Chapter 84: Stunning spending
Chapter 84: Stunning spending
Perhaps aware of Ling Qingyu's inner psychology as one would expect in an experienced salesperson. Chief Liu introduced eloquently and with fervent passion.
"Ladies, this beast is our newest model for the sedan class Flying Spur 2023." The group got closer to the vehicle and studied its outlook.
Although Athena had already spoken into their ears through the glass, it was a different feeling, hearing a salesperson's portrayal.
Everything he said contributed to raising the outlook of the vehicle. 4-seat sedan powered by twin-turbo W-12.
With 12 cylinders under the hood, 626 horsepower allowed the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to more than 60mph within 3.5 seconds.
This vehicle possessed eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The fuel consumption was indeed not small for a luxury type.
As Chief Liu explained, Athena drew pictures and displayed animation on their glasses to ensure Ling Qingyu's trio understood better.
The cabin inside was decked out in Bentley's customized best wardrobe of leathers, woods, and metal trimming.
Ling Qingyu was reading the papers handed out by Chief Liu, scanning those statistics related to its specifications.
Even though most wouldn't understand, Ling Qingyu had no such problem. Athena's contribution cleared away and added new knowledge for her.
To be honest, this was the first time she had seen a sedan having an eight-gear transmission. A whole new world weaved before her eyes.
It was incredible to see the acceleration rate of this beast. If Athena further upgraded the engine and studied some technologies from the vehicle, her knowledge base might expand.
No further words were needed as she signaled Chief Liu, she was buying this Bentley. Chief Liu's attitude instantly became more welcoming.
"There're several versions of Flying Spur, Miss. Which one do you prefer?" Chief Liu handed out another paper and Ling Qingyu took a look at it.
"What do you think?" Ling Qingyu also whispered and her secret eyes movement were immediately noticed by Athena.
"Go for the most expensive one," Athena said to her.
Ling Qingyu understood the reason and she agreed with Athena's viewpoint. "I'll choose the one on display, Flying Spur Mulliner version."
"It'll cost 8 million yuan." Chief Liu replied with excitement.
"How many do your showroom currently have for this type.?
"Only one." Chief Liu showed his index finger weakly. "But you can pre-order everything here."
Ling Qingyu understood why there was only one available, just by looking at the price. The vehicle cost nearly 8 million yuan due to its upgraded version, compared to the ordinary one of 4.5 million yuan.
Was the increase in price really worth the upgrade? Ling Qingyu could attest to Athena's words—not at all.
True, the comfort level and the specifications were incomparable but to give more money merely for this mediocre upgraded version wasn't worth the percentage increase.
However, Ling Qingyu spent happily as Athena could modify this beast later on. Plus, the technology inside for Athena to study was well-spent.
Nonetheless, for the wealthy family who possessed huge sums, they weren't bothered by the increased cost.
"I'll order three—all of their paints should be black." Ling Qingyu's voice ushered in silence across the room.
The salespersons were initially flabbergasted but quickly regained composure as envy rosed amongst the crowd.
Chief Liu's smile beamed like sunshine at the oncoming commission to his wallet in the future. Not one but three and the small percentage belonged to him solely.
His lips smirked as others shot jealous looks. His grin grew wider.
Ling Qingyu drew out the black card from her bag and handed it to Chief Liu. Until the machine confirmed the payment, Chief Liu was relieved and carried on introducing the service system for any future maintenance.
24 million spent without any reluctance, the gap between the rich and poor was unthinkable. The others patted their heart in silence.
Ling Qingyu nodded blankly but in her mind, she was thinking no need. "So, I can drive this beast out?"
Chief Liu nodded with a smile. "It's all ready and set. You can pick up and drive. Before that, let us prepare everything you need, Miss Ling. Please wait for 30 minutes."
Ling Qingyu agreed and went outside, followed by her partners. Tang Ziyi's controlled excited appearance brought chuckles out of her.
"Don't worry, I bought 3 of them and you can pick one." Ling Qingyu waved her hand like a good elder sister taking care of the younger ones.
Tang Ziyi's mouth twitched but she ignored Ling Qingyu's remarks. Anyway, it wasn't her loss. Xiao Yue covered her mouth, smiling at the interaction.
Ling Qingyu came out of the Bentley showroom and entered another under the Mercedes brand. The staff responsible for welcoming customers was immediately delighted.
This time she was aiming the vehicles for the workers in her manor. After searching through the advertisement leaflets and Athena's explanation, Ling Qingyu decided on three types: sedan, wagon, and van.
Ling Qingyu made a payment for 12 Mercedes Benz, almost popping the eyes of the staff. She bought 6 Maybach-class sedans, 4 V-class vans, and 2 E types wagons. Altogether 11 million yuan.
Afterward, Ling Qingyu wrote down her manor's address and requested the company to deliver the vehicles to it. Mercedes's salespersons were glad to oblige.
The staff snickered at Bentley's pathetic situation as it seemed Ling Qingyu only visited the saleroom and didn't buy, not realizing Ling Qingyu had made payment.
The misunderstanding brew between the showrooms. The rest also thought Ling Qingyu only went in and came out within a small amount of time.
Ling Qingyu departed and entered another showroom. Jaguar brand where there were more collections of cars inside.
She acted in the same style—watched the leaflet and listened to Athena's advice. Along with her requirements, she selected a specific car and requested them to send these cars to her address. 30 sedans and 10 wagons.
Gasps of air flew across the hall at the massive scale of sales but salespersons were happy. Another 9.7 million yuan gone.
Volvo went through the same process and Ling Qingyu bought 10 SUVs and 10 wagons. 8.5 million yuan went away.
Range Rover also suffered the same treatment. 20 SUVs— 60 million yuan without hesitation.
Finally, at the next destination, standing in front of the BMW showroom, Ling Qingyu had no idea why she felt these cars weren't as beautiful as the rest and only purchased 10 of them—5 sedans & 5 wagons. Another 7.8 million yuan
All of the models she bought were the latest 2023 and every car had black paint. She found this color majestic and suited her taste. Tang Ziyi and Xiao Yue were also blinded by the Ling Qingyu's merciless expenditure. A whopping 121 million yuan was spent.
One might mistaken Ling Qingyu as some sort of gang member if all the sea of cars she bought were taken out.
An hour later, Ling Qingyu returned to the Bentley area where the vehicle was already available waiting for the owner to take a ride.
As soon as she saw everything was ready, Ling Qingyu thanked the staff and opened the driver's door but someone held her shoulder preventing her from entering.
Ling Qingyu turned her head and saw Tang Ziyi's smiling face. Her eyelids twitched. Please, not again.
She heard Tang Ziyi say. "Sister Xiao, you take my car and follow this vehicle. Athena, help Sister Xiao as much as you can."
Ling Qingyu tried to struggle but to no avail. Her strength was no match for the iron grip.
Tang Ziyi pushed Ling Qingyu into the backseat and slammed the door shut. She smiled at the group of people and entered the driver's seat.
Soon, with the roar of the engine, the black Bentley rushed in front of the Cadillac and the two left the scene a few minutes later.
The discussion went viral after Ling Qingyu's group left. Each brand proudly declared they had sold off until they realized Ling Qingyu bought in all of the showrooms she visited.
Comparing their sales, BMW salesperson was speechless at their sales number while Range Rover beamed with joy. On the other hand, Chief Liu of Bentley had a speechless expression.
To think that he had a head start, he was wronged. At the same time, everyone must salute Ling Qingyu's outrageous spending ability.
