Chapter 168:120, Chen Kainan, long time no see! Visit again the self-built house at No. 139!_3
They familiarized themselves with various price ranges for domestic and joint venture cars, and after collecting a bunch of brochures, the family finally settled down in a coffee shop within the car city to discuss in detail.
“Honey, come on, you go first.”
It was like a family meeting, and Lin Mo let his wife share her thoughts first.
Li Jinwen nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, “1 think that Starry Sky L is quite good, a high-end version on the road is just a bit over two hundred thousand, it has a nice interior, and it’s spacious too!”
“Huh? Starry Sky L?”
Lin Mo had not expected Li Jinwen’s aspirations to be so modest, “Come on, Mrs. Lin, your husband is a man who made 30 million in one day, can’t you think a bit bigger?”
“Daughter, come on, set an example for your mom.”
Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and immediately said, “Dad, I like that big car with the cross emblem, it feels so majestic!”
A cross emblem?
Lin Mo recalled the cars they had seen just now and asked with a smile, “You’re talking about the Lincoln Aviator, right? Hmm… it’s a good car, better vision than your mom, but still a bit modest!”
“You two, can you think bigger, please, and not be so stingy!”
Cars worth hundreds of thousands aren’t enough?
Li Jinwen bit her lip, clearly having a hard time letting go.
For her, a car like the Lincoln Aviator was already a luxury!
It was just for family use, there was absolutely no need to buy anything so fancy!
Lin Mo immediately discerned Li Jinwen’s concerns.
Seizing the moment, he seriously said, “Wife, 1 know what you’re thinking, and honestly, I also think that a car worth hundreds of thousands is pretty great, but have you thought about it? I’m now working with Uncle Tai, and I need to keep up appearances. I don’t mind, but it would be bad if I let him down.”
“Uncle Tai rides Royces, Bentleys, and at the very least Maybachs!”
“Besides, isn’t earning money meant to be spent? Otherwise, why bother working so hard to earn it?”
When in doubt, refer to Uncle Tai!
Lin Mo wasn’t sure how long he could keep up this benevolent lie.
Would he really need to find a godfather out there to claim as his own?
Ha ha,
Just the thought seemed ridiculous.
As for later, let’s talk about that in the future!
If they slowly grew wealthier, they wouldn’t really need to use Uncle Tai as an excuse anymore.
“Hmm… if you think about it that way, what you’re saying really makes sense, husband. Those big shots do care about appearances, and a car represents that. If you drive something too shabby, they will look down on you.” Li Jinwen nodded earnestly and asked, “So what car do you like, husband? Our daughter and I don’t know much about this, you decide, and we’ll listen to you.”
There it was!
After all that groundwork, this was exactly the line he’d been working toward!
Maintaining a marital relationship is truly not easy!
It’s practically a battle of wits!
With an excited smile on his face, Lin Mo stood up and said, “I did have my eye on a car just now, come on, let me take you to admire it again!”
Ultimately,
Li Jinwen and Lin Xiaoxiao, under Lin Mo’s smooth-talking, stepped into the Land Rover dealership once more.
They had visited this dealership earlier but only looked at the Aurora and Star Pulse models. Li Jinwen thought they were too expensive and didn’t continue browsing.
However, the car Lin Mo had his eye on was actually the full-size Range Rover!
And it was the official guide price of 2,498,000 yuan for the 24-model SVA Autobiography Night Edition!
It was almost identical to the car driven by Sun Honglei’s character Li Chengyang, only with slightly higher specifications.
When Li Jinwen saw the official guide price, her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
Although they had over sixteen million in hand.
Spending more than two hundred thousand on a car in one go was still hard for Li Jinwen to accept!
However, thinking of what Lin Mo had said earlier,
despite being extremely reluctant, Li Jinwen agreed, gritting her teeth, “Husband, as long as you’re happy!!”
“Ha ha! Great!”
This time, Lin Mo was truly excited.
Even more so than when he made 30 million.
To drive a big Range Rover…
And one that cost over two million!
It was something Lin Mo wouldn’t have dared to dream of in the past!
It was fulfilling a once moderate but significant dream!
Then, Lin Mo eagerly went to negotiate the price with the salesperson.
Li Jinwen and Lin Xiaoxiao, meanwhile, climbed into the vehicle to carefully explore.
A car worth over two million…
They had to see what made it different from those worth just tens of thousands!
Isn’t it just a gear lever, a steering wheel?
Why must it be so expensive?
The whole car-buying process went very smoothly.
The salesperson didn’t look down on the family of three, and their attitude didn’t change much after the booking, although indeed they became much more polite, nowhere near as exaggerated and melodramatic as the stories online made it seem.
After all, it’s such a big store, they sell a fair number of cars every day, and they have seen all sorts of customers.
After negotiating the price, the salesperson kept pushing loan policies on Lin Mo, things like three years interest-free, trade-in subsidies, car discounts, tax incentives, free insurance, and so on.
And overall, buying on credit actually turned out to be cheaper than paying in full.
But nothing is free; while the car price was lower, the loan interest went up, and there were various add-ons, like mandated insurance and service to be done at their dealership.
The buyer isn’t as shrewd as the seller.
In the end, when they learned Lin Mo wasn’t a local and insisted on paying in full, the salesperson’s face flashed with deep disappointment, but they didn’t show it outright. After finalizing the deal, they cooperated and completed all the paperwork..
