System: I open an inn in the desert
Chapter 451: Car Viewing
After breakfast, Lin Yu accompanied his parents to learn about the prices and purchasing channels of vegetables, fruits, poultry and meat in this area, so that housewives can better control the cost and menu of the dinner party (that is, ask about the price of vegetables, compare prices...)
Lin Yu felt childish and tried a game of ring tossing at a street stall. He got 10 rings for 20 yuan. Although the prizes looked simple, it was fun. Before he knew it, almost an hour had passed.
Just when we were about to leave, something unexpected happened.
The family of three had planned to drive back to town, but on the way they suddenly met neighbors who were coming to the city to do some shopping. The neighbors had also finished shopping and were ready to go home, and they had driven here by themselves, so Lin's father and mother asked them to share a car with them.
The plan changed temporarily, and Lin Yu hadn't decided where to go yet, so he asked in the class group. It turned out that many classmates had returned early for the New Year like him, and most of them were in Yunhai, which saved him a lot of effort.
"Then I'll go help my sister return the car first. My classmates are having a party in Yunhai, and I'll go back to town in two days." Lin Yu explained the reason. He went back to town to visit relatives with his parents. He has been studying in school for so many years, and he is not familiar with most of his relatives at home. It would be better to wait until around the New Year to meet them together to save time and worry.
"Okay, come back when you're done. Maybe we'll have to come again in a couple of days after your brother-in-law comes back. We'll talk over the phone then."
"Well, be careful on your way and call me when you get home." Lin Yu helped his parents load the luggage and souvenirs they brought back into the car. Fortunately, the car they drove to buy New Year's goods was big enough, otherwise they would not be able to take everything away.
After folding the things, he said, "Sorry to bother you, uncle and aunt. My parents are always thinking about you when they are away. This time, I specially brought you some local specialties. When you get back, you can have a good gathering. I hope everyone has a safe journey."
Hearing this, the neighbors all responded with a smile.
The family of three split into two groups, and Lin Yu also drove the car back to the car rental company.
Lin Ou rented a car because she had a field interview two days ago. It was a project that she took the initiative to negotiate with the station. It was an attempt at new fields and topics. The benefits and impacts were still uncertain, so she was unable to apply for funding for the time being.
The location of this project is quite remote, and it would be impossible to get a taxi if you come back a little late. Qi Yu's car had been sent for repair and maintenance because it had not been driven for a long time, so she rented this car with her own money.
After the interview, her family happened to be coming over. The house she lived in now had two free parking spaces, and apart from the car rental, she had no other expenses, so she extended her stay for two more days and did not refund it.
After returning the car to the rental company and completing the formalities, Lin Yu made some inquiries and found that the cost of renting a car was not cheap at all.
Although this amount of money is not a burden for him now, for his sister and brother-in-law who are working class, if they want to rent a good car for a long time, the expense is not a small amount.
This is the case when the couple does not have the pressure of supporting their elderly parents or having children for the time being. Once you consider the long term, there will be more places to spend money on trivial matters.
In the past, Lin Yu would definitely not have considered so much, but due to his long-term experience in running an inn, he couldn't help but think too much about these little details. When he took into account all aspects of the cost of living, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the couple was stretched thin.
If outsiders knew this idea, they would be speechless.
After all, in the eyes of most people, Lin Ou and his wife are definitely a highly educated and high-income group. Their income and benefits are already ahead of more than 80% of their peers. They have a car and a house with no loans, are married with no children, and have careers. They have both reached the peak of their lives.
If this standard of living is still tight, then others may only deserve to be penniless and barely survive.
But the younger brother obviously has a deep filter and is worried about his sister's life.
It just so happened that the car rental company had a good location, and not far away was a large-scale 4S store, so Lin Yu strolled in.
It is said that clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. Lin Yu realized this as soon as he entered the door. In the morning, he was called up by his parents to go to the morning market. He really didn't have time to dress himself up, so he just grabbed a few clothes and put them on.
Moreover, compared with the desert, the air in the sea of clouds has more water vapor, and the body feels colder in the winter than in the desert. Xiaolin focuses on keeping warm and gives up the beauty of freezing.
Jeans, a sweatshirt, a jacket, sneakers, and an unkempt hairdo, his image right now is a bit...
But fortunately, he still has the face to show off——
"Hello sir, is there any car model you would like to see? I can introduce it to you."
A professional female salesperson dressed in a suit came over, smiling and friendly, but when Lin Yu took a look, the nameplate clearly read "Intern Consultant" and there was not even a name.
There were also a few salespeople in the lobby.
Some were wiping their cars carefully, trying not to leave a single fingerprint.
Some are talking on the phone to maintain client relationships - whether they have had breakfast, how they are feeling, whether they need a beauty treatment together... they are chatting with each other as if they were family members and are very engaged.
There were also a few people huddled behind the computers, discussing something with each other, pointing at the screen and typing on the keyboard, looking very busy.
Lin Yu put forward his own request: "I want to see a car suitable for girls to drive, preferably an electric car or a hybrid car, with a smaller appearance." He didn't care what others thought, as long as he could choose a car he liked.
The female salesperson was delighted.
Although this is her first internship job and she hasn't made any orders in half a month, she has seen pigs run even if she has not eaten pork. She watched her seniors work and summed up the experience: the more detailed and practical the customer's requirements are, the more likely it is to close a deal.
So he smiled even more: "Yes, sir, this way please."
She raised her hand to guide him to the showroom next door and asked, "What kind of woman are you looking to buy a car for? Do you have a preferred style? What is your budget?"
As soon as this question was asked, Lin Yu was immediately sure that this was indeed an intern, the kind with a blank slate. The three very straightforward questions were very different from the words of his own gold medal customer service staff. The reason why the store had not been open for half a month was found.
But this was exactly what Lin Yu wanted. He didn't have time to talk in circles with the salesperson and directly stated his needs: "For my sister. The style should be suitable for young girls. Safety is the most important. It would be best if it has automatic parking or smart..."
Along the way, Lin Yu stated all the requirements he could think of, except for the budget cap.
The sales lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
When they arrived at the exhibition hall, she tentatively took Lin Yu to the new product booth and pointed to a retro-style car and introduced it: "This is the new model launched by the xxx brand this month, with a super long battery life..."
This is the highest priced car in the hall, and it is the price of the bare car without any customized services.
She wasn't exaggerating; the car's price and appearance were indeed attractive, its performance was indeed as described in the brochure, and it even performed very well in field tests. But the problem was that the positioning of this car was too inaccurate.
This appearance and various settings are clearly developed to suit the conditions of female drivers, but the price is more expensive than some brands of gasoline cars. Car owners who have this budget to buy a car will be more inclined to buy a gasoline car with a more mature appearance and higher practicality.
Young people who demand environmentally friendly and energy-saving electric cars are often unwilling to spend one to two times their budget to buy this mini car that is more suitable for girls... So much so that even today, almost a month after it was launched on the market, the sales of this car are still dismal.
