The car giant started by marrying the daughter of the king

Chapter 30 The more you bargain, the higher the price
"Smith, this Cadillac El Dorado was just shipped over from America this year, right?"

After walking around this "old car", Jiang Hui began to communicate with Smith.

But his simple words made Smith look forward to him more.

"Jiang, you are the only one who has recognized what kind of car this is so far."

"I'm kind of confident now that you can fix it."

Smith didn't dwell on why Jiang Hui knew about such a rare car model in China.

But this at least shows that Jiang Hui is someone who really understands cars.

He may not need to go through so much trouble to invite people from America to come over for repairs.

"Smith, what's wrong with the car?"

Although Jiang Hui was very confident that he could repair the Cadillac El Dorado in front of him, he had to know the situation well before charging the car.

Otherwise, you will end up embarrassing yourself instead of slapping yourself in the face, which would be embarrassing.

"This car has had problems for a while. Last month, the engine would only vibrate after starting it and would not shut down."

"But about ten days ago, after starting the engine, it automatically shut down after running for a while."

“This is true even if it’s a repetitive operation.”

"We invited many professional car repairmen to come, but no one dared to repair it."

"The timid ones turned away as soon as they saw the car, while the brave ones opened the engine compartment, took a few glances, and then quietly closed it, saying they couldn't fix it."

Smith explained the problem in his sweet Mandarin.

If this were paired with a pair of orchid fingers, Jiang Hui's anus would probably tighten.

"I'll give it a try!"

When Jiang Hui heard Smith's explanation, his heart moved.

However, there was no change in the expression on his face.

"The key is in the car, try it if you want!"

Smith spread his hands. Jiang Hui was his only hope.

If it really doesn't work, he can't think of any other way.

Jiang Hui opened the frameless door of the Cadillac El Dorado, sat in the driver's seat very skillfully, and turned the start key.

The engine died in less than twenty seconds, just as Smith had said.

Jiang Hui then opened the engine compartment and took a look, saying, "This fault is quite troublesome, and we need to disassemble the engine to fix it, but I am confident that I can fix it!"

After hearing what Jiang Hui said, Smith finally smiled.

"Great!"

"Then fix it quickly!"

After listening to Smith, Jiang Hui stood there motionless and said, "Should we first clarify the cost of repairing the car, and then start the repair?"

As an expert on China in the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing, Smith once studied in Taiwan and thought he knew the Chinese people very well.

Later, he worked in the embassy in the capital for two years, and the Chinese people he met were a little embarrassed to talk about money.

I didn’t expect Jiang Hui to be so different from others.

But he didn't get angry, instead he asked, "Jiang, how much does it cost to repair this car?"

"500 USD!"

"500 US dollars? That's too much! It's equivalent to a year's salary for you Chinese people!"

"800 dollars!" "No, Jiang, that's not how you quote for car repairs. I've asked before, and the normal cost of car repairs is usually only a few to a few dozen yuan. Even for a bigger problem, it's only a few hundred yuan."

"1000 USD!"

Jiang Hui stared at Smith expressionlessly.

It definitely took some effort for the U.S. Liaison Office in Beijing to get this Cadillac El Dorado.

It has only been used for less than a year, it is impossible for the other party not to repair it.

And there was no other mechanic in the capital who dared to repair this car.

Now Jiang Hui is their only choice.

If you don't make a killing now, when will you?
Anyway, Jiang Hui didn’t force anyone!
"Okay, okay, $1000 is $1000, but you must make sure the car is fixed and the same problem won't happen again in the next three months, no, in the next six months."

Smith raised his hands helplessly, indicating that he accepted defeat.

A car repair price of $1000 is not cheap even in America.

Of course, since he doesn't have to pay for it himself, Smith doesn't care.

"No problem. Not to mention half a year, even if the same problem occurs within the next year, I can come over to repair it at any time."

"It's free!"

At this time, Jiang Hui finally smiled again and began to communicate with Smith enthusiastically.

"Smith, don't think $1000 is too expensive. This problem is quite complicated. No one else can fix it except inviting someone from America to come over and repair it."

"But if you hire someone from the United States to come over for repairs, not to mention the airfare and repair costs will be much more than $1000, just the time wasted in various visa procedures is not something you can accept."

"So $1000 to fix this Cadillac El Dorado is definitely worth it."

Seeing Jiang Hui actually telling Smith such a "wrong idea", Chen Chenxing, who was standing next to him, was completely shocked.

Especially when Jiang Hui said "1000 US dollars" for the repair fee, Chen Chenxing's heart started beating faster.

Although the official exchange rate of RMB against the U.S. dollar was only about 1000 at that time, U.S. dollars was equivalent to more than RMB.

This is a huge sum of money!

Now I can earn it back by repairing a car.

This further strengthened Chen Chenxing's determination to seriously learn car repair from Jiang Hui.

"Fix the car as soon as possible!"

Smith felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to talk to Jiang Hui any more.

"Smith, you also know the difference in our status, so I'm sorry, can you pay half of the fee first, and the other half after it's repaired?"

"Don't worry, I won't leave the embassy until the car is fixed!"

Although Jiang Hui felt that Smith would not default on his debt, he still had to guard against this risk.

What if the car is repaired but the dealer doesn't pay you, or just gives you a few dozen dollars as a reward? Where can you seek justice?
Others highly value the credibility of Americans, but Jiang Hui doesn't believe it at all!
"Wait a minute!"

Smith's face darkened. He didn't bother to say anything more and just walked away quickly, apparently to get the money.

He was worried that if he negotiated any further conditions, Jiang Hui would raise the price again.

That would be really depressing!

Because Smith knew very well that even if Jiang Hui doubled the price, he would still choose to ask Jiang Hui to do the repair.

The seller's market is so domineering.

Smith fully understood the truth, but when it happened to him, it was hard to accept.
