When Zhang Fan called William Lacy to say that he was going to buy a supercar, William Lacy happened to learn that the Aston Martin One-77 was accepting pre-order applications. Immediately introduced this limited edition supercar to Zhang Fan.

It's nothing to buy a limited edition supercar, and Zhang Fan also likes this sci-fi supercar. However, Zhang Fan was a little puzzled, can he apply for a sports car limited to 77 units in the world? If he runs to apply and does not apply, it will definitely be a shame to lose face in the Atlantic.

Zhang Fan is very rich, there is no doubt about it. He now has a net worth of at least billions of dollars. After all, a Pixar company alone is worth a lot of money, not to mention that he has other income in hand.

It's just that if Zhang Fan's property is put into the world, it is indeed out of reach.

Not to mention the large families hidden under the water, just the rich people on the Forbes rich list, the oil tycoons in the Middle East, and countless local tycoons from all over the world.

There are so many rich people, but there are only seventy-seven cars. Zhang Fan's net worth is ranked in the top seventy-seven in the world, and there is no shadow of him on the seven hundred and seventy!

The Forbes list shows only those who have really worked hard by virtue of their own abilities. Many of the richest people are not on the list at all, or they simply don't want to be on the list. Not to mention, among the many oil tycoons in the Middle East, which one is not rich and oily?

For example, the police in Dubai are patrolling the streets in supercars, and there are such things as gold ATMs on the streets. To build such a city in the middle of a desolate desert would cost an astronomical amount of wealth.

In the face of Zhang Fan's concerns, William Lacey quickly explained. Limited edition supercars aren't for the money, after all, even the best supercars can't sell for the price of a private jet. They do propaganda for the sake of fame, for the sake of the manufacturer's reputation.

And celebrities like Zhang Fan, who have strong wealth and strength, and also have the world's top reputation, bought a limited edition supercar. That's exactly what Aston Martin wants to see.

William Lacey used his professional honor to assure Zhang Fan that as long as Zhang Fan went to buy it, he would definitely be able to order an Aston Martin One-77.

Zhang Fan chose to believe William Lacy's words. Because he has always believed in professionals, especially in industries he doesn't understand. Since William Lacey has said so, and Zhang Fan is also very interested in this supercar, then go and buy it.

Soon, Zhang Fan and William Lacy drove together to Aston Martin's Los Angeles branch.

The reason why I didn't go to the Aston Martin store was that I went straight to the branch. That's because the only place to buy a limited-edition supercar is here. Who has ever seen someone who buys a limited-edition supercar buy it in a specialty store?

Originally, this kind of thing only needed to be entrusted to William Lacy to do, and Zhang Fan didn't need to come forward at all. It's just that Zhang Fan wants to see and understand, so he also comes along.

William Lacey was introduced to Zhang Fan by Scarlett as one of the best supercar intermediaries in Los Angeles. There's a lot of face involved in this. Once something fails, it will definitely not only affect Zhang Fan alone.

People like William Lacy value reputation because they live on it. Since he told Zhang Fan that there must be no problem, he must do it no matter what. This is the moment when his strength will be truly tested.

Sure enough, William Lacey was very capable. After accompanying Zhang Fan to Aston Martin's branch in Los Angeles, it didn't take too long to complete the purchase and successfully order a limited edition Aston Martin One-77. And it's the quota on the side of the United States.

"I found an interesting thing. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the lavish living room of the Aston Martin branch, Zhang Fan looked out at the bustling street: "There are many offices of world-renowned car manufacturers. ”

Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to the trademarks of those famous car manufacturers outside the window: "Ferrari, Pagani, Porsche, Lamborghini." ”

Zhang Fan turned to look at William Lacey, who was sitting on the sofa and carefully reading the documents: "Why do these car manufacturers put their branches in Los Angeles instead of New York, the real business capital?"

William Lacey handed over the document in his hand to his assistant on the side, got up with a smile and came to Zhang Fan's side to introduce him, "Because California is the world's most important consumer of supercars." ”

Zhang Fan showed a sudden look on his face: "Because there is Hollywood here." ”

"Yes. William Lacy likewise nodded, "Because there's Hollywood here." ”

The film industry is very large, and the annual output is very large. And the income of related practitioners is also very expensive. Especially those young men and women who don't have any other talents, but can enter the crew just because of their outstanding appearance and figure, or because of some other special characteristics. After getting a large amount of remuneration in their hands, the vast majority of them have no concept of investment and financial management at all, and directly consume and consume. This is also a traditional feature of the United States.

Hollywood has a lot of people who don't have a high level of education. This is true not only of the actors, but also of many of the professional staff of the crew. Because there are many positions in the film industry that do not require too much professional knowledge, or depending on the level of talent.

For example, makeup, this technique is how to learn it in school, and only the feeling that you develop after a long period of work is the real skill. In addition, what kind of camera, lighting, props, etc. are not positions that require highly educated talents.

Hollywood has a lot of investment in films, and a large part of it is spent on the remuneration of the crew, including the actors.

These young men and women with low educational qualifications naturally start to consume drunk dreams after getting a lot of remuneration, and the cool supercar is naturally one of them. This is the quintessential American dream.

When Zhang Fan and William Lacey left the Aston Martin branch, the person in charge of the branch personally sent Zhang Fan to the parking lot. It can be seen that they attach great importance to Zhang Fan.

"Mr. Zhang, your current reputation is already world-class. "For Aston Martin, you can drive their car, that's the best advertisement." Especially if you don't accept any advertising shoots, it's especially precious. ”

"Should I ask them for royalties? After all, it's a disguised advertising campaign. Zhang Fan raised his hand and rubbed his chin, "I didn't think about giving me one for free." ”

"If it's not a global limited edition, there's absolutely no problem with giving you a regular supercar. William Lacey responded with a smile, "Actually, they already have discounts, and the discounts are very low." ”

"Four million dollars is still called a low price?" Zhang Fan raised his hand and rubbed his hair, he didn't expect this car to be so expensive. If he had known the price, he would have come.

"It's really a concession. William Lacey explained to Zhang Fan with a serious expression, "First of all, I gave you a quota for the United States, not a quota for China." Secondly, they have discounted it very low, and the real price of the supercar is roughly between six million and eight million dollars, depending on the country. Mr. Zhang, the price you got is definitely the best. ”

"It seems that they are using this as my endorsement fee. Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window, "My worth is not so low." ”

William Lacey quieted down, he couldn't talk nonsense at this time. After all, Aston Martin is a big partner for him. Once he said something wrong at this time, Zhang Fan had a rebellious mind and gave up the order directly, it was not something that could be solved by the loss of intermediary fees.

"Don't rush back to Malibu Beach just yet. After a moment of silence, Zhang Fan suddenly stopped William Lacey, who was driving, "Go to the specialty stores of those supercars." ”

Zhang Fan has already figured it out, now that he has ordered this Aston Martin One-77. Then there is no need to go back. It's just a supercar with a few million, and he can afford it.

It's just that Zhang Fan doesn't like to be used. I don't want to just advertise for Aston Martin. Therefore, he decided to buy a few more supercars of different brands, so that the influence of this matter would be weakened to a minimum!

Since he decided to make a big purchase of supercars, Zhang Fan also let it go. Isn't it just a supercar, hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a car? Even if you buy ten cars in one go, you can't drain your wallet. It's a big deal to find an opportunity to go to Japan again to participate in some commercial performances, and all these expenses are back.

For a whole afternoon, Zhang Fan was like those housewives who attended the big party in the department store at Christmas, wandering around the many world-famous supercar stores.

Under William Lacey's introduction, Zhang Fan's harvest throughout the afternoon was very rich.

Sweden's Royal Ghost Koenigsegg, with its fantastic body and explosive speed, was bought by Zhang Fan for $3.5 million.

The Italian brand, produced in a factory in France, and the famous supercar Bugatti Weihang, a subsidiary of Volkswagen in Germany, was pocketed by Zhang Fan at a price of nearly four million US dollars.

Also from Italy, with a high-power engine and ultra-high speed, Lamborghini's flagship sports car Aventador LP700-4, Zhang Fan's purchase price is 1.2 million US dollars.

Ferrari, the world's most recognizable and symbolised by a jumping horse, is also indispensable. Zhang Fan bought a supercar named after Enzo Ferrari, the founder of Ferrari, the world's fastest production car without turbocharging. As for the price, it is not expensive, only less than $700,000. This may be due to the fact that Ferrari produces too much.

As for another indispensable brand, it is naturally Porsche, Germany, which is famous all over the world for its fine craftsmanship. Zhang Fan bought a hybrid supercar Porsche 918. The diesel-electric hybrid system is priced at $2 million.

When all the stores saw Zhang Fan coming to buy a car, they all said that they wanted to give it to Zhang Fan for free. It's a pity that all of them were rejected by Zhang Fan.

The sports car you bought with your own money is completely different in nature from the sports car given away by the store!

At this time, the influence of Zhang Fan's personal image is far from being comparable to several supercars!
