In the 1980s, there were many foreign brands for pickup trucks in the domestic market. However, since ZTE developed and manufactured China's first pickup truck with independent intellectual property rights in 1986, the sedan market has been dominated by foreign brands, while the domestic pickup truck market has been unique. Therefore, the pickup trucks seen on the market now are basically made in China, and foreign brands are rarely seen.
There are two main brands of pickup trucks that Sun Changfeng bought here, one is ZTE Tiger and the other is Great Wall Deere. Compared with the white Zhongxing Tiger, the dark green Great Wall Deere looks more comfortable.
"How to sell this?" Yang Dongxu didn't hide anything, pointed directly at Great Wall Dier and asked.
Dad Yang also feels that the color of Great Wall Deere is very good, at least it is very resistant to dirt. If you get a white one and go back to run on the dirt road occasionally, the body will definitely not look good.
"If you buy a model that was just launched last year, it will cost 150,000 yuan, including tax and brand." Sun Changfeng also said very cheerfully.
"Can you open it?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"No problem, who of you will drive?" Sun Changfeng nodded.
"My dad will drive from now on, let him do it." Yang Dongxu looked at his dad with a smile and said.
"Will this work?" Dad Yang rubbed his hands nervously. Although he was very excited about buying a car, he was still a little nervous when he actually got into the car and started driving.
"If there's anything you can't do, just remember not to be nervous. I'll sit in the passenger seat and accompany you." Li Jiwen said.
Father Yang instantly gained confidence with the coach accompanying him. Younger sister Dandan also wanted to get in the car and experience the wonders. Her uncle had already sat in the car, so Yang Dongxu didn't get in to join in the fun. Sun Changfeng asked a clerk to get in the car to accompany him, and he immediately pointed out the road for the test drive. He stayed and chatted with Yang Dongxu and his little grandfather.
"Didn't you say that you specialize in pickup trucks? Why do I see that more than half of them are sedans?" Yang Dongxu asked looking at the cars parked outside the store.
"It's not because of the policy." Sun Changfeng said helplessly.
It turns out that pickup trucks were indeed very popular when they first emerged, and there were often queues all night long at the gate of the Changxing production plant. At that time, the state encouraged the development of automobile companies and had no restrictions on pickup trucks. The pickup truck has the comfort of a car and the ability of a truck to haul goods. It can also face a variety of road conditions. Its performance as both a car and a truck has quickly made it the darling of the automobile market.
In the late 1980s, when 'Forever', 'Phoenix' and 'Flying Pigeon' bicycles were everywhere, the red flag cars that occasionally passed by were filled with officials. In those days, owning a pickup truck was definitely boss-level. But after the 1990s, pickup trucks became popular in the automobile market and became an outcast in the automobile market.
Especially last year, in 1994, after the new "Automotive Industry Industrial Policy" was released, pickup trucks were not included in the support policies. Not only were they not included in the list of policies that would not support them, but pickup trucks were also classified as trucks, and many cities faced comprehensive restrictions on pickup trucks.
Under the influence of various unfavorable factors, pickup trucks are gradually recognized as not being of high quality, and are even considered by many people as 'farmer trucks' and 'tool trucks', which cannot be considered elegant. As a result, Chinese pickup trucks have no choice but to become pragmatic. Pulling goods has become the only requirement for purchasing pickup trucks, and load capacity has also become an important criterion for purchasing pickup trucks. Pickup trucks have gradually become a niche vehicle and been marginalized.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't buy it?" Yang Dongxu said half-jokingly.
"You can buy a car instead of a pickup truck, but I still think pickup trucks are more practical. After all, the so-called traffic restrictions are in big cities. If Chengwang City wants to restrict the traffic of pickup trucks, don't even think about it after ten years. "Sun Changfeng smiled heartily, but there was a bit of depression in his laughter.
To be honest, Sun Changfeng, who retired from the army, really likes pickup trucks. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to sea and bought a pickup truck not long after I was assigned the job after retiring. It’s just that the current policy is difficult for pickup trucks. So while selling pickup trucks, he could only start a car business as well.
"The pickup trucks below us are indeed better." Yang Dongxu nodded.
He wasn't worried about traffic restrictions from the beginning. Chengwang City could barely be considered a third-tier city, and it was still at the bottom of the bottom. Even after the Beijing-Kowloon Line is expected to open to traffic in the second half of next year, this place has become an important transportation hub.
However, the economy has developed and its comprehensive competitiveness has also improved. However, until his rebirth in later generations, Chengwang City will still be only a third-tier city, far away from being a second-tier city.
In such a third-tier city, not to mention pickup trucks, even tractors are still running around the city. How is it possible that pickup trucks will be restricted in Chengwang City?
After drinking tea in the store for less than twenty minutes, Yang's father got out of the car with an excited look on his face. On the way, coach Li Jiwen taught me the basic differences between new cars and old cars, as well as how to maintain new cars, which was very useful to Dad Yang.
"Xu Zi, when will it be ready?" Uncle Shengli asked impatiently after entering the store.
In fact, he was not asking when the procedures would be completed, but when he could drive the big truck for a walk. Father Yang's pickup truck just made him hungry. But the pickup truck had just come back from a test drive, so he couldn't just drive it out for a spin. So now he is anxious to drive a big truck.
"You go to the back and drive the car out. I'll go through the formalities." Seeing that his father had no objection to the pickup truck, Yang Dongxu stood up with his bag.
The little grandpa didn’t get in the car just now, but now he is sitting in the pickup truck listening to Dad Yang’s introduction, with Coach Li accompanying him. Dandan just sat in the car without getting out. The uncle hurriedly drove his truck, so only Yang Dongxu followed Sun Changfeng to go through the formalities.
In fact, there are no formalities. It's just a contract for two cars, sign it, pay the money, and then go to the traffic police team to choose a license plate. Or they could simply wait in the car shop, and Sun Changfeng would find two good license plates and send them over, without even having to go to the traffic police station to go to the door.
"You..." In Sun Changfeng's office, he watched Yang Dongxu take out money from his handbag in piles. Even Sun Changfeng, who had seen a lot of the world, couldn't help but the corners of his eyes twitching.
It's not that he has never seen money, his car shop is worth at least several million dollars. But it was the first time he saw 600,000 in cash. Especially when such a large amount of cash was just carried around in the handbag for several times.
"Click a little money to see if the money is correct, and then check to see if it is fake. If there is any problem, I will not admit it." Yang Chu counted 200,000 of the 600,000 in cash, and put the remaining 400,000 directly in the In front of Sun Changfeng.
