Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: That Makes More Sense

Lu Feng walked around the BMW 7 Series Exclusive Edition, then said definitively, "Yes, this one. I'll pay in full."

The young saleswoman received the confirmation. Even though she doubted Lu Feng had the purchasing power, she still said enthusiastically, "Sir, if you pay in full for this car, our dealership offers many complimentary services. We'll also handle all the paperwork and licensing for you. We'll make sure you're completely satisfied. Shall we sign the contract now?"

Lu Feng nodded. "Yeah, let's sign the contract."

"Sir, please have a seat over here. I'll go prepare the contract for you." The saleswoman's face instantly lit up with joy.

She hadn't expected someone as young as Lu Feng to actually be buying this BMW 7 Series, and paying in full at that.

'Could he be some rich second-generation kid from a wealthy family in the county?'

She hurried off to prepare the contract. After all, she couldn't rest easy until it was signed.

The tall girl at the cashier's desk saw the saleswoman's excitement and immediately asked, "Lin Yao, what are you so happy about? Made another sale?"

Lin Yao immediately leaned in and said, "Li Meng, hurry and get a Coke for that gentleman. He wants to buy the BMW 7 Series Exclusive Edition, paying in full."

The cashier, Li Meng, looked up at Lu Feng and said in surprise, "For real? He's so young."

It was no wonder she was surprised. After all, they were just in a small county town.

Lin Yao urged, "Stop dawdling. Hurry up and take care of him. He's pretty handsome, too."

Li Meng got up at once and went to the side to pour a drink. Her gaze drifted toward Lu Feng several times; after all, a handsome and wealthy young man always attracts the attention of beautiful women.

"Sir, please have a drink." Li Meng poured a glass of Coke and placed it on the table in front of Lu Feng.

"Thank you," Lu Feng said, nodding his thanks.

A moment later, Lin Yao brought the contract over and handed it to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng glanced over the contract and signed his name.

Since it was a full-cash purchase, the buyer and the person registering the car didn't have to be the same. When it came time to register it, he would just put the car under his cousin's name, and then it would be his cousin's.

Lin Yao took the contract, and after a glance, she was completely at ease. She said even more enthusiastically, "Mr. Lu, please come this way to pay."

Lu Feng followed her to the cashier's desk, where Li Meng took his bank card with an even more enthusiastic expression.

When the full payment of over 900,000 yuan landed in the dealership's account, the way Lin Yao and Li Meng looked at Lu Feng was filled with even more astonishment.

Lin Yao immediately said, "Mr. Lu, we'll need your ID card to handle the paperwork and registration." Then, not forgetting, she added, "Also, could we exchange WeChat and phone numbers? That way, we can contact each other anytime if any issues come up."

Hearing this, Lu Feng immediately replied, "I'm buying this car for my cousin. He'll need to bring his ID over."

This left both Lin Yao and Li Meng stunned for a moment.

The two women subconsciously exchanged a look.

They seemed to have realized something and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

'Now this makes sense.'

'No wonder. How could someone so young afford to buy a 740 in cash?'

'So the real boss isn't this young man, but his cousin.'

'He must be in charge of finances or something. After all, many business owners like to entrust their finances to acquaintances or relatives.'

Lu Feng, however, had already taken out his phone, walked to the side, and dialed Yang Ming's number.

As soon as the call connected, he said, "Cousin, bring your ID over to Baida Car Shop."

"Xiaofeng, I told you there's no hurry for the car." The moment Yang Ming heard this, he knew what was happening. He hadn't expected that when his younger cousin said he'd help him buy a car, he would go and do it immediately.

Lu Feng said with a laugh, "Cousin, I've already paid in full. We're just waiting for you and your ID to do the paperwork and registration."

"Sigh, you..." Yang Ming sighed.

He'd had his BMW 3 Series for a long time, and it only sold for 165,000 yuan. For his cousin to go to Baida Car Shop and buy a new 3 Series for him in cash would cost over 300,000 yuan. In that sense, he was the one coming out ahead.

However, his cousin had his connections, and he would be helping his cousin with his business later, so he really did need a car. Otherwise, getting around would be a huge hassle.

Lu Feng hung up the phone and said to Lin Yao, "We'll have to wait a bit. My cousin is on his way."

"Of course, Mr. Lu." Lin Yao still nodded enthusiastically. Even though the young man in front of her wasn't the real boss, he was the one who brought them this sale.

Before long, Yang Ming walked into the dealership from outside.

There were no other customers in the main hall, so he spotted Lu Feng right away and walked over.

The first thing Lu Feng said was, "Cousin, where's your ID?"

Yang Ming nodded and took out his ID card.

Lin Yao took the ID, glanced at it, and said immediately, "Mr. Yang, could we exchange WeChat and phone numbers? I'll notify you as soon as the car's registration is complete."

Yang Ming took out his phone to add her on WeChat, thinking that this beautiful saleswoman seemed particularly enthusiastic.

Of course Lin Yao was enthusiastic. After all, this man was the real boss, and he was much more mature and charming than his cousin.

She immediately invited him, "Mr. Yang, let me show you the car and give you a tour of its features."

Yang Ming nodded. He had been driving a 3 Series before, but there were still quite a few differences between the new and old models.

Lin Yao led Yang Ming to the titanium silver BMW 740 and said with a beaming smile, "Mr. Yang, this 740 is your new car. Let me introduce its features to you. This new model has many more functions than the old one..."

Yang Ming stared at the 740, completely and utterly dumbfounded, okay?

'Didn't my cousin say he was buying me a 3 Series in cash? How did it become a 740?'

'This car costs 950,000 yuan out the door, doesn't it?!'

He looked at Lu Feng, so stunned that for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Lu Feng simply nodded at his cousin.

Just then, a man in a suit walked out.

When Li Meng saw the man, she said, "President Li."

He was the owner of the car dealership, Li Kai.

When Li Kai saw Yang Ming, he was taken aback for a second, then immediately walked over with a broad smile. "Brother Ming, you're here to buy a car? Why didn't you give me a heads-up you were coming to my shop?"

He wasn't well-acquainted with this man, but they had shared drinks a few times. He knew that the man was a big shot in the county, with plenty of guys working under him.

When you're in business, you definitely want to show respect to a person like this. Building a better relationship could only be a good thing.

If he ever ran into some nasty low-level thugs, he could ask this man to step in.

Yang Ming said with a smile, "I'm just buying a car. I didn't want to trouble President Li."

"What trouble could it be?" Li Kai immediately asked Lin Yao, "Which car is Brother Ming buying?"

"President Li, Mr. Yang is buying this BMW 740, paying in full." Lin Yao was now even more certain that this Mr. Yang was a major boss. After all, it was rare to see her own boss be so enthusiastic with a customer.

President Li glanced at the 740 and, eager to show even more respect, said, "Xiaolin, I'll contact the DMV in a bit. You personally take Brother Ming over there, help him get the paperwork done and the plates on right away. And give Brother Ming a full year of complimentary maintenance."

"Yes, President Li," Lin Yao immediately agreed.

A man's reputation precedes him. Seeing how things had played out, Yang Ming could only accept his cousin's kind gesture and keep it in his heart.
