"Old Lin, now that you’re with Su Ruoxi."
"What’s your plan now?"
Yang Qinian silently took a sip of his drink and asked quietly.
"What’s my plan?"
Lin Feng paused in thought, then looked down at Su Ruoxi beside him and said, "That, of course, is up to my girlfriend."
"Ruoxi, what do you want to do?"
’Su Ruoxi’s family is short on liquid capital.’
’But a real estate business shouldn’t be lacking in liquid capital.’
’It’s very likely her dad’s company was targeted by someone, which is why the banks are holding back funds.’
Lin Feng knew a thing or two about the real estate business model.
The average real estate company might look like it has assets in the tens of billions.
But in reality, it’s just an empty shell. Companies with debt ratios over seventy percent are everywhere, and it could even be higher.
However, banks usually don’t block loans to real estate companies.
Because these types of loans are typically secured with land as collateral.
But Su Ruoxi just shook her head upon hearing this.
"They have nothing to do with me."
"From the moment my mom found out my dad was cheating, I’ve had nothing to do with that family."
"And my mother’s death..."
Su Ruoxi seemed to have touched upon a painful memory, her head slightly lowered.
’Hearing this, how could Lin Feng not understand?’
’There were probably a lot of other things he didn’t know.’
But Su Ruoxi was in a bad mood right now, and Lin Feng had no intention of prying.
Since Su Ruoxi had already said as much...
Lin Feng certainly wasn’t going to rush in and help solve those problems.
Even if Lin Feng did step in to help one day...
...it would only be because Su Ruoxi wanted him to.
Besides, the system had indicated that even if Su Ruoxi’s father’s company were to go bankrupt, it wouldn’t happen until the end of the year.
"Anyway, let’s not talk about this for now."
Lin Feng changed the subject. "Brother Nian, do you have any recommendations for a car that costs around three million, all-in?"
As for that 90% off property voucher, Lin Feng had decided to buy a storefront in Xiang City for his parents.
Yang Qinian couldn’t help much with that.
But when it came to cars, asking Yang Qinian was very useful.
Although Yang Qinian’s monthly allowance was only twenty thousand, at the end of the day, he was a bona fide rich kid.
He still had the necessary taste and knowledge.
"A three-million car?"
"Old Lin, you’re buying a car?"
"Holy crap, what kind of family do you come from? Just casually buying a three-million car?"
Yang Qinian was genuinely stunned.
It wasn’t just Yang Qinian.
Yang Qingqing and Su Ruoxi were just as surprised.
They had previously thought it was outrageous enough that Lin Feng could afford a Patek Philippe.
Only later did they discover that the money for the Patek Philippe was just Lin Feng’s spending money.
No, wait, it was money Lin Feng had earned himself from the stock market.
And some time after buying the Patek Philippe, Lin Feng’s bank balance had reached eight hundred thousand!
And now he was talking about buying a three-million car?
’What kind of family is this?!’
’Why are we both rich kids, but the gap is so huge?’
Especially when he saw Su Ruoxi in Lin Feng’s arms.
Yang Qinian felt even more aggrieved.
’The guy has no shortage of money or girls, and he’s damn capable on top of that.’
’Why do I seem like such a good-for-nothing compared to Lin Feng?’
’I’m a disgrace to the rich kids of Yang City.’
But despite his frustration...
...since Lin Feng had asked, he definitely had to give a proper answer.
"Old Lin, do you have a specific type of car in mind?"
"Like, is there a particular model you really want to buy, a sports car or something?"
Lin Feng thought for a moment, not sure how to answer.
He hadn’t really considered it before. He only had one goal: not to settle for a BMW, Benz, or Audi.
"If you’re thinking of a sports car, I wouldn’t recommend it."
"No, that’s not right. It’s not that I don’t recommend sports cars, I don’t recommend a *three-million* sports car."
"Sports cars under ten million are all watered-down versions."
"They’re still badass to drive around, but you’re mostly just paying for the engine sound."
"If it’s for you to drive yourself, Brother Xiaolin, I’d recommend a luxury SUV."
"If you like sports cars, I’d suggest a sports coupe, like the Mercedes G-Wagen, or maybe an Audi R8 or BMW M8?"
Listening to Yang Qinian speak so eloquently, Lin Feng was rather impressed.
’He doesn’t even have the money to buy one himself, yet he knows so much.’
’But something felt a little off.’
’How did we circle all the way back to BMW, Benz, and Audi?’
Okay.
Lin Feng had to admit.
In truth, BMW, Benz, and Audi didn’t only make cars in the three to four hundred thousand range.
In the luxury car segment above one million, these three brands were also contenders.
To be able to build such a huge market in the Celestial Dynasty...
...wasn’t without reason.
But it was still a bit early to talk about this.
Even if Lin Feng were to buy a car, he would have to wait until after he got back from the National Day holiday and buy it in Yang City.
That way, he wouldn’t give his parents a heart attack by driving it home.
"Never mind. When’s the next auto show in Yang City?"
"Let’s go check it out after we get back from the holiday."
Lin Feng said with a slight frown.
’Picking a car just by talking about it was completely unrealistic.’
’You’d never know what you really want without test-driving it yourself.’
"That’s true. I’ll keep an eye out for you. I’ll let you know if I hear anything."
Yang Qinian nodded, a hint of excitement on his face.
’Even though he wasn’t the one buying the car, if Lin Feng bought one, he’d get to ride in it.’
’The effect is the same, right?’
"By the way, Brother Feng, your family is really generous."
"You just started college and they’re already getting you a three-million car?"
Yang Qingqing asked, puzzled.
A three-million car wasn’t a three-hundred-yuan toy you could buy whenever you felt like it.
Even if Yang Tianming were to buy one for Yang Qinian, he would have to consider it carefully from all angles.
Otherwise, Yang Tianming wouldn’t still be restricting Yang Qinian’s finances even though he was already in college.
"Actually, it’s not all from my family."
Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "I’ve worked hard and earned a bit of money recently, and my family is chipping in for part of it."
"Your family’s chipping in for part of it? How much."
Hearing this, Yang Qinian’s interest was suddenly piqued.
"Not much, just two million seven hundred thousand. I’m paying for a tenth, and my family’s covering the rest."
Lin Feng suddenly started laughing.
’For some reason, it felt a little awkward saying that.’
"Holy crap!"
"Give me a break, Old Lin."
"That’s what you call ’chipping in’?"
Yang Qinian looked utterly defeated.
’But on second thought, it didn’t seem wrong.’
He had seen Lin Feng’s account balance before.
A balance of over eight hundred thousand.
’In other words, Lin Feng’s family asking him to chip in was just a symbolic gesture?’
If you really thought about it that way...
...at the rate Lin Feng was earning money, it was only a matter of time before he could afford a three-million car on his own.
He had to respect the abilities of certain people.
At this moment, at least, Yang Qinian was thoroughly impressed by Lin Feng.
"Brother Feng, please let me ride your coattails."
Yang Qinian suddenly let out a long sigh.
"I really can’t go on living on twenty thousand a month."
It would have been fine in the past.
But the problem was, now Yang Qinian was hanging out with Lin Feng every day.
He was constantly being shown up by Lin Feng.
Take today, for example. Lin Feng spent over a hundred thousand just on shopping!
Now he was planning to buy a three-million car.
’And look at me... so pathetic.’
No, wait. Yang Qinian suddenly remembered that he wasn’t so pathetic after all.
Because this afternoon...
...Yang Qingqing, for some reason, had a sudden pang of conscience and gave him a bank card with nearly a million yuan in it.
It instantly lifted Yang Qinian from a commoner to the ranks of the well-off.
So even now, Yang Qinian still had a sense of unreality, still thinking of himself as that same old broke joke.
