Chapter 127
The Panamera was very beautiful.
However, Joanna didn’t know its price.
The saleswoman had a keen observation. She knew that Oliver wanted to buy a car for his sister who looked a little nervous, and Joanna was the person who had the final say of which car she would buy.
“Miss, this is a Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. You can try it on.”
Joanna hesitated, but Oliver opened the car door with a smile and encouraged Joanna, “Try it on.” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Then Joanna got in the car, and the saleswoman hurriedly sat on the passenger seat from the other side. Then she said, “This car has a V8 engine with 630 horsepower and 100-yard acceleration in just 3.2 seconds, which is very powerful, and it’s very safe with merge assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking system, night vision system, automatic parking entry, etc., which is perfect for newbies with poor skills.”
How could Joanna understand those words?
She only thought the interior of this car was very beautiful. The main colors were red and brown. There were four seats in total in front and rear, like four independent airline seats.
The saleswoman introduced the car to Joanna for a long time, but Joanna didn’t listen to her at all. After the saleswoman finished speaking, Joanna only asked, “How much is this car?”
The saleswoman nodded and said, “This is the top model of Panamera. This car has optional features. It costs about 590 thousand dollars.”
“590 thousand dollars?” Hearing the number, Joanna was frightened and hurriedly pushed open the door to get off.
But Oliver, who was outside the car door, said directly to the saleswoman in the passenger seat, “That’s it. Make an order for
me.”
The saleswoman was stunned for a moment and then shook her head with an awkward smile, saying, “Mr. Eastwood, I can’t do that for you now. This car has been booked and should have been picked up a long time ago, but the customer had some problems with his credit information. So his loan has not yet been approved. He will pick up the car after his loan is granted.”
But Oliver said indifferently, “He hasn’t got his loan yet. You can just order another car for him. Maybe he won’t get his loan. Well, I’ll give you another 50,000 dollars, a total of 640 thousand dollars. Go through the formalities immediately and I’ll pick up the car directly.”
The saleswoman was stunned again and hesitated for a moment before she said to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, so… Please wait a minute. Could you give me a second to report it to the manager?”
Oliver nodded and said, “Okay. Hurry up. I’ll give you five minutes. If you can’t do that for me, we can go to another shop directly.”
Hearing Oliver’s words, the saleswoman immediately trotted up to the office on the second floor to find the manager.
Within five minutes, the saleswoman came back with a woman in her thirties.
The woman looked very elegant, dressed in a suit, and looked like an anchorwoman.
She was not very young but very beautiful.
The saleswoman hurriedly introduced the woman to Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, this is Shelly Eastwood, our manager.”
Oliver nodded slightly at Shelly.
Shelly was smiling politely and stretched out her hand to Oliver, saying, “Hello, Mr. Eastwood. It’s great to meet you! What an honor to share the same family name as you!” Oliver smiled and nodded again.
He remained his politeness hearing Shelly’s flattery.
Shelly shook hands with Oliver and said, “Mr. Eastwood, Jasmine told me just now that you wanted to pick up that Panamera directly. I checked the previous customer’s information and found that it was difficult for him to make a payment, so I’ve decided to give you this car first and then refund the deposit of 20,000 dollars to the previous customer. However, you are our major customer and have bought a luxury car before, so I don’t need your 50,000-dollar mark-up. The price for your Panamera will be 590 thousand dollars. Is that okay with you?”
Oliver suddenly smiled and nodded, saying, “That’s great, Ms. Eastwood. I think we should be friends since you’re so kind and professional. You don’t have to save me the 50,000-dollar mark-up. It’s your tips. Let’s make a deal at the price of 640 thousand dollars. Please take me to the finance department to make the payment right away.”
Shelly knew Oliver’s character very well. When Oliver bought his luxury car last time, he paid 6 million dollars directly. She knew that Oliver was very rich, so she didn’t even mention the installment plan.
Jasmine hurried to go through the formalities. Stella didn’t come to work today, so Jasmine was very lucky.
Joanna quietly pulled Oliver’s sleeve and whispered, “Oliver, let’s get another car. This one is… It’s too expensive. I just need to buy a car worth about 20,000 dollars.”
Oliver shook his hand and followed Shelly to the finance department to pay for the Panamera. He didn’t care about 640 thousand dollars at all.
He could get 640 thousand dollars with a rock in Manchernius.
Oliver paid 640 thousand dollars directly.
Shelly smiled happily. Oliver gave an additional 50,000 dollars which would be a net profit, so Shelly would get a large number of commissions from it.
It was really rare for Shelly to meet such a generous customer.
The formalities were completed soon. The temporary license plate and car insurance were all done.
Shelly even gave Joanna a set of high-end foot mats, which was an exception for Lux Auto Company.
On the way back, Oliver asked Joanna to drive in person with him sitting in the passenger seat, and Wayne would drive behind them.
Joanna was forced to drive the car. She was so nervous that her nose tip was covered in sweat.
Oliver asked Joanna to drive slowly.
Joanna was nervous on the road in front of the car shop, but she relaxed when she got to the main street outside.
There were few cars on the six-lane avenue. Joanna became more and more excited as she drove longer and gradually felt at
case.
“It’s easy to drive,” Joanna said excitedly. “Oliver, I thought the more expensive a car is, the harder it will be to drive it. I didn’t expect this car to be so easy to drive. It’s much better than the car I drove in the driving school!”
Oliver smiled and said, “You were wrong. In fact, the more expensive and luxurious a car is, the better it feels to drive it. Rich people are looking for pleasure. Why should we buy a car that is not easy to drive?”
The avenue outside the 4s store was empty, so Joanna drove back and forth several times.
Seeing that Joanna was getting better and better at it and less nervous, Oliver said to her, “Let’s go back to the company first.”
There were several special parking spaces in front of the company. Joanna was not good at reversing the car. Oliver didn’t let her use the automatic parking entry because it would not help with Joanna’s skills, so he taught her techniques.
Finally, the car was parked. Although it was not perfectly parked, it finally stopped in the yellow line of the parking space.
After getting out of the car, Joanna was about to talk to Oliver when someone nearby said in surprise, “Joanna?”
Joanna and Oliver felt that the voice was so familiar, but they couldn’t remember who the speaker was. They both looked up and found that it was Marshall!
It was Joanna’s ex-husband, Marshall who kicked her out.
Marshall stared at the Panamera that Joanna had just gotten off again in surprise. Then he pointed to it and asked Joanna, “Is that your car? It’s not cheap, is it? Who did you hook…”
Marshall thought Joanna had hooked up with some rich guy this time. But when he saw Oliver getting out of the car with Joanna, he swallowed his words back.
