The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 122 Are you here to buy goods?
This is a rectangular wooden box, wrapped in smooth, top-quality raw wood on all sides, with a gold lid at the very top, printed with an abstract image of a nude woman.

"Huh?"

"They've even brought out the Golden Legend?"

"Oscar has brought out all his best stuff."

When Gao Zihang saw the moisturizing box taken out of the black box, his eyes widened slightly, and his tone was somewhat surprised.

"Chairman Gu, Gao Xiba Guayasamin No. 2."

"Only fifty boxes were produced worldwide, and the box in front of you is number 39."

Oscar spoke with a hint of pride: "There are 90 cigars in total, in six sizes, with 15 cigars in each size: Crown, Lance, Mentor, Pyramid, Century VI, and Robusto. And each cigar wrapper has a three-dot mark."

Oscar continued to introduce the dish while two chefs demonstrated its preparation.

Compared to the Cohiba 50th Anniversary box we just saw, this Cohiba Guayasamine No. 2 box looks more understated and simple.

"Mr. Ka, name your price."

Gu Heng was concise and to the point, directly asking about the price.

The status of Guayasamine No. 2 in the cigar world is well-known to those in the know.

Needless to say, encountering this is a stroke of luck.

Now that Gu Heng is at least an A10 level wealthy person, how could he not have some hidden treasures at home?

"One price, 550 million."

Oscar hesitated for a moment before offering this price.

"Seal the box."

"Next please."

Gu Heng raised his right hand, which was holding a cigar, and gestured to the two cigar servers without the slightest hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Oscar couldn't help but give a bitter smile: "Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my heart. Is it too late to back out now?"

"That's definitely too late."

Gu Heng shrugged and responded with a smile.

"Oscar, though the thousand sprigs have been scattered, they will return again. I'll collect them again when I have the chance to meet you in the future."

Wang Yan urged, "Be generous, don't be shy and act like a girl."

"Brother Yan, it's not that easy to mess with."

Oscar shook his head with a wry smile, then waved to another staff member not far away: "But since I've brought it out, I'll keep my word."

"This last box is a 40th anniversary commemorative edition of Cohiba, limited to 100 boxes worldwide."

"It is also the first edition of Cohiba BHK, with 40 cigars per box."

As Oscar introduced the product, the staff member took out another humidifier box from the black box.

This Cohiba 40th Anniversary Moisturizing Box is made of 40 pieces of stingray skin, and the Cohiba logo in the center is made of abalone shell, giving it a high-end and fashionable look.

"Chairman Gu, I'll consider today my day as making you a friend."

"If you like it, you can give me 500 million and take it."

Oscar gritted his teeth and offered the lowest price.

We didn't make any money on the first two boxes, so we won't miss out on this one.

Judging from Gu Heng's lavish spending, he is definitely a super client with a prominent status and strong financial resources, worthy of Gu Heng's heavy investment.

"Seal the box."

Gu Heng raised his hand slightly in acknowledgment, still exceptionally straightforward.

In just over ten minutes, nearly 1200 million yuan was spent on just three boxes of cigars.

At this moment, not only Jiang Ruan, but even Wang Wan Ning, who had been raised in luxury, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

Wang Wanning, who has been studying at an international school since childhood, is surrounded by countless classmates and friends who are also from wealthy families. Therefore, she is very familiar with this group of people.

Don't be fooled by the fact that many rich kids have a glamorous and attractive appearance.

They're always talking about luxury watches and cars, and staying in five-star hotels or Michelin-starred restaurants.

In reality, most people don't have much money in their pockets.

They are certainly richer than the average person, but certainly not as rich as they appear.

The seemingly sophisticated and high-class personas on social media are actually carefully crafted personas.

That might fool naive young girls, but more sophisticated women who are manipulative or gold diggers don't fall for it anymore.

Someone like Gu Heng, who spends tens of millions on cigars without batting an eye, would be someone that even Wang Yan, who is gradually taking over the family business, would have to think twice before acting so readily, let alone her classmates and friends.

However, Gu Heng's subsequent actions made Wang Wanning realize that she might have been a little too surprised.

Cigars are consumables after all, and limited editions worth over a million are ultimately rare.

Now, Gu Heng has his collection of valuables to keep hidden away.

Next, it's time to buy daily food supplies.

From Cohiba GR, Parter GR, Monte GR, Onyx GR, Switzerland 55th Anniversary, Juan 155th Anniversary, Book 140th Anniversary and many other limited editions.

Then there are many other relatively standard models such as the Cohiba BHK series, Cohiba Century series, Cohiba Beike series, Cohiba Shell series, and Monte Legend series.

Five boxes at the least, and ten boxes at the most.

They practically cleared out an entire wall in Oscar's cigar room.

In the end, not only Wang Wanning, but also Wang Yan and Gao Zihang were so shocked that their eyes widened.

When Gu Heng just spent nearly 1200 million yuan to buy those three boxes of cigars, Wang Yan and Gao Zihang weren't really surprised, because judging from the current market situation, those three boxes of cigars were basically considered to be in the realm of collectibles, just like antiques.

Even if it doesn't appreciate in value after you buy it.

If they want to sell it in the future, they can do so at any time.

But the cigars that Gu Heng bought later were purely consumables.

Spending tens of millions on daily food rations is really a bit too extravagant.

"Chairman Gu, it seems to me you've come here not to shop around, but more to buy goods."

Oscar was still shocked by Gu Heng's generosity when he looked at the mountain of cigar boxes in front of him, even though he had been running the cigar shop for more than six years.

“I have OCD and I can’t stand seeing an empty cigar cabinet.”

Gu Heng chuckled and replied, "Mr. Ka, calculate how much it costs, then give me your bank account number, and I'll have my bank secretary transfer it to you directly."

"Hold on."

"I might really need to calculate for a while."

Oscar looked at the mountain of cigar boxes in front of him and truly understood what it meant to have a happy kind of trouble. "It's okay, no rush."

Gu Heng gestured for Oscar to take his time with the bill, then turned to Wang Yan and said, "Brother Yan, I saw the brand guide that the shopping assistant gave me. I saw concept stores for Yilintang and Houshan Kiln here. Where shall we go for a stroll later?"

"I can do it."

Wang Yan said there was no problem.

After Gu Heng finished speaking, he turned to Gao Zihang and Zhao Yongtao and said with a smile, "Mr. Gao and Mr. Zhao, do you have anything to do later? If not, let's have a drink together later?"

Gu Heng naturally heard Gao Zihang's hint to Wang Yan.

Since Gao Zihang was interested in making friends, he was also willing to further enhance their relationship.

People often say that having more friends means having more options.

In fact, after experiencing many things over this period of time, Gu Heng realized that there was something wrong with that statement.

In this society, it's never about having more friends making life easier; rather, it's about having more friends because you've walked a good path.

"Right on my mind!"

Gao Zihang's eyes lit up, and he agreed without hesitation.

"no problem!"

"completely fine!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yongtao was overjoyed.

Judging from Gu Heng's many actions, he is definitely a powerful figure.

If someone takes the initiative to play with him, he thinks that's a huge favor.

"Brother Yan, let's go together tonight."

"You organize the gathering, and I'll cover all the expenses."

"If you have any particularly close friends, you can invite them along too."

"It's lively when there are many people."

Whether you're herding one sheep or a flock of sheep, it's all the same.

Since Gao Zihang and Zhao Yongtao had already been invited, Gu Heng decided to broaden the scope further.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"I'll definitely be paying for tonight's expenses!"

Wang Yan quickly waved his hand: "Chairman Gu, you are a guest. How can I let you spend money? If my father finds out, he'll beat me to death!"

"Definitely not!"

"Absolutely not!"

Seeing Wang Yan's resolute attitude, Gu Heng shook his head: "You organize the gathering first, we'll talk about the rest later."

"Okay!"

While everyone was talking, Oscar had also finished settling his accounts.

He walked over with the detailed list and handed it to Gu Heng: "Chairman Gu, the total price is 2017 million. I'll round it down to 2000 million."

"Give me your card number."

"I'll have the bank transfer the money to you right now."

Gu Heng glanced at the order form and, seeing that the quantity and unit price were correct, readily agreed.

He had no worries about whether the cigars he bought from here were genuine.

Putting aside the fact that Wang Yan was the middleman, if Oscar dared to sell counterfeit goods to Gu Heng, the amount alone would be enough to put him in jail for life, since cigars are subject to national control and fall under the category of tobacco.

"Mr. Ka, I'll give you an address later."

Gu Heng added Oscar on WeChat: "Can you mail all these cigars to Beichun for me? Is that alright?"

"no problem."

“We have professional channels.”

The two chatted briefly about the follow-up matters. During this time, Gu Heng called Luo Xiwen and asked her to transfer 2000 million yuan to the corporate account of Oscar Cigar House.

After exchanging money and goods, Gu Heng walked to the wall of cigars that looked like a mountain, picked out a few boxes of limited edition cigars and a few boxes of regular ones.

“I’ll take these and keep them for social engagements in Zhonghai these next few days.”

Gu Heng said to Oscar.

"Chairman Gu, please put these down."

Upon hearing this, Oscar raised his hand to stop Gu Heng, then turned and quickly walked to a glass cabinet, taking out two black briefcases from it.

"These two boxes contain forty cigars, all limited editions from various brands. I'm giving them to you for free; that should be enough for you."

Gu Heng glanced at Oscar, then at Wang Yan.

"Mr. Ka, are you busy tonight?"

Gu Heng suddenly asked Oscar.

"It's alright."

Oscar shook his head and answered truthfully.

"Tonight, Brother Yan is doing a poetry contest. Boss Gao and Boss Zhao are both going. Boss Ka, are you coming too?"

Gu Heng invited him with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Oscar paused for a moment, then quickly returned to the glass cabinet without saying a word and took out three more black briefcases.

"Mr. Gu, I'll treat you to eggplant tonight!"

This answer says it all.

Gu Heng smiled slightly, while Wang Yan said with a laugh, "With you, the King of Eggplants from Zhonghai, here, wouldn't it be embarrassing for us to bring our own eggplants? You don't even need to say it, they're all yours!"

"A bag, a bag, a must-have!"

Oscar readily agreed: "There will be plenty of eggplants tonight, so you can eat as many as you want!"

"Then it's settled."

Gu Heng sent Oscar his address in Beichun via WeChat: "Let's go check out some other stores. We'll contact you tonight."

"See you tonight!"

After everyone made their arrangements, Gu Heng, Wang Yan, and the others didn't linger there and left the cigar room...
