Chapter: 3980
"Two thousand..." The other party said uncomfortably. "If you're going to come pick up the car tomorrow, two thousand yuan would be fine, but it's key that you want to leave until next month's 15th... At that time, our boss might not agree to keep it for you."
"Why?" Vivian was a bit unhappy and blurted out, "I've already paid the deposit, so I'll definitely take the car. He's just afraid I won't buy it, right? Even if I don't buy it, the two thousand yuan will be his anyway. What else does he have to worry about?"
The other party said helplessly, "Ah, you don't understand the ins and outs of used cars. Every car in our showroom is our boss's genuine gold and silver brought back by him. The capital cost is very high. Let alone collecting a five- or six-figure sum from the car, just the daily maintenance cost would be hundreds of dollars. By the time you pick it up, the capital cost alone would exceed two thousand yuan, regardless of who buys it. Of course, for our boss, it's always better to sell quickly."
He went on to say, "Accepting ten thousand yuan as a deposit serves several purposes. On one hand, it gives us a chance to get some blood back from the dealership. On the other hand, you know that our boss has a gambler's mentality. The more you bet, the more he'll want to take your chances of not being able to pay the down payment in full. This way, he still has the opportunity to make ten thousand yuan from you."
Vivian roughly understood the underlying reasons and thought for a moment before speaking up, "Alright! Ten thousand it is! I've already got my bonus out, so I'll definitely get paid next month. Give me your account number and I'll transfer the money over."
The other party warned with a good-natured tone, "Brother, you should remind yourself that you need to confirm by the 15th of next month before picking up the car. Otherwise, if you default on the agreement, those ten thousand yuan will be gone down the drain."
Vivian thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can't we extend it until the 20th of next month? That way, I'll have time to respond if anything unexpected happens. Sometimes our group's finance department also takes a few days to issue paychecks."
"It's no problem." The other party replied readily, "The ten thousand yuan deposit, I can keep it for you until the last day of next month."
Vivian let out a sigh and smiled, "That's perfect then! That way it'll definitely be foolproof."
The other party went on to say, "Alright then. I'll give you our company account information. You transfer the payment first, then record a video saying clearly that you voluntarily pay ten thousand yuan as a deposit for this car and agree to pick up the car by the 31st of next month before paying the down payment in full. I'll write out the script and send it to you later, along with the car's chassis number and engine number. You can read it off during the video recording."
Vivian was surprised and asked, "Is that really all there is to it? Don't I need to go sign some papers at your dealership?"
The other party smiled and said, "Nowadays, most transactions are video-based, including banks and securities companies, which require customers to record their own videos. This way, it's simple, convenient, and low-risk for both parties, ensuring mutual benefits."
"Okay." Vivian agreed, saying, "Then send me the script, I'll record a video for you."
The other party quickly sent him a set of scripts.
He took advantage of the pause to run into the mother-child room at the mall and recorded the entire script.
Not only that, but he also showed his identity documents throughout the video recording process as requested by the other party.
It was clearly stated in the script that he himself was willing to pay 10,000 yuan to the car dealership, reserve this Porsche 718, and settle the remaining 20,000 yuan payment before the end of next month. He would also complete the insurance at the store to fulfill his obligations.
The penalty for breach of contract was also simple: if he failed to make the final payment within the deadline, the 10,000 yuan deposit would be used as compensation to the car dealership.
Since both parties' responsibilities and the chassis number of this car were clearly stated in the video, it had already acquired legal effectiveness.
Subsequently, he sent the video to the other party, who confirmed there were no issues before providing him with the car dealership's account information.
He immediately opened his mobile banking app and transferred the 10,000 yuan from his card.
It was due to the content of the video agreement that, when he transferred the 10,000 yuan to the other party's account afterwards, this agreement would be considered as having taken full effect.
Subsequently, he took a glance at his bank card balance and found it had only 6,000 yuan left, causing him to feel somewhat despondent.
However, thinking about receiving a 30,000 yuan commission in the next month and being able to get his most coveted Porsche 718, he suddenly became extremely excited again.
He knew that from this moment on, he would be counting down the days, and the 15th of the next month was going to be a big day for him - he would receive his first car in life, and it would be one he had long been yearning for. JrNovels.com
