Chapter 116: Aventador's Last Swansong_4
"This must be the newest Lamborghini in my collection. Besides the 30 kilometers I drove during the test drive, I haven't even stepped on the gas pedal."
Hearing this, Gu Heng finally looked up.
"Brother Lu, are you going to sell this car to me?"
"If you like it, I'll sell it to you. If not, I'm just going to ship it back to Yangcheng City. Anyway, with three Lamborghinis already in my collection, one more or one less doesn't make much of a difference."
"How much?"
Listening to Gu Heng's straightforward way of asking the price, Lu Yuan laughed and pressed the car key in his pocket.
The cool car doors rose automatically like two silver scissors.
"Go in and have a feel first."
Gu Heng didn't play coy and directly climbed into the car.
His first feeling was that it was a bit cramped; his 1.8-meter height felt slightly uncomfortable sitting down...
This is a common issue with sports cars; Tong Jingcheng's SF90 was the same.
But who buys sports cars for comfort?
With prices often in the hundreds of millions or even tens of millions, if you're really after comfort, why not just buy a Rolls-Royce? Is "first-class on land" a joke to you?
He started the ignition...
He revved the engine without stepping on the gas, and the engine roared to life...
The growl of a sports car's engine polarizes people...
Those who like it think it sounds great and even nickname the different roars of the various models.
Those who don't, simply find it noisy...
And fortunately, Gu Heng was among the former.

He thoroughly enjoyed the roar of sports cars...
Feeling those sexy sonic waves, Gu Heng couldn't help but get excited once more...
Buying watches before was simply a matter of keeping up with appearances...
Only because other rich folks wore them, and if he didn't have a few, he'd seem out of place...
But when it came to supercars...
Gu Heng was certain, it was true love!
In the future, he had to collect at least a hundred and eighty of them, driving different supercars every day to tear up the streets; he couldn't even imagine how amazing that would be!
At this moment, not far away, Lu Yuan spread one hand open, and with the index finger of the other hand, he tapped his palm, signaling Gu Heng to stop.
"Hey kid, I haven't even sold you the car, and you're stepping on the gas like that? What if you blow the engine, who's going to be responsible for that?"
Hearing Lu Yuan's joking complaint, Gu Heng smiled a bit sheepishly...
The allure of sports cars was just too strong for him...
Once he sat down, he felt a little out of control...
"How does stepping on the gas feel? This model will be the last great work of Lamborghini's legendary naturally aspirated V12 engine. In 2021, the pure fuel V12 engines completely stopped production. Anything that comes after will feature hybrid technology, less pure. That's also why I wanted to collect this car."
"Brother Lu, just tell me how much this car is going to cost."
Gu Heng was really in a hurry...
He had no particular attachment to the Lamborghini brand...
He didn't care whether it was some kind of last tribute or not; he just wanted to know how much it would cost to buy it.
Seeing Gu Heng's eagerness, Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I spent 2 million New Dollars on this car, which is roughly about 9.5 million RMB. This should have been reported by the media; you can check it online, I remember being interviewed by the media at the time. The customization cost an additional 1.4 million, so the total is 11 million.
I'm not going to talk about its appreciation or depreciation. I'll take a loss on this, and consider the customization cost as a free gift to you, so 10 million. If you want it, you just need to pay 10 million."
"However, I have one condition. If you agree to my condition, I'll sell the car to you. If you don't, I'll just have it shipped back to my garage."
"What's the condition?"
"It's not a big deal. Wu Yifeng mentioned earlier that I own a hobby racing team. How about having your name in my team? If there are any races in the future, I'll invite you to participate. Of course, whether you join or not is up to you, I won't insist."
Gu Heng thought for a moment and then nodded: "I have a condition as well."
"Oh?"
Lu Yuan smiled: "Let's hear it."
"One car is not enough. Brother Lu, how about you sell me another one?"
Lu Yuan didn't reject him outright but still looked at Gu Heng with a smile: "The remaining cars in my collection can't be taken with just 10 million; they start at 30 to 40 million. Are you sure?"
Gu Heng looked Lu Yuan in the eye and laughed: "As long as Brother Lu is willing to sell, I'll take all the cars in your garage."
Tong Jingcheng: "???"
Wu Yifeng: "???"
That bold?
The value of Lu Yuan's car collection is not modest at all, easily worth 300 million. There weren't many people who dared claim they'd take every car in Lu Yuan's collection.
Lu Yuan didn't respond but just looked at Gu Heng...
After so many years in business, Lu Yuan had a keen grasp of people's expressions...
But on Gu Heng's face, he saw not a hint of jest...
It was as if Gu Heng would really take them all if he agreed...
"You better buy this one first, and let's make it clear, I'm heading back to Yangcheng City in a couple of days, and I don't accept loans. It takes at least half a month to complete all the bank's procedures. On a million-dollar matter, I don't have the time to dawdle."
By then, Gu Heng had already gotten out of the car.
"I'll have someone come check the car, and if there's no problem, I'll transfer the 10 million in cash directly to Brother Lu's account."
"Alright."
A 10-million deal...
Was struck with just a few simple verbal promises...
Tong Jingcheng couldn't help swallowing hard...
When he bought his SF90, not only did he deplete his family's savings, but he also took out a loan from the bank for several years...
Yet, Gu Heng talked about 10 million as if it were a mere thousand...
It seemed he had really met an extraordinary person at the bar...
