Chapter 297: This Villain is Not Quite Competent
Leaving the Mercedes-Benz 4S Store, Shen Yuan followed the recommendation of the salesperson and arrived at the Star City Car Exhibition.
The exhibition was held at the provincial exhibition center, with a rather grand name "Star City International Auto Expo."
On the way there, Shen Yuan checked online and found that this car exhibition could be said to be the largest in scale and broadest in brand coverage that Star City had seen in nearly two years.
Besides family car brands, there were many sports car brands on exhibit: Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren...
With the clingy Fang Minhui hanging on his arm and the petite Chen Ling following behind, Shen Yuan entered the exhibition center.
The place was packed. Shen Yuan took a quick look around and noticed that the exhibition was basically full of lsp—which is to say, wherever there was a car model, there would always be a cluster of men with mobile phones.
"Yuan Babe, what kind of car are you looking to buy? Weren't the many 4S shops we just visited satisfying enough for you?"
Fang Minhui spoke, leaning on Shen Yuan's arm like a delicate little bird.
"The cars at the 4S store are too cheap, I'm here at the exhibition to pick out something solid."
Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
Shen Yuan replied nonchalantly, his gaze silently sweeping across the exhibitors.
The cars at the 4S store are too cheap... Chen Ling's mouth twitched, finding it amusing as they had just been at the Mercedes-Benz 4S Store, where even the cheapest C-Class was priced at 300,000, and the most expensive cost over 3 million. Yet Shen Yuan seemed uninterested in all of them.
She suspected Shen Yuan was just showing off, but he did have the capital to do so, especially since he had just bought Fang Minhui a car worth over 2 million.
"So, how expensive a car are you looking to buy?"
Fang Minhui asked, tilting up her fair chin.
"Let's take a look first, the price isn't the issue, it's mainly whether I like the model or not."
Shen Yuan was not just looking to buy a car, but also to make a big splash, since he had just made a profit of 4.36 million buying the car for the class belle.
He suddenly realized how inflated his ego had become; 400 plus million was being described with a 'just'.
System, you've really spoiled me rotten!
But then again, figuring in the 400 plus million, he had about 65 million in liquid assets. Having maintained a net worth in the tens of millions for quite some time, Shen Yuan was no longer content.
Human desires are endless. Once, when Shen Yuan had no car, he would think how nice it would be to own one, even if it was just a few tens of thousands.
Later, when he got his hands on a 4 Series, he would often think about upgrading to something better, and once he had a Defender, he felt it was nothing special.
Balances were no different. Initially, when he started cashback swiping, earning tens of thousands could excite him for ages, but now, having millions credited barely caused a ripple in his heart.
With balances exceeding 60 million on two cards, it was a staggering amount for the average person, but Shen Yuan was always thinking about adding another zero.
There was no need for such a large sum of money, but subconsciously, he felt the more money, the better.
Shen Yuan thought to himself that once he achieved a real goal, he would probably start yearning for ten smaller goals.
Glancing at the class belle beside him and then at the scantily clad car models, Shen Yuan sighed inwardly—indeed, people are never satisfied.
"Hisss…"
A sharp pain shot through Shen Yuan's waist, and he couldn't help but cry out. It turned out the class belle had pinched him.
"Why did you pinch me?"
Fang Minhui pouted her pink lips, "Why are you looking at them? Is my figure not better than theirs?"
Shen Yuan smiled slyly, "You do have a better figure than them, but home flowers are never as fragrant as wildflowers."
"Hisss…"
Another sting on his waist, and Shen Yuan relented, "Alright, alright, I'll stop looking."
The first exhibit they passed was the domestic section: Ideal, Nio, BYD, Hongqi... The most expensive exhibit car here was probably the Weiwang U9, with a listed price of 1.68 million.
The front of the U9 in the domestic section had the most people, a small number looking at the car and a large number looking at the car model's legs.
There was one uncle whose eyeballs were about to pop out, seemingly desperate to press his camera up against the model's thighs.
Chen Ling couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, "Such a lustful ghost!"
Fang Minhui tilted her pretty face up and whispered, "Yuan Babe, isn't that uncle doing what you wanted to do?"
Shen Yuan retorted righteously, "Nonsense, how could I ever do such a sleazy thing?"
Fang Minhui snuggled up to Shen Yuan, rubbing her soft upper body against his arm, "It's fine, I have a similar dress, I'll wear it for you tonight."
Shen Yuan's expression remained unchanged, "I am a gentleman, I don't understand what you mean."
Fang Minhui "huffed," "You big pig's hoof, we'll see if you're still stubborn tonight!"
...
What the class belle would do tonight to make Shen Yuan "soften" he didn't know, but after arriving at the sports car section, he was dazzled.
There were many sports cars on display here, with their low-slung stances and aerodynamic bodies, the sheer mechanical presence hit Shen Yuan and ignited the supercar dream in his bones.
Especially the white sports car in the C position, with its aesthetically pleasing lines, matte black wide rims, and cool black rear spoiler.
It looked like a futuristic warrior.
"This car is so cool!"
Fang Minhui also couldn't help but exclaim, imagining her own Yuan Babe driving this car, with her in the passenger seat, cruising down the street.
The head-turning rate would be off the charts.
Shen Yuan recognized it as a Koenigsegg by the badge, but didn't know the model, so he walked over to its information placard.
The content on the placard was simple and clear.
Model: Koenigsegg Jesko
Origin: Sweden
Other: Limited to 125 units worldwide
Koenigsegg is among the top tier of sports car brands in the world, alongside Bugatti and Pagani, all known for their ultra-luxury sports cars. Each vehicle is handcrafted, signifying uniqueness.
Shen Yuan checked online and discovered that this Jesko model was made of bare carbon fiber, with the cost of a single car reaching $440,000, which translates to over 3 million in domestic currency.
