One Hundred and Fourteen: 00,000 Level? Cabbage Price! (26/40)

"Link, why don't you just buy a car."

The day after the Nuggets game, after practice, Randolph, as always, chatted with Link in the locker room.

Although Link pranked Randolph only yesterday, Randolph also took revenge on Link on the spot. But everyone is not hurt, they are all people who can make a joke. Once the joke is over, no one will be angry about it, everyone is like nothing has happened, just for Tu Yile.

"Buying a car? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Link replied to Randolph while receiving a massage from the trainer. Now Link needs to relax his muscles, because he will stay later to practice a set of three-point shooting and a set of confrontational layups.

"It's inconvenient for you to take a taxi to and from get off work every day. It's dark after training every day, and the streets are not safe. In Memphis, you should be careful at night. Besides, you are the one who beat Cameron. Anthony and the starlet who was selected for the All-Star Rookie Game, it's impossible to say without his own car."

"Um..." Link nodded, Randolph made some sense.

The United States, especially a not too prosperous city like Memphis, undoubtedly reflects the characteristics of vast land and sparsely populated.

Before crossing over, Link lived in a small third-tier town in China. But at 90 o'clock in the evening, the streets were still lively and bustling, with taxis everywhere.

But in Memphis, after Link's daily rehearsal, the streets felt pretty empty. There are fewer pedestrians and fewer vehicles. Sometimes I can't wait for a taxi for a long time, so I have to wait for a while.

The FedEx Arena is located in the downtown area, and the situation is not bad. The residential area where Link lived was really empty when he woke up in the morning.

bus? nonexistent. Memphis' public transportation system is not comparable to that of Los Angeles and New York, and it is not comparable to China's. Few people take the bus in the area where Link lives, and the main customers who take the bus are the poor, students, the elderly and the disabled.

Bus service in Memphis is low, with buses in poor condition, dirty, and worn out. The frequency of the car is low, once every half an hour to an hour. Many bus lines take time to travel through the city several times slower than driving by yourself. Link has only taken the bus twice since he came to Memphis and never dared to try it again.

Therefore, when Link got up in the morning, he would either go for a morning run to a bustling place to get a taxi, or call for a taxi. In short, how come it is inconvenient. Speaking of which, he really missed the time when Upshaw honed his horn downstairs on time every day in Oklahoma.

Randolph's proposal really interested Link. But unfortunately, the Grizzlies have to play a game with the Bucks at home tomorrow, and there is definitely no time to watch the car. So Link decided to visit the car shop the day after tomorrow.

The next night's game, the Grizzlies played lightly. The Bucks' opponent is of average quality. "The King" Jennings was also guarded by Conley and his shooting percentage was only 35.3%. The Grizzlies won without pressure.

This is the second game that Link has started instead of Gay, and his performance is still excellent. Although not as amazing as the 26 points in the last game, the performance of scoring 19 points in 7 of 10 games was enough. Together with 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Link was once again highly praised.

After the game, Link didn't even feel very tired. Some time ago, after fighting against strong teams such as the Lakers, Thunder and Nuggets in a row, after getting used to the intense intensity and rhythm, Link suddenly felt extremely relaxed when he suddenly played the Bucks.

After returning to the locker room, Link started planning to see the car tomorrow. He invited Randolph to go with him,

Randolph readily agreed. Then, Link called his manager Jeff Austin and asked him if he had any advice.

As a result, Jeff Austin's answer left Link speechless, "You can buy anything you like, this is not an investment, and there is no risk. If you really don't know which car to choose, buy all the cars you are struggling with. Come on. Anyway, it's just a little money."

"Worry, it's just a little money... I bought all of them..." Link pouted, buying a car is a big expense for most ordinary Chinese families. What's more, it's still 2011. starter

In the United States, although buying a car is not a big deal, it doesn't mean buying a car. Some young people are even moved to tears when they get their first car.

But in Jeff Austin's mouth, buying a car is like buying instant noodles, just take whatever flavor you want... Enough? Get a few more packs...

Link has also heard that the price of American cars is much cheaper than that of China, but Link has not really studied how much cheaper. So when he got home today, Link turned on his computer and searched the Internet for car prices.

I don't know if I don't search it, but a search really surprised Link.

This is simply the price of cabbage! Especially in terms of Link's salary level, there is no need to worry.

At first, Link searched for some ordinary family cars. As a result, the price ranged from a few thousand to more than ten thousand dollars, which was cheap anyway.

After that, Link dared to search for some relatively luxurious cars.

The Ford Mustang is considered to be a "diaosi sports car" in China, but the starting price of this car is more than 300,000 yuan. Link took a look at the price in the United States, 20,000-50,000...

Afterwards, Link took a look at several luxury cars from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi that cost 700,000 to 800,000 yuan in China. The results of it? Prices are in the range of $60,000-$100,000.

Finally, Link searched for a Range Rover. This car sells for millions of RMB in China, which most ordinary people can't work hard for in a lifetime.

As a result, the US price starts at 89,500... In other words, now Link directly buys a Chinese million-dollar luxury car without any pressure.

American cars are cheap, and it's not just a matter of conversion rates. Even if the dollar is converted into renminbi, it is still cheaper in the United States than in China. The price of the same car in the United States is basically only about 60% of that in China.

Part of this is due to various taxes, but there is also the problem of "a lot of money for stupid people". People set a high price to sell it in China, and the result is very good, so naturally it will not be lowered.

Seeing that the car that he could never afford in his entire life is now only at the price of cabbage, Link can't help but sigh. No wonder those football stars buy thousands of cars, and they buy a garage...

The next day, Link and Randolph went straight to the sales floor after training. At first, Link wanted to buy a Ford Mustang. After all, it looks handsome and has good performance. It is suitable for young people.

But later, Link found that his height of 2.03 meters was not comfortable to sit in such a car with a low site. It seemed that he could hit his head with a bump, so he could only give up.

In the end, Link chose the Land Rover Range Rover, a car that starts at 1.22 million yuan in China.

Range Rover is famous for its large space and strong off-road capability. Land Rover is a standard British brand, and even the Queen's **** is a Range Rover. For most people, it really is a symbol of money and power.

However, for Link, it was not painful to buy it at all, it was just a means of transportation.

"How is it? I said that this kind of car is more comfortable than a sports car? It has more space, good vision, and strong power." Randolph sat in the passenger seat and looked at the interior of the car. starter

"It's alright, that's all." Link said alright, but in fact his heart was already happy. There are many luxurious configurations of this car that he has never seen before.

No wonder Randolph used to lend himself his Mercedes so casually, because those cars were nothing to him. After all, since the 05-06 season, Randolph has already started with an annual salary of tens of millions.

After buying the car, Link took Randolph for a spin on the streets of Memphis. I have to say that after owning a car, the range of activities is much larger and will no longer be limited by inconvenience.

Also, Link himself is someone who enjoys driving after all. Driving is also a hobby for him.

The day after buying the car, Link drove his new car to training. You don't have to worry about not having a taxi and you don't have to wait. You can go out whenever you want. The feeling of freedom is really cool.

But in training today, Link always felt that Randolph was hiding a knife in his smile. As a result, after the training, Link finally knew what medicine Randolph was selling in his pocket.

After training in the afternoon, Link went to the parking lot and opened the car door, and he was stunned. Because his car was stuffed with popcorn!

The next second, Randolph and a few teammates ran out of the corner, taking pictures with a mobile phone in his hand, recording Link's surprised expression.

Link sighed silently. Before crossing over, he had seen some videos of rookies being groomed like this. In NBA teams, this is simply a "reservation program" after a rookie has been on the team for a while.

I just didn't expect that Link would actually have this day.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for today for a long time! Link, now we're even!"

The whole underground parking lot was filled with Randolph's laughter, the guy, I really don't know whether to call him childish or crazy. The happiness of a man is sometimes so sandy.
