Chapter 47: Chapter 44: One Yuan Flash Sale Coupon
From the SPA center, the time was already close to 11 o’clock.
For nearly three hours, the process was a bit twisty, but in the end, Zhou Wang managed to fulfill his earlier wish of achieving total relaxation.
Hmm, the SPA… The experience wasn’t bad…
Walking back to the hotel, Zhou Wang recalled the system prompt just now, and opened the system warehouse interface. Besides the “treasure map,” there was now a blinking “?” Grey Magic Ball.
He mentally touched it to open it, and the Grey Magic Ball disappeared, replaced by a card resembling a coupon.
[“Ferrari” One-Yuan Flash Sale Coupon: Once used, an online payment channel will open for a limited time. After the host completes the payment, they will receive Ferrari vehicle x1.]
...
[Due to the rarity of Ferrari vehicles, the specific model will be randomly generated in reality.]
[A car is a man’s second business card, which might slightly aid your social life.]
Zhou Wang froze in his tracks.
Ferrari… One-Yuan Flash Sale Coupon?
“Awesome.”
Zhou Wang could only mutter these words, even those advertisement platforms wouldn’t dare to make such claims!
What man doesn’t dream of owning a supercar?
Especially at Zhou Wang’s age, the allure of a Ferrari was bound to be much greater than that of luxury cars like Bentley.
Although the model would be random, Zhou Wang remembered that even the cheapest Ferrari model was nearly 3 million, making one yuan seem like getting it for free. This Grey Magic Ball was incredible!
Initially, because there was a more advanced Golden Magic Ball, Zhou Wang’s expectations for the Grey Magic Ball weren’t high. Now, he truly felt surprised.
Almost without hesitation, Zhou Wang decided to use the flash sale coupon.
[Online payment channel generated, limited to 15 minutes]
Upon hearing the system prompt, Zhou Wang was surprised by how tight the timing was. He hurriedly opened his phone, only to find a mysterious link on the home screen titled “Click Me.”
He quickly completed the payment through the link. Afterward, a progress bar appeared on the page, showing “Searching for Vehicle.”
Since it involved interaction with reality, Zhou Wang reckoned the process wouldn’t be fast. Although he had never bought a car before, he did know quite a bit about cars.
For a supercar like Ferrari, even going to one of the few 4S stores domestically, they didn’t have vehicles in stock. You typically had to order months in advance at the very least.
The car models we see online are just public templates, but in reality, Ferrari offers varying degrees of factory customization for the owner, which means even if the models are the same, there will be different details in each Ferrari sold.
Zhou Wang was really curious about where the system would find a ready Ferrari for him.
Just then, Zhou Wang’s phone rang; it was a call from Wang Qiaobin.
This was within Zhou Wang’s expectations as he temporarily exited the link and answered the call.
“Zhou Wang, why are you being so formal with me?”
Wang Qiaobin spoke in an annoyed tone, “This was your first time coming to my family’s store as a customer. I genuinely wanted to treat you well, but you didn’t have to recharge so much.”
“I’m not being polite, I genuinely think your service is good. Besides, this money isn’t a gift to you, I’ll definitely come back again,” Zhou Wang replied with a smile.
“Oh you… Okay, fine. Since you’re giving me so much face, I can’t not respond. I’ll top up your membership card to end with 8888 for good luck!”
“I can do that. I’ll take advantage of you a little,” Zhou Wang said.
“Alright, then next week, let me plan a gathering, and you must come out for a drink!”
Wang Qiaobin extended another invitation to Zhou Wang, but this time, from an ambiguous “someday” to a definite “next week.”
Zhou Wang agreed, and after chatting with Wang Qiaobin for a bit, he hung up the phone and returned to the suite.
Ding dong!
WeChat pinged, and Zhou Wang opened it to see a message from Su Yajing.
First came a “little girl bowing her head and twiddling her fingers” emoji, then an apology.
“Brother, sorry, sorry. I might not have time to accompany you tomorrow afternoon. My roommate found a part-time job and insists on me tagging along. I’ll come find you after I’m done, okay? I’ll treat you to dinner to make up for it!”
Zhou Wang paused but didn’t mind; he replied “Okay, we’ll talk then.”
He had indeed arranged to meet Su Yajing the next day because he previously promised to have a meal with her. They were supposed to have dinner, but Zhou Wang thought since he had a day off, they might as well look at some houses. If they found the right one, he’d buy the house for Jiang Mo.
Now that Su Yajing didn’t have time in the afternoon, Zhou Wang figured he might as well go house hunting by himself.
While he was thinking about it, the phone rang again. Zhou Wang saw it was from an unfamiliar number, and curiously answered it.
“Hello, is this Mr. Zhou Wang?”
“Yes.”
“Mr. Zhou, I deeply apologize for bothering you so late. My name is Fan Wei, and I am the organizer of the Ming City International Auto Expo. Could we have a chat?”
Zhou Wang listened to the introduction, initially confused, but he lit up when he heard the words “auto expo.”
Keeping the call active, he reopened the mysterious link. Sure enough, the page had changed.
“Transaction completed, please bring your ID to Ming City International Auto Expo to collect your vehicle.”
The system was efficient!
“Hello, Mr. Zhou, are you still there?”
Zhou Wang steadied himself and returned to the call.
“Yes, go ahead.”
“Here’s the thing, the Ferrari brand just notified us that you’ve purchased the Ferrari 812Competizione displayed at our exhibition, and the relevant procedures have already been completed…”
“Wait, which model did you say I bought?”
Zhou Wang’s breathing suddenly became heavy, interrupting the speaker.
“Uh… it’s the Ferrari 812Competizione.”
Although Fan Wei didn’t understand why Zhou Wang asked this, he repeated himself.
Holy shit!
It was actually a Ferrari 812Competizione!
“Hold on for a moment.”
Zhou Wang quickly said over the phone, then swiftly checked it with his mobile. Once he confirmed his memory was correct, Zhou Wang became excited.
The 812 was a classic Ferrari supercar that had been discontinued a couple of years ago, and the 812 Competizione was a limited edition released by Ferrari in 2023, a new model based on the 812S.
There was no need to scrutinize its specifications. Just looking at the price tag told you how awesome this supercar was.
The standard 812’s official guide price was about 5 million, while the 812Competizione was around 7.5 million!
Adding on over a million in options and other costs, the total could easily exceed 10 million.
In other words… this was truly a ten-million-yuan supercar!
