The Hero

Chapter 242 Can Only Think of It

Javier wanted to buy a car, but it was probably one of the worst days to do so.

It was only the fifth day of the new year and many places were still closed.

After realizing the place had no car, he took Ciel to the state capital as a sort of road trip while going there to buy a car.

They had fun in the state capital for three days, until all the shops finally opened on the eighth day of the new year.

Ciel shone after being refilled for three days, and Javier visited almost all of the sales outlets that were open.

Ever since he convinced Ciel to accept his prize, he ended up choosing the Mercedes-Benz GLK300.

The car is not big. It is 4.5 meters long, so it is almost a compact SUV. It was smaller than a domestic SUV, which was 4.67 meters long, but that size was a good fit for Ciel.

Javier thought that it was the perfect car for him given his petite stature.

The temperament fits perfectly with that car.

Javier managed to buy a car for Ciel but unfortunately did not buy it for himself.

He thought it would be better to get something as long as it was a means of transportation, but he then remembered what Chad said about him needing to pay attention to his image as he embodied the name and reputation of the company.

That's why finding a car is so hard. He would be seen as showing off if he bought something too expensive, whereas a car that appealed to him was too flamboyant. In short, none of them are ideal.

Only after being in Bentley's showroom did Javier finally find a car that suited him. The Bentley L5 looks like a Rolls Royce at first glance, but it has an almost classic medieval Chinese classic car look.

It was the perfect vehicle to display his identity without appearing too conspicuous. More importantly, he will support the domestic market.

However, buying a vehicle is not easy. The price of 300,000 to 500,000 does not matter, but there are many additional conditions.

The salesman told him about the vehicle. “Pak, this L5 combines high-end luxury with outstanding character. If you want to buy it, you are required to pay a down payment of 150,000 dollars. There is also a half-year wait before you get a custom-made.” vehicle

Waiting for half a year is normal. This car is made specifically. Many luxury cars follow the same procedure: payment first, then waiting period, and lastly delivery of the car.

However, there are too many rules to buying that car that the salesperson continues to explain.

“The first step is to log in to the official website to register your information, phone number and email address. I'll help you with that now if you want. Within two days, one of our professionals will contact you to review your Personal Information and the model you purchased.

“Part of this review is rather strict and includes your basic personal information, social status, financial strength, political stance, and anything else to note in your background.”

What he meant by 'anything worth paying attention to' was any negative information, such as criminal records or debt defaults.

Even the slightest mistake will make it impossible to buy a car regardless of how much money a person has.

Money may not be enough to buy that car, but on the other hand, it is more than enough to eliminate uninteresting records…

“If you pass the review, you will be able to proceed to the next step in about ten days or so, which is the 150,000 deposit I mentioned earlier.

“Then, you will be invited to participate in the car customization section. If you have any special requirements, each vehicle's functions and configuration will be tailored to your request. It may be a bit complicated, but your car will be considered the only one.

As soon as the saleswoman finished speaking, Ciel whispered beside her, "Why bother just to buy a car?"

The seller smiled politely. “Again, this is the only one. And it's a car that has a history, too, so. I hope you understand."

The phrase 'I hope you understand' is practically the foundation on which Bentley was built.

Those who do not understand better not to buy the vehicle. There are many other models that can be purchased if one is rich.

Anyone who wants to buy an L5 should understand even if they don't want to!

It was incredible, and Javier enjoyed the intimidating power he had. He wouldn't like it if it was mass-produced!

“Register me then!”

Javier's words surprised the salesman.

He initially thought that he was not that serious, but he still explained everything with professional manners, and also because it was a new year.

It hardly occurred to him that Javier would decide to buy the car and make a decision that quickly.

After his initial shock, his excitement subsided, as the first part was just registration.

If he wanted to earn a sales commission, he would have to wait at least until the other party paid a deposit of 150,000 dollars.

He continued politely, not expecting much as he led Javier aside and helped him enter the information for registration.

After all, Javier again saw the H5 and H7 in the showroom. He has heard that HSS will also be launched and that Bentley is doing fine lately, as their car is selling well. That is largely due to the large investment in research and development.

After all, the engine is self-made, as well as the model of the car. Although the development is not as fast as other domestic car companies, it remains a national car whose development should be proud of.

The Chinese also hope the Bentley flag will one day flutter high in every corner of the world. Javier is happy to buy it, because he has the means to provide a little support.

After registering, Javier and Ciel were about to leave when the salesman escorted them out of the store with professional manners.

Once out of the store, Javier receives a call from an unknown number that turns out to be Bentley's headquarters.

He guessed that the call came so quickly because he was the first customer in the new year.

During the phone call, the other party inquired about Javier's position, social status, and other pertinent information.

Javier replied, “I'm chairman of Reivaj Group, Reivaj Media, Medb-X Media....Total company assets on my behalf? I'm not sure, but at least 1.5 million dollars, I guess…"

The salesman was stunned to hear Javier's words.

He wondered if Javier was just bragging.
