Chapter 41: Meeting Ling Fei Again (Thanks Huang Bingbing Wan Wan
Any successful man must have a Rolls-Royce when he buys a car!
What Wang Ye wants to buy this time is the Rolls-Royce Phantom. The Bentley he is currently riding in should be replaced. And this time he has been to the auto show, and it is more convenient to get it done in one go. In the future, he may not have time to do these things.
In the past, Wang Ye felt that he couldn't help but sit in a Rolls-Royce, but now, he feels that there is no problem at all. Whether it is wealth or status, it is enough to match it, and it has nothing to do with age.
Walk out of Aston Martin's exhibition hall and go straight to Rolls-Royce.
The exhibition hall of five or six hundred square meters is located in the center, and is a black Rolls-Royce Phantom. This is its iconic model and is also the goal that Wang Ye is preparing to start.
Known as "the best car in the world", the Rolls-Royce Phantom is undoubtedly the most shining gem in the car crown.
Most car manufacturers in this world play games around "cost", and they are careful in every link to reduce costs and maximize profits. Of course, there are exceptions that regardless of costs, such as the Rolls-Royce, which is determined to build "the best car in the world".
Only expensive prices can deserve its brilliance and grace, but behind the sky-high price is Rolls-Royce's adherence to and persistence in the ultimate luxury experience for more than 100 years.
You should know that they provided regular customer return visits in 1908. It can be said that Phantom has exceeded the scope of transportation in a sense, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mobile art palace. Since Phantom was born in 1925, it has been more than 80 years and has experienced 7 generations of car models.
Time is as solidified on the Phantom, and there is no ferocious element exposed with its fangs, but it still creates a sense of oppression. Without anger, one's own might be the best adjective at this moment. Just like standing in Jingshan and looking at the Forbidden City in clear weather, even if there are no towering buildings, it is still majestic. The thickness accumulated by history is incomparable to the cement jungle.
Rolls-Royce has only done one thing in the past century, which is the ultimate carving of luxury. The paranoia of injecting luxury into every inch of the car is really a bit scary. Luxury will never be abandoned by the times. Adhering to strict material selection, ultimate workmanship and persistence in tradition, presenting the luxury of a century ago to the contemporary era. Phantom does not require popular designs and high-tech configurations, which will be counterproductive.
Even though Phantom is equipped with a 6.75L V12 engine, the owner does not pay attention to its power performance. If the person driving a Mercedes-Benz and BMW is an elite, then the person driving Phantom is definitely the driver. If you want to deeply understand a Rolls-Royce, you must sit in the back seat rather than the driver’s seat.
The feeling of entering the back row from the door opens from the opposite door is like stepping into a medieval palace. All the carvings like works of art are enough to shock people. The heavy Alpine bull leather sofa cannot lie down. Give up the comfort of reserve is despised by the nobles.
If you look at the configuration alone, there is actually nothing outstanding, there is no automatic air conditioning, the rear window is not lifted and lowered with one-click, and it is even very difficult to open the door in the car, but is this important? Which Phantom owner will open the door by himself?
The moment the car door was closed, everything was isolated from the outside world, and the double-layer glass divided the inside and outside of the car into two worlds. Even though the car was full of traffic, there was no restlessness in the car. The 12-cylinder engine ensured unique smoothness and tranquility, and everything was as meticulous as a gentleman in a suit and tie.
It can be said that no matter whether the Phantom is still or accelerated, the passengers sitting in the back row will not hear any mechanical noise. The quietness has a strong sense of oppression, just like entering a museum, people will unconsciously restrain their behavior.
In fact, after saying so much, in a word, Rolls-Royce's stature is high enough that ordinary people really can't control it.
If you have an average luxury car, people who don’t have enough wealth will grit their teeth and buy it, it will be considered a supportive situation. But Rolls-Royce is different. This is really not for supporting the situation. If you are not strong enough, you have to buy this car. You won’t be envied by others when you go out, but will be made fun of.
...
Ling Fei was standing at the door in the Rolls-Royce exhibition hall. Whenever someone came over, she and other girls around her would say in unison, "Welcome to the Rolls-Royce booth."
Well, it's actually a concierge.
At this auto show, various auto manufacturers not only need a large number of car models, but also need concierge ladies. The salary offered is quite high because the girls required are also of high quality. Many students from their school come to do odd jobs, and Ling Fei also came with them.
With her appearance, it is absolutely fine to be a car model, but the car model needs to be exposed in clothes. Ling Fei is shy and chose to be a concierge. Moreover, the salary offered here is the highest, less than eight hours a day, and the salary is 800!
Wang Ye and the other two walked over, Ling Fei bowed to welcome him, and when he raised his head, he was stunned when he saw Wang Ye's face. Isn't this...he?
The girl must have a very deep impression of her first man. Although she only had that night, Wang Ye's appearance was firmly engraved in Ling Fei's mind.
She also speculated about Wang Ye's identity because people who can afford to live in the presidential suite of Peace Hotel must be either rich or noble. Later, Wang Ye's advertisement for her endorsement came out, and Ling Fei had already confirmed that that man was Wang Ye!
But she had no other ideas. The two of them just had a transaction. After the transaction was completed, they would return to their original world and would probably not have any intersection.
But I didn't expect that today I met again on such an occasion.
Wang Ye didn't notice Ling Fei. There were too many beautiful girls in the exhibition hall today, and Ling Fei was wearing makeup, so he didn't recognize him.
I walked directly into the Rolls-Royce exhibition hall. If it was another exhibition hall, if you came to see the car, there were usually no sales staff coming to receive it because there were too many people! And most people only looked at it and didn’t buy it.
But this exhibition hall is different, especially this morning, people who came here intentionally wanted to order cars, so as soon as Wang Ye and the other two came in, a salesperson immediately came up: "Welcome to me, what car do you want to see?"
These sales managers have a stingy vision and can tell at a glance that Wang Ye is a standard big customer. You can tell from his momentum that a man and a woman behind him should be all followers. Because only Wang Ye was ahead, the other two deliberately kept a step behind.
"Look at Phantom, you don't need to customize this time, right?" Wang Ye asked casually.
Rolls-Royce cars cannot be bought with money. They usually need to be customized and will take a long time to get the car. However, the auto show is exceptional, because there will be existing cars sold at the auto show, which is why Wang Ye came to this auto show to buy a car.
"Of course not. This time we brought several existing cars to facilitate our noble customers to purchase on-site. By the way, this auto show also has a specially customized private secret version! Mr. You can pay attention to it." The sales manager replied politely.
The sales manager took himself to see the so-called private secret version. It turned out that the front and rear seats had private partitions, which can be said to be the biggest feature of the car. The rear seat owner can adjust the transparency of the glass through buttons to form an absolutely private space. At the same time, the car owner can also communicate with the driver through the front and rear communicators.
This design is good. Wang Ye rubbed his chin and thought that in this way, the rear space will become a separate space? What do you want to do in the rear seat? The driver and secretary in front can't see or hear it...
This design is really evil! But I like it.
As for the unique wine glass and first-class seat design of Rolls-Royce, it is not worth mentioning and is not the focus of Wang Ye's attention.
However, the umbrella of Rolls-Royce is worth mentioning.
This umbrella hidden in the car door of Rolls-Royce costs 100,000 yuan in the 4S store! This umbrella is not only excellent in material, but also handmade. The umbrella handle is available in sterling silver and other materials, and the colors can be customized, and the English subtitles of Goodwood and Rolls-Royce will be engraved under the umbrella handle.
The length and size of the umbrella are strictly designed to ensure that the length and diameter are placed just inside the car door.
There is also a water guide on the inside of the door of the Rolls-Royce, which means that after the umbrella is used, the remaining rainwater on it can flow directly from the bottom of the door to the ground through this water guide.
It seems quite magical, right? It is actually not a high-tech configuration. Skoda Kodiak also has this function, but it is not as high-end as Rolls-Royce, but the process is not complicated.
Is an umbrella really worth 100,000 yuan? There is no doubt that it is definitely not worth it!
If calculated based on the cost price, it may not even be worth one tenth. It is said that the ex-factory price of this umbrella at the Rolls-Royce Goodwood factory is about 180 pounds, which is about 1,600 yuan in RMB.
Then why is it so expensive?
Rolls-Royce has a profit ratio for any product sold. There are strict controls on how much the factory price is, how much it sells in the country, how much it costs after export, and how much it sells in dealers or 4S stores.
As for the purpose of umbrellas, in addition to using them, it is a must-have for gentlemen to say that if they are nice, it is called a must-have for gentlemen, but if they are bad, it is called a dress. You can't let a gentleman in a haute couture three-piece suit go to the trunk to get an umbrella when it rains! How can you see people when the clothes are wet, and how can you show your style when the clothes are wet!
"That's right, that's it! I'll buy one in black car." Wang Ye said lightly to the sales manager following behind him.
Chapter completed!
