"A Fork Five, the top model costs over one million, and the low model costs hundreds of thousands. I don't understand why these people have so much money and buy hundreds of thousands of cars without blinking an eye."

"Look at my parents. They managed to save two houses in their lifetime. Although the total amount is more than one million, it is only money on paper, not cash, and it is impossible to sell it for money."

Sun Mingxin said frankly: "To be honest, I was really excited at that time. We are all human beings, so why can people just spend tens or millions to buy a car? Look at me, I also like cars.

And I am a car repairman, so I am better than many people in this area. But I have calculated that if I want to buy a BMW Forklift of the same model, I would have to go without food or drink for many years to do it."

"I still need to get married and find a wife. This is another huge expense."

"This world is so unfair! Why do those people have more money than me? I have to find a way to surpass them."

"Because I have been working in a car dealership, I am very familiar with cars. Especially some of the operating methods of the Fourth Son Shop have no technical content at all in my opinion. For example, changing parts, changing engine oil, etc. are the most common.

of."

Speaking of this, Sun Mingxin suddenly came to talk. He said mysteriously: "Let me reveal a secret to you, let's talk about the car lights. Send your car to the Fourth Son Shop for maintenance, and you will often encounter car light failures. For example, your car

When your car is sent for maintenance, the store will sometimes tell you that a certain light is broken and will not light up. When you go over and take a look, it turns out that it does not work. At this time, you must change the light to solve the problem! They have enough reasons.

Let you pay."

Xing Le understood what he meant and asked puzzledly: "How dare they do this for such good car lights? How brave they are!"

Sun Mingxin said: "As the old saying goes: the brave will be starved to death, and the timid will be starved to death. But this kind of thing depends on the person. Generally speaking, those who come to the store for maintenance are old customers, and the reception side is more or less a little bit different.

Familiar. If you meet someone with a carefree personality, then dare to fix it. Not to mention the car lights, other parts can also fool you.

You changed it together. But if you encounter someone who is very smart and cares about everything, no one dares to do it. Because some car owners have learned this idea, and many people know that there is something fishy about the Fourth Son Shop, so they send their cars for maintenance.

I will prepare videos in advance, so if I get caught somehow, I will have evidence in hand."

"At that time, I was only thinking about making money. Later, someone in the circle told me that I could start by replacing old cars with new ones."

"I listened to them and registered an account on Nut.com, and then browsed the web every day, mainly focusing on the used car sales area."

Hu Pingtao didn't speak for a long time, but then he interrupted: "Did you buy Jiao Gang's BYD?"

Anyway, at this time, Sun Mingxin had no intention of hiding anything. He nodded: "Replacing old cars with new ones is the manufacturer's policy, but there are many rules and regulations. So the focus on second-hand cars in the circle does not mean that they want to take the road of trading in old cars. In fact,

On the Internet, maintenance personnel from many car dealerships will contact car owners privately to buy and sell used cars.”

"Let me tell you a true story that I have experienced! There used to be a car owner who drove a Sail. The old Sail was the one that Buick later changed to a gold bow tie. The car was bought a long time ago, maybe in 2006 or so.

It's 2007, but the car is well maintained, even though more than ten years have passed

, it still looked 70% new on the outside, and there was nothing wrong with the engine. The owner of the car once came to our shop for maintenance, and he asked if he could trade it in for a new one. The boss was not around at the time, and we couldn't talk to him. After the maintenance was done, he drove the car.

He left and came again the next day.”

"He knew our boss, so he went to him directly and asked if he would accept the used cars?"

“Our boss said we’ll take it!”

"He asked what price he could give for the old Sail?"

"Our boss thought for a while and replied: We will handle all the procedures for purchasing the entire vehicle and give him three thousand."

"The car owner nodded and agreed and signed the contract."

"Later I found out that the car owner went to a car supermarket and asked if he could trade in his old car or sell it directly. The other party sent a so-called appraiser to come out and look around before giving him a thousand dollars.

Yuan.”

"Think about it, it's a serious family car! Even if it's an old Sail, it only costs 1,000 yuan. Can the owner of the car be okay with that? And what's more, where is the car dealership?

It's really bullying, saying that only they can get this price. If it were elsewhere, it would probably be only seven or eight hundred."

"One side is three thousand, the other is one thousand, is the difference in the middle just two thousand yuan? It's really too dark."

"I thought at the time that the price difference between this car was so high, and the time before and after it would only take a few hours at most. The key is that there is no cost. I come into contact with many people every day in the auto repair shop, and more than half of them are interested in second-hand cars.

Demand. Let’s talk about that old Sail! Although it needs to be inspected every year, as long as it is driven to the prefecture and the towns below, there is no need to worry about selling it. "

"I was more cautious that day, and at the same time with an attitude of learning, I took a photo of the old Sail and sent it to a friend from other places. After reading it, he replied, saying that as long as the certificates and licenses are complete, the other thing is that it must have the certificate from that year.

For the inspection mark from the vehicle management office, he bid 6,000, and the money will be paid upon delivery."

"In other words, as long as I can buy that car and drive it to other places, I will definitely make a profit of several thousand yuan."

Xing Le found it difficult to understand: "Why?"

Sun Mingxin explained: "I couldn't understand the reason at first. Later, my friend told me: different groups of people have different needs. Let's take this old Sail as an example. In the past few years, new cars could sell for RMB 60,000 to RMB 70,000.

Now, the car is old, but many people in the countryside still buy it! They buy the car just for transportation, and mainly for hauling goods. Of course, the van sells very well in the countryside, and people just put all the seats in the back

Remove it and turn the passenger car into a truck.”

"The same goes for Sail, and in the eyes of those people, it is more practical than vans such as Changan and Changhe. First of all, it has a high-end brand, secondly, the engine is powerful, and in addition, it is more convenient to operate than a van. If you usually drive it out for fun,

If there is a need for freight transportation, I simply dismantle the trunk and modify it for cargo transportation, and there is basically no visible change in appearance."

"The most important thing is that this kind of second-hand car is cheap."

"If you think about it, even a Changan or Changhe van costs tens of thousands for a new car. But a second-hand car like this in good condition can be purchased for only a few thousand yuan. For those people, it is really affordable.

"

"This is a very good business opportunity and you can really make a lot of money."

Xing Le stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head, and asked puzzledly: "Is there really such a high profit for second-hand cars?"

"Yes." Sun Mingxin said seriously: "At first, like you, I thought this was not very credible. Later, our boss expanded his business and set up a point in Wenhai County. In fact, he repaired cars and sold them together.

The kind of car. At that time, I didn’t have so many thoughts in my mind. I just wanted to learn more things, so I stayed there for half a year.”

"Only when I got there did I realize that the second-hand car business is really possible! In just one week, our boss sold hundreds of cars. I did the math, and on average the profit per car was at least

There are also 1,500, which adds up to 150,000!"

"It was an eye-opener for me. I never dreamed that second-hand cars could be so profitable. Again, people in prefectures and counties who buy second-hand cars are doing it to save money and save trouble. But then again, I

The boss went to Wenhai County to open a repair shop branch because he saw this business opportunity. In his words: These people have no money on hand, but the car is important to them.

Just needed. Places like Dian Province are no better than the northern plains. There are more mountains and less land. Farm tools such as tractors are not easy to sell. In addition, in recent years, prefectures, prefectures and counties have all passed highways, making it convenient to drive. So you let these people

They would definitely not be willing to spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands on a new car, but would rather spend several thousand yuan on a second-hand car, as long as the car is generally in good condition."

"Our boss is very smart. He opened a car repair shop just as a cover. His main business is selling cars. Once he drank too much and told me: This kind of business can't last long in one place because there are only so many potential customers. Don't look at it.

The profit was hundreds of thousands in the first week, but this situation can only last about half a year at most. As time goes by, everyone who should buy a car has bought it, which is equivalent to a gold mine that has been dug out, and there is nothing left."

"The other thing is that the car repair shop itself is just a show. A bunch of poor people can't even afford a new car. If something goes wrong with the car and you send it to the car repair shop, the repair costs will definitely be tough and you won't be able to pay them at all.

It’s so pricey! It’s absolutely impossible to do things like the ones in the Fourth Son store in the city. Those routines are totally useless. So when we first went to Wenhai to set up a factory, our boss actually just set up an empty shell down there.”

"The factory is rented, and the rent has only been paid for six months. The reason is that I came to inspect the market. If everything goes well, I will sign a five-year lease contract directly. So the large equipment was not shipped, and I only made some scraps.

It’s just a pretense, to fill up the facade.”

"About the fifth month, there was basically no business. Our boss saw that the momentum was not very good, so he contacted other places and moved the garage."

"I followed him throughout the whole process and learned all about it. At that time, I was thinking that if I could save some money, I could do this and become the boss."

Hu Pingtao asked: "In this second-hand car business...are you running a regular business? Or is it mixed with other ingredients?"

Sun Mingxin said frankly: "Of course it is a formal operation. You can check this. Anyway, it is a time like this. I will answer whatever you ask, and I will not lie to you in a roundabout way. At that time, I was a law-abiding and good citizen! I really didn't

I thought about going astray."

Hu Pingtao said without comment: "Go on."

Sun Mingxin said: "After figuring out the joints, I resigned at the end of the year and left the repair shop. I thought I could imitate the boss's model and open a factory in the prefecture to repair and sell cars at the same time."

"I chose Jinchuan County. Through friends' connections and my own savings, I spent about 150,000 yuan to rent a factory and put up the frame first."

"It went very well at first. I made five orders in the first week, and the total profit was about 10,000 yuan. I was very excited and excited at the time. I felt that if I continued like this, I would definitely make a fortune."

"Later, someone came to the door. It was a group of local gangsters. They said they wanted to collect protection fees, and the price was very high, 3,000 a month. I didn't have any connections in the local area, so I wanted to settle the matter, so I gritted my teeth and made peace. But they got worse and worse.

It was increased to 5,000 yuan in two months. They also said that their eldest brother asked me to give him a birthday gift of 10,000 yuan... How could I agree to this condition? This is a small business! If I give them all, can I

Drink the northwest wind?"

"I ignored them. Anyway, we are all about the same age. Who is brave enough to fight and shoot whom? There are only two workers in my factory, and all the tools are ready-made. We used the machine to make a few long machetes and waited until the gangsters came again.

At that time, I rushed out with a knife and told them: I have already paid the money, and I will only suffer once and be fooled. If any of you feel unwilling, come up and have a fight with me."

"Later I found out that I thought things were too simple. The gang saw me as very fierce, so they didn't fight me. In the middle of the night, they rushed into the factory and caught me and the workers... They almost killed me that day.

He was beaten to death, and some of the equipment in the factory was also robbed, all of which were metal materials that could be sold."

"I bought a ticket and fled home at dawn." At this point, Sun Mingxin pointed sideways at his left leg: "My leg was broken at that time...the bone was not broken, it was just broken. I was at home.

It took more than three months to slowly get better."

"Since then, I have thought about it. You have to be ruthless, otherwise you will be the one who suffers."

"After recovering from my injuries, I left home and came to the provincial capital... I couldn't help it. I couldn't stay idle. My father and my mother were the only two people at home. My father played mahjong outside all day long, and my mother didn't care.

Me, they don't give me much money, and I don't want to stay like this for the rest of my life, so I will definitely have more opportunities outside."

"I am the Chu Ruoying I met at that time."

"To be honest, I like her quite a lot. She is very beautiful. She usually eats and drinks with friends and has a beautiful girlfriend to take her out with her. I also feel proud of myself."

"I met Chu Ruoying through a friend. She was a junior high school classmate of mine. She used to be friendly with me, but then she went to work in the north. She came back the year before last and made an appointment to have dinner together. She was the one who brought her out at that time. I

When I saw her, I couldn't open my eyes. I quietly gave her a message while eating and asked her to help me pull the string."
