Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wanhai Car Dealership was located in the suburbs of Shencheng, where land was cheap. The two-story exhibition hall, plus parking spaces and maintenance areas, occupied an area of about 30,000 square meters.
Hundreds of luxury cars were for sale in the garage, covering all the mainstream luxury brands. Because they ordered and declared directly from abroad, their sales price was much lower than 4S stores. At the same time, it also provided the vehicle owner with maintenance services.
For now, parallel imported cars were still a gray area. The most important thing was the issue of getting a license and quality assurance.
Wanhai Car Dealership was able to solve these two pain points, so its business was naturally booming. It was one of the more famous stores in the luxury car sales circle in Shencheng.
Cao Su exited the taxi and walked into the luxurious and bright exhibition hall. Luxury cars were displayed in the hall, giving off an elegant aura. There seemed to be an event going on in the garage today.
The red carpet was laid out, beautiful car models were in front of luxury cars, and guests were holding wine glasses and testing them out.
“Hello, sir! Are you here to participate in our car shop’s bargain?” A salesperson in a suit came forward and greeted him warmly.
Cao Su was slightly startled when he saw the man of medium stature. He shouted, “Brother Tiger?!”
Many students from Jiangzhou University’s software engineering field worked in Shencheng. However, eight years had passed, and everyone had walked their own paths. Not everyone was still working in software.
Cao Su basically did not speak in the group and did not show his face. However, Qiao Tian, who was known as “Brother Tiger” among his classmates, was very active in the group. He often attended class gatherings and posted many photos in the group.
He had only seen last night’s message log in the group this morning: Brother Tiger was chatting with President Wei.
Qiao Tianze looked at Cao Su seriously and recognized this student from Class 1. His eyes glanced at the watch on his wrist, and smiled. “F*ck! Cao Su, I really didn’t recognize you. You’re getting more and more handsome now!”
Cao Su smiled. “That’s not the case.”
Qiao Tianze smiled as he beckoned Cao Su inside. “Our Wanhai Car Dealership is holding a rewards event this weekend! Actually, it’s just a small car show promotion that we organized ourselves. We even invited some models over.
Some of the girls were very hot. Guests could test drive a few sports cars in the exhibition area: There was a Porsche 911, an AMG, and a Maserati. This attracted many sports car enthusiasts from the deep city. Cao Su, you are…”
Cao Su was not used to having his classmates “serve” him. How did Little Wang butter him up last night? He wished he could treat him like an ancestor.
If Brother Tiger became like this, he would feel a little awkward. It was as if he was arrogant when he got what he wanted. He had no enmity with Brother Tiger.
Of course, he didn’t have much relationship with Brother Tiger. She didn’t have the intention of taking care of his business. It was just a coincidence today, so he said, “I saw on the forum that your Wanhai Car Dealership is having an event, so I came over to look.”
“Brother Tiger, you do what you must. Don’t worry about me.”
Qiao Tianze was a little surprised. Why couldn’t someone with Vacheron Constantin afford a luxury car? Then, he suddenly realized that it was probably an idiot. Perhaps Cao Su’s outfit was specially prepared for today. He was a man, after all. He had to have some face outside.
“Alright. The exhibition area is over here!” Qiao Tianze brought Cao Su to the exhibition area, where three sports cars lined up for a test drive. “Let’s get together when we have time.”
His words were very perfunctory. Brother Tiger did not even ask for his phone number. “You go ahead with your work!” Cao Su said with a smile.”
As expected, adults were very pragmatic! The so-called classmate’s relationship was as thin as paper. The true friendship between university classmates was still between the students who got along well with each other and the roommates in the same dormitory. Everything else was useless.
After parting ways with Brother Tiger, Cao Su left the team and strolled around the car exhibition hall, admiring the luxury cars and preparing to buy them.
As for the beautiful car models, the quality of the small-scale car show was indeed high! However, last night, he had spent all his money on Tang Man and Ma Yixuan, the two beauties. He had used up all his ammunition and not a single drop was left. Now was the time for saints to look at beauties like floating clouds.
“Sir, is there anything I can help you with?” Cao Su stopped in front of a white Aston Martin on the second floor for a long time. A pretty saleswoman in a blue uniform came over to greet him with a smile.
This car was beautiful, and the car models beside it were also very nice. The headlamps were long and beautiful.
Cao Su took the Hermes handbag and asked, “How much does this car cost with all the paperwork?”
Seeing that Cao Su seemed to have the intention to buy it, the female salesperson said enthusiastically, “This Aston Martin V8 Vantage was last year’s model. Its classic shape and dynamic waistline make it popular with our customers.”
The landing price was 3.22 million. However, we offer a 20% discount, here at Wanhai Car Dealership, and you can get it for 2.58 million.”
Cao Su nodded.” Yes, I’ll take a look.” The price was slightly lower.
“Sir, how should I address you? I’m Qin Yuhan, a sales advisor here at Wanhai Car Dealership. This is my business card.” The saleswoman, Qin Yuhan, planned to have a good chat with Cao Su. As for the specifics, they had their own ways of talking.
“My surname is Cao,” Cao Su said with a smile.
Qin Yuhan was about to bring Cao Su to the VIP area on the second floor to continue promoting. She saw Qiao Tianze bring two people over. The man was rich, and the woman was beautiful. He eagerly introduced the data of this Aston Martin, and he couldn’t help but be stunned when he saw Cao Su.
Qiao Tianze apologized to his client and chatted with Qin Yuhan for a while before taking Cao Su to a distance to chat privately. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said, “Old Cao, you’re just about there. Don’t pretend to be embarrassed!”
“I’ll give you the car model’s number later. According to the rules of our Wanhai Car Trading Company, two groups of people can bid for the same car. Just take it that you’re convinced by me.”
Cao Su felt a little annoyed.
Brother Tiger seemed to be certain that he was here to mingle. His words were very contemptuous and condescending. It made him very unhappy. Of course, this had something to do with what he had just said. If he had known earlier, he would have shown his cards.
Cao Su did not bother with Brother Tiger. He patted Brother Tiger’s shoulder and said, “Brother Tiger, mind your own business. Don’t worry about me!”
Then, he walked back and asked Qin Yuhan to show him around the exhibition hall on the second floor.
F*ck! Qiao Tianze looked at Cao Su’s back, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression. He saw that Cao Su was an old classmate, so he called him to the side to give him a way out. Otherwise, who would care about you?
Who didn’t know who was doing well? What if your acting is broken later? Qiao Tianze rubbed his face and returned to his smile before he went to entertain his clients.
The pretty Qin Yuhan brought Cao Su around the exhibition hall on the second floor, explaining and promoting along the way.
Cao Su looked around and ordered, “I want this Ferrari 458 and that Bentley Speedster. Go and settle the paperwork for me. “I’m here to test drive this Ferrari.”
Qin Yuhan was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted and said with a smile, “Brother Cao, okay. I’ll go get the documents now. Please wait here for a moment. Oh, let me teach you how to start the Ferrari first.”
Cao Su smiled and said, “No need. How many adult men are oblivious to cars? And how many didn’t know about Ferraris?
He saw that Qin Yuhan didn’t just want to teach him how to start the car, but she wanted to drive with him.
Just as they were testing it out, Qiao Tianze walked over from afar.
