Firstly, he didn't want to be too flashy, and secondly, his girlfriend Su Ruochu wanted to have a more pure campus life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they had both graduated, buying a car should be on the agenda.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan wasn't a born masochist after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having money but not buying a car, squeezing onto public buses and taking taxis every day, that would be sick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hailed a taxi and sat in the back seat. Chen Fan called Feng Pojun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Feng, remember that car I asked you to keep an eye on last time? When you have time, go to the dealership and reserve it for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, the one I mentioned to you last time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other end of the phone, Feng Pojun said the car was in high demand, and if Chen Fan wanted to get it immediately, he might have to pay a premium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't mind, \"It's fine to pay extra, as long as it's not too ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun asked Chen Fan about the acceptable price range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan thought for a moment and gave a number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as it doesn't exceed 750,000 yuan, you can go ahead and get it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The taxi driver in front glanced at Chen Fan, who was on the phone, through the rearview mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sneered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another show-off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about buying a car for 750,000 yuan while riding in a taxi. Why not just say you're buying a million-yuan Mercedes? What a braggart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Pojun was very efficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just two days, he had sorted out all the paperwork for Chen Fan and drove the car directly into Yuhai Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it was an immediate purchase, the car cost 30,000 yuan more than the original price, bringing the final purchase price to 720,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The good thing was that the 4S store would help with all the paperwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the car reached Chen Fan, even the license plate was already installed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying Su Ruochu downstairs to look at the car parked at the entrance, Chen Fan smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Land Cruiser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, the reason for choosing a Land Cruiser as the first car wasn't because it was particularly good or luxurious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because this car represented one of Chen Fan's dreams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, when he was in college, his favorite car was the Land Cruiser, but he was so poor then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forget about a Land Cruiser, he couldn't even afford an Alto.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he had mentioned to Su Ruochu more than once that when they got married and had money, the first car they would buy would definitely be a Land Cruiser. Not for any other reason, but to fulfill a dream he had when he was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu was very supportive of his idea. They even made the best of their poor situation by putting a savings jar at home, grandly calling it the \"car fund storage jar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Su Ruochu never got to see Chen Fan buy a car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, when Chen Fan became wealthy and could afford more expensive and luxurious cars, he never bought a Land Cruiser.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps in Chen Fan's mind, with Ruochu gone, his dream was gone too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, Chen Fan had money, and his girlfriend Su Ruochu was by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So naturally, his first car would be the one he had longed for in his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Land Cruiser 4500 that Chen Fan bought was a Middle Eastern version, one of those parallel imports from abroad into China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even by future standards, this car was quite imposing and wild.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking around the car, Chen Fan beckoned to Su Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get in, your man's taking you for a spin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu giggled but obediently sat in the passenger seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they drove out of the community, the security guard at the gate was visibly stunned by the car and unconsciously stood up straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed the security guards in this community had good taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Driving this car could make them so awestruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he drove a Ferrari, would they salute him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they sped along the road, Chen Fan said to Su Ruochu with a smile, \"The advantages of this car aren't apparent on city roads. Next time, I'll take you off-roading.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu asked curiously, \"Why did you suddenly decide to buy a car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"We've both graduated. I can't have you squeezing onto buses with me every day, can I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, aren't we going back home in a few days? We'll drive this car back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it? Do you like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu nodded. She didn't actually know much about cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just happy because Chen Fan was happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why did you choose this car? Don't rich people usually buy Mercedes or BMWs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan laughed, \"Well, that's a long story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's related to a dream I had with a girl in my previous life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu pouted, \"Fine. If you don't want to tell me, forget it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan just smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, Chen Fan met with Chen Wenchao again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Chen Wenchao's attitude towards Chen Fan was noticeably more cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already seen the documents sent by the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was greatly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never imagined that the young man sitting across from him, only in his twenties and dressed in ordinary clothes, had not only created Go Navigation Home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also founded the very popular online Medal Club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, what the company headquarters valued most was that Chen Fan was actually the founder of Feifan Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a new internet company that had suddenly emerged in the past two years, Feifan Technology had made a significant impact in the internet field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since its establishment, the company had released two products and one game, all of which were bestsellers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was indeed a remarkable achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Baidu had to take it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this meeting, Chen Wenchao put aside his arrogance and focused on the negotiations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained to Chen Fan that he had reported his conditions to the headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After careful consideration, the headquarters was willing to increase the acquisition price to 20 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was already nearly double the original offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed plenty of sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Fan remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still had only one condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything less than 50 million yuan was not up for discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Chen Wenchao feeling helpless, with all his negotiation skills but nowhere to apply them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the meeting, Chen Wenchao gritted his teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"25 million yuan. This is already very sincere.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Fan just smiled and said, \"My conditions won't change.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Fan about to leave, Chen Wenchao couldn't help but speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Chen, I hope you can reconsider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is 25 million yuan. As soon as the contract is signed, you'll achieve financial freedom.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, if we continue to be at an impasse, our company isn't without other acquisition targets to consider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan still wore that smiling face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's alright, I can wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can go talk to the founders of other similar products first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Fan speak like this, Chen Wenchao suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy seemed certain that Baidu was determined to acquire Go Navigation Home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he was making such outrageous demands and inflating the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this meeting, the two didn't meet for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan naturally wouldn't just wait for his call. That day, he drove his new car, taking Su Ruochu back to their hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was their first trip home after graduation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, there was also a very important matter to attend to on this trip home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the meeting of both sets of parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had decided to get engaged.\u003C\u002Fp>",1331,"2026-06-05T15:06:58.894Z",1,"novelbin.me","31961c073b818640fa96348d5cc6da6f36dfabf252cfed61ab1c4a729cd1693d","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-513","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-511",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
