Chapter 715 Carpet Exhibition
The filming of "Suri Show" is still going on.
Considering the influence of this reality show, I believe that the news about the Brilliance supercar will soon spread all over the Internet. There is no need to prepare a formal press conference. Just go to a car show to show your face. There is no need to increase the marketing budget.
This black and gold pure electric supercar with a red waistline is a private car customized by the company for Suri. The number "NO·001" is also written on the rear of the car.
The cool shape, matched with metallic paint, when it drives on the street, the rate of turning heads is extremely high.
As for the hybrid version, the Brilliance supercar equipped with a V12 engine has basically been developed. Suri also customized a new car with green and black color, which will be sent to the mainland for exhibition and then kept for her own use.
After the test drive on the internal road.
Suri took Secretary Amanda and drove the new car to the bustling Rodeo Drive.
Many passers-by came to watch and take pictures. Looking through the window glass, they could find that the interior of this glorious supercar was modern and technological, unlike the simple center console of other traditional supercars.
Know in advance how fast the technology will change in the next ten years.
So Suri arranged engineers from the beginning to leave room for upgrading and improving this car, so that it can be replaced with a clearer LCD screen, a smarter cockpit, a more efficient power battery, etc. in the future.
This kind of "automobile modularization" design concept and production method will also be used in other mass-produced sedans and SUV coupes under S Electric Vehicle Company.
Decomposing the car into several independent and interchangeable modules can dispel people's concerns about the "short service life of pure electric vehicles". At the same time, it can save human resources, shorten the manufacturing cycle, reduce production costs, lower product prices and improve market competitiveness.
The reason for driving to Rodeo Drive is that Ashton and his wife Britney want to renovate their living room and hope that Suri can help provide some reference suggestions.
There happened to be a carpet exhibition recently, which was arranged in a two-story building at 468 North Rodeo Drive.
To be honest.
Suri has never been sure why Americans like carpets so much, and almost every household has one.
When the crew of "Suri Show" followed them to the somewhat deserted carpet exhibition site, they could see carpets with different patterns hanging on the walls around, with signs indicating the prices next to them. After looking at many carpets in succession, none of them were less than 50,000 US dollars.
The seller who held this carpet exhibition hurried over after hearing the news.
He passed Ashton and Britney Spears directly, and stretched out his hand to Suri from a distance, laughing and saying enthusiastically:
"It's such an honor. I never dreamed that the world's richest man like you would also pay attention to my company's carpets. This is simply the most glorious moment in my career, more memorable than laying carpets at the home of boxing champion Tyson. Can I take a photo with you as a souvenir?"
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Suri is no exception. She pointed to the camera and said with a smile:
"I'm filming a reality show, which is better than taking a photo. In fact, I came here with a friend to buy carpets today. But their quality looks pretty good. Can I customize it? "
The carpet salesman, who is over 50 years old, noticed the camera crew next to him. His smile became more enthusiastic and he said readily:
"Of course, no problem. Even for the most famous Persian Krak sickle leaf carpet, I have top-level purchasing channels. Do you have a favorite pattern and color?"
Suri thought for a while and replied:
"Traditional patterns don't match the style of my home. I want to customize a cartoon version of the carpet. I will send you the pattern and size when the time comes."
The Ashton couple was ignored again.
This is the norm when they get along with Suri. Even as a first-line star, they will be completely shrouded in Suri's light.
Reaching out and touching a blue carpet with fancy patterns, Ashton asked curiously:
"How long does it take to weave a wool carpet like this? The Four Seasons Hotel has many high-end guest rooms. If you are willing to give me a discount, then Su Rui may choose to purchase a batch of carpets from you. This is a big business."
"???"
Suddenly feeling like being shot, Su Rui said with emotion:
"Their prices are already works of art, and they are just fine to be hung on the walls of the hotel for people to appreciate. Very few hotel residents don't care much about the furnishings in the room, and things like carpets need to be cleaned and replaced regularly."
Strike while the iron is hot.
The carpet seller who held the exhibition immediately said:
"They can be used in luxury suites. I also have some carpets with high cost performance. Many hotels are my customers. Of course, it's okay to give a discount, but like this carpet, it takes a skilled carpet weaver half a year to weave it by hand. The purchase price is very high, and now it is a promotional discount."
Because I am recording a reality show.
Su Rui, who usually never intervened in such trivial matters, agreed to let the carpet merchant in front of him become one of the suppliers of the Four Seasons Hotel.
As for whether the order can be negotiated, it depends on the quality and price of the goods.
By the way, he also spent 67,000 US dollars to buy a modern lake blue silk carpet, intending to lay it under the desk in his own study.
It is true that Suri began to lose interest in money, but every minute and every second of his comfortable life required a huge amount of money. For example, the bodyguards who followed him all year round had a total annual expenditure of up to millions of dollars, and the cost of maintaining and using the Airbus A380 private jet was even higher.
He continued to accompany Ashton and his wife to purchase household items. During this period, he also took a fancy to a bathtub, which was made of huge crystals from the Amazon jungle and sold for as much as $719,999.
Suri himself was not interested, but he wanted to install several such bathtubs in the Four Seasons Hotel in the Shanghai Center Building.
Such modern art natural crystal bathtubs, which are ridiculously expensive but useless, can easily create some gimmicks and enhance the overall image of the hotel.
After communicating with the director of the program group, Suri learned that he had enough content for two episodes. He ate a pizza for lunch and then drove the Tejas back home.
With the shape of the Tejas supercar, it is not inferior to the Ferrari Enzo, Aston Martin One77, and Bugatti Veyron. It is indeed a good car.
After taking a nap upstairs, Su Rui suddenly thought of Jiang Jiaya.
This former assistant, who had not been in touch with him for some time, is currently filming "The Wandering Earth" in Shanghai, with locations including Houston, New York, London, Hong Kong, etc.
The studio was arranged in Shanghai because it is more cost-effective. Unlike the "Americans saving the world" in traditional Hollywood movies, this movie emphasizes international cooperation (end of this chapter)
