CHAPTER 104: 102, SHOCKING! IS LUOFENG GOING TO BUY A FERRARI LUXURY CAR?

"Alright, watch me perform."

Luofeng nodded, bypassed the crowd, and walked towards Duanmu Yunji at the Ferrari exhibition stand.

But just as he was about to approach, he discovered someone had already started hitting on Duanmu Yunji.

"Hello, I’d like to understand the performance of this Ferrari model." A young man wearing a white T-shirt and gold-rimmed glasses, looking somewhat like a business professional, inquired of Duanmu Yunji.

"Hello, sir, what would you like to know?" Duanmu Yunji politely asked.

"Oh, let me introduce myself. My name is Li Jiahao, the general manager of an entertainment company in Capital City," Li Jiahao introduced himself.

When Luofeng heard the words ’entertainment company,’ he immediately thought of Lu Yaqing. But it seemed her company wasn’t this one.

"I just want to ask if there are still any purchasing restrictions on the Ferrari 488 Pis?"

The Ferrari 488 Pis, with its exceptional exterior, had become a top-selling market hit upon launch. As a result, car salespeople had come up with many purchasing restrictions, such as Ferrari membership status or a Ferrari purchase history. Over time, as people had more luxury car options and competition increased, these restrictions gradually disappeared. Instead of markups, there were now discounts.

Duanmu Yunji shared what she knew, saying, "If you book the 488 at the car show, we will offer some gifts, including a car cover worth 100,000 yuan and three years of maintenance for up to ten kilometers, and so on."

Li Jiahao considered for a moment before responding, "Since there are no purchasing restrictions, I am quite interested in the 488. Add me on WeChat. I’ll go over to Lamborghini next door to have a look, and then make my final decision."

Duanmu Yunji inwardly scoffed, instantly seeing through Li Jiahao’s little trick. He just wants to add my WeChat, that’s all.

Luofeng also saw through the man’s flirting tactics. With this approach, what’s next? He’s probably going to state his conditions on WeChat, right? Buy a car and get a car show model? Oh, wait, there are no car show models now. So, buy a car and the salesperson comes with it? No wonder people say luxury car stores go through female salespeople so quickly. After all, with every car sold, a saleswoman in black stockings is gone. Even a multitude couldn’t withstand such a loss. Wait, are male salespeople also used up quickly then?

"Actually, sir, our car..." Duanmu Yunji began, feigning concern that he might not choose their Ferrari as she attempted to change the subject from his WeChat request.

"It’s not that your cars aren’t good; I’m saying I want to take a look at others before making a decision," Li Jiahao said, exasperated. Is this woman playing dumb, or is she really clueless?

"Sir, why don’t you learn more about our Ferrari 488? I think you’ll choose our model," Duanmu Yunji said, still appearing very concerned that he wouldn’t pick their car.

Li Jiahao responded with disbelief, "I still need to understand some discount information. Just add me on WeChat for now. You can compile and send me all the related information via WeChat."

"Oh, and our Chumeng Entertainment Company mainly scouts internet celebrities. I think you have great potential, and perhaps there could be a chance for us to collaborate."

Having said that, Li Jiahao threw out this bait.

"Chumeng Entertainment Company? Scouting internet celebrities?" Luofeng blinked. I’ve heard of this company. Didn’t I help Liu Hanyan win a championship recently? I even received a Danger Warning Card from it, which helped save Lin Wanting’s daughter. During that live broadcast, I witnessed a live-stream fail. An internet celebrity known as Qing’er had her real appearance exposed, leaving her sponsors in tears. Around five feet tall, with looks that would score in the sixties... it seemed that Qing’er was from this very entertainment company.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!"

Unable to hold back, Luofeng stepped forward, his coughing drawing the attention of Duanmu Yunji and Li Jiahao.

Seeing Luofeng, Duanmu Yunji’s eyes lit up. She knew this Luofeng was a Yin Yang master, the kind whose words could infuriate people to the point of surrender. That man on the plane last time, for instance, had practically been defeated by Luofeng’s Yin and Yang skill.

"Mister, are you looking to buy a car or just trying to get this lady’s WeChat?" Luofeng strode up and, without mincing words, directly unleashed his Yin and Yang skill with a soul-piercing question.

Duanmu Yunji almost burst out laughing. Truth be told, she had no desire to deal with this man who wanted to recruit her for his internet celebrity company, likely intending to control her or become her ’sponsor.’ She’d seen through his intentions long ago. Heh, this Luofeng! He really is a Yin Yang master, hitting him with a soul-piercing question right off the bat!

Facing Luofeng’s blunt inquiry, Li Jiahao, though secretly annoyed, replied patiently, "My friend, I’m genuinely here to buy a car, not to flirt. It’s a car worth over four million, after all. It’s only reasonable to want more information, isn’t it?"

Seeing this, Luofeng stated directly, "It’s just a car. What parameters can’t you find online? If you were serious about buying, you would’ve already researched the specs and information."

"UGH!" Li Jiahao was left speechless. What Luofeng said made so much sense. Li Jiahao had no comeback. If you really wanted to buy a car, you indeed would have checked a lot of information online beforehand.

Luofeng casually picked up a car model brochure. "Here, all the information about this car is in here, down to the last detail, nothing is omitted. Take a look, and then make a decision!"

Li Jiahao naturally did not reach for the brochure. His target was Duanmu Yunji, not a Ferrari with a base price of four million.

"I say, young man, whether I buy a car or not, what does that have to do with you?" Finally unable to bear it, Li Jiahao’s expression turned cold as he looked at Luofeng.

"Normally, whether you buy a car or not would indeed be none of my business. But I want to buy a car now, and you’re just standing here blabbering. How am I supposed to talk to the salesperson?" Luofeng’s implication was clear: if you’re not buying, get out of the way. Why monopolize the salesperson?

"Oh? You’re buying a car?" Li Jiahao sized up Luofeng.

Although Luofeng was dressed in many designer brands and even wore a Patek Philippe wristwatch worth a million, Li Jiahao only recognized the designer clothes.

"Yeah, I’m buying. You got a problem with that?" Luofeng chuckled, retorting.

"Then go ahead and buy. No one is stopping you. But just a heads-up, young man, this is a sports car with a base price of around 4.2 million. With various options and purchase tax added in, it should be about 5.8 million to get it on the road."

Six million might not sound like much. But frankly, having it and spending it on a car are two different things entirely. Many people can produce six million, especially in Capital City, where around 300,000 individuals have total assets of that amount. But how many of them can actually afford to spend it on a car? Never mind affording it; even if we consider those who could withdraw six million in cash, would there still be 300,000 such people in Capital City? Moreover, even if you had six million in cash, would you spend it all on a car?

In 2020, Ferrari sold just over 800 cars in the entire Dragon Country. Among them, 95% of Ferraris had an on-road price below five million. As for the 20 million Divine Car, the Ferrari LaFerrari? Anyone still hyping this model in this day and age is a complete keyboard car god, utterly clueless about the progress of time. The Qing Dynasty ended long ago. The Ferrari LaFerrari is more about nostalgia. Performance? HAH. In some aspects, it’s not even as good as Luofeng’s new Audi R8.

All in all, a luxury car worth six million is irrelevant to 99.99% of Dragon Country’s population; it’s simply unthinkable. To buy a six-million-yuan car, one’s assets would need to be in the tens of billions. Of course, if you have 10 million and buy a six-million sports car just to show off, that’s a different story.

So, Li Jiahao, who had only taken note of Luofeng’s designer clothes, simply couldn’t believe that such a young man could afford this Ferrari.

"My gosh, is this guy really going to buy the 488?" Lin Xiaoyun looked at Luofeng, somewhat stunned.

Chen Dali replied, "It’s very possible. After all, his wristwatch alone is worth a million. With such a family background, you can imagine."

"Coincidentally, my fourth uncle’s family is in Shanghai, and my cousin is there too. I’ll send a WeChat message to ask. Such a tycoon should be quite famous in Shanghai, right?"

Truth be told, don’t read too many novels. Someone who can buy a wristwatch worth millions and a Ferrari worth several millions would undoubtedly be very well-known in their circle in any city. Of course, that’s unless they’re stretching themselves thin to make the purchase.
