Chapter 138 New Information: The BMW that spontaneously combusted in the parking lot and the tens of millions of dollars in losses! (3 in 1, please subscribe)
Some are happy and some are sad.

When Jiang Tao and Xu Li got 448 million, someone lost 448 million.

Chaoyang Huirong Mercedes-Benz 4S Center, inside the general manager's office.

Sales manager Chen Xin was scolded by Prime Minister Chen Peng.

"This is exactly what you call foolproof!"

"448 million! All the profits of a month and a half are gone!"

"Didn't you delete the record? Why does someone else still have it?!"

"How could I let a fool like you be my manager? I'm so blind!"

Chen Peng was shaking the letter of understanding issued by MixC in his hand, and the expression on his face was uglier than if his mother had died.

"I'm sorry, bro... I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

While Chen Xin kept apologizing, he was secretly muttering in his heart.

Wasn't it you who gave the nod to this plan in the first place?

When nothing happens, he praises me for being smart, but when something does happen, he scolds me so harshly.

It’s so hard for me!

While Chen Xin was secretly complaining in his heart, he also felt that there was something strange about this matter.

He really couldn't understand how MixC knew that the Mercedes-Benz GLS was a returned car and even kept the evidence.

Originally, according to the normal course of events, shouldn't this car be given to customers through a lottery?
After customers draw prizes, who would bother to check the maintenance records?
Moreover, the car was fully insured at the store and came with 5 free maintenance services.

Huirong will also be responsible for maintenance in the next one or two years.

As long as Huirong doesn't act stupid and self-destruct, no one will ever know the true information of the car!

The key evidence was deleted from the system before the New Year, and even if someone wanted to find it, they would not be able to find it.

But... this incident broke out so suddenly, catching Huirong off guard.

Faced with the aggressive legal affairs of Wanxianghui, the best solution for Huirong is to quickly kneel down and pay the money, which can minimize the losses in this matter.

Chen Peng scolded his brother for a long time and fined him two months' salary.

Finally, he asked him to put the Mercedes-Benz GLS returned from MixC up for sale as a used car.

The last time I returned it, it had only been driven for 3 days, so I could remove the signs of use and sell it as a new car.

This time, the Mercedes-Benz GLS had been driven for more than a month, and it was no longer possible to sell it as a new car.

Moreover, Chen Peng didn't want to fall into the same pit twice.

The lesson this time was profound, and he didn't want to go through it again.

Chen Xin returned to his office with a sad face.

Although he felt very aggrieved, he still wanted to continue working here, so he had to swallow his anger.

After smoking two cigarettes with an irritable look on his face, Chen Xin found the number of his good friend Li Ming on his mobile phone and dialed him.

"Hey Li Ming, I have a customer returning a car today, come over and take a look."

"The car is in excellent condition, original paint, and the mileage is only over 1000 but less than 2000."

"Okay, come here as soon as possible."

The two brothers spoke briefly on the phone, and less than half an hour after hanging up, Li Ming drove to Huirong.

Under the guidance of Chen Xin, Li Ming looked at the car and took some photos, and finally came the valuation stage.

After the new year, Mercedes-Benz was dragged into the price war by Audi, BMW and various domestic electric car brands, and was forced to join the price war.

The Mercedes-Benz GLS, which originally had a suggested retail price of 106 million yuan and required optional decorations worth tens of thousands of yuan, now has a suggested retail price reduced by more than 20 yuan.

The new car only sells for 84.

Although the Mercedes-Benz GLS450 in Chen Xin's hand is very new, has low mileage and few signs of use.

But strictly speaking, the property has been transferred twice, so it is now the third hand.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Ming gave his own quotation:

"67, that's the most I can offer."

"Damn it, Li Ming, aren't you being too harsh in lowering the price?"

Chen Xin's mouth twitched when he heard Li Ming's offer. The price was about 50,000 lower than he expected.

"Xin, I'm not trying to bargain hard, this price is definitely fair."

"Domestic electric vehicles are getting better and better, and are becoming more and more popular among young people."

"People have become disenchanted with so-called world-class luxury cars like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi, and their brand value is declining."

"I'll buy it from you at this price. It would be good if you can sell it within half a month."

Li Ming's words were very realistic, and this was the highest price he could offer.

Chen Xin still had some hope and asked, "Can't you add a little more?"

Li Ming insisted, "I can't raise it even a little bit. If it can be sold at this price, I'll take it. If it can't be sold, go ask someone else."

"Then please wait a moment. I'll go ask our general manager for instructions."

After Chen Xin finished speaking, he went to the general manager's office to ask his brother for instructions.

The result was inevitably another round of scolding, but in the end he agreed to Li Ming's offer.

After agreeing on the price, Li Ming carefully inspected the car again, and finally paid for it and drove away.

After returning to his parking lot, Li Ming immediately posted a circle of friends on WeChat.

The content is naturally the Mercedes-Benz GLS that arrived today in 99% new and excellent condition!
He didn't send the specific price, so you need to call to inquire.

……

Baigezhuang New Village, Building 28, in the bedroom of Room 1601.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Tao and Xu Li played poker for a while.

After finishing the work, the two hugged each other and started to discuss buying a car.

Although I received a huge sum of 448 million today, I also lost a Mercedes-Benz GLS.

I was used to living with a car, and it was a bit hard to get used to suddenly losing it.

So, I still have to buy another car.

but……

When the couple wants to buy a car with their own money, they are reluctant to buy a million-level luxury car like Mercedes-Benz GLS.

"Hey, wife, look at this car my friend just got. Does it look like the one we just returned?"

When Jiang Tao was browsing his friends on his phone, he saw a post that Li Ming had just posted on WeChat Moments.

The dynamic content is 9 nine-grid pictures of the black Mercedes-Benz GLS.

The front, rear, 45° angle on the left, 45° angle on the right, plus some photos of the interior.

Xu Li gave Jiang Tao a coquettish look and said with a smile:

"Am I stupid or are you stupid? They all look the same, right?"

Jiang Tao argued, "Other people's children and your child have the same nose and two eyes, how can they be the same?"

"Hey, honey, look at the pendant on the front of the car! It might really be ours!"

Suddenly, Xu Li pointed at a front photo of a Mercedes-Benz GLS with a look of joy on her face.

In the photo, a small peace locket is hanging on the rearview mirror of the Mercedes-Benz GLS.

Xu Li bought that peace locket for 10 yuan at the temple fair in her hometown.

Jiang Tao was too lazy to take it off when he handed the car to the staff at MixC.

"Look, it looks so familiar! Maybe it's ours!"

"If the price is right, we can redeem it!"

"After all, it's ours, so we know the car's condition inside and out. It's no different from a new car."

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Jiang Tao was actually not very happy about downgrading from Mercedes-Benz GLS to an ordinary family car.

The couple is now worth several million, but before they solve the housing problem, they are reluctant to spend millions to buy a luxury car.

Buying back the car you returned at a low price is a good option!

"I'll call Li Ming and ask him!"

As Jiang Tao was speaking, he tapped his finger and made a voice call to Li Ming on WeChat.

Xu Li lay on Jiang Tao's chest like a quiet kitten, blinking at him with her big watery eyes.

The call was connected within 10 seconds and Li Ming's voice was heard from the other end.

"Hey, Brother Jiang, are you back in Beijing? It's been a while since you last came to visit me."

"Li Ming, I saw you just posted a picture of a Mercedes-Benz GLS on your Moments. What's going on?"

Jiang Tao didn't waste any time talking to Li Ming and went straight to the point to talk business with him.

"Brother Jiang, are you interested in this car? I just got it less than an hour ago, and it's still warm."

"If you have time, you can come and take a look. Several customers have already inquired about this."

"The car is in absolutely excellent condition, with just over 1000 kilometers on it. It's nearly $ cheaper than a new car."

On the other end of the phone, Li Ming said whatever he wanted to say and briefly told Jiang Tao about the condition of the car.

Jiang Tao asked indirectly, "Did you buy it from an individual, or from a 4S dealership?"

Li Ming didn't think much about it and said, "I just bought it from the Huirong Mercedes-Benz 4S store in Chaoyang this afternoon. The quality is absolutely guaranteed."

When Jiang Tao heard about Chaoyang Huirong 4S store, he was % sure that the car was the one he had just returned this morning, and asked Li Ming:

"How much does it cost to drive this car away?"

Li Ming on the other end of the phone was also very straightforward: "Brother Jiang, you can take 70. If it were someone else, there would be no chance of getting less than 72."

"Okay, I'll think about it. I'll go over and check out the car later."

"Okay, Brother Jiang! You're busy, I have a call coming in, I'll hang up first."

"it is good."

After Jiang Tao hung up the phone, Xu Li wrapped her arms, as delicate and white as lotus roots, around his neck and said happily:

"Honey! It really is our car! 70... 70 seems acceptable!"

Jiang Tao gently stroked Xu Li's smooth and beautiful back, smiled and said in agreement:
"How about we buy it back? 448 million minus 70, we still make a net profit of 378 million."

Xu Li nodded in agreement, "Yeah! I'm too unsure to buy someone else's used car, but buying my own used car gives me the best value for money!"

"Then let's go."

"Uh-huh!"

The two hit it off immediately and started putting on clothes.

……

4 pm.

The couple took a Didi and came to Li Ming's second-hand car market on the South Third Ring Road.

When revisiting the old place, Jiang Tao couldn't help but think of the old Audi A4 that had given him four gold bars.

"Brother Jiang! This must be my sister-in-law, hello! My name is Li Ming!"

When Li Ming saw Jiang Tao and Xu Li who was holding his arm, he walked up to them with a smile and greeted them warmly.

When Li Ming saw Xu Li beside Jiang Tao, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Li Ming and Zhang Bo are also frequent visitors to Sanlitun and have seen many handsome men and beautiful women.

But someone like Xu Li, who is over 1.7 meters tall, also has a top-notch figure and good looks.

It is rare to find natural beauties without any traces of medical beauty.

"Hello Li Ming, nice to meet you."

Xu Li also greeted Li Ming with a smile.

Jiang Tao didn't waste time talking to Li Ming and said directly: "Where's the car, Li Ming? It's getting late, let's go check on the car first."

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, the car is over there. I'll take you there."

"After I picked up the car from Ronghe in the afternoon, I asked my employees to take it to the car wash to clean it thoroughly. It was very clean." Li Ming greeted Jiang Tao and the other person with a smile, then took them to the parking lot and saw the actual Mercedes-Benz GLS that he had posted on his WeChat Moments.

Jingle Bell--

As the three of them arrived next to the Mercedes-Benz GLS, Li Ming's cell phone rang.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, you two can look at the car first. You can take a look at it and test drive it for a few laps. I'm going to answer a phone call."

"Here are the car keys."

Although they had not dealt with each other many times, Li Ming was still quite confident in Jiang Tao. He handed him the car keys and went to make a phone call.

After Jiang Tao unlocked the vehicle, he directly opened the passenger door and squatted down to look at the vehicle nameplate on the B-pillar.

Compare it with the vehicle nameplate previously saved in the mobile phone.

It’s confirmed, it’s the same car!
From purchasing this Mercedes-Benz GLS from MixC for a lottery to Jiang Tao winning the right to use it.

Then Du Ennan gave him the car directly, and then he refunded one and compensated him three times.

Now Jiang Tao and Xu Li come to the used car dealership to buy it.

This Mercedes-Benz GLS went around in circles and finally returned to Jiang Tao's hands!
He and this Mercedes-Benz GLS really have a connection!

Moreover, this car was once Jiang Tao's dream car.

When I had no money, I dreamed of buying one after I became rich.

Now that he is rich, he can afford even a more expensive car, but Jiang Tao still has a special liking for this Mercedes-Benz GLS.

I like it!
"How's it, husband? Is it ours?"

Xu Li leaned close to Jiang Tao's ear and asked in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Jiang Tao smiled and made an OK gesture to Xu Li.

Jiang Tao has been driving this car for about a month and was driving it this morning.

He knew the condition of the car better than Li Ming, so he naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with it.

About five minutes later, Li Ming finished his call and came back to greet Jiang Tao and Xu Li, saying with a smile:
"Brother Jiang, what do you think of this car? Do you want me to take you for a spin and then explain it to you in detail?"

Jiang Tao laughed heartily and said, "No need for Li Ming, let's take this. If you say it's okay, then it must be okay. I trust you."

Li Ming jokingly said, "Brother Jiang, how about we take it for a test drive? I'm really flattered by your trust."

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "Stop joking, kid. You're not in a hurry to get off work, are you? I'm in a hurry to get home. Let's go through the paperwork quickly."

"Okay! Then Brother Jiang, Sister-in-law, you two follow me!"

"I'll take you two to sign the contract and go through the formalities, and then you can drive away directly with this car."

Li Ming greeted Jiang Tao and Xu Li with a smile and took them back to the office in the parking lot.

Then it’s time to sign the contract and go through the procedures.

From the time Jiang Tao and Xu Li stepped into the parking lot to the time he paid Li Ming 70 yuan for the car, it took no more than half an hour.

"Brother Jiang, it's rare that you and your sister-in-law came all the way here today to take care of my business."

"I'm treating you tonight. Let's invite Zhang Bo to join us."

"If there is a need to buy or sell a car in the future."

"Or if your friends and family have this need, please help introduce them."

After signing the contract, Li Ming enthusiastically invited Jiang Tao and Xu Li to have dinner together tonight.

"Haha, alright! I saw online that you guys are making a lot of money selling used cars. I'm going to rip you off tonight no matter what!"

Jiang Tao laughed and readily agreed to Li Ming's invitation to dinner.

He also wants to develop long-term in Beijing in the future, so it won't hurt to make more friends.

Friends do not mean that two people are friends just because they add each other as friends.

It is necessary to make an appointment for dinner or something when you have nothing to do to keep in touch.

Li Ming smiled and said, "I heard that Zhang Bo recently got a girlfriend, so I asked him to bring her along to liven things up."

Jiang Tao smiled and asked, "What about you? Do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Ming smiled and said, "I just got a girlfriend last year. I'm too lazy to talk about it anymore. I'd rather be happy alone."

When Xu Li heard Li Ming say that he didn't have a girlfriend, her eyes lit up and she thought of her sister-in-law Jiang Bing in her hometown.

Although Li Ming is not as handsome as Jiang Tao, his facial features are also very regular and his appearance is above average.

He is about 1.75 meters tall, which is of medium height.

In addition, he is a native of Beijing and his family runs such a large car dealership.

If these conditions were placed in Ping County, he would definitely be a wealthy bachelor.

Of course, Xu Li just thought so.

She wouldn't matchmake with Li Ming before she fully understood him.

Being rich is a plus, but if you want to marry your sister-in-law, her character must also be good.

After agreeing on the dinner, Li Ming immediately called Zhang Bo.

When Zhang Bo heard that it was Li Ming who was treating and that the invited guests included Jiang Tao and Xu Li, he readily agreed.

……

7 pm.

Led by Li Ming, Jiang Tao and Xu Li arrived outside a courtyard house near the front gate.

On the wall at the entrance of the courtyard, there is simply a small wooden board with "Tan Family Cuisine" written on it, which is simple to the extreme.

From the outside, you can't tell that this is a restaurant.

The courtyard is full of blooming flowers and shady trees, and the environment is very elegant.

The melodious sound of the piano also distinguishes the tone of this restaurant from ordinary restaurants.

"Brother Jiang, sister-in-law, the head chef of this private kitchen is Master Bai Mingxu, a disciple of Master Liu Zhong, the fourth-generation inheritor of authentic Tan family cuisine."

"Master Bai has learned more than 90% of his master's skills."

“This place is mostly full of members, they don’t accept individual customers, and the food is absolutely first-class.”

"After you two have tried it once, you will definitely become regular customers in the future."

As Li Ming led the two of them into the courtyard, he smiled and introduced the extraordinary features of this private kitchen.

After entering the door, Li Ming told the receptionist his phone number for ordering food.

After confirming that the information was correct, the three were taken by the waiter to a guest room in the east wing.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang Bo finally arrived.

"Hey? Where's your boyfriend Zhang Bo? Why are you here alone?"

"Look at you, you're so unsuccessful. You're still hiding your partner. Are you afraid that we'll snatch her away from you?"

Li Ming smiled and joked when he saw Zhang Bo coming in.

"She has to work overtime due to some urgent matters at her company. Just ignore her. It will be quieter for me with one less person nagging her."

Zhang Bo responded to Li Ming with a helpless smile, then looked at Jiang Tao and Xu Li and said hello to them.

"Brother Jiang and sister-in-law, it's rare for Li Ming to treat us. He's a legitimate second-generation rich kid, so please don't be too lenient when ordering food tonight."

Jiang Tao laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, of course. It's a rare occasion for Li Ming to treat us, so we have to give him a good meal."

Li Ming laughed and scolded, "Damn you Zhang Bo, your family is richer than mine. When you treat us to a meal next time, just wait and see how we'll rip you off."

After laughing and joking for a while, the four of them sat down and started ordering food.

Bird's Nest in Clear Soup, Braised Shark's Fin, Braised Abalone, Braised Sea Cucumber, Steamed Chicken with Straw Mushrooms;
Scallion-fried sea cucumber, abalone with oyster sauce, white fungus vegetarian stew, two-color prawns and firewood-cooked duck.

Zhang Bo was not just talking, he was really rude when he killed Li Ming.

He simply ordered all ten of the most representative dishes of the Tan family cuisine, calling it perfection, which resulted in Li Ming cursing at him.

However, talk is talk and noise is noise.

Since Li Ming invited everyone to dinner here, he naturally wouldn't mind if Zhang Bo ordered a few more dishes.

Moreover, this restaurant is different from other restaurants outside. The dishes focus on taste and exquisiteness.

Each person gets a bowl of braised abalone, with one abalone and one broccoli.

The braised black sea cucumber is just a pitch-black sea cucumber with a few red wolfberries and quail eggs.

The steamed chicken with straw mushrooms also only has one or two pieces of chicken per person.

It seems that we ordered a lot of dishes, but we are not really here to eat full, we are here mainly to enjoy the flavors.

The drinks for today's meal are a bottle of Maotai and a bottle of red wine.

The three brothers ate and drank while chatting. Although it was the first time they sat at the same table to eat, they got along very well and had endless topics to talk about.

The meal lasted from around 7pm to around 9pm.

When Li Ming paid the bill, he spent more than 5000 yuan, a little over 1000 yuan per person, which was not too expensive.

Previously, when Du Ennan and his daughter invited Jiang Tao's family to dinner at the BJ Hotel, they also had Tan's cuisine.

The average cost per person that day was a little over 1500 yuan, plus a 15% service charge.

Comparing the two, Jiang Tao didn't notice much difference.

The four of them said goodbye at the restaurant entrance, and Li Ming and Zhang Bo took a taxi to Sanlitun to have some fun.

Xu Li drove Jiang Tao towards Baigezhuang New Village.

The car that she had just returned was back in her hands after a round. The more Xu Li thought about it, the more she felt that this was an amazing thing.

"Honey, after meeting him tonight, I feel that Li Ming is a pretty good person. Can you introduce him to the third brother?"

While driving, Xu Li did not forget to find a husband for her sister-in-law.

Jiang Tao smiled and shook his head: "I feel it's quite tough. Li Ming may not be able to control the third brother's personality."

"How can you know if you don't try? The third child is also at the age of marriage, it's time to make arrangements."

"Among the third brother's classmates in the village, she is the only unmarried one left."

"I heard from my mom that those of the third child's classmates who got married early have already had three children."

"Haha, what do you think the third child will be like when she becomes a mother? It's quite funny when I think about her character as a mother."

Jiang Tao imagined the scene of the third brother holding the child and made himself laugh.

"How can you be a brother like me? How can things be the same before and after marriage? Everyone has been a new mother before."

Xu Li's lips curled up sweetly when she thought of the first time she and Jiang Tao became parents.

At that time, when their daughter pooped, the two of them would stare at each other and retch for a long time.

The couple chatted and laughed, and drove back to the community building around 10 o'clock in the evening.

When I took the elevator upstairs and returned home, the main light in the living room had been turned off, leaving only a circle of goose yellow light strip.

When the parents saw the couple come back, they finally put their minds at ease. After chatting for a while, they went back to their room to sleep.

Seeing his parents enter the bedroom, Jiang Tao no longer hesitated and went straight into the bathroom with Xu Li to take a shower.

I guess it has something to do with the abalone and black sea cucumber we ate tonight.

It would have only taken twenty minutes to wash, but the two of them took more than an hour to wash until it became soft.

Back in the bedroom, Xu Li, tired and sleepy, fell asleep quickly.

Jiang Tao remained the same as always, persisting until the intelligence was refreshed at midnight.

Today's Intelligence 01:
You had contact with Li Ming from Lao Li's Used Cars yesterday and obtained relevant information -

In Lao Li's premium used car lot, a new energy BMW i3 caught fire and combusted due to a circuit fault 10 seconds ago.

A timely reminder could help Li Ming avoid economic losses of 12345678 yuan.

You will receive a thank-you red envelope of 20 yuan from Li Ming, as well as his long-lasting and sincere friendship.

……

See the first piece of information today.

The relaxed expression on Jiang Tao's face instantly became solemn, and he sat up from the bed!
