Chapter 379: Collector Maniac

The tour of the manor is over, but it is too large to take a cursory walk around in a day.

Back at the vineyard, dinner begins to be prepared. An Feng took the time to bathe the tiger, in the past two days, the bear child and his parents went on a self-driving trip, south to Los Angeles and San Diego, there are many items to play, and he will not come back for a while, and Xiaobai has a rare opportunity not to be disturbed by small insects=.

An Feng pulled up his sleeves high, smeared Xiaobai's whole body with soap bubbles, and tickled it seriously, Xiaobai squinted his eyes to enjoy this, and then connected the faucet, ready to flush it again. Joanna walked out, holding An Feng's mobile phone in her hand: "Honey, there is a call from China." ”

Joanna put the phone to his ear, and An Feng poured water at Xiaobai, while saying, "Hey? ”

"Are you free now?" Xiang Yang's voice came.

"You're bathing the tiger, what's the matter?" An Feng flushed the bubbles off his hands, and Brandon asked a maid to fetch a towel.

Wu Qian is learning from the side, and Brandon's details are reflected in every detail.

"Bathing a tiger? It's the only thing that can happen to you. Xiang Yang said with a smile.

An Feng took the maid's towel to wipe her hands, returned it to her, and then took the mobile phone in Joanna's hand, she took An Feng's water pipe and played with Xiaobai. An Feng stayed away from them, walked to the side and talked on the phone: "Is it a matter of the store, is it done?" ”

Since Nokia's global sales have been hot, there is no problem in entering China, as an internal channel students, Anfeng can naturally seize the opportunity, before the official establishment of the direct store, they began to look for stores in major cities, seize the time to decorate according to the theme.

"It's almost done, when do you think you'll be free to come back and sign a contract?" Xiang Yang asked.

An Feng thought for a while: "It's probably the end of August, I'll stop by, if you lack funds." I can send the money first. ”

Xiang Yang said: "It's not a matter of money, I'm afraid that your nobles will forget things and don't remember this stubble, we have finished decorating, and we are still stunned that we haven't figured out the share!" ”

An Feng smiled: "No matter how forgetful I am, I can't forget my old classmates." Rest assured. I'm sure I'll be there at the end of August, and my niece has to go back to China. There is also Wang Le's kid, I don't know where it is, when I find him, let's go over together and sign it as soon as possible. ”

It is very necessary for An Feng to go back, drop off the bear child's family on the way, and then go to the inauguration ceremony of the new school. In addition, he had to take advantage of the opening day to make a trip to England, and the Liverpool owner had not been seen for nearly a year. To be able to be so irresponsible. I'm afraid that this is the only one left.

Last season, Liverpool won the third place in points, and there is still a little gap between Anfeng and the instant championship that Anfeng hopes for, no one can beat, but compared to the poor form of previous years, it is already a new look. Liverpool spent another £70 million on players this year, and they have been very arrogant since the change of owners.

Anyway, God knows whether the investment can be recovered, and once you enter the Premier League, it is as deep as the sea.

After talking to Xiang Yang for about ten minutes, An Feng smiled and said, "Okay." It is estimated that your phone is about to be in arrears, so let's talk about it when we go back. ”

After hanging up the phone. An Feng rarely considered the matter of BOGE.

Recently, they have been considering a stake in Nokia - in this case, Nokia in Finland. BOGE intends to take a stake in Nokia, and if not, they will have to extend the licensing of the brand with Nokia, because there is not much time left to transfer from Microsoft.

According to Anfeng's original intention of engaging in mobile phone names and cheating money, it is now a bit "outdated", because Nokia is really popular. Of course, the nostalgia of the brand and Microsoft's patent green light helped a lot. But for now, it could do better.

An Feng considered the idea of major shareholders to cash out, which is feasible, but there is not enough time, and the outside world is very concerned about the time of BOGE's brand authorization. At this juncture, it is possible to cash out hundreds of thousands of shares, but no matter how small the actions of the 30% major shareholders are, they will be magnified, and investors are not fools.

BOGE will have to extend the time for now, or simply buy Nokia, take full control, and allow it to operate independently in order to accommodate the mood of the community. Just like the Fiat Group owns Ferrari, Ferrari operates independently and Fiat does not impose interference.

Whether it is an extension or a holding, as long as the time is done, fame and money will be saved, Joanna will be listed as an outstanding young person because of her great contributions, and she will also be able to arbitrage more cash because of the growth of the company's value...... Until the company's high-tech advantage disappeared.

Nokia's technological advantage will disappear because GP Electronics and BOGE have a conflict - if only Nokia technology is given, BOGE's value will be high, but it will reduce the sales of microchips and graphene screens; Expanding the sales of these two would affect the value of BOGE.

It's hard to find a balance here.

And An Feng is still a little negative, he thinks that sooner or later the mobile phone will be replaced, and after the third or fourth generation of popularity, it will go into decline - and then promote the holographic and light-sensing touch technology that GP will achieve in the future, which is also the reason why communication was not developed in the first place. But now it's messed up.

Not only is An Feng's vision limited, but even the senior management of GP companies is also blind, they think that the battery industry and chips are absolutely dominant, monopolistic, and the relative mobile phone industry is not optimistic.

This was also dug up by the media with a keen sense of smell, called a major mistake by the GP company, but no one considered that the GP company was busy expanding and borrowing more than a billion yuan, so how could there be spare funds to engage in weak projects? If the company started from scratch, there would be no spare money at that time, and it was not in line with An Feng's desire to pursue fame and fortune and cheat money.

Fortunately, it didn't matter to the Texas consortium, whether it was GP or BOGE, they controlled it.

……

The next day, An Feng answered a phone call, and RM's Brian called again, and this year's Monterrey auction was very lively, with many highlights, Ferrari's 250 series taking the stage again, and the GTR version of McLaren F1, that is, the racing version, to participate in the auction. Two heavyweights are in the spotlight.

An Feng will definitely participate in the auction, and he will also pull some of his own collections out this year, this time choosing Lamborghini, but the collection is not too much, the valuable ones are Reventon and the Sixth Element, and then the Countach-5000-Qv will also be sent to the exhibition, and the theme is naturally classic.

This black Countach is a model year '87. Anfeng paid only $250,000 to buy, and Lamborghini style can already be seen in it - scissor doors, wedge-shaped bodywork and a huge engine compartment at the rear. The classic image lasted for more than thirty years and has been influencing it to the present.

It's just that the model doesn't hold its value very well, a few decades ago it was more than 100,000 dollars, according to the inflation rate. $250,000 doesn't make much. Collector's cars still have to be legendary models, especially Ferrari's value, which has been rising in value, and the brand has a unique charm.

When it was time to participate in the exhibition, the two cars were loaded and sent away, and An Feng personally drove one of them.

In keeping with the theme of the exhibition, he opted for a convertible, with the Lamborghini Reventon being targeted, which is a rarity. The two models of closed top and convertible add up to more than 40 units, and there are very few people in the world who can own them, which is the value of Lamborghini models.

It's not too old, 2008 model, GPS navigation, hi-fi are available, and it's still very futuristic, with a full LCD display on the central control dashboard. The display interface transplants the fighter jet when the engine roar behind it is heard. It's a lot of desire to drive, but you have to be careful when driving it.

The car was crashed, but it was really over, and there was no repair. Although the carbon fiber car volume is hard, but after exceeding the limit, it will break the whole in order to protect the safety of the driver, and this rare sports car in the world has to be reduced by one. And other collectors are sure to open champagne to celebrate.

Before leaving, An Feng changed into a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, which gave people a serious feeling to fit this car, of course, the main thing was that Joanna felt that it matched her dress today...... In the end, the truth is the truth. The car is still parked in the garage with the butt outward. The tail is equipped with a California license plate.

It is worth mentioning that the DMV (Vehicle Management Bureau) in the United States is very user-friendly, it can apply for not having a front license plate, for some special cars, but there are also non-special applications for not hanging a front license plate - such as Tesla's model-s model. It's easy to apply for something like Anfeng.

Due to the shape of the front face, there is no suitable place for the listing in front of it, and the carbon fiber body, you have to drill a few holes in it, it is too violent, and in the end it is only the rear license plate, legal on the road. Anfeng conventionally chooses the convertible mode, and the submarine gray makes the sports car full of futuristic feeling.

But in addition to the handsome appearance, the ride is actually not comfortable, the non-adjustable racing seats are hard, if you accelerate and then play traversal overtaking or something, the co-pilot's wife in the mirror will not let you sleep on the sofa tonight, that is true love. So Anfeng chooses the most comfortable mode to open.

……

When you arrive in Monterey, Pebble Beach is bustling with people around Pebble Beach.

The event has been going on for several days, and until today it was the theme of the auto show, with classic cars and modern cars stealing the limelight. It's like the sports car driven by An Feng, from approaching to slowly moving with other sports cars, all the way is focused by the camera lens.

Naturally, they go into battle with big sunglasses, and the rest can be taken casually.

The appearance of a rare artifact has also managed to steal the limelight from other big names, such as the equally rare Aston next to it. No one watched the Martin one-77, and not many people paid attention to the Bugatti Supersport that followed behind, and everyone first focused on the rarest and most handsome.

Even if it doesn't perform well, the form is everything...... This world of faces.

According to the street signs, An Feng drove the car from the main road to the lawn, and under the reminder of the staff and the shooting of the camera lens, he showed the quality of his racing driver, did not hesitate in one breath, and parked the car in the exhibition area very accurately, next to his other two Lamborghini.

Push up Lamborghini's coolest scissor door and get out of the car, and then help his lady who is dressed up today like a cocktail ball.

Next, the crowd of onlookers increased significantly.

After An Feng met the request of the videographer who knew him for a group photo, he left with Joanna.

There was a seat in a nearby theme restaurant and bar, and a few friends from Duke and Howard were also there, and everyone sat together to talk about the car show and auction. Later, Cooper was there and heard from Duke that he was going to help Duke win a medal in the Classic Car Championship.

An Feng asked, "What model?" ”

"Ferrari 53 375-MM-Spider," Duke said. ”

"Awesome." An Feng said, "Are you interested in changing hands?" ”

"Hey, stop!" Duke laughed and said, "It's my favorite collection, and I know you're a collector, but don't pay attention to it." ”

"It's not the first time I've heard that." An Feng said that many collectors say that the collection is the most precious, and it is not the end of the auction that is not sent to auction.

"It's different, it's a champion car after the race, and it's worth a lot." Duke said.

An Feng understood, the little abacus is here!

An Feng has been spending a lot of money lately, and just as Joanna likes to collect all kinds of handbags, wallets and high heels, he also likes to collect sports cars. After chatting with them about some events, and then turning to Cooper, Anfeng was more concerned about the future arrangements because he was a shareholder of the GP team.

Cooper has recently signed a three-year contract with the GP team to start racing.

Cooper said something insider: "At present, Maserati and GP are discussing with the FIA to prepare to launch a new E-GT global event, which is similar to the MC Challenge, with high horsepower and high speed, but there are many requirements for large manufacturers, and the models are provided by a fixed number of manufacturers, pursuing greater fairness." ”

"To learn from the strengths of NASCAR, the models and technologies are provided by several manufacturers, to reduce the cost of research and development, so that the winning and losing factors of the race are more focused on the drivers," Duke proposed. As you know, NASCAR is far less invested than F1, but the income of the top drivers is not much different, because the team's R&D expenses are not much, and the profit is much higher than that of F1, so more can be distributed to the drivers and make the event sustainable for a long time. ”

"That's something to consider." An Feng knows that it is cool for big manufacturers to burn money to win the championship, but it will extinguish the enthusiasm of small teams and become a stage for merchants to burn money.

Duke continued: "But electric racing requires a high level of technology, and you have to control the balance here. ”

Since the MC Challenge brought Maserati and electric racing to fame, the FIA is ready for electric racing, and Maserati, Ferrari and Audi are now working together on the E-GT, which will offer models and important electric motor technology, and the race may also be divided into classes.

In order to cope with different races, Maserati's headquarters is developing a flagship model, and the legendary LaMaserati may appear, but according to internal sources, after separating from Fiat, it is unlikely that Maserati will use Ferrari's flagship chassis again, and it should be a new model.
