Financial Independence through Cracked Apps
Chapter 232 - 155: Trident Starlight, [Industry Enhancement Card]
"Right now, the S680’s base price is 3.5 million. The purchase tax is 310,000, the luxury vehicle tax is 180,000, first-year insurance is 100,000, a local Modu license plate is 100,000, and with all the other miscellaneous fees, the final on-road price will be around 4.2 million."
4.2 million?
Hearing this price, Zheng Yanfei, sitting in the back seat, was momentarily stunned.
She had always thought a Maybach was just a slightly more expensive Mercedes, costing a million or so at most.
But this Maybach S680 was *this* expensive?
’You could almost buy a Rolls-Royce with just a little more money...’
Zheng Yanfei muttered to herself, thinking Lin Shen would hesitate because of the steep price.
But instead, he just nodded.
"Alright. What are my financing options?"
"We have an exclusive Mercedes-Benz financial plan. You’ll need a down payment of 30% to 50% of the on-road price, with a three-year loan term. The monthly payments would be between 30,000 and 50,000." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"At the end of the term, you can choose to pay off the remaining balance in a lump sum or refinance. The plan is very flexible. What do you think?"
"Sounds good," Lin Shen said readily.
"I’ll make a down payment of 1.6 million. Draw up a loan agreement for me to look at."
"No problem!"
Hearing how decisively Lin Shen planned to order the car, Song Xue was overjoyed.
’Look at this!’
’What makes a VIP client?’
’*This* is a VIP client!’
’You give him the rundown once, and he orders the car straight away, without a moment’s hesitation!’
When Zheng Yanfei, still in the back seat, heard Lin Shen was going to order the car right then and there, her eyes went wide with astonishment.
’A car worth over four million, and he’s just buying it on a whim?’
’That’s just too extravagant!’
’And the most crucial part is, Lin Shen is only in his twenties!’
’So young, yet he can afford a 1.6 million down payment just from his own business...’
At this, Zheng Yanfei’s admiration for Lin Shen grew even stronger. She even felt she had finally found the perfect dream man, someone who had only existed in her fantasies!
’He’s handsome, has a great body, is capable, and most importantly, he’s rich!’
’And it’s his own money, not his family’s!’
’That’s truly rare!’
’I’d even be willing to be a mistress for a guy like this!’
After getting out of the car, Zheng Yanfei excitedly grabbed Lin Shen’s hand and shook it, as happy as if she had bought the car herself.
"Brother! Congratulations on your new ride!"
"I’ve only ordered it. I haven’t taken delivery yet."
Seeing Zheng Yanfei lean in close, Lin Shen took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her stunningly slender waist, his large hand exploring the small of her back.
This made her pretty face flush slightly. While her heart pounded restlessly, she was also secretly thrilled.
’I really am charming, after all!’
So, Zheng Yanfei kept "intentionally" rubbing against Lin Shen as they followed Song Xue to the second floor of the dealership.
The environment here was not only elegant and quiet, but it was even equipped with a billiards room and a gym. The quality of service was extremely high.
There was even an exclusive negotiation room prepared specifically for prospective Maybach owners.
Song Xue led Lin Shen and Zheng Yanfei inside.
"Sir, Ma’am, please have a seat. May I have your last names?"
"My last name is Lin, and hers is Zheng."
"Alright, Mr. Lin, Ms. Zheng. Would you two like anything to drink? We have milk, soda, coffee, and so on."
"Coffee."
After sitting on the sofa, Lin Shen glanced at Zheng Yanfei beside him, raising an eyebrow. She immediately understood and said to Song Xue,
"I’ll have a glass of milk, then. Thank you."
"You’re welcome. Please wait just a moment."
Song Xue got up and left, returning shortly with the coffee and milk. Her tray even held a few small bags of snacks engraved with the Mercedes-Benz logo.
"These are some pastries we made ourselves. Please, try them."
"Mm."
Lin Shen was very satisfied with the service quality at the Mercedes-Benz dealership, while Zheng Yanfei was even more excited, taking all sorts of pictures to show off to her roommates.
"Over here are our optional configurations. Please take a look."
Song Xue first led Lin Shen into the deepest part of the exclusive negotiation room, where various optional packages for the Maybach were displayed.
These included wheel emblems, interior colors, two-tone paint jobs, and more. There was a full range of styles and models.
But for Lin Shen, the more top-of-the-line, the better.
So he didn’t spare any expense, selecting nearly every option the Maybach had to offer.
The entertainment system, the sound system, the driver-assistance systems, and so on.
The whole package added another 800,000, bringing the final on-road price to around 5 million.
"This is your vehicle sales contract."
After printing out the itemized details of the final on-road price for the Maybach S680 that Lin Shen had configured, Song Xue handed him the documents from her folder one by one for his inspection.
"These two are the loan agreement and the service agreement. We will handle services like vehicle inspection, registration, and insurance purchasing for you, so you won’t have to worry about a thing while you wait for your car."
"..."
Lin Shen picked up the contracts and reviewed them one by one to avoid any pitfalls.
Only after confirming there were no issues did he sign.
Before paying the 1.6 million down payment, Lin Shen first made a point of tapping his Indulgence Consumption Card.
[Indulgence Consumption Card settling...]

’My savings have finally surpassed ten million!’
Lin Shen’s fists clenched, his heart pounding with excitement.
