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

The next day.

10 a.m.

The Geneva International Air Show was held as scheduled...

The gap between this kind of airshow and a car show is still quite significant...

After all, even ordinary people have intricate connections with the automotive industry, even a salaried worker earning just a few thousand a month could, if they really wanted to, spend tens of thousands to buy an ordinary car...

It is for this reason that car companies around the world hold dozens, or even more, large-scale auto shows every year...

But an airshow is different...

Even though airplanes have become more integrated with people's lives as society develops, there is still a vast chasm at the end of the day.

Just as ordinary people who take buses and subways for their daily commute, who would go out of their way to learn about buses and subways after a full meal?

It is for this reason that the Geneva Air Show is typically an annual event.

Moreover, due to that worldwide irresistible factor, the Geneva Air Show in the past few years has been held in name only, with few companies actually participating.

This year, however, it was held in full swing, with not only the four titans of the aircraft manufacturing industry—Boeing, Airbus, Gulfstream, and Bombardier—but also dozens of small aircraft companies in attendance...

Aside from these industry companies, media from all over the world were also focusing on this event.

Gu Heng had just gotten out of a Maybach when a swarm of reporters flocked to him...

Most of them had Hua Country faces...

There's no wall in the world that doesn't leak, and besides, Gu Heng had never deliberately concealed his actions, so after he snapped up the Patek Philippe 6002G-001 for 15.05 million Euros yesterday, domestic media had already dug through everything about Gu Heng...

Some bored media even started comparing Gu Heng with Principal Wang, who had been low-key for a long time...

The cause of the fuss was when some idle netizens calculated Principal Wang's total expenditure, from the initial internet exposure to media revelations and self-professed wealth flaunting, amounting to 113 million RMB, and with the current exchange rate, Gu Heng's 15.05 million Euro watch was equivalent to 117 million RMB.

In other words, Principal Wang had been the leading second-generation rich for over a decade, yet he didn't spend as much money as Gu Heng on a single watch?

Netizens always love a big fuss...

A discussion on who is the most extravagant second-generation rich went from Weibo to Douyin and then slowly evolved into its own unit of measure culture...

"Wang Sicong spending 113 million equals a leading second-generation rich, Gu Heng spending 117 million equals 1.035 leading second-generation rich, and I've spent 1.5 million from childhood to adulthood equals 0.013 leading second-generation rich.

So, does that make me a second-generation rich too?"

"Then my total expenses from childhood to adulthood don't even hit six figures, does that mean I'm like one-thousandth of a second-generation rich?"

"Alright, alright, everybody is a partial second-generation rich, right?"

The self-mocking culture of netizens had developed to its peak...

From the previous working drones, fools, now a new term "impaired second-generation rich" had emerged, with wave after wave of people beginning to play wildly with this meme...

This vast influx of internet traffic caused Gu Heng to instantly become an internet sensation, not just on the Hua Country network, but the amount of discussion about Gu Heng on Twitter and Facebook was also impressively high...

Ouyang Nana also became an internet sensation alongside him...

Initially, Ouyang Nana's studio had planned to distance themselves from Gu Heng, but seeing the surge in popularity, they changed their minds. They came up with a plan overnight, feeding Ouyang Nana's popularity by keeping her close to Gu Heng. Tencent Video even adjusted the promotion schedule for the new series "Ice and Snow Ballad" to fully cooperate with Ouyang Nana. As for Gao Weiguang, who was originally planned to be paired with Ouyang Nana for a publicity stunt, he was suddenly cast aside...

"Mr. Gu, could you give us a quick statement?"

"Mr. Gu, it's said that yesterday's record-breaking 15.05 million Euro watch auction at Patek Philippe was a marketing stunt, can you comment on that?"

"Miss Ouyang Nana, is Mr. Gu your boyfriend?"

"Mr. Gu, you previously bought luxury cars worth over two hundred million at a domestic car show. Are you here at the Geneva Air Show to replicate that great feat?"

It was an airshow, but aside from a few reporters with some professional ethics, the questions asked by these domestic journalists had nothing to do with the airshow.

However, being away from home, these reporters could also be seen as fellow countrymen, so Gu Heng wasn't too arrogant. He jokingly replied to the last reporter, "I would also like to replicate my actions at the domestic car show, but obviously, the funds won't allow it.

Buying a dozen cars would cost just over two hundred million at most, but if I were to buy a dozen planes, that would be over two hundred billion, wouldn't it?"

Hearing Gu Heng's joke, the reporter also realized that Gu Heng was quite easy-going and quickly continued, "Then can Mr. Gu reveal the purpose of your visit to the airshow? Is it simply for leisure, or do you have other plans?"

As long as he bought a plane at the airshow, with his current popularity, the news would almost instantly spread across the country, Gu Heng was very clear about this point and didn't intend to hide it. He answered openly, "If possible, I plan to buy a private jet at the airshow, but I don't have a target at the moment. I can only browse around first, and it would be even better if I could find a satisfactory aircraft."

Gu Heng's tone was casual, but to these reporters, it was outrageously audacious...

This was the airshow...

Not some supermarket clearance sale...

The most expensive planes here might be worth several hundred million US Dollars, and even the cheapest ones would probably be tens of millions...
