In fact, to be honest, the journey from Jiang Hai''s manor to downtown Boston is not much different from that to Winthrop.
It takes him about an hour to drive to Boston and half an hour to drive to Winthrop. However, the people of Meidi have some problems, which are different from the situation in China. In China, some city people look down on the rural people around them, even if they have more money than the people in the city. This is the geographical difference.
The same is true in the United States. The city people look down on the country people, but the country people also look down on the city people.
This is an opposition, so generally speaking, as long as there is something to sell in Winthrop, people around here seldom go to Boston.
Of course, there is another reason. Although it''s only one and a half hours'' drive away, the price of what Winthrop sells is cheaper than that of Boston. No matter what it sells, this is one of the things that people here are most proud of.
However, as a member of the greater Boston metropolitan area, the goods sold here are quite complete.
Sitting in Robbins'' pickup, Jiang Hai and he came to a huge car shop in the suburb of Winthrop.
As in China, few car shops will be put in towns or cities. After all, car shops occupy a lot of space.
Winthrop is the same. When they park the car, they walk into the shop.
This car shop is a private car shop, named Fred. It seems that the owner or founder of this car shop is Fred, and the car shop, according to Robbins, has done a lot around here.
We have represented many brands of cars, such as American, island, German, British, Italian and so on. We can say that we can buy any car except super run here. At the same time, the price is fair. The most important thing is that if it breaks down, we can give a family price for replacing parts or for warranty.
"Hello, what can I do for you?" When they walked into the car shop, a young girl came over and asked Jiang Hai and Robbins in front of them.
"Hi, girl, is truffle there? I''m Robbins. Tell him to come here! " Hearing the girl''s words, Robbins could not help laughing and said that not only Chinese people like to find acquaintances when shopping, but also in Meidi.
After all, they can save money or get more gifts. These people are not stupid. How can they not use them.
"Oh, that''s right. I''m sorry. Just a moment, please." Hearing Robbins'' words, the girl''s eyes flashed a trace of disappointment. It seemed that she couldn''t get the Commission of this business. However, her good service attitude made her nod her head gently, and then she said it on the walkie talkie. Soon, a middle-aged man about the same age as Robbins came out of it.
But this guy, compared with Robbins, is much fatter. There are also some Mediterranean people who come from afar, just like a big steamed bread with some hair, and come over laughing.
"Hey, man, are you finally going to change your old pickup? I thought you were going to keep him old. " Seeing Robbins, the guy joked with a smile. It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very good.
"Naturally, I want to support my old man, but today my boss wants to buy a car." And the fat man hit a punch, and then Robbins a smile on the face of the introduction of the standing beside him Jiang Hai''s identity.
"Your boss? Wow, green forest, it''s a rare big guy. You must need a lot of helpers. Come on, little boss. Truff can meet all your requirements. " When he heard Robbins'' words, trufu was stunned for a moment, then gave a strange cry, took Jiang Hai''s shoulder, and walked towards the inside.
After all, it was Robbins who brought it here, so he didn''t take Jiang Hai to see any messy things.
They went directly to the pickup area. As soon as they went in, rows of steel monsters appeared in front of Jiang Hai.
"Come on, little boss, although we can''t say it''s the most complete pickup truck in the United States, I can guarantee that I have what New York and Boston have, and even I have some cars from your country. Do you want to have a look?" On the one hand, he took Jiang Hai to the inside, and here trufu was also constantly introducing him there.
"Ha ha, forget it." Although Jiang Hai is proud of the fact that domestic cars can be sold to the U.S. emperor, he is not interested in them when he thinks about the strength of domestic cars. Of course, he has heard before that what he sells at home is not the same as what he sells abroad, but Jiang Hai is still not ready to try more.
If you want to buy it, buy it well. He is short of money, but he is not short of a little money.
"Oh, that''s a pity..." When he heard Jiang Hai''s words, trufu could not help but say, but looking at his fat face, there was no trace of pity. Then he seemed to forget it and began to introduce it to Jiang Hai.
Basically, there are four brands in middie''s medium and high-end pickups. One of them is the most popular Ford F series. This car has a price advantage. After all, it is middie''s own car, and it is easy to maintain and not easy to break. The price ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. It depends on what Jiang Hai wants to buy.Secondly, the Dodge series, compared with Ford''s, has some price advantages. In addition, it''s almost the same, but there are a few options. After all, it mainly has to do MPV.
Second, Toyota of the island. Compared with Ford and dodge, this car has many advantages. One is that the price is cheaper. The other is that it is very fuel-efficient. Although Meidi''s fuel money is very cheap, because taxes, road fees and the like are added to gasoline. It seems like a dollar a litre, which is about the same as the domestic oil price.
But don''t forget that what people earn is American knives, while what they earn in China is soft coins. Besides, other people don''t charge road maintenance fees, bridge tolls, and road tolls. Only a few private built expressways will be set up, but the number is very small. All these are included in the cost of fuel.
At the same time, the most important thing is that one American dollar is worth more than six soft coins, but what they earn in China is not American dollar. The exchange rate difference is six times, but what they earn is not as much as six times. The middle class of Meidi earns 50000 US dollars, while the domestic middle class earns about 100000 US dollars a year. The most important thing is the purchase of 50000 US dollars However, the purchase rate is much higher than the domestic purchase rate of 300000 soft coins, so when you come here, don''t think about that.
Toyota''s pickup trucks have been selling well in Midea recently, but Jiang Hai is not willing to buy an island car.
In addition to the first three models, there is also a relatively high-end CMG. This car used to be specialized in business cars, but now it also makes pickup trucks. According to Truff, what he recommends is these four models, any of which will do.
After Jiang Hai hesitated for a while, he decided to go with the flow. Although he also wanted to make some strange cars, it''s hard to say how good their performance is. So after hesitation, Jiang Hai decided to buy Ford.
But now that we have decided to buy Ford, we have to look at the models. Ford''s pickup truck is F series, with a total of seven models.
From small to large, they are F150, F250, 350, 450, 550, 650 and 750.
The most common one, of course, is the F150, commonly known as the Raptor. The price is about 500000 in China. However, 40% of the customs duty will be added here, which is about 350000. In addition to the exchange rate difference of six times, a new, high-power, top equipped Ford Raptor F150 will sell for about 60000 US dollars here.
Taking into account the license plate, insurance and the car tax for the first year, it''s less than $80000. However, Jiang Hai bought the car for farming and animal husbandry, with government subsidies. After the subsidies come down, according to Truff''s algorithm, it''s about $58000. It''s really cheap. It''s 6.2L displacement. It''s almost all the work he can do.
Jiang Hai was a little excited, but Robbins shook his head. It''s true that a common family farm has a Ford F150, which is almost the same. But Jiang Hai''s farm is too big to pull boats, fish or cattle in the future.
"You can buy one of these cars. It''s OK to transport some forage or something in ordinary times, but if you want to work, you have to use others." Hearing what Robbins said, Jiang Hai tut tut mouth, how in his eyes a good car, here unexpectedly so unbearable ah.
"It''s true that your farm is too big. If you want to transport cattle, this car can be loaded with 50 heads at most at one time. If you want more, you can''t pull it. If you want to use it for farm, you can see that 450550650 and 750 are too expensive. I don''t recommend them. You can buy them by yourself." Hearing what Robbins said, Truff said with approval.
After all, Jiang Hai can be regarded as his neighbor in the future. If he makes a fool of him, it''s not sure that this young rich man will have something to do with him in the future, so he is ready to say it first.
According to him, Ford''s F450 and F550 are medium-sized cars in this series, and their prices have also gone up a lot. If one F450 is subsidized by the government, it costs 140000 US dollars for one car, which will surely cost more than one million US dollars in China. 550 costs 210000 US dollars, which is really too expensive. However, the power of this car is more powerful than that of five 150 cars According to Robbins, if F550 pulls cattle, it can pull 300 cattle at one time with a scooter.
This is the standard equipment for general large farms. In most large farms in the west, 450 or 550 is used.
But in fact, from the beginning, Jiang Hai''s eyes were not on these cars. His eyes were always on the biggest one.
