49: Chapter 49 Ordering a Car, Porsche

After entering the 4S dealership, Chen Fan looked around.

The showroom was brightly lit, with several brand-new Porsches lined up neatly.

There were very few customers in the showroom at the moment; just a man and a woman who appeared to be a couple, accompanied by a young and pretty female sales consultant.

On the right side of the showroom stood several idle sales consultants—all young, pretty girls wearing uniforms, black stockings, and high heels, with professional smiles on their faces.

In his previous life, he had heard that Porsche sales consultants were all stunningly beautiful, and seeing them today, it was true.

However, compared to Lin Xi, they were still lacking.

Chen Fan couldn't help but imagine a scene—if Lin Xi were also wearing this outfit: uniform, black stockings, high heels...

He couldn't keep thinking about it.

If he continued, he wouldn't be able to look at the cars.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he quickly suppressed the thought.

Just then, a girl with a ponytail hurried over to greet him. She looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four, wore light makeup, and smiled to reveal a set of neat teeth.

"Hello, sir. Welcome! Which model would you like to see?"

"Cayenne."

"Very well, please follow me." The girl turned to lead the way.

"Sir, we have three models of the new Cayenne." The girl arrived beside a car. "This is the base model, equipped with a 3.0T V6 engine, 300 horsepower."

Chen Fan was a bit surprised. He only knew about the Cayenne; he hadn't realized it was divided into a base model and others.

"Besides the base model, what else is there?" Chen Fan asked.

The girl smiled, guided him a few steps to the side, and pointed at a silver Cayenne: "This is the Cayenne S, 4.8L V8 engine, 400 horsepower. It has much more power than the base model and richer configurations."

Chen Fan looked in the direction of her finger—the silver body gleamed coldly under the lights, its lines sharper than the base model.

"And the other one?" he asked.

A glint of light flashed in the girl's eyes, and her voice softened slightly: "Cayenne Turbo, 4.8T V8 twin-turbocharged, 500 horsepower, 0 to 100 in just 4.7 seconds. However, we don't have that model on display at the moment."

"Which model can be picked up the fastest?" Chen Fan asked.

A flash of surprise crossed the girl's eyes. Judging by Chen Fan's tone, it seemed he really intended to buy.

Seeing how young Chen Fan was, she had initially assumed he was likely just looking. Still, it wasn't a loss to introduce the car to such a handsome guy, but she hadn't expected a potential sale.

Recovering, she smiled and said:

"Sir, you are very lucky. Our dealership happens to have a Cayenne S in transit; it will arrive at the port early next month. It's a black top-spec model. Normally, there is a six-month wait, but this one was cancelled by someone else. If you order it now, you can pick it up next month."

Chen Fan was taken aback: "Is it that coincidental?"

"Yes, if you had come a few days later, it might have already been reserved by someone else."

"How much is this car?"

"This Cayenne S includes options like 20-inch wheels, a BOSE sound system, and a panoramic sunroof, with a total price of 1.68 million."

Chen Fan listened and mentally calculated—picking it up next month would be just about the time he received his driver's license.

"If I book it today, how much is the deposit?"

The girl's eyes lit up, and her voice became even lighter: "Because this is the top-spec model, the deposit is 200,000."

"Fine, I'll book it today."

The surprise on the girl's face grew: "Very well, sir. Let's sign the purchase contract first."

She took a standard contract from the counter, quickly filled in the model, configuration, total price, and delivery time, then pushed it in front of Chen Fan.

"Sir, please take a look. If there are no issues, just sign it, and then you can swipe your card."

Chen Fan took the contract and scanned the terms—the model, price, and delivery time were all clearly written, with no issues.

He picked up the pen and signed his name.

The girl took the contract, stamped it, and handed over the POS machine.

Chen Fan entered his password, and a few seconds later, the receipt slowly printed out.

Seeing this, the girl's face was filled with immense surprise; she hadn't expected the deal to actually go through.

"Sir, here is your deposit invoice and a copy of the contract. Please keep them safe." The girl put the items into an exquisite folder and handed it over with both hands. "We will notify you as soon as the car arrives at the port. At that time, you can come to inspect the car before paying the balance."

Chen Fan took the folder, stood up, and left.

The girl stood there, watching his back disappear outside the door, and finally couldn't help but clench her fists and cheer softly.

Several idle sales consultants nearby gathered around:

"Did it go through?"

"It did! The 1.68 million S version!"

Hearing this, a look of jealousy appeared on the faces of the other sales consultants.

Seeing that Chen Fan was young, they had assumed he likely wouldn't buy, so they hadn't stepped forward.

They hadn't expected her to scoop up the deal.

... After leaving the 4S dealership, Chen Fan went straight to the Wanda Plaza at Minleyuan, the largest shopping mall in Chang'an.

At this time, Saige Plaza was still under construction, and there wasn't even a trace of SKP, so the 300,000-square-meter Wanda Plaza was the largest mall in Chang'an.

A few years after Saige Plaza was completed, Wanda Plaza completely declined.

Since he had come to Chang'an, Chen Fan certainly wouldn't return empty-handed; he had to buy some gifts to take back.

He counted them—his dad, his mom, and Lin Xi; three people.

And his cousin, Chen Tong.

Chen Tong was a sophomore in university; it wasn't summer break yet, and she was still at school, so he could go visit her.

In his plan, he would buy a watch for his dad and a bracelet for his mom.

As for Lin Xi, he hadn't decided yet.

Mainly because Chen Fan had never given a girl a gift before and had no experience.

As for his cousin, Chen Fan had originally thought about giving her a computer, but she already had one. For a moment, Chen Fan didn't know what to get her.

Forget it, he'd go in and see.

After entering Wanda Plaza, Chen Fan's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the 2010 Wanda Plaza to be built so well.

The indoor pedestrian street under his feet and the glass skylight overhead already had the feel of a modern shopping mall from a decade later.

He went to the shopping mall's directory board to take a look. The first floor was for department stores, appliances, jewelry, and the like.

The second floor was for clothing, the third and fourth floors were mostly entertainment venues, and the fifth floor had some restaurants.

After checking the mall's layout, Chen Fan planned to browse the first floor first, and once he was done, he would go to the second floor to look for clothes.

He walked along the pedestrian street.

Soon, he arrived at the mall's atrium.

Most of this area was taken up by jewelry display cases, with a few watch counters nearby.

Looking closely, there were many jewelry brands: Lao Feng Xiang, Chow Tai Seng, Chow Sang Sang, Northwest Gold Shop, and so on.

Chen Fan didn't really know much about jewelry brands, but in his previous life, the brand he had heard of the most was Lao Feng Xiang.

So, after some thought, he decided to make his purchases at Lao Feng Xiang.
