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

Chapter 422 - 194 Gu · Billionaire · Heng

After consulting Gu Heng’s views, representatives from Airbus and Boeing immediately contacted media outlets friendly to their companies, planning to hold a public signing ceremony...

Gu Heng understood that at public events such as airshows, it was impossible to conceal such matters from the media, whose noses were even keener than dogs’—even without a public signing, he estimated the media would seek confirmation through various channels...

It would just be more troublesome later on...

Anyway, since he had already garnered such attention at a domestic car show last time, Gu Heng didn’t mind making another splash.

A Boeing 777 for 380 million US dollars, an Airbus A380 for 435 million US dollars—the total price had already reached 815 million US dollars. Having spent so much money, shouldn’t he put on a bit of a show?

His money might have come easily, but it wasn’t dirty money shrouded in secrecy.

The system had reminded him more than once that his wealth was earned legally and rightfully from the foreign exchange market; 815 million US dollars may seem like a lot, but compared to the global forex market with daily transactions exceeding 4 trillion US dollars, it was merely a drop in the ocean...

To be blunt, a large capital company could earn ten times, or even more, of 815 million US dollars with just one correct decision...

While pondering this, Gu Heng’s hand didn’t slow down—he signed his name in Chinese on both purchase contracts.

Of course...

This was only a preliminary contract.

The specific details of the contract still needed to be drafted by lawyers from both sides and then signed by the higher-ups to take full effect.

Even if it was just a preliminary contract, it proved that the transactions between Gu Heng and Boeing and Airbus had officially begun. It naturally became the largest private aviation order of 2024!

Ouyang Nana was sitting not far from Gu Heng at the moment.

Watching Gu Heng, who wore a smile on his face and shook hands with representatives from both Boeing and Airbus, she frantically recalled her recent encounters with him...

He had just casually spent a whole fortune equivalent to the entirety of a tycoon ranked at 500th in Hua Country...

This level of splurging shattered Ouyang Nana’s perception of the term "wealthy"...

She had heard a saying, "The gap between rich people can sometimes be larger than the gap between the poor and the rich." Although she had felt this to be true before, she had never deeply appreciated it...

Besides Ouyang Nana...

Frederick Arnault, Nicolas Meyer, and Douglas Pignol all saw Gu Heng in a new, even higher light.

Although they each came from powerful family backgrounds and possessed vast family wealth, not one of them could afford to spend 815 million US dollars on private jets, let alone for some genuine business plan.

Especially Frederick Arnault...

Although it was true that he had been genuinely making friends with Gu Heng, his kindness had been more akin to patronage—simply helping a friend with similar interests and hobbies.

Only at this moment did he realize that Gu Heng did not need his patronage—he possessed capital no less substantial than his own.

No wonder his father, Bernard Arnault, the current head of the LV Group, had always emphasized the importance of the Hua Country market: This ancient land not only boasted an enormous population but also concealed countless mystery tycoons. Continue your adventure at novelhall.Côm

Previously, Frederick Arnault had not taken it seriously—after all, in a modern informatized society, what could escape big data?

Wealthy or not, you cannot hide it...

But now, he was convinced, and he had no choice but to believe...

Because Gu Heng had resolutely slapped him in the face...

If Gu Heng was not a hidden mystery tycoon from the "Orient," how could he effortlessly spend 815 million US dollars on two purely luxurious, ostentatious private planes? Even his own father, the current world’s wealthiest man, couldn’t afford such luxury, could he?
