MTLNOVEL Chapter 139: Yangcheng City Municipal Engineering Symposium_2
But compared to his previous casual dress, he now looked at least five years more mature, possessing the appearance of a successful person...
The reporters had been waiting for this moment...
Even though they didn't recognize Gu Heng.
But anyone invited to today's symposium was certainly no ordinary person...
Several cameras pointed and shot towards Gu Heng.
Gu Heng remained outwardly calm at the scene, but his heart couldn't help beating wildly...
The ancestors of the Gu family for five generations were poor farmers, when had they ever been on TV?
Especially on such an occasion...
Wasn't each person around here part of the decision-making layer of a large company?
Although my assets might not be less than those people, my status is still somewhat lacking...
Compared to these folks, I'm like a lucky chap who's won a few hundred million in the lottery...
Just when I was feeling proud of my achievements and the Gu family's ancestors' graves must have been puffing out blue smoke, Lu Yuan, Liu Wan, and Fu Songyang stepped out of their cars and invited Gu Heng, "Let's go in, the symposium should be starting soon."
Gu Heng nodded and followed them towards the interior of the television station building...
As for the reporters who wanted to come up for interviews, they were all blocked by the bodyguards of the three...
Seeing this, Gu Heng thought of hiring bodyguards for himself too...
Never mind how practical bodyguards were, just having them clear the way during regular outings was enough to raise one's profile...
...
After entering the press hall, Gu Heng looked at the dense seats and couldn't help but ask Lu Yuan, "There must be two to three hundred seats, right? Are that many people attending the symposium today?"
Lu Yuan nodded, "The municipal department is placing great emphasis on this investment symposium, specifically showcasing several major projects in the first meeting for public display, and most local enterprises in Yangcheng City have been invited.
Putting aside whether they are interested in investing, they surely need to save face for the municipal department."
Hearing Lu Yuan say this, Gu Heng finally relaxed...
He had thought all two to three hundred people were competing for the rights to invest in the racetrack...
If that were the case, what's the point in me being here?
To put it plainly, I'm just a nouveau riche with money, how could I compete with these well-known entrepreneurs?
"Sirs, your seats are this way."
Hearing the staff, Gu Heng glanced at the seat with his name on the backrest...
Great, great...
I've come so far...
I even have a seat with my name on it at such an event...
"Let's sit down first. Given the scale of this symposium, the racetrack project will probably be discussed last. Prepare to listen to an hour of nonsense first," Lu Yuan took his seat, and Fu Songyang sat down next to Gu Heng...
"Gu Heng, how about joining my club?", Fu Songyang began chatting with Gu Heng soon after sitting down.
"I'm okay with it, but the other day I checked, the members of your HAC club are all tycoons worth billions. Won't I lower the standards of your club if I join?"
Listening to Gu Heng's teasing, Fu Songyang rolled his eyes and said, "You just believe that media nonsense. How many tycoons could there be? It's just a bunch of open-minded friends. Compared to ordinary supercar clubs, there is indeed some threshold.
But that threshold is nothing to you. Your two cars are worth 60 million each. Forget domestically; any supercar club in the world would welcome you with open arms if you wished to join."
"Alright then, but Brother Yang, you have to promise me one thing."
"What's that?"
Fu Songyang's expression suddenly became more serious...
Seeing his demeanor, Gu Heng couldn't help but criticize internally...
Why do these guys get so serious the minute they think you need something from them?
Lu Yuan does, and now Fu Songyang as well...
But Gu Heng was too lazy to ponder that, perhaps at a certain level of wealth, one's way of thinking changes. He then said, "It's not a big deal.
You're the exclusive dealer for Koenigsegg, right? I want to get a Koenigsegg, could you help me out?"
"That's all?"
"What else?"
"You should've said so earlier. It's just a car; I'll arrange it for you right away! Once you're in the capital, I'll have the Koenigsegg designer come over. Just tell him your custom requirements at that time. I'll help you through the channels; you'll save a lot."
Fu Songyang was in the business of dealing, of course, he wouldn't say no.
"Custom-built?"
Fu Songyang was taken aback, then said, "Of course, it has to be custom-built. Every Koenigsegg is made to order."
"How long will that take, approximately?"
"Normally, ordering a car takes about four years, or three years if you want it a bit faster. Though I think it'll cost more."
Gu Heng: "???"
Three years?
And that's the fast option?
This suddenly made Gu Heng lose interest in Koenigsegg...
Seeing Gu Heng's widened eyes, Fu Songyang could only say helplessly, "Handcrafted supercars are like that. If you ordered a Ferrari or Lamborghini, with full production, they might get it done in a few months.
However, if you really want it quickly, it's possible. Koenigsegg has a model, Gemera, coming to the domestic market. There will be an A-class car show in the capital city soon, with an exhibition car on display that you can buy.

But just to be clear, if you want it, you'll have to pay at least 15% over the asking price, possibly even more. After all, there are plenty of wealthy people in Hua Country."
When he heard there was a possibility, Gu Heng's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Okay, no problem if it's expensive, as long as it's quick!"
Liu Wan, sitting nearby and overhearing their conversation, smiled and interjected, "Gu Heng, you bought two cars from Lu Yuan and now you're buying from Song Yang. How about considering me for a change? Ferrari is also quite nice. What if I apply for a LaFerrari for you? LaFerrari has ready stock; that's fast."
