He Qing was determined to get the Rolls-Royce "Phantom Generation".
However, things were not as easy as imagined. When Manager Lu took He Qing and the others to find the antique car sales manager to ask about the situation, the other party said bluntly: "Sorry, Mr. He, that old Rolls-Royce has been
Someone took a fancy to it and placed an order."
"Has anyone bought it?" He Qing's face changed slightly when he heard the news, and he couldn't help but be surprised, thinking how could someone order it so quickly.
"Yes, someone has ordered it, so I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't sell that car to you." The manager said frankly.
"Manager Xiao, may I ask which boss made the decision? Can I talk to him?" He Qing asked calmly.
"Of course. This is a matter between you customers. You can discuss it however you want." Manager Xiao nodded and then pointed to the antique car exhibition area and told He Qing: "Here, you saw it, right? That's right.
The young man sitting in the car is the buyer, he ordered the car, and we are ready to complete the transaction with him at any time."
He Qing looked intently in the direction pointed by Manager Xiao, and what immediately caught his eye was a man of similar age to them. He saw that the man was very gorgeously dressed, and his attire was also very fancy. He was clearly a child of a wealthy family.
After seeing the mysterious buyer clearly, He Qing's expression darkened slightly, thoughtfully.
After a while, he calmed down his strange expression and said seriously: "Manager Xiao, that's not right!"
"Wrong? What's wrong?!" Manager Xiao looked away from the young man and looked at He Qing in surprise, not knowing what the other person's sudden "wrong" meant.
He Qing said solemnly: "Manager Xiao, what you did is wrong. Let me ask you a question first. Are the new cars my two friends just bought from you more than one?"
"Yes, they are usually in stock. Even if our company is out of stock, you can still order. We can prepare the car within the specified time." Manager Xiao replied.
"What about that batch of antique cars? Can we get a few more of the same model?" He Qing continued to ask.
"Then there is none. At least we can't guarantee that we will find the exact same one." Manager Xiao shook his head.
He Qing smiled and said: "Isn't that right? In my opinion, that Rolls-Royce 'classic car' is an antique and unique, so it cannot be sold as an ordinary car, because people who fancy it may
There are many, but you only have this one. What will happen to the other people who are interested in it? Now that something has been ordered, you don't talk to other willing buyers. This is irresponsible behavior."
As soon as these words came out, Manager Xiao and Manager Lu couldn't help but look at each other, and their expressions changed.
Gu Qing and Lin Haitao, who were standing aside, also reacted greatly, but their expressions were different. Of course they were happy and a little excited.
Because they knew very well that He Qing had already set his sights on the antique car, and now he came to negotiate with the seller. Unfortunately, someone got it first, which was a pity.
I thought that the matter was settled like that. There was no hope of collecting such a good antique car. Unexpectedly, He Qing had no intention of giving up. Instead, he put forward his own opinions, which were shocking.
"Mr. He, you are right, it is indeed like this." Manager Xiao nodded and said, He Qing's words were reasonable, and they had no way to refute.
Manager Lu also nodded in agreement and said, "Mr. He, you are right. It was indeed our fault that we did not think so carefully, but we did not expect that many people would be interested in and want to buy those antique cars."
He Qing smiled meaningfully and said: "Nothing is absolute, it is possible."
"But Mr. Xing has already agreed, and we agreed." Manager Xiao frowned and said, looking very embarrassed.
He Qing said: "What's the matter? You just talked about it verbally, right? He hasn't paid yet. There's still room for negotiation. Manager Xiao, let me show you a way, and I'm sure you can make a lot of money."
"
"Oh, what is it?" Manager Xiao asked curiously.
He Qing said calmly: "It's very simple. Go tell the customer the situation and say that he is not the only one who is interested in that Rolls-Royce, but there is only one car and it is difficult for you to deal with it, so there is only one other customer.
Find a way to sell it. Since it is an antique, let's use an auction. Whoever pays the most will get it. This is fair and equitable, and no one will complain. Isn't it the best way for you sellers?"
"An auction? This..." Manager Xiao and Manager Lu looked at each other, then rubbed their hands nervously and said, "Yes, yes, it is indeed a good idea, but... Mr. Xing will definitely not agree!"
He Qing smiled calmly and said: "If he doesn't agree, it's his personal matter. Just say this is what the higher-ups meant. You didn't make it clear before. I'm sure your boss won't object to this, right?"
Businessmen all focus on money. Profit comes first. If you do something that will make the most profit, you will of course choose how to do it if it complies with the law.
He Qing had no choice but to come up with this "bad idea" for the other party. If he had beaten Mr.
At this point, he only had to pay a little more, but it was worth it for the car that had subtly built a deep relationship with him.
As the saying goes, "If you are reluctant to give up your children, you cannot catch the wolf." If you lose something, you will gain something.
"Mr. He, I have to call the leaders above for instructions first and see what they say." Manager Xiao then said.
"Well, of course, please do so." He Qing agreed.
So Manager Xiao said goodbye immediately and walked aside to call the boss.
"Brother Qing, are you so optimistic about that old antique Rolls-Royce?" Suddenly Lin Haitao whispered in his ear, "That car is now priced at 20 million, and there is obviously a premium. Now except
Apart from the Silver Phantom and other few cars used exclusively by the British royal family, the most expensive Rolls-Royce is only 10 to 20 million, right? The most expensive one I have seen in Beijing cost 18 million, but
That’s an extended version, very cool!”
He Qing sighed lowly and said: "There is no way, it's just that I took action a little late. Let's auction it. Antiques are priceless. No matter how beautiful the porcelain is now, the price is very different compared to the past.
Woolen cloth!"
"That's true!" Lin Haitao agreed.
After a while, Manager Xiao hung up the phone and walked back.
"Mr. He, it's okay!" Manager Xiao greeted with a smile on his face, "The boss above said that we can do this. I will follow your suggestion."
"That's good." He Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with relief.
He was afraid that the seller would not change his original intention and insist on selling the car to the first buyer who asked, so no matter what he said, it would be in vain.
"Then I have to talk to Mr. Xing right away. I hope he can understand." Manager Xiao said.
He Qing said: "I think it's okay. You haven't signed an agreement. It's still too late to change your mind now."
At that moment, he, Gu Qing, Manager Xiao and others walked towards the Rolls-Royce.
Mr. Xing and a few young men and women were talking and laughing there to test the car, but the car didn't start. I don't know if the seller didn't allow it, or the car couldn't start now, or the person didn't know how to use an antique car at all.
But He Qing is definitely a good driver of that Rolls-Royce, because he has absorbed the superb driving skills from above. Whether it is an antique car or a new car, he can drive it with ease.
Speaking of which, he had already made a lot of money from the car show. The driving experience he learned from that "classic car" was a huge intangible wealth. If he didn't have such experience, then he didn't know when he would learn it.
When it comes to driving, it is even more difficult to learn to be at the level of a "car king".
When He Qing and Lin Haitao approached the car, the young men did not even look at them. They all looked extremely arrogant.
But He Qing didn't bother to look at them. What he was interested in was the car. It had nothing to do with them.
Mr.
But He Qing already knew all of this. He knew every part and every part of the car. He had learned not only to drive but also to repair the car.
"Mr. Xing, I'm sorry, I want to talk to you."
Manager Xiao walked to the curb.
"What's the matter?" Mr. Xing asked loudly without looking back.
"The matter is more important. Please get out of the car and let's find a place to chat." Manager Xiao said solemnly.
"If you have anything to do, let's talk about it here." Mr.
The money will be sent to you!"
"I'm sorry." Manager Xiao said quickly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to do a deal with you so soon."
"What's going on?" After hearing what he said, Mr.
Mr.
People are willing to pay this price to buy it, but now you are not the only one who wants to buy it, so I have to make it clear to you first."
"What?!" Mr. Xing's face suddenly changed and he said angrily, "What do you mean?! You really changed your mind?! That's not okay! Whoever said it first will own the car!"
Manager Xiao explained: "This Rolls-Royce is not an ordinary car, it is an antique car. We may only have one like this in the country, so we have to take into account the opinions of other buyers. I am really sorry, this is not mine.
I mean, it’s our company’s decision, and I can’t make the decision alone.”
"Haha, isn't this too ridiculous?! Why don't you follow the rules at all?!" Mr. Xing sneered, and then glanced at He Qing and the others who were standing quietly aside with a strange look.
He Qing asked: "Who are they?! They also want to buy this car?!"
"Yes, maybe they are not the only ones. Many people have asked now." Manager Xiao answered truthfully.
Mr. Xing looked He Qing up and down and said nonchalantly: "If you're not sure about buying it, then it's not the case. This car costs more than 20 million. You can't just sell it if you want to buy it. You have to be able to afford it."
His words were pun-intended, and he obviously looked down upon He Qing and others, thinking that they could not afford such a high price.
"If you can't afford it, you won't ask." Manager Xiao said with a straight face. Others don't know about He Qing's situation. Don't they, the seller, know it? Just now, He Qing and the others spent nearly a thousand dollars.
Wan, he has acquired two top-notch luxury cars. Ordinary people cannot afford such a big deal.
“Oh, really?” Mr.
His tone sounded extremely arrogant. It was as if no one was paying attention, but that was just his wishful thinking. Manager Xiao was determined to use the auction method suggested by He Qing to sell the antique car.
Manager Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "This is our company's decision. Besides, you haven't paid for it yet, so you just told me."
"But you clearly promised to sell it to me, how could you go back on your word?! Believe it or not, I will sue you!" Mr. Xing said angrily. He even threatened Manager Xiao.
At the same time, his group of friends also started to make noises, scolding Manager Xiao and others.
They were all so arrogant that it seemed as if the car had been occupied by them and no one else had a share.
When Mr. Xing yelled at Manager Xiao, a lot of people came over to watch the excitement. Everyone pointed at Mr. Xing and Manager Xiao and talked about it.
For a moment, the scene was a bit chaotic, and Manager Xiao was also very embarrassed, but he did not have stage fright, but said sternly: "Mr.
I just didn't have time to tell you the specific situation. You just walked away. The auction may be held in the evening. If you really want to buy it, you can just come to the auction then."
When things got to this point, he had no choice but to say this.
However, he knew that he did not need to be afraid at all. The other party was just scaring him. In fact, even if the other party really sued them, they would not have a complete reason.
"Okay, just wait and see!" Mr. Xing suddenly jumped out of the car.
They did not leave immediately. Instead, they took out their mobile phones and made calls, as if they were moving rescue troops.
"Manager Xiao, may I ask, is that car running normally?" He Qing asked suddenly.
Manager Xiao nodded and said: "Everything is normal. These antique cars are the same as new cars. They are not only works of art that can be appreciated, but they can also be used. However, they have passed the scrappage period and cannot be registered and driven on the highway.
"
He Qing said happily: "That's good. Can I try it? Just run around the field."
Manager Xiao replied: "This is possible, but there are conditions. You have to take out your driver's license and pay a certain deposit. After all, this is an antique car. If it is damaged, it will be very troublesome."
He Qing looked at Lin Haitao and said, "No problem."
It doesn't matter how much the deposit is, he hasn't got his driver's license yet, but Lin Haitao has it, so just let him get in the car with him.
So he paid the full deposit and got into the car with Lin Haitao.
Mr. Xing, who was standing by and watching this scene, had his eyes red, but he had nothing to do. After all, the car was not his, and except for Manager Xiao's false and arrogant verbal promise, there was no evidence to prove that the car had anything to do with him.
"Can you drive?"
Out of anger, Mr. Xing sneered.
He didn't believe that He Qing and the others could drive such a retro car. He had been groping on it for a long time just now but couldn't find any pattern. He just said that they didn't have the ability.
He Qing said calmly: "This is not the first time we have collected this kind of car. This is the first time we have seen it. How can we not know how to drive it?"
"..." When He Qing said that, Mr. Xing was immediately speechless.
He was doubtful about He Qing's words. He didn't know whether the other party was deliberately trying to exaggerate or if it was true.
But it will soon be proven whether it can be driven or not, it will be clear at a glance.
He Qing said it very easily, but Lin Haitao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was a little nervous because he had never driven such an antique car and had no research on its structure.
He didn't know where He Qing got such confidence. It seemed like he had been exposed to this kind of car often and it was easy to drive.
But the fact is that He Qing doesn't even have a driver's license, and I'm afraid he has never learned one.
"Haitao, don't be nervous." He Qing saw Lin Haitao's uneasiness and whispered comfort in his ear, "Actually, antique cars are similar to modern cars. The structures are basically the same, except for some
The details have just changed a bit.”
Lin Haitao also lowered his voice and said: "But, Brother Qing, this kind of car looks very strange. It will make people panic when driving."
Let alone an antique car, it is a new car. If you have not driven the same car before, you have to familiarize yourself with the situation before driving it. But now he has not done any research on this Rolls-Royce "Phantom Generation".
Everything was unfamiliar, which was equivalent to rushing a duck to the shelves. But with He Qing's encouragement, he had to bite the bullet and take on the job.
He Qing said: "Is it okay if I teach you?"
"Ah? Are you coming to teach me?" Lin Haitao was shocked. He couldn't believe his ears. A person who had never driven a car actually came to teach him an experienced driver.
"Yes, listen carefully." He Qing said solemnly, "Here. The valve and throttle knobs in the center of the steering wheel can be used to control idle speed, rotational speed and fuel supply. The lever on the right is used to control the shift from fourth gear to fourth gear.
Switching to fifth gear..."
At the moment, he took the trouble to explain to Lin Haitao some of the different structures of this old Rolls-Royce step by step. Lin Haitao pricked up his ears and listened carefully. After listening and thoroughly understanding, he suddenly understood.
Shocked: "Brother Qing, you...how do you know everything?!"
He Qing smiled and said seriously: "I have studied the structure of this kind of car before."
"That's it!" Lin Haitao nodded solemnly. Since He Qing said that, he naturally believed it.
"Okay, Haitao, let's drive." He Qing said, "If you're not familiar with it, drive slowly. If you drive for a long time, you'll get used to it."
"Yeah, okay." Lin Haitao readily agreed.
Then he started the engine and the car started roaring to life.
"Dudu——"
Suddenly, a horn sound startled everyone watching the excitement. The air horn in front of the car made a very loud sound. It was much louder than an ordinary car and could serve as a warning from a distance.
.
After watching He Qing and the others start the car smoothly and smoothly, Mr. Xing and his companions could not help but widen their eyes with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The other spectators around were also surprised, and all of them looked envious.
"Not bad! This car drives really differently!" Lin Haitao laughed loudly after the car successfully drove out of the exhibition site and arrived at the vast golf square.
He Qing nodded and said: "Of course, after all, this was a top-notch car. If it is uncomfortable to drive, how could it be favored by so many car enthusiasts?"
The two drove around the field for several times before driving back, but they were still not satisfied.
“The car is nice!”
After getting out of the car, He Qing said to Manager Xiao with a smile: "Manager Xiao, are you sure the auction will be held in the evening? Don't forget to notify me then, and you must be early."
"I know, Mr. He!" Manager Xiao nodded in agreement and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, the auction will be held tonight. I hope you will come to support me."
"Of course!" He Qing smiled without hesitation.
Later they said goodbye and left the scene. When they turned around and walked away, Mr. Xing and others stared at their backs and talked endlessly. They began to guess about He Qing's identity and background.
After trying out the antique car, He Qing accompanied Gu Qing and the others to go through the final procedures. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, two cars, Ferrari and Porsche, drove out of the auto show venue.
Since Gu Qing had not driven for a long time, when the car drove onto the road with constant traffic, she was a little scared and said, "Brother Qing, I'm a handmaiden. There are so many cars on the road, I'm a little scared."
"Then let me drive." He Qing said in a very calm tone.
"You come to drive?" Gu Qing was shocked and said, "Brother Qing, haven't you learned it yet?"
He Qing said: "Actually, if you have learned a little bit, it should be fine. You can park the car on the side of the road and let me try it."
His hands were a little itchy. He was no longer what he used to be. He had transformed from a rookie into a car king-level driver. It was just a piece of cake to drive a Ferrari sports car.
Gu Qing parked the car in an open space on the roadside as he said and changed places with him.
Not long after, the car started again, but this time it was He Qing.
The car drove freely under the driving of He Qing, weaving in and out of traffic without feeling depressed at all.
"Brother Qing, it turns out that not only can you drive, but you can also drive so well!" Gu Qing said in surprise.
He Qing smiled and said: "It's just so so. Qingqing, this car is good, isn't it? It's easy to drive and very comfortable to sit in."
"Yes. It's very comfortable!" Gu Qing said, "Then why don't you buy a car and drive it?"
He Qing said: "I will buy the antique car first. As for the car to drive, we will talk about it later. I want to buy an off-road vehicle. It seems that there are no good off-road vehicles at the auto show today, so I looked elsewhere."
Off-road vehicles are naturally more durable than ordinary sports cars, especially when traveling in harsh environments such as mountains. Since he may travel all over China to collect antiques, he naturally needs to prepare a wear-resistant off-road vehicle.
But there is no need to worry about this. If you have money, things are easy to do. In such a big city, it is impossible to find an off-road vehicle that suits your needs.
After the Ferrari was driven back, it was placed in a garage in the rental community. It was too late, so there was no time to apply for a license plate. Gu Qing would also have to take the driver's license exam later.
Not long after returning, He Qing received a call from Manager Xiao, saying that the auction was scheduled for eight o'clock in the evening and explaining the specific location where the auction would be held.
So after dinner, He Qing and the others set off and rushed to the auction venue. Gu Qing and Lin Haitao both accompanied him.
The auction was held in a club next to the golf plaza. When He Qing and others rushed to the auction hall, Mr.
He Qing didn't know any of them, and maybe there was a sitter arranged by the seller. But if someone named Xing was there, that would be enough.
Soon He Qing and the others were seated, and the organizer also explained the rules. The starting price is the price of the car, which is 20 million, and the price increase is 100,000. Each increase must not be less than 100,000.
Before the filming officially started, He Qing sat on the right rear side of Mr. Xing. Mr. Xing turned his head and looked around from time to time, with an obviously provocative look.
It was as if he had determined that He Qing could not compete with him and that the antique car belonged to him.
However, he didn't know that He Qing was more determined than him and was determined to get the antique car that he had strong feelings for.
After the shooting started, the competition was fierce at first. In the blink of an eye, the price climbed from the initial 20 million to 25 million, most of which were 500,000, and then one million.
But during this process, He Qing didn't say a word. He stood still because he knew there was no need to speak now and everything was waiting for the opportunity.
After the price exceeded 25 million, there were not as many bidders as there were at the beginning, and the price speed and magnitude also slowed down.
"Twenty-seven million!" Mr. Xing, who was sitting in the front row, raised his hands high and said loudly.
"Twenty-seven million times!"
Manager Xiao shouted while standing on the auction stage.
No one answered.
The people who had just competed with Mr. Xing seemed to have given up and were resigned to losing.
"Twenty-seven million twice!" Manager Xiao glanced at everyone and said.
Mr. Xing also turned around and looked at He Qing, his eyes full of provocation.
It looks so proud!
"Thirty-two million!"
He Qing finally spoke and shouted out the price.
He didn't do anything, and when he did something amazing, he gained a total of five million in one go!
When they came to their senses, everyone couldn't help but scream in shock, and all eyes turned towards this direction.
Mr. Xing stared at He Qing and was stunned!
"Thirty-two million times!" Manager Xiao shouted excitedly.
No one responded.
"Three-two million twice!" Manager Xiao reported again, but still no one agreed.
After a pause, he announced loudly: "Three-two million times! Mr. He, congratulations, the car is yours!"
In an instant, the whole audience was in an uproar, and the applause was like thunder.
