After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 37: Lamborghini Urus

"Wake up and come to the gym with me."

At eight in the morning, Lu Liang woke up naturally. Since his days and nights had been mixed up lately, he'd also been neglecting his workouts.

"Is it so early? Can we not go?" Li Manli pulled the blanket over her head and responded in a muffled voice from under the covers.

Suddenly she stretched out a beautiful leg and waved it up and down, "Look at a body like mine, so perfect. Why do I need to work out?"

"If you get fat, I won't want you anymore," Lu Liang slapped her thigh, genuinely a bit envious.

The biggest difference between youth and age is in the metabolism.

Li Manli eats no less than him every day, and she especially loves to eat sweets and snacks. Yet, she never gains weight.

"Ouch~ that really hurts, I'm going to fight you."

Li Manli inhaled sharply from the pain, flung off the blanket—never minding the risk of exposing herself—and lunged toward Lu Liang with bared teeth and claws.

Lu Liang bent down and dodged, heading to the washroom, "Hurry up, I'm only waiting for you for ten minutes."

By 8:30, the two of them arrived at the neighborhood fitness center.

Li Manli's reluctance

lasted only for the few minutes after waking up.

When she saw Lu Liang sweating it out on the treadmill, she started jogging alongside him.

Unlike the women at different gyms, who needed tight yoga pants to shape up,

Li Manli, even in sport shorts and a tank top, looked no less fit than anyone.

Her calves, thighs, and buttocks were as firm and upright as her business line, even a bit pinkish.

Sometimes, Lu Liang wondered if she secretly applied talcum powder, for how could it be so pink and tender otherwise.

In front of the treadmill was a tablet for people to keep up with the day's news while exercising.

The financial sections these past few days had been dominated by news of soaring gold prices, with a total increase of 162 points over three days.

Gold prices rose by an average of 5.21 US Dollars per gram, and domestic gold prices surged even higher than international rates, breaking through to 320 RMB per gram.

That was 11 RMB higher per gram compared to the international gold prices, largely thanks to the 'battling power' of the aunties, and the current stock market crisis.

At 9:30 this morning, the A-share market opened. The index fell for the third consecutive day, now at 4350 points, with a three-day drop exceeding 800 points, evaporating 820 billion from the market in total.

Sadness spread throughout the market, with news reports widespread of bosses and financial officers fleeing the scene.

It's fortunate it's the A-share market, which, despite over twenty years of growth, is still in its youth. If it were the Hang Seng, Nikkei, or Dow Jones, with this rate of decline, there would've been crowds on the rooftops.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Liang went back home.

After breakfast, he headed to the study and opened his London Gold account, withdrawing all 21.5934 million US Dollars.

If at today's exchange rate of 6.36, it would be almost 137 million RMB.

This big market move netted him 20.5934 million US Dollars.

"Turning ten thousand into a billion is still tough," Lu Liang sighed. He meticulously reviewed the past few days of trading; being unfamiliar had led to many flaws.

Given another chance, he felt confident he could multiply the returns several times over.

Stepping out of the study, Lu Liang went to the company. It was Friday, and Mahua's Zhang Chen was due to come and sign the contract, as agreed last week.

"Liang, Xiaoqi invited me out to play today," Li Manli suddenly said.

After posting on her social media last night, Zhou Xiaoqi invited her to go shopping today. It felt a bit strange, but she couldn't quite pinpoint why.

Lu Liang smiled and patted Li Manli's head, "It means she likes you. What's so strange about that?"

"Really?" Li Manli was skeptical but added, "Also, I want to get a driver's license."

"Go for it. If you're short on cash, just let me know."

Leaving the neighborhood, crossing Pujiang, and passing by the convention center,

Lu Liang suddenly turned and drove into the convention center's parking lot.

He saw there was a car show today and remembered that the Bentley he was driving was rented.

Before, his capital wasn't sufficient, so he could only rent. Now that he had money, it was time to buy his own car.

Lu Liang spent 3800 RMB on a ticket to the luxury exhibition hall, and the organizers also provided a personal shopping guide.

"Mr. Lu, hello, my name is Li Yue. You can call me Little Li."

Li Yue beamed with a smile as she explained that the car show was divided into three categories of halls: luxury, comfort, and economy.

The 3800 RMB ticket allowed entry to all types of exhibition halls, and Lu Liang could visit any hall to browse and shop.

"What brands are housed in the luxury exhibition hall right now?"

Lu Liang was escorted to the VIP lounge of the car show, presented with coffee and an assortment of exquisite Western desserts.

Li Yue's smile grew even brighter, "We have Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Porsche, Bentley, and eighteen other luxury car brands. Mr. Lu, are you interested in sports cars, sedans, or SUVs?"

"Let's skip sports cars, I've driven sedans enough to get tired of them. What about the SUVs?" Lu Liang inquired.

"Do you prefer an off-road vehicle with a more rugged look, or a sleeker one? For rugged off-road vehicles, we have the Mercedes G, AMG, and the Range Rover series, whereas for sleeker off-road vehicles, there are more options to choose from, such as the Porsche Cayenne, Maserati Levante, Lamborghini Urus, and so on."

Li Yue stood to one side, bowing and bending over to introduce the advantages of each car, her imposing, almost bursting business line nearly touching Lu Liang's cheeks.

"Let's go take a look first." Lu Liang thought of a joke—in each sale of a Porsche, one less beautiful saleswoman remained.

It seems that Miss Li,

is also a girl very eager to get ahead.

Lu Liang followed her to the deepest part of the luxury car exhibition hall.

The number of visitors in this hall had clearly decreased, but the quality of the car models was very high, each one with long legs over one meter seventy.

Lu Liang test-drove the Mercedes G series, Range Rover, Porsche Cayenne, Maserati, and Lamborghini in succession.

The G series and Range Rover were too rugged—both in appearance and in interior design, all boxy—He didn't like it.

After making a round, Lu Liang asked, "Between the Levante and Urus, which one can I take delivery of right now?"

Li Yue was taken aback before delight danced upon her brows, "Mr. Lu, please wait a moment, let me ask my superiors."

A few minutes later, she came back and said, "The exhibition is ending soon, Mr. Lu, you can take delivery of either one."

"Then let's go with that yellow Urus." Lu Liang compared the two cars and ultimately chose the Lamborghini.

The yellow Lamborghini is very classic, and besides, the Urus is also Lamborghini's first super SUV model.

Though it's a sleek off-road vehicle, its body lines are smooth, muscular, and its aggressive visual appeal is no less than that of a rugged off-road vehicle.

"Mr. Lu, let me then discuss the price discount scheme with you," Li Yue enthused.

"It's a display vehicle—I don't want any freebies. Just think it over and give me your price," Lu Liang replied.

Although Lu Liang was wealthy, he wasn't a fool.

Display vehicles were at least 20% cheaper than new ones; luxury display vehicles might see smaller reductions, but at least there was around 10% off.

The retail price of a Lamborghini Urus was 2.98 million RMB, with purchase tax at roughly 10% of the vehicle's price.

With license fees, insurance, and household registration fees all added up, the new car's on-the-road price would be about 3.35 million RMB.

After deducting 10% for a display vehicle's attributes, Lu Liang's target price was around 3.05 million RMB.

Li Yue smiled stiffly, bowing deeply. "Mr. Lu, please wait, let me consult with the leadership again to try and get you the highest discount."

"Mhm, go ahead," Lu Liang nodded.

After a while, Li Yue returned, very excited. "Mr. Lu, I've negotiated a very substantial discount for you—3.15 million RMB. How do you feel about that?"

"Give yourself another chance to quote a price."

Lu Liang spoke calmly; he hadn't always been just a customer.

It was highly likely that Li Yue hadn't even asked her superiors just now, possibly just taking a bathroom break.

Just like when he sold houses,

the listed price was 3.5 million, and the average transaction price was 3.3 million.

The higher the price above the average transaction price, the greater the commission.

"Mr. Lu, please wait a little longer."

Li Yue looked hesitant; this time, she was gone longer than before.

When she came back, wiping nonexistent sweat from her forehead: "Mr. Lu, I believe this price will satisfy you—3.0888 million RMB, triple eights signify 'wealth.'

Lu Liang's lips curled into a smile. "Throw in a full vehicle tint, a complete cleaning, and a set of factory floor mats as well."

Li Yue's eyes widened, slightly stunned. "Mr. Lu, didn't you say you didn't want any gifts?"

Lu Liang said, "It's a display vehicle that has been handled daily. Isn't it necessary to tint the windows, clean, and replace the floor mats?"

"...Let's do as you say," Li Yue acquiesced, feeling a bit aggrieved.

She wanted to say that the auto show had gone on for 13 days and that only a little over 900 visitors had entered the luxury hall.

There were 125 high-end luxury cars in the hall, which, when broken down, meant each car was handled by roughly 7.36 visitors.

They weren't really dirty.

But she dared not say it.

Approaching noon,

Lu Liang signed the contract, paying the full amount of 3.0888 million RMB.

He didn't have time to wait here for the vehicle's registration, transfer, and window tinting.

"Have everything ready and drive it over."

Lu Liang left a copy of his ID and an address, then left the convention center and headed for Yongfeng Building.

He thought he would be thrilled, considering it was the first car of his life, but it felt as though he was just out to buy groceries.

"Even though I've gotten richer, I've also lost troubles."

He couldn't help but sigh.
