A fleet of Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, and Hummers was driving along the highway in Beijing Shunyi District.
Gu Bai and Principal Wang sat across from each other by the window of an extended Hummer, with an opened bottle of Romanée-Conti exuding its aroma, filling the entire car with a rich scent.
"I usually only take out a Romanée-Conti at big parties, and I guess you're the only one in Hua Country who would casually drink it for leisure."
Principal Wang sipped the wine with squinted eyes and sighed softly.
Hearing his words, Gu Bai also chuckled lightly and said, "You know, I don't really understand wine. Top-notch wines like this and those that cost a few dozen per bottle aren't that different in my eyes. I just go for the vibe."
Principal Wang shook his head helplessly.
Only Gu Bai could say something like that without it sounding pretentious. If an average person tried to pull it off, they wouldn't manage it so smoothly.
"But if you like, you can send someone over to get some from me. A few days ago, Hugh Grosvenor sent over more than a hundred bottles on behalf of his family, all about the same quality. I don't have many chances to drink them, so it's better to let someone like you who appreciates wine enjoy them fully."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
"Why so formal between us?"
"I have to say, once Hugh Grosvenor goes back and spreads the word, your fame in Europe might surpass all Asians. Giving away wine worth millions of Euros just like that, it seems the Grosvenor Clan is determined to be on the same boat with you."
Wine like Romanée-Conti can cost millions domestically, though there are cheaper ones. But given the Grosvenor Clan's stature, they wouldn't gift the cheap kind.
Gu Bai understood what he meant and smiled lightly.
"To me, none of this really matters. My primary goal is always to enjoy life, not to have great power. Power is just an accessory to facilitate my enjoyment."
Having known Gu Bai for so long, Principal Wang understood that Gu Bai was genuinely not pretending, and the two exchanged smiles and gently clinked their glasses.
The extended Hummer drove slowly along the road, with Gu Yi's top-notch driving skills allowing only the slightest ripples in their glasses of wine. Coupled with the soft music inside the car, the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.
Because Gu Bai ordered Xu Beibei not to drink, she could only sit at the back pouting in frustration, biting the straw of her yogurt with her baby teeth, her eyes occasionally glancing at the Romanée-Conti on the wine rack beside her.
"Bro, what are we doing today?"
Trying to distract herself, Xu Beibei proactively asked Gu Bai.
Gu Bai turned his head, glanced at her, and smiled, "In a few days, I'll be taking you to Goryeo. I ordered a private plane from Airbus Company, and it arrived a few days ago. Since I have time today, I'll take you over to have a look. If you're not satisfied, I'll have them modify it."
"A private plane?"
Xu Beibei asked with a face full of excitement.
"Kind of. There's a bit of a difference between Airbus Company and Boeing Company. Generally, private planes are ordered from Gulfstream Company and Boeing Company, as they mainly deal with commercial aircraft. Airbus primarily focuses on passenger aircraft."
Hearing Gu Bai's implication, Principal Wang couldn't help but say, "It wouldn't be a passenger plane conversion, would it?"
Gu Bai nodded slightly.
"Damn, I should have guessed. You always complained about my dad's Gulfstream 650. If you're buying a private plane yourself, you'd definitely go for the one with the highest comfort!
Come on, which model did you order?
A320? A330? A350? Or A380?"
Gu Bai smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when we get there."
Each of these models costs at least one billion USD.
"No need to say more, given your previous reluctance to buy, and now that our Wanda Group and the Grosvenor Clan have helped you earn over ten billion USD, with your nature, it has to be the A380."
As soon as he finished speaking, Principal Wang saw the smug smile on Gu Bai's face and knew his guess was right.
For a moment, Principal Wang could only take a large gulp of wine to suppress his envy.
.............
20 minutes later, the convoy arrived at the Airbus Company Huaguo headquarters.
Eli Cox, the president of Airbus Company Huaguo, was waiting at the entrance with several executives and engineers.
As Gu Bai's convoy arrived, Eli Cox quickly tidied up his appearance and solemnly said to his subordinates, "The person you're about to meet is our Huaguo Region's biggest private customer. Please show your utmost respect. If any of you cause the customer to be dissatisfied, you can swim back to France through the Arctic Ocean!"
The executives quickly nodded and tidied up their appearances together.
First, Gu Bai's entourage and bodyguards got off, gathering at the Hummer's door, forming two long lines, and Gu Yi got out from the driver's seat immediately to open the car door for Gu Bai and the others.
This kind of scene is rare in Hua Country, but for Eli Cox from France, it seemed quite normal. In his eyes, with Gu Bai's wealth and status, having such a display was perfectly normal.
The Hummer's electric step slowly touched the ground, and Gu Bai was the first to step out.
