Chapter 132: Ferrari Legends

(This is an additional update of 212 monthly passes...... It's late at night, it's all blood and tears)

……

After the contract was signed and the money arrived, An Feng and Joanna went home to prepare for a trip to Europe. It was a honeymoon trip, but the time was a bit rushed, and with about ten days left in September, Joanna had to continue her studies. So most of this trip is to see the flowers. Fortunately, she is familiar with the environment.

European integration has blurred the concept of the country, coupled with a strong high-speed rail system, it is very convenient to travel abroad, Joanna has traveled to many scenic spots, the details of the trip are in her mind, and her plan also takes care of business - An Feng wants to go to Switzerland, improve the information of the offshore company, and then find a full-time account assistant. In addition, he wanted to explore a shipyard in Finland, and he wanted to customize a super cruise ship.

An Feng defines his trip to Europe as a luxury trip, in addition to business, it is to play and spend to the fullest, participate in sports car auctions in Italy, customize a few famous watches for Joanna in Switzerland, or if you are lucky, you can also come across rare jewelry...... Anyway, it's not bad money now.

Flights and hotels have already been booked, and the credit goes back to Angela, and Amex's global travel service is impeccable, guaranteeing that top customers don't feel a little troublesome, with dedicated service throughout the journey, including airfares, high-end hotel bookings, and more.

An Feng and his family explained some things, that is, the money in the domestic account and the things of living in the local area, and the problem of money, the parents who are still playing in China said that it has arrived. And the local life is to let my sister and brother-in-law learn more from Old John, and in the future, they will have to manage the vineyard.

Furthermore. Guri found a few good private security companies, the scale is average, but the professional quality can be trained by him. An Feng is still relieved that Guli is there, and let him serve as the chief consultant to manage his strength for himself. Usually like a defense company, it is better to be able to take care of your own profits and losses, providing security services for hotels and night clubs, or providing bodyguards for celebrities and wealthy people. And use it for yourself when necessary.

But An Feng hopes never to come in handy - except for pretending to be momentary.

Things are arranged. The European tour begins. Flying to New York and then to Rome, the capital of Italy, a Mediterranean country, by air. The United States seemed to be quite close to Europe, but it took nine hours to cross the Atlantic, after which the plane slowly landed at Feu-Mishino Airport.

It's not too good to come to Italy in August. The weather was a bit hot. And the country is on holiday. That is, the "August Festival". The slow-moving, or rather lazy, Italians are leaving the city for their own vacations, and the city is a little less local.

Put away the stamped passport book. Follow the flow of people. In front of me happened to be a group of Chinese tourists, a guide wearing a red hat walked in front, and behind him were chattering tourists, holding cameras to shoot around. An Feng heard the mysterious reminder of the tour guide: "Pay attention to your bag, there are many thieves in the local area." ”

An Feng happened to hear the tour guide's words clearly, and the number of thieves became his first impression of Rome, turned his head to look at Joanna, and asked, "Really?" ”

Joanna nodded: "Keep important items where you can see them, and pay attention to crowded occasions, due to the economic downturn, thieves have been rampant recently." ”

"Okay." An Feng threw the shoulder bag in front of him and left the airport by the hand of Joanna. They had already booked a hotel before they came, and since they were guests of the top suite, the hotel sent a discontinued Maybach 57 to pick them up.

An Feng and Joanna both took it for granted, after all, it was a luxury trip.

The Maybach 57 drove slowly through the old streets. Rome, known as the "capital of the world", was the political and cultural center of Europe at that time. In August, the Italians went on vacation and gave up Rome to foreign tourists, but instead of empty cities, a flock of tourists took over Rome. The people who passed by spoke a variety of languages, as if they had returned to the prosperous era of ancient Rome.

They stayed in the local area for a short time, mainly to enjoy the Colosseum in ancient Rome, because there is no reservation ticket, some internal attractions can not be visited, but dispensable, An Feng is not too interested. After a meal of authentic Italian cuisine in the restaurant, we went in the afternoon to look for the Trevi Fountain, which was crowded with tourists who put their euro coins in the pool and made up their wishes.

An Feng also tossed coins with Joanna and made a wish like everyone else. An Feng glanced at the coins in the pool, it looked like there were a lot of them, and he had to throw a lot of money in a day. Joanna saw his eyes and said with a smile: "It is said that the money thrown in was taken away by the government in the end." ”

"Poof!" Anfeng squirts.

When leaving the Wishing Fountain, there were some people gathered nearby, speaking English, An Feng happened to hear some when he passed by, as if something was taken by a pickpocket or something, and looked back at the crowd around the Wishing Fountain, in this case, the crime was almost a catch, although there were police nearby.

But the Italian police ...... Hehe, although they drive a Lamborghini police car.

"It seems that what is said is true, European thieves are rampant." An Feng said.

Joanna was not surprised, sympathized with the stolen tourist, took his hand again, and continued to talk about other things about the tour. Of course, it is not a matter of time to hang high, not to mention that it is still very difficult to steal from the responsive An Feng.

Originally, I was going to see some religious buildings in the Roman Gothic style, or the "Vatican", a country within a city, but Joanna is a Protestant, and Rome is a strong Catholic environment, and the two were once bitter rivals, although now they are in harmony, but there is still no need to go.

And then there's the second thing: the famous car.

Italy is a world-famous sports car kingdom, with the famous "two emperors and one queen". The two emperors were Ferrari and Lamborghini, and the first was Maserati.

This time Anfeng is very lucky, just tomorrow there will be a large-scale "Ferrari Legend" auction, held by the famous auction house RM and Sotheby's in Rome, there will be a lot of heavyweight Ferrari sports cars, all of which are rare to see.

This happened when Anfeng had a lot of money...... He went to the pre-auction exhibition in the afternoon, and the luxury car took them to their destination. The exhibition was held in the open air, and this time there were other sports cars for auction in addition to the "Ferrari Legend", but there were not many heavyweights.

Pulled Joanna to enjoy this large area of red - the classic Ferrari red. There are many models on display, from the rare 375 antique sports car, the 400 convertible series, to the flagship F50 of the late 20th century, and the first flagship F60 of the new century, or as it should be called, ENZO.

When An Feng saw the fiery red ENZO, he couldn't move.

Joanna saw what he liked and asked, "Tell me about it?" ”

An Feng was intoxicated: "In addition to the exaggerated appearance, I'm afraid it should be a work of art." As we all know, the founder of Ferrari is called Enzo. Ferrari, and the name of the car is Ferrari-Enzo, just by these few words, you know the special meaning it is given. The model is very rare, 400 units worldwide, and an estimated 100 have been damaged for various reasons, and the others that have survived have become collectors' treasures. ”

"It's beautiful!" Joanna said that women usually don't know much about cars, just like Anfeng is almost an idiot about jewelry brands.

An Feng took a look at this speed machine, even though the ENZO has now been replaced by the new flagship LaFerrari, it still can't hide the light on it.

Whether it's the F50 or the F60, or the latest F70 (LaFerrari), there are many conditions that are required to order a new Ferrari flagship, starting with the F50, there are at least two Ferraris or more, accepting invitations, and checking that customers will not immediately change cars.

"That's it!" An Feng decided to participate in the exhibition.

I thought I would be lucky enough to meet ENZO, but I didn't expect to meet the 599GTO later, although the shape is similar to the ordinary 599, but its black roof shows its own difference, GTO in the Italian abbreviation means "road car that meets the standard of racing", which means that it is a car with a legal road identity, and the designer has tried to cram into the top road car of F1 technology.

"Cool!" An Feng smiled, although he couldn't touch it yet, but these two monsters had already been booked by himself.

Buying them, in addition to the pursuit of fans, is also very worthwhile from the investment point of view, in the case of ENZO, in 02, it was sold for about $750,000, more than ten years later, at the most recent European auction, it was sold for a high price of $1.7 million, and the appreciation potential is huge.

Buy it back and put it for ten years, and then auction it out, maybe it will become 2.5 million, don't doubt the appreciation potential of Ferrari sports cars, 250GTO auction 40 million is the best example. Of course, you have to be able to stay for decades, have a short mileage, and still be in good condition.

Walking further down, when I saw a convertible Ferrari F50, I stopped again to see the introduction, this car is a special edition of the 50th anniversary of the 95 model, with a age of 349 units, and now it has only traveled more than 5,000 kilometers, and the maintenance is very good, even the spare key is there.

In terms of 95 years of technology, the F50 maintains its own acceleration of 100 kilometers in about 3.7 seconds through the V12 engine, and the top speed exceeds 325 kilometers per hour, which can be called a legend of the times, but unfortunately the legend of the year has a strong enemy: McLaren F1. It's not that the F50 is not strong, but the F1 that came out of nowhere is too dazzling.

Legends shouldn't be stuffy in the corner, and when An Feng saw it, he included this F50 in the procurement list, and good things came in pairs...... It's a couple! Now that I have seen it, I am panicked with a lot of money in my pocket, and it is a worthwhile car, so it's a pity not to get it down.
