Chapter 126: 119, Tycoon! Overwhelmingly tycoon-like!! (Requesting monthly votes!)
```
"Eh, what kind of car is this?"
"Wow, this car is huge!"
"Yang, is this the car you drove here?"
Yang Hao's BYD U8 was parked right across from the building entrance, and as everyone came downstairs, they were captivated by its domineering presence.
Men are naturally interested in cars.
Sun Degang was especially intrigued by this unfamiliar model, circling around it. Many of his colleagues had already bought cars, and although he had his driver's license for a while, he was unable to afford a car because he had to pay for his kid's education.
On the other hand, Bai Wensong's eyes nearly popped out of his head at the sight of the BYD U8 in the parking spot. He always kept up with automotive news and recognized at a glance this ground-breaking vehicle from BYD, as it was the first domestic car to sell for over a million yuan, and the sales were impressive; it wasn't just all about putting on airs with a hefty price tag.
The latest BYD U8 even has an off-road version, complete with a drone that comes with the car—super cool and powerful!
This car had a very clear positioning; it was a big toy for the rich!
So, if someone could spend over a million on a large toy, they were certainly tycoon-level rich.
Lil' bro Bai Wensong was totally convinced.
He sneakily glanced at Yang Hao who was walking behind, with Sun Xinyi affectionately linking her arm through his, the two whispering to each other.
And the pair, one 172 cm and the other 182 cm tall, really matched each other quite well!
Yes, a perfect match!
The woman young and beautiful, the man wealthy and billion-rich!
As for me?
I'll choose to hitch my wagon to a star after all!
In the future, I might add another savings account customer.
With this thought, the lil' bro stepped forward and started introducing the vehicle to Sun Degang and Sun Dehai, "Auntie's husband, Uncle Sun, this car is a BYD U8, BYD's high-end brand. It costs over a million after taxes!"
"What?"
"It's a BYD??"
Sun Degang was a bit stunned, but became even more so upon hearing that this BYD was priced at over a million.
In their generation's perception, not just BYD, but all domestic vehicles were rubbish.
Even though domestic cars have gotten much better in the past two years, changing an entire generation's ingrained perceptions is a long road ahead.
For people around Sun Degang's age, when it came to buying cars, Japanese brands or other joint ventures were still the preferred choice.
Therefore, hearing that a BYD car sold for over a million yuan was incredibly shocking for him!
Sun Dehai, as the editor of the Jingmen Daily's Livelihood section, naturally had a stronger ability to embrace new things than his older brother. In fact, many at the Jingmen Daily drove domestically produced electric cars from brands like BYD, Li Auto, NIO, Peng, and others that he couldn't even name. Yet, this was his first time seeing a BYD worth over a million.
He couldn't help but remember a phrase he saw on the internet.
Before, I couldn't afford to buy a BYD, and now, I still can't afford to buy a BYD!!
But the same sentence now carried a completely different meaning—worlds apart.
"Uncle Sun, you don't know, this car has some amazing features, and it even has an emergency wading mode..."
Bai Wensong dutifully played the role of an explainer, leaving the Sun brothers baffled.
Standing to one side, Yang Hao smiled and nodded: Mm, lil' bro, you're on the right path.
The group stood downstairs for a while before the two colleagues Sun Degang had called arrived.
One was called Liu Honglin, and the other, Zhang Kai.
"Brother Gang, where are we heading?"
Liu Honglin was about the same age as Sun Degang, with a good relationship between them.
"Xinyi and Yang bought us an apartment, we're going to have a look."
As he spoke, Sun Degang introduced Yang Hao to the two colleagues as well.
"Woah!"
"Bought a new apartment!!"
Liu Honglin and Zhang Kai were both amazed, their gaze instinctively falling on Yang Hao.
Both had watched Sun Xinyi grow up, naturally not believing that Sun Xinyi, who had just been working for two years, could afford to buy an apartment. Thus, the money must have mainly come from her boyfriend.
And he did indeed look the part of a successful man...
The group split into two cars, with Yang Hao taking Sun Xinyi, Sun Nannan, and He Min in his BYD U8.
Sun Degang, Sun Dehai, and Zhang Hongli rode in Bai Wensong's Honda Accord, and along with the two drivers they had summoned, the group perfectly filled both cars.
Liu Honglin was to drive the U8, and although he didn't recognize the car, he could tell at a glance that it wasn't cheap, certainly more premium than the Accord, so he quickly took the driver's seat of the U8.
After sitting inside, he became even more certain of his judgement and curiously asked, "Yang, this car must be pricey, right?"
"It's alright."
Yang Hao did not feel like showing off to this stranger and simply called up the car's navigation using voice command.
"Uncle Liu, we can just follow the navigation..."
Yang Hao instructed him briefly, then showed Liu Honglin how to switch gears.
"City Center Manor!"
"That's a villa complex, isn't it!"
Liu Honglin glanced at the navigation destination and exclaimed.
Yang Hao nodded slightly without expanding on the subject.
The three women seated in the back were astounded...
Heading to a villa complex meant they were buying a villa!
He Min couldn't help but turn her head to look at her eldest daughter, Sun Xinyi, her eyes filled with both shock and inquiry.
Sun Xinyi was confused as well; she had no idea about Yang Hao's maneuver. Just earlier when Yang Hao mentioned buying a house, she had thought it was an ordinary residence.
Now she realized she had underestimated Yang's capabilities! With Jingmen's property prices, he certainly wasn't likely to buy just any ordinary residence...
Sun Nannan, fidgeting with her brand-new iPhone 15, had stars in her eyes. In her mind, there was only one thought: I'm going to live in a villa!!!
Hail sister!
Hail brother-in-law!!
Hmm, who isn't a little princess living in a villa!
The horoscope guide said I'd have good luck this year; turns out it wasn't about the college entrance exam but having a powerful brother-in-law!!!
She glanced subconsciously at her sister, silently praying in her heart: Sister, you must continue to work hard, don't just rest on your laurels...
Inside the Honda Accord.
"Doesn't this road lead to City Center Manor??"
```
Sun Dehai looked at the buildings on both sides of the road and said.
"City Center Manor? A villa complex!!" Zhang Hongli exclaimed in shock.
Little brother Bai Wensong was also stunned. He had thought that the other party would just buy a normal residential unit.
It turned out that he had underestimated the president's capabilities.
"Brother-in-law, what does your son-in-law do?"
"Is he really going to buy you a villa??"
Zhang Kai, who was driving, asked with a look of amazement on his face.
At that moment, Sun Degang was also clueless. As an ordinary worker, he hadn't even dared to dream of living in a villa!
But the route they were taking was leading right to City Center Manor!
City Center Manor is one of the most famous villa complexes in Jingmen. Its biggest difference from other villa areas is its location in the central urban area, unlike other villas which are located in the suburbs and not very convenient for daily life.
Because of its advantageous location, the houses in City Center Manor are very expensive, and the residents are basically the well-known figures of Jingmen.
"Our Xinyi's boyfriend is the president of the Jiangcheng Newspaper Group!"
"A billionaire tycoon..."
Zhang Hongli answered Zhang Kai, speaking in a tone filled with pride.
"A billionaire??"
Zhang Kai was astounded, then quickly said to Sun Degang, "Brother-in-law, if you strike it rich, you can't forget about us poor buddies!"
"That's his money, it's got nothing to do with me!"
Although Sun Degang said this, he puffed out his chest, still feeling quite honored.
As everyone had predicted, the leading BYD U8 really did drive into City Center Manor.
Because the lead car had notified them in advance, their Honda Accord was also allowed to enter directly!
"This is my first time coming here!"
"The greenery is really beautiful..."
Zhang Hongli rolled down the rear car window, gazing at the park-like scenery of the complex while expressing her admiration.
"Need you even mention it? This is one of the top mansions in Jingmen!"
Sun Dehai had been here before since a leader from the Jingmen Daily lived here, but he lived in a row-house area. Now, their car was heading straight for the detached villa area!
"It seems to be a detached villa..."
"Yang has too much money!!"
Sun Dehai couldn't help but marvel as well.
"How much does this detached villa cost?" Zhang Kai curiously asked.
"The cheaper ones start at 5 million!"
Bai Wensong responded, working in a bank he knew quite a few wealthy people, including some who lived in City Center Manor.
Five million??? Zhang Hongli inhaled sharply.
Sun Degang's eyes widened in disbelief. As an ordinary worker, he earned less than five thousand a month, barely making over fifty thousand a year.
Five million, he would have to work a hundred years without eating or drinking!!
As everyone was reeling in shock, the BYD U8 drove into a yard surrounded by fences, and Zhang Kai quickly drove in after it.
Everyone got out of the car and then their gazes instinctively fell upon the European-style detached villa in front of them...
Yang Hao had only seen the video sent to him by Xu Yali before, but seeing the actual villa, he nodded in satisfaction.
His secretary was indeed reliable!
"Uncle, Auntie, this is the house Xinyi and I bought for you."
"Three floors above ground, one below, the deed area is 480 square meters, but with all the extra gifted area, the actual usable area is about 650 square meters, plus the front and back yards combined add up to another two hundred or so..."
Yang Hao introduced the villa with a smile.
He Min, Sun Degang, and the others were all wearing almost the same expression.
Pupils dilated, mouths agape!
It was as if a sign of astonishment was nearly plastered on their faces.
Even on Sun Xinyi's pretty face, shock was written all over.
"Yang, this..."
Holding onto Yang Hao's arm, Sun Xinyi briefly composed herself, wanting to say something.
Yang Hao said softly, "From that day, your family became my family as well."
Woof~
Upon hearing these words, Sun Xinyi felt a breach in her defenses, a sourness in her nose.
Seeing this, Yang Hao teased, "If water comes out of your eyes, it won't be fun..."
"Uh..."
Sun Xinyi was momentarily stunned, then realized what he meant and her pretty face turned red.
"Yang, can we go in now?"
At this moment, Zhang Hongli asked eagerly.
"Of course, you can, this house is fully furnished, ready for us to move in at any time..."
After speaking, Yang Hao led Sun Xinyi toward the villa's main door, then entered her birthday on the fingerprint lock.
The group then entered the interior of the villa.
The decor was Chinese style, sober and atmospheric, very suitable for the living of people the age of Sun Degang and He Min.
"This living room is too big!"
"And it's got a high ceiling..."
"Eh, is this a gym??"
"No, this kitchen is bigger than my living room..."
Entering the villa, Zhang Hongli's eyes immediately felt inadequate. While touring around and marveling, she said.
The rest of the group was in a similar state to hers, all equally shocked by the luxurious decor and the sprawling space inside the villa.
If you could describe it with one word it would be: extravagant!
Opulence overwhelming!!
Every corner seemed to display a level of luxury that would make average people despair...
It's as if every decorative detail was saying: Poor thing, you can't afford this!!
