The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 159 The World's First Vehicle with the Sun God (4k)

Gu Heng just spent nearly an hour visiting the SSTP supercar club, most of which was spent in the supercar exhibition hall in the central hall.

Lamborghini, Ferrari, Koenigsegg, Bugatti, Apollo, Pagani, and many other top supercar brands from around the world—you can find almost any limited-edition model here.

"Mr. Gu, every boy dreams of owning a supercar."

Deng Zhihong asked with a smile, "I think you already have a goal in mind, right?"

"Indeed, we had a goal for a long time."

"I just don't know if there are any channels to purchase them."

Gu Heng nodded slightly and responded with a smile.

"Mr. Gu, please tell me."

"If it's a limited edition model that's already been released, and Chairman Gu wants to buy it, then we can only try to find a way through the secondary market."

"If it is a newly released limited edition model, we need to consider whether its various conditions meet the conditions for driving on domestic roads, whether it needs to undergo crash testing, etc."

Last night, Deng Zhihong indulged in sensual pleasures, behaving like a spoiled brat.

But when talking about work today, he appeared extremely calm and composed, demonstrating extraordinary professionalism.

"Brother Hong, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is a limited production of only 30 units worldwide. I saw in the news that it has just started accepting pre-orders worldwide. Is that true?"

Gu Heng didn't mince words and asked Deng Zhihong directly.

"Bugatti Chiron 300+?"

Deng Zhihong looked slightly surprised. He didn't expect Gu Heng to mention the top model in the global supercar field: "It is true. The 300+ has made significant improvements in appearance design and engine tuning based on the original Bugatti Chiron Super Sport. The performance has also increased from the original 1479 horsepower to 1578 horsepower."

"Can this car be made?"

Does it meet the domestic road conditions?

Gu Heng asked with a smile.

"It's definitely possible to do it."

“Bugatti has a showroom in our SSTP Supercar Club, and its manager can communicate directly with Bugatti headquarters. With our SSTP Supercar Club as a guarantor, eligibility to purchase is not a problem.”

"As for whether it meets the requirements for driving on domestic roads, if it were a newly released limited edition model from another brand, I might not be able to answer you immediately, but for this Bugatti Chiron 300+, it's highly likely that there won't be any problems."

"Because before it, the first-generation Chiron, Chiron Sport, and Chiron Super all had available models in China, and all of them met the conditions for being driven on Chinese roads, so there's no reason why the latest generation Chiron 300+ wouldn't meet the requirements."

At this point, Deng Zhihong paused, a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Chairman Gu, do you really want to get the Chiron 300+?"

Deng Zhihong said in a low voice, "Just getting the Chiron Super to land in China is already close to 8000 million. If we want to bring the Chiron 300+ back, the total price will probably be close to a small goal."

"fine."

"It's a bit expensive, but it's a bit expensive."

"Limited edition supercars tend to hold their value quite well."

"Just consider it a collectible."

Gu Heng smiled, his expression remaining calm and composed, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever due to Deng Zhihong's offer.

At this moment, the others sitting around Gu Heng and Deng Zhihong felt a slight chill run down their spines as they listened to their conversation.

A top-of-the-line supercar worth nearly a small fortune was described by Gu Heng as merely "a bit expensive"?
If it weren't for Gu Heng's brilliant performance last night and their knowledge of his substantial wealth, they might have mistaken him for a show-off.

"Chairman Gu, if you're sure you want to do it..."

“Then I’ll contact the person in charge of the Bugatti showroom and have him come over to discuss this with you in detail.”

"As far as I know, since the Bugatti Chiron 300+ officially opened for pre-orders worldwide, there have been no successful transactions yet. If you can get your hands on this Chiron 300+, you will be the world's first Chiron 300+ owner!"

In the end, Deng Zhihong inexplicably became somewhat agitated.

Even though the SSTP Supercar Club's exhibition hall is filled with countless top-tier supercars, those priced at nearly 100 million yuan are still very few and far between.

As a super car enthusiast, Deng Zhihong's main and side businesses are both related to automobiles. If he can help facilitate the transaction of the world's first Bugatti Chiron 300+, it will make him feel very accomplished and will also greatly benefit his career development.

"Let him come."

Gu Heng nodded slightly: "If the price and conditions offered by Bugatti are suitable, I hope to complete the car purchase transaction as soon as possible before I leave Zhonghai."

"Chairman Gu, the price and terms will definitely be good."

Deng Zhihong was very confident: "Our SSTP Supercar Club is currently the top club in Asia, bringing together almost all supercar enthusiasts in Asia. Unless Bugatti wants to sever ties with us in the future, they will never dare to play tricks on us."

“We’ll discuss the Bugatti Chiron 300+ in more detail after the Bugatti representative arrives.” Gu Heng then changed the subject: “Does Brother Hong have any connections for the Apollo IE?”

"Mr. Gu, are you planning to buy two cars at once?"

Deng Zhihong was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused.

"Let's take turns driving."

Gu Heng said in a relaxed tone: "From what you just said, the time required from ordering to delivery of the Bugatti Chiron 300+ should not be short, so I plan to get another supercar with a faster delivery speed to play with first."

numb!

Completely numb!

The way everyone looked at Gu Heng was as if they were looking at a monster.

They're both from wealthy families, so why is there such a huge difference between them?
When did Apollo, the sun god, become a backup option?

Is this still China?

Are they still in the country?
Mr. Gu, why don't you stop acting!
Hurry up and put that cloth on your head!

"Chairman Gu, the Apollo IE is a limited edition of only 10 units worldwide."

"The Golden Dragon we just saw in the showroom is from the collection of our club's Chairman Tang. Of the ten known Apollo IE cars, only the Purple Dragon and Silver Dragon remain unsold."

"If you want to purchase the Apollo IE, you can only choose between the Purple Dragon and the Silver Dragon. Then I will contact the Apollo brand headquarters for you to see if they are willing to make a purchase."

Deng Zhihong took a deep breath and then briefly explained the situation of Apollo IE to Gu Heng.

"Do you have a photo?"

Gu Heng inquired.

"some."

"These are all real photos, but there aren't many of them."

Deng Zhihong nodded, reopened the tablet in his hand, and then accessed the system to retrieve the photos.

Only 10 units will be produced worldwide, which means there will be 10 different colors.

The King Long that Gu Heng just saw in the showroom was absolutely stunning under the sunlight; it truly lived up to its reputation as the "Sun God."

"Zirong, please."

"Could you please help me get in touch with them, Brother Hong?"

"If possible, I hope to order a car as soon as possible."

Gu Heng could only choose between purple and silver.

He had just bought a white Rolls-Royce Cullinan, so choosing silver would be somewhat redundant. Besides, supercars are all about being flamboyant and individualistic, and purple is definitely more eye-catching and has more charm.

“Things are valued for their rarity. The Purple Dragon and Silver Dragon are the only two Apollo IEs left in the world that haven’t been sold yet, so the price shouldn’t be less than 4000 million.” Although Deng Zhihong knew that Gu Heng had a huge amount of cash flow, he still reminded Gu Heng out of professional ethics.

"acceptable."

Gu Heng nodded, his expression calm.

"it is good."

"Then I'll take care of contacting them for you."

Looking at Gu Heng in front of him, Deng Zhihong couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Today seems to be the highlight of his career.

From Hongqi state gifts to Rolls-Royce Cullinan, and from Bugatti Chiron 300+ to Apollo IE Purple Dragon, the total transaction amount has approached 1.5 million yuan.

Even though most of them were intended purchases, it was still a remarkable achievement.

"Chairman Gu, the official representative from Bugatti is on their way."

Deng Zhihong said to Gu Heng, "Let's sign the purchase contracts for those two commercial vehicles and the Rolls-Royce Cullinan first, and then I'll contact the Apollo brand headquarters for you and see if they can send someone over today. I'll try my best to minimize the hassle for you."

"no problem."

Gu Heng also hoped it would be as soon as possible, so naturally he had no objections.

Both parties reached an agreement: Deng Zhihong would be responsible for printing the contract, while Gu Heng would simply sign it.

After Gu Heng had signed all the purchase documents for the Rolls-Royce Cullinan and the two minivans, the official representative from Bugatti arrived.

The two sides resumed negotiations. Meanwhile, through Deng Zhihong's matchmaking, an executive from the Apollo brand happened to be on a business trip in China Overseas. After hearing that someone was interested in purchasing Zilong, this executive was directly dispatched by Apollo headquarters.

……

Night quietly falls, and the city gradually sheds its daytime hustle and bustle.

Yugu Bar is located downstairs from the W Hotel on the Bund.

The melodious jazz music surrounded her ears as Jiang Ruan sat by the bar, her delicate, fair face flushed with a hint of wine.

He held a wine glass in his left hand and a phone in his right.

The screen played a series of videos, all of which were news reports about [Heng Wang].

"Spending nearly 60 million in one night, that's outrageously extravagant!"

"What I really want to know is whether those female internet celebrities have all gotten off the ship in the end?"

"Last night, [Hengwang]'s following list was always 0, but today it suddenly became 7, with Yangyang, Bingbing, Xinxin, Yaya, Lili, and Shuyue Shuyu all on the list. Can you guess why?"

"I really don't understand. Aren't these female internet celebrities afraid of ruining their careers by doing this? After this is exposed, will there still be big spenders giving them gifts? Isn't this a case of losing more than you gain?"

"There are tons of female internet celebrities who create couple pairings online. Do you think it's hindering their ability to make money through live streaming? On the contrary, their popularity is only increasing. If big spenders who want to meet up offline know about this, they'll just spend even more money on virtual gifts. But big spenders who don't want to meet up offline won't care at all!"

"Can the King Heng's body handle having seven women in one night? He'd probably cramp up even if he used his hands, wouldn't he?"

"A female version of Russian Roulette? Just thinking about it is exciting!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't disturb my resolve! I just decided to abstain from sex yesterday!"

……

Jiang Ruan not only watches videos, but also enjoys reading comments.

The more I look at it, the more depressed I feel.

A full 24 hours have passed since last night.

But Gu Heng didn't send her a single message. Even when she sent him a message at noon, he didn't reply.

As darkness fell and there was still no news of Gu Heng, she couldn't stay in the hotel any longer, so she went out and wandered around the area. Finally, she came to this Yugu Qing Bar, intending to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

Jiang Ruan originally thought that there wouldn't be many people in the bar on a weekday, but she didn't expect that the number of people would increase significantly after eight o'clock.

Many men and women in suits came in groups, and they looked like white-collar workers who worked near the Bund or Lujiazui and came to relax after get off work.

A bar that can be located near the Bund must have a first-class environment.

Both the music and the lighting created a great atmosphere.

Jiang Ruan sat in front of the bar counter, her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings, her left foot resting on a bar stool, and her right foot lightly touching the ground.

A black Chanel pencil skirt paired with a French-style sky-blue shirt.

Her long, smooth, black hair was gently pulled back, and her delicate, fair face seemed to glow under the soft light. Coupled with her slightly melancholy expression, no man could resist such stunning beauty.

Men who considered themselves elites tried to strike up conversations, but without exception, they all left empty-handed.

However, even with so many cautionary tales, many elite men still choose to fly into the fire like moths to a flame, hoping to see if they have a chance to be one of the lucky ones.

"Sorry……"

Faced with numerous men trying to flirt with her, Jiang Ruan, who had originally intended to drown her sorrows in alcohol, was becoming increasingly annoyed. Just as she noticed another man approaching out of the corner of her eye, before she could even look up at him, the words of rejection had already slipped out of her mouth out of habit.

"Jiang Ruan?"

However, before Jiang Ruan could finish speaking, the person immediately called out her name.

Slightly drunk, Jiang Ruan paused for a moment, then looked up at the person who had come.

The other person was wearing a beige business suit. He was quite upright, tall, handsome, and energetic, looking very spirited.

Jiang Ruan stared at the man before her, stunned for a long while, before asking uncertainly, "Zhou Xun?"

"I never expected that our school beauty, Jiang, would still remember me."

When the man heard Jiang Ruan call his name, his smile became even brighter: "I really didn't expect to meet you here."

“You were the only top scorer in our county to get into Tsinghua University that year, and we were classmates. How could I not remember you?”

Jiang Ruan smiled; it was a nice feeling to meet an old friend in a foreign land.

At this point, Jiang Ruan looked him up and down carefully, her tone slightly wistful: "Zhou Xun, you've really changed a lot since you were in school with us."

In Jiang Ruan's memory, Zhou Xun was very quiet and taciturn during high school. He was unkempt and always buried in his studies. He didn't have many friends and seemed rather aloof.

The Zhou Xun in front of me looks confident and sunny, and his clothes are very stylish. He is like a completely different person from the one in high school.

"I have indeed changed quite a bit."

"But Jiang Ruan, you haven't changed at all. You're still as beautiful and pretty as you were in high school."

Zhou Xun stared intently at Jiang Ruan, his gaze slightly intense.

Jiang Ruan is the dream of all the boys in the school, and also Zhou Xun's dream.

However, at that time, due to his family's poverty, he was always very self-conscious and dared not reveal his feelings at all.

However, even today...

Like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, he is already an outstanding graduate of a prestigious university and has become a project manager at a well-known domestic investment bank at a young age, with unlimited potential for the future.

After many years, I ran into my former crush from my student days again.

A lyric inexplicably flashed through Zhou Xun's mind.

'This must be a special kind of fate...'
