The United States is known as a country on wheels, and cars are an indispensable part of urban construction, so it can be said that buying a car is not an uncommon thing in the United States at all; At the same time, the competition between car dealers is also very 'fierce', when Hugo and Joseph walked into the car dealership, you can see five people actively walking towards them, two of them are relatively close to each other, there is even a little physical friction, but in order to maintain a good image in front of customers, there is no further conflict.

Hugo saw the rare excitement in front of him, and a suppressed smile on the corner of his mouth tilted his head slightly towards Joseph, "This is the car dealership you are familiar with?" After getting into the car just now, Joseph didn't ask at all, and galloped all the way towards this car dealership, which alone shows Joseph's enthusiasm for buying a car. Even if you buy not a sports car, but a van.

The corners of Joseph's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and instead of responding to Hugo's ridicule, he said to the car dealer who was the first to walk in front of him, "I'm here to find Alfonso." When these words were spoken, it was clear that the steps of the five people under their feet were all a pause, and two of them simply turned around and went in different directions, and the other two paused for a moment, and then quickly stepped up to meet them, their cheeks full of surprise.

The man who had rushed to the front stood in disappointment and shouted, "Alfonso, someone is looking for you." But then he saw two other men come up to him, one after the other, and said, "Hugo!" The whole person standing at the front was stunned, and immediately reacted, and blurted out, "Hugo?

Now the chances of Hugo being recognized on the street have risen again, especially when "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" is being released, people will always greet him warmly and express their love for Hugo. This was the case at the Motorola branch just now, and now it's the same at the car dealership.

Hugo greeted the three car dealers in front of him with a smile, shook hands, hugged them, and made small talk about Demi Moore, before being interrupted by a stout man about Joseph's age. Joseph had a big smile on his face, and directly gave the man in front of him a hug, and the two of them also beat each other's backs hard, expressing each other's happiness in this violent way.

The man who had just walked over was about the same height and size as Joseph, with fluffy curly hair, a thick beard but full of a strong Spanish atmosphere, and those talking eyes with infinite style. Joseph smiled at Hugo and introduced, "Alfonso Lopez (afons0. Lopez), I grew up playing with friends to grow up. ”

"You can call me Alfonso." Alfonso had a warm smile on his face and gave Hugo a big smile.

Hugo, however, looked at Joseph and said with a smile, "I'm not sure, Joseph?"

But before Joseph could reply, Alfonso said, "Joe, you can call him Joe, or Joey." Alfonso patted Joseph on the shoulder, smiling with a hint of urgency. It can be seen that Alfonso and Joseph's personalities are completely different, compared to Joseph's slightly cautious personality, the enthusiastic Alfonso has just brought a friendly message when they meet.

Hugo glanced at Joseph, who was standing next to him with a slightly restrained and embarrassed look, although he had known Joseph for nearly a year, and the relationship between the two people also changed from nervous to relaxed, then to familiar, and then became good friends, but the two still could not be regarded as 'making' friends, on the one hand, because of Joseph's 'sex', and on the other hand, Hugo had just crossed over and seemed cautious.

"You're Spanish?" Hugo smiled and didn't answer Alfonso's words

Alfonso nodded, "Hispanic." ”

"And how did you meet?" Hugo never found any Spanish qualities in Joseph, but Joseph's hometown of Houston has many Hispanic and Mexican residents.

"Don't you know that Joe is half Spanish?" Alfonso pointed to Joseph, "We've known each other since we were kids, and we live on the next street. You can ask me anything about him, and I will never keep it a secret. Hugo didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but when he looked at Joseph, he did see a hint of Spanish style, especially the ice blue eyes, which were extraordinarily deep.

Joseph knew that if he allowed Alfonso to talk any longer, he was afraid that everything would be exposed. That's why Alfonso was able to become a dealership, so he quickly said, "We want to buy a multi-purpose RV, what's the introduction?"

"Oh yes, buy a car." Alfonso reacted at this time, Joseph brought Hugo to the car dealership, obviously not to introduce a friend, "Do you have a more optimistic model?"

Joseph glanced at Hugo, and after receiving a negative reply, "No, you can introduce it." ”

Alfonso nodded, walked ahead and led the way, turning back and asking, "Do you have any plans for the price range?" Then he pointed to a row of vans not far away, "Now the demand for vans has been rising, in fact, the price difference is not too big, fifteen to thirty can buy a very good car." ”

Fifteen to thirty, that's between fifteen thousand and thirty thousand dollars. If you buy a car in China, the price will rise by at least 20 percent, or even double; But abroad, especially in the United States, the price is much more affordable.

"You can recommend a few to us." Joseph didn't say much, and it was clear that he trusted Alfonso.

Alfonso was not a hesitant individual, but he readily introduced three or four models to Joseph, one of which was the Renault Space series (RE. espace) makes Hugo very satisfied, the front-engine front-wheel drive and monocoque body, the 'operation' is not easy to flick out of control, the stability is better, the space arrangement is more flexible, the field of vision is also wide enough, and there are many special 'color' functions, which is also the best selling model in Europe at present.

"Don't you want to take it for a test drive?" After Joseph returned from two test drives, Alfonso sat in the passenger seat and turned to Hugo, who was sitting in the second row, to ask

Hugo was still lamenting the comfort and comfort of this multi-purpose RV, but when he heard Alfonso's words, he was stunned, "Uh, no, I don't want to." But after saying that, he didn't think it was appropriate, so he continued, "I don't think it's necessary, if I drive this car out, the main thing is to work, and the person who drives it won't be me."

Joseph sat in the driver's seat but suddenly remembered an important point, "Hugo, have you not driven a car since the car accident......"

Hugo muttered hesitantly, and then Joseph and Alfonso realized that there seemed to be no need for the question to continue, so there was a moment of silence in the carriage.

Hugo's predecessor had a car accident last year, his left 'leg' knee was injured, and since then he has a psychological disorder, and several attempts to sit in the driver's seat cannot overcome the demons, and his left knee will continue to 'twitch' pain, so he can only give up. And Hugo himself, he also had a car accident before the crossing, although the car accident did not cause too strict injuries, but it was hung on the edge of the cliff, trembling as if he would fall down at any time, after that, Hugo felt very nervous every time he drove, and his hands were sweating very strictly, and over time, he stopped driving.

Joseph glanced at Hugo in the rearview mirror, and saw that Hugo's eyes were drifting in a panic, and he knew that his guess was correct, and Hugo was still under psychological pressure about the car accident, so he never had a way to sit in the driver's seat again. This made Joseph exhale lightly, and the excitement of planning to buy a new car also diminished a lot.

Alfonso, as a 'colorful' car dealership, naturally has a good ability to observe words and 'colors', he took his eyes back from the rearview mirror and asked briskly, "Joe, are you going home for Christmas?"

"No, I don't want to go back this year." Joseph shook his head, then looked deeply at Alfonso, as if conveying something.

Alfonso and Joseph grew up together, so naturally they knew each other very well, and he understood it at once: it seemed that the matter of Thanksgiving had not been resolved, and although Joseph had not talked to him, the family knew all too well about these situations. Alfonso pretended to be light-hearted and said, "I'm going to go back, do you need me to bring something back for you?"

"You give him his mobile phone number to the family." Hugo had come to his senses, after all, he was not in the driver's seat, and the fear of the memory was not deep, he also said in a relaxed tone.

Sure enough, with Hugo's 'interjection', the atmosphere became lively, and Alfonso said in surprise, "You bought that brick?"

"It's not a brick anymore, it's less than six ounces." Hugo discussed with Alfonso with great interest, while Joseph continued the test drive intently, driving the car back in the direction of the dealership.

After arriving at the car dealership, Hugo decided to buy this car, 31,995 US dollars, much cheaper than expected, and Hugo also felt more and more the positive 'sex' of the actor's profession, two months ago he was still a shy unemployed vagrant, but the success of the two movies "Smell the Fragrance of the 'Woman'" and "The Heroic Wind of the Righteous Sea" has made Hugo's life change dramatically, if Hugo is willing, in fact, he has no problem buying a house now - of course, not a mansion and villa.

After Hugo signed a lot of contracts, Joseph was talking to Alfonso about insurance, Hugo didn't know anything about it, so he walked outside the 'door' of the car dealership, and watched the "colorful" and colorful vehicles in the parking lot lined up, and the morning sun was "shooting" hotly, making the cold winter become warm.

Looking along the right hand side of the avenue, I saw a group of people standing in front of a graffiti wall, they were all dressed very casually, some were simple, some were flashy, some were ostentatious, but they had one thing in common, that is, the instruments in their hands, Hugo could see that there were four guitars, two basses and two drum kits, all of which were placed in place, and they were just standing there chatting, their faces were still 'showing' with excitement, and they seemed to be waiting for someone.
