Chapter 218: Buying a car

In front of Mr. Senna, he called Carrefour to send someone to negotiate, this company as the largest supermarket chain in Europe, the number of stores is more than Wal-Mart, has been ambitious to compete with Wal-Mart in the US market, but the plan is not going well, Qugou is in this situation, Carrefour company favors.

Last time, Wal-Mart also sent someone to talk about the acquisition, the sincerity of the bid was insufficient, and the team leader didn't know which brain nerve was wrong, and even threatened Su Mu that "under the expansion of Wal-Mart, other supermarkets have no room for development", and I don't know who gave him the confidence, and he was not interested in talking about it, so he directly and clearly refused.

In recent years, Wal-Mart has developed too fast, resulting in uneven quality of employees, and the momentum of development is undoubted, the old Sam Walton is old, and his health is not very good in recent years, and the new CEO is quite bold, and he sees the company's problems, slows down the development momentum and rectifies the American market, focuses on globalization, and Carrefour is in direct contact with the external expansion, and starts a one-two dispute.

The giants fought, and the fun shopping supermarket did not participate, Su Mu only planned to use it as a bargaining chip and sell it at a good price, in fact, he was already moved by Carrefour's sincere offer, but who would be afraid of the money, and discussed with Senna for a while, and researched a higher offer, so he left from Wall Street......

After the financial crisis passed, the economic growth lacked momentum and the recovery rate was slow, which made many financiers on Wall Street lament that life was sad.

After chatting with lawyer Thompson and Senna respectively, Su Mu found that he had nothing to do, so he simply went to the gallery with a rich collection again, and picked and bought more than 3 million US dollars of goods, including a set of Ming Dynasty red furniture, which only cost more than 400,000 US dollars, and directly asked the boss to help deliver them to Menlo Park.

Having seen Senna's underground parking lot filled with luxury cars, and seeing Lily's mansion full of antiques, he felt the need to improve his quality of life, and Morgan Bank's personal assistant made an appointment with a Rolls-Royce representative to try to buy a few cars.

I thought I would have to wait a few days, but I didn't expect to get a reply soon, a Rolls-Royce staff called and politely asked him where he was in a British tone, he had nothing to do, and the people from Carrefour would only arrive tomorrow, so Su Mu said that the café where he met Mr. Senna last time was close to the Empire State Building.

How to turn "death to face" into "elegance" is definitely a technical job, the British have done a good job in this regard, unlike the selfishness and stinginess of the residents of the vast majority of European countries, the vast majority of British people are polite, self-contained and patient, so they look down on the rude Americans, and the Americans are also not used to the arrogance of the British, as the descendants of the old empire on which the sun never sets, they are still immersed in the glory of their ancestors, even if they were almost conquered during World War II, they cannot change the arrogance in their bones.

Cultural traditions are deeply integrated into British products, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Jaguar, not to mention how these brands sell, the appearance of the British style is deeply loved by some people, there are young "suit thugs" Aston Martin, there are also "old gentlemen" Rolls-Royce, as for Jaguar and Bentley, the product positioning is a little embarrassing, one wants to imitate Aston, one wants to imitate Rolls-Royce, after all, it is a little bit of its own heritage.

The economy is not good, the products are not easy to sell, and it is not easy to meet a big customer who has a few cars, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars showed enough attention, drove two different models of Rolls-Royce, and came to visit the customer Sumu.

The café clerks still remember Su Mu, after all, there are not many young Chinese who drive Ferraris, and they felt rich last time, but at this moment, they saw two Rolls-Royces parked on the side of the road, and five men in suits and leather shoes came to look for him, and they felt even more unfathomable, and secretly guessed whether it was the Chinese who bought the Empire State Building......

Buying a car is very grand, Su Mu thinks it's quite interesting, full of ceremony, and suddenly the Rolls-Royce brand grade has been upgraded.

Speaking of the ritual sense of the upper mainstream society, most of them are moving closer to the UK, eating, dressing, socializing, etc., you can always find the shadow of the UK, Su Mu heard that the residents of Chinatown over there are more comfortable than the United States, and rarely encounter discrimination and the like, which has a good impression of this country.

When they arrived, Su Mu was flipping through the watch magazine, and the Briton led by him had just the right smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to him respectfully: "Sue, I'm Marco Louis, sales manager of Rolls-Royce USA, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, the traffic situation in New York is really bad, but even so, it's slightly better than London, and the weather is good today, which is suitable for buying a car." ”

Su Mu couldn't appreciate the British humor, stood up and shook hands, and said with a smile: "Please sit down, gentlemen, you can drink whatever you want, I'm in for a treat, their macarons taste good, if you are interested, you can taste them." ”

The VIP customer recommended by JPMorgan Bank, old Louis did not doubt Su Mu's financial strength at all, otherwise he would not be so formal, even if he had been dealing with upper-class people for a long time, he still felt that the little Chinese guy in front of him was very powerful, very powerful, a few bodyguards around him, and the Empire State Building not far away, which was enough to explain many problems.

Without refusal, he replied with a smile: "It's really good, I like desserts, and I remember that there was a shop on the Champs-Élysées in France that specialized in making macarons, and the taste was simply fascinating." ”

After Su Mu sat down, he cut straight to the point and asked: "Can your company only make reservations, is there any stock?" I plan to buy five or six, if there is not enough stock, it is okay to deliver a batch to me first, I sat once when I was a child, and I thought it was magnificent. ”

Louis Sr. shook his head and said, "I don't know, I need to make a phone call to the Goodwood factory, maybe someone happens to cancel the order, maybe you don't know, our company is different from other car manufacturers, we specialize in producing cars according to customer needs, so we never produce in advance."

The day before yesterday, a customer specially cut down hundreds of years old trees in his yard, and asked our company to use the wood of this tree to create car interior decoration, body color, etc., which can be customized at will, say what you need, we always have a way to achieve it, so in addition to second-hand cars, the number of current cars in the company is not much, but there should be. ”

"Then buy me the current car, the appearance is black and white, and I will customize a few more, maybe more, and deliver it to my employees at the end of the year, as a year-end bonus gift, in addition to the car and house, money, I really can't think of what to give them......"

There are various plans in the atlas, Su Mu is too lazy to bother, he chooses black, the interior and so on are the same, the price is 260,000 US dollars each, which is not expensive for him, and he directly ordered eight cars, four of which are so-called bulletproof versions, and the price is more than three times that of the ordinary version.

There is only a bulletproof version of the current car, an ordinary version of the current car, and the rest need to wait for customization, and the delivery time is as long as half a year, if it were not for Rolls-Royce's recent bad days, the number of orders has been greatly reduced, and it has come to the brink of bankruptcy, and the delivery time will not be so short.

It is rare to meet such a good customer, Mr. Louis Sr. was pleasantly surprised, and took the initiative to give a discount, paying a total of three million 1 million US dollars, antiques are collectibles, cars are consumer goods, and more than six million US dollars are spent in just a few hours, and it is difficult for ordinary families to make so much money in their lifetime.

The café waiter, who happened to hear the amount, kept flattering Su Mu after Old Louis and his party left, and her appearance was quite beautiful, which made Su Mu think that there was something wrong with her.

After checking out, I went out and looked out at the Empire State Building with a coffee cup, this building looks ordinary, and it is indeed time to renovate, it is not clear how the Empire State Building United Company will respond, the only thing to do now is to wait and see what happens.

The mobile phone rang, Su Mu received good news, Bush Jr. personally called, inviting him to attend the presidential oath-taking ceremony at the end of the month, when so many senior politicians were present, it was a good opportunity to make contacts, he did not plan to miss it, told him that he would definitely go.

Then he made a phone call and told Lily about it, asking her if she had time then......
