"You're telling me?"
"This thing costs 3.6 million?"
"This off-road vehicle? Three hundred and sixty?"
Lin Yifeng nodded again and added his own comments.
"The cost of landing is about the same, but the insurance is a bit high. The starting price is around 300 per bike."
"There aren't many units available in China, and I only got one because of my connections with a friend."
The boss looked at Lin Yifeng with a hint of shock in his eyes.
After a brief chat at the entrance, the boss interrogated Lin Yifeng extensively, and the two eventually exchanged business cards.
As Lin Yifeng left, he could still hear the shopkeeper muttering to himself at the door.
"Damn! This thing is way too expensive."
"But he's really handsome."
"I definitely want to get one to play with next year."
Lin Yifeng smiled; he had actually given the boss a monkey-themed business card.
I reckon the monkeys will be able to get a lot of business from here in the future.
As for the price, the monkey gave Lin Yifeng a friendly price, so naturally it couldn't be quoted directly.
Besides, this car wasn't cheap to begin with, and I estimate it will be available for around 350 next year.
If you include insurance, this car is enough to buy three Mercedes-Benz W140s.
In reality, the car's price is just over one million, mainly due to high taxes. If it were a grey market car, the price would be even lower, but there would definitely be issues with registration and safety.
Scarcity increases value, and Lin Yifeng acquired this car not only to satisfy his own needs but also to support his company.
If you want to expand to other provinces, people who come to discuss business will probably be dumbfounded when they see the boss driving a beat-up Jinbei van.
In business, face is very important, especially for large companies like Lin Yifeng's that have already reached a certain scale.
The next morning, Lin Yifeng drove back to Muye City.
This stretch of road in Makino City takes two days to travel.
These past few days, Veronica Yip has really wanted to drive Yat-Fung's car, but unfortunately, without a driver's license on the highway, she probably could have driven him to 200 miles per hour with a single press of the accelerator.
For safety's sake, Lin Yifeng still told Ye Yuqing to behave herself.
A day later, that very evening after returning to Makino City, Lin Yifeng drove to meet Ye Wuzheng and the others.
Ye Wuzheng and the others were also startled by Lin Yifeng's car.
Holy crap! Brother-in-law!
"What is this thing?!"
"So handsome?"
Ye Wu was leaning against the car window, his face showing excitement.
The people behind him also looked at this rare vehicle, not knowing its origins, only recognizing the huge Mercedes logo on the front.
"Be gentle."
"More than three million."
"If you damage it, you can't afford to pay for it."
Ye Yuqing, mimicking Lin Yifeng's tone, kept warning Ye Wuzheng.
Ye Wu first withdrew his hand, then started grinning again.
"Oh, it's a minor issue."
"Oh no, I'll have you go and pay off the debt, sister."
"This is no big deal?"
When Ye Wuzheng said those words, he had already anticipated the outcome.
When he saw Ye Yuqing get out of the car, he immediately ran back.
Unfortunately, Ye Yuqing was far superior to Ye Wuzheng in running. She caught up with him, grabbed him by the collar, and knocked him to the ground.
"Ouch!"
"pain!"
"Sister, sister, I was wrong."
Ma Ning looked at Ye Wuzheng lying on the ground and squatted down next to him, gloating.
"The bureau chief was knocked down by an ordinary citizen."
"Should I contact the newspaper for you?"
Ye Wu glared fiercely at Ma Ning.
"Why don't you come? My sister is considered an ordinary citizen, isn't she?"
Ma Ning shrugged.
Ye Yuqing simply turned around and gave Ma Ning a look that made him obediently retreat.
Meanwhile, Zhao Youming had already taken the passenger seat by the car, enjoying himself even earlier than everyone else.
"Wow, this car feels pretty good."
"It's just a little less comfortable, but it's still better than the others."
"The interior... was a bit of a steal."
Lin Yifeng nodded.
After driving it for two days, he also noticed this problem: despite its imposing exterior, the interior was not luxurious.
Zhang Guochen, sitting in the back seat, gently tapped the roof of the car, feeling its solid texture, and suddenly added.
"This thing must be a military-to-civilian conversion, right?"
"The materials used here are very solid."
"I feel like you could turn Zhao Youming's broken tatami into scrap metal."
When Zhao Youming saw Zhang Guochen bringing this up again, his eyes widened even more.
"What are you saying?"
"You're insulting me again."
Lin Yifeng saw Zhang Guochen had come forward and teased him with a smile.
"Those who came from the military really know their stuff."
Zhang Guochen is right. These days, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is basically a product of military-to-civilian conversion. Not only is this car sturdy and durable, but its safety is also unmatched in its class.
In terms of sturdiness, both Lam Yat-fung's and Cheung Kwok-chung's cars are among the best.
That's why the interior of this car isn't luxurious; the main reason is that the car is extremely durable.
As someone who frequently drives military vehicles, Zhang Guochen knows all too well how such vehicles would be simplified and modified for the general market.
Ma Ning stood next to Lin Yifeng in the driver's seat, examining the steering wheel in front of him.
"Brother Feng, how about we take the brothers for a spin?"
Lin Yifeng waved, and everyone crowded onto the car.
He turned the key, stepped on the gas, and sped out of the yard and onto the road.
Enraged, Ye Wu roared anxiously at Lin Yifeng and the others' retreating figures.
Hey! Don't go!
