Chapter 347 Concept Car? Can't Sell?
Before Gao Yang knew it, he had walked into the Mercedes-Benz exhibition hall, and the car he was pointing at was exactly the same as the six-wheeled pickup truck he had seen in South Sudan not long ago.
Gao Yang had long planned to buy a car for transportation, but he wanted to buy it himself instead of asking Morgan to pay for it. However, after discovering the Mercedes-Benz pickup truck, Gao Yang suddenly became interested.
Large-displacement luxury pickup trucks are very attractive to Americans, and more people gather around that six-wheel pickup truck than other vehicles.
Walking to the car, Morgan just looked at it twice and immediately said: "Gao, do you like this car?"
Gao Yang didn't want to buy that pickup truck, he was just purely curious and wanted to know what model the pickup truck was, so Gao Yang shook his head and said: "No, I don't like it, I just drove this car not long ago. So I was just a little curious, but honestly, the car lifts pretty well.”
As soon as Gao Yang finished speaking, and before Morgan could speak, a middle-aged man who was standing in front of Gao Yang taking pictures of the pickup truck turned around, looked at Gao Yang up and down, and then looked at Yelena who Gao Yang was holding. After that, he chuckled and said: "Man, I understand your thoughts, but you have to distinguish the occasion when you are bragging. This car has not been launched yet. This is a concept car of Mercedes-Benz. It is still in the confidentiality stage. There are only two prototypes in total. That’s it, we have to wait until next year at the earliest to be launched on the market, and the annual production is only 20 to 30 units at most.”
Gao Yang smiled, but didn't refute. He just let it slip. Now he can't say that he killed a few rich Arabs and then robbed a car and drove it.
Gao Yang smiled faintly. Said: "If you know. Can you tell me the name of this car? I mean what is the specific model of this car."
The reporter spread his hands and said: "Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6x6. That's what this car has to be called."
Gao Yang didn't speak, but Morgan, who was standing next to Gao Yang, said calmly: "Do you know much about this car?"
The middle-aged man shrugged and said: "Of course, I am a reporter for a car magazine. I make a living from this. Of course, I have to understand this ultra-luxury pickup truck that has attracted much attention. In fact, this car is not a pickup truck. It is just a pickup truck. A super luxury off-road vehicle with an open trunk.”
Morgan looked interested. Said: "Keep talking."
The middle-aged man seemed to like showing off, and said with a smug look on his face: "There are too many things to say. This car uses a 5.5-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, a 7-speed manual automatic transmission, and can accelerate from a standstill. It takes less than six seconds to reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, with a ground clearance of 460 mm and an approach angle of 52 degrees.
With a departure angle of 54 degrees and a body weight of over 3.7 tons, this car is an out-and-out off-road beast. As amazing as the car's size is its price, which is expected to be over half a million dollars. "
Hear the price. Gao Yang couldn't help but shook his head. Five hundred thousand US dollars, converted into RMB, is more than three million. Of course, if it is imported to China and then bought, this car may only cost four to five million. It is so expensive. Gao Yang felt that the car was completely unnecessary, but Morgan seemed very satisfied. He snapped his fingers and said to Gao Yang calmly: "This car sounds very powerful. I think it suits you very well."
Gao Yang shook his head and said: "No, I don't think so. This car is completely unnecessary for me."
Morgan smiled and said: "The gift you gave me is unique, and the gift I want to give you must also be unique. Well, the car cannot be unique, so the less the better, even if it is one year after mass production There are only twenty or thirty cars, and only a car like this is worthy of you."
Before Gao Yang could refuse, Morgan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Stop talking, this is just a gift in return."
At this time, the middle-aged man who looked like a reporter smiled again and said: "Gentlemen, this car is the highlight of Mercedes-Benz's year. How can they sell it? Maybe you are talking about buying it next year?"
After Morgan glanced at the reporter with a half-smile, he waved to the assistant who was following him two or three meters away, and then said in a deep voice: "Go and call the person in charge of the booth here."
After giving an understatement, Morgan's personal assistant left immediately, while Morgan rubbed his chin and looked at the concept car, which was said to be only two in the world.
Morgan's assistant quickly came over with a middle-aged man in a suit. After the middle-aged man in a suit shook hands with Morgan, before the middle-aged man in a suit could speak, Morgan immediately said: "You OK, I want to buy this car.”
The middle-aged man in a suit said with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, sir, this is our concept car. We can't sell it. If you are interested in this car, you can reserve it in advance and wait for this model to be mass-produced." , we will deliver the car to you as soon as possible.”
Morgan also smiled and said: "Sorry, sir, I think you didn't understand the situation. I just informed you that I want to buy this car, rather than asking for your opinion. I think you can give it to someone who can take charge of this matter." Just make a call and quote me a price.”
After finishing speaking, Morgan's personal assistant immediately handed over a business card. After the person in charge at the booth received it, Morgan's assistant made a phone call gesture and said: "Go to a quiet place and call Call the responsible person and just sign up with the name on the card. Remember to return the business card to me."
The person in charge of the booth didn't even have a chance to introduce himself. After looking at Morgan again, he hurried in with his business card.
Less than five minutes later, the person in charge of the booth hurried back. This time when he saw Morgan, he stretched out his hand from afar and said with a smile on his face: "Sir, thank you for coming. , please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Spike, and I am the person in charge of this New York Auto Show."
Morgan nodded, shook hands with Spike again, and said softly: "Mr. Spike, can I buy this car now?"
Spike nodded repeatedly and said enthusiastically: "Of course, of course, the only problem is that you can't pick up the car until after the auto show. You know, this is our only prototype car. If you agree, we can wait until the auto show is over." , we will deliver the car to your designated location.”
Morgan looked at Gao Yang and said, "Gao, please accept my gift, so where do you want to send the car?"
At this point, Gao Yang couldn't refuse anymore. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said: "It's better to send it to my farm. This car is not suitable for driving in the city, and I don't want to drive it to my farm." ,Too far."
Morgan shrugged and said: "Perhaps you can send it to Portland first, and then you drive from Portland to your farm, so that you can enjoy the driving pleasure without being too tired."
Because Arilan Mohsen's studio is in Portland, and one of Gao Yang's main purposes in coming to the United States is to come here to get a gun tailor-made for him. Gao Yang will definitely go to Portland, so he happily accepted Morgan's offer. Suggestion: "Very good, then send it to Portland, but this will trouble you again."
Morgan laughed, turned to look at Spike and said, "Very good, how much is it?"
Spike said with embarrassment: "Sir, this is the case. This car has not yet been priced, so now our prototype car cannot be sold at a low price. Therefore, our price is $600,000, but , we’ll give you one of our products, any model under $100,000, and you can drive away today.”
Morgan laughed and said to Gao Yang: "Buy one, get one free. This deal is a good deal. Now you have to go and see what gifts you want."
Already owning a monster off-road vehicle, Gao Yang didn't want another off-road vehicle. He thought a sedan or sports car would be more suitable. Originally, if Gao Yang wanted to buy a sedan or sports car, he would choose a different brand instead of a Mercedes-Benz. , after all, it is no longer the era when luxury cars are Mercedes-Benz and BMW, but since it comes with a bonus, it is natural not to give it up for free.
Gao Yang didn't know what car model to choose to keep the price below one hundred thousand dollars without suffering too much loss, but now he had someone who knew how to do it.
Gao Yang smiled and looked at the reporter who was standing aside looking at Morgan with a dull face and said: "Hey, man, you heard our conversation, so can you tell me, if I choose a coupe, which one should I choose?" What car is it?"
The reporter woke up as if from a dream, and then said urgently: "A coupe under one hundred thousand dollars, of course, a high-performance clsamg, priced at ninety-five thousand dollars, there is nothing more suitable than this."
Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, I will seriously consider it."
The reporter said in a daze: "You guys, how did you do it? How did you buy this car?"
Gao Yang smiled slightly and did not answer the reporter's question. Morgan took out a checkbook, wrote a number and handed it to Spike. After Spike took the check, he said with a smile: "This G63 AMG The 6x6 already belongs to you, and someone will come to help you register it later. Now, don’t you want to check your car first?”
Although the g63 mag 6x6 was on display, it was not fully open to people. A fence was used to separate the visitors from the car. This meant that reporters and spectators could only take a look at the appearance, but not enter the interior of the car. When visiting, of course no one will open or close the car door.
The car was already his. Gao Yang took Yelena's hand and said, "Let's go and take a look at our car."
After Spike opened the driver's door of the car for Gao Yang, he pointed at the instruments on the driver's seat and said: "This car contains all our advanced technologies in off-road vehicles. Please allow me to introduce them to you one by one. First, please look at the switch on the left side of your head. This is the fuel tank switch. This car has two fuel tanks. You can switch between the two fuel tanks to choose which fuel tank to use. Also, please look at..."
Gao Yang interrupted Spark's words and said in shock: "Wait, wait, you mean there are two fuel tanks in this car?" (To be continued...)
