Chapter 449 The Default "Privilege"
The live stream was filled with lamentations:
"Ahhh, honey, don't go!! Just one more look! Just one more look!"
"Hurry up and chase after them, anchor! Keep the camera on them!"
"Waaaaah, my source of happiness is gone..."
"Something's really wrong upstairs. What source?"
"Yiying, think of something quickly! We can't let Ye Shen get away!"
The screen was filled with comments pleading and expressing reluctance to part ways; the hype remained, but the focus had already shifted.
Ye Fan and his group did not go too far. After turning through a beautifully designed curved exhibition hall, the view suddenly opened up before them.
An independent pavilion filled with extreme speed aesthetics and a futuristic feel appeared before us.
At the entrance of the exhibition hall, the silver "Pagani" logo gleamed under the lights, exuding a cool and noble aura.
Pagani, a legendary brand born in Modena, the "home of supercars" in Italy, was founded in 1982 by the genius engineer Horacio Pagani. It is known as one of the "Big Three" in the Italian supercar hall of fame, along with Ferrari and Lamborghini.
It represents the pinnacle of automotive art, perfectly blending ultimate performance, pure hand-forged craftsmanship, and sculptural futuristic design.
Each Pagani is like a rare treasure, adhering to a prestigious path of limited production and highly customized features.
If the Mercedes-Benz G63 is a steel beast on land, it embodies unparalleled power and a desire for conquest.
Pagani, on the other hand, was born to chase the limits of the wind.
Its mission is to squeeze the potential of the internal combustion engine to the extreme and explore the boundaries of speed in the roar of the engine.
In this pinnacle of pursuing absolute speed, Pagani, along with top rivals such as Koenigsegg, the ghost of Scandinavia, and Bugatti Veyron, the speed machine of France, continues to stage breathtaking battles for the "throne of speed," written in wind tunnels and on racetracks.
The air here seemed to tremble slightly because of those dormant engines.
Ye Fan and the others were captivated by the carbon fiber artworks in the center of the exhibition hall, which looked like they came from another planet.
A new visual feast has begun.
In stark contrast to the bustling and lively Mercedes booth, Pagani's exhibition area was filled with an almost solemn "quiet" atmosphere.
There were no noisy audiences, no flashing lights, and even the background music was unusually restrained.
In the vast space, there were only a few staff members dressed in sharp suits with meticulous expressions, and a few car models with a cool temperament and elegant posture, standing quietly next to several futuristic supercars like statues guarding works of art.
As a prestigious brand focused on top-tier supercars costing tens of millions of dollars, Pagani has its own stringent entry requirements.
This is not an open exhibition area, but more like a private appreciation salon.
To enter this area, two thresholds must be met:
First, there must be a clear intention to purchase; second, on-site verification of funds is required to prove the corresponding payment ability (usually requiring readily available funds far exceeding the price of the intended vehicle model).
These two invisible barriers instantly shut out the bustling crowds outside the exhibition hall, filtering out 99.9% of potential "visitors".
After all, every exhibit is priceless, and even the slightest accidental damage is something that ordinary people cannot afford.
Ye Fan, Fang Yu, Qin Kun and their group strolled over, their aura and leisurely demeanor serving as a silent declaration.
Before they even got close to the cordon at the entrance of the exhibition area, an experienced exhibition hall manager greeted them with a professional and enthusiastic smile, bowed slightly, and gestured for them to come in. He did not mention any questions about verification of funds or qualifications at all.
This tacit "privilege" stems from the recognition of key figures in Jinling's top social circles—Fang Yu and Qin Kun's faces are walking VIP passes.
However, several car reviewers and media anchors who were following closely behind Ye Fan and his group and trying to file in were politely but firmly stopped by security personnel in uniform.
"Sir, please wait a moment." The security guard's voice was calm but firm. "Entry to the Pagani booth requires confirmation of purchase intention and verification of financial qualifications. Please cooperate."
A hot-blooded young car reviewer immediately pointed at Ye Fan and his group who had just walked in, and asked indignantly, "What about them? How come they were able to get in without verification?"
His voice was clearly filled with resentment.
The exhibition hall manager, who was about to turn around and guide Ye Fan and the others, paused slightly upon hearing the sound.
He turned his head and looked at the car reviewer who had asked the question. There was no anger in his eyes, only a kind of compassionate calm as if he were looking at a frog in a well. There was even a very faint, professional smile on his lips.
He didn't answer the question, which he considered extremely naive. He simply nodded slightly to the security personnel, indicating that the regulations should be strictly enforced, and then quickly caught up with Ye Fan and the others.
The security personnel then calmly explained to the car reviewer:
"Sir, Mr. Fang and Mr. Qin are long-term, esteemed potential clients of our brand, and their status and strength are beyond doubt."
As for Mr. Ye, who accompanied us, he was able to travel with Mr. Fang and Mr. Qin, so he was naturally on our list of trusted individuals.
This is based on a deep understanding and respect for top-tier clients.
Please understand and cooperate with our regulations.
The subtext couldn't be clearer.
Making people of Fang Yu's and Qin Kun's stature line up to verify their qualifications in front of everyone? That would be tantamount to slapping them in the face in public!
Pagani's core service is the ultimate in luxury and privacy, rather than rigid procedures.
The professional competence of staff lies in accurately identifying who are the true "insiders" in this circle and granting them unspoken privileges.
In their view, the car reviewer's question was nothing more than an ignorant and presumptuous discussion of the rules and the nature of social circles.
The iron curtain of rules clearly separated two completely different worlds at this moment.
