Chapter 125 I'm Here to Buy an E-Class
Glancing at the sales manager, the tall and handsome male whose attire and appearance were impeccable and who even sported a genuine Vacheron Constantin 6654, Kevin couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. It was evident that while the sales manager's watch was authentic, Kevin's was a fake.
Although the two watches looked identical, the thickness varied. Kevin, well-versed in replica watches, knew that the most challenging aspect to replicate in fake watches, especially those with full functionality, was the thickness. Fake watches couldn't match the exact thickness of authentic watches, making this the most significant flaw.
Seeing the genuine watch in the sales manager's hand, Kevin felt a bit shameful and wished to hide his watch to avoid embarrassment if exposed.
In the presence of the handsome and elegant sales manager, Kevin couldn't help but feel inadequate.
"Well, you can just call me Kevin. I'll just have a look around. You can focus on your work." Kevin evaded the male sales manager and walked towards the E-Class car display area.
"Sir, this is the E-Class car area. The A-Class cars are displayed over there," Xavier politely blocked Kevin's path, smiling and gesturing toward the C-Class car display area.
Having worked in the 4S store for four to five years, Xavier had seen all kinds of customers. Upon Kevin's entrance, Xavier had already deemed him as someone of meager means based on his appearance and the Toyota Corolla he arrived in.
Within Xavier's subconscious, the plan to introduce Kevin to the Mercedes A-Class had already taken root. Furthermore, Xavier had no intention of extending any pleasant courtesy to Kevin.
Customers were judged based on their appearances in the sales business.
Customers deemed affluent and willing to spend were catered to in every way to ensure they left happy and bought a car. The salespeople even aimed to make connections with affluent clients, exchange contact information privately, and foster relationships.
However, for customers like Kevin, who were perceived as having modest means, sales staff were trained to exude an air of Mercedes-Benz's sophistication and superiority, making these customers feel inferior and creating a sense that they were lucky to be allowed to make a purchase.
In this way, those who admired luxury but felt inferior inside, like Kevin, were more likely to take a loan to buy a car. Buying a Mercedes-Benz A-Class made these individuals feel like they had ascended to a higher social status.
"No, I'm just here to look at the E-Class." Kevin felt a bit annoyed but still smiled and waved his hand. "I can manage on my own; no need to guide."
With that, Kevin made his way towards a black Mercedes-Benz E300L placed in the showroom.
Xavier let out a derisive chuckle, turned around with an expression that suggested, "You can't afford it anyway," and walked off, smirking as he watched Kevin with a look of disdain.
With its elegant and upscale black exterior, coupled with the super-luxurious interior, Kevin was mesmerized at first glance. The glistening Mercedes emblem immobilized him.
Mercedes-Benz cars, especially the E-Class and S-Class models, truly exuded luxury, rendering individuals speechless upon seeing them and making it difficult for them to move.
Mercedes-Benz had indeed put effort into creating an ambiance of luxury and sophistication.
"Darling! I want this one. I really love this one." A woman's coquettish plea echoed from the car's side as Kevin discreetly glanced over. He saw the woman entwining her arm around the middle-aged man's arm, rubbing her ample bosom against his arm as she coquettishly begged.
"Darling, this car isn't practical, and it's not suitable for a single woman like you to drive. I think the white Mercedes-Benz C200L suits you best." The middle-aged man, despite looking wealthy, still found the high price of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class a bit painful.
"No, I want this one. I just love this one." The woman continued to coax the man, pulling him towards the car's interior to sit.
At that moment, Kevin opened the door and settled into the driver's seat, beginning to admire the interior of the Mercedes-Benz.
Upon sitting inside, he immediately felt the difference from his Corolla. The car was not only more spacious and luxurious but also incredibly comfortable.
"No more second thoughts. This is it." Kevin gave the steering wheel a satisfied pat, muttering to himself as he made his decision.
The woman, upon seeing Kevin, a mere nobody, in the driver's seat, wrinkled her brow slightly, detected his average appearance in a mishmash of casual clothing, and then said arrogantly, "You, step outside. My husband and I want to experience this."
"Sir, I'm sorry. Please step outside. My client wants to test drive."
The female salesperson is responsible for accompanying the couple, politely but disdainfully directing Kevin out.
At that moment, Xavier approached with welcoming smiles, even offering the couple each a cup of coffee, then turned to Kevin with a smile, "Kevin, this is our flagship model, Mercedes-Benz E300L, priced at $479,900."
