When Chen Ze heard that Li Mu said he wanted to buy a G55, he couldn't help but remind him: "The comfort of that car is not very good. The suspension, adjustment, and seats are not suitable for driving in urban areas."
Li Mu asked him: "A car worth two to three million dollars can't be any less comfortable than my GL8, right?"
Chen Ze smiled and said: "Of course that's not the same thing. What I mean is that the comfort level of the G55 is very average for its price, but it is definitely much better than your GL8."
Li Mu said: "That's enough. I really like that car. It's upright, boxy, and imposing."
Chen Ze nodded: "That car is good for off-road use, but if you are interested, just buy it. The money is nothing to you anyway."
Li Mu asked him: "Can I buy it domestically? Or do I have to ask someone to buy it?"
Chen Ze said: "It's not easy to buy in China. Let's ask Fatty Wang later. He has a way to do this."
When they arrived at the private room, Fatty Wang had already heard the news and came over. The bar business had been very good recently. His whole face was glowing red. As soon as he arrived, he started offering cigarettes and drinks. Li Mu introduced Song Liang to Fatty Wang, but did not go into details. , just saying he was a friend of the family.
Fatty Wang shook hands with Song Liang, and at the same time, he took out a business card and handed it over, saying, "Brother Liang, from now on I will come to Yanjing to find my younger brother, who will provide one-stop service for food, drink, and entertainment. I'm sure he will be more considerate than Li Mu's arrangements."
Song Liang nodded in thanks and took the business card. Chen Ze on the side said: "By the way, Li Mu wants to buy a G55. You have many friends in this field. Can you help me find out?"
Fatty Wang said: "Oh, you have to go to Lao Cai to buy a car. He is the leader of Yanjing's reverse car. As long as it is a civilian car, no matter what brand or model, if you give him enough money, he can get it. This is the G55." If you want to order a car from a domestic dealer, you will have no chance of ordering it. You have to wait for several months at least. If you go to Lao Cai, you can order it a month at most."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Who is Lao Cai?"
"Cai Zhengmao." Fatty Wang said: "My family is engaged in import and export trade. He really likes cars, especially luxury sports cars, so he used his family's channels and relationships to start an imported car business, mainly from North America and the Middle East market." He takes the car and ships it to Tianjin Port, where he can directly buy the car and complete customs clearance."
Li Mu felt that this name seemed familiar and couldn't help but said, "I really wish I had heard of this person's name somewhere."
Fatty Wang asked, "Have you two met?"
Li Mu shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
Fatty Wang said: "Maybe I heard it from a friend in some circle. He also helped Jiaming get the G55. This guy has so many luxury cars, from Rolls-Royce to Ferraris, at least eight or nine."
"Ferrari!" Li Mu suddenly remembered!
Geng Yang, who was pestering Chen Wan at first, called Lin Lin after beating Zhao Kang. Lin Lin mentioned this person's name at that time. It seemed that Geng Yang and he had bought a red Ferrari, and Geng Yang was Zhao Kang drove the Ferrari and took people to the hot spring hotel for a taxi.
That kid Geng Yang has been quiet recently. I don't know what Cai Zhengmao has to do with him.
So, Li Mu asked him: "Have you ever heard of a man named Geng Yang? What is his relationship with Cai Zhengmao?"
Fatty Wang suddenly thought of what was going on, and he laughed and said, "If you didn't mention Geng Yang, I would have almost forgotten about it. You have made a fool of that boy!"
As he said that, Fatty Wang swallowed and continued: "After that kid came to Yanjing, he bought a Ferrari and spent money on entertaining guests all day long. It was not easy for him to get one foot into the circle. As a result, you After the premiere of "Oldboy", he was scolded by his family and ran back to Yanjing from his hometown. However, not long afterward, he heard that his family had completely cut off his finances. He had no money left. He used to follow Tang Quan, who he hung out with, ignored him. Even Tang Quan didn't bother to talk to him, and Cai Zhengmao didn't take him seriously. In the end, Geng Yang might not be able to resist anymore and returned to his hometown in Jizhou in despair. ”
Li Mu nodded lightly: "That's good, otherwise if he gets very close to Geng Yang, he might not be willing to sell the car to me."
Fatty Wang smiled and said: "You are so famous in the circles of Yanjing now. Jishen Laobaigan's sales have dropped a lot. It is said that it is all your fault. Our local Erguotou, as well as those in the Northeast When several wine brands saw that Jishen Laobaigan was in decline, they all pursued and attacked it, leaving Jishen Laobaigan in a very embarrassing situation."
Li Mu knows that "Old Boy" will definitely have a certain impact on Ji Shen Lao Baigan, but he doesn't know how big the impact will be, but this is also the price of the other party's arrogance.
Fatty Wang asked again: "When do you want to book a car? I can make an appointment with him to meet you."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "It's not necessary to meet him. Since you are familiar with him, please help me inquire about the price with him. I want the silver G55. Let him give me a quotation. The other thing is to ask Ask how long it will take.”
Fatty Wang nodded immediately and said, "I'll make a call and ask."
After saying that, Fatty Wang left the private room first, then came back in about five minutes later, and said to Li Mu: "I asked just now. He said he has a Middle Eastern customized version of the bulletproof G55 in silver. He is looking for a buyer. The price is Three and a half million, if you are interested, please pay a deposit of half a million and it will be shipped next week."
Li Mu calculated in his mind that the G55 would cost more than 2 million including tax. The bulletproof customized version sounded so high-end that the price would be doubled at least. However, the price of 3.5 million is a bit too cheap. .
Before Li Mu could ask the doubts in his heart, Fatty Wang explained: "Cai Zhengmao said that it was customized by a wealthy man in the Middle East. Later, he didn't like it and switched to customizing the military version of the Hummer H1. This car was simply sold at a low price. It's said that it has never been opened. How come it was shipped from Germany to the Middle East and then rested in the Middle East? If it comes at full price, it will probably cost about 500."
Li Mu nodded. At this moment, he was moved. At the same time, he also felt that buying a car for 3.5 million was a bit too exaggerated. But when he thought of what he had experienced on the road today, he had a firm idea in his heart. No matter what, In this way, he must have a car that is safe and has a certain status symbol, otherwise if something happens one day, more than three million cannot be saved.
So, Li Mu made up his mind and said to Fatty Wang: "Please tell him, I want the car. Give me an account number, and 500,000 will be transferred to his account tomorrow."
"Okay." Fatty Wang nodded: "I will contact him right away."
Fatty Wang conveyed Li Mu's intention to buy the car to Cai Zhengmao, who gave a rough timetable for shipment next week and a twenty-day voyage to Tianjin. He had special channels. Once the car landed, the procedures could be completed within three days. When it comes to Yanjing, he will arrange a vehicle to transport the car to Yanjing, and Li Mu will just pay him the remaining three million at that time.
…
After initially deciding on cooperation matters related to real estate development with Song Liang and Chen Ze, Li Mu realized that he had not contacted Chen Wan in the past two days. The last time Chen Wan came back, she asked Zhao Kang to drive his car to pick her up at the airport. Since then, I didn't bother to look for her.
On the day Song Liang left Yanjing, Li Mu asked Chen Wan to go out for dinner, and then he learned that she had not yet completed the resignation procedures.
At the dinner table, Chen Wan pretended to be relaxed and said: "Currently, it looks like we have to wait for more than twenty days. If I haven't been given the resignation procedures after one month, I will apply for arbitration. Anyway, it will only take about twenty days." Regarding the matter, Xiangnan Satellite TV said it’s okay and can wait, so I can take this opportunity to rest for a while.”
Li Mu said angrily: "Yanjingtai's approach is too disgusting. When I was here, I was suppressed by them and didn't even have a chance to appear on camera. Now that I'm resigning, they can't go through the resignation procedures quickly." , It is simply harming others without benefiting oneself, and it is very disgusting."
Chen Wan smiled slightly and comforted Li Mu: "Don't be angry, it's okay. If they want to do it, let them do it. We don't have the same experience as him."
Li Mu said: "I just feel aggrieved for you. Not to mention that I have been wronged for such a long time. Before I left, I had to be told that the very interview host must have an ulterior relationship with the leader of your station."
Chen Wan smiled and said, "I don't know about this, so don't make blind guesses. After dinner, go shopping with me to Wangfujing. The weather is getting warmer. I want to buy a thinner coat." .”
Li Mu nodded and did not continue to discuss the TV station issue with Chen Wan, but began to think about it in his heart.
When Chen Wan first joined Yanjing Satellite TV, she was assigned to the "Extraordinary Interview" program group as an intern assistant host. Ma Weiwei thought she was young, beautiful and had a good temperament, so she kept suppressing her from appearing on the show, and did not let her go to other program groups. Her intention Obviously, she just doesn’t want Chen Wan to appear in any of Yanjing Satellite TV’s programs. If she did it alone, she might be able to suppress it at first, but after Chen Wan becomes famous through "Oldboy", she will definitely enter the show. Even though she was in the sight of the leaders on stage, she still didn't get a chance to appear on the scene. This shows that Ma Weiwei is definitely not just relying on her own ability to suppress Chen Wan. There must be senior leaders helping her.
Li Mu had heard too much about various gossips in the entertainment industry and the anchor industry, so he instinctively concluded that Ma Weiwei must have a close relationship with a senior leader of Yanjing TV Station, so Li Mu's thoughts had been on Ma Weiwei throughout the night. Although Chen Wan was happy with the peace and was willing to waste a month in exchange for a peaceful resignation, Li Mu really couldn't swallow this sigh of relief. If Chen Wan was tormented by these people before leaving, then she would be in Yanjing Satellite TV's episode After suffering so many grievances, could it be wasted
She may be generous and open-minded, but Li Mu is not. He feels that he must seek justice for Chen Wan in this matter.
So he called Xu Jiaming, and after being polite, he asked him: "Jiaming, a wealthy family like yours is inseparable from all kinds of inside stories and gossip, so you should not be able to avoid dealing with those private detectives, right?"
