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

First, I'd start a company, open a corporate account, and transfer the money from my personal account into it, then go on a spending spree, indulging in pleasures...

It's a bit of a hassle, but with more time, there definitely won't be a problem...

Thinking of this, Gu Heng nodded again, "Although it's a bit troublesome, you can still get the money out."

Listening to Gu Heng's indifferent tone, Lu Yuan and the other two didn't know what to say...

The reception room fell silent for almost a minute before Lu Yuan's voice rose again, "Investing in building a racetrack isn't exactly a profitable business. The Yangcheng City Municipal Government is doing it to enhance the city's visibility and create a landmark."

This time Song Yang and Liu Wan came here for the Yangcheng F1 International Circuit project. We run luxury car dealerships, and getting involved in this project would benefit our business in unexpected ways."

"But why you?"

Gu Heng spread his hands, "Brother Lu, would you believe me if I said I'm not interested in making money?

I want to build this racetrack because, like I told you before, I plan to form a racing team. And I don't intend to dabble on a small scale like you; I'm planning to set up a legitimate team that might compete in F1 races in the future."

A team surely needs a good training ground, right? It shouldn't be too much to build a racetrack to provide a training venue for my team, should it?"

Of course, Gu Heng couldn't say he wanted to spend extravagantly to boost his own status, so he had to adopt the attitude of a wasteful heir...

But what he said was indeed his true thoughts, and not just about the F1 team...

Later, when he has more money, Gu Heng also plans to acquire things like an NBA team, a European football club, a Korean entertainment company, and so on.

Starting a business is too difficult, it's not just a matter of having money to make it work. He was well aware of his own limits.

Maybe after all his efforts, instead of increasing his social status, he'd end up losing tens or hundreds of billions, potentially becoming the biggest fool in Hua Country...

Making money is hard, but spending money is easy...

He just plans to spend freely, buying, buying, buying, and his social status will still soar high. That's the future path Gu Heng has planned for himself, buying his way to a bright, broad road!

...

Listening to Gu Heng's arrogant remarks, Lu Yuan, Fu Songyang, and Liu Wan all fell silent...

After a while, Lu Yuan slowly started talking again, "There's a panel discussion about the Shanghai International Circuit project in a few days. If you're interested, you could register an investment company in the next couple of days.

You could come with us and take a look."

"A panel discussion?"

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes, "For such a big project, it definitely has to go through countless negotiations before a decision is made. The Yangcheng City government is the main force behind this project; they have to own at least half the share, just like when the Shanghai International Circuit was built, the Shanghai Municipal Government put in 1.5 billion and other investors put in 600 million."

"So, I have to invest with a bunch of other people?"

"What did you think? Did you want to take the whole project on by yourself? Although it's not impossible if you really want to do it alone. Just go buy a few thousand acres of land, develop it yourself, and then apply to the FIA to become an exclusive racetrack. However, the initial 10 billion might not be enough, it would probably take 20 billion.

After all, buying a few thousand acres of land in Yangcheng City, even if it's in an undeveloped suburban area, would cost over 10 billion."

Upon hearing this, Gu Heng gave up immediately...

According to the maximum reward of 500 million per indulgence, 20 billion would require doing it 40 times...

Too much of a hassle...

...

An hour later, Lu Yuan stood up, "Alright, let's call it a day for business. We're here to have fun.

I'm going to hit the sauna. Song Yang, Liu Wan, it's not your first time here, so I won't make arrangements for you. Do whatever you want to do."

The two of them gave him an OK gesture simultaneously, then exchanged contact details with Gu Heng.

Although they didn't know if Gu Heng was genuinely capable or just bluffing today, exchanging contact details was always a good move.

And being able to spend 60 million on a car at Brother Lu's place, Fu Songyang and Liu Wan didn't think Gu Heng was the kind of guy who was senselessly pretentious. They tended to believe what he said was true...

They even began to rack their brains, trying to recall which domestic or international tycoon had the surname Gu...
