Chapter 1714: The Great Ben of the Great Ben!
Ordinary people will not fully understand the world of the rich, because it is not easy to reach, and the consequences of speculation can easily become the joke made up by modern people that "two old peasants imagine the luxurious life of the emperor".
An old farmer said: "I think the emperor must eat white masks every day!"
Another said: "More than that, I think the emperor must have used a golden hoe in the ground!"
It seems funny, but in fact, the storyteller is not just an ordinary person like the two old peasants in the joke, and the story ends up mocking the storyteller himself, because he can't know how the small group of people at the top of the pyramid of his time lived.
What, there are no secrets in front of the modern media?
The media is controlled by others, and people will let you see it through?
Dream on!
Aleksandr Komorowski is now one of the richest few people in Poland, and he used to be a well-informed high-level spy agent, but his concept of money is still in the initial stage of primitive accumulation, and it is really incomparable to the boss behind his own scenes.
He didn't know that a large part of the gold and treasure was in Zhang Nan's hands, and he didn't know that his boss had also obtained a large number of looted treasures from World War II little devils.
For the treasure of World War II, his own boss has long been numb.
In fact, aside from those treasures, the boss's family is not short of gold and jewelry, and even more than enough to consciously control the output of gold and diamonds.
He has a mine in his house!
Dominating the world's largest and richest gold mines and diamond mines, not to mention that the family has enough World War II gold to build houses, if those gold mines are produced at full capacity and put all their brains on the market every year, they can make the international gold price plunge!
It's awesome to have a mine at home, and what's even more awesome is that the two housekeepers and proprietors control the biggest and most powerful giant in the international financial market.
Money and wealth are really a numbers game for the boss's family. Or rather, it's a digital war game, because the boss's money is already so big that he can play a whole lot of countries!
Compared with the big boss behind his own scenes, Komorowski is not a poor ghost, at most he is an ordinary person with a comfortable life.
Ordinary people really don't understand the worldview of rich people, unless they can enter that circle.
However, rich people are also people, even if they are indifferent to money, they will have a liking, just like Zhang Nan likes to study antiques, and his brother-in-law Xiang Weirong has often gone fishing in recent years.
It's not about money, it's just about getting around.
Alexander Komorowski has already given Zhang Nan a Gil bulletproof car that once belonged to the Polish president, which will tell him that there are still three Mercedes-Benz 770Ks waiting to be mentioned, even if Zhang Nan does not have a special hobby of collecting classic cars, this is also a light in the eye!
"It's a 770K, not a 770?"
Three cars appeared in the underground garage at once, and it is really possible that this underground project under the castle hill has something to do with the mustache, at least it is also a former underground base.
He was almost numb to Imperial treasures, but not to Imperial bases, because he hadn't touched them yet.
Looking at the boss's face, Komorowski finally felt that the things he did were worth it, and said to Zhang Nan: "All are bulletproof 770K, not 770, because the whole vehicle is wrapped tightly with waterproof canvas, the humidity in the tunnel is not high, and the preservation of the three cars is very good."
The steel mesh bulletproof tires are not deflated, and the leather seats are covered with a thin layer of dust, with almost no place to rust, just like when they first entered the garage last month.
Some of my people who are proficient in cars have checked one and think that if they put on a new battery, they can force it to drive away.
Of course, boss, it is better to do a comprehensive overhaul and maintenance of the car before driving, and replace those aging rubber parts. โ
After 49 years of underground storage, Zhang Nan will not think that Komorowsky is talking nonsense - the quality of the German Daben is the world's top, as long as it is not used as a taxi, it is normal to drive for half a century, you must know that you can still see Mercedes-Benz imported before liberation on the streets of the capital a few years ago.
As for the tires, Zhang Nan is not sure whether the steel mesh bulletproof tires during World War II need to be inflated, but even if they do, it is not particularly strange that they have not deflated after half a century - a few years ago, someone found a Jeep left over from World War II in the rainforest of Indonesia, and the body was almost rotten, but two tires were still inflated!
Compared to the rainforest and the fully enclosed, canvas-wrapped environment underground, it's no surprise that the heaviest 770K in the Mercedes is still in good shape.
At this time, Nicole on the side spoke: "Three 770Ks, this is 100% related to the mustache!"
Zhang Nan nodded, if these can't be connected, then there will be ghosts!
Some say that 17 Mercedes-Benz 770K bulletproof sedans were produced, while others believe that a total of 105 were produced, because it is recorded that 88 units of the 770K Type II were produced after 38 years.
Zhang Nan is inclined to the 17-car theory, because the production of each 770K is at the behest of the mustache, and several are also used to give away, such as the habitual Italian allies, the little devil emperor, and the Soviet Union's Stalin.
Zhang Nan has a Gil bulletproof car, and this Gil's original bulletproof car was built by the Gil Automobile Factory because Stalin was stimulated by the 770K.
In Germany at that time, the 770K could be said to be a special car for mustaches, and 105 cars were obviously a little more.
No matter how many cars were produced, there were only three 770K cars preserved in the world.
But there are different versions here: some say that there are 5 cars, and one of them is still in the private hands of Quebec. But the car weighed only 2.7 tons, and it was clear that it was the 770 luxury, not the 770K bulletproof version that was proprietary to the mustache.
The mustache liked Mercedes, and when he was in prison in 1924, he was in prison (or a spacious, airy, comfortable, furnished, and luxurious private room with a wide view. In addition to writing books, he also did something very trendy: take out a loan to buy a car!
Yes, the mustache took out a loan to buy a car, and what he bought was a Mercedes-Benz.
At that time, the mustache in prison wrote a letter to the local Mercedes-Benz sales agent in the prison, offering to be able to buy a Mercedes-Benz car through a loan.
Here's what he wrote: "... The most difficult thing at the moment is that I will not get my biggest income until December, and I hope to apply for a loan to buy a car now, and these few thousand marks will be of great help to my future work. โ
On December 20, 1924, the mustache was released from prison, and on the same day, he drove the coveted Mercedes.
He would drive during World War I, but he never had a driver's license and had always been an unlicensed driver.
Of course, he prefers to have a driver serve him rather than driving himself.
Later, Mercedes-Benz introduced the 770 luxury sedan in 1930, and Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts naturally adopted it as a car.
Mustache has been using the Mercedes 770 since 1931, and in addition to Mustache that year, the Emperor of Little Devil, the Pope of Rome, and the President of the Weimar Republic Hindenburg are also loyal owners of the 770.
Nowadays, Chinese people like to call the luxury Mercedes-Benz "Daben", but in fact, this name is not original to the Chinese people in the 80s.
In the 30s, the Germans had a special German name for the Mercedes 770 "Groรer Mercedes", which literally translates into Chinese as "Daben"!
The 770 series of luxury sedans is the real Mercedes, and the 770K is even more remarkable.
In 1934, with a length of 5.6 meters, according to different details, the first-generation 770K bulletproof sedan weighing 4.3-4.8 tons was born, which is the 35-year model.
In '38, it was upgraded again and launched the 770K, codenamed W150, which was finally designated as the '39 model.
The body size of this generation model is even more exaggerated, with a length of 6 meters, a width of 2.07 meters, and a wheelbase of 3.88 meters.
The body is made of 4 mm thick special steel plates, the windshield is 50 mm thick, the rear seat cushions are also equipped with bulletproof steel plates, the floor is also armored, and the vehicle weighs more than 5 tons.
Such a heavy car can still run at a top speed of 160 km/h when fully loaded, which was as fast as lightning in those days, because it used a 7.7L inline eight-cylinder supercharged engine!
The Great Ben of the Great Ben!
Three cars appeared at once, Zhang Nan was very interested, really interested, because he really couldn't get the other three surviving cars.
