175: Chapter 175 Rich and Willful

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Young Master Chu apologized to Chen Hao.

"It's nothing, it wasn't a big deal anyway. You guys chat, I'm going to discuss the car purchase details."

Just as Chen Hao was about to leave, Young Master Hu stopped him.

"Don't rush, Brother Chen, have you forgotten yesterday's bet?"

Chen Hao asked knowingly.

"Are you talking about the Prince Charming contest at the party?"

"Not that, I mean the bet about selling flowers yesterday."

Young Master Hu specified.

"Didn't I say it? If you sold all the flowers last night, I'd give you a 50% discount on the rolls-royce phantom."

"Oh, that thing."

Chen Hao smiled. He knew about it, but he wasn't sure if the Second Generation Rich had said it casually or taken it seriously, so his actions today also carried an element of testing.

He put on an expression as if he had just remembered.

"I didn't take that seriously. What, can you actually convince the rolls-royce sales side to give me a fifty percent discount?"

Young Master Hu smiled confidently.

"Although I can't speak for them, I already put down a 5 million deposit, consider that my discount for you,"

Chen Hao said with a smile.

"That's too embarrassing?"

"Nothing to be embarrassed about, just making friends. Mainly, if you have any more money-making ventures in the future, can you bring a few of us along?"

Chen Hao smiled and stood up.

"Of course, no problem. I'll go look at the car first, we can chat later."

After Chen Hao left, everyone looked a bit suspicious.

Young Master Chu said, "Why do I feel like the 5 million didn't move him?"

Others followed up immediately.

"I have the same feeling."

Now it was Young Master Xiao's turn to show off. He said arrogantly,

"Is it that you guys didn't use the right approach?"

Everyone looked at him as Young Master Xiao continued,

"Do you know how famous Brother Chen is in Guangcheng?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

Young Master Xiao boasted,

"I only heard it from my elders. In business, if Chen Hao claims to be second, no one dares to claim first."

"Let me give you a few famous examples. You all know about the factories in Guangcheng, right? A few years ago, several factories were about to go bankrupt and sought Chen Hao for advice. Guess what happened? Not only did they recover, but they all made a lot of money."

"So, when you do business with him, you aren't having him lead you; instead, if you have any ideas, you can ask for his opinion. As long as Brother Chen says a business can make money, that business absolutely won't lose money."

Hearing this, everyone finally understood.

Young Master Xiao got more animated as he spoke, rambling on about his own business.

After hearing this, everyone inwardly grumbled. No wonder Chen Hao didn't bring them into his businesses; they were the ones eagerly seeking favors. If they had ideas, they should just ask him, there was no need to insist on him leading them.

...

While the Second Generation Rich were chatting, Chen Hao had already started looking at the car purchase contract.

The rolls-royce phantom downstairs was just a display model. Cars of this caliber came with private customization benefits, meaning that besides the base vehicle, Chen Hao could specify any configuration he wanted right now.

Chen Hao added several necessary configurations, and the price soared rapidly.

In Chen Hao's eyes, this was just like configuring a computer. The base price didn't count; the configurations determined the performance and the level of luxury of the car.

Finally, after Chen Hao finished selecting, the total price for the car settled at 13.45 million, which included a series of insurance, registration, and delivery procedures.

Since Young Master Hu had already paid the 5 million advance payment, Chen Hao only needed to pay another 8.45 million. He swiped his card, the transaction was complete, and both parties shook hands in agreement.

"Congratulations on becoming the distinguished owner of a rolls-royce."

"I only care about when I can pick up the car?"

The brand representative contacted the factory, inquired, and then stated,

"It will take about 5 days. We will contact you then and personally deliver the car to you."

Chen Hao's excitement instantly vanished. Buying such a luxury car was troublesome; it wasn't as satisfying as buying an ordinary car you could drive away immediately.

When leaving the rolls-royce VIP lounge, Chen Hao checked his bank balance.

Current balance: 111.6 million. With reserves at home, his heart felt steady.

After careful consideration, he realized he would have many occasions to use a car in the future, and he couldn't always drive the rolls-royce phantom. Besides, buying a car for each of his women wouldn't be showing favoritism, right?

Chen Hao found a spot in the corridor, sat down, located Zhang Menglu and Sun Nana, and sent them messages directly to inquire.

"There's a very high-end car show in Guangcheng today. What kind of car do you like?"

Perhaps Zhang Menglu was busy, as she didn't reply for a long time. Sun Nana, however, replied quite quickly.

"I like a MINI. Are you going to gift me one?"

"I'll go ask the price of a MINI right now."

"You're really going to gift me one? I like white, or a Beetle would work too."

Chen Hao looked at Zhang Menglu again and saw she still hadn't replied, so he walked over to the car show to look at cars.

...

Inside the dealership.

Zhang Menglu held her phone, at a loss for what to do. Cai Fenghua next to her kept saying,

"Brother Chen asking like this definitely means he's buying you a car. Just name one you like, what's there to be nervous about?"

Zhang Menglu's attitude was completely different.

"It's not like that at all. This is a gifted car! The cheapest one is worth hundreds of thousands, right?"

Wang Lichun, standing nearby, blinked and said,

"Aren't there cars worth tens of thousands too?"

Cai Fenghua snapped at her.

"Shut up! How can you present a car worth tens of thousands? Tell Brother Chen to ask for an expensive one, the more expensive the better."

Zhang Menglu was flustered by their words and had no idea how to reply to Chen Hao.

Zhuang Hua, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly interjected,

"You are all chattering here, telling Chen Hao to buy expensive ones. Have you considered Chen Hao's ability to afford it? Does he have that much money?"

"He does."

Zhang Menglu sat next to Zhuang Hua and whispered Chen Hao's savings into her ear. Chen Hao had shown off his savings balance when he was drunk a couple of days ago.

"How much? You're saying he has how much in savings?"

Zhuang Hua was completely stunned. She knew Chen Hao was capable, but she didn't know he was this rich. A savings balance of 120 million—that wasn't just rich, that was truly a tycoon!

"So, how should I tactfully express myself to him?"

Zhuang Hua finally snapped back to her senses after a long pause. After careful consideration,

"You are a boss too, after all. The car you drive shouldn't lower your status, nor should it be too luxurious, otherwise the maintenance costs alone would be a huge expense. I suggest you buy a car with a moderate price. How about an audi A6?"

Zhang Menglu mumbled as she spoke.

"But I like a Ferrari. Do you think Chen Hao can buy me one?"

Zhuang Hua's heart trembled. Zhang Menglu was indeed a proper girlfriend; she truly dared to make an exorbitant demand.

"Don't ask me, just ask Chen Hao directly."

Zhuang Hua left without looking back, needing to get outside for some air to calm her disturbed mood.
