Dong Qiangqiang also played a trick when negotiating the price. Except for one TRB bank account related to the extension, which was indeed restricted, all other accounts were not restricted. But Dong Qiangqiang believed that the car shop owner would not doubt his statement. After all, many banks in Germany have strange requirements.
As Dong Qiangqiang expected, the car shop owner didn't think too much about it. All he cared about was the selling price.
He hopes to spend 10 months paying the 10,000-mark car payment. In that case, he only needs to find a way to catch a wild pig every month.
Although the distance from the test drive place to the car shop office was very short, Dong Qiangqiang still drove the car over.
While the owner of the car shop was chatting with others, Dong Qiangqiang took out his camera and photographed the inside of the engine compartment and some key screw locations, as well as some other points that he considered important, such as the date of manufacture on the window glass, the chassis number, and the car's name. Every part of the chassis that could be photographed was photographed as much as possible.
"Come in and sign the contract after the shooting." The owner of the car shop looked at Dong Qiangqiang busy with a blank expression, without any trace of the seller's joy on his face.
He threw a thick stack of paper to Dong Qiangqiang, who held the contract and read it carefully. He had read a second-hand car selection guide online and said he must not be anxious at this time. He must read every clause clearly. Otherwise, if he signs without reading clearly, he will have to pay for it himself if there are any problems.
Dong Qiangqiang still took out his little notebook and compared it point by point, for fear of missing something.
The car shop owner lit a cigarette impatiently and sat in his seat looking at his bill with a frown.
Dong Qiangqiang read it for more than 20 minutes and found no problems. He just breathed a sigh of relief when a line of small words jumped into his eyes: 6-month warranty.
Warranty generally refers to the warranty provided by automobile manufacturers to automobile consumers, rather than the warranty provided by automobile dealers to consumers.
In other words, it is actually useless for Dong Qiangqiang to get a 6-month warranty, because once the car breaks down during the warranty period, he will have to invest time, energy and material resources to find an American car manufacturer, which is basically equivalent to paying for it at his own expense. Repaired.
"You wrote it wrong." Dong Qiangqiang handed the contract to the car shop owner, "What we just agreed on was a 6-month warranty period, not a 6-month warranty. Please change it."
The owner of the car shop originally thought that Dong Qiangqiang was an inexperienced foreigner who wanted to play tricks on him, but Dong Qiangqiang pointed it out mercilessly to his face.
He glared at the manual in Dong Qiangqiang's hand hatefully, reluctantly changed the words and typed another one.
The most important thing when buying a second-hand car is to first check whether there are any problems with the car. If there are no problems, then discuss the price and warranty period. The last thing that remains is insurance. But insurance is not the responsibility of the car shop, so there is nothing to talk about. For a novice like Dong Qiangqiang, the first-year insurance premium is almost 3,000 marks or more. If there is no accident every year, the premium will decrease year by year. But as long as there is a major accident, the premium will immediately rise back in the following year.
There was nothing wrong with the contract, so Dong Qiangqiang signed it with a stroke of his pen.
"Here, these are for you. A contract, a car maintenance history manual, and you can read the other documents yourself. Oh, by the way, then you follow the requirements on this process sheet." The car shop owner handed over He gave Dong Qiangqiang a stack of documents and said, "When you get the license plate, come back and I'll hand over the rest of the money. By then, the painting should be almost done."
"How long will these things take?" Dong Qiangqiang had no idea at all.
"How do I know this? It depends on your own efficiency." The owner of the car shop was very unhappy that he had not earned Dong Qiangqiang's money, and his attitude was naturally not much better.
Dong Qiangqiang probably wouldn't be able to find out anything if he asked more, so he could only take a few more photos of the car, take them back home.
In the evening, he called Lao Bai to report the matter. Lao Bai was very surprised: "You spent 10,000 yuan to buy a pickup truck? What do you think?"
"I think that car can hold things quite well. It will be very convenient if I move or work in the future."
"You won't be able to pick up small tour groups after you drive a pickup truck." Lao Bai complained, "Who wants to be the driver of a pickup truck? You should buy a car."
Dong Qiangqiang didn't say anything about having a pickup truck so he could go out to catch pigs, so he could only use other topics to confuse the matter. Lao Bai guessed what he was thinking but didn't reveal it.
Everywhere was closed on Sunday, so Dong Qiangqiang stayed at home and read the car purchase contract several times, then checked the car insurance agency and application process online, and went to the car license issuing office to reserve a license plate.
Dong's father has not called even a single call in the past few days. Dong Qiangqiang has given up hope of taking the preparatory exam and enrolling in school in September. The top priority is to get his license plate as soon as possible.
Since both Duanmu and Lao Bai were not in Hanover, Dong Qiangqiang had no choice but to find anyone to chat with. After researching for a long time where there were forests around Hanover, I took the bait and ran to Fleisher's stocking forest.
All day on Monday, Dong Qiangqiang was busy applying for car insurance and booking license plates. These things were not complicated but extremely time-consuming. By the time Dong Qiangqiang walked out of the car license application office, the other party had also left work.
Dong Qiangqiang dreamed that he drove a pickup truck into a forest. When he was looking for a way out, he accidentally discovered wild boars all over the mountains and fields. Just when he was counting how much money he had, his dream came to an abrupt end.
Dong Qiangqiang looked at his watch. It was only half past five in the morning and it was still dark. He was about to catch up on his sleep when he heard the phone on the table buzzing and vibrating.
Who's calling right now? Dong Qiangqiang picked up the phone with full of questions, but suddenly saw his father's mobile phone number flashing on the screen.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"AP called me early in the morning. They have reviewed your materials and asked me for your address in Germany. They want to send you a certificate." Father Dong spoke as fast as a machine gun.
Dong Qiangqiang woke up in an instant and blurted out: "Don't send it!"
"I thought so too." Father Dong said solemnly, "So I didn't ask them to send it, but went to the review department to pick it up myself."
"Can you scan the certificate and send it to my email first? I will go to the admissions office of Han University at dawn."
"I've sent the scanned copy to your email."
Dong Qiangqiang clicked the mouse twice, and sure enough, the scanned copy of the certificate was already in the mailbox. "Yes, received."
"Just get it." Dong Fu said calmly, "You go to the university in the morning and go to Frankfurt Airport immediately after asking questions."
"Going to the airport?" Dong Qiangqiang's mind didn't turn around for a moment, "What are you doing?"
"I asked just now. The nearest direct flight from Beijing to Germany leaves for Frankfurt at 13:30 noon." Father Dong said, "I will send you the original document. Let's meet at the airport."
Whether it was the coolness of the summer night or the sudden news of good news, Dong Qiangqiang felt that the hairs on his body were standing on end.
"If there are no accidents, I should arrive in Frankfurt around 5:30 this afternoon German time. I am already on my way to the airport. You should still have my flight number in your email. If you don't receive it, I will send it to you again. .”
As soon as Father Dong's voice fell, the mailbox prompted Dong Qiangqiang to receive another letter.
Putting down the phone, Dong Qiangqiang slowly opened the window and vaguely saw the skyline in the distance gradually starting to layer into blue and white, and the roar of car motors began to sound sporadically on the street.
He was not sleepy at all. He only felt warm in his heart and sore in his nose. Countless words came to his throat, but nothing could be said.
