Chapter 24: If your back hurts, someone will make you feel better.
"What are you saying? Would I lie to you? But the car owner is indeed a man; he just lent the car to the mechanic that day, and that's when the problem happened..."
In Hangzhou, in the heart of the automobile city.
After hearing Xiao Kang's shameless explanation, Gu Bai was completely dumbfounded. So this beautiful woman was a one-handed driver...
This is as absurd as a business card reporting an 18-year-old beauty, but the person who arrives is a 36-year-old bearded man.
However, Gu Bai was too lazy to pay attention to the other party's affairs. After all, they made a living from this business, and if things were a bit outrageous, that was their business and had nothing to do with him. He just wanted to know how he should buy the car after the seven million yuan car purchase money arrived in his account.
This is a whopping ten million yuan in exclusive car purchase credits!
If they continue buying Horch and Maybach, it would inevitably seem a bit stingy.
However, given Gu Bai's previous experience, it was already quite impressive that he knew the prices of these two cars. Asking him to know the specific price range of luxury cars like Ferraris and Lamborghinis would be a bit of a challenge for someone who used to be poor.
However...
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know; isn't there an expert right in front of him?
While there aren't any supercars here, as a used car dealer who's been in the business for many years, I've probably come into contact with and know a thing or two about these things...
Thinking of this, Gu Bai tentatively asked.
"Having worked in this industry for so many years, you must know a lot about cars, right? If you were given ten million to buy a car, what kind of car would you choose?"
Xiao Kang didn't think much of Gu Bai's question. Although Gu Bai was someone who was not short of money in his eyes, he was not rich enough to spend ten million on a car. After all, Gu Bai didn't seem like someone who had that much spare money to buy a car.
So he just thought Gu Bai wanted to discuss with him which car under ten million was better.
"Ten million... Let me think... If I had ten million, I'd probably buy a Rolls-Royce Ghost. It doesn't have the old-fashioned feel of the Phantom, and it looks more understated and refined. It's also very comfortable to drive..."
"Rolls-Royce?"
To be honest, Gu Bai didn't really like Rolls-Royce. Even though the other party said that this car didn't have the old-fashioned feel of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, in Gu Bai's mind, all Rolls-Royces seemed equally ugly, and he just couldn't appreciate them.
If Gu Baining really wanted to buy this kind of commercial vehicle, he'd rather wait until he had the means and just buy a Hongqi L5...
And now...
Do young people not like supercars? Do they have to be old to like them?
"Rolls-Royces are boring. Don't you have any supercars you like?"
Gu Bai interrupted Xiao Kang, who was about to launch into a long rant about Rolls-Royce, and steered the conversation toward his favorite supercar.
"Supercars? Only young people like those things." Xiao Kang chuckled, flicked his cigarette ash, and pointed out the shortcomings of supercars in a concise and direct manner.
"Driving a supercar occasionally is fine, but if you use it for commuting, it's not a comfortable thing at all; it's really hard on your back."
Gu Bai disagreed with this statement: "Brother, you're still too narrow-minded. While driving a supercar can be tough on your back, when you're not driving it, someone will give you a back massage."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Kang, who had previously looked disdainful of supercars, froze on his face. He then slapped his thigh and blurted out, "Holy crap!"
"Holy crap! Bro, that's an amazing statement! Why didn't I meet you two months earlier? I just bought a Maybach. If I had met you then and heard what you said, I would have definitely gritted my teeth and gotten a supercar..."
Two months in advance? Back then I was still a poor, miserable animal...
Even if I had met you two months earlier, I wouldn't have said these words.
"It's okay, it's not too late to think about it now. You can afford a Maybach now, maybe you can buy a supercar in a couple of years?"
Gu Bai tried to steer the conversation back on track, as it was about to go off-topic.
Fortunately, Xiao Kang wasn't a erratic person. Under Gu Bai's forceful diversion of the topic, his thoughts returned to the topic Gu Bai had just brought up.
"It's a bit difficult to buy one in two years, but it should be possible in seven or eight years. If I were to buy a supercar next time, I think I would choose one from the Ferrari 812 GTS, Asmartine DBS, or Lamborghini Urus, mainly depending on the type of girl I want to hook up with at that time."
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Bai raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
"The Ferrari 812 GTS has a very flamboyant appearance, with a natural sense of arrogance. This kind of car is more likely to attract energetic young women. The Aston Martin DBS has some British style elements, which should attract the attention of intellectual women. As for the Lamborghini, it's just my type. I've always liked the sharp angles of the Lamborghini design. If I hadn't bought a Maybach, I would probably have bought an entry-level Lamborghini."
As expected of an expert, Xiao Kang immediately described the physical characteristics of these cars to Gu Bai.
Gu Bai silently took out his notebook and wrote down the models of these cars. As soon as the money was in place, he would go and look at these three cars. If he liked one, he would buy it without hesitation. If not, he would have to look for one himself.
After noting down the models of these cars, Gu Bai considered his goal achieved. He glanced at his watch and said to Xiao Kang.
"Alright, I'll stop bragging. It's almost lunchtime, I'm going to grab a bite. Once you've transferred the car's ownership, just drive it to my place. I'll send you the address on WeChat later. If you can't drive that far, you can have it shipped over; I'll cover the shipping."
After saying that, Gu Bai ignored Xiao Kang's still unsatisfied and somewhat bewildered expression, and simply patted his behind and left the used car market.
Whether it was psychological or not, after leaving the car city for a long time, Gu Bai suddenly felt that the weather was much hotter.
"There's no such thing as dirt in this world; I want to believe in science!"
Gu Bai consoled himself and quickly flagged down a taxi on the side of the road. He didn't care whether the driver would stab him or not, and spoke directly to the driver.
"Master, go directly to Cloud Nest Butterfly Valley!"
"Yunxi Butterfly Valley?" The taxi driver repeated the location Gu Bai mentioned. After thinking it over in his mind, he realized that there was only one villa area with that name in his memory. But would the people in this villa area really take a taxi?
"Young man, are you talking about Yunxi Butterfly Valley in the villa area? Or is there a shop with that name somewhere else?"
"It's the one in the villa area, you can just go there..."
