How much did this car cost?
Chu Xiaoxiao was momentarily uncertain how to answer Madam Chu, recalling the scene when she bought the car.
After she and Lin Fan left the electric car showroom, they strolled around a bit. Eventually, she decided she still liked the BMW Mini she initially set her eyes on, so they returned to the BMW showroom.
"Are you sure you want to buy this Mini?" Lin Fan asked.
Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, saying, "Yes."
Lin Fan waved to the salespeople present, signaling for them to come over.
There were a few salespeople in suits who noticed Lin Fanâs gesture, but seeing Lin Fan dressed in cheap clothes, and Chu Xiaoxiao not dressed particularly expensively either, they instantly decided they werenât dealing with wealthy individuals, so they acted as if they hadnât seen them.
Since BMW is a popular model, there were quite a few people inquiring about it. The salespeople busily attended to those dressed in fine clothesâthe ones who looked wealthy and were worth pursuing as customers. As for the less well-off, they were just there to ask questions without buying anything, merely wasting time.
This is the basic judgment salespeople make about guests, having encountered many: a bunch of dead broke folks, asking lots of questions only to not buy anything because they simply canât afford it!
So, of course, they didnât want to entertain them.
Lin Fan waved for the salespeople to come over, but they acted as if they didnât see him, which was awkward.
"Cough, cough, hello, miss, could you come over? We want to buy a car." Lin Fan raised his voice slightly. Earlier, heâd assumed they hadnât noticed, but now that he spoke, it was hard for them to pretend they didnât hear unless they were deaf.
The salesperson Lin Fan called was a woman. Upon hearing Lin Fanâs words, she was reluctant but, due to professional requirements, couldnât refuse to respond.
She wasnât actually deaf, so she had to reply to Lin Fan.
Reluctantly, the female salesperson prepared to go and attend to Lin Fan and Chu Xiaoxiao. At that moment, a woman entered from outside, dressed in branded clothes, carrying a designer bag, and wearing designer high heels.
Rich Lady!
The female salesperson instantly didnât want to deal with Lin Fan anymore and casually said, "Please wait a moment."
Then, she flashed a brilliant smile and immediately approached the High-End Lady: "Miss, are you here to buy a car? Have you picked a model?"
The female salesperson passionately attended to the High-End Lady.
The High-End Lady, acting all pretentious, pointed at a BMW Mini: "This car is quite nice. Is it a convertible? How much is it?"
The female salesperson smiled, saying, "This model costs 330,000, but it isnât a convertible. Miss, do you want the convertible version?"
The High-End Lady said, "How much is the convertible version?"
The female salesperson answered, "The convertible version is a bit more expensive, around 400,000."
The High-End Lady replied, "Oh, okay."
As she spoke, she glanced around, murmuring, "Really nice, this car is really nice."
The female salesperson smiled, saying, "Miss, may I ask your surname?"
The High-End Lady said, "Wu."
The female salesperson said, "Miss Wu, you have such great insight to choose our BMW. I particularly recommend the convertible version. Itâs one of our bestsellers here. For this car show, weâve prepared some stock, and if Miss Wu wants to buy it, you can drive it home today."
The High-End Lady asked, "Is this car fuel-efficient?"
The female salesperson replied, "Itâs quite fuel-efficient..."
The High-End Lady continued to ask a bunch of questions, while the female salesperson smiled throughout, answering professionally, showing no impatience. She truly seemed like a dedicated salesperson with good customer service skills.
After answering, the female salesperson was practically parched from talking.
"Miss Wu, youâve understood the basic details. If you want to buy, we can start processing the paperwork. Itâs quick, and weâll handle all the procedures; you just drive the car home," the female salesperson said.
The High-End Lady uttered an "Oh," and said, "By the way, I have one last question. Is there any discount on this car?"
Though rich, she was just as thrifty â the wealthier they are, the more they like to inquire about discounts. The female salesperson chuckled, "Yes, yes, for this car show, weâve prepared the largest discount. At a dealership, you wouldnât get this price. The convertibleâs original price is 400,000, but itâs discounted to 350,000."
The High-End Lady stuck out her tongue, "So expensive!"
The female salesperson said, "Miss Wu, itâs not expensive, really itâs not. This is the biggest discount ever."
The High-End Lady disdainfully shook her head and pouted, "Pricey!"
Damn, with a 50,000 discount, she still thinks itâs expensive â the wealthier they are, the more thrifty they are! The female salesperson awkwardly smiled, asking, "Miss Wu, whatâs the price you find acceptable? The price is negotiable."
The High-End Lady said, "50,000, I could consider it."
The female salesperson hesitated, thinking she heard wrong, "Miss Wu, our discount is 50,000."
The High-End Lady said, "No, no, no, I mean, Iâll consider buying the car if itâs sold at 50,000."
What?
This Rich Lady wants to buy a 400,000 car for 50,000?
The female salesperson nearly fainted, saying, "Miss Wu, are you joking? Look at your clothes, your handbagâtheyâre all brands that together cost more than 50,000, let alone a car. You must be joking."
The High-End Lady said, "Iâm not joking. I canât afford 350,000âmy Chanel outfit is a replica, and my LV bag is fake too, amounting to around 10,000. The replicas are quite good; you see, you didnât notice. I spent two monthsâ salary to look this way. Can you really say I can buy it? Even at 50,000, Iâd need installments, with a maximum down payment of 10,000; I saved this for a long time."
Pfft!
Lin Fan, beside them, couldnât help but laugh at the High-End Ladyâs words.
With top-notch insight, he could see from the moment she walked in that her brand-name attire was all fakeâcounterfeit!
Too bad the female salesperson didnât realize it, genuinely treating her as a Rich Lady, eagerly wanting her to buy a car, pouring out her heart and soul. Judging people by clothing really deserves to be a slap in the face!
At the moment, the female salesperson was visibly annoyed.
Damn, she spent so much time and effort, only to find the other party was a fake rich lady!
She was nearly furious.
If it werenât for her professional image, she wouldâve cursed.
"Impossible at 50,000; you should buy another car," the female salesperson coldly remarked, her smile gone, not a trace left. She was itching to slap the High-End Lady.
The High-End Lady said, "Fine, I was just asking. If itâs impossible, then forget it, but your attitude is problematic."
"What, my attitude is problematic?" The female salesperson was fuming, almost losing it.
