Chapter 19: Buying a Car
Chen Mo stayed at Rayong's house for two days, and when the visa was taken, he immediately booked a plane ticket.
It was still a flight at ten o'clock in the morning, and I got up before dawn, and after the rendezvous, we left for the airport together.
"Hey, brother, we'll be in San Francisco at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll pick you up...... Uh-huh, let me tell you, don't forget...... Hey, aunt, we'll be there tomorrow, well, there are Xiaohui, Xiaohui's boyfriend Rayong, and a friend of Rayong. OK…… Hahaha, okay, okay......" Zhou Xinyi took the phone and grinned: "Then, my aunt wants to talk to you." Zhou Xinyi handed over the phone to Chen Xiaohui.
"Ah, Auntie...... We are on the way to the airport, okay, okay, we will pay attention to safety on the way. ”
The two of them had long planned to go to the United States to play. They have a cousin named Zhou Chenxu who is studying at Stanford, and their aunt is also there, accompanying them...... Parents accompany students abroad, which is not difficult to see among international students.
When I arrived at the airport, changed my boarding pass, went through the security check, and it was almost time to board the plane.
Rayong booked a first-class cabin, with two seats side by side.
After sitting down, Luo Yong patted Chen Mo on the shoulder: "I may go to Aunt Huihui's place first, San Jose." I'll be looking for you in Napa in two days. ”
"Okay. ”
Zhou Xinyi, who was in the front seat, turned around: "Silently don't you go along?"
"I'll go?" Chen Mo shook his head vigorously.
"In a foreign country, many friends and many paths. Zhou Xinyi stared at Chen Mo and blinked her eyes: "Don't be embarrassed." ”
"I thought I was as idle as you, but I was a person with a job. ”
Zhou Xinyi grimaced at Chen Mo, and said in a strange manner: "What a busy man......"
"I'm ......" Chen Mo grinned and made a gesture of knocking her skull.
Luo Yong smiled beside him and said, "Silently thin-skinned, I'm sorry, don't make trouble." Unless, you're willing to pretend to be his girlfriend. Otherwise, how could he be embarrassed to go over as an outsider. ”
"I want to be beautiful, this girl has a favorite male god. Love doesn't go, don't pull down. Chen Xiao turned his head away.
Chen Mo smiled bitterly and shook his head and glanced at Luo Yong. Rayong shrugged his shoulders innocently......
The long journey in first class is also relaxing, with meals, drinks, and sleep on board, and the plane lands at San Francisco International Airport.
After passing through the security check, Chen Xiaohui found their sister-in-law, a woman in her forties and dressed luxuriously. There was also a tall man in his early twenties with glasses, with a lot of youthful breath and pimples on his face.
"Hi Boss. Stephen, who came to pick up the airport, also found Chen Mo, opened his hand, and walked over with a smile on his face.
Chen Mo went up and hugged him: "I'm sorry for you to run." ”
"It's okay, it's idle to be idle, you can reimburse me for the fuel bill. Stephen's fluent Mandarin shocked Rayong and the others for a moment.
"Introduction, Stephen, a well-known American barrister, is a good friend of my master and my elder......"
Before Chen Mo finished speaking, Luo Yong introduced himself: "Hello Uncle Stephen, my name is Luo Yong, Chen Mo's friend. ”
"Hello. Just call me Stephen, that's what Chen Mo calls me. Stephen said with a smile and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder: "Why didn't you tell me that I had a friend coming?"
Chen Mo shrugged and introduced Chen Xiaohui and Zhou Xinyi.
"They'll go to San Jose for a few days. Chen Mo whispered, then said hello to Chen Xiaohui and their aunt, and left the airport together.
San Jose is in the South Bay Area, and Napa is in the North Bay Area, different roads.
Going out of the airport, Chen Mo and Luo Yong bumped their fists: "Call?"
“OK。 Bye-bye ......"
"Bye. ”
Outside the airport, Chen Mo got into Stephen's sports car, an Aston Martin convertible.
"Rich old fellow, how many sports cars do you have?" The Aston Martin didn't look like a new car, at least not the one you just bought.
"Less than ten. Stephen opened the cigar case, cut a cigar for Chen Mo, and continued: "In the summer of California, driving a convertible sports car is enjoyable. You can consider buying one. ”
"Let's go to the nearest Lamborghini sales center. Chen Mo snapped his fingers and said with a new trend.
Stephen laughed twice and went to the Lamborghini sales center in Auckland.
This is a powerful dealer, and the agent should be more than just Lamborghini......
Chen Mo's English was still not very good, Stephen went to the counter and said a few words, but Chen Mo didn't understand. After a while, a Chinese saleswoman came over and said in fluent Chinese: "Which brand of car do you want to see, sir?" We have Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti here. ”
"Does Bugatti have a car?"
"There are two models, one for each. Please come with me......"
Chen Mo followed to the Bugatti exhibition hall, this is an area that is not developed to the outside world, Stephen should be able to come out with something like a black card that symbolizes the local tyrant, so that Chen Mo can come in, otherwise he has to make an appointment in advance to see the Bugatti car. Chen Mo learned about these on the Internet after he wanted to buy a supercar.
There are only two Lamborghini for sale in the San Francisco Bay Area, and only here for Bugatti, and there are also existing cars.
One is the old, white, commonly known as the fat dragon. The other one seems to be a specially customized version, and the specific Chen Mo is not clear.
"The white one is the production version, the Bugatti Bugatti. The other one is a custom-made model......"
The second car is a combination of carbon fiber dark gray and silver, which looks cold and calm. But the price ...... The marked price is 2.25 million US dollars, and there are some accessories, which are 2.4675 million in total. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to buy a real car for a supercar of the Bugatti brand, let alone a customized version, even in an ordinary production version. The customized version is generally from the time the order is placed to the time the car is picked up, and it can be as little as a year or more than a few years.
Chen Mo shook his head, although he is not bad for money now, but the car of more than two million yuan is daunting and too ostentatious.
It is better to buy a car for more than 2 million yuan, as well as to buy a yacht. Chen Mo was very moved, but he restrained his desire very well...... At least, I'm not fit to drive such a car now.
Coming out of the showroom, Chen Mo went to the Lamborghini dealership to look at the existing models, and finally chose a 2013 LP700-4 Roadster, that is, a convertible.
There are four cars in the store, orange, red, matte white, and black.
Chen Mo's favorite black, but it seems that the sense of battle is too strong. The most important thing is that this is a convertible, and Chen Mo chose a more comfortable matte white ......
This Lamborghini is powered by a 6.5-liter, V12 engine with two carbon fiber plates on the top cover, which need to be manually disassembled and assembled.
In terms of price, I remember that it costs more than 7 million in China, and here it is 437,890 US dollars, plus about 10% of the purchase tax, it is less than 500,000 yuan.
Chen Mo chose the model and paid without hesitation......
