The 133rd trip to the water city

(232 votes...... Damn, I hate them to hide their strength! )

……

The next morning, after paying the $50,000 deposit, Joanna accompanied him into the main auction venue. Due to the large number of models in the joint auction, not only cars, but also the engines of some racing cars, the estimated price is actually more expensive than sports cars, Joanna could not understand the madness of the fans.

After taking a seat, there were many people at the scene, but they were all talking in low voices. On the stage is a huge projection screen that opens onto the road outside, and when the auction begins, there will be a sports car coming in from the outside – bidders will never want to see a car hit the gas pedal and drive in.

In front of it is the auction of some classic cars, the prices are high and low, and An Feng is not very interested, unless it is a legendary model. He wants to buy the kind of sports car that can not only collect, but also drive out for a ride, show off, and let fans high = trendy. Buy it back and don't open it? An Feng hadn't had a fever to that extent.

Waiting in the chat, I was happy to play the record of the mobile game with Joanna...... The boredom was finally over, and a fiery red ENZO was pushed in by the staff, and the surrounding bidders raised their heads one after another, their eyes focused on it, and it seemed that the purpose was quite unified.

Listen to the auctioneer's gushing compliments and introductions. The car is in good condition, and has only traveled more than 1,000 kilometers so far, which is equivalent to not driving for a sports car. Well maintained, no accidents have occurred, even the instructions and spare keys that come with the car are built.

This shows that the car is of high value.

The estimated transaction price is about 1.05-1.3 million euros, everyone slowly increases the price, An Feng stays wait-and-see, no one can grab him anyway. When the auction price was stable at 1.2 million euros, he began to increase the price, and he did not hesitate. Not at all afraid of any opponent's strength.

Several bidders saw An Feng's crisp profit and abdicated to a local tyrant from a mysterious country, and finally sold for the expected value of 1.3 million euros, about 1.76 million US dollars.

Less than 2 million, for him who now receives more than 2 billion salaries a year, it is not a problem. It's not even enough money for a helicopter for yourself.

This was followed by the auction of the Ferrari 599 GTO, which he is still waiting to see, with an estimate of 50-800,000 euros, which is also not expensive for Anfeng. He doesn't care about rational investment, just like car fans will buy what they like when they see it. No one else can play him.

In the end, he was photographed for 800,000 euros, about 108 US dollars.

Then the F50 was pushed up, and everyone unconsciously looked at the confident An Feng, and had a bad premonition.

In the beginning. An Feng calmly watched them increase the price, and the collectors also looked at him cautiously to see if this person would make a move.

From 800,000 euros to 900,000 euros, An Feng didn't make any moves, just when they thought there would be no more accidents, An Feng raised his card.

"910,000 euros! Mr. 155 bids 910,000 euros! ”

When he began to raise his cards and increase the price arrogantly, the eyes of other collectors were helpless. Why do you want to appear a local tyrant!

Who let him in!

Fans are about to cry, today the three heavyweights of the Ferrari legend have been snatched up by him!

In the end, Anfeng finished the car for 950,000 euros. Then I was invited to the VIP reception room to deal with the payment, and I met one of RM's supervisors by the way.

His name is Brian, an American, who often travels between Europe and the United States to preside over the auction of various luxury cars, which is very worthy of friendship for bidders like An Feng, who are not bad for money. And the bidders also like them, because they will know in advance what information is available, the heavyweight bids.

Brian said, "Mr. Ann, are you planning to ship all three of the collections back to the United States?" ”

An Feng nodded: "Of course." I live in the United States. ”

Brian asked, "Are you going to ship it by sea or by air?" We can provide you with a comprehensive service from start to finish, and the fees charged are very reasonable. ”

An Feng was most afraid of trouble, and when he said this, he immediately agreed: "Hurry up by air." With you on your behalf, it saves me a lot of trouble! ”

Brian smiled: "It's okay sir, that's the essence of how we serve our customers. ”

They exchanged business cards, and Brian said that the next Pebble Beach Auto Show in California will bring more surprising collections, which will whet An Feng's appetite.

The tax on vehicle sales between Europe and the United States is not high, and what about Europe, it is similar to return to the United States, which can be seen from the vehicle market. If it is domestic, Anfeng bought ENZO for $1.76 million, and it will cost at least three times as much to get it on domestic roads.

After completing all the formalities, An Feng gave the time to Joanna: "My toys are finished, and the next thing is the time to buy toys for you." ”

……

They left Rome and flew to Venice, the famous water city.

Taking a plane is not a good choice, Italy does not have such a developed aviation system as the United States, the local airlines are in average condition, the plane is old, and I like to be late, if you are not in a hurry, it is the most comfortable and convenient to take a high-speed train. Italy has a well-developed high-speed rail system.

Less than an hour of flight, but it took more than an hour to waste on various forms, after walking out of the airport, the car that came to pick up and drop off had not yet arrived.

"It's too late again." An Feng sighed, leaned against the pillar and touched Joanna's hair, and only the girl could make him have the patience to consume it.

Joanna poked him with her finger: "You must be tolerant and patient enough to treat Italians. ”

An Feng nodded: "I know, Italians are notoriously lazy, it's common for appointments to be ten minutes late, Spain is also comparable, I heard that the Latin people have to lie down with guns, what thieves, liars and hooligans are almost synonymous with them - sorry for going too far, you don't have friends from these countries, right?" ”

"No, they see it as a 'free attitude to life' and they don't let their work dictate them, they let themselves control their lives," she laughs. ”

"I've heard that Italians go to work like this: get up at eight or nine o'clock, take a slow time on the way to work, go to the café for a cup of coffee first, and occasionally meet friends, just chat, talk about life and ideals. Then when it was almost eleven o'clock, I went to work slowly, and I thought about getting off work before four o'clock. Forget it, they also took part in demonstrations and strongly demanded that the government force companies to raise wages. ”

Joanna smiled: "You admire this kind of life, right?" ”

An Feng nodded: "Of course - I mean, it would be nice if I was the only one like this." If everyone was like that, I'd be crazy. ”

The driver, who was ten minutes late, finally drove the car slowly, and the explanation was very ordinary: traffic jam. As a result, on the way to Venice, although there was a lot of traffic on the road, the speed was at least about 50 kilometers...... An Feng finally knew that he had met his opponent.

Putting aside these historical genetic factors, other aspects are still good. Venice, as early as when Anfeng was in elementary school, had a text on "Venice on the Water", with black and white illustrations. The impression of Venice is that of a magical city submerged in the sea and rowing between buildings.

After crossing the bridge, the car stopped after driving some distance, and you can already see the waterways running between the houses and the wooden bridges, and occasionally a ferry boat passes under the bridge, and tourists sit on the boats, admiring the surrounding scenery, while An Feng and Joanna sit in the ...... Yacht.

An Feng didn't want to take a yacht. But this is the hotel shuttle boat is not an option.

All the way through the "streets and alleys" to the San Marco district. The district is a prosperous and prosperous area, and it is the ones who stay in it that are the most distinctive. The most extravagant palace hotel. It is said that once the residence of a lady, right on the Grand Canal, the hotel room is very small and can only be booked in advance, but it is well worth it.

There is a spacious room full of antique furniture. Shiny plated cutlery, delicate crystal wine glasses, soft handmade carpets. Everywhere is pure classical style, which makes guests feel more noble. Put down your luggage and sit down on a European-style sofa. With his legs crossed, he waited for the maid to pour the wine......

In the afternoon, when the sun was not so fierce, the two of them sipped wine and snacks in the open-air restaurant outside the hotel, looked at the passing ferry boat in a daze, and talked about life like the tourists around them. When night falls, it's a beautiful sight of the lights floating on the water.

Joanna planned to stay for two days, and the next day they were still able to soak up the beauty of the water city, and Anfeng hired a ferry, Gondola. This kind of black coffin, which is pitch black and swims quietly on the water, is definitely a local feature.

An Feng chose a small boat for the two couples, hugged each other on the fiery red seats, and the boatman slowly supported the boat and wandered in the long water alley.

The gondola is one of the most unmissable romantic getaways in Venice.

An Feng put her arms around Joanna, she rested her head on her shoulder, and the boat drifted aimlessly, crossing bridges full of stories, listening to the melancholy voices of boatmen and musicians, Italian folk songs, and looking at the magnificent or vicissitudes of architecture along the way.

The charm of this slow pace is indescribable, and you can work with your beloved, no matter how troublesome things are, you will leave behind them, and quietly enjoy the beautiful scenery together, without excessive flowery rhetoric, just hold hands and communicate with each other. Time was greatly slowed down, and the most lingering pulses looked at each other and kissed affectionately. With the blessing of the boatman and the musician in dry English, the whole journey was completed with laughter and warmth.

In terms of language, An Feng has to praise the Italians, although they don't speak much English, but at least they worked hard, and later went to France, giving a bad review to the French who think that French is the most beautiful language in the world. It's so bullish, before you want to communicate, he won't bird you if you don't talk to him in French.

But that's a later story, as they had a local specialty: risotto with tomato sauce, and of course there was also a seafood feast, sardines, clams and crabs, etc., which must be accompanied by a glass of white wine...... The romantic water city tour has been changed to three days.

After that, I hurried to Milan in the north, the fashion capital is famous, but unfortunately there is not much time, according to the itinerary, An Feng has to arrive in Zurich, Switzerland on time, and can only give up the plan to visit Milan, anyway, the shopping feast can be made up in France, and then go to Milan Central Railway Station after deciding.

As an important part of the European railway hub, Milan has the largest railway station in Europe, equipped with Eurostar high-speed trains, which can reach a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour, starting from Milan and climbing all the way up through the Alps to that quiet and peaceful country: Switzerland.
