How can I justify myself as a Magnate if I don't indulge myself?

Just after stepping out of the airport, Gu Heng received a call from Lu Yuan.

The airport's ground staff was very thoughtful, dragging Gu Heng's luggage behind him, and by the looks of it, she intended to see Gu Heng into the car before she would rest easy.

As per Lu Yuan's instructions, just as Gu Heng arrived, he saw a middle-aged man approach him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Gu?"

Gu Heng was still on the call with Lu Yuan when he heard that voice. Lu Yuan then said to Gu Heng, "You see Chen, don't you? He's my butler. Just follow him and you'll be fine."

"Okay," replied Gu Heng and then promptly hung up the phone.

"Hello Mr. Gu, I'm President Lu's butler. You can simply call me Chen like President Lu does. President Lu is waiting for you in the car, please follow me." Your journey continues on empire

Coming from a nouveau riche background, even Gu Heng knew to save time and effort by hiring Xu Ying as his personal secretary; so for a genuine magnate like Lu Yuan to have a butler was utterly ordinary.

Taking the luggage from the ground staff, Chen invited Gu Heng with the poise of a hotel bellhop.

Gu Heng thanked the ground staff and then began to follow...

...

After walking for less than a minute, Gu Heng saw a stretched Hummer taking up three parking spaces, lying across the outdoor parking lot.

"Mr. Gu, please."

Chen opened the door of the stretched Hummer and respectfully invited Gu Heng to board.

Gu Heng, without fuss, stepped right in.

It wasn't until he was in the car that Gu Heng could see the interior decoration of the stretched Hummer.

Because the windows were tinted for privacy, the inside was dim, and because Lu Yuan hadn't turned on the light, Gu Heng couldn't see very clearly...

But even without a clear view, it was still an eye-opener...

From the outside, it appeared to be just a strangely designed car...

After all, compared to the typical three- to five-meter-long vehicles on the streets, this 12-meter stretched Hummer was undoubtedly an oddity.

But inside the car, there were only four words to describe it:

A world of its own...

It wasn't so much about luxury as it was that the Hummer had broken the very concept of "car"...

All the back seats had been removed and replaced with a leather sofa...

Besides that, there was also a dedicated liquor cabinet, and even the carpets were extraordinarily soft.

This could no longer be called a car cabin...

But rather a mobile lounge...

This was the everyday life of the wealthy with true heritage...

Unlike himself, who, despite nearing a net worth of two hundred million, could only enjoy superficial things...

As Gu Heng reflected on this, Lu Yuan, seated comfortably on the sofa, smiled at him and said, "What are you daydreaming about? Come, take a seat."

Gu Heng didn't put on airs, and honestly said, "This is the first time I've seen a car interior set up like a lounge."

Lu Yuan gave a chuckle upon hearing this: "This car was usually used for receiving company guests. Just yesterday, after hosting some clients, I had the driver bring it back home. I had planned to pick you up myself, but considering you must be exhausted from the long helicopter ride, I thought better of it and let Chen choose this one.

Its grade might be a little lower, but it's more comfortable to sit in."

Gu Heng: "???"

"This is considered a lower grade?"

"It's good enough for general clients, but for picking you up, it falls short."

Hearing Lu Yuan deliberately elevate his status, Gu Heng rolled his eyes and directly took a seat on the sofa next to him.

"Even if you had sent an electric tricycle to pick me up, I'd feel it suited my status."

Accepting the glass of red wine Lu Yuan passed to him, Gu Heng eyed the car's interior and said with a hint of envy, "I'd like to get a car just for pure enjoyment too, something with a bit of showiness for picking up people."

"What's so difficult about that? I'm in the car dealership business. If you like, I can arrange one for you. This 12-meter Hummer H8 can be yours for less than 3 million, and then you just spend a few million more on customizing the interior to your liking, whatever design you prefer."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng's eyes brightened.

"It's that simple?"

"It's just a car, how troublesome could it be?

If you really decide on it, I'll have someone arrange it for you. Including customization, it will take at most two months to be delivered. If your customization isn't too complex, I estimate it could be done in two weeks."

"Deal! Have someone arrange one for me, and for the customization, I don't have any particular requirements. Just make it comfortable. Will a budget of ten million be enough?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan looked at Gu Heng in surprise; he knew Gu Heng was rich—after all, no one could pay ten million in full for Big Bull without being wealthy...

But quite obviously, he had underestimated him...

Considering spending another ten million on customizing a stretched Hummer after already having spent ten million...

Such financial capacity clearly did not belong to just any ordinary rich second-generation...

If he had known that Gu Heng had only spent four or five days on Hong Kong Island and had already spent over five million, his estimation of Gu Heng's wealth would have risen another notch...

"With a budget of ten million... your customized car would certainly rank among the tops in the country, and I reckon I'm going to make a nice profit from you."

Gu Heng chuckled along, understanding the situation quite clearly.

Lu Yuan had made it clear; he was in the car dealership business...

Having him arrange a customized car had already spared Gu Heng a great deal of trouble, so it was only natural for Lu Yuan to make money off of him.

Previously buying a supercar for ten million had been a bargain, so it was only fair to let him make some profit this time...

...

...

And so, the two chatted in the car...

Gu Heng shared his experiences on Hong Kong Island with Lu Yuan...
