Chapter 534 - 237: You’ve All Been Secretly Getting Rich, Haven’t You? (Part 2)
...
Jiangbei Commerce City Store.
Early in the morning on January 29, Li Yang came with Jiang Banxia.
So far, they had only received over seven hundred orders, and online bystanders were going crazy.
Some people even gathered at the service center entrance, wanting to see who the so-called big spenders buying Extreme Shadow Cars were.
Three hundred and fifty thousand—it’s a sizable amount, even with the so-called subsidies...
Yet, people were indeed buying, and early in the morning, customers started lining up.
In the lounge, families were enjoying breakfast and tasting snacks, waiting for their vehicle handover ceremony.
Some came alone, feeling slightly uneasy with the surroundings, sitting in the corner.
This person was Ning Hao.
Along with him were others, all loyal followers of Li Yang, who had made some money because of him.
The service center had over sixty employees already busy, showing people the cars, arranging dining.
Of course, the car handover area was being prepared for the ceremony for each new car.
When people saw Li Yang and Jiang Banxia come over, they were stunned.
Wow, the boss personally came to hand over the cars.
Li Yang walked over to the lounge area, greeting everyone enthusiastically, while Ning Hao watched from the side.
This cheerful person was his idol; he dreamed of having a life like Li Yang’s.
Soon, after Li Yang chatted with several families, he approached Ning Hao.
He extended his hand and said: "Hello, thank you for becoming an Extreme Shadow Car owner."
Ning Hao, a bit flustered, wiped his hands and quickly stood up, bowing to shake Li Yang’s hand.
Look at Li Yang’s wording; he didn’t use congratulatory language like other brands that make it seem like buying their cars is your privilege.
With Li Yang, it’s "thank you for becoming an Extreme Shadow Car owner."
"Mr. Ning Hao, right? If you have any car-related issues in the future, feel free to contact our service center. I’ve noticed your feedback as well; you don’t have a driver’s license, but we can arrange for someone to deliver the car to your designated location. However... due to the high number of handovers today, our staff is somewhat short, so it may be a bit delayed. I’ll treat you to lunch, and after that, we’ll have people available."
"Alright, alright," he responded.
Ning Hao felt quite awkward, wanting to say something but swallowing all his words.
In truth, his legs were a bit shaky.
He simply responded to whatever Li Yang said.
Very soon, Ning Hao became the first customer to have his car handed over.
Li Yang personally opened the car door for Ning Hao, invited him to experience the car, and finally took a picture together with Jiang Banxia.
At the same time, Li Yang asked someone to film the process and promptly updated his Weibo.
"Thank Mr. Ning for being the very first owner of an Extreme Shadow Car!"
...
Seventy-six car owners in four hours, Li Yang personally handed over the cars, ushering each onto their vehicle, taking photos.
After finishing up, he felt a bit tired, but still treated Ning Hao to a meal. He realized that Ning Hao was a booster and had sniped him before; he never imagined such an absurd turn.
After the meal, he arranged for a service staff member to drive Ning Hao home, which was only fifty or sixty kilometers from Jiangbei.
Meanwhile, the video Li Yang uploaded was fermenting online.
"Holy... did I see that right? Li Yang personally opening the car door? What kind of godly treatment is this? Li Yang might not be as influential as Jiang Banxia, but he’s someone capable of spending billions—if he opened a car door for me once, I could brag about it forever!"
"That’s your kind of aspiration; I was there on site, and even Jiang Banxia was opening car doors afterwards."
"For real? Jiang Banxia, with her billion-dollar net worth, aiming to be the richest in the country this year, personally opening car doors?"
"There’s a video so how could it be fake? Go search for it. Damn, yesterday thirty thousand felt steep, but now suddenly it doesn’t seem like much."
"Ugh, pity I’m genuinely broke; if I had money, I’d surely order one. Never mind the car’s quality, Li Yang’s attitude leaves nothing to question; he speaks as if he’s reporting work to us, a crowd of onlookers. At his level, does he need to report work to us? Look at his choice of words, thanking customers for choosing Extreme Shadow Cars, not congratulating them—how humble!"
"Damn, the way you put it, it does seem like that... Whatever, I’m placing an order!"
As the event continued to ferment, many realized there were no more cars.
Although orders could still be placed, the progress showed 3586/1000.
This meant deliveries couldn’t happen before the new year.
"Wait, someone explain what’s going on here? Wasn’t it just eight hundred-something orders this morning? How did they suddenly grow to over three thousand? Is Extreme Shadow Cars manipulating data?"
"Haha, according to reports from those who’ve paid, after payment, the Extreme Shadow Cars app showed thirty-five thousand points, which can be exchanged for financial quotas in Wanliu Capital’s closed-end fund, one-to-one! And it doesn’t count against the fund’s original fifty-thousand limit."
"What the... insane?"
"I’m not sure if Li Yang’s crazy, but it’s evident the users are! Last year, everyone who bought Wanliu Capital’s fund made a fortune, at least doubling their investment. Unfortunately, the fund is no longer accepting subscriptions, so wouldn’t people jump at the chance for some shares?"
