Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

After breakfast, the family set out together, hailed a cab, and headed straight to the car city, eventually deciding to visit the BYD dealership.

As before, the showroom was bustling with customers.

Lin Mo, having registered with his driver’s license, strolled through the exhibition hall with his wife and child.

It must be said,

Domestic cars have made significant strides in aesthetics, whether it’s the 100,000-yuan Qin or the Han priced over 200,000 yuan, both look great, and the interiors are impressive as well, oozing with a sense of technology. ’ Lin Xiaoxiao, after entering the test car, was very excited but also very reserved, touching here and there, her smile never fading, as if she had discovered a new continent.

After waiting for about half an hour, it was their turn to test drive.

They were testing the BYD Qin DMI, the cheapest version, which cost around 100,000 yuan on the road.

This was at the insistence of Li Jinwen. Their family wasn’t wealthy at the moment, and buying a car was simply for transportation, so spending frivolously was out of the question.

Once the salesperson drove the car to the designated route, Lin Mo took the driver’s seat and tried out both electric and hybrid modes to feel the car’s performance.

The zero to a hundred acceleration took 7.3 seconds, and the throttle response was very timely.

The drive was much more comfortable than the car Lin Mo had rented a few days earlier.

Of course,

The car he rented days before was a seven- or eight-year-old model running on fuel, so it was only natural that it couldn’t match a new energy vehicle in terms of acceleration and silence.

Upon returning to the showroom, Lin Mo asked with a smile, “Xiaoxiao, do you like this car?”

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, “Mm! I like it!”

Lin Mo then looked at Li Jinwen and asked, “Wife, what do you think about this car?”

Li Jinwen actually liked the car quite a bit, but after thinking it over carefully, she said, “Husband, why don’t we go try the Wuling mini again? I think that car is pretty good, too.”

“And the salesperson just said that even if we place a deposit now, it would be at least three months before we could get the car.”

Lin Mo nodded with a smile.

Mention of a three-month wait was already enough for him to pass on the car; he was in urgent need and could overlook the luxury aspect of a car, but waiting was out of the question.

As for whether the Wuling mini was too low-end, frankly, Lin Mo didn’t care at all; right now, it was just a basic necessity. A car, after all, can be replaced any time when there’s money to spare.

“Alright, let’s go take a look at the Wuling then; if you like it, we’ll buy that one.”

The automobile city was lined with dealerships one after another, and not far from the BYD dealership was the Wuling store.

As they were about to reach the Wuling dealership, Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed at a car not far away, saying, “Dad, dad, what’s that car? It looks so cool!”

Lin Mo followed his daughter’s pointing direction and his gaze, too, was quickly captured by a red convertible.

Indeed, it was very handsome.

Even Li Jinwen, who knew next to nothing about cars, was drawn to its elegant body.

“That? The BMW M4 Cabriolet, a very nice car,” Lin Mo shrugged, saying helplessly, “But it’s too expensive for us right now; we can’t afford it.”

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xiaoxiao asked, “Dad, how much does it cost?”

Lin Mo stretched out one finger.

“100,000?”

Lin Mo shook his head.

“1… million?” Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Mm, to be precise, over a million.”

Lin Mo smiled, took her hand, and continued walking forward.

Li Jinwen also shifted her gaze away and took Lin Xiaoxiao’s other hand.

Everyone wants a luxury car, but one has to stay grounded in reality.

Just before reaching the Wuling dealership, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to come to a decision, looking up seriously, she said, “Dad, Mom, I’ve made up my mind!” When 1 grow up and earn money, I’ll definitely buy a BMWM4 Cabriolet for Dad and Mom!”

Huh?

Lin Mo and Li Jinwen looked at each other and smiled.

Lin Mo nodded solemnly, asking seriously, “Lin Xiaoxiao, are you sure?” “If you’ve really decided, then we should sign an IOU contract right now. You won’t need to pay all the money; just 1 million will do.”

What?

Signing a contract?

Upon hearing such a request, Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a long time, her head lowered, no longer speaking.

Lm Mo chuckled, “What’s the matter, chickened out?”

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, “No, Daddy, I’m just worried that I won’t be able to earn that much money in the future and won’t be able to fulfill the contract, and then the police uncle will come to arrest me!”

“Hahahaha, when you were bragging just now, that was not the expression on your face.”

“Alright, what’s the point of scaring the child!”

The three of them walked into the Wuling 4S store laughing and talking.

Despite the Wuling mini being cheap, the salesperson’s attitude was much better than that of a BYD; as soon as they entered, a sales associate came up with tea.

The service was excellent; no appointment was needed for a test drive and there were plenty of cars available. Pay on the same day, drive away on the same day.

And perhaps due to the market positioning, the sales associates at Wuling seemed very down-to-earth and even gave off a kind and friendly vibe.

For a car that costs just over 40,000 yuan, there’s not much to pick at.

I he steering wheel is a bit loose, acceleration is not fast, passengers in the back need to adjust the front passenger seat…

All these were issues,

but once the price was mentioned, none of these were issues anymore. Finally, after some haggling, they ordered a macaron vibrant 120KM ternary lithium Hongguang MINIEV, 45,800 yuan for the vehicle itself, with a final all-in price of 52,300 yuan.

The reason Lin Mo didn’t go for an even cheaper version was because he considered that this model had more airbags.

Even though the price was cheap, Lin Mo still wanted to buy as safe a car as possible.

Signing the contract, paying money, arranging insurance, getting a temporary license plate, checking the vehicle’s exterior and the chassis number, the year of the tires, and so on…

Although it was Lin Mo’s first time buying a car, he had already experienced the car collection process countless times on Douyin.

He knew exactly what to do.

In less than two hours, all the paperwork was completed, and after waiting another hour, the insurance also became effective.

By the time they were ready to drive away, it was already past 12 noon.

The sales associate put items such as the driving license, registration certificate, spare keys, and insurance documents into a bag and handed them over with a smile, saying, “Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, thank you for your support and love for Wuling. Our dealership has prepared lunch for you, would you like to have it?”

Why not enjoy something if it’s free.

Lin Mo nodded, “Sure, that would be great, thank you.”

“Please, follow me.”

The sales associate led them to the canteen behind the showroom, arranged for them to sit down, and brought over several boxed meals.

They looked inexpensive, with no fancy presentation or the like.

But upon opening the boxes, they were filled to the brim with meat, which was both surprising and appetizing.

If one collected a BMW, perhaps they wouldn’t be happy with a boxed meal, but it was a Wuling mini they were getting. Paired with this steaming meal, it felt like a great deal.

Nothing else, just genuine.

During the meal, Li Jinwen asked, “Honey, what shall we do this afternoon?”

“How about taking Xiaoxiao to the zoo?”

Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes sparkled as she eagerly nodded.

“Not going.” Just as Lin Mo stated his decision, Lin Xiaoxiao became impatient,

“Why, Daddy? I want to go to the zoo…”

Before she could finish speaking, her little mouth pouted, a look of unhappiness spread across her face.

Lm Mo smiled and said, “Because we’re going to a more meaningful place.” “Huh? What place could be more meaningful than the zoo? All my classmates have been to the zoo, only I haven’t! Isn’t that meaningful enough?” “Yeah, honey, maybe we should take her. She’s been telling me for a while that she wants to go,” Li Jinwen supported.

Lm Mo still shook his head and with a firm tone, amidst his wife and daughter’s puzzled gazes, said, “Xiaoxiao, I have a question for you. Everyone else’s moms have gold necklaces, gold rings, gold bracelets, but your mom doesn’t have any. Do you know why?”

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head.

“Because Daddy was poor before, and I didn’t buy any for Mommy when we got married,” Lin Mo touched his daughter’s little head with a smile and continued, “Now that Daddy has money, shouldn’t we make it up to Mommy?”

“So, now you choose, what should we do, buy Mommy gold jewelry, or go to the zoo?”

“Of course, we should go buy for Mommy…” Lin Xiaoxiao’s voice abruptly stopped as she pointed at Li Jinwen, who was silent beside her, and exclaimed, “Daddy… Mommy is crying!”
