With the answer, the two went straight to the Monterrey Convention Center, but only halfway through the road, the car was jammed.

Car week, traffic jams are normal, fortunately they came early, and when the jam is over to the scene, the auction will be held in an hour, but this time the classic cars to be auctioned are all parked outside.

The first is a Porsche 356 Convertible, followed by a Mercedes-Benz 300SL, which you don't sound like you may have, but it's actually the originator of gullwing doors.

That's right, that's what the old man in the automotive industry said, especially this one is still a 1955 model.

"Lao Ji, I feel that this car is related to me. ”

"That's right, your first car is a Mercedes-Benz, let's take it if you have the fate. ”

Xia Yu's first car was Citroen Sega, Xia Yu's first car Mercedes-Benz AMGGTR, and he still had a good impression of Mercedes-Benz.

It's that some domestic dealers are quite arrogant, doing comprador work, putting the head office's pedigree, and directly smearing the brand.

His GTR is directly imported by himself, bypassing the dealer layer, but then again, the cars he bought in China, except for the two cars of his parents, are also a big bull, and the others are bought directly outside.

"You're right, take it and you're done. ”

"And what about the CLKGTR?"

After Ji Yang's fingers crossed the 300SL, he stopped on a touch of bright silver.

It's another GTR, pure silver with classic four-eye round lights, Xia Yu was deeply attracted by the appearance of this car.

"It's mine too. ”

"You cow!"

Listening to Xia Yu's domineering answer, Ji Yang gave a thumbs up.

Mercedes-Benz only produced 25 AMGCLKGTRs, and this is the ninth of them that has only traveled 1,500 kilometers in total, and it still retains the tools and manuals on board, and it is in very good condition.

This means that the price is definitely not cheap, but who made GTR and Xia Yu fateful!

It is said that the boss drives a Mercedes-Benz, but he doesn't like Mercedes-Benz cars very much, he likes other people's sports cars, and the models are very classic.

"It's a pity, there's no Audi this time, so I'll get one too. ”

Ji Yang said regretfully.

In addition to the most expensive Bugatti, he also liked the cheaper Audi.

There is no Mercedes-Benz and BMW in this auction? But without Audi, who will let people get fewer sports cars? The most capable R8 is still launched in 06, and there are not so many classic sports cars.

"That Porsche was not bad, why don't you take it?"

Xia Yu asked Ji Yang, he thought Porsche was more fragrant than Audi.

"Don't, I don't eat Porsche's face, don't you have a Porsche 917, this RUF modified version of the fourth-generation 911 Turbo won together. ”

Ji Yang rejected Xia Yu's proposal, and even started to sell it in reverse.

"It's okay, my Porsche showroom is a little free, buy it back and have a ride with Big Brother." ”

Xia Yu has a good impression of the old Porsche, and the 911 is the most classic model of Porsche, and this RUFF modified version is also a must-see boutique.

What is a RUF, right? It is to Porsche what Babos is to Mercedes, and it knows Porsche better than Porsche.

"It's really rich, and when I go back this time, the car I bought will be loaded in a container again!"

"It's too much trouble to ship by sea? Let's fly it all back this time. ”

He has bought all the cars, will he still care about the shipping cost?

"Look, it's the 250GTO!"

Ji Yang saw the most eye-catching car.

"The starting price is $3.5 million, and I heard that the estimate can be nearly $50 million. ”

"The world is so crazy, I thought it was incredible to shoot the Porsche 917K for 14.08 million US dollars in the first two editions, and there are even more ruthless here. ”

Xia Yu said with emotion.

His 917 is only 1.8 million euros, a little over $2 million.

"Who's to say it's not, but we can't say that people are stupid and have a lot of money. ”

Everyone's consumption outlook is different, maybe there are still people who think that Xia Yuren is stupid and has a lot of money!

"Let's go, let's go in. ”

Because there was an appointment in advance, the auction organizer directly gave them a number plate, and when they entered the scene, they found that it was full, which can be described as full.

"There are two more slots over there!"

Xia Yu found a vacant seat with his eyes and pulled Ji Yang over to sit down.

"Hum~~"

It didn't take long for the sound of the car's engine to sound, and I saw a 03 Alpina version of the BMW Z8 driving up to the booth.

This kind of auction method is very different from the European side, it is simple and crude, but everyone still likes it.

"The starting price is $200,000, please bid!"

Xia Yu is not a fan of BMW, and there is no BMW exhibition hall in the automobile museum, but there are several BMW heavy machines parked on the 3rd floor.

The locomotive fan is talking about him, but there is no locomotive in this auction, so he did not bid this time.

"360,000, deal!"

In the end, this old Z8 was won by a white uncle for 360,000 dollars.

Everyone applauded, and saw the working crowd roll up their sleeves and go into battle together, and push the Z8 off the booth together.

This is also a feature of the car auction here, where the car is put up for auction at the booth, and after the transaction is completed, the car belongs to the buyer, and out of respect for the buyer, they will not start the engine again.

Xia Yu can only say that the sense of ritual of foreigners here is quite strong, and the European old iron has to come on!

The cars on the auction are expensive and cheap, this Z8 is just a warm-up, the Porsche 356 convertible version in the back sold for 330,000, and then an all-aluminum body Porsche 550ASpyder in the back sold for 4.45 million.

It's also Porsche, the difference is so big, it's the shape of this 550ASpyder Xia Yu doesn't like it very much, otherwise he would have shot.

There are several Porsches in a row, and soon it will be Xia Yu's turn to take a fancy to the modified version of the 911, with a starting price of 425,000, and it rushed to 700,000 in a few rounds.

"750,000!"

Xia Yu finally made a move, and he felt that he should be able to win it within 1 million.

"775,000!"

Each time the price is increased by at least 25,000, and someone gives a new offer.

"825,000!"

Xia Yu OnePlus 50,000, the scene was instantly quiet, and no one gave a new offer for a long time.

"Bang, 825,000 deals!"

The auction is as simple as that, you don't follow, he doesn't follow, everyone doesn't follow, this thing is yours.

With Xia Yu's current salary standard, he can buy four such cars a day, and it is nothing if it is a little expensive, and it is definitely more troublesome to buy one himself than to buy it at auction, he does not have the time and energy.

The first car of the day, the 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, was also put up for auction, but the hammer price of the Porsche 911 was only its starting price.

"The starting price is 850,000 yuan, and the price increase is not less than 50,000 dollars each time!"

The starting price has doubled, and the markup has also doubled, but it is still a small matter for Xia Yu.

"1.3 million!"

After watching the first few rounds of bidding, Xia Yu finally joined the competition and won the second Mercedes-Benz in his life with 1.3 million, and the second Mercedes-Benz GTR in his life was also auctioned soon.

This car is much more expensive than the 300SL, surpassing 3 million in just a few rounds and then approaching the 4 million mark.

"Damn, is it so expensive, it's all caught up with Bugatti, it's still a limited edition. ”

Ji Yang and Xia Yu complained that he had prepared 10 million dollars this time, because he was not sure how much a new Bugatti car would cost, but now the GTR has to rush to 4 million, and the money will bottom out after buying two cars, so what else to buy Bugatti!

"3.7 million!"

Xia Yu joined the fight.

"3.8 million!"

"4 million!"

The price increase has risen to 100,000 once, Xia Yu saw that the situation was wrong, one plus was 200,000, and no one spoke up for a long time this time, I am afraid that they have given up the competition.

"4 million deals!"

The auctioneer sold the deal, and Xia Yu bought three cars in one go, spending more than $6 million.

It can only be said that it is not a 250GTO type of car, and the classic car auction is still quite cheap, and it is not as good as a vase for him.

If you want to say that you can play a dozen after paying the luxury car tax, but these classic cars are not to say that they are directly scrapped, and the annual inspection is definitely not passable, and he doesn't want to find any scalpers, let's still temporarily enter the country to engage in collections!

After winning three cars, Xia Yu's auction journey did not end there, and soon another car appeared that interested him - Ferrari F2002!

It's not a Ferrari road car, it's not a two-door sports car, it's a legendary Formula 1 car.

Michael Schumacher drove it to his fifth world championship title, and when Xia Yu saw it, he knew what he should choose for his first Ferrari.

"Lao Xia, is this an easter egg for the auction, the organizer is really awesome, and these two cars are found to warm up the 250GTO. ”

Ji Yang said excitedly.

He had roughly looked at the list of participating vehicles before, and there was no such car on it at all, and everyone on the scene was surprised.

"I want to take it, how about it?"

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and said.

"I knew you coveted Ferrari's F1, but I didn't expect it to really bump into it this time, just buy it, it's very collectible. ”

Just how to collect the value, Xia Yu attaches more importance to its practical value, it just so happens that the Modu International Circuit is built according to F1 standards, and he has to brush the lap when he buys it back.

Although the performance of the car in 2002 was certainly not as strong as it is now, he did not participate in F1 races, and we played with feelings.

"But last year's F2001 sold for $7.5 million, how high will it fetch this year?"

This is Ji Yang's question, when the F2002 was introduced on the stage, everyone in the audience was also whispering, they were discussing whether to win this legend.

Xia Yu doesn't need to discuss it, he has decided on this F2002, it would be even better if there was an F2004, that is the real god car.

"The starting bid is $4 million, please bid!"

After introducing the car's glorious history, the auctioneer announced the official start of the auction.

The starting price is the final price of the GTR, this F2002 is expensive enough, but if you change it to the F2004, I am afraid that the starting price will break 10 million euros!

Why, it's because Schumacher dominated Formula 1 for the last time in the 2004 season, winning a total of 13 races, and the absolute pinnacle made the hero's swan song, and the era that belonged to Schumacher began to slowly end after reaching its peak, until a car accident in 13 years......

In the foreigner's area, 13 is really not a good number, Xia Yu sighed in his heart, and raised his card to join the bidding.

"5.5 million!"

"5.7 million!"

The competition is still fierce, and there are many Ferrari fans among those who like classic cars and classic cars, and even many people are here for the last 250GTO, and it seems that it is not bad to spend millions of dollars to win this F2002 by the way.

It's a pity that this car Xia Yu is going to cut off his beard.

"6 million!"

Xia Yu was the first to shout 6 million, but then someone followed to 6.2 million, so what about adding more in one breath?

"6.6 million!"

This price made all those who had ideas hesitate, and the buyers of this oriental face increased the price so fiercely, they did not doubt that the competition might break 7 million, and it was possible to break 8 million.

Although it will not affect their bid for 250GTO, it is a question of whether it is worth it, 6 million they think is worth it, and 7 million premium is a bit high.

After a lot of consideration, they chose to give up, anyway, it is not the best like the F2004, there are many opportunities to meet later, but the 250GTO is different, if you can't win it this time, I don't know when it will be next time.

"6.6 million transactions, let's congratulate this buyer again!"

The number of hammer drops is a bit much, and the auctioneers all know Xia Yu, I heard that last year's legal auction in Ruishi, the guy who grabbed several magic cars was also an Oriental?

The auctioneer just thought of this, someone had already recognized Xia Yu, isn't this the young man from last year!

Xia Yu didn't expect that he was quite famous, at the moment he was still immersed in the happiness of winning the first Ferrari in his life, we are also Ferrari people, but his Ferrari is a little different from others.

Shenhao, he never takes the usual path, so he has to play something different.

People drive BMWs, let's drive BMW heavy machinery, people drive Ferrari 488, let's drive Ferrari F1 cars, people find a wife, let's ......

The auction in the future has nothing to do with Xia Yu, with this 3+1 car as the base, his trip to Pebble Beach has been very successful, that is, this time the thunder is loud, the rain is small, and the flowers are a little less.

Four cars plus commissions or something is only 13 million US dollars, which is converted to more than 80 million, less than 90 million RMB, and not 100 million.

Not to mention the trip to Xiangjiang, even the money for the last legal auction was not spent.

Xia Yu doesn't force it in this regard, just let it be, no matter how expensive the price is, we won't buy it, after all, he didn't buy a car for others to see, he bought it to please himself.

The money saved can also be used to build Canai Island, which is a big project that burns money, and I don't know if 3 billion is enough, and it will be added in the future.

Also burning money is F1, Xia Yu transports the car back, and hires a team to stay in the P room to change his tires and refuel.

In addition, with Ferrari's F1 car, Mercedes-Benz also has to be pampered, right?

Forget about Red Bull or something, Xia Yu is refreshing to drink coffee and not Red Bull, and he pays for me, the Red Bull death squad that you ordered is not cold.

With this in mind, the final Ferrari 250GTO was officially filmed.

From the starting price, the bidding for this car has entered a scorching state, breaking through 10 million in less than a minute, and approaching 20 million infinitely.

This car alone has already exceeded 100 million RMB, and soon passed 200 million, and then climbed rapidly to 300 million.

Are these foreigners so rich?

It's not that foreigners are rich, but rich foreigners have been influenced by car culture, and few rich people of this level in China will be interested in this kind of classic sports car.

Xia Yu's interest in cars was also cultivated with the help of the system, otherwise he wouldn't know what to buy if he had money.
