Chapter 33: The Most Beautiful Coupe
Chapter 33: The Most Beautiful Coupe
“Ding, congratulations Host, cumulative income 1.62 million.”
“Would you like to activate the random multiplier?”
It was the end of June, and the recharge events at all three stores had been completed; it was time for him to reap the rewards.
“Activate.”
Chen Pingsheng’s eyes were fixed on the two golden dice, but his mind was secretly thinking that if it hit four times, he’d reward himself with a second-hand luxury car worth six hundred thousand.
If it hit five times, he would go straight for a million-dollar car.
It seemed his luck wasn’t bad—the first golden die rolled a three and the second one a two.
“Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining a random five-fold increase.”
“Ding, your Alipay account has received 8,100,000, with a balance of 8.36 million.”
He had five million before.
Later, he invested three million in building a super-large freezer warehouse in Shijingshan, and another two million to open a store.
Currently, he had negotiated deals for three Shijingshan main street shops, all undergoing renovation, just the transfer fees alone were up to 1.5 million.
The remaining five hundred thousand was for renovation costs.
There were also two main street shops that had been found, and he was negotiating the transfer fees.
These two shops had even better locations than the second store on East Street.
Together, just the transfer fees were up to two million.
Finding a good location for a fruit supermarket in Capital City, with an investment of less than a million, really had a slim chance.
Fortunately, he was now truly not short on cash. Taking out another three million, the five main street shops and the freezer warehouse in Shijingshan would be completed.
The grand opening was expected to be around mid-July.
With more than five million left in his pocket, and his thirtieth birthday just around the corner, Chen Pingsheng stealthily took a taxi to the 4S shop.
He had already set his sights on either a Range Rover or a Lincoln Navigator.
The woman who served him at the Range Rover side was the same one from yesterday, not too enthusiastic.
After all, those who came to look at Range Rovers by taxi, weren’t likely to afford one.
The Range Rover was dubbed the Rolls-Royce of off-road vehicles.
It looked fantastic and truly imposing, but it had too many quality complaints.
And the price was steep.
Chen Pingsheng glanced for a while, then headed to the back to look at the Lincolns.
He had three main reasons for choosing the oversized Lincoln.
First, because it had ample space, perfect for family travel.
Second, because it was sturdy; in front of the Navigator, apart from those big trucks, other cars of similar size seemed like small toys.
There were only cases of it hitting others, never the other way around.
Safety was highly assured.
And the third, a key reason—it was five hundred thousand cheaper than the Range Rover.
The 3.5T Blue Silver edition had an on-the-road price of one million.
He didn’t know that Song Yanxi had already picked out a birthday gift for him.
The Navigator also had a Number One edition, priced around two million on the road.
Twice as expensive.
Chen Pingsheng just took a look; it was indeed great but didn’t meet his expectations.
This 3.5T Blue Silver edition was already luxurious enough.
He paid in full for it and drove it home, and the 4S shop would handle the license plate.
If you could sell luxury cars in Capital City, naturally you could solve the license plate issue as well.
Big cars were powerful; sitting in one, he felt like the road belonged to him.
He could just barrel through.
When Chen Pingsheng drove it back to the company, he happened to run into his younger sister, Chen Qi.
Chen Qi asked puzzledly, “Bro, where did you get this new car from?”
“Just bought it. How about it, not bad, right? We’ll both drive this when we go home this year.”
Indeed, it wasn’t bad. Chen Qi was dumbfounded, glancing at the Bentley Continental GT next to her which was still covered with a car cloth—her sister-in-law had prepared it as his birthday gift.
Now, her brother had gone out and stealthily bought one himself.
Buying cars felt like buying groceries.
Her brother really was getting more and more lavish.
That unadorned and solid temperament, against the backdrop of the Navigator, also became imposing and powerful.
Buying a car was just a part of everyday spending.
The key was to run the company well; he no longer felt excited about buying a million-dollar luxury car.
It was within his financial means, still affordable.
Chen Pingsheng called Zhang Tao and the others for a meeting; he had already paid in full for the eight million investment in Shijingshan.
They each had a 7% share, which meant they had to come up with 560,000.
The previous investments in Beixin’an had all been recouped beyond expectations, so investing another 560,000 wasn’t too much of a strain this time.
Chen Pingsheng asked them to transfer this money to Song Yanxi’s personal account; she had just spent over three million on a Bentley.
Then she received another 2.8 million.
Of course, she was delightfully happy.
The core goal for July was to expand in the Shijingshan district.
As long as they could seize control of the Shijingshan district, Tengsheng would then have a number one spot in the Capital City fruit market.
The brand’s influence would soar straight upward.
This meeting was not only to collect the investment money from Zhang Tao and Liu Jing but also to announce personnel appointments in advance.
That is, to decide the managers for the first five stores and the team that would be transferred there.
They had to get used to working together half a month in advance.
So they could go straight into battle once they opened for business.
A chain store had this advantage, with money and personnel, everything could be planned ahead, follow the plan, and its competitive strength was far higher than that of a single store.
After the meeting ended, it was also the day of Chen Pingsheng’s birthday.
At thirty, one stands firm, and today, he turned thirty.
After today, he’ll be thirty-one.
In the countryside back home, most people would have a banquet, except for the single dogs.
Chen Pingsheng didn’t hold a banquet, but he did have a small dinner party at home.
His sister-in-law, Song Wu, and his mother-in-law, Liu Fen, both attended.
Just look at the flair of this son-in-law from out of town, driving an SUV worth a million, parked next to the Panamera.
Even the little sister’s casual gift is an Audi A4.
What a pity for his little daughter, An’an, having previously spoiled their relationship, otherwise, he should have gotten her one too.
Can’t play favorites.
After all, they’re both sisters.
But that wasn’t even the main event. After drinking a couple of sips of red wine, Song Yanxi stood up and said, “Husband, happy thirtieth birthday.”
“Wife, I also wish you the same joy each year and happiness every day. Next year, let’s have two more chubby boys.”
Song Yanxi blushed. If we’re going to have kids, let’s have them but why announce it so loudly?
Don’t you know that having children is a matter for two people?
“Husband, I have a gift for you, please don’t scold me when you see it!”
“How could I possibly scold you? I’ll be too happy with the gift you give me.”
“That’s good.”
Song Yanxi gleefully pulled him outside, and the others followed.
Only Little Qi knew what her sister-in-law was going to give.
“Dum~ dum~ dum~ dum.”
After Song Yanxi took him outside, the Bentley Continental was still covered with a blue cloth, obscuring its full appearance.
But it was obviously a car.
“Wife, don’t tell me the gift is a car?”
“I told you no scolding, just unveil it and take a look.”
Chen Pingsheng lifted the cloth, and a brand-new Panda Edition Continental GT, combining power and gentlemanly elegance, revealed itself.
Song Wu murmured in admiration; while she only liked the Audi A4 a little bit,
she was genuinely smitten with this convertible Continental.
The most beautiful coupe there is.
Unparalleled lines filled her vision, it was so cool.
“Wife, please don’t say this is for me!”
“It is for you. Little Qi and I chose it together. You’ve worked so hard for so many years, you deserve your own convertible sports car. It suits you.”
Everybody with two legs suits the Continental GT, don’t they?
It just boils down to whether they can afford it or not. This little lady is really extravagant,
to actually go out and pick such a car as a gift for him.
He’s just a small fruit shop owner, not someone who should be driving a Bentley.
Not to mention Song Wu is already touching it, Liu Fen and the others were no different.
Of course, Chen Pingsheng would not refuse his wife’s kindness; once the money is spent, he’d just earn it back.
After all, his account balance still had over four million yuan.
His wife had even more, around five to six million yuan, and next month, another few million yuan would come in.
With their current cash, they truly weren’t lacking.
In Capital City, there are countless people with tens of millions in assets.
But very few have tens of millions in cash deposits.
The Continental GT was beautiful, but Chen Pingsheng still preferred driving the Navigator.
The sports car was once again occupied by his wife.
It was only when he climbed out of the Continental GT that Chen Pingsheng felt his life had not let down his heart’s true love.
From the day he married her, he vowed to give Song Yanxi the best life possible.
Now at twenty-six, she was driving the most beautiful Bentley coupe and living in a small villa.
Their daughter, Chen An’an, was great in everything except her studies.
He had truly cherished his beloved in life.
Seeing her sister drive a Bentley and become the object of envy wherever she went,
Song Wu really wanted to ask but couldn’t bring herself to lose face.
It was Liu Fen who took the initiative to quietly call Song Yanxi back home to prepare to start a big family meeting.
