The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 29 Buying a Car or a House
  When they arrived at Laiyang's home, it was rare that his father Wei Jianguo was also there. Wei Yuan first asked about the progress of the coal mining equipment and aircraft production lines in the past few days.

I learned that the coal mining equipment is progressing smoothly and can be delivered within half a month, but the aircraft engine problem is relatively big. Even the old engines from decades ago are not something that small factories like them can solve. They are currently communicating with some large state-owned factories. , hoping to directly introduce an engine production line from the other party. It is expected that the entire aircraft production line can be delivered to Weiyuan within one month.

Looking at his family of three still living in a family building built in the 90s, he had never thought that after experiencing the accommodation environment of the Shanghai Hilton Hotel this time, Wei Yuan also began to consider improving the living environment of his own home. After all, he was old. Mom and dad are not young anymore, and it’s time to enjoy themselves.

After searching around on the Internet, I found that the average house price in Laiyang was just over 10,000 yuan, and a villa was only between 3 and 5 million, so I decided to consider the villa directly.

After searching online for a long time, I finally found a large single-family villa with an area of ​​more than 600 square meters in Junlan Mansion. This is only the indoor area. If you include the outdoor garden area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, the listing price is 1285 million. I have to put it aside before , Wei Yuan didn't even dare to dream about it, let alone view the house and negotiate the price.

But now, he planned to be extravagant. Wei Yuan directly opened the agent's phone number below the listing price and dialed, requesting to see the house tomorrow. The two parties agreed to meet at nine o'clock the next day.

After breakfast the next day, Wei Yuan drove the factory's Great Wall pickup truck and met his agent at the entrance of Junlan Mansion.

When Wei Yuan got out of the dilapidated pickup truck, the real estate agent thought that he had been dazzled. It was the first time in so many years that he had seen someone driving a dilapidated Great Wall pickup truck to buy a villa. The key was... It is not an ordinary townhouse, but a very large single-family villa with a total construction area of ​​more than 1000 square meters.

Well, regardless of these, maybe it is a hobby of rich people. Yesterday, I had communicated with the buyer on the phone about the approximate base price of the villa. Since the other party still came to see the house, it meant that he was confident that he could afford it.

As soon as the agent took Wei Yuan through the entrance gate of the villa, Wei Yuan was shocked, Damn! This living room is too big! It’s big enough for a basketball court. The cleanly polished light gray marble floor tiles are as bright as a mirror, clearly reflecting the crystal chandelier on the ceiling. There is a complete set of European leather sofas, solid wood furniture, and various household appliances and furniture. Everything is available. The house and interior decoration look new. It turns out that the owner of the house has not lived here for a long time. The villa and the basement have a total of three floors, including a wine cellar, a private cinema, a conference room, and a gym. Everything looks perfect. It has a luxurious and high-end feel.

According to the agent, the owner of the house is engaged in international trade and immigrated to the United States not long ago. The decoration of this villa was just completed last year, and the ventilation time is just right now.

Only 5 large single-family villas like this have been built in the entire Junlan Mansion. The main reason is that Laiyang, a third-tier city, has limited consumption capacity and cannot sell them. If Weiyuan buys it, in addition to the 2 parking spaces in the villa garage, the villa There are 3 additional parking spaces available outside the door.

Wei Yuan didn't intend to waste time. Since he was already interested in it, he just went for it.

“How much is the minimum price for this house?”

"The lowest price is 98% off," the agent said. "The certificate has been completed for five years."

"Okay, I want it." Rich people feel differently. Wei Yuan felt that he had gained a lot of confidence since the 30 antiques were included in the appraisal.

The agent was overjoyed. The relationship was so refreshing. He could get at least 5 yuan in commission from this order. He had never seen a large amount of agency fees come so easily. The client immediately fell in love with it at first sight and asked I just bought it without considering the final price. Could it be that I met the legendary coal boss today? The agent immediately became excited and quickly helped Wei Yuan contact the owner and agreed to sign the contract in the afternoon.

After leaving Junlan Mansion, I saw my Great Wall pickup truck parked in front of the door. I was worth several billion now, so it was not a big deal to drive this shabby pickup truck all the time. Although I didn't care about the car brand, At least the driving experience of a luxury car will be better.

Sitting in the driver's seat of a Great Wall pickup truck, he did not leave in a hurry, but started searching on the Internet: What kind of cars do big guys usually drive?

The answers are varied, and they can say anything.

Some say Mercedes-Benz S-Class, some say Rolls-Royce, and some say Bentley.

After looking around and reading various car reviews, Weiyuan finally decided to buy a Bentley Mulsanne, a Jeep Wrangler, and a Volvo S90.

Bentley is the standard equipment for rich people, and you can drive it when you encounter some business activities or need to install X. Wrangler is because you like its unique shape, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people, and it also has good performance in off-road.

The Volvo S90 was prepared for my father. After all, after he moved later, he still had a commuting distance of more than ten kilometers from his factory. It would be inhumane if the old guard was allowed to ride a -inch bumper to get off work again, and Volvo also In line with his father's low-key and pragmatic style, there is no need to talk about car safety issues.

Wei Yuan checked at "Auto Home" and found out that Volvo and Wrangler were okay. There were 4S sales stores in Laiyang, and you could just go directly to the store to pick up the car. However, Bentley's new car is only sold in stores in Quancheng.

Finally, he contacted the Bentley Quancheng showroom 4S store on the "Auto Home" APP, asked the salesperson to add his WeChat account, and sent the Bentley Mulsanne options and quotations. After some communication, Weiyuan paid 5% online. After paying a deposit for the car, the current car will not arrive until 2 weeks later. The other staff also said that if it is not convenient for him to come to Quancheng to pick up the car, the Bentley 4S store can arrange a trailer to be transported to the city where Weiyuan is located, and even the license plate can be used One-stop service, but if there is a requirement for the license plate number, the 4S shop needs to charge a certain service fee. Weiyuan had to sigh that it feels really good to have money. He finally understands what is said on the Internet. If you have money, at least I can help you. Solve 99% of your worries. If you can't solve the remaining 1%, it means you don't have enough money.

The next day, Wei Yuan got up early in the morning, ran a few laps in his small garden downstairs, then went upstairs to take a shower, and took a taxi to the 4S sales store in the city center. Fortunately, Laiyang itself is not a big 4S city. Most of the stores were concentrated on one street. I bought a luxury five-seater black Volvo S90 with a price of 48.3 yuan, and spent another 58.8 yuan to buy a new fully equipped version of the Wrangler. Wei Yuan didn't bother and just paid for it again. For an extra fee, he asked the store staff to help him find someone to apply for the license plate. Then he and the Volvo 4S store staff drove two new cars with temporary license plates back to his home community.

Many residents in the community were old employees of Weiyuan's factory before retiring. Many people were sitting in the shade of the trees downstairs chatting. When they saw two new cars parked side by side downstairs in the community, they all cast curious glances. , and when they saw Wei Yuan getting out of the car, they all gathered around him.

Uncle Liu pointed to one of the driveways: "Xiao Yuan, did you buy both of these cars? You guys bought two of them at once. This car doesn't look cheap, I guess it costs at least more than 20 yuan!"

Uncle Zhao on the side answered: "More than 20? This is a Volvo, a Nordic luxury car. It costs four to five million no matter what. Xiaoyuan is really rich. This Volvo was bought for your father Wei Jianguo." Right!"

Wei Yuan offered cigarettes to everyone and nodded in agreement with a smile. The movement downstairs also alerted Wei Yuan's mother, Zhang Xiuqin, who was cooking upstairs. At this moment, she also hurried downstairs with a rolling pin and saw her son silently. I immediately bought two cars and came back, and I heard from my neighbor that one of them cost four to five million yuan, and I suddenly felt very angry.

As a mother, she also has a rough idea of ​​the situation in her own factory. Two months ago, the wages of the workers were almost gone, so she was ready to use her pension money to pay for it. Fortunately, she has received several big orders recently. , only then could he continue to operate. Unexpectedly, as soon as he made some money, this kid spent hundreds of thousands to buy a car, and even bought two cars at once. Although one was bought for his father as a filial piety, but the factory The pickup truck that Li usually uses to pull goods, although it is a bit old, it is not undriveable.

Seeing the neighbors all around, Zhang Xiuqin suppressed her anger and motioned Wei Yuan to go upstairs with her eyes. Seeing her mother's angry look, Wei Yuan probably knew what was going on, so he said goodbye to the neighbors with a smile and turned around. Went upstairs. As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa, looking like she was in trouble. Wei Yuan quickly explained with a smile: "I know you are afraid that I will spend money recklessly. The car has been pulling goods in the factory before. This time Don’t you think buying a car will be more convenient for your family? Besides, the weather will get colder in a while. Comrade Lao Wei, are you willing to ride his bicycle to and from get off work again?”

Seeing his son's explanation, Zhang Xiuqin said: "Then just buy one that is enough to drive by yourself. Your dad usually rides a bicycle to and from get off work. Why did you buy so many?"

Wei Yuan told his mother about the villa he bought in Junlan Mansion again, and before she got angry again, he hurriedly said: "Don't be excited, guess how much money I earned from these businesses in the factory ?”

Seeing his son's proud look, Zhang Xiuqin asked in an uncertain tone: "How many millions?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and made a two-digit gesture to his mother.

"Twenty million?"

God, even if my wife has been struggling for decades, she may not be able to earn so much money. This guy earned 2 million from just a few orders.

With this kind of luck, the ancestral graves of the Lao Wei family might be covered in smoke.

"Really?"

"Really!" Wei Yuan assured.

Zhang Xiuqin then slowed down and said: "Your dad and I live here very well. There are many old neighbors who have lived nearby for decades. It is also busy on weekdays and it is convenient to buy groceries and so on. You want to make us We are not used to going to your big villa, but you are already in your twenties, and now you don’t even have a partner. If you give me a fat grandson, let alone live there. Villa, I am willing to close my eyes now."

"bah bah bah"

Wei Yuan hurriedly stopped his mother from saying something unlucky and comforted him: "You have been busy with business in the factory recently. Don't worry, I will find you a beautiful daughter-in-law for at least two years, and give you another baby." Pile of big fat grandsons.”

Wei Yuan's trick made her mother smile again, but Zhang Xiuqin said she would discuss the details of whether to move there after Wei Yuan's father got off work.

After talking about the matter, Wei Yuan said to his mother again: "I went out in the morning and didn't have time to have breakfast. I will be hungry by now. You are making dumplings! I have been craving for the dumplings you made. Hurry up and make them." I’ll cook a bowl first.”

When Zhang Xiuqin saw that her son said he hadn't had breakfast yet, he put down his nagging, slapped Wei Yuan on the shoulder and blamed him for spending money, and then went to the kitchen to cook dumplings for him.

Wei Yuan was sitting on the sofa, playing with his phone and waiting for the dumplings cooked by his mother. Suddenly, there was a ding-dong sound, and a new message prompt popped up on WeChat. When he clicked on it, he found that it was the girl named Yunqiu who was added yesterday.

"Are you going to Shanghai on a business trip? With a naughty expression."

Wei Yuan found that this girl liked to use this expression very much. When meeting strangers, her demeanor and cold temperament did not match at all. He typed a reply: "It's not a business trip. I have some business to discuss there. .”

At this time, the dumplings cooked by his mother were ready. Wei Yuan was eating the dumplings while chatting with her.

When the dumplings were finished, Wei Yuan replied: "Sorry, I have some things to do in the factory this afternoon. Let's chat later when we have time."

Without waiting for a reply, he put his phone in his pocket, said hello to his mother, told her that he was going to the factory in the afternoon, and went downstairs with the keys to his newly purchased Wrangler.

Although in theory he already has a net worth of several billion, he has been a member of the ordinary class for a long time and does not think that a girl who just met him once and looks like she walked out of a painting will fall in love with him. This is something he knows well. Yuan Zi thinks there are still some.

But what he didn't know was that he was starting to show off the temperament of a successful man in every move he made, and after training during this period, he had a figure that was comparable to that of a fitness instructor. In addition, he had recently become whiter and had a handsome appearance. How would he look at a person? How attractive are single, unmarried girls.

In a luxurious villa far away in Yangcheng, Zhu Yunqiu, dressed in silk pajamas, saw the message from Wei Yuan, blinked her long eyelashes, and replied: "Okay, you are busy first, and we will chat when you have time. "

"in the factory"

"Does he run a factory? Or work in a factory?"

As he was thinking in his head, his fingers naturally clicked on Wei Yuan's WeChat Moments, only to find that there were no other updates except for a graduation photo taken in a university dormitory a few years ago. In the photo, Wei Yuan smiled brightly. The whole person was filled with youthful vigor, and he was making a scissors gesture to the camera stupidly.

Seeing his bright smile, the girl who was lying on the bed with a cold face unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth. Under the sunlight outside the window, her whole body was like a bright pearl. She must be the white moonlight of many people while studying. .
