33: Chapter 33 Buying a Car
Ai Shanshan had asked her about many cars before, and not everyone she brought in would actually make a purchase.
Some people would come over and then make up temporary excuses to pick out various faults.
Like suddenly not being satisfied with the color!
Or the configuration being too low, and so on...
Despite these thoughts, as a luxury car sales manager, it was standard procedure for her to say the right things to the right people.
Otherwise, her position would have been taken by someone else long ago.
The automatic doors slowly slid open, and the sunlight shone on the classic ferrari Prancing Horse logo, sparkling and dazzling the eyes.
"Hello, sir. Welcome to ferrari."
A soft yet professional voice came from the side.
Li Luo looked over to see a quite attractive woman walking toward him with a smile. She wore a black suit, and her hair was neatly tied back.
As expected of a top-tier luxury car dealership; her figure and looks were both top-notch.
He glanced at the name tag on her chest, which read: Sales Manager Gong Li.
Li Luo couldn't resist casting Insight Technique on her.
[Name]: Manager Gong Li
[Age]: 29
[Height]: 167 cm
[Weight]: 56 kg
[Overall Beauty]: 81
[Privacy]: 76
[Intimacy]: 10
[Status]: Married, no children
『System: Bind?』
Huh.
Li Luo was a bit surprised. Although he had heard some rumors online, seeing the System's rating still startled him a bit.
One could only say she truly lived up to being a sales manager.
Furthermore, he hadn't expected it could even detect her marital status.
But the System's next prompt left him a bit speechless. Did it even need to ask? Obviously, he wouldn't bind her.
『System: Bind?』
Hearing the System's repeated prompts, Li Luo could only roll his eyes.
"Don't bind."
"Hello, sir. May I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Li."
"Hello, Mr. Li. That ferrari sf90 model you had Shan Shan inquire about just arrived two days ago. Please follow me."
Li Luo scanned the room. There was no one else in the showroom; he was the only customer.
A few saleswomen were sitting together, chatting.
Li Luo was instantly drawn to the three different ferrari models in the center of the showroom, displayed on rotating platforms like works of art.
The spotlights shone down on them, making every curve of the car bodies look powerful.
One of the models was exactly the white ferrari sf90 supercar Li Luo had seen online.
Li Luo followed Manager Gong Li toward the display area and arrived beside the ferrari sf90.
Manager Gong Li then began her introduction.
"The ferrari sf90 is powered by a 3.9T V8 twin-turbocharged engine. The engine itself produces a maximum of 780 horsepower, with a combined system output of up to 1000 horsepower. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, with a top speed of 340 km/h."
"The Gurney flap at the rear, combined with the front splitter and diffuser, can significantly improve the vehicle's stability during high-speed cornering."
Li Luo looked at the eloquent Manager Gong Li. She really was a sales manager!
It wasn't easy to remember the performance specs of a car in such detail.
"Would Mr. Li like to step inside and experience it?"
"Sure."
He opened the door and sat down. Instantly, Li Luo felt himself enveloped by the carbon fiber seat.
Everywhere his eyes landed exuded an explosive aesthetic.
Gripping the carbon fiber steering wheel, excitement was written all over his face. The space was a bit cramped, though; no wonder people said luxury cars looked good but weren't necessarily comfortable to drive.
However, this model surprisingly didn't have scissor doors.
At that moment, Manager Gong Li squatted by the door and continued her introduction.
"Mr. Li, this SF90 is almost entirely made of carbon fiber, and the configuration is top-tier. If Mr. Li is not satisfied with this setup, you can re-select the options, but delivery would be delayed."
Ai Shanshan walked up. "Mr. Li, what do you think? Or would you like to re-select the configuration?"
Li Luo didn't know anything about luxury car configurations. Since Manager Gong Li said it was already top-tier, why bother changing anything?
He wanted to drive it away today. If he re-selected everything, who knew how long it would take for the car to arrive.
"I'll take this one. What's the price?"
"Ah?" Hearing this, the three women were all a bit stunned. So fast? Did he think he was buying groceries?
Seeing the three of them silent, Li Luo asked Manager Gong Li.
"Why are you spacing out? I'm asking you the price of this car."
"Ah, oh..." Manager Gong Li truly was a sales manager; she had seen her fair share of big scenes after all.
She reacted quickly, saying, "Because this SF90 is a limited edition, the on-the-road price is 8.2 million huaxia coins, including all taxes. Since the configuration is top-tier, the price is a bit higher."
Li Luo heard 8.2 million and thought it was indeed not cheap.
"Any discounts?"
Li Luo wasn't a sucker. If there was a discount, why wouldn't he take it?
He wasn't like those super-rich protagonists who just swiped their cards and got upset if there was a discount, wanting to spend more money instead.
"The most I can do is round down the change for Mr. Li!"
"Alright then, I'll take this one. Where do I handle the paperwork?"
Hearing Li Luo be so straightforward, not only were the other saleswomen watching the commotion stunned, but even Manager Gong Li, the sales manager, was a beat slow to react.
Ai Shanshan hurried forward and asked.
"Young Master Li, don't you want to take it for a test drive?"
Li Luo looked at Manager Gong Li.
"Is there anything wrong with this car?"
"No, no. Shan Shan just meant for you to get a feel for it."
"Then there's no need. I'll have plenty of time to feel it out once I buy it. I'll take this one. Swipe the card!"
As he spoke, Li Luo took out a China Construction Bank card.
Looking at the bank card Li Luo handed over, Manager Gong Li reached out to take it, looking at the card in her hand with some doubt.
Shouldn't it be a Platinum card or a Gold card?
Even if there was money in this card, could it actually swipe such a large amount?
Li Luo saw her expression and knew what she was wondering. He had asked the System before coming because he was also afraid of a transaction limit.
The System told him to use it with confidence; this card had no such thing as a limit.
Li Luo didn't feel the need to explain.
"Then Mr. Li, will you be paying in full or taking a loan?"
"What loan? I'm paying in full. Just swipe it, don't worry."
Seeing him say this, Manager Gong Li said no more and led Li Luo toward the checkout counter.
The other saleswomen nearby saw that this gentleman had only been there for a few minutes before saying he'd pay in full for this eight-million-yuan ferrari.
Their eyes all turned burning hot as they looked at Li Luo, as if they wanted to swallow him whole.
"He bought it just like that? Has he even been in here for five minutes?"
"When my mom goes to the market to buy cabbage, she still compares three different stalls."
"That's why your family has no money."
"If only I could be his mistress, why would I even work this crappy job?"
"Mistress? Didn't you see the two beauties following him? Is it even your turn? You're really dreaming here."
"What's wrong with having two women around him? Are we that bad?"
"Besides, someone that rich can't possibly have only two women. Who knows what number in line they are."
The female salesperson said jealously.
