I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

After waiting for an hour or so, the number of bicycles finally decreased significantly.

There were cars passing by, but most of them were even more dilapidated than his 212, or small trucks like Jiefang, Dongfeng, or light trucks.

And then there are buses.

Of course, there were cars, but not many, and they were mostly Lada 2105/2107 (Soviet cars), Polonez (Poland), Volga GAZ-24 (GAZ-24, Soviet Union).

Commonly known as the Four Great Destructions of Eastern Europe!

Another group consists of Moskvich (Soviet Union) people.

These cars are characterized by outdated design, thin sheet metal, rough assembly process, poor sound insulation, and constant minor problems.

It looks impressive, but it consumes a lot of fuel, has poor sealing, and leaks air and water everywhere after a few years.

Experienced drivers joke that these cars rattle and clang when they run, and become dilapidated after a few years.

Over time, it gradually came to be known as the "Four Great Destructions of Eastern Europe".

A couple of Volkswagen Santanas passed by, but he didn't like them. In the end, he decided to go to the factory at No. 36 Guangqu Road, Chaoyang District.

The journey was less than 10 kilometers, and Yan Jiefang's 212 arrived quickly.

He parked the car a short distance from BJC, then vanished in a wisp of smoke.

After circling around, he finally found a 2.5-liter luxury four-wheel drive Cherokee that had already been loaded onto a trailer and was about to be towed away.

He immediately stuck to the roof of the car and unleashed a devastating attack.

[You successfully obtained a BJ213 (Cherokee) with a critical hit multiplier of 88! You have won 88 BJ213s!]

Noticing that the matter had been accomplished, Yan Jiefang immediately returned to his 212.

When he reached a less crowded area, he got off the 212, took out a BJ213, and filled it with 85-octane leaded gasoline.

Afterwards, I put away 212 and drove 213 directly to complete the formalities.

At that time, domestically produced cars did not yet have the 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) that would become common in later generations.

Instead, it's a short chassis number, usually 6-8 digits, stamped on the main beam.

Yan Jiefang casually wiped it, and the number on it changed.

He personally handles all the procedures, including obtaining vehicle registration certificates, license plates, and car insurance, as well as paying various taxes, road maintenance fees, and business registration, which are completed very quickly.

He didn't bother with any special license plate number; he simply got a ready-made official metal license plate and put it on.

This way, you won't have to wait ten days or half a month to get your license plate.

When Yan Jiefang drove his red Cherokee back to Qinlao Hutong, Liu Ruyan didn't pay much attention at first.

She didn't realize what was happening until the car was parked in the garage, and she quickly came up to check.

Seeing her husband get out of the driver's seat, she quickly asked:

"Honey, you bought a new car again?"

Yan Jiefang casually closed the driver's side door, then opened the back door and waved to her:

"Yeah, this car looks alright. Want to get in and check it out?"

Liu Ruyan was immediately tempted:

"OK!"

As she spoke, she climbed into the back seat through the open door.

Sitting on the three-seat light camel-colored leather bench in the back, she felt it and realized it was indeed much more solid and comfortable than the synthetic fiber and coarse cloth seats in the 212.

Moreover, this vehicle looks sturdy and heavy, and is many times more impressive than the simple canvas canopy of the 212.

Moreover, the interior, instrument panel, and other aspects of this car are much more refined than the simple 212.

She patted the sturdy seat and exclaimed in admiration:

"This car looks really nice! But it must be expensive, right?"

Yan Jiefang shook his head:

"It wasn't that expensive; the total cost was less than 25 yuan if everything was done."

Upon hearing the price, Liu Ruyan was greatly surprised:

"Yan Jiefang, what are you talking about? 25 isn't expensive? I think you've just gotten cocky after a few days of good food!"

However, considering that her husband's net worth might already exceed 5000 million, it doesn't seem like there's any problem with saying that.

Then, as if remembering something, she asked directly:

"By the way, what about the other car you drove out this morning?"

Yan Jiefang casually said:

"We only have one garage now, and since there was nowhere to park when I drove back, I parked it in an outdoor garage."

Liu Ruyan nodded:

"That's good, as long as it's not lost. The kids can use it when they learn to drive."

While Yan Jiefang and his wife were looking at the car, many neighbors came to watch the spectacle.

They looked at the brand-new, impressive Cherokee and couldn't help but feel envious.

The previous 212 Jeep was already enviable, let alone this new car that doesn't look cheap.

The Yan family used to be a well-known wealthy family on this street, and now they must be even richer.

After Yan Jiefang closed the garage and entered the yard.

A neighbor boldly asked Liu Ruyan behind the counter:

"Hey, Jiefang's wife, I heard your husband Jiefang opened a company in the south?"

Liu Ruyan didn't mince words and nodded directly:

"Hmm."

"He bought such a nice car so soon after returning; looks like he's made a lot of money!"

"I'd guess they earn at least several hundred thousand a year!"

"I think it's more than that; I suspect it could be over a million!"

"You're just making wild guesses. Money isn't that easy to earn. More than a million? If you have 50, you're already a super boss!"

Maybe they bought this car just to save face; having a nice car will make them more respectful when they go out on business.

"Hmm, what you said makes some sense. I was confused."

"Hey, what's the point of you guys making wild guesses? Why don't you just ask the person involved?"

"Forget it, it's their private matter. We can just talk about it casually, but it's best not to ask unnecessary questions!"

...

When Yan Jiefang picked up the two children in the evening, they were immediately excited to see the brand-new Cherokee.

I never expected my dad to be so capable. He said he was going to buy it this morning, and he brought it back by evening!

Yan Xueheng sat in the car, looking around and touching things like a monkey.

"Dad, you're amazing! My admiration for you is like a never-ending river, or the Yellow River overflowing its banks..."

Yan Xueyuan, feeling the warm breeze from the air conditioner, also gave a thumbs up:

"Dad, my brother's words may be exaggerated, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with them!"

With a father as capable and good at making money as you, the three of us brothers will all be rich kids in the future! We won't have to worry about making a living at all.

Hearing this, Yan Jiefang ignored them, but while driving, he was inwardly complaining:

How could you two possibly say something like that? Are you two time travelers? You even know these kinds of words that only became popular in the internet age more than a decade later?

They were very close by, and a few minutes later they were home.

As soon as Yan Xueyuan got out of the car, he ran to his mother, Liu Ruyan:

"Mom, Dad's new car is really comfortable. Let's drive together to climb the Great Wall sometime."

It seems like our family hasn't done anything together in a long time.

Liu Ruyan helped her son straighten his messy hair and casually agreed:

"Okay, Mom agrees. We'll go when you have your holiday!"

The third brother thought that there was only a little over a month until the holiday, which wasn't too far away, so he nodded:

"Okay, it's settled then!"
