Chapter 246 Buying a Car

Chapter 246 Buying a Car
The next day is Saturday.

Zhou Hongyu took the bus and came to the driving school alone to practice driving.

He looked sleepy at the moment and quickly finished the buns and soy milk he bought on the roadside.

Last night, Li Yuanbao came to Shenzhen from Huicheng again. The two of them, together with Tan Bin, played in the Internet cafe until about two o'clock. They rushed to practice driving early this morning and only slept for six hours.

But he's used to it.

Which college student doesn’t stay up late?

If he hadn't been stimulated by Yang Xiao, he would have wanted to get his driver's license as soon as possible.

He can even hold on even if he has to stay up for two consecutive nights on Friday and Saturday!
He thought he had no problem with the second part of the test, so after it was his turn, he finished two laps and dozed off in the open-air rest shed.

Other students who were practicing driving in the driving school also sat here, chatting with both men and women.

One of them was Yang Xiao’s classmate and class monitor—Hu Yuting.

She looked at Zhou Hongyu, who was sitting in the corner without talking to anyone and seemed drowsy. Suddenly, she felt that he looked familiar.

Eh? I remember this guy seemed to be Yang Xiao's friend?
Why are you here alone?
Hu Yuting looked around but didn't see Yang Xiao.

In fact, she had taken the initiative to ask Yang Xiao out before, using the excuse that they were practicing driving together at the same driving school, but Yang Xiao refused on the grounds that he had no time.

She thought Yang Xiao was the kind of student who signed up and planned to drag it out.

There are too many people like this. Some of them sign up in their freshman year, but only practice driving in their sophomore or junior year.

As a girl, she was shy. Although she had some feelings for Yang Xiao, she was too embarrassed to keep asking about this matter over and over again.

Isn't this too obvious?
Be more reserved!
But she didn't know that what Yang Xiao said was the truth. He didn't have any time to practice driving at all and went straight to the examination room.

After a while, it was Zhou Hongyu's turn again.

When he stood up, he passed by Hu Yuting and was stopped by the latter.

"Classmate, are you here alone? Where's Yang Xiao?"

"Him? He has already passed the test and got his driver's license!"

"What? Got the certificate?"

Together with Hu Yuting was her roommate Fu Qiuxia, who also knew Yang Xiao.

Perhaps it was because Yang Xiao had always been low-key and unpretentious in class, and because he was good-looking, he had always been popular among girls.

"Then why have I never seen him practice driving on weekends?"

At this time, she and Hu Yuting couldn't help but ask back, seeming very surprised.

After all, they have never missed any weekends in the past few weeks. It was too fast for Yang Xiao to get the certificate without saying anything, right?
"He had driven a car before, so he didn't even need to practice. He went straight to the test and passed it. He got his license yesterday."

"Oh, I see. Got it. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Zhou Hongyu smiled and waved his hand, it was his turn to practice driving.

As the class monitor, Hu Yuting naturally pays attention to the dynamics of her classmates.

I guess Yang Xiao skipped classes so frequently before because he was going to get a driver's license?

Looking at Zhou Hongyu walking towards the training car, Fu Qiuxia beside her said with a smile:
"This Yang Xiao is quite impressive. He must have a car at home, right? Otherwise, how could he get a driver's license so quickly?"

"may be."

"Yuting, you care about him so much, don't you like him?"

Hearing her roommate's joke, Hu Yuting quickly denied it:
"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehe, why are you in such a hurry? I'm just asking."

Fu Qiuxia added, "Actually, Yang Xiao is quite good. He's not as flamboyant as other boys. He's also good-looking. His family background should not be bad, right?"

Hu Yuting shook her head: "I don't know, I haven't asked these questions."

"By the way, he doesn't seem to have a girlfriend? Oh, I'm a little moved!"

"Do you like him? Otherwise, I'll go ask him for you."

When Hu Yuting heard Fu Qiuxia talking to herself, she did not react, but just teased her instead.

"Haha, how dare I snatch it from you?"

"Watch me tear your mouth apart!"

The two of them joked about this topic again, but they didn't have time to ask Zhou Hongyu whether Yang Xiao had a girlfriend or not.

After Zhou Hongyu finished this round of practice, it was already noon.

He didn't plan to practice all day today.

He had other things to do at this time in the afternoon.

Yang Xiao said he would go to look at cars in the afternoon.

Shouldn't he go along to see it all?
After buying a box lunch outside the driving school to fill his stomach, Zhou Hongyu hurried back to reunite with Yang Xiao.

He was afraid that Yang Xiao would go there early and not wait for him, so when he went back he did not choose to take the bus but took a taxi.

In fact, Yang Xiao’s weekend is not as relaxing as Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao’s.

He has a lot on his mind.

He was not idle today, but went to the office in Shenzhen South Science and Technology Building and sat for the whole morning to deal with some matters that required his attention.

He now has too many companies under his control and is involved in many businesses.

Naturally, there were more things that required his personal attention.

For example, the daily progress of projects such as WIFI Master Key, Kuaiya, and Time Cloud Music.

Taking Shiguang Cloud Music as an example, the PC version is now online.

The APP side is almost ready. Now it depends on Yang Xiao’s opinion whether to consider a suitable time to launch it?

Or does it require advertising investment or something like that?

Including the campus singing competition sponsored by Shiguang Cloud Music proposed by Yang Xiao yesterday, Guo Haiping also made a budget for the plan overnight and sent it to Yang Xiao for review via email.

Yang Xiao thought about it, first finalized the launch time of the APP, and also affirmed the latter's plan.

Then he asked Zhao Qian to contact Huang Zhengfei, and he was more or less planning to leave an advertising space for Shiguang Cloud Music on the WIFI Master Key.

Although Shiguang Cloud Music is a big hole that cannot be plugged and no major actions can be taken for the time being, it is still his "baby" and he still has to take some care of such minor troubles.

Otherwise, he could feel the resentment of Guo Haiping, the person in charge, through the computer screen.

In addition, there are also many other company businesses, including some internal data and information of Yinhan Technology some time ago, and the specific progress of the game, all of which require him to review one by one.

Of course, since Yang Xiao has to attend classes at school on weekdays, it is impossible for him to pay attention to these all the time, so naturally he needs someone to help him summarize and organize them.

The things he saw now were all sorted out by his assistant Zhao Qian.

Zhao Qian has very good personal abilities in this area. Every day she will prepare a business summary of each company under Yang Xiao for him to browse and refer to. She will even mark out the more important things and remind Yang Xiao to review them.

To be honest, Yang Xiao is even considering skipping two days of classes every week and working in the company's office.

Otherwise, he felt that he really didn't have enough time!
After spending the whole morning hurriedly processing important documents, Yang Xiao relaxed. Before he had time to eat, he received a call from Zhou Hongyu.

"Godfather, I'm back from driving school. When are we going to go look at the car?"

"Call Yuanbao and come down to my office building. I haven't eaten yet."

"Fuck, why didn't you tell me earlier? I just finished my lunch." "Then I'll take care of it myself."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiao went downstairs to find a fast food.

Although today is Saturday, there are still many people eating at noon.

The main thing is that there are a lot of workers working overtime in their office building, and many people are working overtime today!

For example, in their Easy Internet Technology Company, working overtime on weekends is the norm.

Of course, Yang Xiao is not a capitalist who deserves to be hung on the street lamp.

The reason for working overtime some time ago was that everyone needed to work overtime when apps like Kuaiya were launched. Now it has reached a stable period. As far as he knows, Huang Zhengfei, as the CEO of Qingsong Internet Technology Company, did not force employees to work overtime.

The main focus is on voluntary participation!
Moreover, people who work overtime are generally reimbursed for meal allowances and taxi fares, which is already very humane.

Old Huang was resting today and Yang Xiao did not disturb him.

In comparison, he basically doesn't need to worry about the two products, WIFI Master Key and Kuaiya.

At present, we are steadily promoting user growth and then expanding our business.

When the domestic user growth gradually reaches a certain level, it is almost time to expand into the international market.

Of course, this is something to consider when raising the next round of B or even C round of financing.

He doesn't even need to be in a hurry, as these two products can be developed for some time.

Because of the domestic mobile phone market, the number of smartphone users will see explosive growth in the next two to three years.

However, Yang Xiao had already prepared for the future and had acquired these two international domain names before creating the two apps.

Due to the characteristics of the name, Kuaiya was independently registered through him.

The domain name of WiFi Master Key is www.wifi.com, which was registered by someone with ulterior motives. He spent some money to get it.

Moreover, this domain name belongs to him personally. In the future, he can take advantage of this opportunity to transfer money from one pocket to the right pocket, sell it to himself, and cash out several million without any problem.

Well, how can we do this without cheating venture capitalists?
Not long after Yang Xiao finished his meal, Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao rushed over to meet him.

To be honest, I don’t know why, but whenever Yang Xiao is with the two of them, he always feels like he is reminded that he is a “young man”.

At other times, he always had the mentality of an adult from his previous life.

It feels different from being in Shenzhen University.

Everything in Shenzhen University was unfamiliar to Yang Xiao, something he had never experienced in his previous life.

But Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu were both his close friends in his previous life.

He was seeing the changes in these two people, and they were also seeing the changes in him.

This indescribable feeling filled his heart. Only when he was playing with them could Yang Xiao truly relax.

Yang Xiao sometimes feels very tired.

Even with the foresight of a reborn person, he still felt the hardships of starting a business.

Moreover, the cash flow was too little, which made Yang Xiao feel a sense of crisis all the time.

It might even collapse suddenly one day.

But he seemed unable to stop. With such a large amount of things on his hands, he had unknowingly felt a sense of responsibility.

Of course, there is also a large sense of accomplishment that prevents him from giving up easily.

Damn, I’m only a freshman now!
At the age of 18 or 19, I have to work hard on my own to start a business. It's tiring.

"Damn, it's only fun to be a rich second generation! You don't have to worry about anything except having fun." Yang Xiao couldn't help but complain.

"Brother Xiao, what do you mean by rich second generation? You are not a rich second generation, you are a rich first generation."

At this time, Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao came towards them, looking giggling and frivolous. They happened to hear Yang Xiao talking to himself, and the former immediately asked.

"Yes, being a first-generation rich person is boring. You still have to struggle. The second-generation rich people enjoy the good life. It's a pity that we don't have such luck."

"Forget it, let's go."

Yang Xiao didn't want to say more about this topic. He hailed a taxi, told the address, and got in.

Zhou Hongyu asked curiously: "Brother Xiao, aren't we going to the Auto Trade City?"

"No, just go to the Porsche store and have a look."

"Ah? Isn't the Porsche store in that kind of auto trade city?"

“It’s hard to say, but basically they are not in that kind of park. Most of them are unique in the form of experience stores.”

Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao looked as if they had learned something new.

Yang Xiao smiled and thought to himself, I found out about this yesterday as well.

Otherwise, if the three of them went directly to the Auto Trade City and there were no cars he wanted to see, it would be a real joke.

The taxi driver was actually quite curious, but he didn't ask any further questions.

As for the appearance and temperament of the three people, he didn't even consider whether they would buy a car. He just sent them to their destination.

This is the Porsche Center in Shenzhen.

After Yang Xiao got off the car, he walked straight in. Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu were indeed a little nervous and excited, and followed behind him chattering.

It was just past one o'clock in the afternoon.

There were no other customers looking at cars in the showroom, but there was a female receptionist at the front desk who greeted the three of them first:
"Gentlemen, do you want to see the car?"

"Yeah." Yang Xiao nodded, looking calm.

Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao were still a little nervous when they came to this kind of store, but with Yang Xiao's support, they felt that they couldn't lose face, so they pretended to be calm and nodded without saying anything.

The female receptionist asked them to sit on the sofa and wait for a while. She asked several people if they wanted tea, coffee or other drinks.

Yang Xiao casually ordered a cup of black tea, and Li Yuanbao and Zhou Hongyu followed suit and ordered a cup of coffee.

At this time, there were two sales staff in the store who were taking a temporary break in the store's office.

They were a man and a woman, who saw Yang Xiao and the other two coming in through a piece of transparent glass.

Seeing this, the male salesperson pouted and said jokingly, "Come on, a big customer is coming, why don't you go and receive him?"

"Why don't you go?" The female salesperson rolled her eyes when she heard that.

"Haha, you don't have much sales this month, I'll give it to you."

The female salesperson's name was Chen Lan. Seeing that he didn't move, she knew that he was just being lazy and didn't want to serve him. After all, this guy was obviously a college student who just came in to see what was going on. It was indeed a bit of a waste of time.

But Chen Lan had no choice. She knew there was no hope. Although she felt depressed, she still cheered herself up and walked out with a helpless look on her face.

Due to regulations, they must come to warmly welcome any customer.

Even if you provide service with a smile, you cannot show any discriminatory look even if you know the other party cannot afford it.

She walked up to Yang Xiao and the other two, smiling:
"Sir, which car do you want to see?"

“What cars do you have in stock in your store?”

"The cars we currently have in our store include Cayman and Boxster"

Yang Xiao didn't want to listen to your complicated introduction, so he went straight to the point and asked about a car he had liked in his previous life.

"Um, do you have a Panamera?"
