Ignoring Zong Wen's shocked expression, Zhang Yifan walked straight to the saleswoman in black stockings.

The young lady was already standing next to the Defender display vehicle, waiting. When she saw Zhang Yifan walk over, she turned slightly to the side and raised her hand to indicate the display vehicle, her movements professional and smooth.

"Sir, what do you know about the guards?"

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Zhang Yifan, Zong Wen gritted his teeth and followed behind him.

He thought to himself, "Fine, if I can't stop him, I'll just go with him. I hope Brother Fan will regain his senses after seeing the price."

Two million seems like a lot, but Land Rover is no pushover. He just glanced at the price tag next to the Defender on display at the entrance, and even the lowest trim level costs close to 700,000.

Brother Fan only has two million; he can't possibly spend half of it on cars.

Then he heard Zhang Yifan speak.

Which is the most expensive configuration of the Defender?

Zong Wen's lips twitched.

Dude, can you at least look at the price list before asking which configuration you want?

Asking about the most expensive item right off the bat? Are you here to buy a car or a cabbage?

The young lady in black stockings didn't even look at the information before rattling off the details: "The most expensive configuration of the Defender is the 2026 110 4.4T V8 OCTA Black version, with a base price of 215.8 million yuan and a minimum on-road price of 255 million yuan."

This car is the flagship model of the Defender series, equipped with a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a maximum power of 635 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just over four seconds.

The car features a full blackout package, OCTA logo, and interior trim made of top-grade semi-aniline leather and carbon fiber panels.

For this particular model, the domestic allocation is currently very limited.

When Zongwen heard the number "255 million", his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down.

The base price of the car is 215.8 million, and Fan Ge only has 2 million, leaving him short of 150,000.

Not to mention the subsequent insurance, purchase tax, and registration fees.

Even if Fan wanted to show off, he couldn't possibly pull out a bank card on the spot and say "swipe card," could he?

Moreover, based on his understanding of Zhang Yifan, Brother Fan definitely cares about his reputation.

I've already asked about the most expensive one, how could I possibly settle for something else at a different price point?

Men care about their reputation; face is more important than life itself.

After asking about the most expensive item and realizing he couldn't afford it, he would find an excuse to back out. He had already mentally completed this whole process for Zhang Yifan.

Do you have any cars in stock?

Zong Wen suddenly turned his head, his mouth agape wide enough to fit a tea egg.

Dude, you're asking about the most expensive one, fine, but you're asking if there are any cars in stock?

You only have two million, and this car costs 255 million after purchase. What do you mean by asking if it's a car that's readily available?

You're not just showing off anymore, you're risking your life to show off!

He reached out and tugged at Zhang Yifan's sleeve, his voice low as he squeezed out, "Brother Fan, stop messing around."

But Zhang Yifan completely ignored him, still staring at the girl in black stockings with a serious expression, not like he was joking.

The young woman in black stockings maintained her professional smile, but at that moment, her mindset finally became clear.

She wasn't sure if Zhang Yifan really wanted to buy a car, since the young man looked too young and his clothes didn't seem like someone who could afford a car, but his tone and eyes didn't seem like he was just there to take a look.

Now that she heard the words "Do you have any cars in stock?", her professional judgment finally came to a conclusion: this handsome young man wasn't here to buy a car; he was just a show-off!

These top-of-the-line models usually require optional extras, and the final price far exceeds the base price. 4S stores wouldn't tie up millions of dollars to stock up on a flagship model that only sells a few units a year.

She had served several similar clients before.

Ask about the most expensive one, ask if there are any cars in stock, then frown when you hear there aren't any, say "Never mind, I won't buy it," turn around and leave, the pretentious process is smooth and seamless.

But these kinds of clients are always accompanied by a woman! What's this handsome young man doing bringing this guy along to show off?

Could they be...?

She was starting to regret hosting them.

But her professionalism kept her smiling, and she maintained a slight distance as she patiently explained:

"Sir, this car is not currently in stock."

This car is too expensive, so the dealership doesn't dare to keep it in stock.

Moreover, the 255 million mentioned earlier is just the lowest price. Customers usually opt for optional extras on this car, and the final price of the OCTA Black after the options are added usually exceeds 280 million.

Features like carbon fiber body kit, panoramic sunroof, rear differential lock, 22-inch forged wheels...

These all require separate selection.

After hearing this, Zongwen was completely relieved.

280 million, now even if Fan Ge tries something, he can't buy it.

Fan Ge only has two million yuan, which is several hundred thousand yuan short. Even if he took out all his family's savings, it wouldn't be enough.

He can finally relax; his adventure at the 4S store will soon come to a safe conclusion.

And to be honest, this lady in black stockings had a really good attitude.

He silently compared her to the brainless salespeople in the short dramas he had watched before.

They were very polite from beginning to end, bowing when they entered, offering bottled water, and answering all their questions patiently, even though they knew Fan was showing off.

If he were selling a car and encountered such a pretentious person, he would have kicked him out long ago.

His liking for the saleswoman increased by several percentage points.

After hearing the explanation, Zhang Yifan suddenly understood.

He had previously watched short dramas where rich kids would go to a 4S store to buy a car, simply push open the revolving door, walk in, point to the car and say "I want this one," swipe their card, and drive away—the whole process taking no more than ten minutes.

He thought buying a car in real life was like that too.

Come in, choose a car you like, pay, pick it up, and go home.

As expected, I suffered from my lack of experience; short dramas can be very harmful!

But he did like the guards.

From the first time he saw a Defender off-road video on a short video platform, he thought the car was really cool.

With its boxy body and rugged lines, it can run on highways and in the wild, and the trunk can fit a whole set of camping equipment.

He has a Defender parked in the garage of his villa in Yujingyuan. He would take Shen Zhiyi for a drive in the suburbs on weekends. Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

"If I choose a different configuration, how long will it take to pick up the car?"

Although the young woman in black stockings was already certain that this handsome young man was just showing off, she still maintained a professional demeanor and answered with a smile:

"This configuration requires production in the UK factory plus sea freight, with a typical cycle of three to six months."

If you're not in a hurry, I can help you calculate the optional configuration list. You can decide which configurations you want to add first.

Of course, if you're in a hurry, I can help you check if there are any cars with the options already selected in stock in China.

Zongwen listened with increasing reassurance.

By three to six months, Fan Ge will have already started his studies at Tsinghua University, so he won't have time to come and pick up the car.

He was about to pull Zhang Yifan to thank the young lady and then quickly leave when Zhang Yifan spoke again:

"Then could you check if there are any cars available in China with all the options already set up? I don't want to wait that long."

Zong Wen's hand, which was tugging at the hem of his clothes, froze in mid-air.

The young woman in black stockings was slightly taken aback, but she quickly regained her professional smile, nodded and said okay, then turned and walked towards the office area.

Zong Wen looked at her back, then at Zhang Yifan's still serious face without any trace of pretentiousness, and had only one thought in his mind: Dude, are you serious?
