Its very presence gave off a sense of weight and substance.
Yet the perfectly sculpted bulge on the hood and the sleek, rounded lines of its profile also created a sense of motion.
The visual impact was imnse.
It was sothing the flat images on car websites simply couldn’t convey.
Compared to its siblings, the Gust and the Phantom, the Cullinan lacked such an overtly corporate feel.
Its overall design was low-key and restrained, yet it exuded a powerful, dignified, and elegant aura.
"This car is so magnificent!"
Pei Yinyin and Xu Ying couldn’t help but marvel as they scrutinized the top-of-the-line SUV.
Even though they knew nothing about cars, they could clearly sense its extraordinary presence.
Compared to the limited-edition BMW 7 Series they had arrived in, this Cullinan...
..pletely blew the other car out of the water. There was no comparison.
"It is quite impressive."
Qi Sheng agreed, finding himself liking the Cullinan more and more the longer he looked at it.
"Manager Ren, could you please tell about this red Cullinan?"
"Mr. Qi, the Cullinan is the very first SUV model Rolls-Royce has ever produced."
"It’s also the most luxurious SUV on the market today, with a curb weight of 2.75 tons."
"Although the Cullinan is a bit heavier than other vehicles in its class..."
"...it’s equipped with a 6.7-liter, 12-cylinder twin-turbo engine, boasting up to 571 horsepower."
"It can be serene or swift. Overtaking in daily traffic is not an issue."
"As for its slightly slower acceleration, I don’t believe that’s a factor Cullinan owners typically worry about."
"After all, what Cullinan owner doesn’t also have a sports car?"
Qi Sheng smiled at that.
It was just as Ren Feng said.
He wasn’t buying the Cullinan for its acceleration or raw performance.
He was purely after its sense of luxury.
When it ca to performance, his Ferrari 488 would leave the Cullinan in the dust.
"This car also features a full-ti all-wheel-drive system and an all-wheel steering system."
"It guarantees sufficient clearance and agility on any road surface."
"The adaptive air suspension ensures stability while driving."
"Whether for daily commuting or off-roading, this car can et your every need!"
At this point, Ren Feng couldn’t help but joke, "Of course, I doubt anyone would actually take a Cullinan off-roading. That would be a bit of a sacrilege."
"After all, the cost of the options on a Cullinan is enough to buy a rcedes G-Wagen."
"The G-Wagen is much better suited for off-roading. You wouldn’t feel as bad even if you broke it."
Qi Sheng quite agreed with Ren Feng’s point.
"That’s true. Even with the G-Wagen’s price hikes, you can get an entry-level model for under 2.5 million."
"But this Cullinan, with all the options and taxes, will cost nearly ten million by the ti it’s on the road."
The Cullinan’s performance was certainly excellent.
But at the end of the day, it was still just an SUV, not a true off-roader.
Since he was choosing an SUV anyway, Qi Sheng wasn’t concerned with how strong its off-road capabilities were.
Qi Sheng looked at Ren Feng and said, "Manager Ren, I think I have a good enough handle on the performance. Please tell about the interior and the options on this car."
"Of course, no problem."
"Mr. Qi, no amount of talk from can compare to you experiencing it for yourself."
"Why don’t you have a seat inside, and I can walk you through the features?"
Ren Feng reached out, opened the car door, and gestured for Qi Sheng to get in.
"Alright, I’ll do that."
That was exactly what Qi Sheng wanted to do, and he slid neatly into the car.
Instead of getting in, Ren Feng stood by the open door and began explaining the car’s interior features.
"Mr. Qi, this is the five-seat version of the Cullinan. The optional front and rear seats are equipped with ventilation, heating, and massage functions..."
As the sales manager of this Rolls-Royce center,
Ren Feng knew exactly where the strengths of a Rolls-Royce lay.
The Cullinan was highly configured, but based on looks and performance alone...
...it didn’t have a significant advantage over other brands’ SUVs in the two-to-three-million-yuan range.
Much of the cost ca down to the brand premium.
People who could truly afford a Rolls-Royce didn’t care about so-called ’value for money’.
Instead, they paid far more attention to the finer details.
They didn’t care if an item was ’worth it,’ only whether or not they liked it.
And in that regard, Rolls-Royce excelled.
An ordinary car might only have a few standout design features.
But every single detail inside this Cullinan was worth savoring.
The texture, materials, and refinent of the interior were all pushed to the absolute limit.
From the leather trim, which exuded a faint, fragrant scent, to the copious chro accents throughout the cabin...
...to the sheer comfort of the seats, everything left Qi Sheng deeply satisfied.
A thick lamb’s wool carpet lay underfoot.
Even through his shoes, he could clearly feel its plush softness.
"Manager Ren, I’ll take this car!"
Ren Feng froze the mont he heard Qi Sheng’s words.
He had been just about to go into more detail to further highlight the prestige of a Rolls-Royce.
Then, he would probe Mr. Qi’s interest in buying.
If the client wasn’t satisfied with the model on hand...
...he would then propose their ultra-prestigious customization service.
He never imagined that before he could even deploy his many sales tactics...
...Qi Sheng would have already made his decision.
But his professional training kicked in, and Ren Feng quickly recovered.
Suppressing his inner delight, he confird with Qi Sheng one more ti.
"Mr. Qi, are you absolutely sure?"
"Yes, Manager Ren. I’m a decisive person, so I’m not going to haggle with you over every little detail of the price."
Qi Sheng t his gaze calmly, applying a bit of pressure.
"I expect your dealership to show so sincerity in return. You’re not the only Rolls-Royce showroom in the country. It wouldn’t be a big deal for to just buy it from a dealership in another city."
"Mr. Qi, please rest assured. I will absolutely get you the best possible discount and benefits. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!"
Ren Feng promised with utmost sincerity before making an inviting gesture.
"If you and the two ladies would please follow to the VIP lounge to rest for a mont, I will bring the contract to you shortly."
The VIP lounge at this Rolls-Royce center was about one hundred square ters.
The decor incorporated nurous Rolls-Royce elents.
For instance, there was ambient lighting that mimicked the starlight headliner, the sa lamb’s wool carpeting, and so on.
Even the sofas were designed in the sa style and made from the sa materials as the car seats.
They were incredibly enveloping to sit in, with a wonderfully comfortable feel.
Qi Sheng guided the still-dazed Pei Yinyin and Xu Ying to the sofa, and they all leaned back comfortably.
Ren Feng stood by and asked respectfully, "What can I get for you and the two ladies to drink? We have Evian, Perrier, fresh-squeezed juice, hand-ground coffee..."
"I’ll have an Evian. What about you two?"
Qi Sheng was indeed a little thirsty, but after all the juice he’d had while shopping, water seed like a healthier choice.
"We’ll both have juice."
Pei Yinyin and Xu Ying were still processing the fact that Qi Sheng was buying a Cullinan, so their replies were almost subconscious.
"Of course. Please wait just a mont."
With that, Ren Feng left the VIP lounge, thoughtfully closing the door behind him to give the three of them so privacy.
"Darling, did you really just decide to buy that car so quickly? Aren’t you going to think about it so more?"
Pei Yinyin thought about the 1.5 million they had already spent that afternoon.
She was worried that Qi Sheng’s lavish, unrestrained spending would deplete his cash flow.
"What’s there to think about? It’s just a car. I like it, so I’m buying it."
Qi Sheng gently pinched Pei Yinyin’s delicate nose.
"Don’t worry, your man is plenty rich. Buying one car isn’t going to leave bankrupt."
Seeing that Qi Sheng’s tone didn’t seem to be an act,
as if he weren’t buying a car, but a toy,
Pei Yinyin suddenly understood. ’I’ve fallen back into a poor person’s mindset again.’
Ordinary people would definitely shop around and think for a long ti before buying a car.
For most families, the cost of a car was a significant financial burden.
But Qi Sheng’s financial situation was on a completely different level.
A man who had just spent 1.5 million while shopping that afternoon wasn’t going to agonize over this decision.
Besides, a man as smart as Qi Sheng wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize his daily life or his company’s operations.
