In the parallel universe, the first car Fang Yan bought was a Bentley, which cost over 4 million.
However, obviously, 2.8 million isn't sufficient for that level of luxury, so he decides to settle for something more affordable.
"Welcome, sir!"
The sales representative warmly greeted Fang Yan with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Xiaowei, a salesperson. I'm here to assist you. Do you have a preferred model?"
Xiaowei had a pleasing appearance. Though not exceptionally beautiful, with makeup, she could be considered a striking professional beauty with a captivating smile capable of winning over even those infatuated with beauty.
Even though she was now facing a young man dressed in ordinary clothes, covered in budget-friendly brands, and seemingly lacking the appearance of a wealthy customer, Xiaowei maintained her high-quality service without any hint of condescension.
"Which brand is that car?"
Upon entering the 4S dealership, Fang Yan took a casual glance around and then pointed to a nearby SUV that caught his attention.
"Sir, you have good taste. That vehicle is a Land Rover Range Rover Velar. It's highly regarded by users for its performance and..."
Xiaowei began to provide an introduction.
However, before she could finish her explanation, Fang Yan raised his hand to interrupt.
"I'm not particularly interested in the performance details. Just give me the price."
Fang Yan stated straightforwardly.
"The base price for this model is 880,000. With all the procedures completed, it would be around 1.04 million."
"Alright, that works. Can I pay in full and drive it out now?"
Fang Yan made his decision without hesitation.
"Excuse me?"
Xiaowei was momentarily taken aback, but she quickly realized that she was dealing with a discreetly wealthy individual.
She had heard stories about individuals who dressed modestly and didn't outwardly appear rich but had substantial financial means. However, she had never encountered such a person firsthand. Now she was witnessing it firsthand!
Purchasing a million-dollar Land Rover in a single transaction without even haggling for discounts—this was a clear indication of a considerable fortune.
"Of course, I'll take care of it right away!"
Xiaowei's smile grew even brighter.
With the sales representatives motivated and acting swiftly, all the necessary procedures were completed within an hour.
"I'm Xiaowei. Here's my business card, which includes my WeChat ID. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need assistance in the future. Welcome back anytime!"
Xiaowei playfully winked at Fang Yan.
Fang Yan, however, seemed unfazed. He drove away in his newly acquired Land Rover, leaving the dealership and heading straight for a commercial building in Ningcheng.
...
With his "moderately decent" car, it only made sense to upgrade to a "moderately decent" outfit!
Ningcheng, a third-tier city, had its most bustling hub in the commercial building—an area teeming with people daily.
As a result, countless international brands were available in the commercial building, and each purchase amounted to an average Ningcheng resident's monthly earnings!
In fact, the Commercial Building in Ningcheng was renowned for its luxury offerings. If a wife mentioned going there to her husband, he'd likely go to great lengths to dissuade her. Otherwise, the household's entire year's budget could easily be blown!
"Welcome!"
Unperturbed by this, Fang Yan entered a men's clothing store that had caught his attention.
"I'd like to speak with your designer; I'm interested in getting something tailored."
Fang Yan got straight to the point.
The manager instantly grasped the situation—Fang Yan was no ordinary customer!
Actual wealthy individuals had moved beyond merely flaunting designer brands. Customized clothing, more expensive than high-end brands, had become the preferred choice for the affluent.
Fang Yan was quite familiar with this concept.
Measurements were taken, styles were chosen, and details such as colors and designs were discussed. Fang Yan's professionalism impressed the designers, who couldn't help but be intrigued.
To possess such a deep understanding, one would need substantial experience. Fang Yan displayed an impressive level of specificity and knowledge, even using terminology that designers had rarely encountered. It was evident that Fang Yan was on a different level from their usual clientele, someone who truly understood custom tailoring.
As they had guessed, Fang Yan frequently had custom clothes made in the parallel universe. Contrary to common perception, such clothing was not a mere tens of thousands of dollars. Instead, each piece could cost hundreds of thousands to millions due to the usage of premium materials and top-tier craftsmanship!
Although Fang Yan hadn't yet reached that level, he was determined to come as close as possible to his previous stature.
A few hours later, Fang Yan was transformed from head to toe!
His new outfit exuded an entirely different aura, making Fang Yan appear utterly transformed.
"The total comes to 342,658 yuan. Rounded down, it's 340,000 yuan. Thank you for your patronage!"
The cashier handed Fang Yan the bill, and behind her, the designers curiously observed him.
After their prior interactions, they had become quite interested in Fang Yan's background and actions.
"Please charge my card."
Fang Yan wasted no time, promptly handing over his card.
"Thank you for shopping with us. Here's your membership card, which entitles you to a 20% discount on future purchases!"
The cashier smiled and handed the card to Fang Yan.
Fang Yan's purchase had cost him 340,000 yuan.
In a third-tier city like Ningcheng, that was an amount an average person might save over several years!
With a single swipe, Fang Yan had exchanged a considerable sum for a new wardrobe.
However, in Fang Yan's eyes, his 340,000 yuan ensemble was still only passable. Given his starting point, he couldn't help but strive for a bit more.
Next on his agenda was a watch worth 250,000 yuan. Following his usual prompt decision-making style, Fang Yan completed the transaction swiftly. If it weren't for the necessary paperwork taking a bit of time, he might have accomplished it within three minutes!
In one go, he had spent 2.8 million yuan, leaving him with roughly 1.5 million.
Fortunately, that remaining sum was sufficient for Fang Yan's immediate needs!
