Chapter 132: The Heartbeat of a Foreign Country (Ten Changes, Ask for Subscription!)
Xu Yali took Yang Ming to visit the main attractions of Los Angeles, the most famous is Hollywood, the Avenue of Stars, near the Grand Theater to see the Western scenery, to see if there is a dazzling Yanma.
There are only a few imaginary Hollywood beauties, and in a bustling area with a bustling flow of people, Yang Ming's most intuitive feeling is that there are so many fat people in the United States! Regardless of men, women, and children, their bodies are cylindrical, and they feel tired when they walk.
There are also tall girls, but they may still be in the Chinese mode aesthetically, and they feel that those with high nose bridges and white skin can see fluff on their white skin, which is a bit of a fly in the ointment.
Xu Yali seemed to understand this curiosity, and touched him with her arm: "There are not many beautiful women here, and they are mainly foreign tourists, and if you want to see the beautiful scenery, you have to go to New York or San Francisco." ”
"Pure curiosity. Yang Ming said.
"I know, the female tourists are also constantly discussed. Xu Yali smiled.
"What did you ask?" Yang Ming was curious.
"It's a bit rude. ”
"I don't pay attention to that. "Yang Ming doesn't care.
"They asked me if the white people's size was as exaggerated as it was in the video...... It's like you men, you always think that foreign girls are all 36D going up. ”
"Poof!" Yang Ming couldn't help laughing, but he still wanted to know, "What about the truth?"
"According to my male colleagues, white people are the same size, similar to Asian, black people are very talented, but the actors on the video are carefully selected. ”
"Understood. Yang Ming nodded.
"Have you rekindled your sense of self-confidence?" Xu Yali gradually became dirty.
"Yes. Yang Ming smiled.
Xu Yali said: "Although you are wearing clothes, I can see that you are in good shape, and your bodybuilding and muscles are the most popular among women in the United States!
"I hope so. Yang Ming smiled even more happily, although they haven't been together for a long time, but they understand why she is popular, she can talk to anyone, and she is funny.
While chatting and strolling, Yang Ming always has a sense of déjà vu in certain areas - GTA5, he doesn't play much games, but this masterpiece is played as a teenager, and now in Los Angeles, it really looks like déjà vu everywhere.
After walking around for two hours, only Xu Yali took him to eat Chinese food, and specially added: "After so many years here, I am still a Chinese stomach, and I am too unaccustomed to Western food." ”
"I think it's delicious, too. Yang Ming said.
"I thought so before I came, and I regretted it after a week. "She's sure.
"Well, I thought about trying the Michelin-starred restaurant here, and it seems that the expectations are too high. Yang Ming said.
Xu Yali paused and lost to the rich man: "The previous words are invalid, high-end Michelin and five-star restaurants are not areas that I can touch." ”
"I've read online reviews before, and it's thousands of dollars for a meal. Yang Ming didn't think so.
"Brother, you make me think it's still necessary to struggle again!" Xu Yali was serious.
"Haha! I've gone back to dinner, you lead the way, I'll invite you to finish eating this delicious and famous. Yang Ming said, "The right is a reward for work." ”
"Thank you!" she just has American-style self-confidence and doesn't shirk.
"I'm full. Yang Ming ate a big bowl of noodles, the content is Chinese, but the amount is still American, and the bowl is very full.
"Then let's go next!"
Xu Yali then drove him to Beverly Hills, the most beautiful and famous area of Los Angeles, known as the world's most exclusive community, but all the famous brands will gather here.
There are many international brands, and the road is lined with various big brand stores, and the road separated by palm trees is often lined with all kinds of sports cars, and there is no shortage of cutting-edge brands such as cattle and horses.
Xu Yali wants to take him to the car market is also nearby, a second-hand dealer, introduced: "There are many more second-hand cars sold in the United States than new cars, and they are more standardized, and laymen can buy good goods." ”
Yang Ming went shopping, looked at the high-end and low-end, and found that at the low-end level, the price is not much different from that in China, but in the high-end field, the gap is big.
For example, the second Ferrari is 458, 160,000 US dollars for sale, equivalent to more than one million yuan, because the maintenance and oil products are very good.
Looking at other brands, the second-hand price is generally only half of that in China. If it's a new car, it's about 35% of the domestic price, and the United States is a great place to play with cars, which is true.
Yang Ming looked at a Ferrari California that sold for $100,000, which was still used in 2013, and Xu Yali said, "Do you feel like buying cabbage?"
"Yes, I feel that my money has increased!" Yang Ming really felt.
Xu Yali said: "Many Chinese compatriots come here with this mentality, if you have a little money, you can drive a luxury car, and sell it after you have had enough, it is still very cost-effective——"
Before she finished speaking, she saw that Yang Ming was directly attracted by something, and she didn't look back!
Xu Yali curiously quickened her pace to keep up, and saw Yang Ming stop in front of a classic red horse, as a woman, she didn't know much about cars, but she knew how extraordinary it was just by looking at its appearance.
"I can actually see it!" Yang Ming's surprise was much more than hers.
Nothing else, the red Ferrari in front of him, named Enzo, a generation of flagships named after Ferrari's founder, is limited to 399 units, and an additional one is produced for the Vatican Pope.
Launched in 2002, the car is still powerful today, with a 6.0 self-aspirated V12 engine that produces 660 horsepower, accelerates from zero to 100 in 3.6 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 350kph.
Acceleration may not be strong in the early stages, but the Ferrari has always been ferocious in the middle and back sections, running a quarter mile (400m) in just 11 seconds, a feat that was achieved in 2002!
At the time, it was sold for $600,000, and it was an invite-only purchase, and now the price naturally follows Ferrari's crazy value retention rate - some time ago, there was an accident car that was cut off by the waist, and after repair, it can sell for $1.75 million.
There was no price tag for this intact and undamaged car that had only run 1,200 miles, but Yang Ming took the initiative to ask. The salesperson saw that this was a Chinese, casual Patek Philippe watch, interpreting the strength.
The purchasing power of Chinese Americans in California is also well-known, and the other party replied enthusiastically: "This out-of-print model, the owner is eager to cash out and did not send it to auction, and the asking price is 2.8 million US dollars." ”
Yang Ming automatically calculated according to the exchange rate, which is equivalent to 19 million yuan, which is about the same price as the Porsche 918 he bought in China, but the current second-hand price of 918 abroad is mostly millions of US dollars.
The most important thing is Enzo, and there are only four or five cars in China, all of which are sealed and preserved! There is no market for them! Because the owners don't want to sell them at all!
Now that I see it in the United States, I originally only planned to go shopping for the purpose of joining in the fun, there are a lot of good cars but I have no desire to buy, until now I am suddenly excited!
The heart of a person is pounding in a foreign country, and Enzo is really poison for fans!
