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

As a result, Gu Heng never discussed the price from beginning to end, nor did he consider whether he could afford it, he simply said he hoped to see an airplane that would satisfy him...

For a moment, the journalists who asked questions even thought up the headline they would send out...

"Shock! Super wealthy Gu Heng declares, as long as he’s satisfied, price is no issue at all!"

Gu Heng didn’t know that he was soon to be the top news on UC’s Shocking News front page. After briefly answering the journalists’ questions, he walked toward the interior of the aircraft exhibition under the protection of his bodyguards...

...

Upon entering the interior of the aircraft exhibition, Gu Heng saw a group of people walking towards him.

Leading the group was Frederick, Nicolas, and Douglas who had already arrived at the exhibition center earlier...

The ones surrounding them were representatives from various aircraft manufacturing companies...

"Gu Heng, these are representatives from Gulfstream, Boeing, Airbus, and Bombardier... In our conversation earlier, I let slip that you were looking to purchase a private airplane, and they overheard.

Now they strongly requested that I introduce them to you, you wouldn’t mind, would you?"

Frederick Arnault showed a hypocritically helpless expression as he spread his hands out toward Gu Heng.

Of course, Gu Heng knew that Frederick was using his connections to recommend these representatives to him, and if he had to contact them himself it would have been a bit of a hassle, so a grateful smile appeared in his eyes.

The unsaid was left unsaid...

Frederick Arnault was indeed suitable to be a friend.

The reason he had been so comfortable and happy these few days in Europe was largely due to him.

Without saying much, Gu Heng gave him a hug, then whispered a thank you in his ear, promising to return the favor with a good hosting when he visited Hua Country later, then the two exchanged a smile...

Although there were no entangled interests, the comradeship between the two, born out of shared meals and drinks, was fully established at that moment.

Over the next hour and some, Gu Heng, Ouyang Nana, and Frederick, accompanied by representatives from more than a dozen aviation companies, toured the entire exhibition and learned quite a bit of basic knowledge about airplanes...

Gu Heng felt it was about time, then cleared his throat and spoke to the aviation company representatives, "I believe you all know the purpose of my attendance at the exhibition today, which is to purchase a private jet.

Does anyone wish to introduce me to your company’s products?"

Upon hearing this, the representatives from these aviation companies all became excited.

What were they following after Gu Heng for over an hour like tour guides?

Wasn’t it because Frederick Arnault said Gu Heng wanted to buy a private jet? And would Gu Heng, a super wealthy individual whose watch alone was worth more than 10 million Euros, buy an ordinary plane?

Of course not...

If they could get Gu Heng to buy a plane from their company, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this feat alone would be enough for all the representatives present to get a promotion on the spot.

Frederick responded quickly with a smile, "There are over a dozen airplane manufacturers here; surely you aren’t planning to visit their booths one by one as if you were at a car show?

Why don’t you give them a standard and let them filter themselves, and we can go see the planes that meet your requirements, and skip the ones that don’t."

Gu Heng nodded slightly, "That will work, let me give a simple standard."

As Gu Heng finished speaking, the representatives from these aviation companies all held their breath, waiting for what he would say next...

"Let’s not look at anything below 100 million US Dollars, this is my first time buying a private jet, and even if I can’t get the best, I don’t want to settle for something ordinary."

As the words fell, representatives from smaller aviation companies fell silent...

Only the representatives from the aviation giants Gulfstream, Boeing, Airbus, and Bombardier were all smiles.

While private jets are the epitome of luxury on this planet, even amongst the top-tier there are gaps...

On the market, private jets worth tens of millions of US Dollars would be considered very good, but as for private jets worth over a hundred million US Dollars, the number around the world is not tallied, but it is certainly not many.

Just look at the personal airplanes of several of Hua Country’s richest individuals who have taken turns holding the title.

The bankrupt Mr. Xu’s aircraft was an Airbus A319 valued at 90 million US Dollars.

Jing Dong’s Mr. Liu had a Gulfstream G650 worth 400 million RMB.

```

Alibaba’s Mr. Ma ranks slightly lower with a 300 million US Dollar Gulfstream G550.

Principal Wang’s father, Mr. Wang, who had been the richest man for several years, also purchased a G550 for over 300 million US Dollars.

From this, one could see how meaningful Gu Heng’s bottom line of not looking at anything below 100 million US Dollars was...

These ordinary airplane manufacturers probably never even considered making planes worth 100 million US Dollars since their establishment; Gu Heng’s comment effectively excluded them right off the bat. Apart from silence, what else could they do?

Just thinking that they had followed Gu Heng for over an hour, only to get nothing in return, they couldn’t help feeling resentful towards him... Discover hidden stories at NovelBin.Côm

Why didn’t he set such high standards earlier? They had been accompanying him for so long, had provided plenty of emotional value, but when it came down to serious business, he looked down on them. Wasn’t this bullying the honest folks?!

Meanwhile, representatives from the four major aerospace manufacturers approached Gu Heng with beaming faces.

The Airbus representative stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gu, at this Geneva auto show, our Airbus company has two planes worth over 100 million US Dollars on exhibit, namely the Airbus A350-1000 and the Airbus A380. Currently, both of these aircraft are parked in the exhibition area at the center of the airshow.

If Mr. Gu is interested, I can take you to see them..."

"Airbus A380?"

On hearing the model A380, Gu Heng raised his eyebrows and spoke with a tone of surprise.

The Airbus representative hastily responded, "Yes, the Airbus A380, one of the world’s largest and highest capacity private jets. Mr. Gu, had you previously learned about it?"

If Gu Heng had already known about it, that’d be even better, as the impression made from this type of multimillion-dollar deal, sometimes, could determine everything.

Thinking this, the Airbus representative became slightly excited.

But the next second, Gu Heng shook his head.

"Then why, Mr. Gu..."

"I borrowed a private plane, and the model just happened to be an A380, so I was a bit surprised upon hearing of it."

"Prince Alwaleed?"

This time it was Gu Heng who was surprised: "How do you know?"

The Airbus representative proudly smiled, "As the world’s most luxurious aircraft manufacturer, our Airbus company has a very close relationship with Saudi Arabia, and the vast majority of Saudi Airlines’ fleet is purchased from us.

The A380 you just mentioned is a private jet, which reminded me of Prince Alwaleed.

After all, he’s the only tycoon in the world who uses an A380 as a private jet, like a flying castle."

Gu Heng nodded at this statement, but the Airbus representative’s excitement grew as he continued, "Since Mr. Gu has experienced the Airbus A380, I’m sure you realize that there’s no plane on this planet that can surpass it.

If Mr. Gu needs one, we can also customize a dedicated Airbus A380 for you."

Hearing the Airbus representative speak this way, the Boeing representative couldn’t help but interject, standing out abruptly.

"Mr. Gu, our Boeing company also has two planes worth hundreds of millions of US Dollars on display this time, namely the Boeing 747-8 and the Boeing 777-300ER.

The Boeing 777 has the longest range of any aircraft in the world, capable of covering up to 18,000 kilometers in distance. If you owned a Boeing 777, in theory, you’d only need to refuel twice to circle the globe!

And in terms of interior space and payload, the Boeing 747-8 is in no way inferior to the Airbus A380, and it might even surpass it!"

Hearing these two companies boast, the representatives from Gulfstream and Bombardier could only stand by silently…

Their two companies’ main business is business private jets, so they are very cost-effective, but when it comes to luxury, they can’t really compare with Airbus and Boeing…

In their wildest dreams, they couldn’t imagine that their pride in cost-effectiveness had turned into a disadvantage in front of Gu Heng…

The mysterious billionaire from Hua Country had his demands written all over his face: "Only the most expensive, not necessarily the best."

If it weren’t out of place, they’d even want to call their CEOs and suggest that the company starts developing super large aircraft…

If their company had super large aircraft, they wouldn’t have to stand so helplessly at the airshow…

Watching the representatives from Boeing and Airbus eagerly introducing their aircraft to him, Gu Heng waved his hand impatiently and said, "I’m not interested in hearing you compete over patents, let’s go look at the planes first."
