At the beginning of the cocktail party, Ding Mengyao began to greet guests, even if it is a rich second generation, he has to earn pocket money, not to mention the career he likes.

SC Johnson left, went home and drove Rafa out of the racetrack, and there was a car club in the evening, the Ferrari Car Club.

"You are really a noble person!" Wang Kuan saw Zhuang Chen, and said helplessly: "If it weren't for the Ferrari Car Club today, I wouldn't be able to see your true face of Lushan?"

SC Johnson smiled and waved his hand, looking around, good guys, there are dozens of Ferraris, all kinds of colors and styles, competing with each other.

Wang Kuan put his arm around Johnson's shoulders and said as he walked: "Isn't it awesome? Eighty-eight best red devils, the largest event in China this year, many collectors gathered in the capital!"

He said in a low voice: "Don't look at me, the so-called supercar club, it seems to be pretending to be a force, in fact, it's not a fart in front of the real boss!"

"I'll take you to meet Boss Li, Li Wenhui, the father of Ferrari, who once owned a hundred Ferraris. In 1993, Ferrari was introduced to China for the first time, opening the road to the Ferrari brand. ”

"There are also Shan Zhonghui and Wu Hankai, both of whom are directors of the Ferrari Owners' Association, and good friends who are very funny and talkative. In just five years, the world has received Ferrari classic cars, and now there are 13 in hand. ”

"Especially Brother Shan, last year's classic car rally, from the capital to the magic capital, a total of 1,500 kilometers. His old Ferrari was very grumpy, and it broke down a few times, each time it was repaired until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and then it was opened again at eight o'clock in the morning, and it was repaired and repaired, and then it was repaired......"

"And Uncle Zhou, a die-hard fan of old cars and old technology, all the old Ferraris in his hands are manual transmissions, and he shouts something at every party: the manual transmission car can best represent the Ferrari classics and is the most fun to drive!"

When I came to the hall, there were a lot of people and it was bustling. Wang Kuan is also a leader in the supercar in Beijing, and he directly took Johnson into the VIP room and met several legendary collectors.

I heard that SC Johnson owned Rafah, and everyone said hello, and they were all knowledgeable people. If you want to buy a Ferrari limited edition, you must have at least five models from different periods, and you can't have any sales records, pure hobby, or even obsession.

Sit down and chat, the atmosphere is very harmonious, and the topic is all around the car. Johnson listened quietly, after all, he didn't understand much, and if he said too much, he would lose.

"I want to see a Dino when I was young, it was very beautiful, and it was love at first sight. Li Wenhui was full of anger and said casually: "Many people like to ask me: why do you want to collect Ferrari classic cars?"

"I don't understand, just like some people like to buy diamonds, buy houses, buy carpets, we like to buy cars. Isn't it romantic to be able to drive a car, and traveling in your beloved car is like taking your lover with you?"

Seeing that everyone laughed, he continued: "Some people ask me which one I like the most? Don't look at the fact that I have more than 100 cars, I really don't know which one is the best!"

"Technology is advancing every day, faster and faster every year, and it is not a matter of speed, but a classic that can represent that era. For example, 40 years ago, my parents were happy to ride a bicycle, and now we are happy to drive a Ferrari, it's just a life. ”

"Pretending to be forced, every time you pretend to be forced!" Lao Shan said dissatisfiedly next to him: "We can't compare with you, I think of begging grandpa to sue grandma all over the world to accept the classic car, that's just ......"

"Many good cars may not appear in the trading market, and are often collected by low-key rich people, who may be old and can't drive anymore, and finally sell them to help them find a good home. ”

"Money is not an issue, I like to see if you really love Ferrari and not buy it for business. Facing this kind of die-hard fan negotiation is a headache than going to school and taking exams!"

"You still don't understand, the manual row car is the most representative of the Ferrari classics, but unfortunately since the 355 Berlinetta, it has not been seen again!"

"You old bachelor don't understand, the 4-seater Mondial Cabriolet is the most handsome, sunny with the whole family on a trip, leading the wife and children, driving a lover, that's called enjoyment......"

As SC Johnson watched everyone arguing, it suddenly dawned on him: roaring engines, roaring tires, handsome celebrity drivers and hot models are just one side of the media hype about luxury brands.

People who are really obsessed with collecting suddenly understand that the other side of luxury brands is still the most real life. Many businessmen who have successful careers but remain romantic, hand-lined parties that adhere to tradition, good fathers who love sports cars and families, and struggling young people who do not forget their childhood dreams......

The reason why the classics can last forever is because this group of people insist on what they love and work hard for it without fear of time, which is the soul of supercars!

Wang Kuan was the youngest in this group of people, and when he saw all kinds of pretenses from his predecessors, he couldn't help but whisper: "It's all standing and talking without backache, think about Paul Bailey, who can be blacklisted by Ferrari, that's called bullshit!"

Johnson was stunned, there are still such people?

"British Telecom boss, there are more than 60 supercars, it stands to reason that this kind of local tyrant is definitely deeply affected by all luxury car brands, right?"

But because this bigwig provided the SCD club to test the three god cars, he actually completed the world's first speed measurement video of the three god cars without the presence of any staff from Ferrari, Porsche, and McLaren, which violated Ferrari's moldy head and directly announced that he would strictly prohibit the sale of any new car for life. ”

Not only him, but also Preston, the old man who not only had a world-famous Ferrari collection in Florida, but also became popular because of his lawsuit with Ferrari. ”

"In 2016, I sent a check for $10 million to the owner of Ferrari as a deposit, but in the end, the check was returned. Not only did the cheque come back, but it was also announced that the old man was not eligible to buy a Ferrari. ”

"The official statement is: many of the cars owned by the other party are auctioned and second-hand purchased, which is likely to be an investment behavior, and the thinking of wanting to make a profit again, in the end, he couldn't buy a convertible version of the Rafa ...... until he died."

After speaking, he stared at Johnson, and said viciously: "Understood, right? Getting Rafa is a fate that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and you should cherish it!"

Johnson is speechless, good guy, was physically threatened when he participated in the car club?

Wang Kuan saw that others were talking loudly, his face was full of unhappiness, as the host, he couldn't even insert a sentence?

"These people are all lip syncs, do you know who I admire the most?"

"Phil Bachman, a GM dealership, has 37 Ferraris parked in his backyard, an average of one a year!"

"The most awesome thing is not the quantity, his collection has two major characteristics: the first must be the last car in the series, the second must be the yellow body, the former is a hard condition, Phil only buys the last car from the factory in each series, if the number is not the largest, even if he gives it away for nothing. ”

"I had the pleasure of visiting the big guy's garage once...... It's just ...... As far as the eye can see, the warehouse shelves are full of all kinds of parts, soaking in the garage all day to study technology, in order to get the best maintenance of the car, and even take a plane to the factory in person, just to bring back a part. ”

"The last Rafa showed up in Lexington, Kentucky, where the headquarters hosted a grand ceremony dedicated to it. Yellow body + last car + flagship sports car, do you think Phil is the most awesome?"

SC Johnson gave a thumbs up and was convinced, he deserved to have the last yellow Rafah!

suddenly remembered a sentence in the TV series: Can you really do whatever you want if you have money?

Don't say it, not necessarily!
