Chapter 964
Excellent Eye for Insight
When Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu drove into the 4S store, Shen Ruoyao saw that they were driving an ordinary Volkswagen car worth just over 100,000 yuan. Their budget for buying a car here would not exceed 300,000 yuan at most. In a luxury car brand store like this, there are not many choices for cars under 300,000 yuan, with a maximum of no more than five models.
Shen Ruoyao subconsciously felt that Xu Bo'an and Bai Susu didn't need to know too much about buying a car, so when the store manager asked her this question, Shen Ruoyao answered directly.
Shen Ruoyao's thinking was correct. Xu Bo'an had indeed decided on the car he wanted to buy, but it wasn't one priced under 300,000 yuan that she had in mind.
Although Xu Bo'an had already made his choice in his mind, it wouldn't hurt to listen to other people's introductions of the cars; who knows, there might be even better options.
So Xu Bo'an said to the store manager, "Then I'll trouble you to introduce some options so we can have more choices!"
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Shen Ruoyao couldn't help but subconsciously look at him, thinking to herself that this person's strength was not much, but his tone was quite arrogant.
When Xu Bo'an was silent, Shen Ruoyao thought that although he was poor, at least he wasn't arrogant. But now that she heard Xu Bo'an say this, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Oh, I wonder what kind of car you're looking for?"
Xu Bo'an had already sensed the strong disdain in Shen Ruoyao's words, but he didn't expose her. After all, she was Bai Susu's high school classmate whom she hadn't seen for many years. If he directly exposed her, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Bai Susu?
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said to Shen Ruoyao, "Men all like cars. I want to learn more about them before making a decision!"
Shen Ruoyao said, "So you're saying you didn't just come here to look around, but are planning to buy one? Do you have a particular model in mind? Tell us so we can give you some ideas!"
Xu Bo'an casually said, "Not yet. We can make a decision after we've introduced the store manager to everyone!"
Shen Ruoyao thought Xu Bo'an would say something like, "Our funds are limited, and we don't have many types of cars to choose from." She didn't expect Xu Bo'an to say something so ambiguous, which made Shen Ruoyao feel a little confused about him.
However, no matter how much she couldn't figure Xu Bo'an out, Shen Ruoyao was certain of one thing: Bai Susu's friend was definitely not as rich as her husband. After all, her husband was in the jewelry business. Although the business wasn't very big, he was getting on in years, and his wealth had accumulated to at least several hundred million over time.
On the other hand, Xu Bo'an is at most the same age as her and Bai Susu. Have you ever seen a young person whose wealth and ability can compare to that of an elderly person who runs a jewelry business? That's almost impossible!
In addition, Xu Bo'an and his group were driving a car worth just over 100,000 yuan. Generally speaking, young people are quite vain, and any young person with a little bit of ability would drive such a cheap car.
Therefore, after some thought, Shen Ruoyao is now convinced that Xu Bo'an is just an ordinary young man who likes to show off! Otherwise, why would an ordinary person buy such a high-end brand car?
Thinking of this, Shen Ruoyao couldn't help but smile, and then said to the store manager, "Alright, you can start introducing cars to us now, but just introduce models priced between one million and two million, preferably SUVs!" Xu Bo'an heard that the price and model of the car Shen Ruoyao wanted to buy were not much different from the car he wanted to buy, so he didn't say anything and prepared to listen to the store manager's explanation.
After hearing Shen Ruoyao's request, the store manager began searching for off-road vehicles priced between one and two million on the electronic screen in the tea tasting area. Once the search was complete, he began introducing each vehicle to them.
There is a wide selection of luxury cars in the range of one to two million. After searching, dozens of models came up. Shen Ruoyao selected a dozen or so nice-looking cars and asked the store manager to help her with the selection.
The cars Shen Ruoyao selected happened to include the same models that Xu Bo'an had chosen. Xu Bo'an also listened carefully to the store manager's introduction and felt that the Land Rover he had previously decided on was more suitable for him!
After the store manager finished his introduction, Shen Ruoyao's anger had long since subsided. Then, under the store manager's guidance, the group went to the store to check out the cars in person. After Xu Bo'an and Shen Ruoyao looked at several cars, Xu Bo'an still felt that the Land Rover was the best choice for him.
So Xu Bo'an, who always disliked procrastination and was decisive in his work, pointed to a Land Rover Sport next to him and said to the store manager, "I want this one!"
When the store manager heard that Xu Bo'an had chosen his favorite car in such a short time and decided to buy it, and most importantly, that it was a car worth over a million yuan, the store manager was very happy. After all, he could get a considerable commission from a car worth over a million yuan.
This was quite unexpected for him. After all, although Xu Bo'an was quite handsome, his clothes didn't suggest he was poor, but he certainly wasn't rich either. So he was extremely excited about this unexpected surprise.
However, for high-end brand stores like these, the store managers are selected from among many sales staff through multiple rounds of screening, which is fundamentally different from ordinary sales staff.
Although he was very happy to receive such an unexpected surprise, he kept his facial expression under control, showing no sign of surprise or delight. He treated everyone who came to the store, whether they intended to buy or not, with the principle that "the customer is God," and he treated them all with great hospitality. To outsiders, he seemed to treat all customers fairly.
In reality, all people are the same, especially salespeople who are driven by the principle that the more vehicles they sell, the more they earn. Which salesperson would complain about selling too many products?
The store manager is no exception. The higher the sales volume in the store, the higher the commission he earns. He might even be selected as an outstanding store manager, and the bonus would be even more substantial.
Although the store manager was very happy, he did not show it as exaggeratedly as a typical salesperson. He still gave Xu Bo'an a professional smile, but the smile looked more sincere.
He smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "Sir, you have excellent taste in cars!" (End of Chapter)
