His sister had spoken, so of course he didn’t dare to object. Besides, the money belonged to his sister and Chen Xiao. Were they really the type of people to care about 100,000 yuan?
The salesperson hadn’t expected the deal to close so smoothly.
The people in front of him were dressed very ordinarily. The man was wearing a Nike tracksuit.
Of course, many successful people also wore sportswear for comfort, so you couldn’t completely judge a person’s financial status by their clothes.
But as salespeople, they had seen many successful businesspeople, and this man clearly didn’t have that kind of aura.
On the other hand, the unbelievably beautiful woman, though also dressed simply, was like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg when she stood there silently.
Top-trim models of this car weren’t usually the main sellers, so there was one in stock. The salesperson took Zhao Hui to handle the paperwork.
Zhao Xiangjun gave her card to Zhao Hui for the payment, while she and Xu Jia waited for him in the lounge area.
Zhao Hui didn’t stand on ceremony with her. After all, it didn’t matter if the money came from his sister or from Chen Xiao.
As he took the card, however, Zhao Xiangjun said, "Once we’re done here, let’s go check out the Mercedes-Benz dealership!"
Zhao Hui was taken aback. Mercedes-Benz? He knew Chen Xiao had a CLS and his sister had a Wisdom Realm R7. He had no idea what she wanted to do at a Mercedes-Benz dealership.
Noticing his confusion, Xu Jia added from the side, "Xiangjun wants to buy a Mercedes G-Wagen for Chen Xiao, but she doesn’t know anything about gas-powered cars. You should help her decide!"
It turned out that the other day, Xu Jia had seen a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen on the road and remarked, "That’s every man’s dream!"
Zhao Xiangjun remembered that. She asked Chen Xiao about it that night, and once she knew he liked it too, the idea took root.
She had received 32.5 million in dividends from Yino Group for Q3. After transferring 10 million to Chen Xiao, she still had over 20 million left. She thought about buying a G-Wagen for him. Later, Xu Jia mentioned that the G-Wagen was much safer than the Mercedes-Benz CLS, which only strengthened her resolve to get Chen Xiao a new car.
Zhao Hui was shocked at first, then laughed self-deprecatingly.
’He was shocked because a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen costs several million. Then again, while several million was an astronomical figure for him, what was it to Chen Xiao, who controlled assets worth billions? A G-Wagen was just a toy!’
He went to handle the paperwork and pay with the card. He had never spent money so freely in his entire life—440,000 yuan, without even blinking.
’This amount is probably just a rounding error in Chen Xiao and my sister’s fortune,’ he thought.
In fact, on Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun’s system panels, not just 400,000, but even 4 million was now a negligible amount!
He finished the paperwork, asked the salesperson for the location of the Mercedes-Benz dealership, and went back to find Zhao Xiangjun and Xu Jia.
The salesperson was left looking curious. ’Is this customer actually going to buy two cars today?’
While Zhao Xiangjun knew a thing or two about new energy vehicles, thanks to Chen Xiao’s daily explanations, she was completely clueless about gas-powered cars.
This was why she had agreed so readily when Zhao Hui asked her to come look at cars with him today. She needed him to take her to see the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.
Yes, the goal was very clear: they were only looking at the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.
Upon entering the Mercedes-Benz dealership, they found it had lost its former glory.
Although Mercedes-Benz was the best-performing brand among Benz, BMW, and Audi, and Zhao Hui had never set foot in one of their dealerships before, that didn’t stop him from comparing the salespeople here to those at domestic car dealerships.
’The salespeople here have a subtle arrogance,’ he thought. ’I don’t know where their pride comes from. Is it because they’re used to seeing rich people? But you aren’t rich yourself. You’re just providing a service to them!’
"Here to look at cars?" a salesperson asked nonchalantly, still texting on her phone.
Zhao Hui grunted in acknowledgment and led the way into the dealership. The salesperson followed behind, sizing up their clothes without offering to introduce any of the cars.
Zhao Hui walked around, spotted the G-Wagen show car, and said to her, "Tell us about this one."
"Oh," the salesperson said, likely assuming he couldn’t afford it, and gave a cursory introduction using the standard script.
Women and men look at cars differently. Women mainly focus on looks. The G-Wagen’s tough, boxy exterior immediately made Xu Jia practically drool.
She grabbed Zhao Xiangjun and said, "This one! Get it, get it!"
Zhao Hui looked back at his sister. Zhao Xiangjun gave a slight nod. He knew she had her heart set on this car.
So he asked the salesperson, "Do you have this car in stock?"
They actually didn’t; it had to be pre-ordered. The salesperson explained this, and at the same time, she slowly began to realize that these people were genuinely here to buy a car.
Her attitude instantly improved, and her smile became much more frequent.
Still a little worried they didn’t know the price, she "helpfully" reminded them that this particular show car’s configuration cost over 1.8 million yuan.
Xu Jia exclaimed, "So expensive! It really is a toy for the rich!"
The salesperson said with a hint of smug pride, "This is just the starting price. Our dealership has a Brabus G900 that a friend of the owner ordered. Now *that’s* what you call expensive!"
Brabus G900? Zhao Xiangjun had no idea what kind of car that was and looked at Zhao Hui with a puzzled expression.
Given Zhao Hui’s previous income level, an Audi A4 had been his lifelong aspiration. He’d never had the time to research luxury cars that were destined to be completely out of his league.
"Please tell us about it," he could only turn to the salesperson for help.
Brabus is known as the pinnacle of the G-Class. The Brabus G900 in their dealership was equipped with a 6.0L 12-cylinder engine, capable of producing a powerful 900 horsepower and a staggering 1250 Nm of torque.
The Brabus exterior styling was similar in spirit to the G-Wagen, but the body was even more massive and its lines more rugged.
Its overwhelmingly aggressive appearance and exorbitant price made it the top choice for the super-rich.
Driving this car would turn more heads than a Cullinan!
Its safety features were also enhanced to the max.
This car was ordered by a friend of the dealership’s owner for 18 million. It was said to be a limited edition of only 25 worldwide, and they had a hard time getting one.
Now, his friend was having some business problems. On top of that, the bank had called in his loans, causing a break in his cash flow, so he couldn’t take delivery of the car.
Her boss was worried sick. He couldn’t bear to keep such an expensive car for himself.
"Is this car for sale?"
This was the first and only thing Zhao Xiangjun had said since coming in. The salesperson looked at the girl in front of her, a beauty so stunning it was impossible to even feel jealous, and found it hard to believe. ’You want to buy this car? Can you even afford it?’
Zhao Hui frowned. "My sister is asking if the car is for sale."
The salesperson finally snapped back to reality. "With all the fees, this car will be close to 19 million. Are you sure you want it?"
"If we didn’t want it, why would we be wasting our time with you!" Zhao Hui said, a little angry.
’You can look down on me, but how dare you look down on my sister and President Chen? Who do you think you’re looking down on?’
