Not talking about Louis over there, but just talking about Jiang Hai and the others, while following the girl towards the exhibition hall, Jiang Hai casually asked her: "Are you studying abroad here? Which university are you at? !”
"I'm in Harvard School of Pharmacy and I'm in my third year this year." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the girl also smiled and said.
"Pharmacy school?" Jiang Hai couldn't help but be surprised when the girl said it was the pharmacy school.
He did not question this university. As long as there is a Harvard sign in front, it means that this university is definitely the best in the world. Even Harvard University's excavator major is ranked among the top five in the world. In terms of machine expertise, perhaps the only one that can rival it is the legendary Flying Basketball.
He felt a little surprised that since this girl was a member of the School of Pharmacy and Harvard School of Pharmacy, she would come here to sell cars? How can you do this without doing your job properly
"There is no way. I am an exchange student. I studied in China until my sophomore year and spent the rest of my time here. However, my student status is still in China, so the department cannot issue me a certificate for working or internship. I can find other jobs and work as a shopping guide here. Although I don’t earn much in commission, I have a basic salary of two hundred dollars a week, which is enough for me to live on." As if seeing Jiang Hai’s confusion, Lu Qing He couldn't help but smile and explain.
Hearing her words, Jiang Haidao also nodded. Indeed, it is not easy for a foreigner to work here.
"Speaking of which, your accent sounds like you're from the north. Where are you from? The imperial capital or somewhere? I'm from Lu Province." Seeing that Jiang Hai understood, Lu Qing also turned his head and asked Jiang Hai.
"Oh, I'm from Bingcheng, not the Imperial Capital." Jiang Hai said with a smile after hearing the girl's words.
"Bingcheng? Northeastern? Why don't you have a Northeastern accent?" Lu Qing was a little surprised when Jiang Hai said he was from Bingcheng.
"Not all the three northeastern provinces have accents." Seeing the girl's puzzled look, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile.
The so-called Northeastern accent is actually concentrated in Liao Province, where the Northeastern accent is the strongest.
Further north, to Ji Province, the accent is actually lighter. Further north to the vicinity of Bingcheng, the people there actually speak not much different from Mandarin, which means there are some slang mixed in. And so on, such as bulugui, turupi, etc., but apart from these little slangs, the other words are basically completely consistent with standard Mandarin pronunciation.
Jiang Hai once had a friend from Yun Province. When they were hanging out together, Jiang Hai called his mother who was still alive at that time. His friend was extremely surprised and said to him: How do you give your mother How about speaking Mandarin on the phone
Jiang Hai was confused when he heard this, because the people there spoke Mandarin.
Seeing Jiang Hai and Lu Qing chatting happily there, Xanti and Kama who were following Jiang Hai and Lu Qing felt a little depressed.
Because they can't understand Chinese, Sandy can tolerate it for a while.
But Kama couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help but pull Jiang Hai's sleeves, looked at him with a pair of big eyes, and motioned for him to translate.
Jiang Hai didn't say anything, so he translated the conversation between him and Lu Qing.
When Kama heard that Lu Qing was from Harvard Medical School, he was extremely surprised and started chatting with her happily.
It turns out that this is the school Kama wanted to go to the most. In the United States, doctors have a very high social status.
The highest-paying civilian professions are medicine and lawyers. Although in the eyes of some wealthy people, these two professions are just that, in the eyes of ordinary people, these two professions are extremely lucrative.
The conditions in Clive's family are not bad, but not great either. In addition, Kama-Clive's academic performance is really good, so there is nothing wrong with him if he wants to study medicine.
As the two asked and answered questions, several people unknowingly walked to the car showroom.
As soon as he walked in, Jiang Hai felt that his eyes suddenly brightened. In this large hall, there were hundreds of cars, of various models and brands. After all, this was the largest car in Winthrop. car sales points.
It also serves as a warehouse for the car sales center in Boston. You must know that the buildings in the Boston area are narrow and small.
Even in a 4S store, the space for storing cars is not too big. Compared with the city of Boston, the surrounding places are much larger. Although Lu Qing has almost never sold cars, he still has a good posture. After all, he has passed by training.
With Jiang Hai and his party, they came to the front of several cars and introduced them.
"Although I don't want to admit it, the price difference between domestic cars and cars here is indeed a bit too big. Let's not talk about the quality. The price alone is too different. After selling the car, I also checked some information about us online. The price difference between domestic cars, tsk tsk..." Lu Qing said helplessly as he walked into a car.
"Stop talking, let me introduce it to you first. In fact, if you want to buy a car, the best one is Japanese. Although I know Mr. Jiang probably hates the island country, this is the most cost-effective. If it is just a means of transportation, these cars They are all very good!" According to the needs of her work, Lu Qing began to introduce the cars around her.
"This is Toyota's Camry. The low-end model starts at 22,425 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to more than 130,000 yuan. However, in China, it sells for 179,800 U.S. dollars. The high-end model costs 28,625 U.S. dollars, which is about 174,000 U.S. dollars. Thousand Ruanmei coins are sold for 329,800 in China."
"This is a Honda Accord. The starting price here is 21,680 U.S. dollars, and the highest configuration is 29,115 U.S. dollars. In China, the low-end configuration is sold for 200,000 U.S. dollars, and the high-end configuration is 300,000 U.S. dollars. This is the Mazda6, the starting price is 20,990 U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to soft The sister price is about 127,770 US dollars, and the domestic price is more than 170,000 US dollars. The Sylphy can cost 15,990 US dollars, and the Corolla is 16,800 US dollars... The American models here are cheaper."
Listening to Lu Qing's introduction, Jiang Hai couldn't help but curl his lips, well, these low-end cars sold here are basically about one-third cheaper than those sold in China, whether they are Japanese or American. So true.
But on the contrary, they are Korean-style cars, such as some models from Kia and Hyundai, and their prices are almost the same as those in China.
Some low-end models are even cheaper in China than here, which puzzles Jiang Hai.
But he didn't come here to buy these cars, so he waved his hand to interrupt Lu Qing: "I'm not here to buy these cars. Please help me introduce high-end cars."
Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Lu Qing's mouth that was still talking about the introduction couldn't help but stopped, and looked at Jiang Hai with some surprise.
Because she had never seen Jiang Hai as a rich man, but she had no choice but to comply with Jiang Hai's request.
With Jiang Hai and the other three, she walked to the middle part.
"This is a Volkswagen Touareg model 13, with a 3.6-liter and 280 horsepower. It is considered a high-end car in China. The starting price of this car in China is 910,000 US dollars, but the starting price here is 43,995 US dollars. It’s more than 600,000 yuan cheaper than in China…”
Hearing her words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but feel choked. Well, buying one car in China would cost more than buying three here...
"I want something better." After thinking about it, this is not the country after all. A car worth a million dollars in China is indeed quite flattering, and it is enough to pick up people and so on. But this is the American empire after all. Buying It's shameful to pick someone up in a car that costs less than $100,000.
"That's it, BMW's 740LI, 13 models, six liters, twin-turbocharged, 544 horsepower. The starting price of this one is 141,200 US dollars, and the domestic price should start at 2.56 million US dollars." Hearing Jiang Hai's words were reported mechanically by the girl.
"141,200, which is more than 800,000. Well, it's another three times the price... Is there anything better?" After thinking about it in his mind, Jiang Hai felt that he should look at something better before talking about it. He's not short of money either.
"No matter how good it is, there are three top sedans, Bentley, Maybach and Rolls-Royce. Since you want to ask, I won't introduce you to the Continental. This is the Bentley Mulsanne, the 11-model 6.8T luxury version. , the price here is 298,900 U.S. dollars, and the domestic price should be 5.25 million." After hearing Lu Qing's words, Jiang Hai had already made a habitual calculation. This is relatively reliable, why? Not three times. Three hundred thousand US dollars, probably around 1.85 million. Doesn’t this count as more than twice as much
If the price difference does not reach three times, this is not a scam, at least that is how it seems to Jiang Hai...
"Here is a Rolls-Royce Phantom. The convertible version costs 469,900. In China, it seems to be sold for 8 million. The difference in price is probably more than 5 million. But what you want is a RV. There are normal and extended versions here. It's also 469,900. It seems to sell for 7.98 million in China, and the one without extension is sold for 369,900. The Maybach is not in stock now. If you need to see it, we will go and see it outside. But basically, the Maybach is similar to these two cars. ." After introducing Bentley, Lu Qing began to introduce Rolls-Royce.
"Uh, let's go with the longer one, just this one." Jiang Hai was too lazy to calculate the price difference now, it was a rip-off.
I have to admit that comparing car prices at home and abroad, they are really not that high.
Those people used to say that domestic cars are expensive because of the high customs tax, which is 40%. Now it seems that even if it is 40%, it is not so expensive. A car is worth 40%. A car worth one million yuan, even if 40% of the customs tax is added, would be sold for 1.4 million, but it would be sold directly in China for 4.1 million. Is this because of the tax
"It seems that technology is the only way to go. I will sell as much as I say. Tsk, tsk, that's really shameless."
