Chapter 518 Ji Yang Arrives and Comes to the Auto Show (4K 2-in-1)
It's not the first time Xia Yu has lived in Four Seasons, this kind of beach vacation is the first time, there are no towering urban hotels, some are just beach villas, every morning when you get up and open the door, the sea is in front of you.
I heard that Bill Gates's wedding was held in this hotel, which must be unique.
After checking in the room and seeing the staff leave, Xia Yu found the welcome fruit on the table - pineapple.
Lanai was originally famous for growing pineapples, but as tourism grew, the production of pineapples dwindled until now there was only enough to supply the island's tourists, but he still enjoyed eating pineapples.
Eating sweet and sour pineapples and listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach outside, Xia Yu can also experience a seaside life in advance.
Many construction projects on the island have been approved to construction, and it will not be until next year at the earliest.
There are many good things, anyway, he is not in a hurry, he has not moved into the new home yet, and it has cost hundreds of millions of dollars to add a piece, so he has to experience it for half a year first!
After eating the pineapple, seeing that there was still some time before dinner, Xia Yu beckoned Lao Xu to go to the hotel gym to sweat together.
He has added a little bit of energy, the past two days have been tiring, people are not very tired, but the body is neglected to exercise, a little rusty, this is not good, must strengthen training.
"Buzz~Buzz~~"
Just as Xia Yu was running, the mobile phone on the treadmill shelf began to vibrate.
"Answer!"
The voice connected the phone, and Xia Yu didn't know who the caller was.
"Lao Xia, it will be carried out the day after tomorrow, when will we leave?"
Ji Yang's voice came from the speaker, and the others were still in the magic capital.
"I've arrived, but the plane has already turned back to pick you up, so get ready tomorrow morning. ”
Of course, Xia Yu couldn't forget Ji Yang, but because of the matter of Canai Island, he advanced his trip by two days, and the Sherlock was going to send people back, so he just picked up Ji Yang and matched the previous itinerary.
"So that's it? What about the car? Are you still shipping it?"
Ji Yang asked about the car, auto show + inspection? For most of the month, you must use a car? They transported the car to Europe in advance last time, and it depends on Xia Yu how to say it this time.
"What's the luck? Buy it directly at the auto show!"
Having money is hard, Ji Yang is speechless? Looks like this guy is going to turn on sweeping mode again.
Sweep the goods? Xia Yu just wants to enrich the collection and not make the second floor of the museum seem spacey, and half of the parking spaces in the exhibition hall are not full, so what is it called?
The two chatted for a while before hanging up? Xia Yu also returned to exercising.
Domestic time? On the morning of the next day, the Sherlock had just arrived at Hongqiao Airport, and Ji Yang had also packed his bags.
Yuan Qiansui went to the airport to pick up people, and the eight lucky ones selected were pulled away by her car, and stepped up the training of maids? The other four who were not selected took the red envelopes sent by Xia Yu and returned to work.
Waiting for Ji Yang to arrive at the airport? The Sherlock has just finished resupplying and is ready to take off again? Head to Hawaii and meet Xia Yu.
Hawaii is also surnamed Xia, and I don't know if the system will sign this place to Xia Yu in the future?
Is such an idea very tempting? However, there is no possibility of operation at all? As a state under old magnesium? Hawaii is no different from its other fifty brothers.
If you can get Hawaii by signing in, then you can get California, Texas, and New York tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow he can sign the whole earth as a chief.
And that's not all, think of the Overworld as Universe 1, and countless parallel worlds.
Xia Yu felt that this was not a sign-in system, this was directly a plane god system, which helped him condense his godhead.
After opening his brain, he saw an F22 soaring away, and sighed that this chrysanthemum is so beautiful, and there was an Airbus A319 behind him and landed, looking at the color scheme and the letters on the fuselage, it seemed to be his Sherlock.
Honolulu International Airport is a dual-use airport, in addition to civil airliners, you can also see a lot of military aircraft, which reminds Xia Yu of the airport in his hometown, such a scene is also common.
Sure enough, the military-civilian use of the aviation industry is the mainstream, economical and affordable, and his private jet will also be used by the military and civilian in the future.
There is no requirement to stop bombers, fighters should always be able to take off and land!
The country is not allowed to play this, and no one should care about it when you go abroad on your own island.
"Old Xia!"
Before Xia Yu finished thinking about it, Ji Yang greeted him on the gangway.
"Come here!"
The group boarded the plane, and the Sherlock took off again, ready to head to San Francisco.
Ji Yang is more regretful, he just arrived in Hawaii, and he hasn't gotten off the plane to experience the tropical style, so he set off again, but he is not on vacation this time, the main purpose is to study, and don't think about going to the auto show or a seaside vacation or something.
Hawaii is not close to San Francisco, a straight-line distance of 3,850 kilometers, farther than to Cana, and it takes 4 hours for the Sherlock to fly vigorously, and Ji Yang feels that he is withering again.
It's not easy to get to the other side of the world, no matter how good a private jet is, you don't have a temper, but think about tomorrow's Pebble Beach Car Show, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it.
Xia Yu and Ji Yang chatted about the itinerary, but he didn't say anything about Canai Island, after all, it is now an uninhabited island with nothing, and there is nothing to show off.
Not only Ji Yang, but also his parents will not shout, and it is not too late to tell them when the project is almost completed.
"Lao Xia, I heard that there are a lot of good cars at this auto show, all of which are classics among the classics. ”
"I'm only interested in classics that can be sold. ”
If you can't sell it, why don't you just stand by and take a look?
This is not Xia Yu's style, his style is to take it when he likes it, and he doesn't have so many empty heads.
"If you want to buy a car, you have to go to the auction, and many of the classic cars exhibited are the meat of the owner's heart, so they are reluctant to sell it!"
Ji Yang has a much deeper understanding of the Pebble Beach Auto Show than Xia Yu, and he also knows that there is a sky-high Ferrari to be auctioned this time, and its same model has been auctioned for a sky-high price of 38 million+ US dollars.
You must know that the Sherlock is only more than 80 million US dollars, and if you catch up with the half-price coupon, a car with a little more is enough to replace an A319-CJ.
Hearing Ji Yang talk about this car, Xia Yu couldn't help but be speechless, he had never seen such an expensive Ferrari!
"How is it, Lao Xia, are you interested in this Ferrari 250 GTO?"
"No, you can buy a Bugatti Chiron for this price, it's too expensive. ”
Xia Yu is willing to pay for his favorite brand, but he doesn't like Ferrari that much, so this car is not his cup of tea.
"I don't like it very much, but I can't stand the foreigners who like it!"
This time, Ji Yang and Xia Yu stood on the united front, they became friends because of Bugatti, and both of them liked Bugatti more than Ferrari.
"But the Ferrari is still going to be bought, I don't even have a Ferrari yet, it's time to get into the pit. ”
Xia Yu continued, he wanted to buy a cheaper Ferrari, the kind that costs millions of dollars, and tens of millions of dollars can buy a second-hand fighter.
In Xia Yu's eyes, 50 million RMB is worth a tea cup, and 40 million US dollars for an old car is not worth it.
If others think it's worth it, then others will buy it, anyway, he won't be coerced by consumerism, he only listens to his own wishes.
"I also want to get into the pit, but I still have to keep the money to buy a new car, so I can only talk about it next time. ”
Ji Yang is more fond of Bugatti than Xia Yu, he bought two Bugatti with real money, unlike Xia Yu, who was a gift package from the system at the beginning, and later fell in love with this brand.
This time Bugatti released a new car, Ji Yang must have to support it, even if he paid the sky-high luxury car tax twice, he couldn't afford to hurt it.
If he can get one this time, he will consider whether to keep it abroad, or like Xia Yu, take the path of temporary entry, which can save a little bit.
It's enough to have two street cars, and then buy them for collection.
But to be honest, he still envied Xia Yu for being like this, he could collect the cars he wanted according to his interests.
It's amazing to start your own business, unlike him, who is not tough when he talks to his father.
Of course, it's not hard to use his father's money, Xia Yu uses the money of the system, and all the money he earns is invested in reproduction, and he doesn't pay dividends or anything, who makes his money more distressed!
Four hours later, the Sherlock docked at San Francisco International Airport, and Xia Yu set foot on the North American continent again.
I used to go to the Maple Leaf Country, and it was the first time that Lao Magnesium came here, and it looked very fresh.
The delegation is still in China, and they will not arrive in the country until they finish the auto show, so they don't have to worry about the itinerary.
After getting off the plane, they went to the hotel first, and they stayed at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco this time, and the president set more than 10,000 US dollars a night, which was about the same as in China, and it was really in line with international standards.
Xia Yu chartered for twenty days and directly got the lowest discount, and the hotel car was also free, but he still wanted to drive his own car.
With an International Driver's Permit, you can drive in most countries in the world, which is still very convenient.
After putting away their luggage and settling down, the group came to the Pebble Bay Golf Course in a hurry.
There are no tall exhibition halls, large lawns are booths, and there are already many cars parked here, all from all over the world, and even from all over the world.
This is the classic car part of the Pebble Beach Auto Show, and major manufacturers will also use it as a platform to release their new cars or concept cars.
Xia Yu is not very interested in concept cars, because even if part of the power and functions are realized, he has no intention of test driving, and classic cars and new cars are more fragrant.
"Lao Xia, look at the one over there, it's a red flag!"
Ji Yang pointed to a classic car in the corner and said.
"Really, this is an intrusion into imperialism, let's see. ”
Xia Yu pulled Ji Yang up, and looked at the model This is a Hongqi CA72, and there are two national flags on both sides of the headlights.
This car was born in the late 50s of the last century, and on the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was used as a review car and slowly drove through Chang'an Avenue.
Now, 60 years later, it has come to the country of magnesium, and I don't know what ranking it will get at the Pebble Beach Auto Show.
The Pebble Beach Auto Show will award the exhibited vehicles, which represents an honor and an affirmation, and Xia Yu feels that the red flag is worth it.
chatted with a Chinese buddy next to them, and the two learned that the car was from the Rongcheng Sanhe Classic Car Museum.
The boss is also an expert in playing classic cars, and after the collection became richer, he upgraded his private car museum to a private classic car museum, which is open to the public to show the culture of classic cars.
In this regard, Xia Yu is inferior to others, his museum not only has a small collection, but also is not open to the public, only some of his friends can visit.
Let's see the situation in the future, when his collection increases, his mentality will also change, and it will not be too late to open to the outside world, but at that time, the company should have changed to a new headquarters, and he can turn the four floors into a museum area.
There is also a CA770 next to Hongqi CA72, which is also very beautiful, Xia Yu can try to collect two cars in the future and build a Hongqi exhibition hall, now he still looks at foreign cars!
Thinking so, Xia Yu met love around the corner, and he saw a pure black and elegant classic car - Bentley 8 Litre.
Bentley, it's an old Bentley.
Xia Yu has always been unacceptable to Bentley's rounded body, but the old Bentley in front of him is angular and is the most standard classic car design.
He didn't know much about the history of this car, so he asked the staff next to him, and only after asking did he know that this car was the personal car of Bentley's founder, Walt Owen Bentley, which was unveiled at the 1930 London Olympia Motor Show and cost 1,850 pounds.
Only a hundred units were produced at that time, and after more than 80 years, how much does this car cost now?
"This car is not for sale!"
Not for sale?
See you soon!
There is love around the next corner, and our love is more overflowing.
Xia Yu doesn't like concept cars very much, but there are many old concept cars at the exhibition site, focusing on the sixties and seventies of the last century, and the design at that time is still very sci-fi and difficult to realize.
Take the Ferrari he has been complaining about, for example, there is a 1970 Ferrari 512 S Modilo concept car, which is more angular than the Lamborghini, which won 22 awards when it first came out that year, but unfortunately it was not mass-produced, and there is only this one in front of you in the world.
Although it is a concept car, it can be legally put on the road in the magnesium country this time, and Xia Yu also has to lament that capitalism is rotten, and this privilege is absolutely not allowed in China.
"Lao Ji, when will the auction start, it's not too late for us to watch after the auction!"
After two turns, he could only watch but not buy, which made Xia Yu anxious.
"There are still two hundred words too late, and they will be revised after midnight. ”
