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

Gu Heng didn't even think about it and agreed immediately, "Sure, I've been wanting Brother Lu to sell me his LaFerrari, but he stingily refused. If Brother Liu can get me one, I'm definitely in."

Gu Heng's purchase of so many supercars was partly to satisfy his own collecting obsession...

Some collect antiques and calligraphy, others collect various jewels and jewelry; he had no interest in those, so he simply became a supercar collector...

On the other hand, it was to save money...

If his investment in the racetrack business was successful, he would definitely need to continuously pour money into it...

As for how to reward himself, in Gu Heng's current view, other than buying cars or houses, he had no other outlets...

On one hand, he satisfied his collecting obsession, on the other hand, he could promote his own business development...

It was the best of both worlds...

When Liu Wan saw how casually Gu Heng agreed, he was obviously taken aback, "Are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious. If Brother Liu doesn't trust me, we can sign a purchase contract another day, I'll pay whatever it costs, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wan and Fu Songyang exchanged glances...

The domestic price of a LaFerrari is probably upwards of 30 million, and the Koenigsegg Gemera is estimated to be no less expensive...

By this count, was Gu Heng going to spend over a billion just on cars?

Although there's always news about how many luxury cars are in which tycoon's garage, in actuality, people who have garages worth over a billion are extremely rare in the country...

It was amidst these various thoughts that several staff members brought a document to the group.

The staff member standing in front of Gu Heng whispered, "Mr. Gu, this is today's investment intention letter. If you are interested in any of the projects, you can check the box for that project."

Gu Heng saw that Lin Ran and the others took the intention letter, so he followed suit and took it as well...

He then started reading it, bored, line by line...

A few minutes later...

As the leaders of the municipal department took their seats on the podium, the entire press hall suddenly quieted down. Except for a few journalists with the right to take photographs and interviews, almost everyone uninvolved was asked to leave...

Gu Heng's seat with Lin Ran and others was in the fourth row...

So while the leaders were speaking, Lin Ran, Fu Songyang, and the others were chatting softly to one another...

"It seems that Yangcheng City Government really values this symposium; I thought at most the head of the Housing Bureau would come to preside, but I didn't expect Deputy Mayor He to be here," Lin Ran said.

Fu Songyang: "It's normal, the twenty or so projects together are worth 80 billion; it's impossible for them not to take it seriously."

Gu Heng, however, was lost in the fog listening to the leaders' speeches up on stage...

Seeing that no one else was clapping, he just followed suit and clapped along...

Lin Ran was right, the racetrack project was indeed left until last for discussion.

When Gu Heng heard the leaders from the Housing Bureau and the Cultural Tourism Bureau start talking about the racetrack project, he perked up a bit...

But that bit of perkiness lasted only a few minutes...

Gu Heng realized he really wasn't cut out for these formal occasions...

While Lin Ran and the others could discuss the leaders' speeches, he found he couldn't join in at all...

Twenty minutes later.

Following Deputy Mayor He's statement, "This symposium is now officially over. The 19 projects are officially launched. The municipal departments welcome all enterprises to eagerly invest and contribute to the development and construction of Yangcheng City,"

the lengthy session finally ended...

Seeing everyone stand up to applaud, a drowsy Gu Heng jolted awake and quickly stood up to join them...

He finally understood what it meant to 'sit on pins and needles'...

"Is it boring?"

Lin Ran, seeing Gu Heng's half-dead appearance, couldn't help but smile.

Gu Heng honestly nodded his head.

"You'll get used to it. If you really plan to do something with your business, you can't avoid these kinds of events in the future."

See that person chatting with Deputy Mayor He up front?

On hearing this, Gu Heng looked over.

"Xiaopeng Motors' Chairman He Xiaopeng, he's worth billions but still humbly sat for two hours, right?"

While everyone was talking, the staff member who had previously distributed the letters of intent came back over: "Mr. Gu, have you completed the letter of intent?"

"Oh, yes, it's done."

Gu Heng directly handed over the filled-out letter of intent to the staff member.

After watching the staff member leave, Gu Heng couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan, "Brother Lu, how much did you put for the expected investment share in the letter of intent?"

"5%, the government should release about 40% to 60%, I can't afford more than that. If I can reach 5%, it will break even if I get a few orders during the F1 races in the future."

Gu Heng's heart skipped a beat...

He then looked towards Fu Songyang: "Brother Yang, how about you?"

"I did 5% as well."

Seeing Gu Heng's expression, Lu Yuan said with a peculiar look: "How much did you fill in?" Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

Gu Heng: "50%"

...

Lu Yuan: "???"

Fu Songyang: "???"

Liu Wan: "???"

Fu Songyang's chubby face trembled: "Kid, are you really planning on taking all of the other shares?"

Gu Heng smiled sheepishly: "He asked me how much I intended, and I originally wanted 100%, but the letter only allowed a maximum of 50%, so I filled in 50%... Will the municipal department think I am just bluffing, and then it affects my subsequent investments?"

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly: "It won't affect much, there will be at least more than ten rounds of negotiations to come. But you really don't know anything."

"If you are really interested in investing in this project, I suggest you set up an investment company soon, find a professional manager to handle these matters for you, otherwise with your reckless actions, you'll definitely be eliminated in the upcoming negotiations."

Hearing this, Gu Heng nodded seriously...

He indeed needed a professional to handle things for him...

Setting up an investment company, hiring a group of people to work for him, and then reaping the benefits sounded good.

As for how to find this professional...

The image of Lin Ran suddenly appeared in his mind...

He wondered if Lin Ran had returned from the United States...

"Alright, let's go back for now, there will be a notification when the investment negotiations start, but it wouldn't be any sooner than a month from now."

Gu Heng: "A month later?"

"What else did you think?"

Gu Heng's face fell again...

He had thought that he'd be able to settle things quickly, even went as far as assembling a legal team...

But now Lu Yuan was telling him it wouldn't be for at least a month...

Wasn't he just getting ahead of himself?

Six lawyers in total, and the accommodation fees for these few days amounted to over a hundred thousand; it seems like he paid for them to take a trip to Yangcheng City at his own expense?

Seeing Gu Heng's downcast face, Fu Songyang asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Heng waved his hand listlessly: "It's nothing..."

Of course, he couldn't reveal such an embarrassing thing...

Setting up a company, he must set up a company!

Starting tomorrow!
