The next day, before Qian Quan and his father set off for Pearl Town to look at cars, he secretly called his cousin.
His cousin had opened a car parts shop in Pearl Town and also worked part-time at a local Automobile Trading Center as an intermediary, helping connect customers and handling the purchase of used cars.
"Hey, just be honest with me. If I have a budget of 150,000, what's the best value-for-money car I can buy from you right now?"
"Didn't Uncle say the budget was 100,000? Why is it 150,000 now? Even if you've added an extra 50,000, there's no need to be in such a hurry," his cousin laughed.
"Never mind what my dad said. Just tell me, with a budget of 150,000, which car can get you the highest commission and give us the best value?"
"If you buy from me, don't worry about my commission..."
"That's impossible. When we buy from you, on the one hand, we want to avoid pitfalls, and on the other hand, we want to boost your performance."
