Ye Yun had no intention of dealing with Da Xian initially. Given his current busy schedule, chasing after a mere hundred thousand was counterproductive. He could generate far greater profits in the same amount of time.
However, when Li Mengyao was involved, he had no choice but to step in.
In fact, Ye Yun was quite knowledgeable about cars himself. According to his calculations, he planned to buy a good car later and register it under the company's name. This would serve as transportation for Li Mengyao and could also be considered regular business use for the company. Furthermore, by registering it under the company, the car's cost could be factored into expenses, offsetting the 13% value-added tax. This would result in considerable savings.
If Li Mengyao hadn't stopped him, he would have definitely purchased a Panamera. It wasn't about flaunting wealth or showing off. It was because Li Mengyao, as the legal representative of Yao Ke Group, would have her every move represent the company's image, whether she was meeting clients or going about her daily business. In China, the car you drive can significantly impact the impression you leave on others. Driving a Lingling to discuss business deals worth millions, or even tens of millions, would inherently suggest a lack of strength, potentially leading to a refusal to sign a contract.
However, a car worth millions would be a different story. Ultimately, it all came down to perception and image.
Yet, in her newfound wealth, Li Mengyao's consumer habits hadn't shifted. She adamantly stated her preference for the Lingling. Ye Yun didn't object to this. After all, once Yao Ke Group was formally established, it wouldn't be difficult to adjust his wife's spending habits. Besides, they wouldn't be limited to just two cars for family use in the future. They would each have a car for daily commutes, and Ye Yun also planned to buy a seven-seater minivan for family outings. The Lingling was fine; as Li Mengyao said, it was good for practice.
He hadn't expected his wife to consider a used car to save money, which had led to a minor inconvenience. Since the situation had already occurred, he decided to resolve it. The trap was set, and this Da Xian was simply walking into his own demise. As for Lin Shiyou and Song Yunfan, Ye Yun had dragged them along as reinforcements. Moreover, both of them were harboring resentment, so going together would be a way for them to vent their frustrations.
At nine in the morning, the three of them arrived at Da Xian's Luxury Car Dealership. The store still bore the scars of the damage caused by Lin Shiyou. A man, not quite 1.75 meters tall and of short stature, was live-streaming and lamenting his misfortune.
"My dear family, with your support, I will rise again. Please help me by following and supporting Da Xian."
"Thank you, Big Brother (Da Xian, hold on, we support you), for the huge rocket!"
"My followers have grown from five million to nine million. To show my appreciation to my family, I, Da Xian, am giving away a 2014 Audi R8 to my fans."
"As everyone knows, I, Da Xian, never sell crashed or flooded cars. Chinese people never lie to Chinese people. You can trust the condition of this R8!"
"Friends who know cars can check the market price; this car is currently valued at around 700,000 yuan. I, Da Xian, am offering it to my family for 540,000 yuan!"
"Many friends say I'm putting on a show. The person who has paid the deposit is about to arrive at the store. I'll show everyone live whether this is a show or not!"
Ye Yun immediately recognized the man speaking as the famous internet celebrity of Jinling, Da Xian.
At that moment, Da Xian continued.
"My dear family, the brother who paid the deposit has arrived. Let's pan the camera over and see who this lucky friend is... Hmm? It's you, what are you doing here!"
Upon seeing Ye Yun and the other two, Da Xian's expression instantly changed. Having seen the video, how could he not recognize these three as the culprits who trashed his store? No, he shouldn't say culprits. To be precise, they should be considered benefactors. After all, he had gained immense popularity from this incident, his follower count nearly doubling. By playing the victim, he had already recouped his losses many times over.
Da Xian was currently enjoying high popularity, with over seventy thousand viewers in his live stream. The reason for such high viewership was the fallout from the incident involving the rich second-generation heir trashing the store. After all, the term "rich second-generation heir" itself implied reckless behavior and disregard for the law. These viewers had also seen the surveillance footage and knew that the three individuals on camera were the perpetrators. Immediately, the netizens became indignant, and the comment section was filled with curses.
"This t—"
Exposing the disguised mask? What did that mean?
Soon, Ye Yun took out his phone and waved it in front of the live stream, saying, "I've already transferred the 540,000 yuan deposit for the R8. Here is the record of the 200,000 yuan transfer."
