Chapter 15: Congratulations to the Three Principals on Receiving Luxury Cars_1
Jiangbin Road.
At the entrance of an Audi dealership.
Ding Yue, Huang Youjie, and Xu Bin arrived by taxi, ready to each pick up a car today.
After discussing among themselves,
They decided to set a budget of around one million for each. Any luxury cars costing several million would be too extravagant and completely unnecessary.
Ding Yue didn't want to buy a supercar for showing off. It's simply pointless, and in the congested city traffic, such cars can't go full throttle anyway.
So, Ding Yue decided to get a car from his favorite factory.
What's not to love in getting the car and the wish together?
Huang Youjie decided to get a BMW, and Xu Bin preferred a Mercedes-Benz.
Each member of their group now had one of the German "big three" luxury brands.
They are just ordinary guys who appreciate the simpler things!
"Gentlemen, please come in." Just as the three of them reached the entrance of the Audi dealership, the sales staff warmly invited them in.
"Are you gentlemen looking for a car?"
The salesperson hastily asked.
Ding Yue nodded: "Yes, we are."
"Do you have a specific model in mind, sir? Our Audi A4L has a big discount right now..."
The salesperson briefly took in Ding Yue's appearance.
From his professional point of view, Ding Yue was dressed quite ordinarily with no sign of luxury brands on his accessories, so presumably, he should be interested in models in the 200,000 to 300,000 range like the Audi A3 and the A4L.
"Let's skip the A4L."
Ding Yue shook his head. The A4L was far from what he had in mind.
No second thoughts about it,
It was simply too cheap. As the principal of a university, driving a luxury car worth one million wouldn't be excessive, would it?
"Do you have the A8 in stock?"
Ding Yue promptly asked.
If his budget is one million, and given his status as the principal, the Audi A8 would be a slightly more business-oriented choice.
"The A8, yes, yes, of course, we have it!" The salesperson's eyes lit up in response.
He just underestimated this client's purchase capacity; he wants to buy the Audi A8 worth over one million.
"Xiao Li, quickly, serve some tea for these gentlemen. How about West Lake Longjing?" The salesperson's enthusiasm clearly exceeded their initial greeting.
"Anything will do."
Ding Yue didn't really care much about the tea.
The salesperson then led Ding Yue and the others to an Audi A8,
With its black body, the classic Audi twin grille on the front, and striking headlight design.
The lamp array behind the transparent glass matched perfectly with the radiator grill, and the tail lights and indicators using LED technology appeared tasteful and advanced.
The car lights were an absolute highlight of the Audi.
The smooth, rounded roofline of the A8 easily led one's gaze towards the back, reminiscent of the style of a two-door sports car.
So far, Ding Yue was quite happy with the overall exterior of the Audi A8.
"I would like to test drive it."
Ding Yue had just gotten his driver's license in the summer.
However, in his previous life on Earth, Ding Yue had years of driving experience and could even be called a seasoned driver.
However,
He had never driven a luxurious car like the Audi A8 before.
"Of course sir, let's arrange a test drive," the salesperson promptly agreed.
Subsequently, Ding Yue took this Audi A8 for a test drive, and the overall feeling was pretty good. The comfort and driving sensations both met Ding Yue's satisfaction.
"Alright, I'll take this one."
"Fantastic choice, sir. This Audi A8 suits you perfectly…" Upon hearing Ding Yue's quick decisiveness in booking the top-tier Audi A8, the salesman's face was beaming and he immediately prepared the car purchase contract for Ding Yue.
"I don't know what it is, I just can't get into the four rings, maybe it's because I don't particularly like the front face of this brand, it looks like a fence."
Huang Youjie critiques Ding Yue's purchase of the Audi A8.
"It's quite normal, everyone's taste in cars is different. For example, some people like the sharp-face, round-cheek model of Japanese cars, some like the neat and tidy models of Volkswagen, you prefer BMW, I like Audi, Bin prefers Mercedes, there's a 'Hamlet' for each reader."
Ding Yue said, laughing.
About ten minutes later, the salesman brought the car buying contract, and Ding Yue, without a word, directly paid the full amount for the Audi A8.
"Wishing you a delightful car buying experience, sirs. Would you like to check out other Audi models?"
The salesman turned to Huang Youjie and Xu Bin and asked.
Being able to accompany someone able to afford a luxury car worth over a million suggests considerable financial strength.
"No need, they both aren't fans of Audi."
Ding Yue directly told the salesperson, then went with Huang Youjie and Xu Bin to the neighboring BMW store.
In the end, Huang Youjie purchased a BMW 7 series.
Then Xu Bin went to the Mercedes store and picked up a Mercedes S-Class, both luxury cars worth more than a million.
After buying three cars and spending several million, to Ding Yue with nearly four hundred million yuan, this was just loose change.
But the car is definitely a must-have.
As the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University, with Huang Youjie and Xu Bin as vice-principals, and also serving as directors of logistics and politics, having a car is essential.
Driving their first cars ever, Huang Youjie and Xu Bin were thrilled.
The three of them drove towards University Town.
After returning to Mist City Arts and Science University, Ding Yue called Huang Youjie and Xu Bin into his office to get updates on their respective responsibilities.
"Let me get this straight, you and your master have been working on the forum, and it's been live since this morning?"
The school's official forum was launched so quickly that it left Ding Yue amazed.
"Yes, the reason it's so quick is because we're using the same server as our school's official website. However, this server is a bit cheap, so with more people, it might lag a bit. Should we rent a better server later?"
Xu Bin suggested renting a new server.
"No problem." Ding Yue nodded in agreement.
"Yue, Liu Changwen from Siyuan Group previously gave me a recruitment firm's contact info. We're currently conducting employee recruitment for our school."
After finishing up the student enrollment, Huang Youjie immediately started recruiting foundational staff for Mist City Arts and Science University.
Security guards, dormitory management, cleaners, logistics, electricians, etc., all need to be hired.
"Speed up."
"By the way, Yue, of the new students we admitted, nine thousand six hundred, around six have chosen traditional majors based on their interests and hobbies. The three thousand others' interests and hobbies are mainly video games, National Arts, football, animation, writing novels... The majority are interested in playing video games, I'll send you the statistical table."
As Xu Bin spoke, he sent the compiled statistics data to Ding Yue's computer.
Ding Yue opened it and took a look.
Basically, it was close to what Xu Bin had said.
Out of the existing 69 undergraduate majors in Mist City Arts and Science University, all of them had students enrolled, adding up to over six thousand people.
An average estimate shows about a hundred students per major.
However, some popular majors do have larger enrolment numbers, such as the highly practical Accounting major.
Ding Yue looked at the unpopular majors, where enrolment numbers were relatively low, the least popular major had only 9 enrollees.
Surprisingly, there were quite a few who chose high-end majors like Engineering Physics, Chemistry, and Biomedical Sciences.
Others enrolled in Aerospace majors.
These high-tech majors are actually just for appearances at Mist City Arts and Science University, it's virtually impossible to achieve concrete outcomes with them at present.
