Can you be called a rich man if you don’t indulge yourself?

Chapter 156 Isn’t it for the sake of happiness to spend money?
"Gu Heng, did you really buy a supercar worth nearly 200 million?"

Fu Songyang did not visit the auto show, but was talking to the brand manager of Koenigsegg. After Jiang Wen described in vivid detail how Gu Henghao spent 1.86 million yuan to buy 15 supercars and 6 Maybach S680 commercial vehicles, treating the auto show as a shopping supermarket and buying them wholesale, he could not help but ask:
He knew that Gu Heng had inherited a large sum of cash.
So Fu Songyang was not too surprised that Gu Heng could come up with 2 million.
but!

The other members of the HAC club don't know.
2 million, it's not their entire fortune, but it's million in cash flow.
Apart from the top tycoons in China who can cash out 200 million yuan at any time, how many people can easily take out 200 million yuan in cash? If the 200 million yuan is spent on business investment, they can barely understand it.
But I spent 20 million yuan to buy more than cars at one time.
Not to mention that ordinary people can't understand it, even sports car enthusiasts like them find it difficult to understand
Gu Heng saw the surprise in the eyes of Lin Zhiying and other HAC club members, but he had no intention of explaining.
The so-called indulgence.
Isn't it just for fun?
Whether others understand him or not has no effect on him at all, as long as he is happy, that is enough.

To put it bluntly, the role of the system is to make him spend money to buy happiness.

I bought these cars myself and now I feel very happy.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng smiled and said to Fu Songyang, "Yes, but there were not many cars that caught my eye at the Beijing Auto Show this time, so I bought a little less. When I have time, I will go to the Geneva Auto Show and try to buy a few limited edition cars."

Fu Songyang shook his head helplessly: "I know you like sports cars, but that's not how you spend money."

2 billion
Even though it wasn't his own money, Fu Songyang couldn't help but feel distressed.
"It doesn't matter, just be happy."

Listening to Gu Heng's response, Fu Songyang just advised: "You still need to be more restrained. If you ask me, you should set up a financial management team to make a plan for you. If you spend money like this, you will eventually run out of money."

The words also hinted that the inheritance Gu Heng inherited would be spent sooner or later.
But it was just a brief hint, without going into detail.
He still understands the principle of talking to someone you have never met before.

If Gu Heng really only inherited a few billion, he certainly wouldn't spend it like this.
But is he?

Although I don’t know what the upper limit of the system is, it is definitely more than a few billion.
Although he thought so in his heart, Gu Heng also understood that Fu Songyang meant well, and nodded at him seriously.

At this moment, several men and women in suits came over. The leading man in a suit greeted Gu Heng and introduced himself as soon as he saw him.

"Hello, Mr. Gu. I am Tong Shenglong, a member of the board of directors of the China Machinery Industry Federation. I am currently serving as the general manager of the China Beijing International Auto Show."

Gu Heng didn't know what the Mechanical Industry Association was, but it sounded a bit impressive, so he shook hands with him and asked in confusion, "What does Director Tong want to talk to me about?"

Tong Shenglong laughed and said, "Mr. Gu bought a car worth nearly 2 million yuan at this auto show. As the person in charge of the auto show, of course I want to meet you."

Gu Heng smiled.
The more prestigious a person is, the more he will beat around the bush when speaking.
They came with a group of people to see me. It was obvious that they had something to ask. I asked them directly, but they didn't say anything nonsense.
Tong Shenglong could also see that Gu Heng didn't like to be polite, but he couldn't help but say a few polite words out of habit and then said, "It's like this, I came here to discuss something with you."

"Director Tong, just speak frankly."

Seeing that this guy finally got to the point, Gu Heng's eyes were also fixed on his eyes.

"It's like this, you bought so many luxury cars this time, which is the first case not only in domestic auto shows, but also in the world.
As the organizer of the exhibition, we are very happy that such a generous and magnanimous customer like you, Mr. Gu, has appeared at the auto show. This action may be a casual one for you, but for our auto show, it is a very good publicity topic.

So I have a humble request.”

Gu Heng listened to Tong Shenglong's bragging, as if he wanted to praise himself as high as the sky. His expression remained indifferent, and he waited quietly for what was to come.

Seeing that Gu Heng remained silent, Tong Shenglong stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I hope that when you sign the purchase contracts with these car dealers, you can sign them publicly.
The venue will be provided by us, and after signing the contract, you only need to answer a few simple questions from reporters invited by our auto show.

To show our sincerity, we had a discussion with these car dealers half an hour ago, and they all agreed to offer you discounts between 9% and 9.5%! "

Hearing this, Gu Heng hesitated for a moment.
I have been in the spotlight enough today, and I was planning to leave quietly.
But I didn't expect Tong Shenglong to offer such a big benefit all of a sudden just to promote the auto show.
9% off plus 9.5% off may not seem high.
But that depends on how big the base is.
Gu Heng had to spend 1.84 million, so he could save nearly million, which was the price of a top-notch supercar.
Although for Gu Heng, who had the system to pay for it, this 10 million was nothing, and his balance would increase in the end regardless of whether there was a discount or not, it was enough to prove Tong Shenglong's sincerity.
Besides, I have been watched by reporters now. I guess in a while, the Internet will start to expose what I did at the station today. So whether I sign the contract publicly or privately today, there are some advantages to signing it publicly.
It can prevent those trolls who hate the rich from saying that they are hired by the auto show.
When he thought of this, he said directly: "Okay, since Director Tong thinks it's better to sign the contract publicly, then let's sign it publicly."

"Then Mr. Gu, please come this way. We have already arranged the signing venue for you."

Tong Shenglong never thought that Gu Heng would refuse. After getting Gu Heng's consent, he directly started to invite
It can save more than 1000 million yuan. It's just a public contract. No normal person would choose to refuse.
And it's a win-win-win situation.
Gu Heng saved money.
The brand did some publicity.
As the general manager of the exhibition, I also made a lot of credit.
The signing venue that Tong Shenglong mentioned was actually a press conference room at the International Exhibition Center.
It is rarely used normally.
At this moment, Gu Heng was sitting on the podium, signing contracts one after another from major brands.
Almost every company had two copies of the document. Just signing it made Gu Heng's hands feel numb.
But this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is that after signing with each brand, I have to take photos with them in front of reporters.
Gu Heng couldn't refuse yet.
No matter which car you buy, you get a discount.
Even Ferrari, which has the smallest discount, has a 9.5% discount. I bought two supercars from Ferrari, with a total value of more than 1700 million yuan. After a 9.5% discount, it is only 85 yuan.
They spent 85 just for a simple promotion, which is comparable to a celebrity's commercial promotion.
After an hour, Gu Heng regretted agreeing to Tong Shenglong.
However, despite all the troubles, Gu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief after signing the contract with the last car dealer and paying off the car payment in full under the witness of the CCB staff.
This was the first time in his life that he felt that spending money could be such a tiring thing.
Seeing Gu Heng put down his pen, Tong Shenglong, who had been sitting on the sidelines, stood up and said, "I believe all of you media friends are very curious about how many cars Mr. Gu bought?

With Mr. Gu's permission, we can reveal a little to our media friends.

Mr. Gu spent 2.3 million yuan on this auto show.

As the organizer of this auto show, we sincerely thank Mr. Gu for his trust in us. "Speaking of this, Tong Shenglong stood up and led several executives in charge of this auto show to express their gratitude to Gu Heng.
But Gu Heng was confused by the price announced by Tong Shenglong.
After conversion, there is a discount of about 1500 million, which means that the total cost of 1.86 million before actually only needs to be paid 1.71 million. But unexpectedly, when it came to Tong Shenglong's mouth, it suddenly skyrocketed by 6000 million.
This price is almost the price of paying all the insurance, value-added tax and other things for these cars.
Now Gu Heng knows
In the past, the rich second generation and wealthy people on the Internet spent tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars on something, and it is estimated that most of them are exaggerated.
However, since he had accepted the favor, Gu Heng could only cooperate with them in the promotion.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng also stood up and politely responded to Tong Shenglong's thanks.
As Gu Heng stood up, applause broke out from the audience. The reporters, who had been unable to contain themselves, raised their cameras and started taking pictures of Gu Heng frantically.

These days, the rich second generation is traffic!
Xiao Wang's illegitimate child could inexplicably dominate the hot search for more than a week, not to mention Gu Heng's lavish spending of 20 million to buy more than top luxury cars.
Looking at the group of reporters in front of him who were frantically pressing the shutter button at him, Gu Heng was a little stunned.
If nothing unexpected happens, I should become famous after today, right?

But after thinking about it for a while, Gu Heng didn't think about it any more.
To be honest, Gu Heng is quite disgusted by the media's attention, because the Internet these days is too abstract.
Being famous is not a good thing at all.
I don’t plan to become an internet celebrity and make money from this, so I’m even more resistant to this.
However, he also knew that as his wealth grew, it would be unrealistic to keep a low profile.

The world looks big, but it is actually very small.

After all, there are only a few people standing at the top, and these people will definitely receive more attention.

I can keep a low profile by spending 200 million this time, but what about next time? What about the next time?
Do you always keep a low profile?
If you can't even enjoy spending money, then what's the point of indulging yourself?

When he thought of this, Gu Heng felt relieved. He did not hide anything when facing the reporter's questions. He answered them freely and it was not like he was facing the reporter's questions for the first time.
"Mr. Gu, I'm a reporter from Sina Entertainment. I just learned that you spent a total of 2.3 million yuan on these luxury cars. Sorry, I have some doubts about this number. After all, this amount is too huge.
So I would like to ask, Mr. Gu, was your consumption behavior this time spontaneous, or was it simply a show for the public at the auto show for marketing purposes? "

This question is stupid.
But when Gu Heng thought that this was a reporter from Sina, he was not surprised.
Although Tencent's news is often unreliable, it is still close to reality.
Sina's biggest product is Weibo.
Those who understand Weibo will understand.
For the sake of traffic, they dare to report anything.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng glanced at the female reporter from Sina and replied directly: "The documents I signed are still with me. If you want to see them after the interview, I can give you a few minutes to check them out.

As for whether it’s just a show.”

Gu Heng looked at Tong Shenglong and other top car dealers, and then continued in a joking tone: "Let's not talk about the fact that the organizer of the Beijing International Auto Show is supervised by government departments. Look at the car dealers who signed contracts with me today.
Koenigsegg, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and more than a dozen other internationally renowned car manufacturers.

Getting more than a dozen famous car dealers to cooperate with me in marketing hype? I don’t think I have the ability to do this. Do you think the CEO of Sina has this ability? "

Seeing the reporter who was speechless, Gu Heng was too lazy to argue with him any more and said calmly, "Use your brain when asking questions next time. Don't say I'm not interested in marketing. Even if I really did marketing, could I tell you in front of so many reporters?"

"next."

Seeing that Gu Heng was not holding back in his criticism, the reporters began to pay a little attention to the next questions they asked.

"I'm a reporter from Tencent News. I'd like to ask Mr. Gu what is the purpose of buying so many supercars? Is it just for collection or for investment?"

“There are three reasons for buying so many cars.

The first reason is that I am a supercar fan and I bought it for the experience and collection. As for investment, I don’t really have such an intention.

The second reason is also very simple. Among the cars I bought, there are 6 latest models of Maybach S680. The reason for buying these cars is just to use them as cars for company executives for convenient office use.

The third reason is also the most important reason.”

The reporters pricked up their ears and pointed their cameras at Gu Heng's face.
But Gu Heng spread his hands lazily and said, "The third reason is of course for happiness."

reporter:"???"

"It's just like shopping. Don't you buy things because you need them and because you're happy? There's actually not much difference between spending 200 million and spending 200 yuan to buy a car model. As long as you're happy, that's fine."

After that, Gu Heng said no more. He stood up and walked towards the exit on the other side of the rostrum, saying as he walked: "Let's end the interview here. I'm not a public figure. I just need to interview you briefly so that you can have something to write.

Remember to take a handsome photo of me.

You can write about me however you want, but if you find that I look ugly in your photos, beware that my legal team will come knocking on your door.”

Reporters are all full of questions
But what Gu Heng said actually made sense, and Gu Heng was not a public figure.
There's actually nothing good to interview.
The most important thing is that Gu Heng spent 2.3 million to buy 21 luxury cars.
When they thought of this, all the reporters started to sit down and scramble to edit their manuscripts, striving to upload the news as soon as possible to grab the attention and traffic.
