14: Chapter 14 The Second Generation of Coal Mine Owners Driving Cars
At 1:30 PM, the big boss of Wanhao Car Dealership finally arrived in a hurry.
At this point, there was only one hour left before Qin Yi's double cashback period for newcomers ended. The urgency of the time made the atmosphere in the entire dealership even more tense.
In order to serve this major client wholeheartedly, Wanhao Car Dealership resolutely hung a "Temporarily Closed" sign outside, and the main door was tightly locked from the inside to ensure no outside disturbance.
This action immediately caught the attention of the sales staff at the dealership across the street. They gathered together, whispering to each other, their faces filled with confusion and curiosity.
"Hey, did the sun rise from the west today? The dealership across the street actually suspended operations?" one salesperson joked, his tone revealing disbelief.
"Yeah, wasn't everything fine this morning? At noon, I even saw their sales staff eating outside, chatting and laughing," another salesperson added, frowning, clearly puzzled by the situation.
"I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I just saw their big boss rushing over. I'm guessing something important might have occurred," a sharp-eyed salesperson provided a new clue, sparking widespread speculation among the group.
"Could it be that poor management is forcing them to close down and run away?" someone said half-jokingly, but was immediately refuted.
"Don't talk nonsense. I heard the big boss of Wanhao Car Dealership is extremely wealthy. Apparently, he's a Second-Generation Coal Tycoon from Xishan. There's no way they'd go bankrupt so easily," a salesperson with insider knowledge explained, their tone full of envy.
"Is that so? No wonder he can open such a large dealership at such a young age... It's really enviable."
...
Soon, the VIP room door was gently pushed open. Qin Yi had just completed his final transaction—purchasing the limited edition convertible Bugatti Veyron worth 150 million.
Zhang Bo and Xu Qian both looked toward the door at the same time and saw the big boss, Xing Zhenkun, walking in with a beaming face.
Xu Qian immediately bowed slightly and respectfully to greet the big boss.
Zhang Bo also quickly set down the POS machine and turned to introduce this important figure to Qin Yi.
"Mr. Qin, this is the big boss of our Wanhao Car Dealership," Zhang Bo said, his voice full of respect.
Hearing this, Qin Yi turned his gaze toward the newcomer, and a hint of surprise rose in his heart.
This big boss of Wanhao Car Dealership actually looked so young, likely not even thirty years old.
He secretly marveled that being able to open a dealership of this scale on the prosperous Jiangzhong Road at such an age meant his identity and background were certainly extraordinary.
While he was reflecting, Xing Zhenkun had already enthusiastically walked toward him.
Qin Yi also stood up, responding with a smile, and reached out to shake hands with Xing Zhenkun.
"Haha, Young Master Qin, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Xing Zhenkun's laughter was hearty and warm. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Xing Zhenkun—Zhen as in earthquake, and Kun as in the universe."
Although Xing Zhenkun wasn't entirely clear about Qin Yi's family background, seeing him purchase luxury cars with such a grand gesture, calling him "Young Master Qin" was only natural.
Hearing the other party address him as Young Master Qin, Qin Yi naturally wouldn't lack in etiquette.
Qin Yi replied politely, "So it's Boss Xing. My apologies for the lack of greeting. I completely didn't expect the big boss of Wanhao Car Dealership to be so young and promising."
"Young Master Qin, you flatter me. Please, have a seat!" Xing Zhenkun greeted him warmly while sitting down on the sofa himself.
Qin Yi was also somewhat curious about Xing Zhenkun and immediately decided to use the 'Eye of Truth' to check him out.
Coincidentally, the two-hour cooldown for the 'Eye of Truth' had just ended when he finished buying the car.
Thus, Qin Yi thought to himself: "System, activate Eye of Truth!"
[Ding! Eye of Truth activated!]
As the command was issued, a faint light flashed through Qin Yi's eyes. When he looked at Xing Zhenkun again, his basic information appeared on a light screen.
[Name: Xing Zhenkun]
[Gender: Male]
[Identity: Chairman of Wanhao Car Dealership, Heir to Qiangsheng Group]
[Age: 28]
[Favorability: 20]
[Opposite-Sex Intimacy Value: 29]
As Qin Yi had expected, this Xing Zhenkun was indeed not simple. Besides being the owner of Wanhao Car Dealership, he was actually the heir to the Qiangsheng Group.
Qiangsheng Group was the leading coal company in Xishan and one of the top 100 enterprises in the Huaxia Dragon Kingdom. Its chairman, Xing Guoqiang, was also a legendary figure.
As for why Qin Yi knew all this...
It was mainly because Qin Yi studied economics, and one branch of theoretical economics was Coal Economics.
Back then, the professor of that subject had used the development history of Qiangsheng Group as an example.
Qin Yi understood: No wonder this guy could open such a large dealership at such a young age; he was a super second-generation rich kid!
However, when he saw Xing Zhenkun's opposite-sex intimacy value, a significant wave of emotion rose in Qin Yi's heart.
Qin Yi was envious.
29...
Damn, this opposite-sex intimacy value is way too high...
The point is, he's only 28, and he's already had 'negative distance' intimate contact with 29 women?
Damn, if he started from age one, changing one every year would still leave some left over...
What is a second-generation rich kid? This is what you call a second-generation rich kid!
Thinking back on himself, his years as a rich kid were spent in vain!
It really is a case of 'the parched dying of thirst while the flooded drown'!
As Xing Zhenkun took his seat on the sofa, Zhang Bo immediately served tea attentively and reported on Qin Yi's car purchases.
When Xing Zhenkun heard that Qin Yi had bought every car in the dealership worth over twenty million, an undisguisable look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Taking the list, Xing Zhenkun did a rough scan. The total price of 680 million made him gasp.
He originally thought Qin Yi just wanted to buy another expensive supercar. After all, he was a young man. While the cullinan was a luxury car, it was relatively steady; supercars were more to the taste of a second-generation rich kid.
Even though Xing Zhenkun was wealthy, even he would have to think twice about taking out so much money at once to buy cars.
Just what was this Qin Yi's background?
He became increasingly curious.
At that moment, the System's notification sounded in Qin Yi's mind.
[Ding! Detected that Xing Zhenkun's favorability toward the host has increased by 10 points. Current favorability: 30!]
Qin Yi looked at Xing Zhenkun with some surprise, thinking to himself: This guy is quite calm. As expected of a super second-generation rich kid. I've practically cleared out all the luxury cars in your dealership, and favorability only went up by 10 points.
However, Qin Yi didn't dwell on the issue too much.
He adjusted his sitting position, looked at Xing Zhenkun, and accepted the other's compliment with a smile: "Young Master Qin is truly generous!"
However, Xing Zhenkun's next question caught Qin Yi slightly off guard: "But, if I may be so bold as to ask, what does Young Master Qin plan to do with so many cars all at once?"
Qin Yi hadn't actually thought about this question before. He couldn't exactly tell the man that he was using the dealership to farm money.
But he didn't panic. With a faint smile, he began to make up an excuse on the fly: "There's no special reason. Initially, I just wanted to buy a car for daily commuting."
Hearing this, Xu Qian and Zhang Bo, who were standing nearby, immediately lost their composure.
Damn, listen to that. Is that even human talk?
A twelve-million-yuan cullinan is just for 'daily commuting'? How are ordinary people like them supposed to feel!
Xing Zhenkun also curled his lip, thinking: You're really laying it on thick, kid. However, he didn't expose Qin Yi's lie; after all, everyone has their secrets.
While speaking, Qin Yi's gaze inadvertently fell upon Xu Qian, who was standing to the side.
Who would have thought that with just this one glance, Qin Yi's attention would be captured by Xu Qian.
Because the Eye of Truth was still active, Xu Qian's information immediately appeared before Qin Yi's eyes.
[Name: Xu Qian]
[Gender: Female]
[Identity: Sales Consultant at Wanhao Car Dealership]
[Age: 24]
[Height: 170cm]
[Weight: 52kg]
[Measurements: B85(D), W60, H87]
[Favorability: 50]
[Opposite-Sex Intimacy Value: 1]
Whoa, a D cup...
This figure is quite something!
Qin Yi's gaze lingered on Xu Qian, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart!
Everything was where it should be—curvy where it needed to be, slender where it needed to be, especially those long legs!
With this figure, even compared to his ex-girlfriend Su Mo, she wouldn't be far behind.
He had been so focused on the System's double cashback earlier that he hadn't paid much attention to Xu Qian's appearance.
Looking at her now, his previous score of 90 points seemed a bit low.
Moreover, what surprised Qin Yi even more was that Xu Qian's favorability toward him was actually 50!
It seemed his aura of a god-tier tycoon spending money like water had attracted this beautiful consultant.
It was just a pity that such a good dish had already been 'sampled'.
But then again, who hasn't had a few experiences these days?
Especially for a beauty of Xu Qian's caliber, an intimacy value of only 1 meant she was quite self-respecting and not the promiscuous type.
Noticing Qin Yi's gaze, Xu Qian lowered her head shyly, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks.
She secretly speculated: Mr. Qin is looking at me like that... could it be... he's interested in me? The thought made her feel both nervous and expectant.
Probably not, right...
Mr. Qin is so wealthy and handsome; he must have plenty of women around him. Why would he be interested in a mere salesperson like her?
At that moment, the System's notification sounded in Qin Yi's mind: [Ding! Detected that Xu Qian's favorability toward the host has increased by 10 points. Current favorability: 60!]
Whoa, what's going on?
I just looked at her, and her favorability increased?
Qin Yi was secretly delighted but maintained his composure on the surface.
Just then, Xing Zhenkun spoke, interrupting Qin Yi's thoughts.
"So, what made Young Master Qin change his mind?"
Qin Yi gave a light cough to hide his embarrassment.
However, this also gave him an idea for his next set of words.
Qin Yi smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "To be honest, what made me change my mind was this beautiful consultant here."
"Oh? How so?"
Hearing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Xing Zhenkun's eyes. He also looked at Xu Qian and thought to himself: She is indeed quite the stunner.
As expected, men ultimately find it hard to resist a beautiful woman.
Zhang Bo also turned his gaze toward Xu Qian, giving her a silent thumbs-up in his heart, though he was also a bit confused.
Xu Qian wasn't like this before. Has she finally seen the light?
Xu Qian's looks were among the best in their dealership, but she just wasn't good at using her advantages.
Previously, a boss in his forties came to the dealership to buy a car and gave Xu Qian many hints that if she agreed to spend a night with him, the deal would be closed.
But Xu Qian refused to budge. In the end, naturally, no sale was made.
A deal worth over two million just vanished like that.
However, today's Mr. Qin was young, wealthy, and handsome—much better than that previous boss. It was no wonder Xu Qian had changed her mind...
Seeing all three men in the room looking at her, Xu Qian's face turned even redder.
Seeing this, Qin Yi realized his plan to use Xu Qian as a shield had worked.
So, Qin Yi immediately explained with a smile, "Haha, don't misunderstand, everyone. What I mean is, after this beautiful consultant's professional explanation, I felt that our dealership is quite trustworthy. So, I thought about buying more."
He paused and continued, "After all, many of these cars are limited editions. Encountering them is fate. Even if I don't drive them, buying them for a collection is quite nice. Boss Xing, I assume you're also a car lover, so you should understand what I mean?"
Although Qin Yi spoke sincerely, combined with the way he had just looked at Xu Qian, it gave off a distinct 'the lady doth protest too much' vibe!
Xing Zhenkun laughed heartily and replied, "Haha, Young Master Qin is right! Limited edition luxury cars are indeed good things; once one is sold, there's one less left. If I had the same strength as Young Master Qin, I would certainly collect more."
After speaking, Xing Zhenkun paused slightly, then shifted the topic and lamented with pointed meaning.
"Sometimes I think cars are just like beautiful women! Beautiful women are everywhere, but those that truly catch the eye are probably not many. So, if you see one you like, you have to act fast! Otherwise, if you're a step slow, the beauty might belong to someone else. Young Master Qin, wouldn't you agree?"
Qin Yi laughed inwardly at those words.
He knew Xing Zhenkun had already misunderstood and thought he was interested in Xu Qian, but this perfectly suited his plan.
He took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Boss Xing is quite the joker. Right now, I'm more concerned about the car orders. I wonder if Boss Xing has finished considering? Time is almost up."
As he said this, he deliberately checked the time, putting on a show of urgency.
