I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 89 Love Car (Please collect and recommend monthly tickets)

Actually, if you look at it from the perspective of twenty years later, Sarah Picasso is a bit ugly.

But in 2001...

Liu Jin would rather buy a Sara Picasso than a Peugeot 406.
Even uglier!

This car was actually the first one that Ma Jie took a fancy to.

He had also brought Liu Jin here to check the condition of the car before, and it was in very good condition.

The owner asked for 90,000 francs.

The market price is about 270,000 to 350,000 francs.

This is the used car market for foreigners.

As long as your engine is running, it is a used car.

Ma Jie estimated at the time that if he tried hard, he could get it for 82,000.

Unfortunately, he has no money and doesn't dare to talk about it.

This time he brought Liu Jin to visit again, and the car owner was actually a little impatient.

However, he recognized Liu Jin!
"Amos!"

The car owner was extremely surprised and went forward to hug Liu Jin.

He also went to Alijie's promotional roadshow.

"I love your song 'Bad Day' so much. Why don't you release it? I can't even find where to listen to it now."

Liu Jin, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"My singing skills are terrible, and that song was written to comfort Alizée. I've already given it to her... Oh, and she texted me on Tuesday saying she's finished arranging it and is ready to go into the recording studio. It'll probably be released soon."

"That's great, I love Alice."

“Who wouldn’t love that?”

The car owner's name was Alphonse. He started chatting enthusiastically with Liu Jin and didn't even pay attention to Ma Jie, Yang Dongqi and Sun Yue.

Fortunately, Madame Alphonse coughed a few times, which finally brought him out of his frenzy.

“I bought this car last summer, but I haven’t driven it much since.

I love her very much, but my wife is pregnant and she wants a bigger car, so I have to sell it."

"Alphonse, give me a real price. I like her."

"Seventy thousand, what do you think?"

"How can that be? You'll lose money. How about this, 820,000."

"No, that won't do. You're defending Alix like that. As a French person, how can I feel comfortable asking for too much?
Seventy-five thousand, what do you think?"

The two weirdos began to pull each other.

Ma Jie and Yang Dongqi were stunned.

Sun Yue didn't quite understand, so he stood there in a daze.

"Last time I went to him and secretly cut off a thousand, he almost picked up a knife and chopped me off."

"Old Ma, I think all these years you've spent in France have been wasted."

"If you say so, I have no objection."

In the end, Liu Jin and Alphonse negotiated the price to 77,000.

Take advantage?
Of course Liu Jin wanted to too.

It’s cheap, but not that easy to get.

The 77,000 included all the formalities for the transfer of ownership, which Alphonse was responsible for.

If Liu Jin were to run away, it would cause another mess.

Alphonse was also very straightforward and immediately called a lawyer over.

Liu Jin also called Koster over. After the two parties signed the contract, all subsequent procedures would be handled by the lawyer.

Liu Jin just needs to take the money.

Today is Saturday!
Koster was resting, but he was also happy to make this trip.

This money is almost free.

If he doesn't make money, others will, so it's better for him to work hard.

These are all his achievements.

Koster now even felt a little grateful to Chloe.

If Chloe hadn't introduced Liu Jin to him, where would so much business come from?
In short, both sides were relieved.

Everyone is happy.

……

"Lao Ma, I'll treat you to lunch, you choose the place."

After buying the car, Liu Jin was naturally in a good mood.

The silver-gray Sarah Picasso was before him.

That ugly fluid emits an alluring light in the sunlight.

Ma Jie was definitely not polite and immediately gave the address.

"boarding!"

Liu Jin sat in the driver's seat, closed the car door, and shouted at Sun Yue.

Sun Yue ran over happily and sat in the passenger seat.

"Lao Ma, your car seat is too hard. My waist hurts, so I'll take Xiao Jin's car."

Yang Dongqi knows which car is good.

You took Ma Jie’s car when you came here, and you took Ma Jie’s car when you went back?
Then Xiaojin bought this car for nothing...

After he said that, he sat in the back seat.

Liu Jin started the car, shifted gears, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed out.

Only Ma Jie was left standing alone beside his cleanly washed white rickety car, cursing at Sarah Picasso's back.

"Protruding(艹盘艹)"

That night, Liu Jin drove his car back to his apartment. Before that, he asked the landlord if the apartment had a garage.

If not, he would have to pull over...

This apartment is quite old.

But, there is a garage.

When Tina rented the house before, she did not rent the garage as well.

Now that Liu Jin wanted to rent a garage, the landlord raised the rent by eight hundred and rented the garage on the first floor to Liu Jin.

Well, that’s okay.

Although it cost several thousand francs, it saved a lot of trouble.

Otherwise, if you stop on the side of the road, conflicts are inevitable... There are countless such plots in Hollywood movies.

depression to luck!

Liu Jin just wants to work hard on writing books and making money.

After parking the car in the garage, Liu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the elevator from the underground garage and happened to meet his dentist neighbor.

Seeing Liu Jin bought a car, he was very envious.

Although dentists make a lot of money, they still have to pay rent, repay mortgages, and hire streetwalkers, which is actually quite expensive.

He enthusiastically introduced to Liu Jin the prices of streetwalkers in Toulouse.

Which area has the best quality streetwalkers, and which area has the best streetwalkers that you can't touch...

Readers of "Pretty Woman" will undoubtedly have seen this scene: the heroine is standing on the street, and the hero drives by. The two negotiate a price through the car window, the heroine gets in the car, and the hero takes her straight to the hotel or residence.

Well, France is pretty much the same.

This guy is an old jerk!
But there is one thing the dentist did very well.

He never brings any random women to the apartment.

As for Liu Jin?

His vision is very high!
……

I returned to the apartment, took off my coat and threw it on the sofa.

Liu Jin took out his brother's record and put it on the record player.

A melodious song sounded.

He opened the balcony door and walked out onto the balcony.

The street downstairs is brightly lit.

The White Shadow Bookstore is doing very good business, with a lot of customers coming in and out.

There are many couples strolling on the bluestone-paved streets.

It is already mid-March, and the weather is getting warmer, making the streets more and more lively and bustling.

Liu Jin's mood suddenly became a little depressed!
The joy of buying a car seemed to disappear all of a sudden.

He looked at the crowds moving on the street and had an indescribable feeling.

He turned around and went back into the house, closed the balcony door and drew the curtains.

After turning off the record player, he squatted down, took out a videotape from the drawer of the TV cabinet, and put it into the VCR.

Turned on the TV and pressed the VCR.

Start playing...

This is a very old movie.

Well, for Liu Jin, who was reborn from 2025, it was a very long time ago.

"Chungking Express", directed by Wong Kar-wai, is also one of his representative works.

Twenty years later, Liu Jin is not willing to watch any of the old movies, let alone the newly released ones.

Returning to 2001, he watched the movie again and seemed to have a new understanding.

When did you buy this videotape?
A month and a half ago?

I think I bought it while shopping with Deborah, but I never read it.

When Deborah is around, who has time to watch movies?
I’m so busy!

now……

My waist doesn't hurt anymore, but I feel an indescribable loneliness.

This is a feeling I have never experienced in my previous life.

Liu Jin sat quietly on the sofa, watching the videotape.

The oriental girl left, and Takeshi Kaneshiro ate canned food that was about to expire...

Faye Wong sneaked into Liang's room, and recalled Faye Wong's song "The Man in My Dreams", and Liu Jin sat up straight.

No, you can't watch this kind of thing.

Watching too much will make you depressed!

Liu Jin stood up, turned off the TV, picked up his coat and walked out.

His eyes inadvertently swept across his brother's record, and his brows frowned slightly.

Suddenly, I felt a little depressed!
……

When I went out, I met the dentist again.

"Want to go out?"

"Yes!"

The dentist smiled and said, "Want to go for a drive together?"

Looking at the old yandere's smile, Liu Jin guessed what he was going to do.

"I still have to write the manuscript."

"Amos, don't work yourself so hard every day. This is France, you have to learn to relax and enjoy yourself...Hahaha, the night in Toulouse is wonderful, there are many homeless beauties waiting for us to save them."

PC is just PC, why make it sound so refreshing?
Liu Jin could only respond with an awkward yet polite smile...
