I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Advanced edition?" Qin Feng's expression changed, for he naturally knew some things that ordinary people did not when he purchased the car.

This new limited edition Maserati had a unique, discontinued model design, of which it was said only one vehicle was produced and not offered for sale. Reportedly, it was kept by the Maserati boss, Franca Maserati.

As a hardcore car collector, for Qin Feng, if there was a car he liked, there were few he couldn't get his hands on, hence his relationships with many founders and owners of sports car brands were quite good.

With luxury car brands like Maserati, Qin Feng had collected many limited edition cars; he had even dined with that beautiful boss of Maserati several times.

"Old Zhang, you don't have to pretend with me, do you? I know the owner of Maserati. I had dinner with Miss Franca just last month!"

Zhang Menglong shrugged, "That, you wouldn't know. Maserati's founder, Alfieri Maserati, was a very thoughtful person whom my great-grandfather met while traveling in Europe. When he started the company, it was my great-grandfather who funded it. I hold 92.5% of the company's shares!"@@novelbin@@

Zhang Menglong laughed, "The car was delivered to me as soon as it came off the production line. It's now in my home's underground garage. Want to take a look?"

"I... I lose!" Stunned for a few seconds, Qin Feng finally uttered these two words.

"Cough cough cough! It's just a gift!" Qin Feng hinted to Wei Jinghong with a nudge of his eye.

Wei Jinghong smiled, knowing Qin Feng was famously face-conscious. When he came, he really did prepare another gift.

"How about it, you can't produce a second one of this, can you?" Qin Feng smiled.

It was another exquisite box, inside were a pair of pink diamond earrings, and by the look of their size, they were close to 10 carats!

"This isn't too big. It can't compare to the 14.93 carat, VVS1 clarity pink diamond that was auctioned in '17. But as you know, pink diamonds over one carat are already quite rare."

The Pink Star that was auctioned that year, almost 20 carats, fetched a high price of 40 million US dollars. Although these earrings were far less substantial, they were still very valuable.

Targeting Lu Yiyao, Zhang Menglong's girlfriend, that was Qin Feng's plan.

"This... it can't be that you got this from the Cullinan mine, can it?" Zhang Menglong stared at the pair of pink diamonds and asked.

"Holy shit, how do you know?" Qin Feng exclaimed.

The pair of pink diamonds did come from the Cullinan mine. Qin Feng had met the owner of the mine at a wine party, and these pink diamonds were mined two months prior. They were reserved by Qin Feng back when the diamonds were still raw stones. Zhang Menglong was not supposed to know about this.

"Don't look at me with such a surprised expression!" Zhang Menglong said, "When this thing was unearthed, Gokhan asked me if I wanted it. But what would I do with a broken diamond of less than 20 carats?"

"20 carats... broken diamond... I'm..." Gokhan was the mine owner Qin Feng had met at the time; he even inquired with Zhang Menglong when the diamond was mined? What kind of relationship did they have?

"Alright, I know what you're going to ask. That mine is also mine. Gokhan just manages it for our family."

"I'm fricking torn apart!" Qin Feng had a vacant look, "I was too hasty."

"Okay, unsolicited offers are from scammers, at best. Out with it, you're working so hard to bribe my girlfriend; what do you need my help with?" Zhang Menglong directly pointed out Qin Feng's intentions.

"You, you have no sense of tact at all. Even if you did see that I have a request for you, you shouldn't have said it out loud, you know, I'm a man who needs face!" Qin Feng's face reddened.

"Fine, then continue. Let's see what other good things you can pull out!" Zhang Menglong watched as if he were enjoying a show.

"No more, really no more!" Qin Feng was on the verge of tears. Now he understood, monetary strategies were useless against Zhang Menglong, and probably of no significance to the people around him either.

"Actually, even if you don't say it, I know. You're here lobbying for those Gods of Cars, aren't you?" Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

"You're no fun! Can't you just let me spell it out? It makes me look not so smart!" Qin Feng was about ready to flip the table. When had he ever lost face like this?

"I told you, all your little tricks are useless!" Wei Jinghong, sitting beside Qin Feng, laughed. It seemed she had foreseen the outcome of Qin Feng's plans all along.

"Fine, you win. From now on, you're the boss at home," Qin Feng sighed.

"Mr. Zhang, let's get formally acquainted. Wei Jinghong, the one you were thinking of just now, that's my grandfather!" Wei Jinghong's eyes twinkled with wisdom.

"I knew it!" Zhang Menglong wasn't surprised at all, but Wei Jinghong was indeed a very smart woman. If she entered politics in the future, she would probably, like her grandfather, become a person recorded in the history and political textbooks.

"My grandfather is actually very interested in you. This visit isn't just about his little issues," Wei Jinghong gave Qin Feng a sidelong glance. "If you have the chance, I hope Mr. Zhang will visit Yanjing. I will make sure to treat you well."

"Miss Lu, let's chat over there. Let's not get involved in these men's affairs," Wei Jinghong said affably, linking arms with Lu Yiyao. "If I'm not mistaken, the necklace you're wearing is the Heart of the Ocean, right? The stuff Mr. Zhang brings out can't possibly be fake..."

"Awesome!" Zhang Menglong gave Qin Feng a thumbs-up. "You can handle such a woman?"

"Cut it out!" Qin Feng grimaced. "This is sacrificing my future love life, ah. My family background is truly tragic, born to be manipulated by family members!"

"Cut it out!" Zhang Menglong laughed. "How many people wish they could be manipulated by such a family? So, tell me, what are those 'Gods of Cars' up to exactly?"

"Hehehe!" Qin Feng chuckled. "They just want to race against the 'God of Cars.' They've put up some stakes that I'm really interested in, so I had to come to you with no shame!"

With a pleading look, Qin Feng gazed at Zhang Menglong, "Menglong, help me out, will you? You must be familiar with the 'God of Cars,' right? Help me set up a race with him, just one round. It'll only take a few hours at most, won't delay things too long!"

"This..." Since Qin Feng had come all the way to Jiangnan City to ask, Zhang Menglong really couldn't bring himself to say no.

"I'll ask for you!"

"Hahaha! You're the best!" Qin Feng was overjoyed.

Zhang Menglong pretended to scroll through his phone while his mind whirred at high speed.

Racing wasn't out of the question, but Zhang Menglong never did anything that was a waste of time. If he was really going to race, then he had to gain something from this match.

"My friend said, as long as you agree to two conditions, he'll accept the challenge!" Zhang Menglong already had some ideas.

"Speak!" Qin Feng said eagerly.

"First, this race needs to go big. Not only should domestic media be there, but international ones as well. As for betting... let's call it a prize. Otherwise, my friend is afraid of getting 'audited'!"

"Hahaha! Easy to say, I can handle that!" For Qin Feng, with the resources at his disposal, this was a piece of cake.

"Second, those four 'Gods of Cars' have their countries' racing licenses, right?"

"Of course, they're all professional race car drivers."

"Then it's easy," Zhang Menglong said. "The loser has to leave behind their car's emblem, driver's license, and racing license!"

"Why's that?" Qin Feng asked, puzzled.

"My friend likes to collect trophies!" Zhang Menglong explained. "Whenever he won a race in the past, he'd rip off the other person's car emblem and stick it on his own car. Now he likes to collect their driver's licenses and racing licenses!"
