“Oh, I’ve eaten already.” Upon hearing Ko Gohon’s words, Hong Dali sniffled, bored. “I’ve eaten at the breakfast shop at West Second Loop. It’s fried doughs and soy milk, coupled with some salted vegetables. I think it won’t taste too different from the one made over here. Hey, I say, are you tired or not. Just give me that car and it’s done. My time is very tight, I don’t have time to talk about all sorts of things with you, alright?”
Unfortunately, what Hong Dali said was the truth. He really couldn’t be bothered with fighting with this Ko Gohon. After all, his time was very precious. It cost hundreds of thousands per minute. Moreover, that side still had quite a lot of things waiting for him to decide on, and there were also many new setups at Chuyin’s side waiting for him to input his ideas on.
The problem was that Ko Gohon didn’t think that way. His expression became increasingly cold, as he said, “I can give you the car. Since I’ve lost the best, of course, I have to admit it. But Hong Dali, just because you’re lucky this time doesn’t mean that you’ll be lucky forever. The prices of these cars are not low. I heard that you have a unique liking to wrecking cars. I warn you, if you wreck these cars, then don’t blame me for what I’ll do!”
Hong Dali didn’t expect that Ko Gohon would say this, and he couldn’t really react to it for a while.
“I’m different from your previous opponents.” Ko Gohon smirked. “Previously, you wrecked Liu Mingcheng’s and Xiong Wei’s cars. I’ve heard about all it. But they are just them, nothing more than a group of kids that haven’t grown up. I, Ko Gohon, am the only heir to Toyoda Conglomerate. If you’re still planning to wreck it, then you can wait to suffer from my fury.”
After Ko Gohon said that, Hong Dali was a little confused.
Damn you, who exactly won? You or me?
By then, the people around Hong Dali already had angry expressions all over their faces. Ko Gohon still added fuel to the fire. “How about this. I know you’re a prodigal, but it looks like you’re not very stupid either, so perhaps I can say that you’re a smart person. Since you’re a smart person, then why don’t we talk to each other like smart people. I feel that instead of you taking away those cars of mine, why don’t I directly give you a cheque of 20 million USD. How’s that? These cars add up to a total of 14.8 million. I’ll give you a cheque of 20 million. Just consider the extra 5 million as me adding on to it, how’s that? Or else, you can consider carefully what type of compensation you’d like to get. How do you feel about my suggestion?”
What Ko Gohon meant was very clear. He was planning to spend money to ward off disaster, giving Hong Dali a cheque of 20 million to save his face.
This was truly a good plan. Though he had to spend 5 million more, he could save his face by doing so.
He’d even prepared the cheque and cockily slammed it on the table.
Unfortunately, other people were other people, and Squanderer Hong was still Squanderer Hong. They couldn’t be placed together.
Hong Dali took that cheque, and after which, he turned his head and asked, “Are there cigarettes? Give me one.”
“Ah? Yes, yes!” The male lackey hurriedly took out a cigarette and placed it at Hong Dali’s mouth. Hong Dali briefly said, “Fire!”
“Young Master, the fire is here!” The male lackey hurriedly took out the lighter to start the fire.
Thus, Hong Dali used that 20 million USD cheque and lit it up with the fire, and then used it to lit the cigarette up. He nodded in satisfaction. “It feels quite good…”
Everyone around instantly collapsed.
Taking a 20 million USD cheque to light a cigarette, probably nobody else would have dared to think of it. But Hong Dali had done that extremely effortlessly, as if it wasn’t a 20 million USD cheque, but just an ordinary piece of scrap paper.
“In that case, you’ve rejected my suggestion?” Ko Gohon looked at Hong Dali and expressionlessly said, “You’re just the son of the CEO of Sangle Company. Perhaps Sangle Company can scrape through in Heavenly State, but it can’t even enter the top 300 within the top 500 companies in the world. And I am the only heir of Toyoda Conglomerate. Toyoda Conglomerate is ranked in the top 16 in the world. Perhaps you can still fight against the Liu Family’s Turkey Software, but in my eyes, your Sangle company is nothing but an ant. A small company with a market worth only 23 billion USD, and you want to fight with me. Are you sure you’ve thought it through?”
His tone was filled with superiority as well as a deep disdain towards Sangle Company.
Upon hearing what he said, Tang Muxin, Ling Xiaoyi and the rest clenched their fists. It could be seen that Ko Gohon’s words had hurt them very badly!
Hong Dali, however, just took in a puff from the cigarette, smiled and asked, “And then?”
His voice was very calm, completely unconcerned with Ko Gohon’s threat, which extremely fit with his aura as a squandering young master.
Ko Gohon stared at that face which he so detested and decided to give him even more pressure. He knew very well what this type of young man who had all along been backed up by his family would be the most afraid of. Thus, Ko Gohon definitely wouldn’t miss this opportunity to strike Hong Dali down.
He put the teacup in his hands onto the coffee table. Then, he placed his hands towards his back and stood up, saying, “This cup of tea in front of you is the best tea in the world. Just this bowl of tea alone costs at least 50 million USD. But you didn’t drink it, which shows that you aren’t classy. In Heavenly State, perhaps it may be quite alright, but on a global scale, you’re still not worthy. I’ve given you 20 million USD out of kindness, yet you burnt it, which shows that you won’t be able to become a great person. Therefore, I’m very sorry. Perhaps it might seem very cool to you, but this has made me very unhappy.”
This time, Ko Gohon’s voice was very calm. It didn’t have the feeling of deliberately making himself seem imposing, yet it could crush Hong Dali to the ground. He didn’t intentionally make himself seem condescending, yet it was as if he was up in the sky, looking down at an ant on the ground. An ant which he could easily step and crush to death.
This was a blatant insult. Many people, upon encountering such a situation, would probably leave in fury and part ways with the other party in order to be able to hold their head up high.
Of course, perhaps a more powerful person would throw some harsh words to Ko Gohon, and then fiercely spit.
Or else, if it were someone who wasn’t so strong mentally, he’d perhaps smile along and try his best not to make Ko Gohon so angry.
The entire first-floor lobby in the Imperial Hotel was completely silent.
The people at Hong Dali’s side held their breaths, waiting for Hong Dali to make a decision. To them, Hong Dali meant everything to them.
Even if right now, Hong Dali made a command to get them all to take out their exoskeleton armors and kill Ko Gohon and his group on the spot, they wouldn’t have the slightest hesitation.
However, the progression of things was completely unexpected.
Hong Dali grinned and smoked again, then threw away the cigarette stub. He stood up, looking at Ko Gohon as he smiled and said, “Actually, I’d initially come today just to collect the cars. I won’t go to the extent of being so calculative when faced with a retard like you.”
This time, it was Ko Gohon’s turned to be surprised. “What did you say?”
Hong Dali stared at him with an expression as if he didn’t have a care about anything. He slowly said, “Actually, I’m really not a person with much ambition. I’m truly lacking in terms of being classy, and I’ve never thought about becoming someone great. But you shouldn’t say this in front of my face, especially in front of my Xinxin. She’s my fiancée.”
Anyone would be making an extremely serious provocation by saying that the other party didn’t have class and wouldn’t be able to be a great person in front of his fiancée.
Though Hong Dali was carefree, that didn’t mean that he was a pushover.
Tang Muxin blushed, and her white hands gently clasped her chest, and then she lowered her head.
Hong Dali’s expression instantly became a little sterner. “So now, I’ve changed my mind. Initially, when I heard you say that your family was the top 16 in the world and my family couldn’t even enter the top 300, I was planning to wreck these few cars of yours. Afterward, you said that I didn’t have class and wouldn’t become a great person, I suddenly had a new idea. And now, I feel that this idea is really not bad.”
Ko Gohon suddenly felt that he had done something he shouldn’t have.
By forcefully suppressing that unknown anxiety in his heart, Ko Gohon tried his best to make his voice sound calmer, saying, “Since you’ve already thought it through, then why not…”
“Mm, I’ve thought about it very clearly.” Hong Dali grinned. “Since you’ve said so much in a longwinded manner, I feel that I might as well accept some of your opinions. Speaking of which, these few cars are good—ten cars for 15 million, en, worth the money! Impressive enough! It’s truly quite a pity to just wreck them like that.”
Upon hearing Hong Dali’s words, Ko Gohon instantly smiled.
Moreover, Hong Dali was still praising. “Aiya, the name of the cars are also good—Toyoda Prime Minister-grade limousine, Toyoda Emperor-grade limousine. Look at that, how great do these names sound? With such good names, if I wreck them, what a shame it would be. Don’t you think so?”
“Yes yes yes,” Ko Gohon hurriedly said, “These are the works that our Toyoda Conglomerate is the most proud of!”
“Mm, so,” Hong Dali touched his chin. “Since it’s quite a pity to wreck them, and I don’t have much use for them either, why don’t we do this.”
Why don’t we do what?
Currently, probably everyone asked themselves this question in their hearts.
Hong Dali grinned and said, “I’m preparing to construct a city in the outer area of Tianjing Mountain. This city would naturally have taxis. These cars are so good, then they can at least serve as the taxis at that new city of mine. Aiya, Prime Minister, Emperor, how great the names are, and they can get onto them as long as they pay money. This idea is very good. En, en, not bad!”
Once Hong Dali said that, the entire first-floor lobby in Imperial Hotel was first silent for a while, and then, everyone completely erupted!
Tang Muxin loudly praised. “Dali, good job. I love you so much, hee hee!” As the little lass got more excited, she went forward and kissed Hong Dali on the cheek.
Ling Xiaoyi smiled and said, “Young Master, then, should I contact the construction team at Master’s company and choose a location to start the works?”
The rest of the lackeys excitedly said, “Young Master, it’s not a problem if we’re the drivers! Definitely not a problem. Aiya, they’re all good cars, we guarantee it won’t be scratched or hit!”
Everyone knew how to rub salt into the wound. Hong Dali naturally wouldn’t forget to add fuel to the fire. “Oh right, by then, we have to scrape off the Toyoda car logo. Or else, I’m afraid young master Gohon won’t be very pleased!”
