Chapter 6 Four Commitments & First Customer

"I'm not stupid, I know very well that I need to sell at least 100 cars a month to need so many loans," looking at White's dumbfounded appearance, Chen Geng knew what this guy was thinking: "Don't worry, since we are compatriots, I won't embarrass you, so you go back and tell your manager, as compensation for you, if the loan amount I apply for every month does not reach 150,000, I don't want to ...... a penny of rebates"

White's face was red and white, and before Chen Geng finished speaking, he suddenly interrupted Chen Geng's words, gritted his teeth and said: "100,000 per month! Brother, 100,000 per month, 1.5 million per year, if you are sure to do this, I will help you fight for 25% rebates." โ€

"Huh...... No need," Chen Geng waved his hand, since White was so interesting, Chen Geng: "It's decided, 150,000 US dollars per month, 25% rebate, your bank agrees, we will sign a cooperation agreement, if not, then I will change a bank to cooperate......"

As he spoke, Chen Geng winked at White: "As far as I know, the proportion of auto credit business in all the business of your bank has not been high, and your bank has always wanted to expand this part of the business, right? As long as the heads of your bank are not stupid, they will agree." โ€

In these words, Chen Geng said with full confidence: With the current situation in the second-hand car market in the United States, if Lao Tzu can't sell 100 cars a month, he won't be laughed to death?

White walked away happily and worriedly, but he still didn't dare to say yes after all.

The 25% interest rate rebate is really not a small amount, he needs to go back and report and negotiate with the manager of the credit department, but he also clearly told Chen Geng that the problem is not big, if Chen Geng can really apply for a car loan of 150,000 yuan per month, the bank has a very high chance of agreeing to this rebate ratio - the rebate of the United Community Bank to some large car sales companies in Detroit City has reached 30%, and it is to want to remove these large customers from Mellon, Big banks like Chase have poached it, but people don't look down on small and medium-sized banks like United Community Bank at all.

White hurried away, already feeling that a good life was beckoning to him.

........................

No sooner had Mr. White left than Ms. Rachel returned, the only office executive in the firm, followed by a pickup truck with "Bettner Advertising Agency" emblazoned on it.

"Boss, the new billboard and printed materials are all ready, and they are all done according to your requirements," Seeing the boss, Rachel hurriedly stepped forward: "The people from the advertising agency will install it for us immediately, but ......" She pursed her lips hesitantly: "Boss, is this kind of publicity really okay?"

What made Rachel hesitate, and what made the people at the advertising agency who were installing billboards on the walls pout, and the huge spray paint clearly wrote a few lines of words:

Where the car purchased in the car dealership, the car dealer guarantees that there is no dark disease, failure, including the engine, gearbox and hole plate of the whole vehicle performance is good, if there is any falsehood, unconditional full refund and return of the car, and compensation of 1000 US dollars;

Anyone who buys a car in this car shop will be given a free vehicle maintenance;

If you buy a car at this car dealership, the car will provide a 6-month vehicle warranty for the vehicles sold;

For those who purchase a car at the car dealership, the car dealer will provide free (limited) maintenance services that only charge the cost of spare parts and free labor hours within 2 years;

This commitment has the force of law!

The last sentence "This promise has legal effect" is deliberately enlarged and bolded, lest others not see it.

Of course, pouting at these promises, in this era of selling second-hand cars or relying on their own vision and luck, no second-hand car dealer dares to give such a promise, the current American second-hand car market is extremely chaotic, how do second-hand car dealers buy cars? Generally is to promise that the car will not break down within a week, after this week, even if the car falls apart on the road, it is none of my business.

There is not even a one-month commitment, as for the six-month vehicle warranty for the whole vehicle...... Hehe, even new cars can only provide a six-month warranty, why can you provide such a long warranty for a used car dealership?

As for the cost of repairing cars in your car shop within two years, only the cost of spare parts will be charged, which is even more nonsense, and the manufacturing cost of auto parts is only a few dollars, and the labor cost is the biggest cost.

The employees of these advertising companies who are helping Chen Gengfei to spray advertisements are very sure in their hearts: this idiot, I don't know where to make some money and start tossing around, at most two months, this company will definitely close down, is there such a business?

Of course, Chen Geng knows what it means for the fools of those advertising companies to look at him, and he also knows what Miss Rachel means when she wants to say something, this is normal, there is nothing wrong, such employees are good employees.

Nodding to Rachel, he said: "Miss Rachel, I have inspected the dozen or so cars sold by our company, and they can be sold after replacing the parts that need to be replaced, and I will give you the new selling price in a while, and you will replace the new selling price with ......."

Before Chen Geng's words were finished, he heard someone shouting, "Hey, man, what you said above is true?"

What's going on?

Chen Geng turned his head and saw a strong man with a height of at least one meter eighty-five striding towards him, Chen Geng greeted him: "I am the boss, sir......"

The other party didn't give Chen Geng a chance to greet him at all, and pointed to the spray-painted advertising that was being installed and said to Chen Geng: "Is this true? Can it be written into the car purchase contract?"

"Of course. Chen Geng nodded without hesitation: "These can be written into our car purchase contract." โ€

"OK, I want a 1975 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, the 454 cubic inch SS version, is it in stock? The strong man was really sharp enough, and took out the checkbook on the spot and said that he wanted to place an order.

Nima!

This bastard is here to take advantage of Lao Tzu!

Hearing the request of the strong man in front of him, Chen Geng knew this guy's little abacus, as an industrial assembly line product, the price of the car in the United States is not very high, even if the strong man mentioned the 1975 Chevrolet Monte ยท The top-of-the-line SS version of the Carlo, an American full-size muscle sports car with a 7.44-liter V8 engine, is actually not expensive, and the price in 1975 was only about $15,000, and the entry-level model with a 5.4-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine was even only $8,000.

But the car is precious, the labor cost of maintaining the car is very expensive, and the price of changing the engine oil is something that a fool can do, and the price of the United States is like this: the price of engine oil is 10 US dollars, and the labor fee is 60 US dollars - do you really think that the lazy Americans love to deal with machinery so much, and they are not forced by money?

Now seeing Chen Geng's public commitment to only charge the cost of parts for maintenance within two years, the strong man feels that this is a newly opened second-hand car sales company, which must be newly opened to attract popularity, maybe there will be no such discount in a few days, so the fool will not hurry up.

"SS version of Chevrolet Monte Caro?" Chen Geng thought for a while and said apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry, our company doesn't have a ...... for this car."

"Can you transfer cars from other second-hand car dealers," interrupted Chen Geng's words: "Won't you just find me one from somewhere else?"

Chen Geng: "......"

You've said that, what else can I say?

Let Rachel help greet the guests, Chen Geng went to the office to call to find the source of the car, just like the customer said, it is too normal for second-hand car dealers to collude with each other, after all, no one dares to guarantee that they have the car that the customer wants, a car that ordinary people can afford as long as they have a job, it is not a big deal, although the SS version is relatively small, but as a car city in the United States and even the world, this is not a big deal, a phone call down, and soon there is news.

"I haven't found it in '75, but there are two '76-year-olds," Chen Geng said to Gonzalez, who was the strong man: "Both are SS versions, one is sky blue, the other is daylight orange, which color do you like?"

"It's just that daylight orange," Gonzalez, the strong man, said without thinking, "take me to see it." โ€

Chen Geng laughed: "Of course it's no problem. โ€

....................................

Gonzalez, the brawny man, was pleased with the Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS from Daylight Orange, but when it came to the price, he jumped: "$9,800? Why don't you grab it?!"

It's no wonder Gonzalez is so excited, the price of the car has risen sharply in the past two years, but even so, a 1978 model year has a huge impact on the new SS version of the Chevrolet Monte ยท The Caro is only $18,000, this car is not a rare model, just in 1973 a year sold 250,000 units, last year it seems to have sold 180,000 units, the car does not hold much value, the market price of the 75-year model of the used car is mostly between $8,000 and $8,500, this bastard dares to ask himself for $9,800, it's a black heart, of course the strong man doesn't do it.

Facing the thunderous Gonzalez, Chen Geng was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "Our price is indeed a little higher, but do others dare to give you the same promise?"

"Uh......"

Gonzalez, who was still menacing just now, was a little cowardly.

For Americans, as long as they can walk and the seats are comfortable, even if they are a good car, as for the car oil leakage, oil leakage, a little abnormal noise, etc., it is not a problem at all, industrial manufactured products, a little problem is too normal, it is very in line with the character of the Americans, but it is still that sentence, it is not that Americans do not want to clean up, nor that Americans are lazy, they are really forced by money, and they have to spend money when they clean up, and they have to spend money when they clean up.
