In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 605 The boss has to kill decisively

Zi Xiaowei himself said that even if he took over Changjiang Automobile, he would not touch the original production system too much.

What qualifications do outsiders have to comment on the automobile production system that has been operating for decades and gradually upgraded?
Zi Xiaowei is very clear about his own capabilities.

He is an excellent gold medal teacher who is good at grasping the problem-solving ideas of top students and then instilling them into his own students.

He has never studied the production system in depth, and he doesn't have the energy to try to do everything at once.

He didn't even go to the production line at the underwear company to give orders.

Not to mention cars, which are a million times more complicated.

Besides, Lao Chang is a guy who likes to ponder and immerse himself in production details.

He advocated the Japanese automobile production line, and then made a lot of improvements based on his own understanding to the rather rigid and narrow issues of daily life. Anyway, it was almost the opposite of the European car manufacturers' approach.

Therefore, Zi Xiaowei would never test Jingxi Industry on a production line with this degree of molding.

Mr. Chen, who worked his way up from the production line like Lao Chang, also has this rigorous habit.

Maybe this is why Mr. Chang likes to complain about the new forces' messing around, and Mr. Chen has been dissatisfied with the poor cooperation with Cheng Dazui many times.

They represent the highest level of production processes of domestic traditional car companies and it is difficult for them to accept more intelligent improvements.

In particular, in order to demonstrate their own advancement, MRO service providers have to take big steps and try to come up with some very high-end things to fool people, which can easily lead to shortcomings.

Ever since Zi Xiaowei talked about MRO with Brother Qiang last night, he came back thinking about either trying to modify a used car, or asking Lao Chang or Mr. Chen to find a second- or third-tier unimportant branch brand manufacturer to conduct a trial.

He wouldn't just listen to Brother Qiang's words and use it all rashly.

However, the improvement of new productivity must be carried out unswervingly, which is a very necessary exploration.

Sure enough, after the meal, I strolled over to have tea with Lao Jin and the others, and we hit it off right away when we talked about the second-hand car business.

The number of luxury cars in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai areas is definitely much higher than that in the western regions. The prices of used cars have plummeted in the past six months.

It was precisely from April that they began to believe the views of anchor Xiong, and from then on they began to sell off and transfer the 4S store business, and then fully embraced the Jingxi Auto outlets.

Their repair workshops and technician teams across East China are contracted, specially contracted, and jointly operated with Jingxi Auto in various ways.

The proceeds from the transfer of the 4S store were used to invest in the Totoro factory, and they insisted on getting some shares.

This serves as an example for the entire Changjiang Automobile's 4S sales system. Look at the dealers and agents who were the first to join Mr. Wei. They have now completely narrowly escaped the systemic collapse of 4S stores across the country.

It can be said that the only companies that can hold up the market in the country now are a few new forces and leading private enterprises, and Dream Auto is still making great strides.

Some car owners who are good at deceiving others are still coaxing their own sales champions, small shareholders and other forces to raise funds to start their businesses.

That is to deceive these people into not seeing the bigger picture.

Lao Jin and the others must have felt a sense of horror.

The asset cost of a 4S store is tens or even hundreds of millions, and the investment of more than a dozen brands may be tens of millions.

After the Internet car sales and Jingxi maintenance structure are established, the sales of new energy vehicles will be greatly boosted.

Who would go to a store to compete with others and get cheated?

These stores do not place any orders every day and waste a lot of money.

Even tens of millions of assets cannot last long, and many of the peers have gone bankrupt and run away.

They were lucky to escape.

At that time, they were eager to buy used cars at a low price, but Zi Xiaowei advised them to wait and wait until he had sorted out the situation before making a joint effort.

So I narrowly avoided the huge pitfall of second-hand cars in the past six months.

Mercedes-Benz and BMW often offer discounts of more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan on new cars, and used cars are also following suit and falling in price.

This is not outrageous. The prices of Land Rover, Volvo, Jaguar, Lincoln and other second-tier luxury cars have fallen even more wildly.

Land Rovers, which used to be a hard currency in the used car market, can now be priced below 100,000 yuan when they are older.

It’s too easy for used car dealers who bought cars in the past six months to end up with a bad deal!
The entire used car market is falling like the stock market every day. A car that was bought for 100,000 yesterday may only be worth 80,000 today.

There are even cases where the second-hand cars you buy are sold at a price that is inverted because the price of new cars has dropped so much that it breaks through the reserve price.

Prices are transparent and available everywhere on the Internet. Even if there are some consumers who come to buy used cars, they are shrewd and looking for a bargain.

Used car dealers across the country are suffering from a very painful backlog. They have no cash flow, but they can't help but buy cheap used luxury cars.

They still believe that this is a fluctuation of the broader market, and the operation of the smaller market depends on the operation.

Lao Jin and the others avoided it again.

So now Zi Xiaowei must be worshipped as a god. When he said he wanted to start a used car auction, he immediately attracted a lot of people!
What's more, there is a great guy like Brother Qiang, who sits next to him with great confidence and listens with great interest.

There is a lot of information coming from all directions.

The second-hand price of Lexus is still stable now, and the price of a one-year-old car is almost the same as that of a new car;
Audi was stable a few days ago, but has recently experienced a sudden collapse;

But Porsche is simply cutting prices in half, with cars that are only two or three years old being half the price;
Zi Xiaowei even heard an unexpected piece of news. He thought there might be a backlog, but someone actually sold and bought the cars in bulk, and then exported them to Central Asia as used cars and sold them at a high price.

Because the export of this type of used car does not require the delay of obtaining OTTC certification procedures in that country, it can be sold at a higher price.

Instead, it became a legend about the fragrance of flowers blooming outside the wall.

No wonder Li Xiang invited Zi Xiaowei to develop the market there together.

In short, there are a lot of rumors.

Maybe in the past six months, Lao Jin and his colleagues withdrew from the 4S sales system and handed over the repair and maintenance team, just like getting out of the market in time when the stock market crashed, but they have been squatting on the sidelines and watching.

The prices of new cars are flying around like a roller coaster, so these old car dealers simply focus on the prices of various used cars.

It's just like a bunch of stock market enthusiasts trying to find some scientific basis from all the messy stock prices.

Super messy.

What is even more remarkable is that when Zi Xiaowei said that he wanted to set up a used car trading market, and that it would be an auction model with an entry-level system, everyone cheered.

I feel like Anchor Xiong has the influence of a banker who can stop the market’s decline!

In addition to the dozen or so veteran Changjiang Automobile dealers headed by Lao Jin, more people kept rushing over after hearing the news.

At first, they sat in the romantic Chinese-style tea house with white walls and black eaves and chatted. It was quite comfortable. After sitting for a while, Mrs. Qiang and Chang Yueling simply took Maizi hostage and went shopping.

It was really hard for them to join in when a bunch of grown men were so excited talking about cars.

Even if the CEO of Jingxi Automobile still tried to understand, the two major shareholders of Jingxi Industry were already impatient and insisted on dragging her away. Anyway, the man would make arrangements for her later, so why bother with so much effort.

Maizi, who was not a top student to begin with, had no choice but to go.

As a result, the teahouse was soon full, probably with hundreds of people!

It seems that Zi Xiaowei and Brother Qiang joining forces can mobilize a large number of people to respond, which can make the prices of used car markets in East China rise at least.

The fact that they are optimistic about the situation is enough to excite used car dealers.

Taking photos or recording audio is definitely not allowed at the scene, and repeated reminders cannot stop friends from gathering together like this.

Then let’s listen to what the big guys have to say.

Zi Xiaowei certainly didn't mention his plan to counterattack and block the sales of new luxury car brands, nor did he make any predictions about long-term trends. The content was divided into two parts:

We are a platform that provides unified inspection, pricing and auctioning, not a car collection and sale platform.

First, we will try to provide several huge auction venues across the country to gather high-quality used cars nearby and auction them publicly through live broadcasts.

Of course, it is best to choose a "second-hand luxury car" worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan to attract consumers and make profits for all parties involved.

You can try to push a few points in the east, west, south, north and center.

Use traffic-concentrated methods such as Xiong Zhuan, Jingxi Automobile, and Jingxi Live to promote sales.

Everyone immediately requested to set up two or three more auction areas in East China, and they could raise funds on their own.

Secondly, only cars that are too cheap can be purchased through centralized evaluation, modified into right-hand drive, and exported in large quantities to Southeast Asia.

Otherwise, this part will really not be digested in China.

The more used cars there are, the lower the car prices are, and the less desire car consumers have to upgrade to new energy vehicles.

The most likely outcome of doing this is to completely eliminate the scalpers that roam around in the used car market.

Someone immediately said that this is also in line with this year's national policy.

Zi Xiaowei couldn't stand the word "policy" and hurried to inquire about it in detail.

Don't be fooled by his young age. He is indeed a big boss at the same level as Brother Qiang who is busy with all kinds of things every day.

People didn't find it surprising: "This year's new policy limits all car owners to less than one year, and a maximum of two cars. A third car can't be registered. Basically, it forces retail investors to use a bunch of relatives and friends' ID cards to sell cars on their behalf. These are all privately brokered transactions, so tax avoidance by not using a company dealership won't work."

This public sale and auction of cars will inevitably attract consumers of second-hand transactions to the Internet, and those small car dealers who do not exist in the form of companies will naturally be squeezed out.

The regulation of any market must start with the big fish eating the small fish and clearing out retail investors.

Zi Xiaowei is a little confused again.

I've made enemies everywhere in the new car sales market. Will this used car transaction destroy the livelihoods of many people?
