Chapter 97: Chapter 96: Tools to Highlight Financial Power
3 p.m.
Chen Na walked out of the Maserati 4S Store hand in hand with Shen Yuan.
Just monts ago, they had paid in full for a white MC20, which after discounts, cost a total of 2.73 million.
And Shen Yuan had also received a return of 8.19 million from the System.
With that, his available savings had reached 25.75 million.
The store didn’t have the white MC20 in stock, but the salesperson promised to arrange for one, which would arrive tomorrow; however, since tomorrow was Saturday, they could only get the license plates on Monday, so they planned to co back and pick it up then.
“Shen Yuan, let drive. You’ve been driving for over two hours today and you accompanied to buy the car, you must be tired,”
Chen Na said softly by his side.
“Sure, give you a chance to perform,”
Shen Yuan patted Chen Na’s perky rear, causing her face to flush red, “People can see us here.”
“Let them see, let them be envious,”
Shen Yuan looked at the pretty face beside him, which at the mont radiated sweetness and a hint of shyness. Indeed, a woman nourished by love was more charming than usual.
Chen Na got into the driver’s seat of the Defender, buckled up, and asked, “Do you want to go back and rest for a while?”
“No, let’s go straight to the rcedes-Benz 4S Store,”
Chen Na was slightly startled, “Huh?”
“Are you going to buy a rcedes?”
Shen Yuan nodded, “Yes, I’m thinking of changing cars.”
He just happened to have 5 million in car buying funds, so he intended to get a new car to drive.
But the main reason was still to accumulate prestige.
Over at the entrepreneurial base, Shen Yuan didn’t put all his hopes on Fu Yingzi.
Even if he pushed the Youth League and the school to promote it more aggressively, it wasn’t likely that many senior or junior female students would want to co and start businesses. Being a post-millennial himself, he was well aware of the contemporary youth’s mindset; most people prefer to take it easy rather than trying to earn more money.
Especially in an international campus like theirs, where everyone is focused on enjoying life. People like Fu Yingzi are actually rare.
If entrepreneurship couldn’t attract them, Shen Yuan thought why not let a top-tier wealthy and handso guy attract them? Naturally, the more eye-catching the car, the better.
Driving luxury cars to show off wasn’t Shen Yuan’s style, but he had no choice, the System wouldn’t allow him to remain low-key.
The Defender was sowhat lacking in this regard; many girls didn’t even recognize the Land Rover logo. However, rcedes was different—99% of people recognize the rcedes emblem.
This ti, Shen Yuan’s target was the G63.
The Benz G-Class, with its classic rugged exterior, was very conspicuous on the road and also had a high head-turn rate.
Shen Yuan had considered buying a supercar, but those were too cramped and not conducive for activities with Coach Liew or the class belle in the future.
Maybach and Bentley were too business-like; driving one made you feel like a chauffeur.
Of course, when his business and wealth are more solid in the future, he will need a chauffeur, but there was no need for that just yet.
Moreover, Shen Yuan also liked driving himself.
For Shen Yuan now, a car was not just a ans of transportation, but also a tool to showcase his wealth.
Of course, before driving the G63 to the international campus, he needed to make a bit of a splash to attract more attention.
While driving, Chen Na couldn’t help but glance at Shen Yuan a few more tis. After all, they had just bought the Defender not long ago, and now they were switching cars again.
Chen Na dared not imagine just how much wealth Shen Yuan had.
But these past few days, she had truly experienced the advantages of being wealthy. Not only could her material life be greatly improved, but she could also significantly enhance her parents’ living conditions.
Chen Na had also reconsidered from another angle—that if Shen Yuan were just a normal 21-year-old college student and visited her ho, her mother Yooi Shufen might have a lot of criticisms.
Such as “too young, immature, unable to take care of people,” or “no financial stability, cannot provide the life you want,” or “young people are emotionally unstable, you will get hurt,” and so on.
But being a multimillionaire totally changed the ga.
When mother Yooi Shufen looked at Shen Yuan, she saw him through rose-colored glasses, unable to see any age-related flaws, only focusing on and magnifying his good qualities.
She even urged her to hurry up and have children with him.
The tolerance ordinary people have for the poor versus the rich is completely different—that’s the harsh reality.
The rcedes-Benz 4S Store was not far from the Maserati 4S Store. Chen Na quickly drove to the storefront. She had a colleague who had switched from Land Rover to rcedes, so she had called that old colleague in advance.
“Nana!”
Just as they got out of the car, a professionally dressed female sales associate approached them with a smile.
“Xiaoi.”
Chen Na waved to her. Xiaoi used to get along well with her. Last year when Xiaoi left Land Rover, they had kept in touch occasionally and referred clients interested in buying cars to each other.
Basically, those buying luxury cars would check out several brands.
“Allow to introduce, this is my boyfriend, Shen Yuan,”
Chen Na introduced them generously. “Shen Yuan, this is my forr colleague, now a sales associate at rcedes, Xiaoi.”
“Hello, Shen Yuan.”
Xiaoi nodded slightly, with a smile. She had heard from a forr Land Rover colleague that Chen Na’s boyfriend was very wealthy and even opened a café for her.
This high-quality custor coming to see the G63 ant a high likelihood of making a sale, and she desperately needed a deal this week to stabilize the situation after not having any sales.
“Hello.”
Shen Yuan gave her a brief glance. Though her na included the character for “beautiful,” she was not on par with Chen Na in terms of looks or figure.
Reality isn’t a novel, after all; it is not possible for every woman you et to be a beauty.
“Just take to see the cars, and then let’s arrange a test drive.”
Shen Yuan cut straight to the chase.
“Alright, please follow .”
Xiaoi gestured with her hand and led them to the center of the showroom, where a glistening black Benz G-Class was displayed under the soft lights, shimring even more prominently.
Shen Yuan liked the rugged exterior of the G-Class. The front grille was of a cascading design, flanked by geotrically shaped large headlights, while the body showcased distinct, sharp lines, giving it a retro yet classic look.
“Mr. Shen, let give you a brief overview of the G63’s features. It has a 4.0T V8 engine, permanent four-wheel drive, maximum horsepower of 585, and it can accelerate to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds. It also cos equipped with 15 Burster speakers, 64-color ambient lighting…..”
Xiaoi tirelessly explained to Shen Yuan.
Such custors definitely require exceptional service. After all, luxury cars aren’t exclusive to rcedes-Benz; there are many other brands, and with such intense competition, it’s easy to lose potential sales to other dealerships.
She had also been awarded the Service Star of the store. Experience had taught her that sotis custors chose to buy from her not just because of the vehicle, but partly due to the enthusiastic service throughout the sale.
After all, Star City had more than one rcedes-Benz 4S Store, and many custors would check out several dealerships, so this was also a ti to compete through service.
Actually, Shen Yuan was already quite familiar with these specifications, but out of politeness, he did not interrupt and listened while quietly experiencing the car.
Shen Yuan tried the car door and found the crisp “bang” sound produced upon opening it pleasing; both closing and opening felt sharp and crisp.
Well, a car with a price tag of over three million certainly had its unique features compared to others.
Shen Yuan rembered that the G63 was known for price markups, often increasing by several hundred thousand. He wasn’t sure about the current situation, so he asked, “Are there any promotions for the G63 now?”
Xiaoi smiled knowingly, “Mr. Shen, there are indeed no promotions. However, G63 is now sold without markup, with no mandatory optional equipnt or bundled products. We are offering it at a fair price.”
“The store will include so additional premium accessories, and besides, as Nana’s boyfriend, I will give you a personal gift upon completion of the purchase. Would that be alright?”
“Uh, sure.”
Shen Yuan nodded.
It seems the G63 had fallen from grace; the days of markup by eighty thousand were gone.
With the rise of dostic cars, which squeezed the market for these imported luxury vehicles with higher configurations, better performance, and lower prices, how could they compete?
How dare they increase the price now?
After quietly experiencing the vehicle, Shen Yuan said, “Let’s arrange for a test drive.”
“Okay, I’ll register you. Your driver’s license….”
“…..”
Twenty minutes later, after the test drive, Shen Yuan wasn’t overly impressed. Overall, the car was average; although it was a V8 with 585 horsepower, truth be told, the response to the accelerator was slightly delayed.
But it was still acceptable, as the purpose of buying this car was to serve as a sort of mobile mascot, sowhat like a watch, though the impact of a luxury car was obviously much stronger on college girls than a watch.
“Do you have it in silver in stock?”
Shen Yuan asked after getting out of the car.
He had seen the silver color online and preferred that color.
Xiaoi was very familiar with the inventory and imdiately replied, “We don’t have silver. Currently, only the display model is available, and there is one black model in the warehouse. However, I can check with our other stores in the group to see if any are available and if we can arrange to have it brought here.”
“Good, check on that for first.”
After that, Xiaoi invited both to sit in the VIP negotiation room and arranged for tea before she went to the sales office to coordinate with their managent.
Ten minutes later, Xiaoi returned to the VIP negotiation room and said, “Mr. Shen, the group has one silver model in stock, but it is equipped with a carbon fiber steering wheel, leather armrests, and AMG Night and Sports packages, dual-color Nappa multifunction steering wheel…..”
“Because it cos with these options, the price will be 200,000 more. Would you like it?”
“If not, I can inquire further for a model without these options or perhaps we could order one,” she offered.
Shen Yuan shook his head, “No need, let’s go with this one.”
The carbon fiber steering wheel and these sports components were exactly the features Shen Yuan wanted.
“Draft the contract, I’ll make a deposit today and pay the remaining amount when picking up the car.”
“Ah…”
“Okay!”
Xiaoi took a deep breath to calm her excitent and then turned to retrieve the contract from her office.
My, it hadn’t been long since they started looking, and he was already placing an order!
She was so envious of Nana for snagging such a top-tier catch!
The base price of the car with options was 2.75 million, plus the purchase tax of 243,000 and a luxury car tax of 275,000 mandated for cars over 1.469 million, totaling 3.268 million.
Additionally, the insurance was to be settled based on the policy, with the first year’s premium estimated to be between 40,000 and 50,000.
After signing the contract with Xiaoi, Shen Yuan made an initial deposit of 100,000, with the final paynt to be made upon vehicle delivery.
After completing all the paperwork, by just after 5 PM, Xiaoi smilingly escorted them from the showroom to the Defender, then watched as the Defender drove out of sight before returning to the store with a spring in her step.
She thought today would be another uneventful day, but happiness ca so suddenly—a G63 order sealed so quickly!
She also felt a bit emotional, rembering how she and Nana had worked side by side, and now Nana had found such a wealthy boyfriend.
This was a 3 million car!
Tsk tsk….
Too bad for her, she was already married.
Oh, to have married too soon…
