Chapter 11 Buying a Car
Chung Chuhong put her legs on her boyfriend, drew circles on his chest with his fingers, and asked, "A Fei, after taking down the land, are you planning to build a house?"
"Yes, the environment there is good, and I have the final say in taking the land. The Tamsui plant can only use one-third of the area. Other places will be surrounded by walls first, and after buying a TV station, they will build a set. Even so, a large area of Linhai will be vacated, and the industry will be built depending on the situation."
"After the villa is built there, will it be good for my parents to live here?" Zhong Chuhong asked carefully. As the eldest daughter, she was helpless. Her parents repeatedly asked for help from her son-in-law, but before the water plant was completed, An Yifei's funds were not easy to move.
"Ah Hong, let us use it here. I can buy a store for them separately from my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it is on both upper and lower floors. Otherwise, you can go and look for it. Just tell me if you choose it. Tseung Kwan O is a bit far away, so we still have to come here to live often, and it is convenient for your two sisters to go to school."
"Okay, you go to see the Governor of Hong Kong the day after tomorrow. I will take my parents to find a shop, hehe." Hong Gu, who got what she wished, began to "reward" An Yifei. Although she was no longer able to be conquered again, she used other methods that were difficult to describe in detail to make someone feel like she was back to the era when she opened the E disk and infinite YY. She had a sudden night and had no trace of her dreams.
In the original era, although An Yifei was a homeless driver, he had more than ten years of driving experience. He had a driver's license test earlier than many people. However, after the first car was scrapped, he never bought a car again. He had already received the manuscript fee for the second book and came to an American car store to buy the first car in Hong Kong for himself.
As a veteran car fan, An Yifei's first choice is the Ford Mustang series that was popular from the late 1960s to his own era. You should know that the price of the Mustang, a classic model of the 1960s and 1970s, will increase many times in a few decades, and is more valuable than many antiques.
There is a little trouble buying American and German cars in Hong Kong, because Hong Kong is now a British colony and vehicles are driven on the left, so German and American cars are both foreign trade models. An Yifei is very uncertain whether he can find the Ford series he likes.
"Hello, what car do you want to see?" A salesperson with shiny hair and a sleek suit greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I know you're a US car dealer. I want to see the Ford series, where is it?"
Since An Yifei practiced his skills, his appearance and temperament have changed a lot. Even if he returns to his own era and takes out his original ID card, he will be considered a liar who impersonates him. No one would think that he is still the short otaku who is busy waiting to die and has been holding two dark circles all year round.
"Okay, please come with me, here." The salesperson enthusiastically led An Yifei to the garage where Ford Motor is located, where more than 200 cars of various models were placed.
In an instant, An Yifei seemed to have found his lover in the crowd, and also saw a proud and independent snow lotus among the flowers. He could see the unrestrained Ford Shelby model, also known as the Ford Cobra. Especially this GT500Shelby model, which was set in 1967, will double the price in the future auction.
The salesperson smiled. As a senior practitioner, he certainly knew that this car was very easy to sell. "Sir, you really know the goods. This is a convertible cobra from 1968. Including the one in front of us, our car shop only has three in stock. If you want to buy land, you have to hurry up."
An Yifei was stunned when she heard this, "It's from 68?" When she got closer, she saw that it was not. Only this from 1968 was the convertible.
"Quot your offer, I like it." She was too lazy to talk nonsense, so An Yifei started asking for the price directly.
"Sir, after all the procedures are completed, the total price is 160,000 Hong Kong dollars." The salesperson seemed to be a very smart guy, and he vaguely implied that he could handle any licenses related to cars here.
Hong Kong Island is a gradually crowded city. Although cars are cheap, in order to limit private cars, the various expenses are extremely high. Even in the 1970s, two-thirds of the cost of buying a private car had to be handed over to the Hong Kong government. The usual gasoline, parking, etc. are even more heavy to make it impossible for ordinary people to consume.
The salesperson said this, which shows that the background of this car dealer is very unusual, but this is not something An Yifei needs to care about. "Okay, I can drive, but I don't have a driver's license, so it's okay to get 160,000 yuan together." In Hong Kong in 1975, I could almost buy a small shop for HK$160,000, which shows how luxurious it is to buy a car.
"Okay, sir, are you waiting here or coming here in the afternoon?"
“Can you do it in the afternoon?”
"Yes, everything will be OK before 3pm, no problem"
An Yifei shrugged and began to pay the deposit in advance. He knew that there were many forces in Hong Kong Island, and there were many people with wealth or power. The ability to complete the procedures quickly also showed that the car dealer was very strong. He didn't say much now, "I'll come again in the afternoon."
After so long in Hong Kong, An Yifei has never been to Hong Kong Island. This is because he has been there as a tour guide in his previous life. Now that he has paid the deposit in advance, he has only been around 10 am. Boredly, he has arrived in Central. (Note: The undersea tunnel has been opened for several years at this time)
Hong Kong Island is the administrative and commercial center of Hong Kong. The decades of operation of the Hong Kong and British governments have made it a slightly morbid and prosperous, and it is also a landmark of the entire Hong Kong Island. Most of the popular Victoria Bay posters are photographed by Hong Kong Island. Many of the buildings here are very similar to the Bund in Shanghai and have strong European characteristics.
An Yifei, who was walking by the beach, saw several women from afar. One of them had a familiar appearance made him smile and thought to himself: "Zhao Yazhi? Should I get married this year?"
