“I don’t have a business card.”
Heeyeon’s voice was blunt as she replied.
She must feel the same way as me.
“ah. is it so? There are three of you.”
It was a fat man who looked about 40 years old.
“Can’t three of us come?”
When I asked, the man frowned.
“Where is it? I’m saying that because there are very few people who come with three people at once.”
“Ah yes.”
There was no attitude at all to lead the conversation smoothly.
“Who are you trying to buy under?”
“ah. Boy.”
When he asked, Beomsu pointed at me.
“ah. Then sit down. and…”
The man sat down as well, and pulled out a piece of paper from the file folder.
“Please write one of these.”
“hmm?”
I looked at the paper he held out.
<Customer Information>
At the top of the document was written:
“You want me to write this?”
“yes.”
he said as if he was annoyed.
“…”
I quickly gave a signal to Heeyeon and Beomsu with my eyes.
“hmm.”
They immediately understood the meaning of my glance and took action.
“Does P Motors write these directly to customers? I don’t think this is an official format.”
What he said was Hee-yeon, who had been to the car showroom many times.
“ah. Every dealer has a different policy on that. I ask the customer to write it down himself.”
the dealer said.
I lied and fell asleep.
If you ask the self-respecting ‘bosses’ to write a customer card, they will write it down for you.
In addition, there are some information that I am sorry to ask customers to write down.
Let’s say things like ‘date of birth’ and ‘vehicle owned’.
“Here, there’s also something called ‘Estimated Income.’ What is your expected income? I’m writing it down, do I project my income?”
I asked with a frown.
At this point, you can understand the atmosphere.
Dealers will create and keep files containing customer information for customer management.
So, now this document is originally intended for dealers to write themselves.
Now, however, this human handed out to me to write the contents that he had to write down without my knowledge.
“You can just not write anything that is ambiguous to write.”
“under.”
Heeyeon snorted.
Almost doubled the response.
You know what we’re offended by right now, but we’re just pretending not to know.
“…”
My appetite was bitter, but once I started writing it down.
“Do you have a resident registration number? Are you writing this down?”
When I asked, the insincere answer came back.
“If you don’t want to write it down, just write in the front digit.”
“…”
Doesn’t this person even know privacy laws?
I should have been very angry, but strangely, I wasn’t angry at all.
‘I heard that if you go to a department store luxury shop, there are employees who think they are luxury cars, and if you go to a luxury car store, there are dealers who think they are luxury cars…’
It’s so blatantly stiff right now, but it’s rather miraculous that it’s in a poor treatment mode.
“no…”
Heeyeon opened her mouth to ask something, but I stopped her with my hand.
“…”
He is not the owner of a silent personality that someone would say would stop him.
But because I restrained it with a slight smile, Heeyeon kept her mouth shut.
I realized that I had something on my mind.
“I wrote it down.”
Saying this, he returned the paper to the dealer.
“…why didn’t you write down your job and income? You should write it down.”
“yes? They said not to write down uncomfortable things.”
“… I don’t know why that makes you uncomfortable.”
Dealers who speak to themselves.
“Isn’t your job or income your privacy?”
“well. Many of the customers who buy P cars are proud of their jobs and income.”
Hei-go~ He talks without budding.
“Because I am a student. Because students don’t generate income, they don’t think it’s a job. So I didn’t write down the expected income because I didn’t have it. Is it wrong?”
I asked.
“No…then how will you buy a P car?”
“her.”
Apparently, this man seemed like a dealer who was more concerned with weeding out people who weren’t going to buy a car than trying to sell it.
“It is a capitalist society. There are people who win the lottery, and there are people who have rich families, right?”
“…”
Beom-soo’s words were chewed up by the dealer.
Instead, as if he was annoyed, he just glanced at me and Bum-soo from the bottom up.
‘This human. It must mean that our clothes don’t look that way.’
“Which car are you interested in?”
Do you still ask for a car?
“It was written there.”
In the information I returned to the man, there was a column of ‘desired car type/purchased car type’.
I clearly wrote ‘P101 Cabriolet’ on it.
“uh…”
The man checked the model and frowned.
“How are you going to buy it?”
“yes?”
“There are installments. There’s Reese. Or there’s a cash rush.”
It’s a ‘cash rush’.
It’s something you wouldn’t normally say to a customer.
That would mean they don’t see us as customers.
“uh. What is the difference between leasing and installment? I’ve been curious about it for a long time.”
“Um… do you have any taxes to pay?”
“no.”
“right. Because I said I had no income. Then installments are better than leasing.”
“Ah yes.”
The explanation is so simple that it sticks right in my head, hey.
The thought that I could continue receiving counseling from this person was gradually disappearing.
“Anyway, can I test drive it?”
“There is no P101 in our showroom.”
“yes?”
I called and checked, but what are you talking about?
Are you even lying? this crossed the line
I was about to argue, but suddenly the man’s cell phone rang.
“…”
He looked at my phone and my face for a moment, then answered the call.
“Ah yes! CEO!”
The person we talked to and this person on the phone saying ‘CEO’ were just different people.
‘He’s someone who can laugh like this.’
“Ah yes! Thanks to you, I’m doing well! lol. Are you well?”
The man didn’t care about our gaze at all, and started talking comfortably while leaning his body on the sofa.
“Oh, that is.”
As if a question had come over the receiver, he began to answer.
“oh. really crazy It’s the first time I’ve seen someone answer the phone without even asking for permission during consultation.”
“Is that so?”
I asked Hee-yeon as if to confirm her words.
“huh. I was talking to my dad, but the phone rang and the dealer didn’t know what to do. So Dad said, ‘Pick up the phone.’ I’m sorry for saying this. And don’t take it in front of me like that. Avoid your seat.”
Heeyeon answered in a quick tone as if excited.
Our conversation may or may not have reached him, but he didn’t care anyway.
“yes. thank you! Please call again anytime. hahahaha.”
The phone is disconnected.
“We checked on the phone.”
I asked in a low voice.
“yes?”
“The P101 Cabriolet test drive, he said he checked it out at the Cheongdam showroom.”
“is it so?”
The man frowned, then turned into a thoughtful expression.
He’s probably thinking about continuing to catch him in lies, or changing his words.
“By the way, we can’t test-drive our P car unconditionally just because it comes.”
At those words, I stood up from the sofa and said.
“Can I have a business card please? It’s the first time I’ve been talking for so long without receiving a business card from the person in charge.”
Although this is my first purchase consultation, I said this.
“ah. A business card? But since I’m not doing sales consulting, I don’t think I need to give you a business card.”
“yes?”
“Actually, I don’t think I will buy a vehicle. To be honest.”
“…”
Heeyeon was looking at me. You endured it once because of me, so you can see me before you protest something.
“All right.”
“oh. just get up?”
“huh. first.”
I also restrained Heeyeon with a smile.
“then.”
When I said hello, the man said.
“I will guide you to the exit. First of all, it’s a rule.”
‘first?’ It means that if there are no rules, they don’t want to see them off.
Every single word is gone.
“yes.”
I said this and left the counseling room ahead of the man.
“Uh…”
As I strode out, Hee-yeon and Beom-soo also left the room.
– Cheeky.
I progressed pretty quickly towards the reception desk in front of the main entrance.
“uh…”
When the distance widened to such an extent that it was difficult to see that he was guiding me, the dealer was also taken aback.
But they couldn’t call me or stop me.
“I just came out for a consultation. I would like to consult with another dealer.”
As soon as I went to the desk, I spoke to the female guide.
“yes?”
Confused, she got up from her seat.
“no…”
To my dismay, the dealer was the same.
“Um, what’s wrong with you?”
This won’t happen often.
However, the receptionist quickly returned to a businesslike voice.
“yes. We called and asked if we could take a test drive, but they said we couldn’t.”
Then a small smile appeared on her lips.
“ah. It is the sole responsibility of the salesperson to decide on a test drive… There is nothing we can do about it.”
A smile came to mind from the face of the dealer who had heard this far. He seemed to think he had won.
“is it so? I don’t think it’s possible to not give it a test drive. Isn’t it kind of a lie to say no? I don’t trust the dealer.”
“ah.”
The guide’s eyes widened slightly.
“Ah, sorry about that. I mistook it for another car.”
The dealer tried to hand it over in a relaxed voice.
“hmm. all right. Then I will file a formal complaint.”
I continued without shrinking.
“which…”
“First of all, we didn’t even get that person’s business card. They tell me to get a job and write down my income without revealing my name, but I don’t want to continue to receive counseling from such a person.”
“…”
The female employee’s eyes wavered.
“And, crucially, you put it in front of me and talk on the phone while leaning on the sofa. Not even asking for forgiveness.”
“…”
The female employee glanced at the dealer’s face.
The dealer did not immediately respond this time either.
‘also.’
I smiled condescendingly.
The showroom could have shielded him from the test drive issue, but his behavior must have been mixed with one or two rule violations.
“that…”
I was about to speak again, but the dealer cut me off.
“All right. I actually had a pre-booked consultation today, but I think I misunderstood the customers because of that! Do as you ask!”
Seeing the dealer saying this and running away first turned my reasoning that there was a rule violation into conviction.
For now, it would be best for a dealer to just blurt it out and run away.
“Ah… I see. sorry. Then can you wait a little longer?”
“yes.”
“Then I will guide you back to the counseling room.”
“yes.”
So we sat down in the consulting room again.
“ruler. Did you take a video earlier?”
When the three of us were left, I asked Heeyeon and Beomsu.
“huh.”
“Play it for a second.”
I said with a grin.
– Please write this one.
The dealer’s voice spread through the cell phone speaker.
“oh. I also recorded it from there.”
Heeyeon looked at Beomsu’s cell phone together and smiled.
“Let’s see…”
also. If we pretend to be the YouTube generation, we pretend.
Hee-yeon and Beom-soo press the record button and put their cell phones on their hands.
The video taken by Heeyeon was fixed on the man’s waist, and the video taken by Beomsu was fixed at an angle where the table and sofa were visible.
“good. The dealer’s face doesn’t come out… And was there a place where P car was mentioned?”
“I think there were one or two?”
“Then just bleep it up and put it up quickly. I checked to see if there was anything else that could identify who it was or which exhibition hall it was in, and if there were any, I cut them off.”
“okay.”
The beggar nodded.
“The title?”
Heeyeon asked.
“The title is…”
After thinking for a moment, I said:
“I was treated badly by the car dealer, and the dealer in charge changed it on the spot.”
“Quack. okay. It’s true that not everyone can change dealers.”
Heeyeon and Beomsu laughed.
– Ding-dong!
Beomsu uploaded the video at high speed using an editing app on his phone.
And, soon after, the notification sound of pouring subscribers piled up.
