Chapter 007 Buying a Car in Los Angeles

An Feng's comfortable life was about to begin, but he missed one thing: he didn't consider his food and drink issues, the kitchen was empty, and the utensils were not complete. So he ate dinner with his employees, or to be honest, the boss was going to have a free meal.

He didn't know anything at all. He talked to them all night with Chinese English and gestures and gained a lot. The first is that he had to learn local English again. Although he had a level 4, he had to really communicate with foreigners... He couldn't understand what the other party said at all.

Except for Old John, because he was very formal when talking to him, like a conversation or news report in a university book. However, when speaking to several other young people, various abbreviations, slang, and Internet terms were like An Feng speaking Mandarin. The sentence "Damn" immediately killed a foreigner who was learning Chinese.

With the help of Old John, An Feng posted the recruitment information to the online agency and offered a high price of US$2,000 per week. Of course, the quality must be guaranteed. He did not want to invite a second-rate teacher, and he still didn't know anything after studying for several months. He also attached several conditions: one is to speak Chinese; the other is to live in the county (county) to facilitate the exchange of customs and customs; the third is to be a woman, and he was not interested in talking to a man for a day.

After continuing to fill my stomach in the morning, I was about to clean the house, but I stood by the empty swimming pool with a broom and looked at the sky lazily. Almost all the blue sky and white clouds were everywhere. The air was very fresh. I was always thinking about convertibles. It was said that in California, I had to drive convertibles to be stylish. I was really itchy.

Jess, a female worker who just drove back from the city, acted as his driver. The reason why he didn't drive was because he didn't plan to return empty-handed on the trip. Of course, Jess who drove had overtime pay and reimbursed fuel, which was also a fatal blow. You can get a bonus by driving and enjoying the scenery.

"Thank you, Jessie, it's a problem if there is no taxi nearby." An Feng sat in the co-pilot and tied himself up with a seat belt.

"It doesn't matter, the bus system and taxi industries in small cities are not developed, and you usually have to drive by yourself. Where are you going?" Jessy asked.

He said in slow English: "I want to buy a car, which one is closer, San Francisco or Los Angeles?"

"It's the same. It's about 250 kilometers to run Interstate 5. But if you want to buy a car, it's best to go to LA, which is a metropolis."

"Then go to LA."

The journey is not short, but someone doesn't feel bored when chatting. Jessie learned from her that she is younger than An Feng and has come out to work after graduating from high school. She has a boyfriend who works in a bar in the city. She goes out to get clothes in the morning. She also said she is very satisfied with her current job. After all, she has a low education level and is one-third higher than the salary of some immigrants. And An Feng also paid insurance for them.

I heard a lot from Jessie, a native American. For example, the United States is not as good as it imagines. The wages of immigrants are generally very low. Especially in California, giving Asian workers a salary of more than 2,000 US dollars can make them work without complaints. This is still the level of legal immigration. If you are a ill-worker, you can give them an hourly salary of $5 - although the California government requires an hourly salary of at least $10.

An Feng opened his eyes, but in fact he had little to do with him. His account had nearly 10 million US dollars, and there were diamonds worth over 100 million yuan in the bank safe. He came to the United States and became an old man. The life of a sharp head that desperately squeezed into the United States and endured racial discrimination did not belong to him.

Jessie sent him to Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, which has the title of the most noble residential area in the world, and the highest-end commercial streets, with rich people, celebrities and big names everywhere. It is most suitable for An Feng, a big head who has money in his pocket, who has no place to spend. He got out of the car and waved goodbye to Jessie and began to stroll along the street.

Long before departure, he recorded the addresses and phone numbers of the relevant dealers on edmunds (American Automobile Website). The first stop was the Ferrari and Maserati Sales Center in Beverly Hills. He had called the paid secretary provided by Express Bank in advance and made an appointment for him.

Most of the sales of high-end cars like this are made in advance. Of course, it is not ruled out that some rich people will come in on a whim and buy these expensive cars without blinking. An Feng went in and reported his name and was immediately warmly welcomed by a female salesperson.

"Mr. An, we have all kinds of models of Ferrari and Maserati here." The blonde salesman led An Feng to visit the exhibition hall.

"I want a convertible." An Feng said. Without introducing, he looked at the 458 convertible version and California model in the exhibition hall. He originally wanted to buy a 458, but he just encountered two cars on the road. One was parked at the door of the store, and it was almost a street car, which dispelled his enthusiasm.

In the end, only California is left, which is called "California" in Chinese. An Feng circled around it, sat on it to feel it myself, and then said in a positive tone: "I want to test drive."

It is said that the best way to improve a person's temperament is to give him one million. In the past, when he had only a few thousand yuan in his pocket, unless he was a movie star, he could not be as calm as An Feng and said this without any hesitation. After hearing this, the salesperson heard it, he had no hesitation at all.

After walking around the city with open ceilings for two laps, the female salesperson talked endlessly about performance, the 4.3-liter V8 engine with a displacement of 490 horsepower makes it accelerated by only 3.8 seconds per 100 kilometers, and the maximum speed reaches more than 310 kilometers... An Feng doesn't understand English very well, but he has known about the configuration.

Finally, he turned back and An Feng said, "OK, I need to see the car, it's red."

Sales are smiling.

An Feng once again experienced the dire capitalist life. California bought nearly four million yuan in naked cars in China. But now it costs 200,000 yuan, and the full amount is less than 250,000 yuan. The full amount is converted to more than 1.5 million yuan.

Not only did he receive the warm hospitality like God, he also saved more than 2 million yuan. The 1.5 million yuan he bought in China, he probably could only buy a BMW 7 Series, and he might also enjoy unconscious blacklist treatment... An Feng took the shiny key and started the red horse, blew the accelerator and went shopping.

Luxury goods stores in Beverly Hills can be seen everywhere. He parked his car at the entrance of GUCCI, bought a pair of sunglasses, put them on his nose, and when he walked to his sports car, a passing blonde girl praised "Nicecar". An Feng sat in the car casually and left with a smile.

After walking around Beverly Hills, I bought a suit and a pair of leather shoes for myself, and then found a platinum mechanical watch from Vacheron Constantin. After walking out of the mall, I changed my temperament suddenly changed. The only thing I had to say was that it was a little hot.

On the way back, An Feng suddenly stopped, took out his cell phone, and called the bank secretary's number: "Hey, Lei, can you help me get the invitation to the McLaren P1?"

"Please wait a few minutes, Mr. An." The phone secretary said politely.

An Feng hung up the phone, turned his head to look at a rare "McLaren" dealer on the roadside, and translated it as "McLaren". Nowadays, the three flagship supercars that car fans talk about are: Porsche 918, Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. They are all famous families, collectively known as the Three Divine Beasts.

But it is not easy to buy them. Take LaFerrari for example. There are two roads, including FXX or 599XX models, but these two cars are also extremely rare. The second road is to have at least 5 Ferraris, and wait patiently for the invitation letter before you can buy this flagship car.

An Feng also had a try-out mentality to see how capable the so-called customization service is. Five minutes later, Lei called: "Mr. An, we can get the black model from another customer who gave up on this car, but you must pay the money in one lump sum."

"No problem." An Feng suppressed his excitement and said calmly.

An Feng was invited in this time. There was no way. He drove a Ferrari to stop at the door of someone else's house and was making a phone call arrogantly. Can he not attract attention?

There are only MP4-12C and 650S in the exhibition hall, and there is no P1, because it needs to be customized by hand and is available for sale worldwide in limited quantities. If Anfeng wants to buy it, it not only means paying 1.2 million US dollars, but also need to wait at least half a year, and it takes a year to drive the car home.

But he still signed the check readily because P1 sold for more than 12 million yuan in China, and buying it in US dollars only costs half of the price. I'm sorry for not taking such a big advantage.
