Jas Ye laughed instead of getting angry and asked, "If you sell this car, how much commission do you get?"
The other person sneered, "I get ten thousand yuan!"
Jas nodded, "Great, you just lost ten thousand yuan."
With that, Jas turned and walked out.
Just then, he bumped into the store manager coming in, whose na tag read "Sales Manager: Timothy Wang."
Jas asked him, "Are you in charge here?"
"Yes," Timothy nodded, "What can I do for you?"
Jas pointed at the salesperson from earlier and said, "You should fire that salesperson. Keeping him here will only hurt your 4S store's business."
The salesperson rushed over and said, "Manager Wang, don't listen to his nonsense. This guy is crazy! He's just a loser coming here to use the internet and air conditioning!"
Jas chuckled, "Whether I'm a loser or not, you'll see soon enough."
With that, he walked out and headed straight to the BMW showroom next door.
As soon as he entered the BMW store, Jas saw the most luxurious BMW 760, the top model of the 7 Series, the most expensive BMW model.
The BMW 760 has a 12-cylinder engine with imnse power, and the interior is extravagantly luxurious.
Feeling a bit spiteful, Jas thought, "Those idiots at Audi look down on ? Fine, I'll buy a top-of-the-line BMW to show them."
After all, he had plenty of money!
So, he called over a BMW salesperson and asked, "Can I take this 760 right away?"
The young saleswoman was stunned, "Sir, this car just arrived in the showroom today. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
"Yes," Jas nodded, "I'm sure. Let's go swipe my card!"
"What? This car costs 2.6 million yuan!" The saleswoman was completely shocked.
She had been selling cars for a long ti but had never seen a custor who walked in and wanted to swipe his card without saying much.
Jas laughed, "I know, I saw the price. Just tell if you're selling it or not!"
"Yes, yes, of course, we're selling it..." The saleswoman said happily, "Please co this way!"
Following her lead, Jas swiped his card, paid, and took the car in one go.
When the 2.6 million yuan BMW 760 drove out, everyone at the Audi store was dumbfounded.
Jas drove the BMW 760 to the Audi store entrance, opened the trunk, loaded his electric bike inside, and then drove off in grand style.
The salesperson who had looked down on Jas was stunned, while Manager Timothy Wang said coldly, "Go to HR and hand over your stuff. You're fired!"
"Manager..."
"Get out!"
The other employees at the Audi store were also shocked. None of them had expected that the guy on the electric bike would be so audacious, buying a 2.6 million yuan car just like that!
The salesperson who had looked down on Jas was filled with regret. Not only had he missed out on a big client and a huge commission, but he also lost his job. If he had known, he wouldn't have judged people by their appearances...
...
Driving the BMW 760 out, Jas felt a bit impulsive.
It wasn't that he was worried about the money; the car was just too expensive. How would he explain it to Mary Xiao?
2.6 million yuan couldn't just fall from the sky, right?
Thinking it over, an excellent idea suddenly popped into his head.
He drove to a roadside repair shop and spent twenty yuan to have the owner replace the BMW 760 badge with a BMW 520 badge.
The 5 Series and 7 Series look quite similar, with the main differences being internal. Most people can't tell them apart from the exterior, relying mainly on the badge.
The 520 is the lowest model in the 5 Series, with average power and handling.
The 760 is the top model in the 7 Series, with imnse power and excellent handling.
Driving the 760 with a 520 badge, Jas thought to himself, "Mary doesn't know much about cars. If I tell her this is a BMW 520, she probably won't recognize it."
The repair shop owner clicked his tongue in amazent, thinking, "This guy looks honest, but he's quite cunning. Intentionally changing a top-of-the-line 760 to a 520, he must be planning to play the pig to eat the tiger!"
...
After buying the car, Jas rembered that today was Michael Wang's restaurant opening, and he needed to prepare a gift.
Thinking of Michael as one of the few college friends who had been good to him, he drove to a large art consignnt shop and spent 200,000 yuan on an early painting by Qing Dynasty artist Huang Shen.
Huang Shen wasn't very famous, so most people wouldn't recognize his work.
The reason for buying such an antique painting was partly to give Michael a substantial gift, but also to avoid letting others know its true value.
He thought, if anyone asked, he could just say it cost a few thousand yuan and get away with it.
By the ti he bought the painting, it was almost noon. Jas called his wife, Mary Xiao, to tell her he would pick her and Linda Dong up at the Dihao Group.
When they t, Mary was shocked to see Jas driving a BMW 5 Series!
She stared at Jas in disbelief and asked, "Where did this car co from?"
Jas smiled, "I bought it for you!"
"You bought it?" Mary was even more surprised, "Where did you get the money?"
"Secret savings," Jas said, "I've been living with the Xiao Family for so long, and I didn't spend a penny when we got married. I've been eating, living, and using the Xiao Family's resources, so it's not strange that I saved so money."
Mary said, "But you should have saved the money for yourself! Why buy such an expensive car? This must have cost around 400,000 yuan, right?"
Jas laughed, "You're my wife. If I don't spend my savings on you, who should I spend it on? A mistress? Besides, you're a director now. Without a decent car, people will laugh at you."
At this point, Linda Dong chid in, "Mary, you do need a more business-like car. This one suits you well. Jas cares about you; you should be happy!"
Mary nodded, feeling very touched, "Jas, thank you!"
Jas gently squeezed her hand and smiled, "No need to be so polite with your husband."
Then he called out to both of them, "Let's head straight to Michael Wang's restaurant!"
Mary quickly asked, "Did you get him a gift?"
"Yes," Jas said, "I bought him a painting."
"A painting?" Mary asked curiously, "What kind of painting?"
Jas said, "An antique painting from the antique street. It's of a pogranate, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. I thought it was nice, so I bought it."
Mary asked, "How much did it cost?"
"A few thousand yuan."
Mary nodded and smiled, "You might have been ripped off! You can't get a genuine antique painting for a few thousand yuan."
Jas laughed, "It doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts."
