Chapter 533: Putting It All Together
Since a traffic accident has occurred, the first thing to do is to call the police, wait for the traffic police to come and assign responsibility, and then contact the insurance company to tow the car.
Pei Jin overtook the rear of the car in front, so he was judged to be fully responsible and needed to bear all the losses of the other vehicle's repair.
There are generally two ways to deal with this. The first is to entrust it to the insurance company, which will handle the matter and subsequent compensation issues. This takes a relatively long time and requires a lot of procedures.
The second way is for the car owner to settle the matter privately after negotiation. That is, you give me a sum of money and I use it to repair the accident myself, and then we are even between us, and there is no need for the insurance company to intervene.
The first option is often used when the compensation is high and the owner of the vehicle at fault cannot pay it.
The second option is the difference between the compensation amount and the insurance premium for the following year.
Insurance companies usually have regulations that if a vehicle accident is involved and a claim is made in the current year, the insurance premium to be paid in the following year will increase accordingly.
After weighing the pros and cons, some car owners will choose to pay a small amount of money for private chat in order to maintain a low insurance premium. Overall, it is still profitable and much more cost-effective than going through the insurance company.
But Pei Jin did not consider the necessity of saving expenses and being thrifty to save money.
He chose the second option simply because going through insurance was too time-consuming and embarrassing.
It’s not much money anyway. At worst, I can just compensate him with a Wuling Hongguang.
As for the Lamborghini I bought myself, the maintenance fee may be as high as more than 200,000 yuan.
Thinking of this, Pei Jin felt depressed.
"This car is unlucky!" Young Master Pei said with certainty.
How could a car that caused him to rear-end the first time he drove it be a good car?
It's useless after repairing it, just let it gather dust in his garage!!!
As for such stupid things as those domineering and overbearing CEOs who just waved their hands and said "I'll give you my car as compensation", even someone as stupid as Pei Jin couldn't do it.
All cars are registered and each car has a driving license. How can you just transfer it to someone else with just a few words? This is illegal!
If you want to donate a vehicle, you need to go to a designated location to go through the registration and transfer procedures, and the recipient needs to pay the corresponding taxes based on the value of the vehicle.
Pei Jin's car costs more than 30 million yuan, and the tax alone is an astronomical figure.
Even if he dared to give it, the other party didn't have the ability to accept it.
After this experience, Pei Jin completely gave up the idea of showing off and never mentioned again that he drove Bai Yuan around the street.
Just sit in his business car and put your life safety in the hands of the skilled private driver. The young master will just be responsible for sitting in the back seat of the passenger seat and keeping watch.
Pei Jin: "Who among the classy people drives themselves? This is classy!"
Bai Yuan: "..."
However, in this way, there is no need to worry about him hanging out with those young masters and going to private racetracks to play some life-threatening racing.
Long before Pei Jin learned to drive, many people had already begun to urge him to participate in racing competitions. Pei Jin, who was very easy to fool, was so excited that he dreamed at night of becoming a famous racing driver and enjoying the cheers of everyone.
He completely ignores how many people become high-level paraplegics, vegetative states, or delete their accounts and restart their jobs every year because of their pursuit of excitement.
Are these people pushing Pei Jin to do such a dangerous thing because they want to harm him? Are they trying to get rid of him out of jealousy?
neither.
It all comes down to one word.
It’s all for money.
That's called a gambling car.
The water here is deep and the profits are considerable, and Pei Jin is a man who is willing to spend money, so every move he makes is a big one.
His car must be equipped with top-level configuration, the most expensive among the expensive, the most luxurious among the luxurious.
Whether you bet on him to win or lose, it's very profitable.
Everyone knows that Pei Jin is generous and is the best money-giver in Haiqi City.
If this young master is pleased, he might just slap his thigh and give them this luxury car with top configuration as a reward! ! !
As for Pei Jin's life or death, that was not within the consideration of these gamblers.
Since he dares to play such a dangerous game, it means he is skilled, brave and not afraid of death. If he can take part in the game, it means he does it voluntarily. No one can put a gun to his neck and force him to risk his life.
If something really happened and the car was destroyed and people died, what would it have to do with these spectators?
How about Pei? Pei should also be reasonable!
Therefore, this car accident completely extinguished the desire to play with cars. For Pei Jin, it was a blessing in disguise, with no harm and benefit, and he completely bid farewell to a hidden danger to his personal safety.
The driver's license that Pei Jin had just obtained for less than half an hour was therefore hidden away by him and ended up being stuffed in the bottom of a drawer.
It is only once every few years that the certificate will be seen again for a brief period of time.
The sophomore year was different from the freshman year in that it went relatively smoothly without any major events.
After balancing the student union work and personal progress, Bai Yuan made steady use of the first two years of college and successfully completed all college courses and knowledge in his sophomore year. He even took advanced studies in graduate-level subjects in advance, laying the groundwork for a successful handover to the company.
As time went by and she got closer to turning eighteen, Bai Yuan could more clearly feel the change in the attitude of the people around her towards her.
It’s okay for people of the same age. They can still spend the last period of peace together before they actually enter the workplace, take over the family business, and engage in intrigues and calculations for the interests of each family.
In contrast, it was the elders who had already entered the workplace and had made a place for themselves in the business circle and capital camp of Haiqi City who began to test Bai Yuan more and more frequently.
Speculating her faction, testing her views and actions on the company after taking over the company, and spying on her investment and the general direction of the company in the next few years...
Only by knowing which way the wind is blowing and which direction it should blow can you make a fortune in the storm.
These are all fine and relatively within an acceptable range. They are also tools that Bai Yuan can use to release information, conduct reverse reconnaissance and layout.
These temptations, whether sophisticated or superficial, usually come from Bai's partners or competitors.
The business world is like a battlefield, where there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies.
One emperor and one courtier.
The friendly companies that cooperate with Jiang Zhi may not necessarily continue to cooperate with her, and the original competitors may also become Bai's new partners and helpers.
Compared with these worries coming from outside the Bai family, the crises and dark clouds within the Bai family are even more serious.
After all, after Bai Yuan came to power, the first ones to bear the brunt of the impact were those "old people" who had "devoted themselves" and "dedicated themselves" to the Bai family.
At the same time, more and more voices were heard by Bai Yuan intentionally or unintentionally...
……
……
Bai Yuan’s birthday is the Double Ninth Festival, which is the ninth day of the ninth month of every year.
As a native of Beijing, Bai Yuan is also very traditional and only celebrates his birthday according to the lunar calendar.
Anyway, the lunar calendar is always after the solar calendar, and the difference between the two is not too big, especially in occasions such as declaring adulthood at the age of 18. There is no need to consider the ridiculous situation that one's birthday has passed but one is still a minor in the legal sense.
On Bai Yuan's legal birthday, a large dinner ceremony will be held in Haiqi City to mark his coming of age.
At that time, all the celebrities in Haiqi City will be invited to attend the banquet, officially sending the signal that the eldest daughter of the Bai family can intervene in capital operations.
On the lunar birthday, he would return to Beijing to hold a birthday party and invite all his childhood friends, family members, etc. in Beijing to attend, in order to activate his network and consolidate the Bai family's position in Beijing.
In this way, neither side will be delayed and both can be taken care of.
As for the engagement ceremony of Bai Yuan and Pei Jin, it will be held on another day after Bai Yuan returns from Beijing, and will not all be held on the same day.
For a family like the Bai family, which stands at the top of the class, it is very shoddy to squeeze all the days worthy of banquets and celebrations into the same day.
This is a bit like the Western aristocracy's rule that "the same dress cannot be worn twice on formal occasions". This is to prevent other families from misunderstanding that the host family is in a financial crisis and that the assets they have are no longer sufficient to support a large family to hold various large-scale banquets multiple times, and that they need to rely on "grouping together" to cut expenses and save money.
This will affect investment, cooperation, judgment, and other aspects of evaluation. It will also bring bad atmosphere to the family, and in serious cases, it will send wrong signals to the market, causing an economic crisis across the country.
Therefore, it is very important to make the scene adequate and hold enough banquets and celebrations.
If you can separate them, don't force them together.
It would be best if there were banquets to be held every day of the year.
As for the imperial city like Beijing, where there are many things to say and things to pay attention to, and where identities are sensitive and it is easy to commit problems of discipline and principles, there is always a solution that can have the best of both worlds.
For example, like Bai Ou’s birthday party that year, he would go to a manor in the suburbs and invite everyone behind closed doors.
If I, as the organizer, am not in compliance, then do you think you, as a participant, can withstand inspection?
We are all in the same boat, so just know that's what it means. There's no need to take it too seriously, and no one will really make a fuss about this unspoken rule.
This is the case in Beijing, let alone in Haiqi City, where the Bai family has been rooted and operating for nearly twenty years.
As long as it's not a new city where both sides are still wary and alienated, and where the two sides are not familiar with each other and have shallow roots, there will be no big problem.
In other words, if such a large banquet had been held in Haiqi 20 years ago, it would definitely have been criticized and would have affected the reputation of many parties.
Now that everyone has shared the melons and cakes, people will be more reluctant to say anything.
Early September.
Bai Yuan returns to Haiqi City for school start.
There are still two months until he turns 18 and becomes an adult, which is enough time to make preliminary preparations.
The banquet list has been preliminarily finalized. They are basically people from the same circle. At the very least, their families are the new rich who have made a fortune from the dividends of the times in recent years - the nouveau riche.
Most of them are large families that have a place in Haiqi City and hold the right to speak.
Bai Yuan rarely hesitated when it came to whether he should add his roommates to the list.
On the one hand, she had never encountered anything similar in her past growing up experience.
Meng and her went to the same school. Their families were either rich or noble. They were essentially insiders, so she could just invite them with her eyes closed, without having to consider issues of identity and class differences.
But college is different.
For the first time, students from all over the world broke through class differences and gathered in the same room. It was okay for someone like Zhang Aiwen who had seen some big scenes.
But for a middle-class family like Yu Wen, or even a well-off family like Zhao Jiajia, being invited to a banquet may become a psychological burden for them.
In their opinion, they did not know anyone except Bai Yuan, and as soon as the banquet began, Bai Yuan would shuttle around the venue and engage in meticulous and thoughtful interpersonal communication. It was impossible for him to stay by their side the entire time and help them alleviate the embarrassing issues of etiquette, rules, and unspoken rules they faced at the banquet at any time.
The gap in money and status will also bring them serious psychological pressure and burden.
Even if you are excited at the beginning, after the excitement wears off, you will feel uneasy and embarrassed, or even feel dwarfed by the gap.
The consequence of breaking into a world that does not belong to you is either to stand out from the crowd, or to stand out from the crowd.
Now it is obvious that the country is like a sheep among wolves, so Bai Yuan would not find it strange even if there is panic.
Compared with the psychological gap, the luxurious banquet dress that Bai Yuan could easily make with just a flick of her fingers was easier to deal with.
After careful consideration, I decided to leave the choice to them and not force them to make the decision.
For Zhang Aiwen, this banquet was an important opportunity for her to get closer to the Haiqi circle, which was also what she had been working hard to do. Naturally, she accepted it with pleasure and ordered several dresses and luxury jewelry for it.
Although she wanted to package herself well, she also remembered that this was Bai Yuan's coming-of-age ceremony, so she would not surpass her in product selection specifications, colors, and luxury.
After considering it over and over for a month, Zhao Jiajia and Yu Wen finally made up their minds and decided to make full use of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the world.
It’s not in vain that I get to know Bai Yuan, a young lady from a top wealthy family.
A few days later, Bai Yuan sent them clothes that were of the same standard as those for the banquet, so that they would not be criticized for their clothes.
Everyone who comes to the banquet is a person who knows how to treat others well. It is very likely that they will flatter Bai Yuan when he is around, and then mock him as soon as he leaves.
There aren't many people with such crazy brains, but they do exist.
In short, in order to prevent unnecessary accidents or bad things from happening, we still have to do our best to be perfect in these small details and try our best to prevent all possible accidents from happening.
Late September.
Bai Yuan finished his morning classes as usual.
The next day was National Day, so Bai Yuan took a rest early in the afternoon. He didn’t plan to stay in school for long, so he planned to take this opportunity to visit Bai’s company and get to know the people there in advance.
It was a scorching sun. As soon as he walked out of the school gate, Bai Yuan saw a lot of people wandering around the school gate, causing a small commotion.
