Chapter 270

Announced a brand-new promotional activity without any warning.

Trade-in!

Accompanied by wind and rain, I have been with you all the way, thank you for your love and support, with you, with me, there is a home.

Starting from today, within ten days, all old products previously sold by Coast Automobile Factory can participate in this activity!

The brand-new price of the old Peanut tricycle was only 3,600, but if used to exchange for a Cucumber, as long as the original frame number is verified, it can be directly discounted by a full 10,000 yuan!

Don't ask why, if you ask, it's to take care of the family in the live broadcast room. I run a charity car factory, and I came here to benefit the people of Haizhou!

This bullshit, any peer who has taken apart a Peanut would have to rush up and spit a mouthful of old blood on Ji Jue's face: Are you f***ing doing charity?

Selling small tricycles at a loss, fooling others into doing testing for you, and now that the data collection is enough and the testing is done, you're using the small tricycles as blood bags to recover blood, right?

Don't forget, the entire Cucumber is a four-wheeled version of the Peanut, and most of the accessories can almost all be seamlessly replaced!

Even the chassis uses Coast's unique fluid-molded steel, and there is a complete set of technology that can be fully recycled and reused.

To other manufacturers, this Peanut thing is worth nothing, but to Coast, where is this a Peanut? This is the youth version of the Cucumber I just planted in the ground!

Take it back, take it apart, modify it, simply refurbish it, add some accessories, and piece it together, and you can instantly piece together half a Cucumber!

Swap the engine, add a car frame, match some interior trim, and a brand-new Cucumber comes off the assembly line just like that...

As for the Bean, needless to say.

The more you exchange now, the more fierce the production capacity of the upgraded models will explode in the future.

It's a pity that there are hardly any people coming to exchange Beans.

Even if someone heard the news and came riding a Bean excitedly, once they saw that what they were exchanging for was a Chopped Pepper Fish Head like the Cucumber, they immediately turned around and left without looking back.

You have to know, the customers who went to buy Beans were all poor brothers from the settlements outside the city and the suburbs, how could they take their vital transport tools in such a usage environment full of bad roads and mountain climbing to exchange for a baby bus that is useless outside the city?

Why exchange for this ghost thing?

Wait for a natural disaster to come, sit on it, put in a coin, sit on a rocking toy, and strive to figure out the seniority before dying?

Moreover, so much time has passed, the Beans circulating in the market have all been magically modified to the point of being unrecognizable, even if sent to Ji Jue, he might not necessarily recognize them.

So much so that for a time, there were few responders.

But it doesn't matter, the Bean is just a drizzle, and even the Peanut, which had many responders, can only count as a side dish...

You have to know, the scope of this trade-in activity is all products of Coast Automobile Factory.

All, products!

Even including the signature model and star product that had already spread throughout Haizhou and even most of the Federation before the comprehensive production stoppage sixteen years ago—the knock-off small bread van!

Before Coast stopped production, within a short four years, over 120,000 had been sold!

Even now, after so many years, they can still be seen everywhere on the streets of Haizhou. Among them, the vast majority of the car conditions can't even pass the annual inspection, and the odometers don't know how many times they've been adjusted, but they are still deeply loved in logistics, black car passenger transport, and even many gray and black industrial chains.

Even when Ji Jue learned to repair cars back then, the first one he repaired was this.

Even those dog-shit people who went to kidnap Lu Ma and Lu Ling were driving Coast's bread vans, so you know how deeply rooted this thing is in people's hearts.

Do you understand the gold content of the most popular car model in Yacheng?

This time, Ji Jue is aiming for its huge holdings in the market today!

Even the conditions are loose as hell.

As long as it can drive, it's fine.

Regardless of whether it's original, as long as the car skin is the original car skin, as long as it can still drive, even if it's crawling forward while smoking all over, at the very worst, even if you just dug it out of a trash heap and the smell hasn't dissipated yet, it can be discounted for over 10,000 yuan!

If the car is in good condition, with a complete chassis and engine, it can be directly exchanged for a brand-new Cucumber that just came off the assembly line, and it also comes with twelve exquisite gift packages and a brand-new custom car cover.

Like f***ing crazy.

Sixteen years ago, when everyone bought this broken thing, the price was only 60,000 or 70,000, and now that sixteen years of inflation have passed, you're telling me this pile of junk can still be exchanged for 40,000 or 50,000!?

Are you serious?

Anyone who saw that news suspected that Ji Jue had a problem with his brain, but unexpectedly, this lunatic is really exchanging it for you!

No conditions, no threshold, as long as the car registration and your own ID match, a trade-in is a trade-in, there are no fancy operations, and no rules and processes that make people dizzy.

One for one, it's that simple!

Even if what you exchange for is a Chopped Pepper Fish Head, at least it is a qualified, affordable, and cost-effective Chopped Pepper Fish Head!

Look at the Cucumber in front of you, and then look back at your broken car that you've been driving for sixteen years.

Even if the knock-off small bread van could talk, it would open its mouth to persuade you: "What are you stunned for, brother, hurry up and exchange it!"

Any hesitation for a second is a disrespect to your own intelligence, and any delay for a moment is a betrayal of the deep affection Coast Automobile Factory has for you!

Tears are not because of sadness, but the joy of bathing in fatherly love after drifting for half a life. Shaking the head is not a refusal, but the shame of being unable to repay the factory manager's kindness.

From the moment the new car is in hand, everyone has only two words for Factory Manager Ji Jue and Coast Automobile Factory—Loyalty!

And before Coast Automobile Factory, the first to collapse and paralyze overnight were the auto repair shops large and small in Yacheng. I don't know how many people dug out the pile of broken junk at home that had been lying dormant for I don't know how many years, and found places to repair and prepare them, just to get a little more money in the discount.

Just after one night, the streets and alleys of the entire Yacheng, from parking lots to the main streets, were all f***ing Chopped Pepper Fish Heads!

Red, green, yellow, black, white, colorful Chopped Pepper Fish Heads filled every corner of Yacheng, and began to radiate and spread toward Haizhou and even the southern region of the Federation according to the production capacity of Coast Automobile Factory.

Just like a reservoir breaking its dam, a great river flowing.

So fast that everyone couldn't react in time!

Within the city, especially in places like Beishan and the southern foothills where there are many narrow roads and dense alleys, the terrifying convenience of the Chopped Pepper Fish Head is undoubtedly highlighted.

Whether it's going out to buy groceries, commuting to work, picking up children from school, or even doing black passenger transport or delivering takeout, it's convenient as hell.

Cousin, this thing is much easier to use than a scooter!

And following the auto repair shops that were exploding with orders and working overtime everywhere, the second to collapse was the traffic police of Yacheng...

As everyone knows, in Yacheng, except for a few main roads, there is no such thing as traffic rules.

Everyone drives out every day relying on a brave heart that is not afraid of death and the fierce spirit of "whoever yields first is the grandson."

The first thing to do after buying a car is to pick off the turn signal; anyway, it's useless, it's never used!

Sometimes a car is driven until it's scrapped, and the turn signal lever on the steering wheel is still brand new; taking it off and hanging it on the seafood market to sell as second-hand is a huge loss.

When such common excellent qualities are combined with the Cucumber, which is known for its safety, the resulting traffic situation can only be described as brilliant.

Especially when the drivers of this thing are a group of drivers who have been operating illegally driving small bread vans for sixteen years, old geezers in their seventies or eighties, or newbies who just got their driver's license and don't even know where the gear shift lever is...

Look at these Chopped Pepper Fish Heads all over the mountains and plains, family!

Where is there any need for any scheming dog-shit business war? True operation is just so simple and unadorned, simple and crude, and... burns money.

In less than ten short days, the activity hasn't even ended, and throughout Haizhou, baby buses that are like nightmares to peers are running wild everywhere.

Blocking? Channels? Is it useful?

If it were useful, it wouldn't be completely useless.

Under this bizarre offensive that is like "living and dying with the heavens," even the similar models that peers spent a lot of money to heavily discount have been ignored.

In the cafeteria, which had become silent and empty at some point, only Ji Jue remained, leaning lazily on his chair, basking in the sun, looking as if he were drowsy.

And while the peers' sanity was being tested, some people had already gone crazy.

For example, Yin Zhaoyang, who has been missing for days, and for example, the cattle and horses in Coast Automobile Factory who work three shifts twenty-four hours a day and now have psychological shadows when they see Chopped Pepper Fish Heads.

Overnight, they cleared out all the inventory accumulated over these days, and even owed customers I don't know how many cars. Even now, everyone is still holding number plates and discount vouchers, queuing at the door waiting for cars!

Can't finish building, simply can't finish building!

Even if Ji Jue was well-prepared and started expanding and recruiting like crazy before this, even if there was Isis monitoring and controlling everything, even if the processing outside of automated production was much less than before, it still couldn't keep up with the gap that was further increasing. The Chief Engineer Yan Jian, who was originally pale, now looks like a ghost, and even walks with a float.

As soon as he sees Ji Jue, his eyes fill with tears, asking if this bullshit activity can end before he dies suddenly...

It's as if the wish to resume work for the past sixteen years was satisfied in one breath within ten days... Even if you've been hungry for sixteen years, you can't stand eating like this!

Drought when dry, flood when wet.

Can we still live?

After being suffocated for sixteen years, as hungry and thirsty as Yan Jian, he suddenly had a sense of emptiness of being harvested into medicinal dregs.

He started to be afraid when he saw the factory building.

"Rest assured, rest assured, starting next week, the tricycle production line will be gradually transferred to other acquired factories, and the sub-factory has already started repairs.

Currently, the initial processing work has begun to be assigned to other processing plants, Ye Chun has already gone to talk, just bear with it a little longer."

Ji Jue comforted him earnestly: "Rest will be there, holidays will also be there, don't always be so pessimistic, um, think on the bright side, at least the emergency room and the ambulance on standby are already there!

Moreover, I still need you to continue to take the lead in making contributions to the factory in the future, how could I let you die suddenly?"

"You might as well let me die!"

!.

Yan Jian was weak, life was loveless.

Emotionally, he was still ecstatic because of this violent output, but the rationality of a Sigma man had already begun to regret: "Although the trade-in wave was done very well, it is probably unrealistic to want everyone to buy Cucumbers at the original price now."

"Then don't sell them, we can sell an upgraded version, right? Otherwise, why would the first version design be so shabby?"

Ji Jue turned back and gave him a smile that was no different from a devil, but not at all human: "Moreover, such a large gap in the market won't be filled out of thin air, right?

With so many operational vehicles gone all at once, we can strike while the iron is hot and launch light passenger and micro-truck models, right?"

"You f***ing might as well kill me!"

Yan Jian, upon hearing this, reached out to his belt, determined to follow the example of the third factory manager and perform a "self-hanging on the southeast branch" for Ji Jue.

With the current production capacity, we can't even build Cucumbers, and you f***ing want to expand, what are you going to expand with? Passion and bonds! Isn't the life of a cattle and horse a life too?!

Moreover, even skilled workers need to run-in and adapt.

Ji Jue just sent the team he carefully cultivated to Quancheng to build a sub-factory two days ago at this critical moment of labor shortage.

Currently, there are thousands of people in the factory, and every cattle and horse is being used as a nuclear-powered donkey. Even with extra allowances and overtime pay, everyone is on the verge of collapse.

There really isn't a drop left.

But Ji Jue's plans are one after another, he has completely collapsed, and the cattle and horses are almost unable to take it anymore. The Federation is ultimately about human rights, why don't you go catch another batch of Pals into Workshop No. 0.

To this, Ji Jue could only sigh, helpless.

No way, the current stall is spread too large, labor is tight, and it is already seriously insufficient...

The production of tricycles can be thrown to other newly acquired workshops and factories, but the Cucumber, as the main business at the current stage, can only be carried out by Coast Automobile Factory. Besides that, there are a bunch of troublesome things to solve.

Including the tens of thousands of knock-off small bread vans just recycled.

As the saying goes: there is no trash in the world, only trash collectors who can't find trash.

And Ji Jue is responsible for sending them to places where they can continue to exert their value...

All the recycled bread vans, under Isis's supervision, after experiencing disassembly, quality inspection, diversion, maintenance, recycling, and refurbishment, were then handled by Ji Jue with alchemy to ensure quality, then changed the model and appearance, and then sold as "99% new, used by girls" to the cousins in various settlements.

Buy one and get half an accessory, wholesale can even be discounted.

Under the premise of solid quality, the refurbished knock-off small bread vans once again exerted their residual heat in the wilderness.

The trash collectors in the settlements have their own channels, and they don't mind being second-hand dealers again, and for a time, they were in short supply.

So much so that Chen Yubo, who was lying flat in the ruins of Quancheng, made a fortune again for no reason!

I am a mascot sent by my brother to Quancheng to pick up trash, how did I suddenly become the largest second-hand car dealer in the entire Haizhou?!

The current Second Young Master Chen doesn't even have time to bask in the sun on the roof. Every day, he rides the pink small tricycle gifted by Ji Jue, rushing between various settlements, peddling the second-hand cars Ji Jue stuffed to him, and he can't even squeeze out time to deepen his understanding with young ladies.

Too much money, so annoying.

Damn money, stay away from me!

At the same time, the Yacheng Wilderness Market under Chen Xingzhou's management also began to follow up vigorously. Taking advantage of this east wind, the tentacles and business of the leader began to extend into the wilderness.

For a time, the results were gratifying.

Compared with cities cast by rules and order, this barren and vast wilderness is the paradise of beasts. Under the struggle of natural selection, there are hunting grounds everywhere.

And in the city, along with the trade-in activity, the City Hall also began to exert its strength. Following the environmental protection regulations introduced by Zhongcheng, they issued an initiative announcement for energy saving and emission reduction, commended the new car model Cucumber of Coast Automobile Factory for its contribution to environmental protection, exempted the purchase tax and related fees for related models, and gave certain discounts on fuel supply.

And in the many raw material processing plants and industries controlled by the Tong family, Ji Jue solved the problem of raw material supply at a price of almost eating for free, taking for free, and whoring for free. Drag the payment period as long as possible, give as high a discount as possible, as long as the Tong family's industry can provide it, there is no bullshit, just take it.

Under the support of all parties, both openly and secretly, Coast Automobile Factory began a new round of violent expansion. At the same time, Chopped Pepper Fish Heads sprang up like mushrooms after rain, filling the streets and alleys, and began to radiate toward the southern region of the Federation.

As for the price, it is burning money, burning money crazily, burning until money is not treated as money.

From beginning to end, Ji Jue never looked at the balance of the special funds.

Just a trade-in activity alone almost burned that astronomical figure.

But it doesn't matter...

Burn as much as given, replenish as much as spent, the balance of that special fund is now rising crazily every day.

Even if the losses of Coast Automobile Factory are becoming increasingly serious, if you raise your horizons and look at the entire Yacheng, this deal is absolutely profitable.

Production, deduction, recycling, reuse, all links are thoroughly digested by all links within Yacheng.

The current Coast Automobile Factory is like a gradually expanding vortex, injecting new power into the closed market, pulling and dragging many former enterprises and supply chains, and starting to operate once again.

At the same time, with this exaggerated achievement, announce to everyone:

—Coast Industry, returns again!

December 20, the East City's special action against smuggling achieved complete success, capturing six gangs and over a hundred smuggling criminals, and initiated the litigation process.

December 21, Yunzhou Qingtian Industrial Group announced the abandonment of its military industry business, focusing on people's livelihood and gas supply.

December 22, in the special economic development conference for the southeast region of Zhongcheng, Forward Party member Yu Cheng submitted a proposal and delivered a speech on the theme of local industrial revitalization and support for key industries, winning widespread support and response.

December 25, in the military procurement list of the new Haizhou garrison base, the name of the Coast Group, which had been absent for a long time, appeared prominently.

December 26, the Governor of Chaocheng, Haizhou, delivered a speech, accusing Yacheng of increasingly rampant pollution emissions over the years, and at the same time stated that he would reconsider the trade agreement between the two sides.

December 27, a chemical plant explosion occurred in the suburbs of Yacheng, the accident resulted in the death of six workers on the spot, the chemical pollution area was widely affected, leading to the indefinite stagnation of the third phase of the Coast Automobile Factory project.

Half an hour later, in the settlement of the Quancheng ruins, the Yulou Group station was razed to the ground in the explosion, Lu Feng lost contact, life or death unknown.
