A Lie Has Become Reality - A Lie Has Become Reality chapter 46

46 – Birthday present (1)

“It’s a birthday present… “

I’ve never really celebrated someone’s birthday in my life.

My life feels like hell day by day, there’s no way I could afford to congratulate anyone.

For me, someone’s birthday was nothing more or less than an annoying and troublesome event.

In the first place, there is only one guy who can be called a friend.

[ Upcoming birthday ]

Hyungjun Kim ( D-Day 7)

And finally, the birthday of one of my best friends is right around the corner.

Of course, this guy is a guy who would be satisfied without saying anything even if he just said congratulations and bought him a meal.

But I can’t admit that.

It’s not that I don’t have money, but I didn’t want to miss the birthday of my one and only friend.

Fortunately, there is still a month left before I leave for Germany to watch the Olympics.

Enough time to make up your mind and prepare for the birthday celebration.

But I don’t know what or how to prepare.

“At this time, collective intelligence is the best.”

I connected to the community by touching the mobile phone I was holding.

After logging out by moving your finger, you are ready to post anonymously.

“You guys… As a birthday present for your best friend…”

I moved my finger for a while and filled in the contents of the post.

I finished writing the post by repeating pressing and releasing my finger.

[Title]

What would you guys give your best friend a birthday present if the money rots?

[Text]

Assuming you guys are rich with personal assets of over trillion, what do you think you would give your best friend a present for his birthday?

For reference, my best friend is a normal man in his mid-20s.

If you write with a hot potato nickname, you will be attracted to aggro in an instant.

However, if that happens, not only will the surprise fail, but there is also a strong possibility that the comments will be filled with content completely unrelated to the content of the text.

Of course, the post uploaded now is no different from the common crap post, so it will be buried soon.

Still, there is no particular problem.

At least a few people will immerse themselves in the situation and comment on it as if it were their own business.

“Oh it ran.”

After waiting for about a minute, I clicked refresh, and 5 comment notifications were updated.

I checked the contents of the comment without hesitation.

[Comment] (+5)

-If you have that much money, what can you do?

-This is a piece of sh*t lol This is why you need to suppress the liquidity

-I think you would feel burdened even if you gave something too expensive as a gift hahahahaha

From noble mtl dot com

ㄴ It’s burdensome when you receive expensive things from a kid who doesn’t have money.

-What is your friend’s job?

There were very few comments that were actually nutritious.

After waiting for another minute, I clicked refresh, but there were no additional comments, probably buried in the flood of posts.

I replied to the last comment that seemed to have something to gain, just in case.

-What is your friend’s job?

N I am a student on leave of absence from military service. Have a normal house.

B Personality easy-going? Or narrow-minded?

That’s just easygoing

Does your friend know how to drive?

Yes Yes Licensed

B Then, if it were me, I would buy a foreign car.

B Foreign car?

ㄴ If you’re a man of that age, even if you give him a nice foreign car as a gift, it’s no different than receiving a deposit for a friend for the rest of your life.

And finally, a solution came out that covered all my worries.

A car gift is the perfect gift for a guy who is interested in cars.

Coming to think of it, I haven’t met him other than text messages recently.

“That sounds like fun.”

The guy who sang a song every time he went to work, saying he didn’t want to go to hell, appeared in front of his eyes.

[ Arrived at destination ]

The navigation system informed me that I had arrived at my destination with a familiar female voice.

“This is it.”

I drove the car smoothly and entered the entrance of the Bercedes Menz exhibition hall in front of me.

As I parked my car in the parking lot right next to the store, an employee in a neat suit caught up with me and started talking to me.

“Hello customer. Is it okay if I help guide you?”

What is it? Did you usually solicit customers like this from the parking lot?

You wouldn’t know that I’m Seongwoo Kim because I covered my face with a mask and a hat.

The clerk rolled his eyes here and there, taking turns glancing at me and the car I was riding in, without being obvious.

Aha, now I get it.

You must be an excellent employee who can smell the smell of money very well.

“I will help guide you, customer.”

I followed the staff who started guiding me with polite hand gestures and entered the exhibition hall.

Even to me, who is not so interested in passenger cars, the inside of the showroom was luxury itself.

Particularly, the company’s cars displayed here and there were interior points that clearly felt the brand’s pride.

It was also fun to see the signature logo model decorated here and there like a prop.

“Hello customer. This is Seongho Yoo, team leader of Bercedes Menz Korea Gangnam Branch.”

“I’m going to buy a car for a friend as a gift.”

“Ah, you came to find a present for your friend!”

The team leader began to speak with a sales smile on.

“Do you have any other models in mind?”

“It would be nice if it was a model that could be shipped immediately without anything else in mind.”

“It looks like your friend’s birthday is just around the corner. Please wait for a moment and we will guide you right away.”

He held out a glass of his fresh fruit juice and bite-sized snacks to sit down and wait.

The team leader returned to his seat as he passed the time by eating snacks and juice.

“You have been waiting for a long time. We will guide you through the models that can be shipped immediately within a few days.”

He slowly scattered the pamphlet he had brought on the desk and started explaining the models one by one.

I burst into admiration inwardly as I listened to his witty explanation of the model while mixing jokes in between.

Is this person a salesperson?

I was completely intoxicated by the talk of an eloquent in the guise of a salesperson.

“The latest model of the H-bargain H63 written here is a new model that has been very popular recently, but it is a model that was canceled due to an accident with a customer who previously signed a contract, so it can be shipped immediately upon signing the contract.”

“What are the options?”

“Long wheelbase 5 seater full option black color customer.”

“It’s okay. I’ll do it with this one. Cash payment.”

It’s a new model with full options and the most popular, so it must be a good model.

I was reluctant to choose the rest of the models that can be shipped immediately because the range of choices is too narrow and all of them are outdated.

As soon as I decided to make a purchase without much hesitation, the team leader’s lips caught on my ears.

It’s a price well over 200 million, but it’s a good thing, and there’s no way to cheat me at a regular store.

“Would you like to check your quotation?”

He carefully put the estimate down on the desk, sat across from me, and looked at me with an embarrassed smile.

How strong is your sales mindset?

He didn’t stop there, pointing at the quote from place to place, briefing him on how much effort he had put into conscientiously putting in the discount.

“Actually, cashback benefits are better than discounts for lump sum payments. As for the discount, I pushed it in as much as possible.”

“Can I transfer the down payment to the account number written here?”

“Yes, customer. As soon as the 10% down payment is transferred, we will prepare for shipping.”

“Wait a minute.”

I took out my phone and opened the banking app.

And after pressing the transfer button, I entered the account number as it was written.

After verifying the account on the spot, 1Q solved the remittance of 23.5 Million won, 10% of the 235 million won.

The team manager, who was watching the scene with wide eyes, put on a commercial smile as if he had never done that before as soon as our eyes met.

“The down payment has been sent.”

“Yes customer, deposit payment has been confirmed!”

“Then, when will the preparations for shipment be finished?”

The team leader tapped the desk with his finger and seemed intent on calculating the date.

After thinking about it for about a minute, he continued to answer my question.

“I think it will be possible within 3 days, customer. We will contact you again as soon as we are ready to ship. Is it convenient to call or text?”

“Call me, please.”

“Okay, sir. A consignment service is also available, but if you need it, please feel free to let us know.”

“Ah, then would it be possible to move here on the date I specified?”

“Of course, sir.”

I recited the birthday present delivery plan in detail to the team leader.

The team leader also suggested some of his opinions for a dramatic surprise to see if he was immersed in the situation.

So we continued the plan for our friend’s surprise, and finished the contract by meticulously reviewing the contract we had written at the end.

The team leader once again confirmed the actual car I had signed, and on the way out, he even gave me his business card and gift set.

“I love you, customer! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us anytime!”

“Yes, thank you.”

I came out of the exhibition hall receiving a 90-degree greeting as if measured with a protractor.

I was thrilled when I thought of the reaction of a friend who would receive a foreign car worth over 200 million as a gift.

As expected, the more money is spent, the more thrilling it is.
