In 2010, Bentley launched the Mulsanne, which was a counterpart to the Rolls-Royce Phantom. At that time, only fifteen units were released in China, and the retail price was around 8 million.
The Rolls-Royce Little Gold Medal, and the Bentley Mulsanne Little Silver Medal. This is 12 years old. This Bentley Mulsanne can definitely be regarded as a top executive business car. Car rental companies cannot rent tens of millions of luxury cars.
And as soon as you show up in this car, everyone will know that you are rich or noble. Although this car was discontinued for two years, at this time, this car is definitely a car for the top rich.
After all, the Mercedes-Benz S600 during this period was still a symbol of luxury cars. Most domestic Rolls-Royce and Bentley owners were in the Imperial Capital and Shanghai.
Zhao Mingyang was not able to buy this car in his previous life. He could afford a second-hand one, about two million, but there was no need. For a new car, Zhao Mingyang's total net worth was in the tens of millions, so it was impossible to spend this money to buy this car.
If it hadn't crashed, if it had received the second round of financing and then gone public, it would have been possible to buy a second-hand one, but most likely not, because Zhao Mingyang knew very well that once he had money, he would still have to buy a house.
He cannot afford the depreciation rate of this type of luxury car. What he needs is the appreciation rate and value preservation rate. This is also the idea of ordinary people who start their families step by step, and do not want to go back to the past overnight.
In fact, most of the people who bought this car later bought it second-hand, because the price of second-hand cars has really dropped horribly, and the maintenance fee after buying it is also very high. The maintenance fee for one year buys an ordinary family car.
.
Zhao Mingyang and Hao Ren were researching in the car and searching on the Internet. Damn it, they miscalculated, and an embarrassing scene occurred. At this time, the ownership rate of the car was too low, and there was no useful information on how to use the car on the Internet.
At this time, the functions of this car were already very comprehensive, including keyless entry, one-button start, a tablet computer with liftable rear seats, a space massage chair, a rotating tray table, a rear refrigerator, etc.
Many of these functions are available in luxury cars a few years ago. This car just adds more advanced functions. It will be five or six years later that these technologies will be used in cars priced at RMB 4 to 50 million. In another seven or eight years, they will be used in many ordinary cars.
For use in family cars.
The expensive thing is to experience some advanced things in advance. If you invite others to ride in the car, it will be extremely embarrassing if you don't know how to operate it.
By noon, Zhao Mingyang and Hao Ren had probably figured it out. Hao Ren was sitting in the back. There were more than a dozen buttons in a row, and he knew which one was to open the screen, which one to open the window, and which one to adjust the seat.
Which one controls the air conditioning and seat heating, which one controls the massage and lifting platform, etc.
There were too many buttons. Hao Ren took notes and tried again and again, hoping to achieve muscle memory.
"Mingyang, what should I do if the button breaks?" Hao Ren said worriedly. He checked online and found that an ashtray in this car cost 50,000 yuan. Why not rob it? It's so expensive.
"You can afford to pay for it even if it breaks. What are you afraid of? You can build it with all your strength." Zhao Mingyang said, anyway, our Bingbing family can afford to pay for it, and this car is probably insured. Later, the insurance company became a thief and refused to cover the expensive luxury car.
Guaranteed.
"Drive slower. It's going to cost you hundreds of thousands if you hit me." Hao Ren was still scared. Sitting in the back seat, he didn't have the air of a big boss at all. He looked like he had a knife on his neck.
"Don't be afraid of this. When I drive this car, basically everyone within a radius of five miles will give way to me.
Hao Ren, do you know the existence of mutual restraint? For example, in animal fighting chess, mice are afraid of cats, cats are afraid of elephants, and elephants are afraid of mice. They restrain each other.
Just like drivers, they are afraid of passers-by. If they fail to yield to pedestrians, they will be fined and deducted points. This has been implemented in Shanghai now and will definitely be popularized across the country in the future. But battery-powered cars are not afraid of passers-by. Battery-powered cars are afraid of cars. They are afraid of having to pay compensation if they hit them, or
If scolded by a driver, battery-powered cars will generally give way to other cars.
Pedestrians are not afraid of cars, cars are not afraid of battery-powered cars, and battery-powered cars are not afraid of pedestrians, but do you know what these people are afraid of?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"You're all afraid of meeting my luxury car, especially if it's not my own. If I borrow someone else's luxury car, I'll have to make you pay for it if you're poor. So if you encounter a luxury car in the future, you'll stay far away, and you'll be in trouble.
"I'm afraid of being hit and killed. I can afford it with insurance, but I can afford to pay compensation without insurance."
"What are you afraid of about luxury cars?" Hao Ren asked.
"There are so many things to be afraid of, such as Passat, A6, and yellow-carded ten-seater buses. Look at the license plates of these cars. Many of them are government vehicles. This luxury car must be given to others. The driver of the luxury car is right
These license plates are particularly sensitive.
Let’s drive this car out, and no one will get close to the car unless~”
"Unless what?"
"Unless my skills are poor and I scratch myself, don't put a psychological burden on me. I'm afraid I will be scared and unable to stop. Then we will be fine, and the repair fee may be one million."
Hao Ren shut up and didn't dare to speak. Why did you buy this car? Damn it, it costs too much money.
As Zhao Mingyang said, when you drive this car out, many cars will not come close to you, but Zhao Mingyang did not tell Hao Ren that this luxury car is most afraid of the elderly, especially those riding electric bicycles. Zhao Mingyang is also watching the road.
I am deeply afraid of an old man coming out.
What's more, the most feared thing about this kind of car is the electric car. If you get knocked down, you won't have any money, and there's nothing you can do. If someone takes a photo, you can only bite the bullet and say not to let the other party pay compensation, so as to earn a reputation.
But speaking out, Hao Ren was even more frightened. He might have been startled and stared out the window to say that an electric car was approaching.
Zhao Mingyang drove the car to a shopping mall parking space, got out of the car and entered the mall with Hao Ren. Hao Ren didn't know what Zhao Mingyang was going to do. He saw Zhao Mingyang wandering in front of a red wine cabinet for a long time, and finally found a wine bottle package in pure English.
The price was 199 yuan and I bought two bottles. Zhao Mingyang also bought several bottles of purified water worth 100 yuan.
He returned to the car and put it in the refrigerator and said: "Try not to drink this wine in the car. If it is spilled and it is difficult to clean up, you can give her this mineral water to drink. This mineral water is sold in many supermarkets in Shanghai. Baidu
At 1 yuan a bottle, at this level, she thinks your red wine is worth tens of thousands.
Let’s go to the villa first. The extras have arrived and have been prepared for you. You will become Mr. Hao and Master Hao tonight."
Hao Ren was really moved by Zhao Mingyang's kindness to Hao Ren. He came to a villa area, a single-family villa, and the car was parked in front of the villa.
When the house was handed over at 11 o'clock at noon, the real estate agent saw Zhao Mingyang driving the car and Hao Ren getting out of the car in the back row. He hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Hello, are you the one who made the reservation for this house? Do you want to stay here for a long time?
Do you want to work and live, or do you want to hold a banquet? We also have a villa that is several grades better than this one, and it is in the villa next door. This villa does not have an outdoor swimming pool, but that one does."
Hao Ren didn't know how to answer the call. Zhao Mingyang came over and said: "Our Hao always wants to try out a villa in Shanghai. He just came back from abroad and wants to rent a place to stay. Let's take a look here first.
Look at other places, Mr. Hao, our Mandarin is not good, I am his personal secretary and translator, you can just tell me anything you want."
"I know English and can communicate," the housing agent said.
"We, Mr. Hao, only speak Arabic, can you?" Zhao Mingyang looked at the agency girl and said, she seems to want to go fishing.
"Well~ that's not possible, then I'll trouble you to translate. I can learn it. I learn quickly." The young lady smiled at Zhao Mingyang.
