Chapter 175: Chapter 159: The World’s First and the Sun God

Gu Heng had just spent nearly an hour touring the SSTP Super Car Club, with most of that time in the central supercar exhibition hall.

Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Koenigseggs, Bugattis, Apollos, Paganis—limited-edition models from virtually every top supercar brand in the world were on display.

"Chairman Gu, every boy dreams of having a supercar."

Deng Zhihong asked with a smile, "I imagine you already have a model in mind, don’t you?"

"I certainly do."

"I’m just not sure if there’s a way to acquire it."

Gu Heng gave a slight nod, replying with a smile.

"Tell me, Chairman Gu."

"If it’s a limited-edition model that’s already been released, and you want to acquire it, Chairman Gu, we’d have to look for one on the secondary market."

"If it’s a newly released limited edition, we’d need to consider if it meets domestic road-use regulations, whether it requires crash testing, and so on."

Last night, Deng Zhihong had been indulging in hedonistic pleasures, just like a typical spoiled heir.

But today, discussing business, he seemed exceptionally calm and composed, displaying an uncommon level of professionalism.

"Brother Hong, the Bugatti Chiron 300+. A global limited production of 30 units. I saw in the news that they just started taking pre-orders worldwide. Is that true?"

Gu Heng didn’t beat around the bush and asked Deng Zhihong directly.

"The Bugatti Chiron 300+?"

A hint of shock appeared on Deng Zhihong’s face. He hadn’t expected Gu Heng to immediately name one of the top models in the entire supercar world. "That’s right. The 300+ is based on the original Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, with significant improvements to its exterior design and engine tuning. Its performance has also been boosted from the original 1,479 horsepower to 1,578."

"Can you get one?"

"Is it street-legal in the country?"

Gu Heng asked with a smile.

"We can definitely get one."

"Bugatti has a showroom right here at the SSTP Super Car Club. Their representative can speak directly with Bugatti Headquarters. With the SSTP Super Car Club vouching for you, eligibility to purchase won’t be an issue."

"As for whether it’s street-legal, if this were a new limited edition from another brand, I might not be able to answer you right away. But for this Bugatti Chiron 300+, it’s almost certainly not a problem."

"That’s because the original Chiron, the Chiron Sport, and the Chiron Super Sport are all already on the roads here, and they all meet the country’s street-legal requirements. So there’s no reason the latest Chiron 300+ wouldn’t."

At this, Deng Zhihong paused, a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Chairman Gu, are you serious about getting the Chiron 300+?"

Deng Zhihong lowered his voice. "Just to get a Chiron Super Sport delivered and registered in this country costs close to 80 million. To bring a Chiron 300+ over... the total price will probably be approaching a hundred million."

"It’s fine."

"A little more expensive is just a little more expensive."

"Limited-edition supercars hold their value well anyway."

"I’ll just treat it as a collector’s piece."

Gu Heng just smiled, his expression still perfectly calm. He was completely unfazed by the price Deng Zhihong had quoted.

The others sitting around them listened to the exchange between Gu Heng and Deng Zhihong, and it was enough to make their scalps tingle.

’A top-tier supercar worth nearly a hundred million, and to him, it’s just ’a little more expensive’?’

If it weren’t for Gu Heng’s dazzling performance last night, which proved his immense wealth, they would have written him off as just another poser.

"Chairman Gu, if you’re sure you want to go through with this."

"Then I’ll contact the manager of the Bugatti showroom and have him come over to discuss the details with you."

"As far as I know, ever since the Bugatti Chiron 300+ officially opened for pre-orders, not a single one has been sold. If you manage to land this car, you’ll be the very first Bugatti Chiron 300+ owner in the world!"

As he said this, Deng Zhihong found himself getting inexplicably excited.

Even though the SSTP Super Car Club’s exhibition hall was filled with countless top-tier supercars, ones with price tags approaching a hundred million were still exceedingly rare—you could count them on one hand.

As a massive car enthusiast whose main and side businesses were both auto-related, brokering the deal for the world’s first Bugatti Chiron 300+ would give him an incredible sense of accomplishment. Moreover, it would be a tremendous boost for his career.

"Have him come over."

Gu Heng nodded slightly. "If the price and conditions from Bugatti are right, I’d like to finalize the purchase as quickly as possible, before I leave Zhonghai."

"Don’t worry, Chairman Gu. The price and conditions will definitely be favorable."

Deng Zhihong was very confident. "Our SSTP Super Car Club is currently the top club in all of Asia. We bring together nearly every supercar enthusiast on the continent. Unless Bugatti wants to cut ties with us completely, they would never dare try to pull a fast one on us."

"Alright, we can discuss the Bugatti Chiron 300+ in more detail when their representative gets here." Having said that, Gu Heng changed the subject. "What about the Sun God Apollo IE? Brother Hong, do you have a way to get one of those?"

"Chairman Gu, are you planning to buy two at the same time?"

Deng Zhihong froze, completely baffled.

"Something to alternate with."

Gu Heng’s tone was casual. "From the sound of it, the wait time between ordering and delivery for the Bugatti Chiron 300+ will be pretty long. So I figured I’d get another supercar with a quicker delivery to drive around in for now."

They were floored.

Utterly and completely floored.

Everyone was looking at Gu Heng like he was some kind of monster.

’They were all rich kids, so how could the gap between them be this huge?!’

’Since when was a Sun God Apollo IE considered a backup car?’
