Chapter 212

Lin Mo nodded and said, “Don’t worry, if there are any good items in the future, I’ll definitely bring them to you first.”

“Then we won’t disturb you any longer.”

Honestly, Lin Mo couldn’t tell if the old man in front of him was happy or not after purchasing the ancient swords.

It was as if spending two billion on five precious swords was as casual to him as buying a bowl of egg fried rice on his way home from work.

“Alright, young people are busy, go on with your work,” the elder didn’t insist, and turned to his female secretary, “Pack some of that tea for these two gentlemen to take with them.”

The female secretary nodded respectfully, then turned to the two and said, “Please come with me, esteemed guests.”

Thereafter,

Under the guidance of the female secretary, Hai Dong and Lin Mo each left the grand estate with a pack of tea leaves.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove smoothly along the road.

Hai Dong, smiling from ear to ear, said, “Brother, I really owe you one this time. Without you, I wouldn’t have made so much money. If it’s convenient for you, how about we have a meal together?”

“Let’s skip the meal. I’ve got things to do. Maybe next time,” Lin Mo declined, continuing, “Just drop me off where we parked earlier.”

“Come on, have a meal, and give your younger brother a chance to repay you!”

“I really have things to attend to, next time it’s on me!”

“Alright then! Since you’re busy, I won’t keep you any longer! Xiao Zhou, take my brother back to where we parked,” After giving instructions to his driver, Hai Dong added, “Brother, are you planning to sell those other items? I can help you find suitable buyers.”

After pondering for a moment, Lin Mo answered, “Forget it, not for now. I’ll let you know when I’m ready to sell them.”

Two billion was already enough to cover his expenses for a while, there was no need to rush to sell the rest of the items.

“Got it, let’s settle on that then, bro. Whenever you’re ready to sell, I’m here to connect you with buyers at any time. They might not be as lavish as the man today, but they definitely are willing to spend money.”

“No problem, then I’ll thank you in advance.”

“Brother, you’re being too polite. We’re all close here.”

A moment later, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class pulled up to the curb.

After chatting with Hai Dong for a while, Lin Mo finally got into his car and drove for a while, then randomly stopped at a roadside stall.

Even though he had just earned two billion and was now a bona fide billionaire, Lin Mo wasn’t picky about food at all and went for whatever was convenient.

Some people live to eat, while he simply ate to live.

Having a bowl of steaming hot braised chicken with rice, Lin Mo’s mind was occupied with another matter.

He was going home tomorrow, and he couldn’t possibly carry two large boxes of antiques on the train.

It was unsafe on one hand,

and he might not even pass the security check on the other hand.

Furthermore, with Zhang Li being unwell, taking the train would be even more inconvenient, so buying a car was necessary.

Although there was already a Range Rover at home, the household was equally not small and, although they also had a Wuling Mini that had been shipped before, ultimately, having an extra car was more convenient!

So… what car to buy?

The Range Rover was an off-road vehicle, so, Lin Mo’s immediate thought was to buy a sedan.

“I’ll go have a look first and just pick up a car on the spot from whichever dealership has one available,” he thought.

“Still, with the temporary plate from the Land Rover still on the car, buying another one and driving it home, I can probably expect a lecture from mom.”

“I’ll just pull Tai into it!”

…

After finishing the braised chicken rice, Lin Mo headed directly to the largest new car market in Rakshasa City.

Close to the New Year, there were many car buyers, but most of them were purchasing economical cars for household use. The more expensive luxury car brands had hardly any customers in their stores.

Lin Mo only learned today that entering Rolls-Royce and Bentley 4S stores does not require a wealth check.

Of course, it could also be just in Rakshasa City, other cities might have different regulations.

While Lin Mo was looking at cars, the salespeople were lukewarm, neither mocking nor too enthusiastic, probably because Lin Mo truly didn’t look like someone who could afford such high-end cars.

After browsing for a while, Lin Mo eventually picked up a 2024 Maybach 480, 4MATIC version.

The total cost, including all fees, was 2.33 million.

The main reason for choosing this car was that it was available immediately. He could pay for it and drive it off the same day.

Unlike Rolls-Royce and Bentley which would require a wait of about two to three months, and after thoughtful consideration, he felt that driving Rolls-Royce or Bentley right now would be somewhat ostentatious given his current status.

No rush, step by step.

Even though he had earned some money, he still needed to improve his demeanor, otherwise, no matter what kind of luxury car you drive, you’re just a driver!

After several hours of busyness, with the car keys in hand, Lin Mo drove off in his brand-new Maybach.

He had to admit,

The effect was very good this time, and basically, as he accelerated, the cars in front would make way and those beside would unconsciously leave enough space.

It was completely different from his previous Range Rover.

Upon reflection, Lin Mo came to a conclusion that he himself wasn’t sure was accurate or not.

That is, although everyone recognizes the Land Rover’s badge, not everyone can tell at a glance the difference between a 200-plus thousand Land Rover and those that cost just tens of thousands.

However, Maybach is different,

As soon as the badge is on, it immediately projects the powerful aura of a million-dollar luxury car.

Not only does it achieve the function of automatic avoidance by other cars, it also attracts more onlooker’s attention than the Range Rover.
