Hollywood Zenith - Chapter 5
“Welcome.” Samuel and Darren walked into the store. There was already someone waiting for them. Darren had informed the owner earlier.
The store owner arranged for the prettiest saleswoman for the job as he knew the young master of the Wintringham family liked the such treatment.
The redhead saleswoman had heard about his excessive spending and was ready to make him cough up a pretty penny today. She was also relieved when she was them entering the shop.
The moment she saw Samuel, her eyes brightened; these people were trained and could see through a person’s background by their appearance. No logos, designer shoes, and unrestrained movements; everything about Samuel screamed money!
” Isn’t that watch from the Jaeger-LeCoultre diamond collection? not rich, Uber wealthy!” She thought. That watch alone was worth a few of their high-end cars.
She also had a good habit: reading the newspaper every morning. She could easily guess the young man’s identity. This young master had caused quite a fire recently.
” Master Wintringham, Master Rothschild, what would you like to see today?” She said respectfully. She had to put her best foot forward after her inappropriate staring.
“Hmm…Bugatti, Pagani, Spyker, just show me the best models.” Samuel was not surprised anymore. He had discussed with Darren and mostly narrowed down the car’s company.
This store didn’t deal with exclusive cars; they had most brands, and customers could also order desired items for a fee.
Hearing Samuel’s answer, the sales beauty’s eyes became radiant. It was definitely big business!
These branded cars were hard to sell, it would be a good week if they managed to push out one of these big boys, or else it would either gather dust or the store boss would use them. He was also a car fanatic.
As for other brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche were all available, but the base price was fairly low by their standards. But that made them popular because of their reach; most people went with these brands.
But Bugatti, Pagani, and Spyker were different. Spyker was relatively cheaper, but still, the price was mostly around 600,000 US dollars.
“Young master, please come with me. By the way, my name is Daliya. I am honored to serve you.” She smiled sweetly and introduced herself to Samuel.
Darren was simply ignored, which made him so angry. Why? Because as long as he came out with Samuel, he didn’t have a sense of existence.
” Hello, I am also a second-generation elite. Darren fucking Wintringham from LA. Is it really okay for you to ignore me like this?” Darren keeps mumbling to himself while following behind. He never wanted to come out with Samuel again!

” Young master, I will introduce this Spyker C12 Zagato to you. This car is a supercar jointly created by Spyker and ZAGATO. With 24 mass-produced vehicles worldwide, it is perfect for a collectible sports car.
There are only 7 vehicles in the U.S., 10 in Europe, 4 in the Asia-Pacific region, 1 in South America, and 2 in the world auto show parade. You can feel the rarity of these numbers.
As for the specs, it has a 6-liter W12 engine with a maximum output of 500 horsepower, an all-car aluminum alloy frame, 100 kilometers per hour acceleration in 3.8 seconds, top speed of 200 miles per hour.

Our big boss directly ordered this car as a show car to attract customers.” She gave a detailed report. It showed that she had experience as the numbers followed out of her tongue like magic.
” Good; what is the price?” Samuel asked.
” The standard price at that time was 600,000 USD, but the boss also ordered an all-crocodile leather interior and got it around 900,000 USD.
If you are interested, I can report it to the boss. I believe the boss will definitely be willing to let the young master become its new owner.” She said with a smile.
While Samuel admired the car, Darren had other plans.
“Tsk, tsk” After listening to the introduction, he gently caressed the paint. He was almost drooling, looking at the slick black finish. Samuel was also very tempted, but it didn’t hurt to look at other models.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m
“Very good car, but please show me the other ones too.”
“As you wish. Please move over here.” Daliya led the two young men to the other end of the exhibition hall. A domineering and stylishly designed supercar lay there.
” Young master, this is the Pagani Zonda La Nonna; it is a prototype that took after the 1999 Zonda model. However, it is different from the 1999 C12’s 394 horsepower. It is equipped with a 6.0L liter V12 first concept engine and is a beast with 600 horsepower.
The price of the car is 700,000 US dollars. Since it is a prototype car, its possession is also very scarce. It is also a collectible supercar.”
The last one was a Bugatti EB118.
” Young master, The most interesting thing about this car is that it has a custom-built Volkswagen engine. W18 engine, which produces 555 hp and 479 of torque. The EB 118 W18 engine has three banks of six cylinders with a sixty-degree offset between each cylinder bank.
This is a large luxury two-seater convertible sports car. The price is set around 750,000 US dollars.”
After seeing all three cars, Samuel made a quick comparison. Pagani and Bugatti were beautiful, but they didn’t reach the impressive level he was hoping for. But he couldn’t just let go of them.
As for the Spyker C12 Zagato, he was really moved by it. Nothing too fancy, but it also looked durable to him.
” Ask your boss, I want to buy all three of them, but first, I want to take the Spyker home,” Samuel said.

Wood Avenue, inside the largest car dealership
Samuel and Darren were sitting in the VIP room chatting, two cups of coffee on the table, and they caught up.
” I thought you didn’t like flashy cars. Now you are buying three of them at once?” Darren asked.
” Wasn’t someone who said I got to try it? Besides, I have been meaning to start my car collection someday.” Samuel shrugged. It’s not like he lacked any money, and he would have even more in a few months.
But Darren was thinking something else; he really liked the Spyker. He hoped his little brother would give it to him as a gift!
” You know how much I helped you, right? I was just saying you will probably return to London in a few days, right? If you do that, don’t you think someone had to look after these beauties?” He didn’t ask Samuel directly because he was embarrassed.
“That can never happen. Cars and women are not allowed to be borrowed. That is my only rule in life.” Samuel flat-out rejected him. Maybe in the future, but he couldn’t risk giving him such fast cars; who knew what this idiot would hit with it!
Darren was lost for words. It was awkward for a few seconds, but Daliya interrupted them.
“Young master, I have communicated with the boss. 5 million US dollars and three cars belong to you.” She was about to make a big commission if this deal went through.
The price was not low, but it was fully understandable. Two of these cars were in short supply, while one was so scarce that only twenty-four were made.
He resolutely signed the car purchase contract and wrote out a personal check. It took them a few hours, but the Spyker was ready for the road, and the dealership gave him a fancy plate that went along with the beast.
As for the other two, Samuel gave out his address and ordered delivery.
With everything done, Samuel drove the Spyker C12, followed Darren’s Escalade, and returned. He decided not to test the limit, but the first impression was perfect.
