Chapter 045: Mr. Smoke, how about buying a car?
Although Charles's video went viral online, he wasn't particularly worried.
First, the video wasn't very clear, only capturing a silhouette from behind, so he wasn't concerned about being recognized.
Maybe those who knew him well could recognize him.
But strangers on the street would still pass by without noticing.
Second, in this age of information explosion, someone might suddenly become famous, but if they stay out of the limelight for a while, they'll quickly fade away. To maintain long-term discussion, one must frequently appear in front of the audience.
That's what internet celebrities are.
Most of them become a trend in an instant and then fade away just as quickly!
In the evening, Charles was chatting with Jessica on his phone.
But then he kept getting messages from the VIP group.
He opened the group chat to take a look.
The conversation was all about him.
"Emperor Ching? Did you solve your funding problem?"
"Yes. Thanks to Mr. Smoke, he bought my villa and paid in full. With this money, I should be able to hold out until the market recovers!"
"Mr. Smoke is so generous and efficient!"
"Mr. Smoke is not just generous. Dealing with him this time has completely changed my perspective. Now I know what a true Ultra-rich Patron is!"
Gentle Breeze teased.
"What do you mean?"
"Let me tell you, when Mr. Smoke came over this time, he brought a girl and gave her my villa as a gift. Although I admit this villa isn't the top luxury home, it's still worth nine million dollars. Mr. Smoke gave it away without hesitation. But that girl was indeed very beautiful!"
Peter bragged in the group, causing quite a stir.
The emperors in the group were all wealthy.
They could casually give gifts worth tens of thousands of dollars to female streamers.
But giving away a nine-million-dollar villa was something none of them could do!
Even Emperor Dragon would have to think twice.
"Awesome! Mr. Smoke really has a lot of money!"
"What kind of girl is worth nine million dollars? Give me the money, Mr. Smoke, and I'll find you ten different beautiful streamers, all top-notch!"
"@Mr. Smoke, I am a luxury car dealer. I have channels to get cars that many domestic dealers can't. Are you interested?"
A group member with the ID 'Emperor Car' asked.
"Mr. Smoke probably doesn't lack luxury cars, but buying a few more wouldn't hurt!"
"Do you have a Bugatti?"
At this point, Charles chimed in with a message.
As soon as this message was sent out, the whole group exploded.
"Mr. Smoke is truly Mr. Smoke, asking for a Bugatti right off the bat! "
"Bugatti cars are usually limited worldwide. Without some connections, even with money, it's really hard to get one!"
"But Emperor Car should have the connections. I bought an Aston Martin from him before!"
"@Mr. Smoke, let's talk privately!"
Emperor Car replied.
"Ding! Emperor Car from the Shark Live VIP group has requested to add you as a friend. Do you accept?"
"Accept!"
Charles quickly accepted the friend request.
"Mr. Smoke, if you really want a Bugatti, I can try to find one, but I'll need a five percent commission. Is that okay with you?"
"No problem. Do you have a Bugatti Chiron?"
Charles asked nonchalantly.
It's normal for the other party to take a commission for getting such a top-tier luxury car.
'After all, they have the connections, and you don't!'
Charles directly asking for a Bugatti Chiron made Emperor Car really nervous.
This is a top luxury car worth 2.4 million dollars, with only twenty worldwide.
'I thought you just wanted a Bugatti Veyron, but you actually want a Bugatti Chiron?'
"Sorry, Mr. Smoke, but I don't have the cennections to get a Bugatti Chiron!"
"Lamborghini Veneno or Pagani Huayra would work too!"
Charles typed back.
Settling for the next best thing.
Emperor Car was speechless!
These requests were tough!
'Why do you only want these limited editions?'
The luxury cars he dealt with usually range from 400,000 to 1.4 million dollars.
But what Charles wanted were all top-tier limited editions, with the cheapest being the $7.4 million Pagani Huayra and the $14 million Lamborghini Veneno.
Even with his extensive network, this was quite challenging!
"Mr. Smoke, the models you mentioned are really hard to get. How about looking at something else? The most expensive car I can get is a Ferrari LaFerrari, priced at 3.5 million dollars, or a top-spec Lamborghini Aventador, priced at 1.4 million dollars! If you buy these models, I won't take any commission!"
Emperor Car sent this message together with several pictures.
Charles looked at the pictures and thought the Lamborghini Aventador suited his taste and looked more domineering.
But it was only 1.4 million dollars, too cheap!
Not impressive enough!
The Ferrari LaFerrari was more expensive, but the model was too small, more suitable for women!
'Right, isn't Jessica's birthday next week? I haven't thought of what to get her! This Ferrari LaFerrari seems quite fitting!'
Charles thought for a moment.
He decided to get the car and give it to Jessica as a gift!
"Emperor Car, I've made my choice. I'll take the Ferrari LaFerrari. Price is not an issue. I have only one request: deliver the car to the Oceanview Villa Community, Garden Villa No. 1 in Syeattel next week, and I'll pay on delivery!"
"No problem, Mr. Smoke's name is trustworthy!"
Emperor Car was delighted to have closed another deal.
This deal alone would earn him at least 150,000 dollars.
Just from chatting for a while.
Selling cars in the VIP group is different because of the exclusive circles involved, which naturally leads to making more money.
No wonder big shots can easily land million-dollar projects just by having a meal together!
Once you're in this circle, making money becomes easy.
