Chapter 223: Escalade
The Cadillac 4S store that He Qingquan took Jiang Hui to is located near the Asian Games Village, but it is not established in the car trading market like a bunch of other brands.
After He Qingquan made a phone call, the manager of the store came to receive him in person.
"Mr. He, hello, my surname is Zhang, I am the sales manager here, our boss instructed me to receive you personally, if you have any needs, just mention", Manager Zhang said.
"It's not me who buys the car, it's Mr. Jiang next to me who buys it, you can introduce the situation of the Escalade in your store, let's go see the actual car," He Qingquan said.
"Hello Mr. Jiang, let me give you a brief introduction first. The Cadillac Escalade is a full-size luxury SUV, using the new design concept of the Cadillac Century Concept Car, integrating a majestic and noble appearance, exquisite and luxurious interior, strong and unparalleled power, and many leading technologies in one, since its birth, it has become a model of luxury SUV in the United States and even the world. There's our show car over there, and we're talking about it," said Manager Zhang, pointing to Escalade in the distance.
"Do you have any cars in the store?" Jiang Hui asked.
"Look at the color and configuration, the top black and white have existing cars, and the other configurations depend on the situation", Manager Zhang said while guiding Jiang Hui to the exhibition car.
"The Escalade is extremely powerful, with a 6.2-liter V8 engine with an average fuel consumption of only 16.2 liters per 100 km, a maximum output of 403 hp at 5,700 rpm, a peak torque of 565 Nm at 4,400 rpm, and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of only 6.8 seconds," said Zhang.
"This car is so big", walking next to the exhibition car, He Ling said.
"This lady feels very right, and the most immediate feeling when you first see Escalade is 'big'. Escalade is nearly 2 meters tall, more than 5 meters long, and more than 2 meters wide. It feels very cool to drive such a behemoth on the street", Manager Zhang said, and then opened the car door for Jiang Hui and them to go up and experience.
"The Escalade's interior is as luxurious as the Mercedes-Benz S600 and BMW 7 Series sedans, using the finest materials to provide a subtle touch and a refined look. The leather mahogany multifunction steering wheel is electrically heated, and the three-zone individually adjustable air conditioning allows the temperature to be controlled separately by the three rows of passengers. The sound system is BOSE 5.1 channels and 10 speakers, and the shocking effect can be imagined...", Manager Zhang introduced.
In fact, Jiang Hui also has a special feeling for Escalade. When the FBI leaves the factory in American dramas, Escalade often comes, especially when some senior agents appear. The tall and domineering outside, the surging power, made Jiang Hui feel very satisfied.
"The black roof is equipped with a current car, right? How much will it cost to pick up the car today?", Jiang Hui asked.
"The price of the naked car is 2.58 million, and we give Mr. Jiang the most preferential price, 245, plus purchase tax, insurance, etc., and the full set will go to about 2.8 million," said Manager Zhang.
In 04, it took 300,000 yuan to win an Accord, which was nearly half more expensive than more than ten years later. The imported car like the Escalade is even more exaggerated, and now it takes 2.8 million to win in the Celestial Empire, and only 800,000 in the United States is enough. This is mainly due to the impact of customs duties, consumption taxes, etc., especially for a car with a large displacement like the Escalade, which is messy and scary of high costs. However, now Jiang Hui is no longer short of this money, he just spit and complain, and he still wants to buy it.
"Okay, then you go and prepare, I'll pay by card," Jiang Hui said.
"Jiang Hui, it seems that you have really become a local tyrant, I don't dare to buy a car for millions so happily, you bought it without even blinking an eye", He Qingquan said jokingly.
"Brother Quan, no matter how much money we make, we can't make as much money as you make commercials, I heard my sister say that you have received a few big advertisements recently", He Ling said.
"Haha, you see that this is really a girl outward, this is not married and she has started to talk to others", He Qingquan said with a smile.
When He Ling heard He Qingquan's words, her face turned red and she didn't refute, it is estimated that He Qingquan mentioned the topic of "marrying the past", which made her feel very useful.
"Brother Quan, has your company arranged for your band to hold a concert?" Jiang Hui said after changing the subject.
"I'm planning, it's estimated that I'm going to go to the second half of the year, and I invite you to be a guest then," He Qingquan said.
"Haha, forget about the guests, just leave me a few VIP tickets," Jiang Hui said.
Now Jiang Hui is not interested in life exposed to flashlights, and it is better to be a low-key person and do things in a high-profile manner.
"No problem, I'll reserve the best ticket for you," He Qingquan said.
……
Just when Jiang Hui and He Qingquan were chatting, Manager Zhang had already prepared the formalities and came over to ask Jiang Hui to swipe the card.
After paying the money and waiting for the meeting, Manager Zhang gave the information over.
"In this way, you can make a copy of the information for me to take back to the card, and you will pay the tax as soon as possible in the afternoon," He Qingquan said to Manager Zhang.
"Okay, don't you need us to help with the licensing procedures?", Manager Zhang said.
"No, I'll take the photos, your store just needs to complete the other formalities," He Qingquan said.
"Okay, we'll do it right away this afternoon," said Mr. Zhang.
"Jiang Hui, in that case, I can get the license plate tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will arrange for someone to send it to this store, and then ask the store to help send you the car after the license plate is good, how about it?" He Qingquan said to Jiang Hui.
It took two days to complete all the formalities, and he didn't have to run by himself, Jiang Hui was already very satisfied.
"No problem, thank you Brother Quan. I'll treat you to dinner tonight," Jiang Hui said.
"Haha, forget it today, I've been a light bulb for an afternoon, and I have to leave quickly. Next time our band invites you and He Ling to dinner together, we haven't gotten together for a long time," He Qingquan said.
The ambiguous relationship between himself and He Ling has long been seen by everyone in the Dream Band, so Jiang Hui didn't defend anything.
"Okay, then we'll get back together another day," Jiang Hui said.
"Where are you going to play in a while, do you need me to send you there?", He Qingquan said.
"Thank you, Brother Quan, no need, we can just take a taxi ourselves," He Ling said.
Then after a few more pleasantries, He Qingquan left first.
Jiang Hui and He Ling also came out of the 4S store.
"Where are we going?", Jiang Hui asked.
"Why don't you go back to the company? Then why don't we go to the supermarket to buy groceries and go back to Jinbi Garden to cook and eat by ourselves?", He Ling looked at Jiang Hui with expectant eyes and said.
"Of course it's good, I've seen Chef He's craft," Jiang Hui said with a smile.
