The Ferrari LaFerrari!Alongside the McLaren P1 and Porsche 918, it's one of the three legendary hypercars.Limited to just 499 units worldwide, with a starting price of 22.5 million RMB.Add customization options, luxury car tax, import duties...The total price can easily reach fifty million.A half-hundred-million-level supercar.
In his previous life, Cai Kun could only catch glimpses of it in the news.But this time, he had enough capital.Of course, he was going to add this half-hundred-million "toy" to his collection.
Although online comments made it sound like everyone had a Ferrari,in reality, the number of Ferraris sold each year in China was scarce—all models combined wouldn't exceed two hundred.And the LaFerrari? Even fewer.
It only began selling in 2014, and in the past few years, fewer than thirty have been sold in total.
No need to worry about it being sold out or unavailable.
"La... LaFerrari?" Xiao Huahua hesitated, clearly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Is there a problem?"Cai Kun asked.
"Mr. Cai, the LaFerrari is a limited edition model, and purchasing it comes with conditions."Xiao Huahua explained carefully.
"I know it requires proof of assets of fifty million and a clean driving record, right?"Cai Kun looked at her, recalling what he had seen in the news before.
"That's correct,"Xiao Huahua nodded, then added, "But there's a little more to it than you know."
"To buy a LaFerrari, you need to be an existing Ferrari client who owns at least two limited edition Ferraris or five flagship models.Only then can you place an order by showing proof of assets of twenty-five million."
Cai Kun frowned, "There's such a rule too?"
"Yes, sir. LaFerrari was created to reward loyal Ferrari customers.Since it's your first time here, it's understandable you didn't know."Xiao Huahua smiled, doing her best to avoid making him uncomfortable.
Still, Cai Kun couldn't help but feel a bit speechless. He almost wanted to write "newbie" on his forehead.
Even as a top-tier second-generation rich kid, with his parents' wealth and his own upbringing and broadening horizons—after all, he had climbed there step by step by himself.But he had only just been reborn a day ago.How could he have so much knowledge?
He never saw those requirements in the news before.Those marketing accounts really mislead people!
"Looks like I don't know enough,"Cai Kun replied lightly.
He wasn't embarrassed at all.His past self might have been shy, but now, with the ability to buy a LaFerrari—and even ten of them if he wanted—he wasn't sensitive about it.
"That's fine. Once you become one of our Ferrari clients, you'll naturally know all this."Xiao Huahua smiled brightly and winked at Cai Kun, "Would you like to consider some of our other Ferrari models? They're pretty good too."
Her casual gesture exuded an irresistible charm,making the young and hot-blooded Cai Kun's pulse race—she was born to mesmerize!No wonder she was a viral sensation on Douyin.
"If I want to buy a LaFerrari, are there any other ways besides these conditions?"Cai Kun changed the subject.
Though the other Ferraris were nice, he didn't want to settle.
If there was no other way, he'd have to buy five Ferraris at once first, then order the LaFerrari.A bit troublesome and not worth the effort.
"Well…"Xiao Huahua thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you really planning to order a LaFerrari?"
Honestly, when Cai Kun mentioned that, she lost hope for the sale.He was just too young.
There might still be a chance for regular Ferraris,but for a 25+ million LaFerrari?Even among the wealthy second-gen crowd in Shanghai, few could afford it.
"Of course."Cai Kun didn't hesitate.
"Your proof of assets should be no problem, right?"Xiao Huahua cautiously asked.
"Don't worry, the money for one LaFerrari is nothing to me."Cai Kun smiled calmly, unfazed.
Xiao Huahua looked at him, sensing his confidence was genuine.
"Please wait a moment. I'll check with our supervisor.I can't guarantee anything, but I'll ask."
She turned and left the customization room.
Clearly, this wasn't something a newcomer like her, with less than a month on the job, could handle.
Soon after, Xiao Huahua came back with a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
He smiled and stepped forward to shake Cai Kun's hand:"Hello Mr. Cai, I'm the store supervisor, Luo Ming."
After shaking hands, Luo Ming glanced at Xiao Huahua and said to Cai Kun,"I heard from Xiao Lan that you want to order a LaFerrari but don't meet the requirements, is that correct?"
Cai Kun nodded.
Luo Ming continued,"Before purchasing, we'll need to verify your assets.It's not distrust, just a standard procedure."
Cai Kun raised an eyebrow, feeling hopeful.If it wasn't possible to close the deal, Luo Ming wouldn't bother so much or insist on verifying assets.
Clearly, Luo Ming had a way to help him bypass the usual rules!
"Just as I thought..."Cai Kun chuckled lightly."The rules are just for ordinary people.The really rich don't need to follow so many rules. My rules are the real rules!"
"Understood."Cai Kun said calmly, "All for work, of course."
"We're honored you understand."Luo Ming bowed slightly."Please provide a professional report proving your assets."
"No need for that."Cai Kun took out his phone and opened the招商 (China Merchants Bank) app in front of them.He tapped the total assets section, passed verification, and revealed his balance.
He casually handed his phone to Luo Ming.
Luo Ming took the phone and looked.Used to wealthy clients, his eye twitched, and his hand trembled slightly—almost dropping the phone.It was just a phone, but felt like it weighed a ton!
He struggled to hold it steady.
Xiao Huahua peeked over, pupils dilated, holding her breath.
So many digits—ones, tens, hundreds... husband, father, grandfather, ancestor!
Cai Kun collected their expressions in his eyes, smiling with amusement.
"Now... can we talk about how to order the LaFerrari?"
