Chapter 100: Chapter 91 Buying a Car (Please Subscribe!)_1

This time, Tang Qing plans to buy a similar car just for casual use, after all, it’s just the start of 2005. Many of his favorite off-road and passenger car models have not been released yet. As for buying a luxury car worth millions, ha, he hasn’t lost his mind yet. Showing off like that doesn’t make much sense, after all, his business and financial resources can hardly withstand scrutiny.

Although he isn’t a civil servant to worry about corruption charges, he can’t prevent a curious person from prying. Therefore, it is best to keep a low profile, too much show-off can easily attract criticism.

If a kid were to drive a car worth millions around, going out and socializing, probably everyone would investigate his background thoroughly.

Once they start to investigate, they will be like ’Hey, there’s content here, bro, let’s share some money-making experiences.’ What? You can’t? Lock him up, squeeze him dry, bleed him, and torture him extensively.

Okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration.

But this kind of risk is really not worth taking. Although it might not hurt him, it’s disgusting.

Moreover, the real bankers he knows keep a very low profile. They hardly appear in the media. Those who appear are mostly professional managers while they make a fortune silently behind the scenes.

Therefore, buying a car worth a moderate few hundred thousand would be just fine. One cannot go cheap. After gaining more strength, one could glorify a little more.

After a while, Tang Qing arrived at Qingyan City where one can buy a car. There are many car dealerships here, after all, it’s just a prefecture-level city. There aren’t many luxury cars worth millions, those luxury cars of that level are only sold in the province city and a few more developed prefecture-level cities within the province.

As for what car to buy, Tang Qing already had a plan. Mercedes-Benz or BMW, forget it. Firstly, they are too flashy, completely a game for nouveau riche. Secondly, he doesn’t like the current models. Having seen a variety of car models, these cars are boring. He would rather buy an Audi A6, both low-key and comfortable, even a leader’s car, going out won’t disgrace it.

He arrived at the Volkswagen exclusive dealership.

Wow... It is packed with people.

At that moment, it’s the New Year’s Day vacation, presumably there are certainly promotional activities, therefore a lot of people are here to see the vehicles, however, most of them are here just to look around.

This resulted in a problem - most people don’t have a salesperson to guide them, every car only has one salesperson explaining to a group of people.

Then...Tang Qing and his companion, of course, have not been treated specially. If they want to hear explanations, they will have to squeeze closer.

Tang Qing and his companion wandered around the hall for a while.

Ha-ha.

He has the feeling of watching a luxury car show in Magic City, no one cares if you don’t ask.

Alright, just look by yourself.

What else could Tang Qing say?

Tang Qing walked around inside with Sun Chao. He didn’t look around randomly because the others weren’t really impressive. In his opinion, only the Audi A6 seemed good here.

Standing next to the Audi A6, Tang Qing nodded satisfyingly. Not bad at all, classics are always items of class. Sadly, his most favorite BMW X6 and several models from the Mercedes-Benz S series were not available. There was certainly no Range Rover Aurora or Cadillac XT5. So the A6 was the only eye-catching car right now.

Now, a female salesperson was hard-selling to a local tyrant adorned with gold and silver jewelry, glaring so brightly that Tang Qing, who was standing by, could not stand it. He sighed within, thinking this was the power of money.

Of course, he couldn’t really despise her. He thinks any money-making job deserves respect, as long as it’s not something shady like robbery, theft, drug trafficking, etc., there’s no difference between high and low, just different professions with different nature of work, serving different types of people. Moreover, what’s wrong with letting go of shame to gain money? It’s rather inspirational, isn’t it? How can you gain without losing anything?

Just like the start of "Mermaid" directed by Stephen Chow where Deng Chao provides an insightful assessment of gold-diggers. These girls have the capital of being young, they exchange their capital for money, there’s nothing disgraceful about it.

Those girls disregard their dignity and humility, accompanying one with laughter and conversation, letting themselves be taken advantage of. Do they really want this? How many women are willing to do this kind of thing, or are they simply driven by life? This is just a standard exchange, okay?

He despises pointless talk like sour grapes and people who talk without consideration the most.

Respect every job, respect the labor of others, think more about their efforts and the bitterness behind it, put yourself in their shoes, foster kindness.

"Hello, can I sit in this car for a try?" Tang Qing walked up and smiled at the salesperson. In his previous life, he drove an A6 too. His previous boss in the produce company owned it. Thanks to Li Kai being a car enthusiast, Tang Qing got to drive the cars he liked. The Lamborghini was only one of Li Kai’s sports cars, he also owned a Porsche and an R8, but Tang Qing didn’t get used to driving them.

"I’m sorry, this gentleman arrived first, so he has the priority to have a try." The salesperson glanced at Tang Qing and her eyes flashed with contempt. She was currently serving this local tyrant. She didn’t want any interruptions.

"Umm... Alright, do you have this car in stock?" Tang Qing said awkwardly, touching his nose. He wasn’t angry; after all, indeed, the local tyrant came first. Regardless of whether what the salesperson said was true or false, he wasn’t interested in arguing. As long as he wasn’t being blatantly discriminated against, he could tolerate it. If he were to stoop to conflict over this, it would be pointless — he didn’t have that much free time to ruin his own mood, especially when any satisfaction from defeating such a person wouldn’t make up for the loss in good spirits.

We don’t do business at a loss.

"Yes, we do. For this New Year’s Day promotion, we’ve prepared quite a few of every model, also..." The saleswoman was enthusiastic as soon as she started talking about this and chatted away non-stop.

But Tang Qing wasn’t interested in hearing her out. As long as the car was available, that was all that mattered. Despite his lack of anger, he wasn’t interested in giving her the commission either.

"Thank you..."

After speaking, Tang Qing turned around and headed towards the reception desk. He planned to find someone at the front desk to quickly complete the paperwork, as he still had plenty of things to do.

Seeing Tang Qing turn and leave without letting her finish, there was a flash of anger and some contempt in the saleswoman’s eyes. She didn’t believe that a young man like Tang Qing could afford to buy a car. She quickly dismissed the thought and resumed her detailed explanation to the local tyrant.

Tang Qing brought Sun Chao to the front desk.

A charming figure stood outside the front desk, dressed in a car dealership uniform with light makeup. She looked to be in her twenties, youthful and gorgeous, quite pleasing to the eye. The key point was her occasional expressions of slight cluelessness, which reminded Tang Qing of his second cousin.

She periodically glanced at the entrance and didn’t approach customers to introduce products. Initially, Tang Qing thought she was waiting for someone. But after noticing her scrutinizing everyone who entered, he realized that she was selectively approaching customers.

A smart woman – that was Tang Qing’s first impression of her.

He didn’t mind it at all. It didn’t matter what she was doing as long as her tone wasn’t like that previous salesperson. Who he buys from doesn’t change the fact he’s buying.

"Miss, hello, I heard you have a black Audi A6 in stock, right?" Tang Qing walked straight up and asked with a smile. With money, he spoke with certain boldness.

"Yes, why?" The charming woman looked at Tang Qing in confusion. She wasn’t convinced that Tang Qing would be buying a car. As soon as Tang Qing had walked through the door, she had sized him up. With a sturdy man in cheap clothes following him, this combination clearly looked like a younger person accompanying an elder on a leisurely visit, hardly likely to afford buying a car.

"I’ll take one then." Tang Qing said, with a casual smile.

"Ah, you... if I may, why didn’t you buy from that salesperson over there?" The woman was only surprised for a moment before regaining her composure, but she was more concerned about this question, which took Tang Qing by surprise. How does this woman’s thought process work?

Well, he was too lazy to ask more questions. Assuming she didn’t want to steal the first woman’s sale, he pictured her as a sincere person in his mind.

"Her attitude wasn’t good." Tang Qing told the truth.

"Hehe, thank you, little bro, for choosing my service." she said cheerfully when she heard Tang Qing’s words. It really felt like she had been waiting for a rabbit to come along. Without doing anything, a customer walked right up to her. This left the two young ladies at the front desk dumbfounded. They had looked down on her for waiting there earlier, but then suddenly a ’rabbit’ walked right up to her. The hardworking salespeople must be very jealous.

"No problem. By the way, aren’t you explaining to customers? Why are you standing here? Aren’t you just waiting for a gullible lamb like me?" Tang Qing couldn’t help but tease her.

"By the way, my name is Dou Jiao, you can call me Sister Jiaojiao. There are so many people here, and the success rate of selling to so many at once is low, not to mention tiring. Rich people prefer individual attention, don’t they? I watch to see who’s likely to have the money, and then I approach them." Dou Jiao explained naturally. Her expression seemed to say ’look how smart I am’. This arrogant expression, coupled with a touch of cluelessness, reminded Tang Qing of his big cousin even more. Although what she said might seem snobbish, when spoken so straightforwardly, Tang Qing didn’t feel uncomfortable. In fact, he found it quite interesting.

"Uh, my name is Tang Qing. Sister Jiaojiao, I never thought that you would be so calculating." Tang Qing joked.

"Hehe, little brother Tang, this is called wisdom, okay? To succeed, it’s more effective doing things with a higher success rate than wasting a lot of energy doing everything — is that wrong?" Dou Jiao said somewhat proudly. However, Tang Qing didn’t find her tone repugnant. Instead, he thought it was very genuine.

"Now that you say it, you’re right. Spraying and praying isn’t a good way to do things. It suggests you lack standards, clear goals, and self-confidence. You’re right, Sister Jiaojiao." Tang Qing acknowledged that he genuinely agreed with Dou Jiao’s words.

"Don’t mention it. Don’t blame me for being cunning — this is wisdom. If you want to succeed, where is the time and energy to do everything? Isn’t it better to focus on the key points? Moreover, don’t you think I have quite the advantage doing it this way?" Dou Jiao’s face quickly switched from serious to playful, leaving a look as if she were asking for a beating. This speed of changing faces — she could really compete with Tang’s older cousin.

"Advantage? What advantage?" Tang Qing played along and asked.

"I’m pretty." Dou Jiao said, raising an eyebrow with a smug smile.

"Sister Jiaojiao, can’t you be a little bit more modest?" Tang Qing rolled his eyes. This woman had some heavy narcissistic tendencies. However, he had to admit, chatting with her was indeed quite entertaining.
