38: Chapter 37 Damn, it's so good to be rich!

Behind the glass curtain wall on the other side of the showroom, Manager Liu Qiang stood with his hands behind his back, thrusting out his beer belly that looked like he was ten months pregnant, scanning the entire first-floor lobby like a king surveying his domain.

Suddenly, he saw Su Ran running towards him, clicking along in her seven-centimeter black pointed-toe high heels.

Because she was moving so quickly, her ample bosom, tightly wrapped in a white shirt, heaved violently with every step.

Her delicate, fair face was flushed with an unnatural crimson, and her breathing was somewhat rapid.

Seeing this, Manager Liu Qiang's heart skipped a beat, and a wave of wild joy surged up within him.

"Could this woman have finally come around?" Manager Liu Qiang speculated inwardly.

That show-off kid must have made an excuse to slip away. Seeing that she wouldn't meet her KPI for the month and fearing being fired, Su Ran must have rushed over to capitulate.

Thinking of this, Manager Liu Qiang deliberately stiffened his face, cleared his throat, and put on the haughty airs of a superior.

He was ready to manipulate her once she arrived.

At this moment, Su Ran ran up to him, breathless.

"Manager Liu."

Su Ran stopped, her ample chest heaving violently. She took a deep breath, her speaking speed even faster than usual.

"What is the lowest price you can give for that matte gray 911 GTS Cabriolet?"

As soon as these words came out, the bureaucratic retort Manager Liu Qiang had prepared got stuck in his throat, and he nearly choked to death.

He stared blankly at Su Ran, his eyes wide as copper bells.

What was this woman saying?

Asking for the price?

That kid who didn't even take a test drive and looked at the car for less than three minutes actually wanted to buy it?

This was completely unexpected.

However, as the sales manager of the Porsche Center, Manager Liu Qiang still possessed professional competence. Faced with a subordinate asking for the bottom price of a vehicle, he instinctively gave an official reply.

"That car is fully optioned and has a special matte gray paint job."

Manager Liu Qiang frowned, his tone somewhat displeased.

"The total price is 2.8 million, all-inclusive."

2.8 million was the original price of the car. After the previous big client paid the deposit, their capital chain broke, so the car had effectively become stock on the floor. According to the store's rules, a certain discount could be given.

But Manager Liu Qiang deliberately held firm on the price.

This was the instinct of a businessman, habitually trying to extract maximum profit.

Upon hearing this quote, Su Ran frowned slightly.

She naturally knew that Manager Liu Qiang's quote was padded, and she was also clear that because the client had defaulted, there was room for a price reduction.

However, these workplace subtleties were tacitly understood by everyone and could not be exposed directly.

Su Ran calmed her breathing; the panic and excitement on her face had completely subsided, replaced by an extremely calm negotiating posture.

"Manager, my client is only willing to pay 2.4 million."

Su Ran looked at Manager Liu Qiang, her tone very firm.

"He says that since this car was ordered by someone else, it counts as leftovers. Besides, he doesn't really like the matte gray, and the configuration wasn't chosen by him, so he is only willing to pay this price."

"2.4 million? Impossible!"

Manager Liu Qiang jumped up as if a cat had stepped on his tail.

He glared, his voice rising by an octave.

"We are Porsche! This isn't some cheap, dime-a-dozen brand."

"It's already good enough that there's stock available for him to drive away immediately, and he still wants to cut 400,000? Does he think this is a vegetable market buying cabbage!"

"This price is absolutely impossible, not a single cent can be lowered!"

Manager Liu Qiang spoke definitively, his attitude extremely tough.

But after finishing his sentence, he suddenly realized something, his eyes scanning Su Ran up and down in surprise.

"What do you mean?"

Manager Liu Qiang narrowed his inverted triangular eyes, his tone filled with deep suspicion.

"Can your client actually commit to this?"

He had originally thought the man Su Ran brought was just a plant to meet her appointment KPI.

But now, not only did Su Ran run over to ask for the bottom price, but she was even starting to bargain on behalf of the client with reason and evidence. This posture was definitely not faked.

This meant that the young man really had an intention to purchase, and a very strong one at that.

Facing Manager Liu Qiang's questioning, Su Ran didn't retreat in the slightest.

"He can commit!"

Su Ran stood straight, full of confidence. This confidence was all given to her by Zhang Qi.

That man could pay 2.6 million in full without hesitation, so what did she have to be afraid of now?

She looked Manager Liu Qiang straight in the eyes, her tone neither humble nor pushy.

"However, if the price is this high, he definitely won't commit."

"He just said that buying a sports car is about being happy. If the price can't be negotiated, he'll just turn right out the door and go buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini."

Su Ran's words were very realistic, so they had great lethality. After hearing this, Manager Liu Qiang fell into deep thought.

This matte gray 911 had been parked in the showroom for over half a month; not only was it tying up capital, but it would be even harder to sell as time went on.

If he let such a big spender get away because the price couldn't be negotiated, it would definitely be a huge loss for the store. He certainly wanted to sell this car.

But 2.4 million—that price was indeed too outrageous; it wouldn't even cover the cost, and the big boss would surely skin him alive.

Manager Liu Qiang quickly calculated the profit margin and his own commission in his head.

"How about 2.7 million."

Manager Liu Qiang gritted his teeth and made a concession.

"This is the greatest sincerity I can offer, considering it's a stock vehicle. You go talk to him again."

Su Ran shook her head, her expression very calm.

"But the client is only willing to pay 2.5 million at most."

"2.5 million sounds too ugly, and this price is truly impossible to do."

Manager Liu Qiang was getting anxious; he had now fully entered the car-selling mode, and he couldn't spare a thought for his previous sleazy intentions.

He rubbed his hands and said, "How about 2.6 million."

Manager Liu Qiang looked at Su Ran, his tone carrying a hint of negotiation.

"After all, when the previous big client ordered this car, with all the various options, the total quote was over 2.8 million."

"It's over 200,000 cheaper now; this is already a rock-bottom price. You tell him this price is absolutely the lowest in all of Shenzhen, and it can't go any lower."

Su Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

2.6 million.

This was indeed the lowest price, and it was the price she had just discussed with Zhang Qi.

She had deliberately pushed the price down to 2.4 million earlier just to leave room for Manager Liu Qiang to negotiate. Now, her goal was achieved. But that wasn't enough.

"I can go talk to the client about this price."

Su Ran didn't agree immediately, but continued to throw out conditions.

"But since the price concession isn't huge, then the things that should be included..."

"I'll include everything! I'll include it all!"

Manager Liu Qiang was also a shrewd person; how could he not understand Su Ran's intentions now?

This woman was definitely in cahoots with that client now. The current bargaining was all to show off her capabilities in front of that big financier.

In order to clear out this stagnant stock vehicle, Manager Liu Qiang had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept it.

"The original factory dashcam, full-body paint protection film, three free basic maintenance services, plus interior floor mats and a full set of premium delivery gifts—I'll give him everything!"

Manager Liu Qiang said, feeling extremely pained.

"Is that enough?"

"Alright, thank you, Manager."

A bright, professional smile finally appeared on Su Ran's face.

"I'll have the back office prepare the contract now."

She thanked him politely on the surface, then turned around, clicking in her high heels, and walked toward the VIP lounge with light, quick steps.

Manager Liu Qiang stood on the spot, watching Su Ran's swaying back, his expression very complicated.

There was unwillingness, jealousy, but mostly a deep sense of helplessness.

"I'm not surprised that such a stunner could find a rich financier," Manager Liu Qiang muttered to himself, stroking his thinning hairline.

"However, to be able to pay for a 2.6 million sports car in full without even blinking... the strength of this young man is definitely not simple."

Manager Liu Qiang had been in Shenzhen for so many years and had come into contact with all kinds of rich people. He knew all too well what cash flow meant.

Many big bosses driving Rolls-Royces worth tens of millions often had to scrape together funds or even take out usurious loans just to cover a few hundred thousand in project payments.

A person who could spend over two million on a big toy was either an heir to a top-tier old-money family with deep roots, or a scion of a powerful family with heaven-reaching connections.

A single hair from such a person was thicker than his waist.

Manager Liu Qiang had always had designs on Su Ran, and just moments ago, he was still calculating how to use his position to force her to submit. But now, all those thoughts were gone. Cleanly, not a shred left.

Although he was greedy for money and lustful, he valued his life more. He knew like a mirror who could be provoked and who could not.

A guy who could afford a 2.6 million Porsche could make it impossible for him, a small sales manager, to survive in Shenzhen with just a flick of his finger.

He completely put away those sleazy thoughts from before.

It was just that watching Su Ran's impossibly slender waist in the distance and those top-tier long legs moving alternately under black stockings, Manager Liu Qiang still couldn't suppress a strong wave of jealousy rising in his heart.

"Damn, it's great to be rich."

Manager Liu Qiang shook his head, sighed, his eyes full of unconcealable envy.
