Chapter 520 Disappointing Lamborghini, That Blue Man (4K 2-in-1)

"40 million!"

The new price was shouted, and the scene was in an uproar, and there were only three people left who still had the strength to participate in the bidding.

Two of the three people are agents, and the other looks like bosses, giving people a very different feeling, but Xia Yu is not interested in their identity.

He was interested in the former owner of the 250GTO, former Microsoft executive Greg Wheaton.

In 2000, the car was bought by Reg Wheaton for $7 million, and 18 years later, it was sold again to more than $40 million.

"42 million!"

It seems that there is still a rise, and I have to say that this is really a good deal, it has outperformed the inflation rate of the US dollar in the past 18 years, and it can make a lot of money.

It will be easier for rich people to make money, which is the reason, the ability to resist risks is super strong, and there are many investment channels, unlike ordinary people, who really have nothing to buy except to buy a house, and they dare not buy it.

"43 million!"

The bid was refreshed again, and this time no one spoke again for a long time, but just when Xia Yu thought it was going to end.

"44 million!"

It's crazy, another 1 million has been added, how many die-hard fans of Ferrari are?

Of course, it is not clear in China, but there are countless rich people abroad who have grown up looking forward to Ferrari.

Maybe this 250GTO is the DreamCar they couldn't even afford when they were children, and it wasn't until now that they have gray temples and a drooping old man who has earned a net worth of hundreds of millions, and he has the ability to win this old guy as old as them.

In comparison, Xia Yu and Ji Yang, who bought Bugatti at a young age, are too enviable.

They can grow old together in their beloved cars, without waiting for their bodies to grow old and sluggish, and then walk up to the doors of these cars and shout - "Hey, old man!"

"44 million, deal!"

The final price is fixed at 44 million, and with a 10% commission fee, the true price of the car should be $48.4 million.

According to the average exchange rate of 6.9351 in November 18, it is directly more than 330 million RMB, which is really valuable.

The scene resounded with warm applause, which can be said to be endless, and everyone witnessed the birth of a record and spontaneously sent their blessings.

This is the end of the auction, the buyers who bought the car stay to pay the money, and the pure audience begins to leave the auction in an orderly manner.

Xia Yu stayed to pay the money, and he came to the magnesium country for 5 days of sign-in salary, and he didn't spend anything directly.

That's not all, tomorrow is the Bugatti new car launch, as long as it can be won, millions of dollars are absolutely indispensable.

He has a hunch that the price of this year's new car may be even more expensive than Divo.

The money was all paid, and the four cars were officially owned by Xia Yu, and the auction house helped contact a tow truck to transport three of them to the hotel where they were staying.

And what about another one?

Of course, I drove it straight back!

"Hum~~"

Starting the engine, the former track Silver Devil reawakens, and everything seems to be back to Le Mans in the 90s.

"Lao Ji, is this rearview mirror an ornament, you can't see anything. ”

When he drove the car out, Xia Yu, who found this problem, couldn't help but complain.

"It's about the same as the furnishings, the air intakes are on the roof of the car, and the view behind is completely blocked, but it's a real deal for you to buy, this car cost $1.54 million at the time, and you only tripled the commission. ”

In Ji Yang's eyes, this is not a matter, but he sighed that Xia Yu bought it cheaply, if he likes Mercedes-Benz, he will definitely not let go of this ultimate silver sword.

"You said that this car was transported back, would Lao He be envious to death?"

Xia Yu and He Jiawen are Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts, and when they see the original Mercedes-Benz GTR, they are afraid that they will drool.

"You kid is so bad, you know how to bully others. ”

Ji Yang can also imagine that kind of scene.

"Good things have to be taken out and shared, Lao He will thank me. ”

The two chatted and drove all the way back to the hotel.

Not long after, the trailer also returned.

"It's beautiful, it's a work of art!"

Leaning next to the trailer, Ji Yang looked at the F2002 like an idiot.

"I'm wondering where to get some tires for this guy. ”

Xia Yu is a little distressed, because there are generally six types of tires in F1 cars, four types of dry tires, one type of rain tires, and one type of medium type tires.

It was four dry tires that hit the car, and if he wants to play on a rainy day, what if he doesn't have them?

"Then you'll have to look to Bridgestone, which was working with Ferrari at the time. ”

Ji Yang reminded that he had also done some homework just now.

The suppliers of F1 cars have changed many times, including Bridgestone, Michelin, Pirelli and other common brands, from the beginning of the multi-plus scuffle, to the later exclusive supply, Pirelli has been under contract for several years.

If he couldn't find it, he had to use Pirelli.

"Anyway, let's transport it back first, I want to drive it on the Modu International Circuit. ”

Xia Yu patted the body of the F2002 and said.

The fastest F1 lap at the Modu Circuit was set by Schumacher in the F2004, with a lap of 1:32.238, and on April 14 this year, Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel set a new record of 1:31.095.

He wanted to see if he could run under 2 points in this F2002.

This requirement is neither high nor low, it is very suitable for novice players like Xia Yu, who is looking forward to the day when he returns to China.

"That's okay, I'll pay for the charter fee when the time comes. ”

There are a lot of night fees for Internet cafes, and relatively little for the speed track, but this is the daily life of the two.

Back in the upstairs suite, Xia Yu asked Feng Manxue to contact the airline and arrange a cargo flight.

The shortcomings of a private jet being too small are reflected at this time, if his plane is an A380, isn't it trivial to install a few cars?

If you are willing to make the cargo area a little larger, maybe the tanks can be loaded.

The flight is scheduled for the end of the month, and tomorrow they can drive other cars to the auto show.

In a country known as on wheels, it's shameful to sit in a car all the time, we have to drive and hold the steering wheel in our hands.

After a night's rest, they drove the 911 to the exhibition site early the next morning.

This time it was Ji Yang who drove, and the furious 911 was driven by him to a turtle speed, after all, there were many people who went to the auto show early, and there were many new car launches today, so there were even more people coming.

There was no choice but to drive slowly, and they arrived at the place at almost nine o'clock.

Bugatti's press conference was in the afternoon, and the two of them took a leisurely look at some old cars in the morning.

After releasing his desire to shop yesterday, Xia Yu is not so disgusted when he sees these cars that are not for sale today.

In addition to the classic car, they also watched several press conferences, and Lamborghini released the Aventador SVJ63 Roadster to commemorate the brand's founding in 1963, limited to 63 units worldwide.

This upgraded limited edition is not interesting, Xia Yu feels that he hasn't even changed the shell, and it's enough for the street car bull to have that AventadorS.

"Mr. Sherlock!"

Just when Xia Yu turned around and wanted to leave, he was directly stopped.

When I turned around, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

"Hello, Mr. Elio. ”

It was the bald uncle who received them last time, but I didn't expect him to come to Pebble Beach this time.

"It's been a long time, you were so glorious at the auction yesterday!"

Elio also went to the auction site yesterday, and he recognized Xia Yu at a glance, but he sat too far away to say hello, but he met him at the auto show today.

"It's just that some small collections have been added, and the one who won the 250GTO is the real big guy. ”

In front of the Lamborghini director, Ferrari has nothing to say for Xia Yu, who made him a real supporter of Lamborghini?

Not only has it collected all the big names of the past generations, but all kinds of limited edition models after the millennium are almost collected, which is not called support, so what else is it called support.

"We have to admit that the 250GTO was a year ahead of our company's history. ”

The old supercar is the foundation, and Lamborghini suffers a little in this regard, but it is still as glorious as Stanford in the Ivy League.

The story about Harvard and Stanford is very popular in China, some people say that it is false, but it can be spread to this extent, what does it matter if it is true and false, what is important is its core.

"But Mr. Sherlock, are you interested in our new car?"

Elio suddenly asked the question.

"Well, well, how to put it, as a fan, I would prefer your company to make some cars like Veneno and Centenario. ”

All in all, Xia Yu just thinks that this car is too cheap, and it is only an upgraded version of this generation of Da Niu, and in the case of already having an Aventador S, he is not much interested in the complete series of Aventador.

"I see, I will convey your sincere advice back to headquarters, and Lamborghini is looking forward to your visit to Italy again. ”

After listening to Xia Yu's words, Elio didn't get angry, but invited him to go again.

What is the customer is God, this is the customer is God.

"Yes, if it goes well, I'll go again in '19. ”

Xia Yu also replied solemnly.

In fact, he was going to Odili, but the countries in Europe were so small and so small, and it would be good to go on another trip to visit Maria's family.

The two chatted again, and Elio also introduced him to another HuracanEvoGTCelebration, which is limited to 36 units, and the number is even less, even Xia Yu is not interested in the big bull, let alone the calf.

Lamborghini disappointed Xia Yu this time, but the Rolls-Royce next door surprised him.

For this auto show, they launched three special edition models of Pebble Beach Gust, Dawn and Phantom, among which the Dawn with CoralSolid pink paint is beautiful, which is very suitable for girls to drive.

Buy one and give it to your senior sister?

Don't, the senior sister will never accept it, but you can consider buying one for the younger sister.

It stands to reason that Xiao Jiang will not accept it, but her family can afford this car, so she has the confidence to afford it, and it is a big deal to work for him for the rest of his life after graduation!

The senior sister seems to be working for him as well, but the reality is cruel, and the workers are different.

Yin Suya's most suitable position is still the co-pilot of Xia Yu's sports car, and Jiang Baiying can not only sit as his co-pilot, but he can also rub Xiao Jiang's co-pilot.

When the senior sister works and becomes a rich woman, he will buy her a good car!

Xia Yu and Ji Yang walked to Rolls-Royce together, and after some inquiry, they learned that the three cars were limited to a total of 13 units, and there were many people who were interested.

There was no way, Xia Yu decided to use his relationship, made a phone call on the spot, and successfully ordered a limited edition Yaoying.

"Damn, you even know the CEO of Rolls-Royce!"

Hearing the content of part of the call, Ji Yang couldn't help it anymore this time, and asked directly in surprise.

"It's also a coincidence, you know, my Cullinan, I was able to get it so long in advance, and I was looking for him. ”

Xia Yu said half-truthfully.

He opened Cullinan from the saga, and the bag contained the signature of CEO Torsten MΓΌller Otfors, who was obviously known about him, which is why he called to give it a try.

Yes, just give it a try, try it and don't break the law, just like I rub it and don't go in, what if it succeeds?

Looking at it now, it was really successful, and it was still the credit of the system, but the system itself didn't know it.

Like Rolls-Royce, Xia Yu can also get a new Mercedes-Benz car through this method, but he is currently more
