Chapter 12 I Never Care About the Price When Buying a Car

```

Although it was National Day, given it was still morning, most of the customer traffic was concentrated in the afternoon and evening, so there weren't too many people when Zhang Menglou walked into the club.

Unlike him, most of the people who came here were older successful individuals, and naturally, as standard practice, almost all of them were accompanied by a beautiful woman, whether she was a girlfriend, wife, or mistress, that was unknown.

Since there weren't that many customers, most of the salespeople sat chatting in the resting area. As people who only mingled with the elite, they never ran out of topics to talk about every day.

"Sister Zhang, there's a new customer," noted a girl in her early twenties as she spotted Zhang Menglong entering the store.

The one referred to as Sister Zhang merely glanced at Zhang Menglong before averting her eyes. Having worked in the store for several years, the sales staff had developed a knack for figuring out who had spending power with just one look.

Zhang Menglong was young, clearly not some successful individual. The clothes he wore, when added together, wouldn't exceed 1000 yuan—he was merely an ordinary student.

"It's fine, just a poor student. He's probably here to take a couple of photos before leaving. There's no need to waste time on them," they had grown accustomed to such visitors over time.

The basic wages of these luxury car salespeople weren't high, so for them, commissions were the most significant part of their income. Since the cars here could easily cost millions, selling just one a month was enough for them to live better than most people.

Therefore, for them, identifying the right, precise customer was the most crucial skill.

"Little Meng, you're new here and there's a lot you don't understand. Learn from us, and you'll know in the future that entertaining this kind of person is simply a waste of your time. With that effort, you might as well touch up your makeup. With your beauty, sweetening your words a little, selling a few more cars a month wouldn't be that difficult."

Just then, another man with a potbelly walked in behind Zhang Menglong, a tall beauty hooking onto his wrist, sporting a glittering LV logo on her bag.

Sister Zhang's eyes lit up, "Watch and learn, this is what a real customer looks like!"

Sister Zhang checked herself in the mirror she carried and put on a professional smile as she greeted the newcomer.

"Sir, are you here to look at cars? Is it for you or for the beautiful lady by your side?"

The man smiled so broadly that the wrinkles on his face almost crowded together. For successful people like him, the most enjoyable moments came from shopping and enjoying the fawning and admiring glances from sales staff.

"Take us to see the Maserati, I heard you've recently got a new red model, quite suitable for women to drive."

"Sir, you are indeed well-informed! Right this way, please!"

...

"Damn, I was here first!" Zhang Menglong was utterly bemused. Truth be told, although he was carrying a hundred billion yuan in funds, it was his first time in such a high-end place and he really didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

Would it come off too unsophisticated if he called for a salesperson here?

"Sir, may I ask if you're here to look at cars?" Noticing Zhang Menglong's embarrassment, Sun Yumeng took the initiative to approach him. As a naive girl, Sun Yumeng still held the innocent belief that every customer was a customer, regardless of their spending ability, and deserved good service.

Of course, the thoughts of others weren't wrong either; it was just a matter of different principles.

"Yes, but I'm not very familiar with this place; if it's convenient for you, could you show me around?" Zhang Menglong actually felt some goodwill towards the girl since she didn't judge him by his appearance like the others did.

"What price range are you interested in, sir? Our cars here range from several hundred thousand to tens of millions."

"Any is fine, I'm not particular about cars. As long as I like what I see, I'll buy it."

```

Sun Yumeng's eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, as she had never heard before that buying a car required looking for a connection; it was like this was about purchasing a car, not dating or matchmaking.

"Right, I heard you guys have a lot of limited edition cars here?" Zhang Menglong asked, now that he had money, he naturally wanted something distinctive, and limited edition cars should be quite expensive, right? Maybe he could spend a portion of his 100 billion budget today.

"You're interested in a limited edition car? But at our place, the limited cars start at a million at least. Are you sure?"

"Of course, why don't you show me a Pagani first!" It wasn't because Zhang Menglong understood Paganis, but solely because the name sounded cool when pronounced, nothing more.

"Sir, we do have a limited edition Pagani Wind Spirit, but the price..." Sun Yumeng struggled for a moment, not knowing how to broach the subject. This car was a limited edition model released a few years ago to commemorate the collaboration with the Huaxia factory, with only three in the world.

The owners of this store had gone to great lengths to acquire this car, and even they were reluctant to buy it with their own money, as the base selling price back then was said to be 5 million Euros, with the current price an astronomical figure.

This car had been on display here for a very long time, seen by thousands upon thousands, but its continued presence in the showroom attested to its daunting price tag.

"No worries, I'll just take a look. When I buy a car, I don't care how expensive it is, as long as it looks handsome," Zhang Menglong inquired further, "By the way, as long as I like it, I can buy it, right? Don't hit me with some 'not for sale' nonsense later."

Sun Yumeng, observing Zhang Menglong's natural and easy tone, couldn't quite determine whether the young man was just showing off or really had the financial capability.

This was a tens of millions car, could there really be someone who wouldn't even ask the price and just buy it if they liked it? What was this? Financial freedom? No! This was beyond financial freedom; this was supercar freedom!

"Rest assured, sir, this car is available for sale. If you really set your heart on it, we can sign the contract today."

"Great, let's go!" Zhang Menglong had long heard of the name Pagani Wind Spirit, but he had only ever seen it in pictures, so he was somewhat excited to see the actual car this time.

"Sir, this car, due to its high value, is parked in the underground garage. Please follow me."

"Hmm!" Zhang Menglong followed Sun Yumeng directly towards the front desk.

"Miss Su, I need the keys to the underground garage," Sun Yumeng said.

"The underground garage? Him?" Su He looked at Zhang Menglong with surprise, knowing that the cars parked in the underground garage were tens of millions worth of sports cars, including limited edition models, and wondered if this young man could afford it.

But at their place, they were not allowed to refuse a customer's request to see a car; even if Zhang Menglong truly couldn't afford it, if he wanted to see a car, they had to accommodate.

"Be careful not to let him touch the cars randomly," Su He whispered.

"You two, follow them and have a look," Su He instructed two other sales associates. If anything happened to the car, everyone would be responsible.

Following the elevator, the group arrived at the underground exhibition hall. As the lights came on, a series of cool cars suddenly appeared before Zhang Menglong.

Instantly, Zhang Menglong's gaze landed on a purple sports car directly in front of him. Its perfect aerodynamics, decorated with elements of Chinese culture, immediately captured his attention.

"Sir, this is that Pagani Wind Spirit, it also has another name, 'Yazi', named after the legend of the 'Dragon's Nine Offspring', because the first person to reserve it was a Huaxia customer, but later the car ended up in our boss's hands."

"I'll take this car!" Zhang Menglong didn't have any second thoughts, his gaze fixed on the car the moment he saw it.

"Sir, I haven't told you the price yet."

"As I said before, I don't look at the price when buying a car, since there isn't one I can't afford!"
