"Boss, please come in!" The salesperson of Red Star Car Sales Company saw Jia Yapeng appear and immediately welcomed him.
Indeed, private companies understood people's hearts. Unlike the government, they actually got two ugly young men to be salespeople. In this Red Star Car Sales Company, there were only beautiful women.
In the 90's, stockings were still considered a valuable item. These beautiful women all wore nude stockings and professional attire that covered their knees. Finally, Jia Yapeng felt a trace of modern aura!
"Boss, what car do you need? We are the largest car sales company in the entire Imperial City. We can satisfy all your needs! "The beautiful woman who took the lead said enthusiastically.
"Sir, would you like some coffee?" Another beautiful woman took the initiative to brew a cup of coffee and brought it over.
"Okay, thank you!" Jia Yapeng accepted the coffee without hesitation. He just happened to be thirsty. After drinking all the coffee in one go, he smiled and said thank you to the woman.
"You're welcome!" The beautiful woman said with a soft and sweet voice.
Yes, in the 90s, one of the most important standards of beauty was sweetness. Things like the Queen of Sweet Songs, the Prince of Sweet Songs, the Princess of Sweet Songs, Little Sweetheart, Little Sweetheart, and so on. Anyway, this was the standard of beauty and preferences of this generation, and these girls were undoubtedly extremely sweet.
"Okay, you can go do your thing!" The beautiful woman who took the lead to welcome Jia Yapeng looked at the beautiful woman who served coffee with a murderous gaze. The beautiful woman who served coffee with the beautiful woman returned the gaze with no trace of politeness. Who's afraid of who!
It seemed that the two of them treated Jia Yapeng as prey.
In fact, purely based on appearance, Jia Yapeng wasn't a very good prey. Although Jia Yapeng didn't look rustic and his clothes were considered fashionable, the problem was that Jia Yapeng was wearing clothes from street stalls. There wasn't a single brand on them. He didn't look like a successful person at all. At most, he could be considered a petty bourgeois.
There were many people like this who came to the car sales company. However, they were all here to look at cars and test them. They could only feel the feeling of the car. In reality, they definitely wouldn't have the opportunity to touch a car, let alone have the money to buy one.
According to past experience, these salespeople would never take the initiative to talk to these petty bourgeois youngsters. Even if they took the initiative to ask, they would have a look of indifference.
Only those rich people with big bellies and Hong Kong and Taiwan accents were actively pursued by these ladies.
However, Jia Yapeng was different. Who asked Jia Yapeng to be accompanied by a peerless beauty? Moreover, she was a mixed-race beauty.
This Zhu Qiushui gently held Jia Yapeng's hand and whispered something in Jia Yapeng's ear. From time to time, she would laugh charmingly. The eyes of the other men in the car sales company were straight. They stared at Zhu Qiushui with expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
These salespeople were smart. Rich people didn't necessarily have beautiful women around them. However, the men around a peerless mixed-race beauty like Zhu Qiushui were definitely not simple goods. Anyway, they definitely had the money to buy a car. At least, it wouldn't be a problem to buy a car that was worth 100,000 yuan!
Today, they might have to count on this man to pay the bill, so the two beauties rushed down. After all, according to the company's regulations, whoever signed the bill for Jia Yapeng would get the commission.
"Sir, we have the most comprehensive range of cars here. We have just received a batch of Santana. This is a divine car imported from Germany. The price is very cost-effective. It only costs 190,000 yuan!" The beautiful woman smiled.
"A Santana costs 190,000 yuan!" Jia Yapeng was shocked by the price. "The name Santana is not unfamiliar to anyone. Once upon a time, one-third of the cars on the streets of Hua Xia were Santana. For the people of Hua Xia, this is undoubtedly a very cost-effective brand!"
However, it was precisely because of the popularity of Santana that Jia Yapeng had always thought that Santana was a very cheap car. Otherwise, ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford it!
He didn't expect that a Santana in this era would cost 190,000 yuan. It was almost as expensive as the two houses he bought. This price subverted Jia Yapeng's common sense.
On the other side, the sales lady saw Jia Yapeng's surprised expression and suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She thought that Jia Yapeng must have thought that it was too expensive. After all, 190,000 yuan for a car was too expensive for people nowadays.
"Sir, if the Santana doesn't meet your needs, we have a car with a higher cost-performance ratio. For example, there is a Xiali car produced by our country. Its configuration is not bad in all aspects. It uses German technology. The price is only 78,000 yuan, but it comes with its own air conditioner. This is definitely the best car under 100,000 yuan!" The sales lady introduced Jia Yapeng to a Xiali car.
"This is the legendary Xiali!!" Jia Yapeng looked at the car as if it was a treasure. He was discussing. The national car of the previous generation was the Xiali!
Judging from the price and configuration of the Xiali, it wasn't without reason that the Xiali could become the national car of the future. At least, the appearance and configuration of the Xiali were only a little worse than the Santana, but the cost-performance ratio was great.
However, when Jia Yapeng thought that he could buy all kinds of models with different configurations in Hua Xia 30 years later for 78,000 yuan, he couldn't help but shake his head. People were right. It was better to buy a house than a car.
Because the house price had been rising. A house that cost 1800 yuan in 1990 couldn't be bought without 100,000 yuan in 20 years.
But for a Xiali that cost 78,000 yuan in the 1990s, 30 years later, it would be a miracle if it could be sold for 20,000 yuan.
"Did I make a mistake? Is this guy also a penniless, petty bourgeois youth? " Seeing that Jia Yapeng kept looking at the Xiali and exclaiming from time to time, the sales lady couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
If this Jia Yapeng really just looked and left, then she would be laughed to death by the guy just now.
"Sir, do you need anything else?" The sales lady finally asked. If Jia Yapeng answered no, she was ready to leave directly.
"En! I want to ask, do you have an automatic car here? I'm not used to driving a manual car! " Jia Yapeng also got a driver's license in his previous life, and he also had a car, but the cars in his previous life were basically automatic. But now, most of the cars were undoubtedly manual. If you asked Jia Yapeng to drive a manual car, then Jia Yapeng really didn't have the courage. After all, he was rich now. His life was too precious, so it was better not to take risks.
"Automatic car?" The sales lady was stunned for a moment. Jia Yapeng's question really stumped her. There were too few automatic cars these days, and none of them cost less than 300,000 yuan. Could this guy really afford it?
"What? Don't tell me automatic cars haven't been developed yet? "Jia Yapeng asked, puzzled.
"There are! Of course there are! There aren't many of them, and they aren't displayed here! " The sales lady made the best decision she had made in the past year. She decided to trust Jia Yapeng again. She brought Jia Yapeng through a small door at the back of the exhibition hall, and then they arrived at another world.
This exhibition hall was smaller than the previous one, and there were a lot fewer cars in it. But the appearance of each car was instantly different. Basically, they were all cars at the peak of appearance in the 90s.
"This is the Chrysler Rainbow, the cheapest automatic car among all the cars. It's imported from Germany, and the price is 290,000 yuan. Including all the administrative fees, it's about 350,000 yuan!"
"And this is the Honda Accord. It's also fully imported, and the price is 390,000 yuan. All the administrative fees add up to about 470,000 yuan. In addition to being an automatic car, this car is also equipped with a very advanced reversing image technology and fully electric windows. It can reduce the difficulty of driving your car! "
"Oh! So reversing images were already available in this era! "Jia Yapeng was shocked. He thought reversing images were only available after the millennium.
"Indeed, this is the world's top instantaneous image forming technology. The price of installing this equipment alone is worth 100,000 yuan, so the price is very expensive!"
Tsk tsk, a reversing image from the 90s actually cost 100,000 yuan. Now, it seems like it's sold on Taobao for only 200 yuan.
"Look, there's also this one, the Nissan Duke. This is the only car in the whole Imperial City. It has a unique feature that all cars don't have, and that is it has a small refrigerator on the car. It allows you to enjoy iced cold drinks and wine in the car. In addition, the car's wheelbase and space are very large, especially suitable for business people! Of course, the price is 450,000 yuan, but this is the only car in the whole Imperial City. If you want it, you'll have to add another 100,000 yuan! " The sales lady did her best to introduce, although she didn't think that Jia Yapeng would have the money to buy such an unimaginably expensive luxury car.
