Growth-type Super Rich

Chapter 232: I Can Only Offer 1.1 Billion


As the Building King, Villa No. 91's land area exceeds the other 90 villas, reaching 3600 square meters.

This is evident from the villa's hall and garden. Although a 3600-square-meter residence is still quite lacking compared to overseas estates often measured in hectares, you must know that this is the Capital City, and a 3600-square-meter mansion is enough to be the envy of the nation.

The hall's decor is full of European style, with a spiral staircase leading straight to the second floor. Even the stair railings are made of solid mahogany. Although the ceiling is high, the chandelier full of medieval European style seems very low, yet the design is unique and not at all incongruous, instead appearing exceptionally luxurious and grand.

Gu Bai looked at the hall's decoration, his eyes full of satisfaction.

He was initially worried that the villa's previous owner might have used some peculiar style of decoration, which could require a lot of time to redesign after purchasing it. After all, many wealthy people indeed have "unique tastes" and consider themselves artists.

Yet so far, Gu Bai is quite satisfied. If they can settle on the price, this villa is definitely worth considering.

Principal Wang standing nearby also noticed Gu Bai's expression and secretly sighed.

The entire country knows he's the top second-generation wealthy, but spending time with Gu Bai has left him utterly defeated. When it comes to financial strength, it can only be described with four words: unfathomable.

Since he met Gu Bai, almost half a year has passed, and in these six months, Gu Bai's spending has already started to be calculated in the hundreds of billions. Compared with him, his own status as the top second-generation wealthy instantly pales; if you asked him to come up with tens of millions, he could, and if it were a hundred or two hundred million, he could grit his teeth and manage, but for this likely ten-digit mansion, he never even thought about it. Even his father, Wang Shoufu, might be reluctant, right?

"Mr. Gu, Mr. Wang, please have a seat. Mr. Warner will be here soon."

The two of them also smiled at Tino Rodlin and then sat on the enormous European-style sofa.

"Would you two like something to drink? Juice? Tea? Or coffee?"

Both are rather easygoing people, with no particular preferences in this area, so Gu Bai directly answered, "Two coffees, please."

Receiving Gu Bai's instructions, Tino Rodlin replied with a respectful smile, "Alright, please wait a moment, gentlemen."

Tino Rodlin's tone was much like the private butlers Gu Bai had encountered in hotels, yet the respect conveyed in his manners made Gu Bai feel very comfortable. He smiled and said to Principal Wang, "I wonder if buying the house comes with a butler. I really like this one."

Principal Wang rolled his eyes and said, "Not only a butler, but you'll also get a few maids."

Gu Bai raised an eyebrow and teased, "Really?"

"What do you think?"

Gu Bai didn't continue the joke.

"In all seriousness, it's likely that even if I buy this villa, I'll rarely live here. I do indeed need a butler to manage it."

Principal Wang nodded and said, "Such estate butlers are rare in this country. They are generally only popular over in Europe, after all, most high society members there are aristocrats, calling themselves noble. The wealthy new elites who became part of the upper class also preserved this style. In the United Kingdom, there are still academies specifically for training such butlers."

Principal Wang had studied in the United Kingdom and had a relatively good understanding of some European traditions.

"But if you really want to find a private butler like this, I can inquire for you and have a butler academy in the United Kingdom arrange one for you."

"Can it be done?"

"Of course, as long as you have money, what can't be done? The salary of these top-notch European-style butlers is very high, some of the best even compare with professional managers' salaries."

"Then contact one for me, preferably a female butler."

As for the price, Gu Bai didn't ask; it's not within his concern.

While the two were conversing, a middle-aged Caucasian man descended from the second floor, dressed in casual home attire and sporting a large belly. He looked to be approaching fifty, displaying the aging characteristics typical of Westerners, with the skin on his face starting to sag, yet he still wore a kindly smile.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Gu, welcome."

Compared to the butler, Warner's Mandarin was much poorer, very clumsy; without careful listening, it was indeed hard to clearly understand.

Upon seeing this, Gu Bai and Principal Wang slowly rose and smiled, "Mr. Warner, do you know us?"

Even with the lax skin on Warner's face, his smile remained undiminished, "Of course, I've been in Hua Country for three years now, you could say I'm half a Hua Country person. I know all the famous people in your country.

Mr. Gu is a young leader in Hua Country, who donated over ten billion RMB to charity. I'm quite impressed and have always wanted to meet you. Today I'm finally getting the chance. Just like an old saying in your country goes, hearing your name isn't as good as seeing you in person. Mr. Gu certainly lives up to the title of Young Leader, a true dragon among men."

"Mr. Warner, you're too kind."

Facing Warner's compliments, Gu Bai just smiled faintly in acknowledgment.

Principal Wang stood by, feeling somewhat uncomfortable but hiding it well.

There's no denying that being alongside Gu Bai makes his own shine destined to be eclipsed. His standing in the business world is not as high as Gu Bai's, and his social status in Hua Country is a notch lower than Gu Bai's too. Aside from the fame of being the son of the richest man, he has nothing that stands out for others to praise.
