CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64 MASERATI

Lishui City is not far from Celestial Sea City, and influenced by the surrounding industries, it has developed quite a few related sectors, so its economy is doing quite well.

With a strong economy, naturally, there wouldn’t be a lack of wealthy people in the city, which creates a demand for luxury cars.

Lishui Tianjun Maserati is one of the only two Maserati dealerships in Lishui City, offering sales services for the full range of Maserati models.

Li Jing and Huang Jun had already arrived outside the Maserati store, and Zhang Ling had followed along under the guise of learning.

The Maserati showroom, apart from being quite large, didn’t have any extraordinary features; instead, it was the two rows of Maseratis of different colors and styles parked at the entrance that caught the eye.

"This is the first time I’ve seen so many Maseratis."

Huang Jun exclaimed softly with surprise, his demeanor cautious and slightly subdued by the wealthy aura of the place. He instinctively took half a step back, sticking close to Li Jing.

While Zhang Ling appeared more natural than Huang Jun, the subdued smile on her face still revealed her inner restraint.

Though she had seen many clients in luxury cars coming to view homes before, it was her first time entering a luxury car showroom as a customer herself.

More importantly, she didn’t have the means to buy any of the cars here.

"Hello sir, welcome to Lishui Tianjun Maserati."

As soon as they pushed the door open, a man in a well-tailored dark blue suit quickly greeted them with respect: "May I ask if you’re here to look at cars?"

"Damn, I thought luxury car sales were supposed to be hot chicks."

Seeing that the greeter was a male salesman, Huang Jun was a bit disappointed: "Originally, I was expecting to see beauties of the caliber of Manager Zhang, but it’s a guy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling raised her eyebrows slightly at the compliment, but quickly added: "Coach Huang, you’re kidding. In front of President Li, I wouldn’t dare to call myself a beauty. President Li must have seen plenty of beautiful women."

Saying this, Zhang Ling secretly glanced at Li Jing’s calm expression before continuing: "Actually, in luxury car sales, men are more common, not only because traditional views see men as more fitting for car sales, but also because their credibility in automotive expertise is generally higher. However, over the years, the number of female luxury car sales agents has gradually increased."

Though Zhang Ling couldn’t help but mention him in conversation, Li Jing didn’t pay it too much mind. Nevertheless, her explanation did help dispel the same misconception he and Huang Jun shared.

But looking at the male sales agent in front of him, he still felt that having a woman serve him would be more enjoyable, so he directly said: "Do you have any female sales staff? I’m a fan of beautiful women."

"Um..."

The male sales agent was stunned for a moment, evidently not expecting Li Jing to ask this right off the bat.

However, he quickly recovered and replied: "We do have a female colleague here. If you’re seriously considering purchasing a car, I can call her over for you."

Noting how the focus was placed on whether he was buying, Li Jing straightforwardly clarified: "Since I’m here, I’m definitely looking to buy. If your service is good, I’ll place an order today."

Hearing this, the male sales agent’s expression slightly changed, and he immediately showed more respect: "Alright, please wait a moment."

Watching the male sales agent walk away, Huang Jun’s eyes were filled with admiration as he sighed: "Wow, having confidence makes all the difference."

Meanwhile, seeing Li Jing’s differing attitudes towards male and female sales agents, Zhang Ling’s eyes shifted slightly as if contemplating something.

Not long after, a young woman in professional attire came hurrying over, her face full of smiles: "Hello, may I ask if you’re looking to buy a car?"

"First, tell me about the models you have available as stock."

Li Jing knew that some car models weren’t in stock, and even if purchased, they’d have to wait for the manufacturer to deliver them.

Originally, the excitement of buying a car is at its peak on the purchase day, but it gets forcefully delayed for several months.

Li Jing had heard that some luxury cars might take a year or two, and when the car finally arrives, the buyer no longer even feels like driving it.

So, Li Jing’s first criterion for buying a car this time was that they had to have it in stock.

Upon hearing this, the female sales agent didn’t appear troubled by Li Jing’s request. Instead, she was pleasantly surprised, increasingly convinced that he was seriously here to buy a car.

A seasoned sales agent can, after chatting briefly with a customer, generally judge whether they’re genuinely here to make a purchase.

There’s a significant difference in both language and demeanor between customers who are serious about buying and those who are just browsing.

Thinking of this, the female sales agent’s smile grew even more enthusiastic as she explained: "Currently, we have in stock several popular models, and even for some of the less popular models, we have a store in Tianhai, so we can arrange to transfer them from there."

As she spoke, the female sales agent walked into the showroom, gesturing to the several impressive Maseratis parked inside, and asked with a respectful smile: "Sir, are you interested in a sedan, SUV, or sports car?"

"I’ll pass on the sedans and SUVs. Show me the sports cars you have in stock."

Since he was buying a Maserati, Li Jing naturally wanted a sports car that would turn heads.

If the appearance is too ordinary, it’s better to go for a Benz or BMW.

Not to mention, buying a sports car means more beauties taking pictures next to your car.

Upon hearing this, the female salesperson’s eyes lit up. Although the price of a Maserati isn’t entirely related to its model, most sports cars aren’t cheap.

Hearing Li Jing’s choice, she was thrilled. Although his attitude was a bit indifferent, every time she asked about his needs, his answers were exactly what she wanted to hear.

This situation is like a dream come true for her, the perfect sales experience she always wanted.

If all clients were like Li Jing, she wouldn’t mind being warm to a cold shoulder, or even an icy one for that matter.

Not only did the female salesperson’s enthusiasm keep growing, even Zhang Ling, who had been silent behind Li Jing, was starting to brighten up, feeling more and more that coming along was the right decision.

If the real estate market were still as prosperous as before, she probably wouldn’t have gotten so involved with Li Jing, maybe just left a contact number.

But now, with the intense pressure on performance, she didn’t want to miss any potential client, so she came along with Li Jing to try her luck in buying a car. To her surprise, she seemed to have found a treasure.

Although Li Jing hasn’t confirmed buying a car yet, based on his confidence and attitude towards the salespeople, Zhang Ling, who has been in real estate sales for years, could clearly sense that Li Jing genuinely planned to buy a car and genuinely didn’t care about the price.

Zhang Ling’s eyes subtly glanced at Li Jing’s profile in front, realizing her performance might just rely on him this time...

"Mr. Li, this Maserati GranTurismo offers powerful horsepower and vigorous performance. Not only does it accelerate rapidly, but its stylish and dynamic appearance will also make it the focal point on the street. Its luxurious interior and high-tech features provide a top-notch driving experience. Mr. Li, do you like this model?"

Upon seeing the salesperson walk over to a sports car for introductions, Li Jing was instantly attracted by the model.

The front features the iconic vertical waterfall grille, complemented by sharp-looking headlights on both sides, creating a highly aggressive visual effect. The body lines are smooth with a fastback design, coupled with shark gill vents on the front fender and large wheels that catch every guy’s eye at first glance.

Not just Li Jing, even Huang Jun and Zhang Ling behind him couldn’t help but brighten their eyes, amazed by this model.

Huang Jun couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, "This is so cool! I dream of getting off from a car like this. Absolute 100% head-turn rate!"

Li Jing didn’t even have a regular daily car before, and now, faced with the visual impact of this Maserati GT, he didn’t have any other thoughts in mind, just one word: buy!

Just like a man who had never touched a woman, suddenly a stunning beauty throws herself into his arms; he wouldn’t even care to distinguish the differences between this beauty and the others, wanting nothing more than to immediately embrace her and unleash his male hormones.

Although Li Jing was already moved, he maintained his composure and asked, "How much for this model?"

Seeing him ask about the price, the female salesperson knew this car had already piqued his interest. She immediately replied courteously, "The 2024 model is priced between one million to over two million, depending on the selected configuration. Mr. Li, although this model is a bit pricey, I assure you..."

"This is the one."

The salesperson still wanted to use her years of experience to persuade Li Jing to place an order, but as soon as she mentioned the price, she was cut off, leaving her momentarily stunned.

"Wha-what?"

Confused and surprised, the salesperson asked, "Mr. Li, did you just say... you’ve decided to buy this one?"

"Yes." Li Jing calmly looked at her, "Is that not okay?"

"Ah, yes, of course!"

Upon confirming his answer for the second time, the female salesperson widened her eyes and nodded excitedly, as if she had heard the most wonderful sound.

He just bought it!

Mr. Li is simply my dream client!

If every client were so straightforward, my anxiety would be cured!

The female salesperson even started thinking about her social media post: The perfect client healed my mental exhaustion.

After calming down, the female salesperson quickly regained her professionalism and spoke with even greater respect, "Mr. Li, I still need you to accompany me to the configuration room to finalize your selections."

"Great, lead the way."

Watching Li Jing and the salesperson walk towards the configuration room, Huang Jun stood there blinking, slowly turning to Zhang Ling beside him, and said in a daze, "Did he just say he decided to buy it? That quickly??"

And Zhang Ling, with her eyes showing varied expressions, casually replied with a "Yes" before hastening to catch up with Li Jing.

She was now certain that Li Jing was the premium client she needed to go all out for!
