Chapter 42 Buying a Car

December 31st.

The last day of 2022.

A cold wave hit the north two days ago, and the temperature dropped to around zero degrees. Hangzhou is humid, and the wind takes away a lot of body heat, which is undoubtedly a torment for people who are afraid of cold.

Wei Ming was wearing a thin windbreaker with only a warm underwear and shirt inside, and he was not afraid of the cold at all.

On the one hand, he has a strong physique and can withstand this cold.

Second, he is not afraid of catching influenza. For example, last night, the influenza virus that entered his body was swallowed up by Xiao Hei at a rate of 500,000 per second before it developed to a certain scale, and it could not form a scale that caused disease.

And the efficiency of swallowing the virus is hundreds of times that of Xiao Hei before the expansion. Before Wei Ming, if the virus multiplied too fast, Xiao Hei might not be able to control it, and could only rely on the body's immune function to play a major role.

Now he can make Xiao Hei play a major role, and the immune system becomes auxiliary.

It also truly declared that no matter what disease it is, he will be helpless in the future. When encountering an epidemic, he does not need to wear a mask at all.

…

Hemei Community.

Building 16, 204.

In a residential house with four bedrooms and two living rooms.

This is where Wei Ming rented it and made a simple renovation to serve as a "treatment base for kidney stones patients."

"Boss, all the patients are here, waiting for your treatment." Zhang Yue said, holding a form in her hand, standing in front of him.

"How many people came this time?"

"8 kidney stones, 6 gallstones, 2 urinary stones."

"Why are there so few patients with urinary stones?"

"Maybe they think the charges are too high. They only pay a few thousand yuan for endoscopic surgery in the hospital, but we charge 10,000 yuan. The cost-effectiveness is not very high. If the prices are similar, they will probably consider it."

"No need to lower the price."

Wei Ming shook his head: "My treatment is a bit expensive, but the treatment process is painless, the stones are completely eliminated, and you will recover quickly. It is not a loss at all. Those who know how to calculate know that it is better to come here."

"That's what I told the patients. Spending an extra 2,000 yuan and suffering less is a good deal. They just can't get over it."

"Forget it, let's build a good reputation first. Smart people will eventually get over it."

Wei Ming put on a white coat and a mask.

Walked into the south-facing operating room.

In less than two hours.

All patients were treated.

On average, each patient took less than 8 minutes.

Among them, the treatment time for kidney stone patients is only about ten minutes, gallstones is three minutes, and urinary stones is only thirty seconds.

This efficiency is more than doubled compared to before.

A total of 600,000 cash was deposited.

Excluding the wages and commissions of several employees, 550,000 belonged to Wei Ming's personal profit.

So much cash weighed more than ten pounds. Wei Ming put it all in his backpack and went straight to Hefeng Community, not far from Hemei Community.

In 902, Building 8, Hefeng Community, Wei Ming asked someone to help him rent a three-bedroom, two-living room, more than 100 square meters of fine decoration, and moved all the luggage into this community.

This place will be Wei Ming's new residence in the future.

In fact!

With Wei Ming's current net worth, he can completely afford a high-end commercial house.

Not only commercial houses, but also more expensive luxury villas, he can afford them.

And it's full payment!

But...

At this stage, Wei Ming has no plans to buy a house.

He is considering buying a car.

As for the driver's license, he had already obtained it when he was a junior in college, which is almost six years ago. If he doesn't buy a car quickly, this driver's license will be invalidated and he will have to retake the test.

At the same time, he will officially go to work at Sister Fan's "Beauty Club" tomorrow. Because it is in the suburbs, it is more than 20 kilometers away from the community where he lives, and the transportation is inconvenient. Although Sister Fan will provide him with a full-time driver to pick him up and drop him off every day, Wei Ming declined.

He still needs his own means of transportation.

Afternoon!

Wei Ming went to the nearby car city, entered a 4S store, and asked the female salesperson a few questions.

"Is the brand of your store a domestic brand?"

"Yes, Biodi, we are 100% pure domestic cars."

"Which car in your store has the highest configuration and the best performance?"

"It is this Biodi Genghis Khan, a pure electric version, which accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.3 seconds, uses distributed blade batteries, has a range of 650 kilometers, and ultra-fast charging technology, which can be fully charged to 70% in 30 minutes. It can be said to be a cross-era product in electric vehicles. Its launch marks the true arrival of the electric vehicle era and is the most cutting-edge achievement of the energy revolution..."

The female salesperson introduced various features incessantly.

"Uh, what about the price? How much does it cost?" Wei Ming asked.

"The top version is 328,000 yuan, and the basic version is 286,000 yuan. Which one are you considering buying?"

"Let's go with the top version. Can I pick it up right away? I'm going to drive it to work tomorrow."

"It won't be that fast. I'll have to wait at least two days."

"I'll pay more."

"You'll have to wait a day even if you pay more."

"If you pay more, can you drive the car away today?"

"Yes!"

The store manager came over and agreed.

For the next three hours, with the help of the driving experiencer, Wei Ming got familiar with the driving of the test version of the Biodi car. He even went around the city and only violated three traffic rules before he was able to operate it skillfully.

It was a little after five o'clock in the afternoon.

The Biodi Khan that Wei Ming bought was successfully assembled. After paying the money, the car keys were placed in his hands, and a temporary license plate was hung. He could go on the road tomorrow.

However, the temporary license plate can only be used for one week. The local license plate must be purchased by lottery, and the supply is in short supply. The winning rate is said to be very low.

Wei Ming had to call Sister Fan and ask her if she could help solve this problem?

"It's not a big problem. The license plate will be hung on your car within a week." Sister Fan said on the phone.

"Thank you, Sister Fan."

...

Evening.

It was dark and the lights were bright.

On the way back.

Holding the steering wheel in hand.

Looking at the traffic ahead, and then looking at the high-rise buildings next to it and the scenery along the way.

Remembering that today is the last day of 2022.

Many people are looking forward to the New Year's Eve fireworks show tonight and the arrival of the new year.

Wei Ming, who used to have no real feelings about this special day, has a completely different mood today.

"In the past, I was just an ordinary person, a speck of dust at the bottom of the mountain of the times, and could only look up to witness the ups and downs of this era."

"I am not smart enough, not good enough, and not brave, wise and decisive."

"But starting tomorrow, maybe I can become the pioneer of this era and start a legend of my own!"

Wei Ming, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had a bright look in his eyes.
