Chapter 347: Concept Car? Can't sell?
Before Gao Yang knew it, he had walked into the Mercedes-Benz pavilion, and the car he was pointing to was exactly the same as the six-wheeled pickup truck he had seen in South Sudan not long ago.
Gao Yang had long planned to buy a car for transportation, but he wanted to buy it himself instead of letting Morgan pay for it, but after discovering the Mercedes-Benz pickup, Gao Yang suddenly became interested.
The large-displacement luxury pickup truck was attractive to Americans, and the six-wheeled pickup truck gathered more people around than the others.
Walking to the front of the car, Morgan just looked at it twice, and immediately said, "Gao, do you like this car?" ”
Gao Yang didn't want to buy that pickup, he was just pure curiosity, and wanted to know what model this pickup truck was, so Gao Yang shook his head and said: "No, I don't like it, I just drove this car not long ago, so I'm just a little curious, but to be honest, this car is pretty good to raise." ”
As soon as Gao Yang's words fell, Morgan didn't have time to speak, but a middle-aged man standing in front of Gao Yang and taking pictures of the pickup truck turned his head, looked Gao Yang up and down, and then looked at Yelena who was pulled by Gao Yang, and sneered: "Man, I understand your thoughts, but bragging also has to distinguish the occasion, this car has not yet been listed, this is a Mercedes-Benz concept car, it is still in the secret stage, and now there are only two prototypes in total, and it will be listed as soon as next year, And the annual output is only 20 to 30 units at most. ”
Gao Yang smiled, but he didn't refute it, he just said that he leaked his mouth, and now he can't say that he killed a few rich Arab people, and then robbed a car to drive.
Gao Yang smiled faintly. Said: "If you know the way." Can you tell me the name of this car? I mean, what is the specific model of this car. ”
The reporter spread his hands and said, "Mercedes-Benz G63AMG6X6." That's what the car has to be called. ”
Gao Yang didn't speak, but Morgan, who was standing next to Gao Yang, said lightly: "Do you know a lot about this car?" ”
The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, I'm a reporter for a car magazine, and I make a living from it, so of course I have to know about this high-profile ultra-luxury pickup, but in fact, this car is not a pickup, it's just a super luxury off-road vehicle with an open trunk." ”
Morgan looked interested. "Go on." ”
The middle-aged man seemed to like to be pretentious, and said with a smug face: "There are too many places to say, this car uses a 5.5-liter V8 twin-turbo engine, a 7-speed automatic manual transmission, and it only takes less than six seconds to accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, with a ground clearance of 460 mm, an approach angle of 52 degrees, a departure angle of 54 degrees, and a body weight of more than 3.7 tons. Just as striking as the car's size is its price tag, which is expected to be in the middle of a half a million dollars. ”
Hear the price. Gao Yang couldn't help but shake his head, 500,000 US dollars, converted into RMB, it will cost more than three million, of course, if you import it to Huaxia and buy it, this car will not be able to buy four or five million, such an expensive car, Gao Yang feels that it is completely unnecessary, but Morgan looks very satisfied, he snapped his fingers, and said to Gao Yang indifferently: "This car sounds very powerful, I think it suits you very well." ”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No, I don't think so, this car is completely unnecessary for me." ”
Morgan smiled: "The gift you gave me is unique, and the gift I want to give you must also be unique, well, the car can't be unique, so the less the better, even if there are only twenty or thirty cars a year after mass production, such a car is worthy of you." ”
Gao Yang was about to refuse, but Morgan patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't say it again, it's just a gift in return." ”
At this time, the middle-aged man who seemed to be a reporter sneered again and said, "Gentlemen, this car is the highlight of Mercedes-Benz's year, how can they sell it?" Maybe you're talking about buying it next year? ”
After glancing at the reporter with a smile, Morgan waved to the assistant who was two or three meters behind him, and then said in a deep voice: "Go and call the person in charge of the booth here." ”
After an understatement, Morgan's personal assistant immediately left, while Morgan rubbed his chin and looked at the concept car, which claimed to be the only two in the world.
Morgan's assistant soon came over with a middle-aged man in a suit, and after the middle-aged man in a suit shook hands with Morgan, before the middle-aged man in a suit could speak, Morgan immediately said, "Hello, I want to buy this car." ”
The middle-aged man in the suit smiled apologetically: "Sorry, sir, this is our concept car, we can't sell it, if you are interested in this car, you can book it in advance, and when this model is mass-produced, we will hand over the car to you as soon as possible." ”
Morgan also smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I don't think you figured out the situation, I just informed you that I was going to buy this car, not to ask for your opinion, I thought, you can just call someone who can make the decision on this matter and quote me a price." ”
After finishing speaking, Morgan's personal assistant immediately handed over a business card, and after the person in charge of the booth picked it up, Morgan's assistant made a phone call gesture and said, "Go find a quiet place, call the person who can be responsible, just sign up for the name on the card, and remember to return the business card to me." ”
The person in charge of the booth didn't even have a chance to introduce himself, and after glancing at Morgan again, he hurried in with his business card.
After less than five minutes, the person in charge of the booth hurried back again, and this time when he saw Morgan, he stretched out his hand from afar, and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, thank you for coming, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Spike, and I am the person in charge of this New York Auto Show." ”
Morgan nodded, shook Spike's hand again, and said softly, "Mr. Spike, can I buy this car now?" ”
Spike nodded again and again, and said enthusiastically: "Of course, of course, the only problem is that you can't pick up the car until after the auto show, you know, this is our only prototype, if you agree, we will deliver the car to your designated location after the auto show." ”
Morgan looked at Gao Yang and said, "Gao, please accept my gift, so where do you want to send the car?" ”
After thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "Let's send it to my farm, this car is not suitable for driving in the city, and I don't want to drive to my farm, it's too far." ”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe you can send it to Portland first, and then you can drive from Portland to your farm, so you can enjoy driving without getting too tired." ”
Because Alilan Moson's studio is in Portland, and one of the main purposes of Gao Yang's coming to the United States is to make a special trip to get a gun tailored for him, Gao Yang will definitely go to Portland, so he happily accepted Morgan's suggestion and said: "Very good, then send it to Portland, but this will have to trouble you again." ”
Morgan Hara smiled, turned to look at Spike and said, "Good, how much?" ”
Spike said with a difficult face: "Sir, that's right, this car has not been finalized yet, so now our prototype car really can't be sold at a low price, so our price is 600,000 US dollars, however, we will give you a product of our company, any model under the price of 100,000 US dollars, can be used as our giveaway, and you can drive away today." ”
Morgan Ha smiled and said to Gao Yang: "Buy one get one free, this deal is very cost-effective, now you have to go and see what giveaway you want." ”
There is already a monster-level off-road vehicle, Gao Yang doesn't want to have an off-road, he thinks it's more appropriate to have a sedan or sports car, originally Gao Yang still wants to buy a sedan or sports car, he will choose a different brand instead of Mercedes-Benz, after all, it is no longer the era of saying that luxury cars are Mercedes-Benz BMW, but since it is included, it is naturally not in vain.
Gao Yang didn't know what model Lu Dao should choose to keep the price below $100,000 without losing too much, but now he has a knowledgeable person by his side.
Gao Yang smiled and looked at the reporter who was standing on the side and looking at Morgan stupidly: "Hey, man, you heard our conversation, so can you tell me what car to choose if you choose a coupe?" ”
The reporter woke up from a dream, and then said urgently: "A coupe under $100,000, of course, is a high-performance CLS63AMG, and it costs $95,000, and there is nothing more suitable than this." ”
Gao Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Xie Lu, thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it." ”
The reporter said dementedly, "You guys, how did you do it?" How did you guys buy this car? ”
Gao Yang smiled slightly, did not answer the reporter's question, Morgan took out a checkbook, wrote a number and handed it to Spike, and after Spike took the check, he smiled and said: "This G63AMG6X6 already belongs to you, someone will come to help you register later, now, don't you want to check your car first?" ”
Although the G63MAG6X6 was on display, it was not completely open to people, and a fence was used to isolate the crowd from the car, which meant that both reporters and spectators could only look at the appearance, and could not enter the interior of the car, and of course no one would open or close the door.
The car was already his own, Gao Yang took Yelena's hand and said, "Let's go, go and see our car." ”
Spike opened the door in the driver's seat of the car for Gao Yang, pointed to a slip of equipment in the driver's seat and said: "This car concentrates all our advanced technology in off-road vehicles, please allow me to introduce you one by one, first of all, please look at the switch on the left side of your head, this is the fuel tank transfer switch, this car has two fuel tanks, you can switch between the two fuel tanks to choose which fuel tank to use, in addition, please see the ......"
Gao Yang interrupted Spark's words and said in shock, "Wait, wait, you mean there are two fuel tanks on this car?" (To be continued......)
