Chapter 025 - Suit thugs
When it comes to accumulating capital, Li Chuiwen is not busy dating women when he wakes up in the morning. As a business elite, he should have his own ambition and focus.
Li Chuiwen went to check on the renovation progress of his company, and the progress was going very smoothly. All aspects of office equipment were being installed one after another.
He focused on the boss's office. It had a bathroom inside and was connected to the secretary's room next to it. I don't know who designed it. There was a secret door in the bookcase in the secretary's room that could lead to the fire escape outside.
Is this for the boss's personal safety? Or for the boss's privacy and security? That's unclear. I heard that the last tenant was also a financial company, and people in the financial industry are said to have a lot of fun.
Li Chuiwen lamented the deterioration of the world, and then asked the designer to increase efforts to improve the boss's living area. It didn't necessarily have to be used, but it still had to have functions.
After arranging things, Li Chuiwen went to the next stop.
But Yuhuang Dadi is a little annoyed after driving it for a long time, because he uses a large SUV for domestic commuting, which is domineering. But in addition to being domineering, parking difficulty is the most frequent problem he encounters.
Because this car is too long and too big!
The length of 5.7 meters far exceeds the 5.3 meters planned for domestic standard parking spaces. It is almost impossible to put it down in roadside parking spaces!
The basement of the shopping mall is also quite cramped, and a big head will still be exposed after parking to the end. Only a dedicated parking space or a place like the entrance of a hotel can make it comfortable.
After having this trouble twice, Li Chuiwen wanted to change cars.
This big guy can only go to clubs and nightclubs to look cool, or go on outings.
If you drive it for commuting in the city, you are causing inconvenience to yourself.
He originally wanted to be happy when he became the boss, so how could it become an annoyance?
So Li Chuiwen took a look at his investment account. He made tens of millions more by adding more positions in the past few days.
When people have money, they do whatever they want. Now he wants to change to a vehicle that is convenient for commuting and doing business.
It needs to be luxurious and comfortable, but also powerful in performance, able to drive alone, and also able to sit in the back seat and be the boss... After being shortlisted, the person who suits him must be a "suited thug".
In the current executive luxury field, there are only a handful of thugs in suits. Mercedes-Benz S-AMG, BMW M760, and Audi S8, these three companies almost monopolize the market.
Among them, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class is highly photographed in business situations, whether in China or around the world, such as international summits, business meetings, etc. You will find that most of the cars driven by the big guys are S-Class.
Li Chuiwen also followed the trend and chose S-class.
It’s just that the new S-Class is really hard to describe. How can it be so ugly?
When this car was first released, Li Chuiwen thought someone was using Hyundai as a prank!
Not to mention that after looking at it for a long time, you will get used to the aesthetics and you will find it beautiful.
When the previous generation W222 Mercedes-Benz came out, everyone thought it looked very good, especially after the mid-term facelift with three-stripe daytime running lights, it was the pinnacle of aura and appearance.
Until this generation came out, Li Chuiwen still can't stand it. Although it is smarter and more technological, what can I say? It's still not his cup of tea!
So he only favors the previous generation, but it has been discontinued and is definitely no longer available in 4S stores. It is estimated that a very small amount of inventory is still in the hands of second-hand car dealers. Li Chuiwen wants to try his luck.
After Li Chuiwen finished his work, he checked it slowly on his mobile phone.
There are very few S-class AMG cars available. After some searching, I found that there was a car that suited my needs in Yuhang, so I called them first, confirmed that the car was available, and directly booked a flight ticket to set off for the next day.
Li Chuiwen acted neatly and quickly. After arriving in Yuhang, he found the boutique car dealership. All the high-end models sold here were Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Niumaren.
Li Chuiwen's current needs are very clear, that is, an S-Class that can be displayed quietly in the exhibition hall on the same stage as Ferrari and McLaren.
Just because it's S65-AMG.
The last generation of Mercedes-Benz S-Class equipped with a 12-cylinder engine.
This V12 engine is also used by the Italian supercar brand "Pagani".
The S65 is so rare that the probability of you seeing it on the road is much smaller than that of a Ferrari!
In today's era of electrification, large-displacement cars are sold less and less. These days, a 3.0 V6 is considered a large-displacement car, let alone a top-notch 6.0-liter V12.
Those who typically like it can't afford it, but those who have the money can buy a Ferrari. Only those who really love it will buy the S65 and enjoy this top-notch model that is dedicated to all technologies.
The car Li Chuiwen likes has a mileage of only 300 kilometers, and the listing price is 3 million, which is more expensive than a new car, but considering the purchase tax and luxury car tax, it is still reasonable.
3 million can already buy a Ferrari 488 in good condition. Li Chuiwen was also tempted, but he realized that his current needs are business and a scooter for commuting.
If you want to be satisfied, you can occasionally let the driver drive, sit in the back seat and enjoy yourself as the boss, with a charming girl beside you, talking about business worth hundreds of millions.
So there was no point in buying a sports car. He negotiated the price to 2.95 million, but the merchant was unwilling to drop it any further because the car was in pretty good condition and there was no shortage of market for it.
Li Chuiwen didn't bother to waste time fussing over the tens of thousands of dollars. After all, he was someone who could live on hundreds of thousands a day, so he paid the deposit.
After completing the formalities, I tried driving the car and then asked a tow truck to transport it back to Nanzhou.
Li Chuiwen didn't stay long. After completing the formalities, he took the materials and got on the plane. He went back and forth between the two places throughout the day, and fell asleep when he got home at night.
At noon the next day, he received a call from the tow truck master.
The car has been delivered downstairs.
Li Chuiwen couldn't wait to go downstairs to welcome his new toy.
The S65 is slowly being unloaded from the flatbed trailer.
Its appearance is not much different from the ordinary S-Class, with black paint, vertical logo, and three stripes... However, the bright "V12" logo on the fender and the AMG quad exhaust at the rear tell people that it is a Taiwanese
beast.
The conspicuous 20-inch electroplated wheels are unique to the S65, and the huge brake discs filling the front wheels all tell people that this is a thug in a suit who is not easy to mess with!
Li Chuiwen personally got into the car and started this V12 beast.
Cold start ignition produces a rich sound that is distinct from the ordinary S-class!
It always reminds people: Although this is an S-Class that implements luxury and comfort to the end, it is also an ultimate performance beast tuned by AMG!
I drove it on the road and ran for a while.
In the S-AMG family, the lower-level S63 actually accelerates from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers faster than the elder S65.
The S63 can reach 100km/h in 3.4 seconds, which is comparable to a supercar.
The S65 has more horsepower, but takes 4.2 seconds.
This is because the S63 is a four-wheel drive, and the V12 heart of the S65 is too big to accommodate four-wheel drive. High-horsepower rear-wheel drive will inevitably slip when starting.
But the feeling of the top version is always different.
Don't worry about whether this car can hit 100km/h in 3.4 seconds or 4.2 seconds. It's not that big of a difference. It doesn't even actively shift gears, just to offset the uncomfortable gear-shifting delays for passengers.
Because no matter which gear it is in, it can ensure that power is always available, and you cannot use it to the limit. This is the leisurely nature of V12.
Moreover, its suspension will adjust to keep the body level regardless of sudden acceleration or sudden braking, so that passengers always feel stable.
When cornering, the two sides of the seat will pinch your waist. Except for super violent driving, the whole driving condition is stable.
Chapter completed!
