House Dad's Literary Life

HDLL Chapter 30 – The Car of This World

“Big Brother Yang, I came up a business plan for you. We can open this shop after the release of the Eason album, and with the help of this album, we can become famous all at once!”

At noon, after Guo Ziyi finished eating braised abalone with sea cucumber and rice, he was very excited and pulled out a small blackboard to give Yang Yi lessons.

“No.” Yang Yi simply refused, blocking the little fatty’s words back.

Guo Ziyi was stunned for a moment and jumped excitedly: “Why? If people knew you were the songwriter of Eason’s new album, people will surely flock to us, and then our coffee shop will become very popular.”

Yang Yi mercilessly corrected him: “First of all, this is my coffee shop!”

“Secondly, why should I want to have a busy business?” Yang Yi shrugged and said, “If there are too many guests, I, too, will become busy. If that’s the case, I might as well not open this coffee shop.”

Guo Ziyi was speechless for a while. He found that although what Yang Yi said was not rational, he could not find a reason to refute it.

“Will we be renovating this afternoon?” Guo Ziyi thought that he had to hammer nails and saw boards in that hot environment again, which hurt his balls a little just thinking about it. “Cough, Big Brother Yang, I have something to do this afternoon. Um, I have to go to school to hand in a replacement material.”

Seeing that he’s looking away when he looked at him, Yang Yi knows that this guy is going to be lazy again!

“There won’t be any renovating this afternoon, if you want to play, go and play!” Yang Yi stretched out, yawned and prepared to go back to his room to take a nap. “I’m going to buy a car this afternoon,” he said casually.

“Buy a car? Buy a car! ” Guo Ziyi’s eyes shine instantly and ran over with a smile. “Brother Yang, take me with you! I know where to buy cars! ”

Yang Yi looked back at him strangely and said, “Didn’t you say you were going to do something in the afternoon?”

“It’s okay.” Guo Ziyi smiled and waved his hand. “I may have misread the notice, it’s not this afternoon.”

Yang Yi laughed; he knew it.

“Brother Yang, are you going to buy a sports car? Katerati, or Ington Martha? ” Asked the little fatty gallantly. (TN: Not sure if the brand of the cars is play on words for Maserati and Aston Martin. And remember, this is not Earth but a planet called Blue Star. Chapter 1)

“I don’t have the money to buy a sports car.” Yang Yi roughly calculated his pocket. He spent a lot of money these days. However, after Chen Yijie paid 80,000 yuan in copyright fees, Yang Yi still had tens of thousands left. As for the 2 million yuan, he hasn’t used it for the time being!

But even so, 2 million is not enough to buy a sports car!

Ah! Yang Yi also likes sports cars!

In his previous life, he had a Lamborghini Reventon. The car was limited to 20 units worldwide. Of course, he couldn’t afford it. But once when he was doing a task and saw the car, he couldn’t help driving it back.

Naturally, the price was not small. After driving the car for a month, it was located and tracked. Then he was chased around by the NSA. Finally, he had to give up his residence and escaped.

Being reminded, Yang Yi was tempted by the little fatty, but reason told him that now is not the time to think about this!

If he wants to buy a sports car, he has to earn 100 million yuan first? Later, he should think how to make money legally!

…….

In the afternoon, under the lead of Little Fatty Guo, the “local snake”, Yang Yi arrived at the car city at the junction of Dongcheng District and Binhai District. This is the largest car market in Jiangcheng. Whether it is a 4S stores of various brands, or a middleman of some second-hand cars, they all have their stations here.

Yang Yi is more curious, because he has never seen any of the models and LOGO here. They are totally different from those in his previous life.

Little Fatty Guo is also a car fan. Although Yang Yi will not be buying a sports car, which made him a little disappointed, but when it comes to low-priced cars, he can still talk about it: “Within 100,000, there are quite a lot of domestic-made cars, what Fiatti, long JX wind… In fact, they are all the same. Fiatti and the old manufacturers in Yangtze River are of slightly better quality.”

“It’s too ugly, I don’t like it.” Yang Yi took a look at the door of the store and shook his head.

He really attaches great importance to appearance, and in fact, he has seen Fiatti and Yangtze River in the rental car place. He just didn’t like it.

“There are a wide range of options from 100,000 to 200,000. Imported cars have the highest sales volume. European cars are a lot safer, but have serious fuel consumption. Japanese cars consume less fuel, but the frame is too weak…”

Yang Yi listened and walked slowly with Little Fatty Guo, while looking at the models in various stores from a distance.

“What kind of car is this?” Yang Yi suddenly stopped, pointed to a storefront and asked.

Little Fatty Guo looked at it, scratched his head, and thought for a while before he said, “This is an unpopular kind of car. It’s a civilian pickup brand that was opened after the restructuring of the former military vehicle factory, called Wolf Fang! However, its car sales are not high, because it is not in line with the public’s aesthetic, and the price is on the high side…”

“Let’s have a look!” Yang Yi felt that listening to the name “Wolf Fang” made his blood flow. Moreover, looking at the huge frame of the vehicle from a distance, it looked very much like the kind of muscle car that he liked!

“pfft!” A disdainful laugh came from behind, which immediately attracted the attention of Yang Yi and Little Fatty Guo.

Turning their heads, they saw a good-looking young man in a suit and leathered shoes. Of course, looking at some brochures in his hand, Yang Yi recognized him as the one who had just passed through Fiatti’s 4S shop!

“Tch tch, big brother, little brother, you’re really good at picking!” The pretty boy said jokingly, “Look at yourself. You were looking for a one or two hundred thousand car, and you want to see Wolf Fang? Do you know that Wolf Fang cost at least 400,000?”

He was just talking to other people and talking nonsense. Just a moment ago, he observed Yang Yi, and judged him from his attire that he should be a potential customer of a cheap car like Fiatti, and wanted to come up and attract them.

But before he could talk, he heard Yang Yi’s “despising” words, and the fire in his heart sprang up!

It’s not that he thinks his brand is so good, but he thinks Yang Yi is just a poor man, coming out to buy a car, while only carrying a shabby duffel bag, which is worse than him!

The pretty boy boasted that he is a senior car purchase consultant in this industry, with a monthly salary of tens of thousands. He can afford to wear suits and leather shoes, drink red wine and coffee. Where like these two, who’s in sandals and shorts that can bought at a stall, are more tasteless!

But the car bought by the pretty boy himself is also Fiatti! After all, the company employees have discounts, and he is reluctant to buy other cars because he is greedy for small bargains.

Why should a man who is worse off than him still have such a big tone to say that he wants to buy a better car than him?

So, the pretty boy could not help but ridicule.

Yang Yi frowned, and he could not understand what medicine the man had taken wrong. He and Guo Ziyi looked at each other. Guo Ziyi also looked innocent. His eyes said, “I don’t know this guy either!”

“Well, go and see it! After seeing it, don’t blame me for not reminding you!” The pretty boy grinned and said strangely, “To be a man, the most important thing is to identify your own position. If you can only afford to buy a Fiatti, don’t daydream so much.”

Yang Yi really wanted to beat this guy up. If someone dared to make such a mockery in front of him in his previous life, he would definitely teach him how to be a man every minute!

But now, he suddenly feels that it’s funny!

“Do you think we can’t afford to buy a Wolf Fang?” Yang Yi asked lightly.

“No, what’s the price of Wolf Fang? Cough, cough, I actually think you can’t even afford to buy Fiatti!” The pretty boy sneered.
