Chapter 138: Buying a Car (Part 2)

  "And you, Mr. Chu?"

  "Hmm..."

  The price of the car, Chu Chen had not considered it before. After deducting the money for buying a house and one-third of the engineering fee from his bank card, he still had over 130 million left. He also had at least 40 million in raw materials. This amount of money was enough to buy a car that he liked.

  Actually, he didn't have any other requirements for the car, as long as it was spacious and durable. However, since he lived in Yuhua Garden, buying a bad car would be embarrassing, and after all, it was his first car in life, so he couldn't bear to treat himself poorly. So he thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said:

  "Manager Tao, my car should have better performance, be able to handle some more complex road conditions, and also have a bit more space. The exterior of the car should look good too. As for the price, let's just say around 700,000 to 800,000 yuan is fine. If it's a bit higher, that's okay too. But I don't want a Hummer, that thing is too flashy, I don't like it."

  After listening to Chu Chen's words, Manager Tao couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that this young man wearing ordinary clothes could actually afford such an expensive car. It really is true that you can't judge a person by their appearance.

  Of course, the more expensive Chu Chen buys, the happier he will be. As a professional manager, Tao Manager will not arbitrarily set prices, and this point of professionalism he still has.

  In 2001, orders worth millions of yuan were not common, so after understanding Wen Yuting and Chu Chen's requirements, Manager Tao greeted everyone and went out to prepare the relevant materials personally.

  Seeing Manager Tao walk out, Li Guodong said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, are you going to buy a car worth 700,000 to 800,000?"

  Wen Yuting gave Li Guodong a white eye and said, "Hmph, Chu Ge is now living in Yu Hua Ting, if he doesn't drive a good car, others will laugh at him! You think you're like him, actually wanting to buy a van!"

  "Isn't it because I don't have money?" Li Guodong said somewhat weakly.

  Upon hearing this, Wen Yuting got a bit angry and said fiercely: "I'm already yours, how can you be so stingy with my money? Are you planning to go Dutch in the future?"

  Li Guodong hastily said: "How can it be AA, I just think it's not good to use a woman's money, and when I make money in the future, I'll return it all to you, isn't that enough?"

  Wen Yuting pinched Li Guodong's arm and said, "You're such a chauvinist pig, can't you just use some of my money? Are we not on the same page now? Or do you secretly dislike me?"

  In the end, Wen Yuting couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

  Chu Chen saw this and hurriedly said: "Li Ge, this is where you're wrong. Just like people interacting with each other, how can it be that only one person pays without getting anything in return? Two people must both make sacrifices for it to work. Since you and Xiao Wen truly love each other, why do you need to distinguish between yourselves?"

  Li Guodong sighed: "I didn't necessarily want to separate you two, but you also know our situation. If her family finds out that I used her money and they have ideas about me, leading to us not being able to be together in the end, where can I go cry? If we're already married, then it doesn't matter."

  "Alright, let's go get our marriage certificate now!" Wen Yuting heard this and immediately stood up, pulling Li Guodong to head outside.

  Chu Yulan hastily pushed her onto the sofa and said with a mixture of tears and laughter: "Yuting, you're only 19 years old now, what are you doing getting a marriage certificate?"

  "Then I'll go and change the birthday on my household registration book," said Wen Yuting with a huff.

  Li Guodong smiled wryly and comforted: "Yuting, don't be like this. As long as you're not angry, can't I change in the future?"

  "Alright then, you said it yourself, what if you regret it?"

  Li Guodong said resolutely: "If I go back on my word, whether in this life or the next, I'll be your ox and horse!"

  Wen Yuting burst into laughter and said: "Li Guodong, you really are relying on me now. However, this is what you said yourself, and both Yu Lan and Chu Ge can be witnesses. If you go back on your word later, don't blame me for whipping you."

  "Go ahead, anyway you've been making me work like a horse, just go ahead and take it."

  Li Guodong said this when he deliberately showed a bit of shamelessness, instantly causing everyone to burst out laughing.

  After chatting with a few people for a while, Manager Tao walked in with a thick stack of materials and greeted Chu Chen and the others. He then took out a color page and introduced:

  "So, based on the descriptions from a few of you earlier, I've brought some information about several car models. Let's talk about this sedan first, within 200,000 yuan, I recommend this new Jetta King..."

  "Wait a minute, isn't this Jetta an old car? Manager Tao, why are you still recommending it?" Wen Yuting interrupted hastily.

  Manager Tao nodded and said: "Miss Wen, you're right. However, this car is the latest model of the old Jetta, which was just released in April with updated interior decorations. Its performance can definitely meet your requirements. And think about it, Jetta has been on the market since 1979 and still hasn't declined, so its quality must be guaranteed."

  "When we buy a car, on the premise that comfort is not bad, the first thing to compare must be quality. Of course, I'm not saying that appearance is unimportant, it's just that when we buy a car, we definitely don't want to buy a fancy shell, right?"

  Wen Yuting nodded, Manager Tao's words were reasonable. Although she wanted to buy a car that looked good, the most important thing was that its performance and quality had to be reliable. This car was an old model, but it looked quite majestic from the outside. Moreover, this car was mainly driven by Li Guodong, and this model was pretty good.

  "Alright, if you think it's okay, I'll introduce you to this car's performance."

  Wen Yuting and others nodded in agreement, and Manager Tao continued to introduce:

  "This car, originating from Volkswagen's technology in Germany, is equipped with a 20-valve engine, also known as an inline 4-cylinder, single-cylinder 5-valve, multi-point electronic fuel injection system. This engine, developed by the latest research and development of the Volkswagen Group, fully showcases creative design ideas, representing the highest level of global engine technology."

  "It adopts a dual overhead camshaft, and the intake efficiency is greatly improved. With the same 1.6L displacement, the single-cylinder 5-valve engine has increased power by 21KW compared to the single-cylinder 2-valve engine. The acceleration time per hundred kilometers, top speed, and fuel consumption have all been significantly improved, giving the vehicle excellent dynamics and economy."

  "In terms of safety, the new Jetta King also comes standard with ABS, or anti-lock braking system, which is an electronic four-wheel independent control system that ensures safe braking on any road surface, especially on rainy and snowy roads; in addition, the new Jetta King is equipped with large-caliber brake systems, 185mm wide tires, and a 210mm diameter pre-reduction shock absorber, ensuring stable and safe driving. Other features such as high-mounted brake lights, airbags, etc., can further ensure your driving safety."
