Chapter 1093: Top to Bottom
“Hello, Sir.” The salesperson looked at Hong Dali and did not sense anything wrong. However, she suddenly felt some strong emotions when she looked at Gu Feifei standing behind. “It’s my pleasure to serve you. May I know how I can help you today?” What a difference in tone!
“I want to buy some phone numbers. Do you have some good numbers right now? I want something easy to remember,” said Hong Dali.
Phone numbers had one characteristic. The simpler the combination was to memorize, the more expensive they were. The salesperson was unsure of what type of numbers Hong Dali wanted. “Sir, may I know roughly what level you’re looking for?”
“What level?” Hong Dali’s response was simple and straight to the point. “From top to bottom. Do as you see fit.”
The salesperson almost choked to death upon hearing Hong Dali’s words.
From top to bottom, that was the first that she saw someone pick numbers like that. “Sorry, Sir. I don’t really understand what you mean...”
“How much is the most expensive number here now?” Hong Dali asked.
“100,000 yuan. The last four digits are the same.” The salesperson responded.
The crowd’s eyes almost dropped to the floor.
Hong Dali lifted that bag of phones and placed it on the counter. “Thirty numbers. Arrange them from top to bottom. By the way, help me put all the cards in and set them up properly. There’s a 4G service or something now, right?”
The salesperson opened her mouth in shock. Everyone else’s jaws dropped as well. The entire place was instantly silent.
They’d seen or at least heard of bosses who bought specific numbers. However, this was everyone’s first time seeing someone buy numbers like Hong Dali. Thirty numbers! He took them all from top to bottom. Cool! Domineering! God-level nouveau riche!
The salesperson could not handle such a huge client by herself. So, she called the manager over. “Sir, this is our manager. Please repeat your request to him. I’m not authorized to approve such a huge deal.”
That was expected. The best number would cost 100,000. Even the cheaper ones would cost at least 10,000. Thirty numbers would add up to at least 800,000! When had a small salesperson like her encountered such a huge deal? Hence, she decisively called the manager over—her life would not be easy in the future if she tried to keep the deal all to herself.
“Hello, Sir.” The manager came over and smiled as he asked about Hong Dali’s request. “This is the current situation. The administration process might take a while, as the workload required is quite heavy. In the meantime, allow me to introduce some basic plans to you.”
“Yep, sure. Tell me about them.” Hong Dali nodded.
“A new number has to be verified with a valid proof of identification before it can be processed. You bought thirty cards at once here. Although it’s a huge business for us, things will still be rather complicated without the valid ID, so...” The manager first reminded Hong Dali of that issue.
Hong Dali needed individual valid IDs for the purchase of SIM cards. Otherwise, he would lose the numbers forever if he lost the phones.
“Hm, that’s true.” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Seems like I have to come back here again. Forget it, I’ll just buy the numbers first. What other services are there? Tell me about that 4G or whatever it’s called.”
Since the manager had reminded Hong Dali of the main issue, he introduced all the plans available next. “The currently recommended packages include data plans and mobile credit top-up. These two are compulsory with the purchase of any SIM card. As for the other services, you can buy them as and when you deem fit, Sir.”
China Mobile had plenty of other random services. However, the manager could feel that Hong Dali was no ordinary customer. Hence, he dared not lie.
After all, they could not afford to bluff these big customers. If they pushed for too many packages, they could easily get upset and leave. That would not be worth it.
“Sure, let’s settle them all.” Hong Dali decided. “I want the maximum package for the data plan. How much data do I get?”
Look at how amazing that was? He asked directly for the biggest plan!
“The most data you can get is with the 4G plan that costs 288 yuan per month. For 288 a month, you’ll get 1,000 minutes of outgoing local calls and 4 GB of local data.” The manager smiled and said, “I believe that plan will be enough for you to use, Sir.”
“4 GB?” Hong Dali thought for a while. Then, he asked the manager, “I can’t watch many movies with that, right?”
Everyone’s jaws dropped. Did you see that? What did a nouveau riche mean? Only someone who watched movies on 4G data and not Wi-Fi could be called a true nouveau riche!
“Erm...” The manager did not know how to react. “Sir, you can use Wi-Fi to watch movies...”
“Too troublesome. Anything bigger?” Hong Dali asked again.
“Yes, Sir!” The manager nodded decisively. “1,288 yuan per month, you’ll get 30 GB of data!”
“That’s it!” Hong Dali slapped his thigh. “I’ll take that for all thirty numbers.”
Everyone was immediately dumbstruck—domineering!
“Then... then how many credits will you like to top-up into each card, Sir?” The manager was sweating profusely. He had never met such a nouveau riche client in his life!
“Max,” Hong Dali replied.
Everyone was dumbstruck again. Countless people took out their phones to post this story on social media. “A god-level nouveau riche has been spotted! Invincible! He bought thirty phone numbers from top to bottom and also monthly data plans with 30 GB worth of data just to watch movies. He asked for the mobile credits to be topped up to the maximum!”
“The national husband, Brother Sicong’s position is being challenged! Have you ever met anyone who topped up their mobile credits to the maximum?”
“Nouveau riche, please let me be your mistress! I know how to cook and warm your bed!”
...
Of course, it was impossible to actually top up the mobile credit to a maximum. The manager asked for Hong Dali’s approval before adding 10,000 yuan worth of credits into each card.
Hence, his haul from this trip was as follows: 30 SIM cards with consecutive ending digits, 30 sets of data plans that covered 30 GB per month, as well as 10,000 yuan worth of mobile credits in each SIM card.
Hm, given Hong Dali’s normal expenditure, this was just an ordinary trip.
Everyone else was completely shocked. Meanwhile, Hong Dali remained very calm.
Gu Feifei was calm too—for a prodigal who lost over 700 million dollars just from purchasing limit-down stocks, a few hundred thousand was indeed no big deal. Hence, Gu Feifei was a little curious now too. This Hong Dali said he was here for enjoyment. Judging by the current situation, there were no powerful warriors in this dimension, and they had no need to worry about money...
To be honest, she was beginning to fall in love with this place. Stress-free life. How wonderful was that?
“This phone is for you.” Hong Dali passed a phone to Gu Feifei and said, “We can use it to contact each other if we get separated.”
“Sure.” As they were in a different dimension, Gu Feifei was much more willing to accept things from Hong Dali. She took it and said, “Where next? Continue shopping?”
Everyone pricked their ears, waiting quietly to hear what this god-level nouveau riche was going to do next.
“Hm, house first or car first?” Hong Dali was a little hesitant. “If we buy a car first, we don’t have a garage to store it. But if we buy a house first, we don’t have a car to get to it. That’s depressing...”
Everyone else was completely stunned again. Look at the rich. They had no problems with buying houses and cars. The only problem was which one to buy first...
This manager was indeed a smart person. He knew that this was an affluent young master, and they had to serve him well. He immediately smiled and said, “Sir, if you don’t mind, I can bring you to buy the car first. I have a friend who’s in charge of a motor show right now. There are plenty of decent cars there. If you’re alright with it, I can personally drive you over.”
Eh? There’s actually such a good thing?
To be honest, Hong Dali was just too lazy. Hence, he instantly nodded. “Sure, alright. Let’s head there now.”
As they exited the building, the manager expressed his deep admiration and asked Hong Dali, “Sir, you are so generous. I wonder what kind of car you’re looking for? Low, medium, and high-end cars are all available at this motor show. However, it’s more focused on high-end cars.”
“Oh, how high is that?” Hong Dali asked. “Around how much?”
“The cheaper ones go for a little over a million. The better ones go for tens of millions.” The manager took out his name card and handed it to Hong Dali. “If you don’t mind, Sir, this is my name card. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me.”
“Oh, sure.” Hong Dali took the name card and glanced at it. The name was easy to remember, Shang Hongxiu.
Hm, he was rather quick on his feet. Not bad.
The trip from China Mobile to the Five River stadium where the motor show was being held took around ten minutes. They made some small talk along the way and soon arrived.
“We’re here. This is it.” Shang Hongxiu parked the car and said, “As this is a high-end motor show, there are plenty of car girls here. They’re all very beautiful. Hence, there are quite a lot of people attending the motor show as well.”
“Understood.” Hong Dali smiled and nodded.
Motor shows. The number of male spectators would definitely be higher if there were more beautiful car girls.
The three of them walked into the stadium. Once inside, Hong Dali was instantly pleased.
The motor show was completely packed right now. Everyone held their cameras up to take photos fervently. Although 99% of the people present could not afford to buy any of the cars, they still could look at them and take some photos.
Just as Shang Hongxiu said, this was indeed a high-end motor show.
Audi R8, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, V12 Vantage, DB9, Porsche 911, 918, Bentley, Lamborghini, Maserati... Hong Dali even saw two Bugatti Veyrons at the center of the entire motor show...
The car girls were all tall with long legs. They wore revealing clothes and posed in all kinds of positions for the customers to take photos.
“This is the high-end motor show?” Gu Feifei had been to countless big events. She gave a fair review. “Decent designs. However, the operation is way too troublesome.”
Hm, in her opinion, all vehicles that were not piloted by artificial intelligence were troublesome.
Shang Hongxiu was sweating profusely. He instantly called his friend. Soon, a well-dressed young man hurriedly ran over and smiled when he saw Hong Dali. “Is this the Young Master interested in a car? Hello, my name is Lin Ye. Please come this way!”
“Sure.” Hong Dali smiled and nodded. As they walked, Lin Ye asked, “Young Master Dali, what’s the estimated price range of the cars you want to look at?” There were dozens of luxury cars at the show. Hence, the price range was the most important thing.
“Start from the best.” Hong Dali humphed.
“Sure. Please come this way.” Lin Ye brought Hong Dali in front of a Bugatti Veyron and introduced it. “Bugatti Veyron, one of the top sports cars in the world right now. Perfect exterior. Perfect build. Perfect power. Everything about it is perfect. It’s definitely suitable for all the high-end personnel in the world! If you have the money to purchase it, it will definitely be the best choice for you.”
