章節 14: Stockpiling (6)
When she arrived, she got to see a lot of two-wheelers, three-wheelers, four-wheelers, and six- to eight-wheelers, whether it was Mercedes Benz, Lamborghini, Mustang, Civic, Corvette, Highlander, Beetle, Volkswagen, BMW, or Audi series.
Most of the car models in the front row were very sleek, luxurious, and impractical for the post-apocalyptic road conditions.
Others were lacking compared to what she had in mind.
Lu Nanzhi walked around for a few more minutes until she found what she was after—off-roads, and military edition vehicles entered her sight.
Her luck was rather good. Decommissioned military vehicles were also included in the mix.
A middle-aged car dealer received her, and when he heard her intention of buying, he entertained her questions.
"Most of the cars we sell came from foreign markets. So the quality is guaranteed, but the price is on the heavier side."
Lu Nanzhi frowned.
"How about the spare parts? Are there any available on the local market?" If the spare parts aren't readily available, how is it any different from scrap once they broke down?
The car dealer thought that the customer was frowning about the price, but she was actually worried about the spare parts.
"No need to worry. The car may be produced overseas, but plenty of local companies have alternatives to replace the spare parts, and their quality and performance won't be affected."
Lu Nanzhi was relieved and followed the car dealer to inspect the cars she was eyeing.
The car dealer has an inkling that Lu Nanzhi was a potential buyer and quickly introduced each of the vehicles' details.
"This Jeep Wrangler is suitable for exploring harsh terrains. It has high ground clearance and robust solid axles, front and rear, which can be used on long trips thanks to its large diesel tank capacity. Its exterior is also made bulletproof and... "
"This military edition of Rezvani is designed to have a touch coat. It has bulletproof glass and body armor, under explosive protection, a smoke screen, thermal night vision systems, reinforced suspension, electromagnetic pulse protection, an intercom system, and siren and horn options.
"If you want a cheaper one, we have a Bulletproof Ford Raptor."
"Over there is the Hummer series; it's equipped with terrain response, terrain progress control, hill descent control, and air suspension."
The two also went to see the electrical cars and RVs, Lu Nanzhi especially like the SOD Peak with rustic black design and Rivian R1S with great off-road capabilities and runs on electricity.
After exploring all the off-road cars, Lu Nanzhi immediately placed an order to buy 20 Hummers, 20 Jeep Wranglers, 20 Land Rovers, 20 Knight XV Armored SUVs, 30 Rivian R1S, and 10 Rezvani Tank Military Editions.
Speaking of RVs, she also purchased 4 SOD Peak 6x6. It has double beds and three bunk beds. The large space inside is equipped with a washbasin and toilet, a separate shower, an induction cooker, an oven with a microwave, a deep freezer, a fridge, a large water tank, and 4 sets of Terracross Unicat Light RVs.
The flood will be no joke, and she wasn't sure whether these cars will be able to survive. That is why she ordered so many.
The car dealer thought his ears may have been playing him. It took five seconds for him to respond. "You want that many?"
Lu Nanzhi lifted her eyebrows. "Why? You don't have that many stocks?"
"N-no. No! We definitely have the stocks!" The car dealer quickly assured Lu Nanzhi. It's just he was very shocked. It was the first time a civilian brought that much. It was hard to believe.
"I'm a purchasing agent for an escorting agency." Lu Nanzhi's next words wiped out the suspicions off the car dealer's face.
"Oh! A purchasing agent. No wonder! Thank you for choosing our company!"
Lu Nanzhi handed a paper containing the modifications she wanted. "I want all of them in black and to be modified according to the requirements on the list within a month. Can you do it?"
She prefers black because it's less noticeable.
The car dealer read the requirements attentively.
Lu Nanzhi wanted to install grills on the windows, but after rescuing Little Dumpling from the car crash, she became very worried and asked if it was possible to install an emergency hatch on the roof.
But this part was out of car dealer's job scope. "Customer, can you wait for a minute? "
Because Lu Nanzhi said she was from an escorting agency, the car dealer didn't have many questions.
Lu Nanchi nodded.
The car dealer went to inform his manager, which in turn spoke with the head mechanic.
Anti-theft doors, anti-blast and anti-explosion armored plates exterior, bullet-proof and explosion-resistant glass, bullet-proof and explosion-proof tires, run-flat tires, extra spotlights on the sides, extra fuel tank, reinforced suspensions, ram bumpers, enhanced air filter, roof hatch, sound, heat, and insulated cabins and engines, solar panels, and inverter generators for RVs.
(Runflat tires—you can continue driving even when punctured.)
Because it was a big order, the manager personally went with the head mechanic of the branch that was currently on duty, who specialized in car tuning.
"Customer, yes we can install the emergency hatch but most of the modification requests may increase the value of the car by almost 10 to 15%. I don't know if you're alright with that," the manager said.
"It's fine with me. You don't need to worry about the money. You just need to provide the best materials and deliver it on time. We are cooperating with other big agencies and if mishaps occur due to a factory defect of mechanic failure or the delivery date was pushed back, you will have to be ready for a big lawsuit." Lu Nanzhi lied through her teeth.
The people's expression changed under her threat.
"But this is also a great opportunity. I choose your company for this year, so do your best to impress my clients."
Her following words eased their nerves.
The manager was especially determined. If he can secure this deal, he might even be promoted.
(A/N: I hope this chapter wasn't a bore!)
