Chapter 8: Meeting an old friend while picking up the car

Li Hao turned around and looked at the salesmen who were still standing there awkwardly.

He said calmly, "It seems some people in your store don't welcome customers like me. Or perhaps they simply treat me like air?"

Their expressions changed and they quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we just..."

And the salesperson who mocked Li Hao at the beginning seemed to be making his last struggle.

Her face flushed as she said, "Mr. Li, you need to pay a deposit to place an order for an imported car. This car must be ordered from Germany. If you regret not buying it, our store will have to bear the loss. The deposit cannot be refunded!"

Li Hao said calmly, "No problem. I'll use this card to pay for both cars in full. Please expedite it for me!"

He took out the private banking card of Jianzhong Bank.

Sometimes, it has to be said that just by taking out a small card, in the eyes of those who understand, one can judge a person's social status, identity, and financial resources.

What followed was naturally the moment when the store manager personally greeted him, paid with a card, and Li Hao went home with more gifts, which was a secretly happy moment.

Before leaving, I was honored to be added on WeChat by a young and beautiful intern.

……

a few days later.

"Laopi, look, how did I do on your first mission?" Li Hao was lying on the sofa at home, looking at the ceiling boredly, and chatting casually with his system in his mind.

"The car selection is fine, and I'll leave it as it is. Xiao Li, you're buying an imported car with a limited-edition paint job. You're going to have to wait for months! The plan I've arranged for you doesn't allow that much time!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier? However, I found out there's a car with the same specs going through customs, and it's about to enter the country. Why don't you help me increase the chances of the owner changing his mind and not wanting it? That way I can get back to my mission, right? What do you think, Old Pi?"

「Okay, you're waiting for me here? Well, it's not difficult to get 100% for such a small thing, but this is just once!」

"Thanks a lot, Lao Pi! You said I called you dad, shouldn't you spoil me a little more? What father doesn't love his son?"

Li Hao started to act like a fool, and their conversation gradually took a strange turn.

"My dear, if you call me a few more times, I might be so happy that I can help you create more miracles!"

Lao Pi is not at a disadvantage at all.

"...You are so cruel!" This time it was Li Hao's turn to be defeated.

Just then, he received a new message notification on WeChat.

"Brother Hao, I found out recently that there's a car exactly like the one you ordered that day that has also passed customs and entered the country! Now the original owner has changed his mind and decided not to order it, so I intercepted it for you. This way, we'll have it in our store in two days and you can pick it up!"

"Okay, Xiao Liu, I'll go there as soon as you finish the formalities."

"No problem, Brother Hao, I'll wait for you!"

It turned out that Liu Xia brought him good news. Li Hao was in a good mood and replied immediately.

However, Li Hao knew in his heart that although Lao Pi teased him harshly, he was very decisive when doing things.

This little "accident" was arranged so cleverly and perfectly.

Two days later, Li Hao went to pick up the car.

While waiting in the hall, as luck would have it, an old acquaintance of his showed up.

Bear persimmon.

It was a trader from one of Li Hao's teams when he was still at the private equity fund company. He had made some money by shorting the stock index and also came to look at the car.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Li? I heard that your private equity firm went bankrupt right after you resigned? You still owe a lot of money, right?"

"Xiong Shi, long time no see. Are you still insider trading? Was the lesson I taught you enough?"

It turned out that this man named Xiong Shi, although he had strong trading skills and a deep understanding of the market, was always unwilling to just take the salary and a low percentage of the share during the time he worked under Li Hao.

Even though his annual salary has already exceeded one million after tax, it is not an exaggeration to call him a white-collar worker.

With his quick thinking, he started to engage in the "rat trading" operation which is very bad in the financial industry but very effective.

Imagine that many people, as retail investors, have worked hard to save some money and enter the stock market with hope, dreaming of making a fortune.

However, people like Xiong Shi are using their "inside information" to quietly take advantage of everyone.

They buy at low prices before retail investors build up positions, and then sell at high prices after others follow suit, making a fortune.

Most people can only watch their hard-earned money being drained away.

These "bears" are parasites in the stock market. They use their power to find out in advance which stocks will rise and which will fall, and then operate secretly to make huge profits.

It's like in a fair orienteering race, someone knows the location of the finish line in advance, then secretly takes a shortcut and leaves everyone else behind.

Li Hao, upon learning of his behavior, fired him immediately, reported him to the supervisor, and brought him to justice.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Mr. Li! If you hadn't fired me back then, I wouldn't have founded the current 'Xiong Shi' studio and made a fortune in the capital market. Instead, I would have sunk into the sea with that wreck you started!"

"Stop the nonsense, Xiong Shi! The regulators are showing you mercy by allowing you to participate in the market again. So you're still not satisfied?"

"Alright, Mr. Li, the new 5 Series is on the market. I'm here to look at the car today. I don't have time for you!" Xiong Shi looked at Li Hao with disdain, then added, "I heard you've started driving a private car, haven't you? How do you still have time to come here? Aren't you here to pick up some rich woman who came to look at the car? Hahahaha!"

"I'm here to pick up the car today. How about I show you around?" Li Hao responded calmly, with no emotion in his heart.

"Wow, these days, ride-hailing services are really good. They've started using BMWs to get the job done. So, is it a 1 Series? Or maybe a 3 Series? I'd really like to take a closer look! And if you're going to finance a five-year loan for a car like this, will the bank approve the loan?"

Xiong Shi's tone became even more frivolous, and he was convinced that Li Hao must have taken out a loan for the longest period of time, just to brag about it and buy a car.

"You'll know when you come and take a look." Li Hao was so angry that he laughed at Xiong Shi's words. Instead, he felt that what was going to happen next would be very interesting.

"Brother Hao, you're here! Come, I'll take you to get the car."

Today, Liu Xia made Li Hao feel good as usual, and he found his name printed on Liu Xia's name tag, which must have meant that she had been promoted to a regular employee.

"Little girl, is there a car delivery ceremony for buying a 1 Series now? Your store's service is pretty good!" Xiong Shi said sarcastically.

"Sir, are you Brother Hao's friend?" Liu Xia didn't realize his sarcasm for a moment and asked Xiong Shi.

"This is Mr. Xiong. He originally wanted to see the 5 Series, but he wants to see the one I bought more. Let's go pick up the car!" Li Hao said first without further explanation.

"Come with me, both of you." Out of courtesy, Liu Xia invited them to go with her.

Li Hao followed behind Liu Xia with a playful smile on his face.

Xiong Shi followed closely behind, making a few sarcastic laughs from time to time, as if he had seen Li Hao's embarrassment.

However, when they arrived at the center of the car pick-up area, a brand new convertible BMW 8 Series was parked there quietly.

The lights in the showroom shone on the San More green paint, making it sparkle.

"This...is this your car?" Xiong Shi's voice was a little unnatural and he began to stutter.

"Brother Hao test drove the car for five minutes a few days ago and then bought it with full payment." Liu Xia's clear voice sounded to Xiong Shi like a "comfort" for his "unworldly" behavior.

Li Hao nodded slightly, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "Yes, I just bought it and used it as a private car."

"She has one like it. You can ask her to introduce it to you." Then, Li Hao looked at Xiong Shi and pointed at Liu Xia.

At this time, Xiong Shi was five points embarrassed, three points angry, and two points puzzled.

But anyway, he kept his mouth shut.

His eyes were fixed on the coolest 8 Series car in the venue, and his face was full of black lines.

[Okay, Xiao Li, let's complete the formalities and start the package plan as soon as possible]
