Chapter 1334: Chapter 1,317: What a Coincidence

Buying a car, without money, it’s quite a hassle, but with money, especially a lot of money, then it’s definitely not a hassle.

Precisely because buying a car doesn’t seem like a big deal, Morgan didn’t bother to say much to Gao Yang, he just told him to go ahead and pick out a luxury car and consider it done. When you’ve reached their level of wealth, buying a car really isn’t a big deal anymore.

In the morning, Gao Yang called people one by one to inform them that he was back. Everyone knew he had gone to Antwerp and they were thinking about him, so this call definitely had to be made.

Gao Yang wanted Yelena to accompany him in everything he did, but unfortunately, Yelena had to go to school, so that’s the downside of having a girlfriend who’s still a student. Without Yelena, Gao Yang originally thought of just going with one or two people to buy the car and be done with it, but he underestimated how bored everyone was.

For people who are bored out of their minds, having something to do is better than doing nothing, so when Gao Yang planned to set out at dawn, several more people joined him: Frey, Eileen, and Cui Bo, the ones who always show up when there’s some action.

With money, buying any car is not a problem, especially in a place like New York. Buying a car is even less of a problem, which is why Gao Yang didn’t do any preparation in advance.

Once everyone was gathered, Gao Yang clapped his hands and said loudly, "I need a luxury car. With my limited knowledge of cars, luxury cars like the Mercedes S series, BMW 7 series, and Audi A8 are up to standard. But in Morgan’s circle, it seems like you need at least Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or Maybach level, so our destination is clear - just go straight to the dealerships of these three brands and buy."

Eileen raised her hand and shouted, "Boss, Maybach stopped production last year. As an independent brand, Maybach became history in 2013."

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Alright, then we buy from the other two brands. Check the map and see which dealership is closest to us."

Eileen tapped a few things on the tablet and shouted, "Boss, the closest one to us is a comprehensive dealership, all luxury cars, and it has Bentleys."

Gao Yang slapped his hand and said, "Great, confirm the coordinates, let’s go!"

Yake said with dissatisfaction, "It’s just buying a car, is it necessary to make it seem like going to war? Is it necessary?"

No one paid attention to Yake. Gao Yang stood up to leave, and at that moment, Number Thirteen coughed lightly and then said softly, "Can we bring Karima along? She’s kind of bored alone."

Gao Yang paused, then said, "Alright, call Karima to join us, let’s move."

They divided into two cars and soon arrived at the nearest luxury car dealership.

The luxury car showroom was, of course, luxurious. The cars Gao Yang and his group were driving were the most ordinary ones. As soon as they parked the cars, the group aggressively entered the showroom.

Strictly speaking, Gao Yang and his group’s attire didn’t really look like that of rich people. Some wore tactical gear, others wore baggy sportswear; overall, they didn’t look like people who could afford luxury cars. But even if they didn’t look like wealthy people, their demeanor was imposing, and the sales staff at a professional dealership have at least basic professional ethics, so even if they don’t have much vision, you wouldn’t see them looking down on others.

Besides, Gao Yang and his group indeed have a strong presence. Even without the support of clothes, they can make people realize they are nouveau riche.

Gao Yang wanted to be nouveau riche, aiming for the brashness of it. They work hard, not to mention risking their lives to earn money, just so they can be nouveau riche, walking with heads raised and chests out, striding into the bright showroom, ignoring the supercars, heading straight to the sedan area, and finally stopping in front of a few Bentleys, casually pointing at a car, "How about this one?"

Eileen shook her head and said, "This is a Continental. It’s a coupé, not suitable."

"Oh, didn’t notice. How about this one, this is a sedan."

Eileen still shook her head and sighed, "Not suitable, this is a Flying Spur. Although it’s fine, it’s not Bentley’s flagship model, not suitable for you."

The car salesman finally seized the opportunity to stand in front of Gao Yang, with a smile, said, "Sir, is there anything I can assist you with?"

Eileen snapped her fingers and said, "Buying a car, Bentley Mulsanne, highest configuration."

The salesman smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, we don’t have a Bentley Mulsanne in stock. If you require the Mulsanne model, it needs to be customized, approximately six months for delivery."

Upon hearing it requires customization, Gao Yang couldn’t be bothered to ask about the price and turned to leave. As soon as he left, everyone behind him disappeared too, leaving the salesman, who hadn’t even realized, standing there speechless.

While passing a row of supercars, Gao Yang pointed and said, "How about I drive a supercar?"

Number Thirteen said irritably, "No, if you want to be a playboy, sure, but if you want to give the impression of being an entrepreneur, just sit in your sedan."

No need to say much else, Gao Yang immediately waved and said, "Second point."

Yake finally couldn’t help but say: "I’m just accompanying you to buy a car out of boredom, buddy, can you not make it so obvious that I’m a rich guy? It really looks super annoying and super lame!"

Gao Yang scoffed and replied: "That’s exactly what I want, F**k. From now on, I’ll have to live with a mask on, so now I’ll do whatever I want."

Eileen retorted fiercely: "Boss, the nearest one is a Rolls-Royce dealership."

"Let’s go."

Driving to another location, a much smaller but equally luxurious dealership, yet this time it’s exclusively for Rolls-Royce. In a place like New York, a Rolls-Royce dealership can indeed survive.

Entering the dealership again, there are far fewer models, only two display cars inside. Gao Yang stepped forward and loudly said: "Buying a car, how much is this one, how much is that one, I want an in-stock car."

The salesperson in business attire enthusiastically said: "Sir, this Ghost is priced at two hundred and sixty thousand US dollars, and this Phantom is priced at two hundred and thirty thousand US dollars, both are in stock."

Gao Yang couldn’t help but exclaim: "So cheap!"

Eileen couldn’t help but say: "Boss, you can only buy the highest class."

Gao Yang cleared his throat and said to the salesperson: "Uh, I want a Mirage."

The salesperson quickly, with a smile, said: "The Mirage needs to be customized, starting at three hundred thousand US dollars. If everything is top configuration, it will be approximately five hundred and fifty thousand US dollars. If you have special requirements, the price won’t be capped, and the time needed is five months to a year, which also depends on what’s in your order."

Gao Yang looked disappointed, gazing at the people around him and said: "Still have to customize, why does everything need customization? Buying a car is so troublesome!"

Eileen helplessly said: "Because no one buying this kind of car is in such a rush like you. Besides, those Wall Street folks won’t settle for common models when buying this kind of car; they need customization to show off their status, so the top models are ironically out of stock."

Gao Yang sighed and said: "No choice then, just buy a random car to make do. How about that Ghost?"

Eileen shook her head and said: "No, either we continue looking for an in-stock car or you go buy a Benz to make do for now, then order the Mirage and wait. In short, can’t settle for a non-top model."

Gao Yang shrugged and said: "So, do we continue looking or settle for less?"

At this moment, the salesperson suddenly said: "Sir, actually we have an in-stock car, right in our garage, a Rolls-Royce Mirage, customized version. A customer customized this car but didn’t pay the full amount; he only paid half. Now the car is here, but that gentleman has already gone bankrupt and can’t pay the remaining half, and this was just the day before yesterday. The car has been stored in our garage for over three months. According to the contract, our client has lost this car, and we can handle it entirely."

What a coincidence, Gao Yang liked these sorts of coincidences, so he immediately said with interest: "Great, let me see it. If it’s fine, I’ll buy it."

The salesperson paused for a moment, smiling, and said: "The biggest problem is that this car is relatively expensive because everything on it is top-notch, especially a large amount of top-tier safety equipment. The more top-tier it is, the more expensive, of course. Another critical point is that this car is bulletproof modified, the highest bulletproof level. I think, among civilian vehicles worldwide, this car is definitely the safest, but I don’t know if you need a bulletproof modified car."

Gao Yang’s interest grew. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Great, how much is it?"

After a pause, the salesperson said seriously: "One hundred and sixty thousand US dollars."

Gao Yang wasn’t as flamboyant as before because he could manage sixty thousand US dollars for a top configuration Mirage; you have to spend money on things for show. However, his impression was that Rolls-Royce would at least be in the tens of millions of RMB, but here it’s only selling for tens of thousands of US dollars, cheap and worth it. But one hundred and sixty thousand US dollars, which is close to the tens of millions of RMB, made him feel a bit hurt.

Eileen looked at Gao Yang and said: "Still acceptable, bulletproof car, useful!"

Feeling the sting of the high price, Gao Yang thought it was still best to take a look first. Besides, he felt Eileen made a fair point; a bulletproof car might be unnecessary for those Wall Street big shots, but for him, it’s definitely useful.

Gao Yang nodded and smiled: "Great, let’s go see the car."

At this time, Karima suddenly said: "Wait, it’s better to ask clearly for this kind of car. Sir, why did the former owner of the car give up on a customized car for which he had already paid half? What happened to him? Most importantly, who is he? If you want to sell this car, you can’t hide this information, and if we really want to buy, you must present the contract to show this car won’t have any legal issues, so you’d better explain clearly beforehand."

The salesperson’s expression remained unchanged, but his tone of speech was somewhat tense, and although he tried his best to conceal it, the tension couldn’t be hidden from this group who had always lived through life and death situations.

"The customizer of this car is Mr. Smith Tomler. He had some financial issues, so he couldn’t complete the purchase of this car." (. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
