"A Land Rover?"
Hearing Qin Chuan's question, Huang Qi and Yang Conglong both looked surprised.
Yang Conglong, in particular, couldn't help but ask, "Qin Chuan, don't you know much about cars? How do you know about Land Rover?"
In this era, cars like Land Rover, Ferrari, and Porsche had not yet been introduced into China. Therefore, unless one was a car enthusiast or a professional car dealer, ordinary people hadn't even heard the name.
For Qin Chuan to blurt out the name and specifically ask for a Land Rover was naturally astonishing.
"I usually like to read some foreign news and gossip, and keep up with international affairs, so I know about this Land Rover!"
Qin Chuan explained with a smile, "Once, I saw a report about a Land Rover and was instantly captivated by its wild and unrestrained lines, so I was curious to ask."
He couldn't tell them that he knew about Land Rovers from the future, revered as the king of 'SUVs', excelling in both performance and comfort.
In his previous life, Qin Chuan was fond of Land Rovers, and it was no different in this one.
"Mr. Qin, this car isn't cheap. It'll cost at least two hundred thousand to get it on the road. Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Huang Qi's eyes were sharp, and he seemed capable of actually procuring one.
"That expensive?"
Qin Chuan was startled. He thought it would cost at most a hundred thousand, and he would buy it with a firm decision, as he had earned a lot this time and wanted to treat himself.
He didn't expect it to cost two hundred thousand yuan. My apologies, for being so rude and disturbing you!
Qin Chuan remembered that in this era, sedans and many electronic products were indeed exorbitantly expensive, far from the future. This was a downside of this era.
Unlike in the future, where a hundred thousand yuan could buy a luxury car with both performance and good looks, and seven to eight thousand yuan could buy excellent electronic products.
"Holy cow, really? Is this Land Rover more expensive than my Ferrari?"
Yang Conglong was also shocked by the price, his eyes wide open.
"Yes, it's very expensive!"
Huang Qi nodded. "I know about this Land Rover; it's from the United Kingdom. The second generation came out this year, hailed as the king of SUVs and the lifelong dream of many SUV enthusiasts!"
"Domestically, many wealthy people are also fond of that model!"
Hearing this, Yang Conglong's eyes darted around, contemplating something.
"Since Land Rovers are so expensive, I won't insist on an SUV. I'll just buy a Mercedes-Benz."
At this moment, Qin Chuan spoke, then pointed his arm, "Boss Huang, how much is that new 'Tiger Head Benz' S600?"
At the spot he indicated, a luxurious, jet-black Benz was parked, its lines extremely fluid and imposing. In terms of size and length, it surpassed other Mercedes-Benz models, standing out from the crowd.
It was the renowned 'Tiger Head Benz'!
The name 'Tiger Head Benz' was very famous in China and even worldwide, not just for its imposing and fluid exterior but also for its performance.
It was precisely because of this 'Tiger Head Benz' that Mercedes-Benz's reputation soared to another level, becoming exclusive to the wealthy.
With continuous technological improvements, the current 'Tiger Head Benz' was undoubtedly a top-tier luxury car.
"That depends on the configuration you want..."
Huang Qi said with a smile.
"Of course, the top-of-the-line!"
"For the top configuration, and considering it's on my friend Conglong's account, I won't play games. With the license plate, decoration, interior, insurance, and other miscellaneous expenses, it'll be one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. How about that?"
Huang Qi stated.
Qin Chuan's brow twitched almost imperceptibly. This price also exceeded his budget, as it was truly expensive.
Just as he was about to politely decline and choose another model, Yang Conglong suddenly interjected, "One hundred and fifty thousand yuan is a very fair price. Let's go with this one!"
"Huang Qi, put it on my bill!"
Almost as soon as Yang Conglong finished speaking, Huang Qi and Qin Chuan looked up simultaneously. Qin Chuan frowned, while Huang Qi couldn't hide his surprise, his eyes darting between Qin Chuan and Yang Conglong.
The price of a 'Tiger Head Benz' was a staggering one and a half million yuan, which was not a small sum. Yang Conglong was willing to gift it to someone just like that. Who exactly was this young man named Qin Chuan?
For a moment, Huang Qi became immensely curious about Qin Chuan's identity. Could it be that the Yang family had befriended another powerful figure from some city?
"Brother Long, what are you doing? Didn't we agree..."
Yang Conglong raised his hand to stop Qin Chuan's words. "Qin Chuan, if you still recognize me as your brother, then don't say anything else!"
"I, Yang Conglong, am not a good person, but I know the principle of repaying kindness with a fountain of gratitude! You must take this 'Tiger Head Benz'; otherwise, you're looking down on me as your brother."
Just as Qin Chuan was about to say something more, Huang Qi suddenly made a gesture to Yang Conglong.
"Mr. Qin, I apologize. I need to speak with Conglong for a moment."
"Please sit and have some tea; we'll be right back!"
He then showed a slightly apologetic expression and left with Yang Conglong.
Qin Chuan was left alone, sitting on the sofa with a helpless expression...
In a secluded corner of the 4S shop, Huang Qi pulled Yang Conglong aside and stopped. "What's the background of this Qin Chuan?"
"Him? He's a very interesting fellow!"
Yang Conglong glanced back at Qin Chuan's retreating figure and said with a smile.
"Don't give me that nonsense. What's our relationship? Are you still keeping secrets from me?"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Huang Qi urged.
Yang Conglong pondered for a moment and said, "It's not what you think. This Qin Chuan comes from a very ordinary background; he's from a small county!"
"However, he's a rare genius!"
"What do you mean?"
Huang Qi became even more confused.
"Brother Huang, let me ask you, if you had no background from your father, no resource advantages, and were just an ordinary person with only a few dozen yuan, how long do you think it would take you to earn a million yuan?"
Yang Conglong posed a question.
Huang Qi frowned, not even bothering to care that Yang Conglong used his most disliked nickname.
"That's... hard to say. Without opportunities, I might not be able to earn a million yuan even in several years!"
Yang Conglong was very satisfied with this answer. "Then let me ask you again, you also trade in stocks and futures. Have you made money from them?"
Mentioning this, Huang Qi showed an embarrassed expression. "Yang, are you deliberately pointing out my shortcomings? Believe it or not, I'll give you a good punch!"
"Hahaha!!!"
Seeing his close friend's embarrassed and angry expression, Yang Conglong let out a gloating burst of laughter.
His laughter drew the attention of Qin Chuan in the lounge, so he quickly suppressed it.
"If I told you that Qin Chuan, starting with just a few dozen yuan, has amassed total assets of seven to eight million in just half a year, would you believe me?"
Yang Conglong said to Huang Qi with a smile.
Huang Qi's eyes widened. Before he could process this, he heard Yang Conglong continue, "Brother Huang, remember I borrowed three million yuan from you half a month ago, right?"
"Nonsense, of course, I remember! How could I forget?"
Huang Qi rolled his eyes.
"If I further tell you that I used the money I borrowed from you to trade futures, and in this short half-month period, using nine million yuan as capital, I made a profit of thirty million, would you believe me?!"
Huang Qi was completely thunderstruck, his face filled with disbelief...
