Chapter 322 - 155: Isn’t Spending Money Supposed to Make You Happy?
```
"Gu Heng, did you really drop nearly two hundred million on supercars?"
Fu Songyang hadn’t been browsing the auto show, but instead had been negotiating with the brand manager from Koenigsegg the whole time. When Jiang Wen vividly described how Gu Heng had splurged 1.86 billion to buy 15 supercars and six Maybach S680 business vehicles, treating the auto show as if it were a supermarket for a wholesale spree, he couldn’t help but ask...
He knew that Gu Heng had inherited a large cash estate...
So Gu Heng being able to fork out two billion, didn’t really surprise Fu Songyang...
But still!
The other members of the HAC club didn’t know, did they?
Two billion might not represent their entire net worth, but that’s still two billion in cash flow...
In Hua Country, apart from those top-tier tycoons, how many people can just casually pull out two billion in cash? If that money had been spent on business investments, they might have been able to understand...
But to spend two billion all at once on over twenty cars...
It’s not just the common folk who can’t understand, even these sports car enthusiasts are baffled...
Gu Heng saw the astonishment in the eyes of HAC club members like Lin Zhiying, but had no intention to explain...
The so-called pursuit of pleasure...
Isn’t it all for the sake of happiness?
Whether others understand or not doesn’t affect him at all; as long as he is happy, that’s enough.
To put it bluntly, the system’s role is to let him spend money for happiness.
He was thrilled and overjoyed upon purchasing those cars.
With that thought in mind, Gu Heng smiled at Fu Songyang and said, "Yeah, but there were few eye-catching cars at the Capital International Auto Show this time, so I bought less. When I have time, I plan to attend the Geneva Auto Show and aim to buy a few limited edition models."
Clearly, he had a bunch of people tailing him with a purpose, and here he was asking straightforwardly, only to get a bunch of beating around the bush...
Tong Shenglong realized that Gu Heng disliked the formalities but couldn’t help but engage in a couple more pleasantries before finally getting to the point, "The thing is, I have a proposition to discuss with you..."
"Just get to the point, Director Tong."
Seeing that the man finally moved on to the main issue, Gu Heng focused intently on his eyes.
"Here is the matter, your purchase of so many luxury cars is a first not only for domestic auto shows but even on a global scale...
As an exhibition organizer, we are very happy to have Mr. Gu, such a generous and spirited client, at our auto show. This action might be just a casual move for you, Mr. Gu, but for us, it is a fantastic piece of public relations material.
So I have a small favor to ask..."
Gu Heng listened to Tong Shenglong’s buttering up, almost elevating him to the heavens, his expression still unfazed as he waited for what was to come next.
Seeing Gu Heng’s silence, Tong Shenglong no longer beat around the bush and said outright, "I hope that when you sign the purchase contracts with these car dealers, you could do so in a public signing event...
We would provide the venue, and all you need to do is answer a few simple questions from the journalists invited by our auto show afterward.
To express our sincerity, we, the organizers, and the car dealers negotiated half an hour ago, and they all agreed to offer you a discount between 10% and 5%!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Heng mused for a moment...
He had already drawn enough attention for today, originally planning to slip away quietly...
But he hadn’t expected Tong Shenglong, in a bid to get some publicity for the auto show, to serve up such a hefty perk on a silver platter...
A discount of 10% and 5% might not seem substantial...
But that depends on the base figure...
Gu Heng was about to spend 1.84 billion, and by this calculation, he would save roughly over ten million, the equivalent of getting the price of a top-tier supercar for free...
Although for Gu Heng, who had the system foot the bill, that ten million wasn’t a big deal, whether discounted or not, his balance would still increase in the end. But it was enough to show Tong Shenglong’s sincerity...
