"Boss, please come inside!" the salesperson of Hongxing auto sales firm greeted Jia Yapeng as soon as he saw his appearance.
If you want to say that it is true that the private enterprise understands people's hearts, unlike the public, it even got two crooked melon and split dates young men to be sales staff. The Red Star car sales line is full of beautiful women.
In the 1990s, when silk stockings were still regarded as valuables, these beauties wore flesh colored silk stockings, capable professional clothes that covered up to the top of their knees, and finally made Jia Yapeng feel a trace of modernity!
"Boss, what car do you need to buy? We are the largest car sales enterprise in the imperial capital. We can meet all your demands!" said the first beauty enthusiastically.
"Would you like coffee, sir?" another beauty took the initiative to make a cup of coffee and sent it.
"OK, thank you!" Jia Yapeng took the coffee without hesitation. He happened to be thirsty. After drinking all the coffee in one breath, he smiled and said thank you to the other party.
"You're welcome!" said the beauty in a soft, waxy, sweet voice.
Well, an important criterion for people's aesthetics in the 1990s is sweetness, such as sweet song queen, sweet song prince, sweet song princess, sweetheart and sweetheart. Anyway, this is the aesthetics and preferences of a generation, and these girls are undoubtedly very sweet.
"Well, you can get busy with your business!" the beauty who took the lead in welcoming Jia Yapeng looked at the beauty who served the coffee with a murderous look, and the beauty who served the coffee returned a look without hesitation. Who is afraid of who!
It seems that they both took Jia Yapeng as prey.
In fact, just from the appearance, Jia Yapeng is not a good prey. Although Jia Yapeng is not rustic and the clothes he wears are still fashionable, the problem is that Jia Yapeng is full of clothes from local stalls and doesn't even have a brand. It doesn't look like a successful person at all. At most, he is a petty bourgeois youth.
Many such people come to the car sales shop, but they basically come to see and test drive the car. They can only feel the feeling of getting off the car here. In reality, they have absolutely no chance to touch the car, let alone have money to buy a car.
Originally, according to past experience, these salesmen would never take the initiative to pay attention to such petty bourgeoisie young people. Even if the other party took the initiative to ask, they also looked like they liked to pay no attention.
Only those big bellied local tyrants with a Hong Kong and Taiwan accent are the targets of these ladies.
However, Jia Yapeng is different. Who makes Jia Yapeng follow a great beauty at the level of peerless beauty, and he is still a mixed race beauty.
Zhu Qiushui gently took Jia Yapeng's hand, whispered something in Jia Yapeng's ear, and smiled from time to time, straightening the eyes of other men in the car sales line, staring at Zhu Qiushui one by one, a pair of envy, jealousy and hatred.
These salesmen are smart. Rich people are not necessarily beautiful women, but men around peerless mixed race beauties like Zhu Qiushui are definitely not simple goods. Anyway, they must have the money to buy a car. At least buying a small car of 100000 is no problem!
Today, I may be counting on this man to make a bill, so the two beauties poured down. After all, according to the company's regulations, Jia Yapeng's commission is who signed the bill in his hand.
"Sir, we have the most comprehensive cars here. We have just arrived a batch of Santana. This is a divine car imported from Germany. The price is very cost-effective. It's only 190000!" the beauty smiled.
"Santana costs 190000!" Jia Yapeng was startled by the price. "The name Santana is not a strange name for anyone. Once upon a time, 13 cars in the streets of China were Santana. For Chinese people, this is undoubtedly a brand with high cost performance!"
However, it is precisely because of the universality of Santana that Jia Yapeng has always believed that Santana is a very cheap car, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to afford it!
But I didn't expect that Santana in this era would be 190000, almost catching up with the two houses he bought. The price subverted Jia Yapeng's common sense.
The sales lady on the other side saw Jia Yapeng's surprised expression, and her heart suddenly cooled. She thought Jia Yapeng must be too expensive. After all, 190000 cars are too expensive for people now.
"Sir, if Santana doesn't meet your needs, we still have cars with higher cost performance. For example, there are Xiali sedans independently produced by our country. The configuration is not poor in all aspects. They still use German technology. The price is only 78000, but they bring their own air conditioner. This is definitely the most favorable car with the highest cost performance below 100000 yuan!" The young lady took Jia Yapeng to a Xiali and introduced him.
"This is the legendary Xiali!!" Jia Yapeng looked at the car like a baby. The previous generation of national God car before discussion was Xiali!
From the perspective of Xiali's price and configuration, Xiali can become a national God car for no reason. At least the appearance and configuration are worse than Santana, but the cost performance is very competitive.
However, thinking of the various God configured models that 78000 will be able to buy in China in 30 years, Jia Yapeng shook his head. The world is right. Buying a car is better than buying a house.
Because house prices have been rising, you can't buy a house with an average of 1800 in 1990 without 100000 in 20 years.
But the Xiali of 78000 in 1990 can sell for 20000 yuan in 30 years.
"Is my mother out of sight? This guy is actually a petty bourgeoisie without money?" the sales lady couldn't help muttering when she saw Jia Yapeng looking around Xiali and making a startling cry from time to time.
If Jia Yapeng really just looks and leaves, she will be laughed to death by the guy just now.
"Sir, do you need anything else?" the lady finally asked. If Jia Yapeng answered no, she was ready to leave directly.
"Hmm! I want to ask, do you have a car with automatic gear? I'm not used to driving with manual gear!" Jia Yapeng also had a driver's license in his previous life, and there are cars, but the cars in his previous life are basically automatic gear, but now most cars are manual gear. There's no doubt that if you let Jia Yapeng drive a car with manual gear, Jia Yapeng really doesn't have the courage, After all, if you are rich now, life is too precious. It's better not to take risks.
"Automatic cars?" the salesperson was stunned. Jia Yapeng really asked her this question. There are too few automatic cars these days, and none of them cost less than 300000. Can this guy really afford it?
"Why? Haven't automatic transmission cars been developed these days?" Jia Yapeng asked puzzled.
"Yes! Of course! It's just not much, and it's not here!" the salesperson made her most correct decision in the past year. She decided to trust Jia Yapeng again, took Jia Yapeng through a small door behind the exhibition hall, and then went to another world.
This showroom is smaller than the previous showroom, and there are many fewer cars in it, but the appearance of each one is different. Basically, they are the cars with the highest appearance in the 1990s.
"This is Clarence rainbow, the cheapest of all automatic transmission cars. It is imported from Germany. The price of the naked car is 290000. Counting all the handling fees, it costs about 350000 yuan!"
"And this one, Honda Accord, is also fully imported. The naked car price is 390000, and all the handling fees add up to about 470000. In addition to automatic transmission, this car is also equipped with very advanced reversing image technology and all electric windows, which can reduce the difficulty of guiding your car!"
"Oh! There are reversing images in this era!" Jia Yapeng was shocked. He thought the reversing images were only available after the millennium.
"Indeed, this is the world's top instantaneous image forming technology. The price of installing this set of equipment alone is worth 100000 yuan, so the price is very expensive!"
Tut Tut, a set of reversing images in 1990 actually cost 100000 yuan. Now it seems that Taobao has done it for 200 yuan.
"Look at this car, the Duke of Nissan. It is the only car in the imperial capital. It has a unique function that none of the cars have. That is, it has a small refrigerator on the car, which allows you to enjoy cold drinks and water and wine on the car. In addition, the wheelbase and space of the car are very large, especially suitable for business people! Of course, the price of a naked car is 4 yuan 50000, but this is the only car in the imperial capital. If you want, you have to add another 100000! "The salesperson introduced hard, although she didn't think Jia Yapeng would have the money to buy such an expensive and unimaginable luxury car.
