That night, Xu Yiyang lay on the sofa bed in the living room, sleepless for a long time.
The night before he went to college in his previous life, he also suffered from insomnia.
But insomnia is not because of excitement, but because of confusion.
There were not many happy things in life at that time. The family had financial difficulties and his mother sold vegetables to support his studies. This made Xu Yiyang bear a huge psychological burden and pressure from the day he went to college.
In school, he was studying and looking for various opportunities to work. He didn't even have time to make friends, let alone fall in love.
In addition, life during college was always tight. I never had enough money to spend, but I was too embarrassed to reach out to my family, so I could only keep reducing my needs.
Later, when I recalled the four years of college, it was simply four years of total abstinence.
During those four years, Xu Yiyang not only had to suppress the emotional throbs of adolescence, but also suppressed his desire for entertainment, social interaction, and material things, making him depressed and depressed.
Now, things are completely different.
In addition to owning Jiayang Education and Guancheng Garments, he also owns multiple properties, more than 30 million in deposits, and 40% of Tengxun shares.
His father, mother, and sister will no longer be tired and run around due to the pressure of life.
This is the beauty of rebirth.
The next morning, Xu Yiyang packed his luggage for Zhonghai in twenty minutes.
In addition to simply packing a few clothes, he only brought his laptop and nothing else, which was considered a standard travel light.
Zhang Chong rushed over at half past eleven, and his family of four got in the car and set off for Quancheng Airport.
At early two o'clock in the afternoon, the family said goodbye at the entrance of the airport.
Xu Yiyang hugged his parents and sister, and entered the security check channel under their watchful eyes.
When parting, Xu Yishan cried, but her parents were fine. Although her eyes were a little red, she did not shed tears after all.
After saying goodbye to his parents and sister, Xu Yiyang got on the plane to Zhonghai.
At this moment, he was filled with emotions and couldn't help but secretly sigh, Zhonghai, here I come.
After a two-hour flight, the plane landed at Hongqiao Airport.
When Xu Yiyang got off the plane, he informed his parents that he was safe, and then took a taxi to Zhonghai Yujing.
His house had no furniture, so he couldn't live in it yet, so he first booked a room in a star-rated hotel opposite the community.
He planned to go to the sales office tomorrow to hand over all the household registration information, and then immediately buy a car to facilitate his activities in Zhonghai.
In the evening, Xu Yiyang had a meal near the Bund alone and walked around the Bund. When he was about to return to the hotel, he received a call from Shen Lele.
As soon as the call was connected, Shen Lele smiled and said, "Xu Yiyang, do you miss me?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "I thought about it."
Shen Lele smiled and said, "What a sweet mouth!"
After saying that, he asked him again: "Is Zhonghai hot?"
"It's quite hot." Xu Yiyang said, "It's hot, stuffy, and humid, and there's not even a gust of wind."
Shen Lele said: "The south is probably more humid and hot. I guess Yanjing should be better."
Xu Yiyang smiled and said: "Yanjing has a specialty called Sauna Tian."
"What do you mean?"
"The weather is just like a sauna."
"Ah?" Shen Lele asked in surprise: "Really? How do you know?"
"It was said on TV." Xu Yiyang said with a smile: "You will have to undergo military training when you go to report, so you must wear sun protection to avoid the heat."
"Okay..." Shen Lele said, "My dad went to buy a train ticket today. He will send me to register with my mother on the 29th."
Xu Yiyang said: "I wish you a safe journey in advance."
Shen Lele asked him: "You won't start school until the beginning of September, and there's only one week left. What are your plans?"
Xu Yiyang said: "I don't have any plans. I just want to get familiar with the environment and wander around."
"Well, I'm alone, so be careful!"
…
Early the next morning, Xu Yiyang came out of the hotel, first went to the Zhonghai Yujing sales office, found the salesperson who sold his house, and handed her the blue-print household registration documents for himself and his sister.
Immediately afterwards, he took a taxi and went straight to Zhonghai's largest car trading market.
Before coming to China Shipping, Xu Yiyang had considered what to buy for his second car.
Although the Buick Regal is not bad, to be honest, the driving experience is very average.
Now, his industry is developing very well and his cash flow is also very good, so his consumption concept has also improved accordingly.
So this time, he plans to buy a better car, a luxury car with more than 500,000 yuan and less than 1 million yuan.
At this stage, the main luxury cars are still the troika of Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi. However, the number of Mercedes-Benz and BMWs in 1999 is still relatively small. The return rate is too high when you drive them, and the models are not good-looking.
Therefore, in comparison, the number of Audis with four laps is much larger, and it is the most common luxury car among the people.
Moreover, Audi is used a lot by government agencies, so driving it out this year will naturally give people a sense of connection and background.
So Xu Yiyang decided to buy an Audi.
China Overseas's largest auto market is located in Pudong New District. Although there are many auto trade shops here, most of them are not up to the standards of 4S shops and appear to be very simple, far less than the scale and grandeur of later generations.
The Audi 4S store is not too big. There are only six cars in the showroom. There are not many people looking at the cars, and the sales staff are relatively idle.
Xu Yiyang stepped into the Audi 4S store and took a look. At first, there were no sales people coming to greet him, so he felt comfortable and took a look at a few cars in the showroom.
There are only two models in this store, the domestically produced Audi 200 and the imported Audi A6.
The Audi 200 has a square face, and the lines are actually not much different from Poussin, which makes it look very awkward.
However, the A6 looks very rounded. Although it is not very good-looking, it is indeed much more beautiful than the other two models.
Xu Yiyang looked at the price list. The Audi 200 sells for over 300,000 to over 400,000 depending on its configuration;
The Audi A6 is imported, with a starting price of 500,000, and the lowest configuration is a manual transmission. The higher version has a 2.8-liter displacement, 190 horsepower, an automated manual gearbox, and a sunroof, and is priced at 650,000.
Since the car purchase tax has not yet been separated, the prices quoted by 4S stores include tax.
Xu Yiyang took a fancy to the top-of-the-range A6 priced at RMB 650,000, so he greeted a young female salesperson and asked her: "Apart from the show car, are there any current cars of this car?"
The saleswoman nodded and said, "Sir, I have a brand new car with a mileage of five kilometers."
With that said, the saleswoman added: "Sir, our current A6 test drives are only mid-range models. If you want to test drive, I can help you apply with our manager."
Xu Yiyang bowed his hands and said, "If I don't want to take a test drive, I'll just take this car."
"Huh?" The saleswoman was dumbfounded and couldn't believe what she heard.
Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said seriously: "Didn't you say there is a brand new car? I want it. You can just take me through the formalities."
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and asked in disbelief: "Sir, do you really want this car?"
Xu Yiyang nodded: "Yes, I want it now."
The saleswoman said happily: "Sir, let me take you to see the car first. If you have no problem with the car, we will go through the formalities and pay the money when we come back."
Xu Yiyang nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look."
The saleswoman went to the manager's office to apply for the car key, and then took Xu Yiyang to the parking lot behind.
In the parking lot in the backyard of the 4S store, there are dozens of Audi cars parked, mostly Audi 200s.
The saleswoman found the top-of-the-line A6, opened the door, and said to Xu Yiyang: "Sir, please take a look."
Xu Yiyang nodded, took a quick look, and made sure that there was no big problem with the appearance, then he said directly to the salesperson: "Let's go and pay."
The car purchase procedure was not troublesome. Xu Yiyang gave his ID to the salesperson and signed several documents.
When signing the car purchase agreement, Xu Yiyang saw the girl's name. It was written in beautiful handwriting and was called Song Xiaoman.
After praising the other party for his good writing, Xu Yiyang followed the other party to the finance room.
It wasn't until it was time to pay that Xu Yiyang remembered to ask: "By the way, how do I get the China Overseas license plate on now?"
Song Xiaoman said: "If you want to buy a local license plate, you need to participate in the auction. A license plate starting with Z should cost more than 100,000."
Xu Yiyang was stunned: "Is it so expensive?"
In my impression, China Overseas license plates will only be at this price level twenty years from now, right
Song Xiaoman explained: "License plates have been auctioned since 1992, and the prices have always been relatively high. Unless you buy a Volkswagen or Buick made in China, in which case the license plate starts at 20,000 yuan, and you can exchange it for other cars after two years." , otherwise other vehicles will cost 100,000 yuan.”
Xu Yiyang suddenly realized that he had thought that Zhonghai’s auction of license plates would only happen after 2000, but he didn’t expect that it would have started long ago.
But he also wondered: "Why does the starting price for buying a Volkswagen Buick start at 20,000?"
Song Xiaoman explained: “China Overseas’s regulations are mainly to support the sales of locally produced cars, but they have also made foreign manufacturers very dissatisfied. It is said that in order to protect Fukang, Hubei Province stipulates that you have to pay 70% for Volkswagen and Buick cars. The news media has reported on the 10,000-yuan 'poverty relief fund' before, which is interesting..."
Xu Yiyang nodded and asked her: "Is it troublesome to take the cards?"
Song Xiaoman said: "Because the price is relatively high, there are very few people participating in the auction. Generally, as long as the price is reached, you can get it, but the process is really troublesome. It is recommended that you find a proxy auction company so that you don't have to worry about it. ”
Xu Yiyang nodded and asked, "Do you provide agency photography services?"
Song Xiaoman said: "We don't have one here, but there are a few regular agency agencies. I can introduce them to you. They charge a certain agency fee, but they will save you a lot of time."
Xu Yiyang asked again: "Is it okay to buy a car first and hang a temporary license plate?"
Song Xiaoman hummed and said: "There is no problem with the temporary license plate. I will take you to apply for a temporary license plate later. Imported cars can receive temporary license plates for 15 days each time. Just wait for you to take a photo of the license plate and then list it." "
"Okay, go and pay!"
There was too much backlog of work some time ago, and I worked overtime late, so the update was a little late, but the promised extra update today will definitely be fulfilled.
