Chapter 12 The dead duck has a tough mouth
During the three-day New Year’s Day holiday, the catering industry ushered in a golden period.
Restaurants of all sizes are doing a booming business and their owners are always smiling.
Just tired waiter.
On the evening of the 2nd, Jiang Ning and Feng Yu invited Zhang Xin and his wife to dinner.
On the fourth day after New Year's Day, Jiang Ning and Zhang Xin went to the city together to take the third subject exam.
I successfully passed the road test and safe and civilized driving test and got my driver's license.
It took more than a month to learn how to drive.
But it’s really not easy.
Jiang Ning did not take the driving school car back, but took a taxi to the city.
I took a walk around the auto city and planned to buy a car and drive it home directly.
I'm used to driving a pickup truck for off-road driving, so I don't consider a sedan.
After looking around, I found that most of the cars in the Mercedes-Benz store were sedans, and there was only one SUV, the GLA, which was ugly and small and I didn't like it. I could buy something else, but I had to pay for the order and wait at least a month, so I went to look at the BMW.
There is an X5 in the BMW store, but unfortunately it was ordered by someone else.
If you want it, you have to pay to make a reservation and wait.
Jiang Ning went abroad right after taking the college entrance examination and has been living abroad for the past few years. He has no obsession with car brands. He doesn’t have to drive a BBA. As long as it is an off-road vehicle with a large space and not too bad power, it will be fine. And he wants to buy it now and doesn’t want to wait, so he passed on BMW.
When I walked into the Great Wall store, I saw a square off-road vehicle.
It looks quite like a Mercedes-Benz G-Class and its interior is quite luxurious.
I took it for a test drive and fell in love with it instantly.
Easy to drive and powerful.
Jiang Ning was very surprised. Today's domestically produced cars are quite powerful.
But when I asked about the price, I was a little disappointed because it was too cheap.
Such a good car is less than 200,000 yuan, and you have to wait. The salesperson said that this is a new car that has just been released and is selling very well. There are too many orders but the production capacity cannot keep up. You have to wait at least four months to queue up to pick up the car, and you have to pay more if you buy it from a car dealer.
Jiang Ning was speechless, what a waste of emotions!
So I passed it too.
After wandering around, he came to a car sales and service company with many car logos. He asked what off-road vehicles they had for sale. He had to have one in stock as he didn't want to wait. The salesperson then introduced him to a big car, the LX570.
"This car was ordered by a customer and was supposed to be delivered, but the customer had some financial problems and no longer wants it. If he pays in full, he can drive away the day after tomorrow. If he pays for a loan, he will have to wait two more days, but he should be able to get the license plate in three days."
Jiang Ning has driven this car, and many wealthy people in the Middle East buy it.
After sitting in it and feeling it for a while, I paid the full amount and made a reservation.
After waiting for two days, the license plate was obtained.
Jiang Ning was driving home when he received a call from his mother on the way.
Zhang Yulan asked: "Why haven't you come back yet?"
Jiang Ning said: "We are already on the way."
Zhang Yulan asked: "Have you bought the car?"
Jiang Ning asked, "Have you bought it?"
Zhang Yulan hung up the phone without asking how much.
When we arrived at Jixiang Community, we lined up to enter the gate.
The community is too big, there are too many cars, and the entrance and exit are often congested.
If the access control system fails and the pole doesn't rise for a long time, it would be really frustrating to wait.
After waiting for seven or eight minutes, I finally entered the community.
When I passed by his brother's vegetable shop, I saw my mother standing at the door from a distance.
He was holding a big red quilt cover and a bunch of firecrackers in his hands, and was talking to his aunt.
Jiang Ning drove the car over to the door, got out, and said hello to his mother and aunt.
Zhang Yulan was very surprised. She looked at the car again and was even more surprised: "What kind of car is this?"
"SUV!"
Jiang Ning answered casually, saying that she didn't understand anyway.
Zhang Yulan asked: "Why is it so big? How much is it?"
Jiang Ning said: "More than 200 million!"
"what?"
Zhang Yulan was shocked and thought she had heard it wrong: "More than two million?"
My aunt was also surprised, thinking she had heard it wrong.
Jiang Ning said: "Yes!"
Zhang Yulan looked incredulous: "Where did you get so much money?"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Of course I earned it, could it be stolen or robbed...
Uh!
It seems to be stolen.
Zhang Yulan felt like she was going crazy: "Where did you get the money to buy such an expensive car?"
Jiang Ning said: "You didn't even ask me how much money I have!"
Zhang Yulan subconsciously asked: "How much money do you have?"
Jiang Ning said: "Anyway, it's a lot."
Zhang Yulan immediately realized that it was inappropriate to ask in front of his aunt. Fortunately, her son did not say anything, so she quickly changed the subject: "It's okay to buy a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. You are not a big boss, why buy such an expensive car!"
Jiang Ning: "..."
Zhang Yulan grumbled for a few words and Jiang Hua also came out.
I was so surprised that I felt my penis was becoming more and more difficult to see through.
Zhang Yulan muttered a few words and gave the firecrackers to Jiang Hua.
Then he tied the big red quilt in his hand to the wiper.
Crackling...
Jiang Ning felt it was too much to bear and hid in his brother's shop.
It smells so bad!
After a while, his aunt passed away.
Zhang Yulan did not ask him how much money he had, but instead talked about another matter: "Your second uncle called yesterday and said he found a job for you, working as a toll collector on the highway. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Ning was surprised: "Where?"
Zhang Yulan said, "They said they were going to Jianchuan, a toll station in the mountains."
Jiang Ning immediately shook his head: "No, it's too far."
Zhang Yulan said, "It won't be long before it's your turn. You don't have any education, so you can't just sit there doing nothing. Your second uncle's classmate works in the provincial transportation system, so he can get you in. After working for a few years, you can get a job."
Jiang Ning was surprised: "I still have to work as a temporary worker for a few years!"
Zhang Yulan said: "It's great to be able to get a civil service job after working for a few years. Nowadays, many college students stay at home to take the exam."
Jiang Ning said, "I can't do that job, let my brother do it!"
Zhang Yulan said, "It costs money!" Jiang Ning asked, "How much does it cost?"
Zhang Yulan said, "It's said to be three hundred thousand!"
Jiang Ning was not surprised. He thought that this price was cheap. He said, "Let my brother go. See if the family has enough money. If not, I will pay for it."
Zhang Yulan opened her mouth, but could not speak.
Jiang Hua said, "I won't go. That place is too far. If I go, your sister-in-law will have to go too!"
Jiang Ning thought about it and it was indeed a bit unrealistic.
It’s not easy to support a family.
For those who have wives and children, living apart is an even bigger problem.
After lunch, Jiang Ning and Jiang's father went downstairs.
Jiang Youxin took his eldest son to eat, and Jiang Ning packed up and got out of the car.
Take off the quilt cover that I have tied to the windshield wiper. It is too eye-catching and affects my vision.
While I was busy, Feng Yu came back from get off work.
He rode past the door on an electric scooter and stopped when he saw him.
Jiang Ning closed the car door and asked, "Why did you come back so late?"
Feng Yu said: "I had a lot of things to do in the morning, so I got off work late."
Jiang Ning asked: "My brother said you haven't come to buy groceries recently, what's going on?"
Feng Yu said: "How can I feel embarrassed if your brother doesn't accept my money?"
Jiang Ning said: "The vegetables he sells are all grown by my father. There is no cost. He doesn't charge you for them, just take them."
"How can I be so embarrassed!"
Feng Yu looked at the car and asked, "Is this the car you bought?"
Jiang Ning nodded: "Tell your sister not to cook tonight, let's go out to eat together!"
Feng Yu thought about it and agreed.
Jiang Ning said: "Let's go eat quickly. See you in the evening."
Feng Yu nodded and went home.
Jiang Ning was thinking about where to go in the afternoon when his cousin Jiang Ze called.
Jiang Ze asked him: "I heard that you bought a car worth more than 200 million?"
Jiang Ning asked, "Did your aunt say that?"
Jiang Ze said: "Well, what car did you buy?"
Jiang Ning said: "570."
Jiang Ze was amazed: "What a rich man! Where is the car? Let me go and take a look!"
Jiang Ning said: "In front of the vegetable store!"
"I am going now!"
Jiang Ze said this and hung up the phone.
About twenty minutes later, someone arrived.
Also coming with them was my second uncle’s cousin Jiang Wei.
He drove here in Jiang Wei's Land Rover.
They got in the car and took a look.
Jiang Ze asked: "You made a fortune in Africa, how much money did you make?"
Jiang Ning said: "I can't tell you this, right?"
Jiang Ze said angrily: "I'm not asking you to borrow money, what are you afraid of!"
Jiang Ning said: "I won't say that either!"
Jiang Wei asked: "With over 2 million, why don't you buy a Range Rover?"
Jiang Ning asked: "I haven't seen them sold in the city. Besides, is there any difference?"
Jiang Wei said: "Of course there is, the Range Rover is not more prestigious than this car."
Jiang Ning didn't understand: "A car is just a tool. As long as the money is in place, they are all the same. Why do we have to rank them? Besides, what does a Range Rover look like? I have never seen that car. Not many people drive it abroad!"
Jiang Wei said: "Bullshit, there are so many of them on the streets of America."
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I've been to New York and Los Angeles, but I've never seen this!"
Jiang Wei was surprised: "You have also been to the United States."
Jiang Ning said: "Yes, I've been there a few times."
Jiang Wei was skeptical: "Why are you working as a security guard in Africa and going to the United States?"
Jiang Ning said: "On a business trip!"
Jiang Wei didn't quite believe it: "As a security guard, can you go on a business trip to the United States?"
Jiang Ning asked, "Why can't I go on business trips as a security guard?"
Jiang Wei looked skeptical: "You're just bragging, right?"
Jiang Ning said: "Just treat it as me bragging."
Jiang Ze asked: "Why don't you buy domestically made cars? Domestic cars are pretty good now."
Jiang Ning said: "I've taken a fancy to the new tank from Great Wall, but the problem is that I can't buy it. I have to wait four months."
Jiang Ze said: "Tank is indeed very good, but Huawei Wenjie is also OK."
Jiang Ning said: "I haven't heard of it. Huawei is also making cars?"
Jiang Ze said: "Of course, Wenjie's car is quite good."
Jiang Ning asked: "Is it reliable for a company that makes mobile phones to make cars?"
Jiang Ze said: "Of course, Huawei's product quality must be guaranteed."
Jiang Ning said, "It seems that there is no one selling it in the city. I can just make do with the 570."
Jiang Ze said: "It is indeed not available in the city, it is only sold in the provincial capital."
Jiang Wei said: "Don't buy domestically made cars, they have many problems."
Jiang Ze said: "Get lost, you are not patriotic."
Jiang Wei said, "Can you please stop using moral blackmail?"
Jiang Ze said: "Let's just tell the truth. Domestic cars are no worse than joint venture cars. At the same price, domestic cars are much better than joint venture cars. Your broken car costs 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to repair a year, and it has a lot of minor problems. It's not as good as a domestic car!"
Jiang Wei said: "That's nonsense, there's no such thing as 50,000 or 60,000!"
Jiang Ze said: "In June, I spent 30,000 yuan to replace the electronic control unit, and in September, I spent more than 10,000 yuan to replace the clutch. How much is this?"
Jiang Wei said: "It's not like we change it every year."
Jiang Ze said: "Don't be stubborn. You have many problems, but you are still stubborn."
Jiang Ning said helplessly: "Can you say something else? A car is just a means of transportation. Why is there so much arguing about it?"
Jiang Wei said: "If you have anything to do this afternoon, make an appointment with someone to play mahjong."
Jiang Ning immediately became excited when he heard this: "Hurry up, we just ran out of money to fill up the gas tank!"
