"I'm sorry, customer, but... we have a policy against revealing guest information."
"Well, I just wanted to discuss with the other party if they could let me have the car first."
"That's still not possible, sir, we have regulations."
Although the young man in front of her was a big client, the beautiful sales assistant hesitated and still did not reveal the information of the car buyer.
"Alright then!"
Lin Yan saw that the other party was unwilling to disclose the information, so he had to give up, as it was their policy.
He had originally planned to contact the person who ordered this car and offer to buy it at a higher price, but now it seemed that idea was dashed.
Should he contact Zhang Mingzhi to see if he could help? Probably not. It was absurd to think of buying a Kawasaki through Ducati's channels. Forget it, he'd just wait.
This distressed little heart...
Next, Lin Yan followed the sales assistant to swipe his card to pay, and paid the deposit for the H2R, while also purchasing the ZX25R.
Before signing, Lin Yan specifically looked at the price of the ZX25R, which was 200,000. It was about what he had expected.
Lin Yan had felt quite good about himself initially, but when he saw the detailed price list, for a moment he felt like a complete sucker.
The price of the entire ZX25R was similar to that of the Ninja 400, but the tariffs and safety certifications added a significant amount.
The safety certification alone cost over 80,000, and that was before taxes.
Motorcycles were different from cars; the smaller the displacement, the higher the tax. The taxes on this bike alone exceeded its original value.
This was also why most imported motorcycles commonly seen in China were large displacement models, because it was simply not cost-effective to import small displacement ones.
Another reason Lin Yan bought this car was that he himself had never ridden it. He had ridden most of the large displacement bikes in his previous life, but there were a few specific small displacement models he hadn't ridden, and the ZX25R was one of them.
So, he was also a little curious about this bike.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, but as Lin Yan was signing the contract, the beautiful sales assistant suddenly let out a loud cry of excitement, startling several other customers who were looking at cars.
Not only them, but Lin Yan, who had just finished signing and was about to put down his pen, was also startled by the scream.
As expected, it was the same scene as last time; he had been recognized again...
Huo Zhuo, Lin Yan decided, he would definitely write down someone else's name next time he bought a car.
Everything was going well, but the moment he signed, he was exposed. The beautiful sales assistant had found Lin Yan's eyes familiar, but at first, she hadn't recalled anything.
However, when the name Lin Yan appeared on the paper as he signed the contract, combined with the name, the sales assistant immediately recognized him.
Normally, fans wouldn't recognize someone wearing a mask, but this beautiful sales assistant happened to be a member of Lin Yan's fan club. Female fans tended to focus more on appearance than skill, especially when it came to Lin Yan.
Especially this beautiful sales assistant, who was a fervent admirer of Lin Yan's looks. Her phone wallpaper was even a picture of Lin Yan, and she wished she could hug and kiss his photo before going to sleep every night.
The day after his Isle of Man victory, Lin Yan's high-definition wallpaper, smiling at the audience after throwing his helmet in front of the grandstand at the Isle of Man, had already gone viral on various platforms, with download numbers breaking ten million overnight.
Speaking of photos, last night, a photo of Lin Yan throwing his shoe directly hit the second spot on the trending searches.
The download count was even higher than Lin Yan's previous photos, and the person who took the photo was a professional race commentator. It was said that he gained over a hundred thousand followers overnight.
Fortunately, the beautiful sales assistant managed to hold back her laughter, otherwise Lin Yan felt that people around them would probably recognize him as well.
"Oh, idol, I'm so sorry, I was just too excited."
It took the sales assistant a full half-minute to recover. She leaned closer to Lin Yan and whispered an apology, her eyes sparkling with adoration.
She never expected to have such an "up-close" encounter with her idol so soon after becoming a fan.
This was simply wonderful. She absolutely had to get his autograph later.
Lin Yan wore a bitter expression. He was at a loss. Why was he recognized every time he went to a 4S store? He felt like he'd have to wear a mask to enter the store next time he bought a car, and the most important thing was to absolutely not write his own name.
The beautiful sales assistant was still lost in her own fantasy.
So much so that she forgot to take the contract Lin Yan handed her. It was only after Lin Yan reminded her that the sales assistant sheepishly took the contract.
"Um, idol, I'll contact that buyer for you and see if I can get them to let you have the car!"
The beautiful sales assistant said, her words coming out very crisply, and even her speaking speed was much faster than usual, making her seem like a completely different person.
Hearing her words, Lin Yan was puzzled. Didn't she just say there were regulations? Why the sudden change of heart?
"Well, at least pretend a little, but you're just..."
However, since she was willing to help him contact them, it was naturally for the best. He wanted to experience the car as soon as possible.
Even if he had to pay tens of thousands more, Lin Yan would have accepted it.
Lin Yan sat on a chair in the lobby to rest, while Li Wei and the others milled around him. The beautiful sales assistant went to contact the previous buyer.
After a phone call lasting over ten minutes, the other party finally agreed to transfer the car at the original price after Lin Yan's full name was mentioned.
However, the other party had one condition: they wanted to confirm his identity via video call. For the car, Lin Yan endured it...
It took nearly half an hour for Lin Yan to finally buy the car. Including the deposit for the H2, the total was around 700,000 yuan: over 400,000 for the H2 in full, 200,000 for the ZX25R, and the remaining tens of thousands were the deposit for the H2R.
However, the Kawasaki H2R was still in transit and was expected to arrive in Lin Yan's hands in a few days.
Once the contract was finalized and confirmed by both parties, Lin Yan would pay the remaining balance for the H2R when the car arrived in Kyoto.
Finally, after signing an autograph for his little fan, Lin Yan and Li Wei and the others walked out of the Kawasaki 4S store.
This time, buying the car and looking around took about an hour. They left at 8 AM, and with the traffic and the time spent buying the car, it was now 10 AM, and the sun was getting stronger.
The four of them crossed the road to the parking space on the opposite side. As soon as they crossed, Lin Yan's gaze fell upon a traffic police officer on a motorcycle standing next to his S1000RR, and a state guest motorcycle parked nearby.
The traffic police officer was issuing a ticket for Lin Yan's BMW S1000RR.
How could his BMW get a ticket while he was busy buying a car?
"Officer, may I ask what's going on?"
