The richest man started out as a car rental company

Chapter 176 Island Tour

This time, the group's destination was an isolated island dozens of nautical miles south of Weizhou Island, with only one village on the island.

This village is called Xieyang Village, and the permanent population of the entire village is less than 500 people.

The reason for coming here is because one of Long Jinggang's high school classmates is a high-ranking official in this village.

It is also because it is convenient for ships to dock here.

It took 4 hours to reach the destination. Everyone was very excited along the way. Except for Yi Yi who was a little seasick, everyone else couldn't wait to go to the island to play.

Zhang Chi and Long Jinggang carried a bag of fruit, some cigarettes, alcohol, tea, etc., and went to visit his classmate's house first.

Upon learning that they were coming here to play for a few days, Gangzi's classmate enthusiastically invited them to stay at his home.

However, Zhang Chi declined directly.

Since they are out to play, they want to experience a different lifestyle. Anyway, they brought all the camping equipment and spent tens of thousands of dollars.

Seeing that he insisted, the man did not invite him again, but still prepared dinner for him tonight. They would not eat at his house, but eat fresh seafood at a food stall on the beach.

This island is not very open to the public, and only a few tourists come to visit occasionally, so there are homestays and other things.

But compared with Weizhou Island, this place is more like a small primitive fishing village, and the supporting facilities are very backward.

There wasn't even a trash can on the entire island, let alone a public toilet.

As for the food stalls on the beach, there are actually only two, and the main consumer groups are still the young and old men in the village.

After making an appointment to see each other in the evening.

Zhang Chi and his companion returned to the beach to reunite with the main force, and then, under the leadership of Gangzi, they pulled three camping carts and headed towards a beach on the west side of the island.

Feeling the sea breeze on the road and staring at the scorching sun, I felt that the sky in October was not so cool, but rather scorching.

Zhang Chi hurriedly found a straw hat and put it on, which relieved him a little.

The women were fully prepared.

Especially Mimi, she took off her sun protection clothes and showed off her figure in a bikini swimsuit.

Zhang Chi glanced sideways and didn't dare to look again.

Gangzi walked over to her with a smile and started talking to her.

As for Daguang, after Chuchu glared at him, he simply looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, entering the meditation mode of an old monk.

The group arrived at the beach where they were going to camp and set up tents tonight, chatting and laughing.

The three men moved consciously.

The women put on beautiful swimsuits, took little yellow duck swimming rings, blankets, mats and other things, and went directly to the sea to play.

Some were playing in the water, some were sunbathing, and none of them showed any intention of coming over to help.

Chuchu, the only one who wanted to accompany Daguang, was also pulled away by Shen Feifei, who said that she had to apply sunscreen on her, otherwise the girl might be poisoned by the scorching sun.

There are four tents in total.

Zhang Chi and Gangzi were in one group, and Daguang and Chuchu were in another group. This was Gangzi's intention, that he should do his best to create conditions for Daguang, so their convertibles were deliberately placed a little further away.

There were two tents left, and Shen Feifei would divide them up herself. Anyway, there would definitely be three girls squeezing into one tent.

As soon as the tent was set up, Zhang Chi smelled a pleasant aroma of coffee.

Looking up, he saw Shen Feifei had started a fire and was making coffee. She poured a cup and waved towards him, motioning him to come over and try it.

"Did you bring it yourself?"

"Well, try it."

Zhang Chi pulled a folding beach chair and sat down. Actually, he didn't like drinking coffee very much, but it smelled quite like coffee.

I took a sip and I don’t know if it tastes good or not, but I feel that this coffee bean must be quite expensive.

"It would be better if there were some ice cubes."

Shen Feifei glanced at him speechlessly. This small jar of coffee beans costs 7000 yuan, plus ice cubes...

She loves coffee and finds it intolerant.

It's as uncomfortable as hearing someone use tea leaves that cost tens of thousands of dollars per pound to boil eggs.

But think about it, things are meant to be enjoyed.

She no longer felt that there was anything to be sad about.

When Gangzi saw that there was still coffee and heard Zhang Chi mumbling about wanting ice cubes, he volunteered to go to the village to buy some.

There is everything in the small fishing village, and ice is definitely for sale. However, it is used to freeze fish. It certainly cannot be eaten, but it can be used to chill things.

It just so happened that they hadn't bought some seasonings or something, so Gangzi went over and bought some for them.

"Do you guys come here often to play?"

Zhang Chi heard Shen Feifei's question, shook his head and smiled, "This is my first time here, but Gangzi comes here often. The person we just visited is his classmate. We used to get along well."

"Oh."

Shen Feifei leaned back and her white thighs suddenly appeared from under the bath towel.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but take a glance. It must be said that Shen Feifei's body was still in great shape.

She is the type that is plump but not too plump. To put it bluntly, she is fat where she should be fat, and thin where she should be thin.

Girls like her have all undergone some special training and have the habit of exercising regularly, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain such a figure.

If one of them doesn't develop well, he or she will become like Mimi.

Even though Mimi has a big secret, the fat on her belly can be seen in several layers when she bends over, and it is far inferior to Shen Feifei's abs.

"Have you seen enough?"

"Ah, haha, I, I just wanted to see if you had put on sunscreen."

Shen Feifei adjusted her sunglasses that had fallen slightly, glanced at him sideways, and jokingly said, "Why, if you didn't apply it, did you just say you would help me apply it and then take advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of me?"

Zhang Chi heard this and frowned righteously, "Is this how I am in your eyes?"

Shen Feifei chuckled.

"Yes."

Zhang Chi: “…”

I can't continue the conversation today. This woman really doesn't give me any chance at all.

Just when Zhang Chi was feeling a little embarrassed and Shen Feifei wanted to give him a way out.

Mimi, who was not far away, suddenly shouted, "Come here quickly, there are still a lot of oysters and snails here."

Shen Feifei's eyes lit up and she smiled, "I've always heard that catching seafood is fun, but I've never actually done it before."

Zhang Chi heard this and smiled, "This is easy. I will teach you how to distinguish seafood and what you can eat and what you can't eat. We have to learn this since we were young."

"Well, let's go."

The two of them walked towards the nearby reef area, talking and laughing, as if the previous conversation had never happened.

Daguang, who was busy setting up the tent, and Chuchu, who had come over to help at some point, looked at each other.

Chu Chu patted her chest and said, "The atmosphere was so weird just now. I thought Brother Zhao and Sister Fei were in a cold war."

Daguang also nodded repeatedly.

He is a person who can't talk. If he were to encounter a situation like that just now, I'm afraid he would want to die.

Not only did he fail in his attempt to take advantage of someone, but he was also exposed.

It’s scary to think about it.

I don’t know how his brother could act as if nothing had happened and continue to smile at the person involved.

Chuchu glanced at Daguang.

"Ahem, um, I, there's a place where I can't apply sunscreen, how about you..."

Daguang was stunned for a moment, looked at Chuchu's fair back, and nodded stupidly.

·
After playing in the reef area for more than an hour, Zhang Chi looked towards the village in confusion, wondering why Gangzi had been gone for so long and had not returned.

Fearing that Gangzi might have encountered something, Zhang Chi picked up his phone to call Gangzi to ask about it, but was surprised to find that Gangzi had called him and sent him video messages more than a dozen times.

He was just teaching a few girls to identify various types of snails in the reef area and didn't hear the sound.

I was just about to call Gangzi back.

Then I heard the sound of an engine.

Everyone looked up and saw a small van slowly approaching. The black smoke along the way looked quite scary.

After the car stopped, Gangzi pushed the door open and got out from the passenger seat.

"Chizi, a fellow villager wants you to help look after his car."

Zhang Chi was stunned. I’m already out on vacation, and you’re still looking for something to do for me?
At this time, Shen Feifei pulled Zhang Chi's clothes and whispered, "Let's see what's going on first. Gangzi has been giving you a look."

Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this, and then he noticed that Gangzi was winking at him from time to time.

After approaching.

Gangzi introduced: "This is Director Wang. The rows of farmed fish fillets we saw when we entered the island are his."

"Oh, hello, Director Wang."

The middle-aged man driving the car smiled and shook hands with Zhang Chi.

The man had calluses on his hands and dark skin. He should be around 40 years old, but probably because he lived at sea for so many years, he looked as if he was over .

Gangzi continued, "My classmate said that Director Wang wanted to purchase a few small trucks to transport goods. He heard that I was selling used cars to you now, so he introduced Director Wang to take care of our business."

When Zhang Chi heard this was the reason, he thought, you would be a bastard if you don’t make money.

He smiled and asked, "This is easy. I wonder how many units Director Wang wants. Do you have a favorite model?"

Director Wang was a man of few words. He glanced at Shen Feifei and the other girls awkwardly before taking out his phone and saying, "I asked someone before and many people recommended this to me."

"This is the Wuling Hongguang pickup truck, and this is the Changan Star pickup truck. They are different, but the prices are similar."

"Well, can the used car be cheaper?"

Zhang Chi took a look at the phone he was using and found that it was the same one he had used before, both were Redmi 2nd generation. He knew that he was also a frugal person.

In addition, the business was introduced by Gangzi’s friend.

After thinking about it, he simply nodded and said, "Of course, a 9.9% new car for 2 yuan, plus a 2-year warranty. If the car breaks down in the future, just let me know and I'll come to the island to fix it for you."

The scenery of this island is nice, and Zhang Chi feels that he will come here for vacation more often in the future.

If I could get more familiar with the villagers, maybe I could buy an old house and convert it into a sea view villa.

When Director Wang heard about such good news as quality assurance, he nodded happily.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Zhang. I want five in total. I'll transfer the money directly to you. Let's add each other on WeChat."

The people on the island are really simple and honest. They want to transfer the money to themselves before they even see the car. This business deal is too straightforward.

Zhang Chi added the other party on WeChat, and then saw a transfer message of 10 yuan.

Out of the other party's trust in him, Zhang Chi immediately contacted Fatty and asked him to help get a few Wuling or Changan pickup trucks, as there were still a lot of second-hand ones.

The market price is generally not high, and you can buy dozens of units for a few thousand dollars.

I don’t know if Director Wang has heard this number.

After Zhang Chi hung up the phone, he asked curiously, "Mr. Zhang, if you have enough inventory on hand, I have a few people who also want to buy cars. Do you want me to introduce them to you?"

"Anyone else wants to buy it?"

Director Wang nodded and said, "Yes, our village has recently set up a new e-commerce base to support farmers. Every day, we have to transport goods to the port for packaging and delivery to the city. Now every household wants to buy a small truck, otherwise they can't keep up with the progress. The goods loaded in my van are not even half as much as those loaded in the truck."

Director Wang said this, pointing to his broken van that was emitting black smoke.

The car was probably exposed to seawater. Zhang Chi knew where the problem lay when he saw it.

If you think about it carefully, this is an island, not inland. Apart from other things, the air humidity here is much higher than inland. If the vehicle is not tin-plated or chrome-plated, it will rust easily.

I just didn’t expect that such a remote island would have an e-commerce industry.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but look at Shen Feifei beside him, and sighed that she really had a unique vision. If she hadn't reminded him, he would have almost missed this opportunity.

"Um, Mr. Zhang?"

"Well, of course. How about I go back to the village with you and we can find a place where you can ask someone to come over and talk to you face to face?"

Director Wang was delighted when he heard this and nodded, "That's great, why don't you just go to my house? I have a homestay, you can stay there tonight, it's free."

Zhang Chi politely declined, and then asked Daguang and the girls to stay at the beach to play, while he and Gangzi got into Director Wang's van and went to the village.

It’s always a bad idea to turn down a business deal that comes to your doorstep.

If the quantity is large, you can earn more than 100,000.

Come to the village.

Sure enough, I saw an interesting B&B with a graffiti on the outer wall, depicting a scene from Big Fish and Begonia.

"This was drawn by my girl and some college students, haha."

"Not bad, this is a good painter. Your daughter should be an art student, right?"

Zhang Chi smiled and took out his mobile phone to take a picture. He felt that Xiasha Village could also imitate this kind of cultural graffiti, and perhaps it could attract a wave of tourists.

"What art student? She studied marine conservation. These were all drawn by her classmates. I even paid them for them."

Director Wang sighed, obviously not very satisfied with her daughter's major.

It's funny that her father is engaged in seafood farming, but his daughter is studying marine protection. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?

If you really want to protect it, then don't keep anything.

Entered the homestay.

The courtyard still feels like a homestay.

There are many climbing flowers planted along the wall, as well as some bonsai, which are colorful and beautiful.

"Xiaohua, someone's coming to our house, hurry up and get some drinks or something."

"No need, Director Wang."

"Well, you're welcome. I don't have the habit of drinking tea, otherwise I would make tea for you."

As Director Wang spoke, he started calling his friends.

Soon, people in the village got the news and came running over.

Zhang Chi took a look and was surprised to see that there were quite a few people coming, and each of them had a strong desire to buy.

After a preliminary count, including the 5 units purchased by Director Wang, the total sales volume was 33 units.

If he makes 1 yuan from a small pickup truck, that would be 33 yuan.

And also gained a wave of goodwill.

After all, these islanders have nowhere to buy a nearly new car for 2 yuan.

It's just like Director Wang's broken van.

He had bought the car second-hand, but it had a lot of problems after he bought it. Every time he had to repair the car, he had to take a passenger boat to the city to get it repaired.

Yes, there is a passenger ship to this island, which runs once a day.

This makes things even more troublesome. He is busy with work and has no time to deal with it.

This was also the main reason why he immediately made the decision when Zhang Chi offered a two-year warranty. There were too few supporting facilities on the island, not even a car repair shop.

Zhang Chi can be said to have earned this money with a clear conscience.

In just over ten minutes, he received 66 yuan for the car purchase.

And everyone paid in full, tsk tsk tsk…
