Mavi stood on the outer circle of the crowd, looking at the sports car exhibition stage. On the platform, aside from three Lamborghini Reventóns, there were two other cars in the center, still covered by black cloth. Clearly, the unveiling moment had yet to arrive.
Inside the inner circle, a group of Chinese spectators pointed at the stage, discussing excitedly.
"Hey? Those two cars in the center must be the Lamborghini Reventóns that were advertised in the promotional materials, right? The Lamborghini exhibitors sure know how to create suspense. Even at this stage, they're keeping the cars covered to keep us on edge," a journalist commented while taking photos and chatting with a colleague.
Surrounding the journalists were a group of wealthy second-generation heirs, who were trying to negotiate with the car company's representatives.
"Miss, the cars under the black covers—those must be the Reventóns, right? Could you unveil them now? We came all this way just to see them," one of them asked impatiently.
Just as these young tycoons were in the midst of negotiating at the exhibition stage, Lamborghini's CEO, Stephan Winkelmann, suddenly appeared in the showroom, accompanied by the exhibition organizers. His arrival immediately caught the attention of many journalists and attendees.
"Look! That's Lamborghini's CEO! He's probably the one who'll be introducing the new Reventón," a well-informed journalist whispered to his colleague.
As the crowd focused on him, Stephan walked toward the exhibition stage with a smile. However, just as he reached the halfway point, his eyes suddenly landed on a man wearing sunglasses and a simple down jacket.
In that instant, Stephan's eyelid twitched, and his heart nearly skipped a beat!
"M-Mr. Ma…" He immediately quickened his pace, heading toward Mavi in the crowd, wondering why the chairman had come in person.
But before Stephan could take a few steps, Mavi, dressed inconspicuously, subtly raised a hand to signal him to stop. He didn't want his identity exposed in public—after all, it was rare for him to experience an event without being the center of attention.
Unfortunately… his signal came too late. Stephan's reaction, combined with the surprise on his face, caught the eyes of some observant individuals in the crowd.
"Huh? That foreigner in the black down jacket—does he know the Lamborghini CEO?" a man quietly asked his friend.
His friend tilted his head, correcting him, "I think it's more than just knowing him. Did you see how nervous Stephan looked? That guy in the black jacket must be someone really important."
Those who noticed the exchange started whispering among themselves while discreetly glancing at Mavi, trying to confirm their suspicions.
Luckily, not too many people picked up on the interaction. Otherwise, Mavi might have had to slip away early, missing out on the grand reveal he had planned for everyone…
A moment later, Stephan, pretending not to recognize his own boss, brushed past Mavi and stepped onto the stage. He approached the two covered cars at the center, preparing to unveil them and reveal the surprise Mavi had prepared for the Chinese car enthusiasts.
Before doing so, Stephan took a brief glance in Mavi's direction. Then, with a smile, he reached out and pulled away the black cloth—unveiling two stunning, futuristic Lamborghini supercars!
One was the Lamborghini Reventón!
And the other… was a supercar no one had ever seen before. Not in China, not even abroad. Yet its design was breathtaking—easily rivaling, if not surpassing, the Reventón in sheer visual impact!
The moment these two next-generation supercars were revealed, the crowd—journalists, tycoons, and enthusiasts alike—was stunned into silence.
People had seen pictures and read about the Reventón, so they had a general idea of what to expect. But what was this other car? Its design was equally, if not more, impressive than the Reventón!
After a brief moment of shock, the crowd erupted in an uproar of discussion.
"Wait, what's going on? Weren't there supposed to be two Reventóns? What's that other car? It looks incredible! I want to buy both of them!" exclaimed a young heir from Shanxi, his excitement evident. He was the son of a coal magnate and had brought over 20 million RMB specifically to compete for one of the cars.
"Damn! These foreigners really know how to put on a show. Hiding such a badass car until now? Judging by the crowd's reaction, I feel like I didn't bring enough money!" sighed another wealthy young man from Shanghai.
He had just secured over 10 million RMB from his father, hoping to place an order for a Reventón. But now, with this new supercar in the mix, he wasn't sure if his funds would be enough…
What the crowd didn't realize was that the mysterious car next to the Reventón was none other than the legendary Lamborghini Veneno—a hypercar that, in Mavi's past life, had sold for over 100 million RMB each!
Standing at the center of the stage, Stephan observed the overwhelmingly positive reaction from the audience. He knew that the two supercars designed under Mavi's direction had struck a chord with the market. Judging by the enthusiasm, sales would be the least of their worries. The real question was: how many orders would they receive today?
Stephan couldn't help but feel increasing admiration for Mavi. Not only had he come up with the groundbreaking idea for the Reventón, but he had also envisioned the Lamborghini Veneno—a design so extraordinary that even Lamborghini's own designers were envious…
With a microphone in hand, Stephan addressed the eager audience in English. A translator stood by his side to ensure that every Chinese attendee could understand.
"All right, I'm sure everyone is very curious," Stephan said with a smile. "The car to my left is the Lamborghini Reventón, which has been featured in promotional materials across China. But the car to my right… I imagine many of you don't recognize it, correct?"
He paused for effect before making the grand announcement.
"This supercar is called the Lamborghini Veneno. Just like the Reventón, it was inspired by the vision of our esteemed chairman, Mr. Mavi."
Whether or not Mavi was present, Stephan had already prepared this speech. And everything he said was the absolute truth. Even the Lamborghini design team would vouch for it without hesitation.
…
The event soon entered the open Q&A session. The wealthy attendees eagerly raised their hands, bombarding Stephan with questions.
"Mr. Stephan, may I ask a question?" one tycoon called out. "How much will the Lamborghini Reventón and Veneno cost in China? And what's the process for placing an order?"
