Chen Xiao glanced at him, stood up, and naturally didn't explain anything to him.

After Bai Lu paid the bill, the two walked along, and Chen Xiao complained, "People are treating me like a gigolo."

Gently brushing a stray hair behind her ear, Bai Lu smiled tenderly: "You're only a kept man because of your own abilities. You're just a kept man. From now on, if you're with me, I'll let you be a kept man."

Chen Xiao smiled and suddenly felt a soft little hand reach out to him. He gently took it, and Bai Lu walked happily, waving her arms as she went, as happy as a little girl in her prime.

Looking at Bai Lu, Chen Xiao recalled the first time he met her—the arrogant young lady who almost hit him with her car, radiating a touch of excessive sympathy. Back then, he hadn't seen this childlike side of her. However, he also wondered if he had only noticed her alluring figure at the time.

It seems that if a man wants to understand a woman fully, he must understand her deeply; otherwise, he will only scratch the surface.

"Want to go there for a stroll?"

Bai Lu tilted her head and thought for a moment, "The conversation between that couple was quite interesting. Let's go check out the Ruishi authorized user center store. Didn't they say it's selling like hotcakes? Let's go to the store and see how this success compares to the previous Junxing M7."

The more people place large orders, the more people should come to the store to test drive the cars in the next two days. This is because those customers will definitely come to the store to experience the car before they can decide whether to buy it. After all, it's a big purchase worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and most people won't place orders blindly.

Since Chen Xiao had nothing else to do, he accompanied her. "Today is the first day after the listing, there should be quite a few people."

In other words, if there aren't many people on the first day, then the Ruishi N7L will be wasted. Bai Lu reminded him to go to the site and see how the Ruishi launch was going.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom convoy pulled up on the side of the road next to the auto mall. This wasn't the auto mall they'd visited with Xu Wu; the Ruishi brand authorized dealership there hadn't opened yet. Chen Xiao couldn't understand Ruishi's logic for opening stores. They always chose relatively remote and cramped locations. Was a company as large as Huadi really that short of money for opening a store?

The directly operated stores are stingy; how can they expect anything from the distributors? And yet they still call themselves a luxury brand? What kind of luxury brand is one that's stingy in everything it does? Do the people at Ruishi think that setting high prices automatically makes it a luxury brand?
The two walked into the Ruishi brand store. There weren't as many people as they had imagined. It was nothing like the bustling scene when they had to book a test drive of the Junxing M7 two days in advance. However, there were definitely more people than usual. There were several groups of people looking at cars in the store, and the sales consultants were busy.

"Chen Xiao, have you noticed that their sales staff seem to have no enthusiasm at all? They're not even as good as Shanyun Motors, let alone Junxing Motors."

She nodded slightly, agreeing with her statement. "However, you can't say that. If it can match the service standards of FlashCloud Motors, then it's already quite good. Consumers still recognize FlashCloud Motors' luxury attributes. They do a great job in terms of service, quality control, and design. The only shortcoming is intelligence. After recently purchasing the complete solution from Junxing Intelligent R&D Center, sales have increased significantly."

Recently, Jin Wuxian has been sending himself a lot of messages, frequently expressing goodwill. It is likely that the increased sales after using Junxing Intelligent Solution have strengthened the Jin family's determination to cooperate with Junxing Intelligent Solution.

This is precisely why, when Junxing Intelligent R&D Center announced its 1000 billion yuan investment in the computing chip field, FlashCloud Auto became the only beneficiary besides Junxing Auto. Before visiting the Ruishi brand, I passed by FlashCloud Auto's 4S store and noticed that the customer traffic was significantly higher than at other FlashCloud Auto sales and service centers I've seen before. This is also evident from the weekly sales rankings.

For a period of time, FlashCloud Auto had fallen out of the top 10 list, but it made a comeback last week, jumping to 9th place, only 2 places behind Junxing Auto. However, FlashCloud Auto only has one model, the Junxing M7, on sale, making it more valuable.

"Gentlemen, are you looking at a car?"

After seeing off a group of customers, the sales consultant saw Chen Xiao and Bai Lu and came up to ask them something.

Chen Xiao pointed at Bai Lu and said, "Ask her. She's in charge of the money, she makes the decisions."

This follows the joke Bai Lu made to him on the way, where she told him to "use a soft approach and a hard one."

The salesperson gave him a strange look. This man didn't seem like the type to live off a woman. You really can't judge a book by its cover.

He then began to introduce the car to Bai Lu, mentioning that there were 5-seater and 6-seater versions, boasting about their spaciousness and luxurious interiors. Bai Lu opened the car door, glanced at it, and muttered, "This interior is so ugly."

The salesperson's face immediately darkened, and he said awkwardly, "To each their own, and many customers like this style."

"I like this style. What style is this? Is it like wearing a pretty dress on the outside and thermal underwear underneath?"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but laugh. Bai Lu really didn't hold back when she spoke. The interior of the Ruishi N7L was quite strange, with an indescribable style. He felt that Bai Lu's analogy vividly described the overall style of the Ruishi N7L, like a girl in a miniskirt wearing floral thermal underwear underneath.

The salesperson was taken aback by her analogy. Chen Xiao could even see the twitching on his face. If Bai Lu hadn't been such a beautiful woman, he probably would have retorted. Was she here to buy a car or to find fault?

"Let me check the smoothness of your car's infotainment system."

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she got into the car and swiped around on the infotainment system a few times. “Handsome guys, this must be a product of the last century. I looked at the cockpit interface of Flash Cloud Auto, and then I looked at yours. It feels like I’ve gone back to the early years of the Republic of China from modern society.”

Seeing the salesperson almost in tears, Chen Xiao realized this was deliberately targeting their weaknesses. She had skillfully avoided mentioning Junxing Motors, instead referring to Shanyun Motors. However, Shanyun Motors also uses the Junxing intelligent cockpit provided by Junxing Intelligent R&D Center.

How is your intelligent driving performance?

The salesperson appeared very confident, saying, "We belong to the top tier."

"What is the first tier? As long as the ladder is long enough, even the last person is on the ladder and can still be called the first tier."

Haha, Chen Xiao found that Bai Lu was really a joker. The sales staff were so annoyed by her that they didn't know how to explain. Then Bai Lu said, "You say your intelligent driving is good, but do you dare to drive in the city for half an hour without touching the steering wheel?"

The salesperson hesitated to respond, fearing Bai Lu would pressure him to try it out immediately. He could only change the subject, saying, "Miss, our car has three motors, which other brands don't have."

Bai Lu remembered what the girl had said during dinner: "Your three motors are just superfluous. Your car is several hundred kilograms heavier than other cars, which will waste fuel and wear out the tires. I don't see any advantages to it."

Is this person here to buy a car or to nitpick? Nobody mentioned this in the training script. If you're so great, why didn't you confront Li Huanghe when he was bragging about it at the launch event? The sales staff were incredibly frustrated.

"Our vehicles also have the high-tech feature of a compass for U-turns."

Bai Lu interrupted him directly, "Spinning around in place, doesn't that wear out the tires? Is that what you call technology? If you invented a car that can roll in place, how would you brag about it? Other cars don't even have this function."

"."

Chen Xiao chuckled. The salesperson turned to look at him, as if pleading for help. Hadn't he asked the wrong person for help?
"Sir, look, this is the new luxury of technology, and our clients are all tech elites."

Tech upstart? Bai Lu is also in the high-tech industry, definitely a tech upstart, this car has clearly chosen the wrong target.

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Then why don't tech upstarts look favorably upon your car?"

The salesperson wasn't as polite to him as they had to Bai Lu. They felt that these two weren't there to buy a car, but rather to challenge him. So they immediately retorted, "That just means that the kind of people you're talking about are neither tech-savvy nor nouveau riche."

"Oh—" Chen Xiao gave him a meaningful look. If this were Junxing Auto, he would have been fired for daring to talk back to a customer.

The thinking behind the R&D brand is quite interesting. They pull out something they think is really awesome and give it to you. If you don't agree with it, it means you're neither tech-savvy nor a modern entrepreneur. The key question is, what kind of user experience does that supposedly "technology" offer?

Does a brand like this even deserve to be a competitor to Junxing Motors? If it weren't for the fact that it belongs to Huadi Group, Chen Xiao wouldn't even bother to give them a second glance.

At this moment, Bai Lu got out of the car and said to Chen Xiao, "Do you like it? If you like it, we'll buy it."

Knowing she was playing hard to get, the salesperson looked at Chen Xiao with hopeful eyes. Chen Xiao pretended to ponder for a moment, then asked, "If you place an order for this car now, how long will it take to pick it up?"

The salesperson whispered, "It will definitely take two weeks at most for you to pick up the car."

Hmm? Chen Xiao was a little confused. They had placed a 5-unit order within 24 hours. Under normal circumstances, even if production capacity ramped up quickly, it would probably take 3 months to complete the delivery. Now they could pick up the cars in 2 weeks, which meant that their large order was inflated. It was indeed a large order that could be refunded in 7 days.

How many color options does your car come in?

What configuration does it have?

After asking questions for about 10 minutes, the salesperson thought that the customer must be interested since he was asking so many detailed questions. Chen Xiao stopped and looked at Bai Lu. The salesperson also looked at Chen Xiao with hopeful eyes. Then Chen Xiao said, "This car is too cheap. Let's not buy it."

"Damn it—why are you asking so many questions if you're not going to buy?" The salesperson was furious. "Sir, our top-of-the-line model this time is around 36 yuan, which isn't exactly cheap."

Bai Lu chuckled and said, "My husband has high standards. I tried to buy him a car, but he wouldn't take the cheap ones. It's driving me crazy. If you can persuade him to buy this car, it will save me some money. I'd be very grateful."

The salesman was completely bewildered. How could he persuade her? But he really wanted to close the deal. The beautiful woman's demeanor and clothes suggested she was wealthy, but this gigolo also had an extraordinary air about him. It was hard to believe he had risen to his position through women.

"Sir, I don't know what price range of car you need. We also have the higher-end R&F N9, which is a flagship SUV."

Chen Xiao asked, "Do you have 500 million?"

The salesperson was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. "What 500 million? Do you mean sales volume? Our Huadi's total annual sales volume is 500 million."

"I mean, is the car you recommended to me worth 500 million? If it's less than 500 million, then forget it, it's not worth my time to even mention it."

"Damn it, he's living off a woman in such a high-class way. He wouldn't even ask for anything less than 5 million." The salesperson shook his head, deciding to give up. "Look at him, asking for 5 million just like that. And look at myself, working myself to the bone for a measly 10,000 a month."

Jealousy made him find Chen Xiao's handsome face somewhat repulsive. Damn it, I wouldn't sell my car to someone like that, even if I had one.

At that moment, a commotion broke out outside, and many people looked out at the same time. A sharp minivan stopped at the door, and several people in work uniforms, who looked like leaders, rushed out of the store. As the automatic door of the minivan opened, a young man in his thirties, wearing glasses and exuding arrogance, got out of the car.

"Oh, Mr. Wang is here."

Bai Lu asked curiously, "Who is Mr. Wang?"

"Our big boss's son, who is also the head of the group's sales division, has been in Jiangzhou these past two days discussing investment and factory construction with local officials. I didn't expect him to come to the store for an inspection today."

"Chen Xiao, I think he acts more like a big shot than you."

The salesperson glanced at her, thinking to himself, "What kind of talk is that? Isn't it expected that she'd have a bigger air about her than this pretty boy? What's the point of comparing the two of them? You're comparing a chicken to a phoenix!"

He could tell that these two weren't there to buy a car, so he decided to look at other customers. He made a living selling cars, and he couldn't keep putting on this show with these two.

Just then, someone next to him said, "Brother, you're really awesome, I'm impressed."

Chen Xiao turned around and realized it was when they were eating duck blood vermicelli soup. The person who came later had asked Bai Lu to pay, and he had convinced her. It seems he was convinced of the 5 yuan that time, but this time he was convinced of the 500 million.

"I've never seen anyone so comfortable and at ease living off a woman, and the food you eat is so classy."

Such a beautiful woman, this gigolo is definitely worth every penny.

Chen Xiao smiled. "What, you're here to buy a car?"

The man nodded. "Yes, it's a big brand, and it's under Huadi Group, so it's trustworthy. I'm planning to buy one."

Upon hearing this, the salesperson thought, "This is a customer I've just snagged!" and immediately stepped forward with a smile to introduce the product: "Sir, you're right. We are a luxury brand under a large group, and the target group for the new tech elites is the Ruishi N7L we're launching this time."

The topic of tech elites came up again, and Chen Xiao noticed that this potential client seemed quite interested in the term. Curious, he asked, "Sir, what is your profession?"

The man was also asking the salesperson, "Are all the people buying this car tech elites?"

The salesperson nodded. "Of course, basically anyone from the tech industry who comes here is bound to be impressed by our technology. On the contrary, some people who don't know anything about cars will buy things like the Junxing M7."

Unexpectedly, the shop was openly criticizing its competitors, and the potential customer then answered Chen Xiao's question—"You ask me what I do? I sell lamb skewers right next to the duck blood vermicelli shop you eat at."

Tech upstart ≈ ​​lamb kebab vendor?

The salesperson was also taken aback, clearly feeling a bit embarrassed by the "tech upstart" label.

There are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert. If he had to emphasize that he was facing a tech upstart, Chen Xiao smiled and pointed at Bai Lu, saying, "This lady works in artificial intelligence."

After saying that, he walked away, leaving the salesperson looking at them and then at the lamb kebab vendor in front of him. Suddenly, he wondered if the company's sales pitch should be changed; the target audience for this car didn't seem to be tech elites.

When Chen Xiao and Bai Lu left, the young CEO Wang was going upstairs. He glanced down unintentionally and was immediately stunned. His companions followed his gaze and saw that the radiant Bai Lu was also looking in their direction.

Mr. Wang smiled and nodded in greeting, only to find that the beautiful woman seemed to treat him as if he were invisible, turning her head and walking away with a handsome man.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly. "I think I've heard that Jiangzhou is known for its beautiful women these past few days. It's true."

The store manager chimed in with a few words of agreement. Jiangzhou is indeed known for its beautiful women, but with Mr. Wang's status, what kind of beauties haven't he seen? The fact that he could still make such a remark suggests that, on the one hand, the girl he just met was indeed exceptionally outstanding, and on the other hand, it also indicates that Mr. Wang has a weakness for women.

Following Mr. Wang upstairs to the office area, we found that the Ruishi 4S store was small, and the office area was also cramped. Mr. Wang didn't complain, after all, it was his own business, and if he complained, he would have to pay.

Instead, he recited a passage from "The Humble Abode," telling the people in the store that building a brand relies on its inner qualities, and that they shouldn't be too concerned about superficial glamour. Huadi Auto Group focuses its efforts on things that are not visible to the public.

The people below are flattering you, but they don't understand. You don't put in the effort in the visible aspects, how can you say you'll put in the effort in the invisible ones? Do you think anyone will believe you? Besides, your car is so cheap, and you even manage to lower the price by tens of thousands every now and then. You say you're putting in the effort? How are you going to put in the effort? Would you sell the car at a loss?
These people are all seasoned veterans in the automotive industry. Little Wang couldn't fool them at all. He was just flattering this young master because of his high status.

Mr. Wang picked up his phone, glanced at it, and looked up to say, "A social media influencer is coming over in a bit. Could you go out and greet her for me?"

The fact that the store's general manager went to greet him was already a sign of respect. He was just a big online influencer who relied on sensationalism. He was polite on the surface, but he looked down on these kinds of people.

Outside the door, Jiang Tao was with Xu Guang and the man in front of him who looked like someone from "Xiao Rizi" country who had been thrown into a primeval forest for three years. This was "Abstract Live Talking About Cars".

Xu Guang owns a stake in Ruishi 4S store. He came to Jiangzhou for two reasons: first, to check on the soon-to-open new store; and second, because Mr. Wang, the general manager of Huadi Group, was also in Jiangzhou. Apparently, the local government wants Huadi to build a factory there with an annual production capacity of 50 vehicles. Mr. Wang is here to handle the initial negotiations, but he can't make the final decision.

However, Mr. Wang also oversees the public relations department of Huadi Automotive Group. The KOCs of "Abstract Live Car Talk" are connected with the department he manages. Of course, "Abstract Live Car Talk" will not miss the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with Mr. Wang.

Jiang Tao was brought along by Xu Guang at Xu Guang's suggestion to broaden his horizons. Logically, since Jiang Tao couldn't afford to invest anymore, Xu Guang could have easily excluded him. However, Xu Guang still brought him along for important matters, giving him many learning opportunities. Jiang Tao thought Xu Guang was a really good person, and his cousin had probably misunderstood him. He should try to persuade his cousin, after all, Xu Guang's family were very influential business figures in Hanjiang, and his cousin might need their help in the future. Having more friends meant more opportunities, especially such a powerful one.

Today I actually got to meet Mr. Wang, the son of that legendary figure, who is a very famous figure in the Chinese business world, a respected industrialist, and even Jiang Tao's idol.

The thought of meeting his son made Jiang Tao's emotions unsettled. He thought that Guang Ge had seen a lot in life and should learn from his composure. He turned his head and saw that Xu Guang was holding onto a table while standing, and his legs were trembling.

Oh, so he's excited too.
Xu Guang was naturally excited. He had never imagined that he would have the opportunity to boast, or rather, to have a conversation, with such an important person. All of this was thanks to "Abstract Live Car Talk." This internet celebrity had a lot of influence; being able to know the young master of the Huadi Group meant that doing business with him was a sure thing.

Standing next to "Abstract Live Car Talk," Xu Guang and he got along quite well. When they got excited, the two of them would shout excitedly. Jiang Tao sometimes couldn't understand why these were sounds that humans could make.

The 4S store's general manager came down to pick them up personally, which made Xu Guang and Jiang Tao feel quite honored. However, "Abstract Live Car Talk" was clearly a little disappointed. If General Manager Wang had come down, he would have had even more prestige. Isn't that exactly what a big influencer like him needs?

Mr. Wang, who was sitting in the main seat in the reception room, stood up and politely asked them to sit down.

"Abstract Live Car Talk" grabbed Mr. Wang's hand tightly until Mr. Wang pulled away several times before letting go. Then, he said familiarly, "Let me introduce you. This is Xu Guang. His family is also a big entrepreneur in Hanjiang. They used to be in real estate, but now they have switched to the new energy industry and run our Ruishi brand 4S store."

When told he was in the real estate industry, Mr. Wang gave a slight smirk, looking down on him. But when he heard that he was a distributor for the Ruishi brand, he became more polite and said, "Welcome to the Huadi family. Let's develop together and push the Huadi Group to the next peak."

"Definitely, definitely," Xu Guang stammered, too excited to speak properly while talking to such an important figure. However, he thought back to the stunningly beautiful woman he'd met that day in her Rolls-Royce Phantom, and realized that her aura was far more powerful than the man before him.

This was also psychological. He truly felt Xu Wu's powerful aura the moment she got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Like this young master Wang, he would have been just an ordinary person on the street, but because of his aura, he stood out from the crowd. (End of Chapter)
