**100. Observing People and Reading Faces**
"Sir, isn't this inappropriate?"
"You're buying so many cars at once; do you have some other motive?"
Xiaolan hesitated as she spoke, then suddenly froze.
"What?"
"You're not buying any of them?"
The next moment, Xiaolan's eyes widened as she snapped out of her dream.
This brat—was he playing me?
Xiaolan's face instantly darkened.
"Hehe, it's not that these cars are bad, but... they're just lacking something."
"Do you have any cars here with more taste, more quality, something unique—ideally one-of-a-kind?"
"Of course, price is not an issue!"
Liu Di chuckled.
"No, we don't!"
Xiaolan's eyebrows furrowed together.
What kind of person is this?
What kind of ridiculous request is that?
If you can't afford it, fine! It's not like I didn't give you a chance! And now you're just pretending!
"Sir, you've seen most of the brands in the showroom by now."
"If you still haven't found one you're satisfied with, I suggest you look elsewhere."
"I have other matters to attend to, so feel free to help yourself!"
With that, Xiaolan stood up and turned her head, storming off in anger.
But before she could take two steps, she collided head-on with a broad chest!
"Manager Xie..."
Xiaolan looked up in a panic at the handsome man before her, suddenly at a loss.
The handsome man wore an expression of reproach, shaking his head as he looked at Xiaolan. "Go get a glass of water; I'll handle this customer."
Then, the handsome man walked over to Liu Di with a warm smile.
"Mr. Liu, hello. I'm Xie Yuanzheng, the sales manager of this store. I heard you're looking for a special car?"
"If you have time, I can take you to our VIP showroom. We have a few limited-edition supercars there; maybe one of them will catch your eye?"
This man, Xie Yuanzheng, was polite and well-mannered, a stark contrast to Xiaolan's earlier mundane demeanor. His gaze toward Liu Di was filled with respect!
"Alright, thank you!"
Liu Di nodded slightly, feeling quite impressed as well.
This man, Xie Yuanzheng, was clearly extraordinary!
His eyes revealed a sharpness, yet his attitude remained humble!
To hold the position of sales manager in a large corporation like Siwei Sales Center, he was certainly someone important.
Judging by his age—around thirty—he probably came from a humble background, honing his skills through hard work to reach his current success!
People like him often understand the rules of the world best, knowing not to judge by appearances and to act with humility.
Having experienced the ups and downs of life and seen all kinds of people, his vision must be keen!
"Mr. Liu, shall we?"
Xie Yuanzheng stood up immediately, extending his hand to guide Liu Di.
As the two navigated the vast sales center, heading towards the VIP hall, a car on the central display of the third floor caught Liu Di's eye.
Xie Yuanzheng paused for a moment, then smiled, "Mr. Liu, you have a good eye. This is a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS454!"
"It's recognized as the most classic muscle car of the 1970s in Europe!"
"Equipped with an engine, its sole mission is to beat anything that can generate speed on a straight line!"
"The almost insane gear ratio made it the fastest car in straight-line acceleration in the civilian market at that time!"
Xie Yuanzheng bowed slightly, "However, this is an antique car used for display in our store. Besides being very expensive, this car is basically not for sale."
"A mission to beat everything? I really like that concept!"
Liu Di nodded slightly, staring at the old muscle car.
The car's paint gleamed like new—black paint, black wheels, and even the headlights were covered with black film.
The whole car looked like a black panther lying in wait, a dark meteor in the night, both reserved and radiant.
Its sharp lines hinted at its 'soul,' filled with an arrogance that seemed ready to roar to life at any moment, leaving everything in its wake!
Liu Di nodded in satisfaction, "Taste is subjective; I'm different from the average person. I don't care for those flamboyant Bentleys or Lamborghinis."
"There's no need to conform to the masses, nor should one be as humble as dust."
"A person should be like this car—having weathered the storm, shedding impatience, quietly observing everything, calm and deep as a well, but unfathomable."
"But when you move, it must be with a resounding roar, unmatched in momentum, crushing everything—silent until it's time to astound!"
Xie Yuanzheng nodded repeatedly!
These words indeed carried a sense of unique insight!
"You mentioned earlier that it's 'basically not for sale,' correct?"
Liu Di lightly patted Xie Yuanzheng's shoulder, "Could you explain what it would take to move beyond 'basically'?"
Xie Yuanzheng smiled bitterly, "Mr. Liu, I mean no disrespect, but this car itself isn't too expensive—only about a million. However, to purchase it, you would need to go through some special applications, and only our top-tier VIPs are eligible for that."
"And to become a top-tier VIP, you need to spend at least 30 million in our store."
Liu Di merely nodded calmly, "The civilian helicopter we passed by earlier, it's a Bell 210, correct? How much is that?"
Xie Yuanzheng's smile became even more bitter!
Indeed, there was a civilian helicopter for sale in the showroom.
But that was merely a prop used by the boss to show off the store's high-end status.
It had been displayed for a year, with almost no inquiries!
"Sir, that's indeed a Bell 210, and it's the luxury civilian version, priced at... 53.2 million."
"Alright, let's go with that."
Liu Di nodded slightly.
Xie Yuanzheng was momentarily stunned, "Mr. Liu, go with what?"
Liu Di pulled out a card, "The helicopter, the car, and of course, the car is the main thing."
A look of surprise flashed in Xie Yuanzheng's eyes!
But within 10 seconds, he quickly regained his composure, accepting the card with both hands, "Sir, the car's paperwork is easy, but for the helicopter..."
"You'll need an airworthiness certificate, a radio license, and a nationality registration certificate. Moreover, even if all the documents are in order, the helicopter must be registered under a legitimate company to qualify for a flight route application."
"The most important thing is... excuse my boldness, do you have a helipad?"
Liu Di thought for a moment, "You take care of the paperwork. As for the company, you can register it under the Creator's name. The helipad is on the roof of Rongteng Tower, the Creator's company helipad!"
Liu Di shrugged, "That helipad looks rather empty anyway, so just park it there!"
The Creator?
The parent company of the Twin App?
This time, Xie Yuanzheng couldn't hide his surprise!
No wonder!
Is Mr. Liu an executive at the Creator?
The Creator is the most rapidly rising company in all of China this year!
Experts have speculated that the Creator's core technology is 60 years ahead of the international standard!
Given time, it will surely rise from China and dominate the world!
Though the Creator was founded recently, its external valuation has already surpassed 100 billion!
If Mr. Liu, as an executive, holds just 1% of the shares, that's a net worth of 1 billion!
Xie Yuanzheng instantly felt humbled!
Luckily, I didn't misjudge him!
"Sir, rest assured, I will do my utmost to handle everything!"
One hour later.
In front of the Siwei Automobile Sales Center.
Nearly 70 sales staff lined up neatly on both sides.
Among them were a respectful Xie Yuanzheng and a conflicted Xiaolan.
When the young man in white slowly approached.
Everyone bowed in unison, shouting, "We look forward to your next visit, Mr. Liu!"
This is the treatment of a top-tier VIP!
Liu Di nodded in acknowledgment and slowly walked out the door!
The Chevrolet SS454 required an application, and it was impossible to simply fly the helicopter away.
Liu Di declined the offer of a courtesy car from Siwei.
Instead, he chose to take a leisurely stroll along the streets of Haishi.
Inside the Siwei Sales Center.
"Manager Xie, this is amazing! You just closed a deal worth over 50 million in one go—not just breaking records but creating a new ceiling!"
"Yeah, Manager Xie, you're so lucky! Who would've thought that handsome young guy was so rich! He's so young and already an executive at the Creator!"
Xiaolan asked Xie Yuanzheng with a face full of regret, "Manager Xie, did you know some inside information in advance?"
"Sigh..."
Xie Yuanzheng sighed, his expression respectful as he watched Liu Di's figure disappear, "It's not that I'm lucky; it's that you always judge people by their appearances and fail to recognize talent!"
"You didn't think that only those who are arrogant and domineering are truly powerful, did you?"
"That's completely wrong!"
"Let me tell you, real high-achievers are often low-key and reserved!"
"Because their minds span great horizons, they can remain indifferent, yet see through everything!"
"They may have a lofty status, but they never become arrogant because of their talents. Regardless of the identity of the person they are dealing with, as long as you are humble and polite, they will treat you with equal respect!"
"The most important thing is their invisible aura!"
"They handle matters with calm composure, making everything seem effortless!"
"But if you pay close attention, you'll notice that true masters never care about the opinions of others!"
"They are never concerned with trivial matters like clothing or environment!"
"Even if they stand among a group of people dressed in rags, they are still the ones who stand out the most!"
"And Mr. Liu Di is just such a person!"
As he said this, Xie Yuanzheng's eyes sparkled. "In fact, from the moment he entered the store, I was absolutely convinced!"
The sales team at Siwei listened, stunned.
When faced with their young and promising sales manager, they realized they truly could not match his skill in judging people!
Several hundred meters away, on the street.
Liu Di also 'heard' everything Xie Yuanzheng had said.
He smiled slightly, nodding in approval.
Then, with a thought, he added a note next to Xie Yuanzheng's name in his phone's contact list: "A talent, worth using!"
