Tao Liangchen

Chapter 842 By the Honor of Heaven and Earth

"Mahjong!"

Jiang Yu pushed her tiles and exclaimed excitedly, "Seven pairs plus Fishing the Moon from the Sea (last tile draw), that's thirty-two fan (points), right? I thought the four of cakes tile was gone. Pay up, pay up!"

He Shaofan, looking listless, counted out the money and said,

"Earning hundreds of millions or even billions of U.S. dollars, and you still win our mahjong money? You're practically cutting us off completely, leaving us no way to survive! Compared to Hao, I feel like I'm just a waste. The new Pagani is beautiful, could you possibly front me one? I mean the 'Su Limited Edition,' just hearing it sounds extravagant. People who invest in supercar companies really are different."

In July of this year, Pagani launched its third car since the company was founded, a limited edition of one hundred and ninety-nine vehicles.

In addition, five "Su Limited Edition" models were launched separately, as a tribute to partner Su Yehao.

The exterior design is even more innovative, with an all-carbon fiber body and specially customized wheels. The designer communicated with Su Yehao many times. The "V" shaped front end has a bit of a Ferrari LaFerrari feel. The concept drawings attracted widespread attention as soon as they were released, and the pre-sale price was as high as $880,000, which is nothing to true millionaires.

Due to the specialized design, Pagani would actually lose money even if they sold it at this price, basically just generating publicity.

Su Yehao's aesthetic sense is on point. Since he joined Pagani, even the regular version of the Zonda, limited to 199 vehicles, is much more beautiful in appearance than the previous generation, especially the interior.

Su Yehao has already reserved one of the five Su Limited Editions for himself, and the remaining four are simply not enough to go around. Due to the extreme scarcity of Pagani supercars, his first supercar in his garage can be sold for seven or eight hundred thousand U.S. dollars on the market, and it’s still hard to find.

The Pagani brand is becoming more valuable, but the cost is continuous burning of money. There is no hope of profitability in the next three to five years, unless they abandon the handicraft workshop model and learn from Ferrari and Lamborghini to launch some affordable models, but that would lose the essence of Pagani.

It's just a big toy, it doesn't really matter whether it makes money or not, Su Yehao doesn't really care too much.

After He Shaofan asked, before he could speak, his friend Zhugan, who was suffering from gastroenteritis, calmly said:

"If you're a waste, then wouldn't I be less than a waste? My accounting firm is too difficult. With my mediocre skills, it's so painful to work there. Although constant hammering produces good steel, the premise is that I have to become iron first. With my kind of mud, no amount of hammering will work."

"...Same feeling. This kind of blunt truth sounds a bit sad and needs a Hao-customized supercar to comfort me."

Baoya Jun finished speaking and looked at Su Yehao.

Su Yehao didn't dare to respond, making a very civilized gesture, and said:

"I can't be bothered with you guys. Do you think being rich will make you happy? You can't even imagine my happiness. Forget about the remaining four. The ordinary version is more like it. How about I give you each a thousand-dollar voucher?"

"..."

In the past two years, the Internet industry has been sluggish, and the foundry and real estate businesses have continued to burn money. A large amount of capital has been invested and turned into assets, which they are reluctant to use in the short term.

Su Yehao had to borrow new loans to repay old loans. Although, with his asset situation, the bank would be stupid to cut off the loan, trying to maintain cash flow also made him quite annoyed.

Now the situation is very different.

The Internet is recovering, and the housing markets in Hong Kong, Casino, and the mainland are all in an upswing. The layout in areas such as foundry, lithography machines, and mobile terminals is also about to usher in a golden period of development.

The large-scale outbreak of various assets is not far away. Su Yehao has endured for two years for this, and finally has a bit of a feeling of getting rid of the economic recession and entering the next round of high-speed growth.

Su Yehao is too familiar with the next financial crisis, namely the financial tsunami caused by subprime mortgages in the United States. He has plenty of ways to avoid being severely impacted, and the broad road ahead is clear.

He was in a good mood.

After teasing He Shaofan and others, Su Yehao asked someone to drive the yacht to the near sea of Big Wave Bay, and used the "Su (•̀w•́)ノ" yacht to take them out to sea for a spin.

Nangong Tian bought hamburgers and fried chicken from Central, and they had a simple meal on the yacht, circled around Hong Kong Island, and then returned to Kai Tak Cruise Terminal.

This is probably what you call burning money because you have too much of it...

It had just turned dark.

Nangong Tian sat on the deck, drinking cocktails in the cold wind.

She remembered something and said:

"Oh, right, the director of the *Super Challenge* variety show wants to borrow your yacht, Hao, and come to the cruise terminal to do an episode of the show. It'll be a good opportunity to promote the shopping mall next door. What do you think? Also, it seems like this week's show will also feature Miss Vera Andrade as a guest. They probably want to use the influence of the variety show to increase her fame in Asia."

"Her? With her personality, wouldn't she be like a silent gourd on the show?"

Su Yehao shook his head with a smile and said, "As long as they don't make any segments that will dirty my yacht, it doesn't matter if they come up to film. You can just say hello to the captain then. There's no problem with going out to sea."

Hearing their conversation, He Shaofan said with emotion:

"Vera, it's been a while since I saw her. I can occasionally see her in magazines. So beautiful, what does it matter if she's a silent gourd? The audience still likes to watch, it's more pleasing to the eye. Many white girls have freckles all over their bodies at a young age. It's said that it's because their skin is too white and prone to pigmentation. Vera probably has some Asian blood, so she doesn't have this worry. She's fair and tender, the more you look at her, the better she looks. Many girls can't even dream of looking like her."

Baoya Jun brought his wife and didn't dare to comment. He only asked curiously, "I only know that many white girls have freckles on their faces. How would you know about the things on their bodies?"

The corner of He Shaofan's mouth twitched, and he immediately glared threateningly.

Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this:

"Vera rarely goes out during the day, so it would be strange if she wasn't fair. How many years have passed since her ancestors came here? It's not strange to have some Asian blood. To be honest, I sometimes advise her to take some print ads. Last year, Sweet Fish Entertainment partnered with Lancôme. They looked at many people and weren't satisfied. In the end, they took out Vera's interview photos and asked us if we could find her."

Su Yehao felt guilty and smiled without saying a word.

But this topic, after all, still turned to him. The little girl still remembered the grudge, and said at this moment: "It just so happens that you're all here, help Jiang Yu and me judge. Someone built a large villa on wasteland by the sea, but only Vera is a neighbor. Do you think that's normal?"

He Shaofan waved his hand and said, "Let me say something fair. You know my temper, I always help with reason, not with family. This sounds... a bit like keeping a mistress in a golden house."

Zhugan, drinking tequila, his face slightly red, also agreed, "Indeed, but looking at it this way, someone is really nostalgic. He doesn't pay attention to countless models and actresses, just stubbornly sticks to the bird in his own nest."

Hearing this,

The corner of Su Yehao's mouth twitched. He felt that it was because he was too arrogant at home, and now he was being targeted by them.

He raised his hand and said:

"In all conscience, the last time I saw Vera was the last time. I'm really innocent and there's nothing going on."

Jiang Yu habitually delivered a finishing blow, and silently said:

"If you didn't have a bastard, I would have almost believed it."
