Chapter 1280: An uproar caused by a car
Sports cars are not unusual, and the hard top is a little less ornamental, at least not as stylish as the convertible looks.
But antique sports cars, it's different.
Over the past year or so, Shi Lei has gained a great understanding of these, and it can be seen almost at a glance that this sports car still maintains the style of the twentieth and thirties of the twentieth century, with a strange streamlined body in gray and green, which has already attracted the attention of many people.
Although Shi Lei has a lot of knowledge about this kind of thing, he is not a senior car fan, and he can't recognize what brand this car is from the side.
Speaking of which, Shi Lei doesn't have any special fetishes about things like cars, but when he sees such a car, he still inevitably wants to take a good look.
The front of the car had a front-mounted engine, like all cars made in the twenties and thirties. The engine of that era occupied almost two-thirds of the body, excluding its streamlined shape, there was actually no essential difference from the front of the truck of that era.
Behind it is a carriage that looks a bit like Ultraman's head, especially in the middle there is a bulge like a shark's dorsal fin, which makes Shi Lei intuitively think of the thing on Ultraman's head.
Looking from behind, he didn't see anything, and when he walked to the front, Shi Lei found that it was actually a Bugatti.
Rao has no special fetish for cars, and he can't help but fall in love with this car.
The key is that it is really popular, such a car is driving on the road, and the return rate is absolutely 100%, and Shi Lei can guarantee that no matter men, women and children, they will choose to stop and watch because of the passing of this car.
Sitting in the car was none other than Roshan himself.
He grinned, got out of the car, and burst out of his mouth a few words in English.
From these words, Shi Lei opened his mobile phone and checked the Internet, only to know that this car is a Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, produced in 1936, a total of three were produced, and now there are only two left in the world.
One of them was sold for $30 million at the Mullin Automotive Museum in California, USA, and is now in the collection of the Mullin Automobile Museum in California.
This is already the highest auction in the history of car auctions, and the highest price before it was only 15 million US dollars, only half the price of this Bugatti.
The other one, which was sold a little earlier than this one, was so mysterious that the buyer did not disclose any private information at all, and because it was not a public auction, there was no way to investigate it.
What's even more surprising is that the transaction price of which one is said to be even higher than this one, between $3,000 and $40 million, and no one knows the exact amount.
Now, Shi Lei has a Bugatti in front of him, there is no doubt that this cannot be the one that is collected in California, then, it belongs to the mysterious collector.
Even if Shi Lei had just searched for information from the Internet, it was enough for Shi Lei to be shocked.
This car, more than 200 million soft sister coins?
In the envious eyes of more and more onlookers, Shi Lei sat in the co-pilot.
Originally, that Roshan wanted him to drive it himself and feel the car, but it was inconvenient to communicate, and secondly, Shi Lei found that this car was different from the car he had driven, and he was really worried that he accidentally bumped into the car or something, and it was estimated that he would have to pay millions of dollars in compensation if he came casually, which always made people feel a little painful.
The car drove towards the suburbs of northern Paris, and along the way, as Shi Lei expected, the cars on the road were eager to stop and look at the car, and Shi Lei was finally able to understand what it was like for a superstar to walk on the road.
In this regard, Shi Lei couldn't help but shake his head slightly, this is a neurosis, this kind of car, shouldn't it be put on the booth for everyone to admire?
Shi Lei didn't know that this fat man had been buying this car for seven years, and although it had been placed in the northern suburbs of Paris, it had indeed only been placed in a warehouse built specifically for this car over the years. It's only once in a while that the fat man drives it out, walks around his winery, and actually hits the road, and that's the first time.
After the fat man returned to the winery, he thought that Shi Lei had saved his life, and this was due to the fact that he almost caused Shi Lei to lose his life, which made the fat man even more grateful to the point that he wanted to worship Shi Lei directly.
He felt that he had to invite Shi Lei with the most solemn etiquette, although he had a lot of energy, but in such a short time, it was too late to make any too grand arrangements.
So, he hit the idea on the car.
Using a car worth $30 million to greet Shi Lei should be grand enough, right? I believe that all the people along the way will use their eyes and expressions to make a footnote for him to greet Shi Lei.
I have to say, this guy did it.
At first, he left the hotel with just a car alone.
But later, while driving, some guys who were fascinated by the car actually gave up their original itinerary and followed the car to the northern suburbs, just to take a few more photos or videos, and to be able to see the car a few more times.
When Shi Lei and the fat man arrived at the red winery, there was already a convoy of thirty or forty cars hanging behind them.
Fortunately, the Fat Man's winery was large enough, and it was guarded by security guards outside, and they dutifully stopped the cars that came with them outside the winery.
However, it has spread on the Internet, and there are sharp-eyed people, and even recognize Shi Lei from the photos and videos taken by those people.
As a result, a theory began to circulate on the Internet, that is, the car has changed its new owner, and its new owner is Shi Lei, a newly rising rich man in China, the founder of Qixuan Bicycle - Shi Lei.
This news quickly spread to China, and those who regard Shi Lei as the national husband have gone viral, which has led to hundreds of thousands more downloads of Qixuan Bicycle APP in a very short period of time.
In the UK, because many people believe that Shi Lei bought this car, the number of APP downloads of Qixuan UK has also increased by more than 100,000.
Even the news that the media broke out not long ago that Qixuan Britain was about to expand to the two markets of France and Germany was also turned out and re-reviewed, and many media said that this was an alternative propaganda by the founder of Qixuan to Qixuan Britain.
However, although the French and German markets in the UK have not yet opened, they have already had more than 50,000 downloads in these two countries.
You know, this is an English APP, and there is no French and German version, but it can be downloaded so much.
Shi Lei didn't know about this, he just stepped down from the car that caused an uproar, and a beautiful woman immediately greeted him and acted as an interpreter between Shi Lei and the fat man.
Only then did Shi Lei know that the fat man's name was André Mengguta, and he was not French, but Haitian, but he belonged to one of the 10 percent of Haiti's French-speaking population.
Shi Lei was still strange before, a rich second generation in France, he didn't have anything to do to go to see the Eiffel Tower, shouldn't that be what he was used to seeing since he was a child?
Since he is not French, it can be explained. It's just that if you can afford to buy a car for 30 million US dollars, you can't even have a bodyguard by yourself to climb the tower, which is a bit big.
Andrei, the fat man, took out a bottle of red wine and said, "Mouton, 1945." ”
1945 was one of the best vintages in the history of Château Mouton.
