After speaking, Zhang Jingshan looked ahead.
And froze.
"What? What a coincidence!"
Before Zhao Jiwei could process what Zhang Jingshan had just said, he instinctively asked, "What's going on?"
"That guy I was just talking about is right there in your Mercedes showroom!"
With that, Zhang Jingshan strode toward the Mercedes section.
However, before he could say a word, the sharp-eyed Yoyo immediately shouted, "Daddy, it's Uncle Zhang!"
Then she quickly looked up and smiled, "Hi, Uncle Zhang!"
"Hmm?"
The sudden change in atmosphere left Chen Yinuo stunned.
Right in front of her, wasn't this Zhang Jingshan, the CEO of Yunshan Network Company?
But how come Yoyo seemed so familiar with him?
"Haha, good girl, Yoyo!" Zhang Jingshan laughed and patted her head, smiling as Chen Yinuo stood there, bewildered.
Then he asked, "Brother Ye, are you planning to buy a G-Class?"
"Brother Ye?" Chen Yinuo became even more confused.
Unaware of her thoughts, Zhang Jingshan continued, "Brother Ye, if you've set your sights on this Mercedes G-Class, that's easy! Let me introduce you to a friend."
Just as he finished speaking, the staff in the Mercedes showroom started greeting the person behind Zhang Jingshan with utmost respect.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!"
Zhao Jiwei nodded gracefully and responded politely before extending his hand to Ye Chen.
"If Jingshan calls you Brother Ye, I'll follow suit. Brother Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
"Hello, Mr. Zhao!" Ye Chen shook his hand with a smile.
"Brother Ye," Zhang Jingshan said heartily, "let me introduce you—Zhao Jiwei, a good friend from university. This Mercedes showroom belongs to him. If there's any car you fancy, including this G-Class, he can give you a discount!"
Zhang Jingshan had been planning to gift Ye Chen a car, but Ye Chen had repeatedly declined. Still, he wanted to do something for Ye Chen. Today, he decided to visit the auto show to look around for him.
By chance, running into Ye Chen at the Mercedes showroom, he couldn't resist taking the initiative, even though he knew Ye Chen didn't care about such discounts.
After Zhang Jingshan finished speaking, Zhao Jiwei turned to a nearby manager. "What's the market price for this G-Class?"
"Mr. Zhao, the market price is 1.43 million yuan. Currently, all dealers nationwide are marking up prices, starting from an additional 200,000 yuan," the manager replied truthfully.
Zhao Jiwei nodded and then turned to Ye Chen with a smile.
"Brother Ye, since you're Jingshan's friend, you're also my friend. Forget about the markup. If you like this G-Class, the car price is 1.43 million yuan, and I'll give you a 20% discount—115 million yuan flat!"
If not for the statement about Zhang Weimin's influence, Zhao Jiwei might still have offered a discount but likely wouldn't have waived the markup.
After all, Zhang Weimin was a person of extraordinary stature.
Zhao Jiwei's move was not just about business; it was an investment in building a connection. A couple of million meant little to someone of his caliber.
The Mercedes staff were stunned. A 20% discount? No markup? This was a losing deal!
Ye Chen, too, was intrigued by Zhao Jiwei's attitude.
Before he could respond, Chen Yinuo, who was still grappling with her thoughts, quickly interjected with a polite smile. "Thank you, Mr. Zhao, but this car isn't suitable for us."
"One, it's rare for Mr. Zhao to be so generous, and two, this car's interior really is quite luxurious. Why not go for it? We'll need a car sooner or later anyway," Ye Chen said thoughtfully.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have accepted Zhao Jiwei's goodwill, as he didn't need the discount. However, he wanted to avoid an outright refusal from Yinuo.
"Not suitable? This is over a million yuan! I hope you spend money wisely. Even if we're to enjoy luxury, let's wait until we truly have the means!" Chen Yinuo said firmly.
Hearing this, Zhang Jingshan felt his teeth ache.
A G-Class, priced just over a million, was hardly extravagant for someone like Ye Chen, who had made 40 or 50 million in under a month.
"Yinuo, Brother Ye's success is only a matter of time. Besides, driving a G-Class carries a certain status. It'll help in securing partnerships and other business dealings," Zhang Jingshan added earnestly.
"Hmm? Yinuo?" She froze at being addressed so intimately.
Before she could respond, Ye Chen spoke again. "Yinuo, when we start our factory and meet potential partners, showing up in a 200,000-yuan car won't leave a great impression. A better car can smooth over many aspects of business."
Ye Chen knew she wasn't against the G-Class but was hesitant because of her practicality.
Hearing Zhang and Ye's reasoning, her resistance wavered.
"Well, since you're so insistent... let's buy it. I don't know how else to convince you," she finally conceded with a wry smile.
Meanwhile, in Jinzong Village.
A team sent by Xiao Qiang arrived, only to see villagers moving furniture out in trucks.
"What's going on?" a well-dressed, professional-looking woman stopped a villager to ask.
"Oh, we used to live here, but soon we won't. This whole place has been bought by a big boss!" the villager replied, visibly excited despite the sweat on her brow.
"A big boss? Bought the entire village?" the woman was stunned.
"Yes! Now, if you'll excuse me..." the villager said before leaving.
The woman stood frozen, her mind racing.
What kind of boss buys an entire village?
Hurriedly, she pulled out her phone to report the situation.
