Chapter 663: Gifts

Eva hugged Yang Meng with a smile, leaving a lipstick mark on Yang Meng's face: "Yang, I'm so glad you still remember me!"

Yang Meng pointed to his brain: "I have no other benefits as a person, but my memory is not bad, and I can generally remember what I am willing to remember, especially a beauty like you, how can I forget?"

Eva pretended to be shy: "Mr. Yang, you are so good at talking, as a woman, I am willing to let you coax you to death." ”

Yang Meng smiled and asked Don Field, "Old Tang, did you charter the executive lounge of the Four Seasons Hotel?"

Don Field smiled: "Yang, you really misunderstood, in fact, this is really not difficult, I am also one of the shareholders of the Four Seasons Hotel." ”

"Huh?" Yang Meng was stunned when he heard this.

Don Field laughs: "It's called an exchange of shareholdings, and my Aria Hotel actually belongs to MGM Resorts International, and 'Four Seasons' belongs to the 'Four Seasons Hotel Group', and we can achieve mutual development through the exchange of shareholdings." In Han language, I'm 'colleagues' with Bill Gates and Prince Alwaleed, because we are both shareholders of the Four Seasons, and although I don't have as much of a stake as them, it's really not a problem to use the executive lounge. ”

Yang Meng stretched out his thumb: "You are really ready." I'd like to see what gift you've got for me. ”

Eva grabbed Yang Meng's arm and asked, "Mr. Field, can I show Mr. Yang the first gift?"

"Of course you can!" Don Field smiled: "Of course beautiful things need to be shown by beautiful people, Yang, I'm really not exaggerating at all, after knowing the news of your disappearance, Eva washed her face with tears every day, but Eva, you are more competitive now, Yang has a beautiful boy." ”

Eva looked disappointed when she heard this: "Mr. Yang, how can you do this?

Yang Meng smiled and said nothing: If you really say it, I will listen to it seriously. But did he really believe it?

Eva took Yang Meng's arm and walked through the welcome procession composed of two rows of 'bunny girls' into the executive lounge, there was a table in front of him, on which was a square object covered with silk cloth, as long as you were not stupid, you could ------know that this was a car, but it was just a miniature car depending on the size.

What is this?

EVA DIDN'T PRETEND TO BE MYSTERIOUS, AND DIRECTLY LIFTED THE SILK CLOTH ON THE BODY, INSIDE WAS A MINI COOPER WITH A RED BODY AND A WHITE ROOF, THE APPEARANCE IS NO DIFFERENT FROM THE MINI COOPER SEEN ON THE ROAD NOW, THE PRICE IS TWO OR THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND SMALL CARS, THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS: THE BODY OF THIS CAR IS PRINTED WITH THE TWO NUMBERS '69'.

Yang Meng looked surprised when he saw it, he tilted his head and looked at Don Field: "I said Old Tang, this gift is a bit expensive, right?"

Don Field smiled: "My biggest hobby is collecting cars, and if I give you a gift, I don't think I can get any other gift, only this car you may look at." ”

Yang Meng shook his head: "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, you should keep what you like, you shouldn't give it to me." ”

As a result, Don Field showed a sly smile: "Yang, don't worry, in fact, the blue '57' is also in my hand." These two cars are a symbol of our friendship. ”

Yang Meng was silent for a while and said, "Old Tang, I accepted this gift, no matter what happened before." Besides, I promise you, if you go back and let the quack be abolished, come to me!"

"You。。。。。。 Don Field was shocked.

YANG MENG MADE A 'SHHH' GESTURE WITH HIS FINGER TO HIS MOUTH, AND THEN LOOKED CAREFULLY AROUND THE SMALL MINI COOPER.

NOW IN HANGUO, CARS LIKE MINI COOPER HAVE ALMOST BECOME WOMEN'S CARS, AND NINE OUT OF TEN OWNERS ARE GIRLS, AND SOME PEOPLE EVEN SAY THAT IT IS A 'SECOND MILK CAR'. IN FACT, THE MINI COOPER IS A RACING PEDIGREE THROUGH AND THROUGH.

MORE THAN 70 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS A LEGEND IN THE WORLD OF MOTORSPORT CALLED JOHN-COOPER, ALSO KNOWN AS JOHN COOPER, WHO WAS NOT ONLY A RACING DRIVER, BUT ALSO A CAR DESIGNER AND ENGINEER, AND THE OWNER OF THE FORMULA 1 CHAMPION TEAM COOPER.

At the time, the manufacturer of the MINI was BMC, and John Cooper and BMC made an agreement to design a MINI COOPER race car to race on the track.

JOHN COOPER DID SUCCEED, WITH THE MINI COOPER COMING OUT IN 1961 WINNING NO LESS THAN 153 RACES THE FOLLOWING YEAR! JOHN COOPER STRUCK WHILE THE IRON WAS HOT AND LAUNCHED THE MINI COOPER S AND MINI JOHN COOPER Cars such as WORKS continued to compete on the track, and in the next decade it really swept all rally, and even in the Monte Carlo Rally, which was the most difficult and high-level at the time, it beat many large-displacement cars to achieve three consecutive championships!

THAT DECADE HAS BEEN HAILED AS THE GOLDEN DECADE OF MINI COOPER!

But then BMC did not manage well, and the brand changed hands several times, until it was acquired by BMW in 1994 and became one of the three independent car brands under BMW, and then became one of BMW's best-selling brands.

ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO BUY THIS CAR NOW ARE GIRLS, BUT IT IS NOT BLACK OR BLOWN, THE MINI COOPER IS DEFINITELY THE BEST RALLY CAR UNDER BMW, THERE IS NO ONE!

FROM 2010 ONWARDS, THE MINI COOPER RETURNED TO THE RALLY TRACK AND BEGAN TO COMPETE IN THE WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP FOR TWO YEARS AS A MANUFACTURER TEAM. In his first year, he finished on the podium twice in six races, and in his second year, he finished runner-up in the opening race.

And in 2011, MINI began to participate in the Dakar Rally, and in 2012 they quickly won the championship, that year the Dakar Rally top 10 in the five MINI, and they only sent a total of five MINI to participate; the next year they continued this feat, still winning the championship plus five cars in the top ten; in the third year, not to mention the three consecutive championships, seven MINI in the top ten; and the next idea, they completed an unprecedented four consecutive championships.

And what's even more ridiculous: they're not just doing great things in rallying, they're also in the Touring Car Championship! Whether it's a rally or a touring car, their cars are all ordinary MINI COOPER1.6T modified and then won, and if there's any one of the best cars in the world right now, the MINI COOPER is definitely one of them.

MINI HAS LEFT A LONG HISTORY OF MOTORSPORT, SUCH AS THE 'NO. 177' CAR THAT WON THE MONTE CARLO RALLY THREE TIMES IN A ROW, THE MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS THAT WON THE SECOND PLACE IN THE WRC, THE MINI ALL4 RACING OF THE DAKAR RALLY BY GALLIC DRIVER MATTHEW BAUMEL, AND THE SAME CHAMPIONSHIP CAR OF THE GALLIC DRIVER 'MR. DAKAR' PETER HANSEL, ALL OF WHICH ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER BY CAR COLLECTORS.

BUT THE MOST PRIZED MINI COOPER WAS UNDOUBTEDLY THE CAR THAT JOHN COOPER DROVE HIMSELF, WHEN A '57' AND A '69' WERE A NIGHTMARE FOR ALL TEAMS.

THE '69' IS THE NUMBER THAT THE MINI COOPER FIRST APPEARS ON THE FIELD. It became '57' later. This Don Field gave the '69' car to himself, I have to say that Don Field really cares------ any collector is reluctant to give away his precious collection.

That's why Yang Meng agreed to help him save his life.

Yang Meng opened the car door and sat in the car and shook the steering wheel, feeling the feeling of driving------ men almost like speed, Yang Meng is no exception, otherwise he likes motorcycles so much?

After all, this is a nearly 70-year-old car, and it is still a racing car, so the interior is very simple and the feeling of sitting is much worse. But he could feel what it was like for John Cooper to ride the car on the track.

"Yang, what are you thinking?" Man Rui asked curiously as he watched Yang Meng hold the steering wheel and not speak.

Yang Meng smiled: "I'm wondering if this car can still be driven." ”

Don Field and Manray and Michael Jones all have black lines on their faces, is this car driven? It's for a look! Do you know what a collectible is?

Man Rui suddenly laughed: "Old Tang, what I said is right, the Han people pay the most attention to 'pragmatism', Yang, look at my gifts。。。。。。 Of course, I'm not as wealthy as Old Don, but I have more heart than him. ”

He directly took out a small box with car keys inside.

"Or MINI?" Yang Meng was stunned.

"OF COURSE IT'S NOT YOUR AVERAGE MINI! IT'S ALL 4 RACING! BUT IT'S NOT A CHAMPIONSHIP CAR, IT'S THE 'HYGMAN' CAR COMPANY THAT I FOUND BASED ON THE MINI 'DRIVE' SUV, WHICH IS GUARANTEED TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE MINI X-RAID TEAM THAT COMPETED IN THE DAKAR RALLY. BMW'S 3.0L TWIN-TURBO DIESEL ENGINE WITH A MAXIMUM POWER OF 315 HP AND A PEAK TORQUE OF 700 NM IS EQUIPPED WITH A SIX-SPEED FRONT-SPEED SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX FROM DEV SADEV, A RACING CLUTCH FROM AP RACING AND A DIFFERENTIAL FROM XTRAC. EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN-POWERED 'LATITUDE' LONG-DISTANCE RALLY TIRES, THEY ARE PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT DOWNSTAIRS, WHICH IS TOO BIG TO CARRY 。。。。。。。 Damn, don't look at me like that, I don't know anything about these terms, it's just that rote memorization seems high. This time, not only did Lao Tang make preparations, but I also made preparations, okay?"

Yang Meng laughed out loud after hearing this: "Thank you, I really like your gift." I also went to a car show two days ago to buy a car that I usually drive, and this gift is very close to my heart. ”

"And a small gift. Don Field beckoned, and Eva pulled out a small box with a golden card: "With this card, you can stay for free at any Four Seasons Hotel Group and MGM Hotel Group hotel in the world." There is a customer service center phone number on it, and there are people at any time 24 hours a day to serve you. ”

Yang Meng looked at the card in his hand, this gift is not very expensive, but it can't be convenient! 'MGM Hotel Group' is okay, his hotels are mainly concentrated in Las Vegas, but 'Four Seasons Hotel Group' is convenient!

"What's that?" Yang Meng asked, pointing to the window.

From the moment he entered, he saw a motorcycle covered with a red cloth. Needless to say, it's also a gift for yourself. But why haven't they introduced themselves all the time?

Eva walked over very intimately and lifted the red cloth to reveal the true face of the motorcycle, but Yang Meng frowned after seeing it.

"Huh, what's going on with this car?"
