Back to 704, I told Concubine Yue about attending the cocktail party at night, Concubine Yue immediately got to the bottom of it, and when she knew that it was this kind of formal business cocktail party, she immediately began to chatter:

"Why didn't you say it earlier, what time is it, and you still have to buy clothes, do hair, and beauty, and you don't have enough time at all."

"Huh? Didn't you just buy so many clothes? ”

"Teach you to be a good person, like this kind of drinking party, you have to wear a dress. I bought clothes that I usually wear. ”

Khan, women are so troublesome, or it is convenient for men, anyway, they are all like that.

After complaining, Concubine Yue drove the Ferrari and disappeared. Xiao Yifei looked at the holy book for a while, and then looked up the etiquette of the drinking party on the Internet. This kind of drinking party is not the kind of business reception that Xiao Yifei attended in Napa, since Lei Shidong participated, there must be people of the same level as him, and there may be politicians who want to introduce him, he has to make up the class temporarily, so as not to be rude.

"Mr. Somer, this is my friend, Yue."

Concubine Yue saw the top media tycoon for the first time, and she was excited, and hurriedly said hello:

"Hello Mr. Summer."

"Shaw, your friend is beautiful."

After chatting a few words, everyone was ready to go.

"Xiao, don't drive your car, take my car."

Xiao Yifei saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly driving out of the garage, worthy of being a top-level business car, looking at it gives people a calm and atmospheric feeling, and the interior space of the car is very large.

This is good, driving a Rolls-Royce to a Rolls-Royce cocktail party is definitely not a smashing scene.

"Summer. Your car is awesome, how much does it cost? ”

"It seems like more than 500,000."

"It's expensive."

"Can't you afford it?"

"That's not it, the problem is that you have to hire a driver when you buy a car, it's so troublesome, I like to drive around by myself."

"I was the same when I was younger, only now I'm old. Can't drive. ”

Mulholland Avenue winds its way to the top of a hill, with occasional lights of Los Angeles to the south and the San Fernando Valley to the north. The Phantom drove along Mulholland Avenue for more than ten minutes, turned onto a side road, and came to the venue where the reception was held.

Rolls-Royce's cocktail party didn't choose a hotel or resort, but chose Jack Cowen's home. Jack Cowen is a wealthy man who loves to collect cars.

Lei Shidong's car drove to the gate, and someone immediately recognized his car, and a middle-aged man politely opened the car door, intending to reach out and help the old man. But it turned out that it was Xiao Yifei who came out of the car. That one was stunned for a moment, curious about the identity of this one.

Xiao Yifei stood up with Lei Shidong in his arms, and invited Concubine Yue out, and the two followed behind Lei Shidong to watch Karen and Lei Shidong, who were in charge of North American sales at Rolls-Royce, and Lei Shidong also introduced Xiao Yifei to Karen.

At this time, an electric golf cart came in front of her, and Karen invited everyone to sit on it. The golf cart drove slowly through a bush-lined path to a parking mall with tiles and green grass. There is a Rolls-Royce on the apron, and it seems that this car is the protagonist today.

Under the illumination of the light. The main tone of this car is black and grey car exudes a unique charm, and you don't need to look at the front logo to know that this is a Rolls-Royce.

Speaking of the Rolls-Royce logo, it is called "Goddess of Celebration", which is said to be named after a car named Eleanor. The English beauty of Thornton (eleanorthornton) was designed as a prototype. However, the design began with the goddess placing one hand in front of her mouth to make a quiet motion, and then combining the "Goddess of Victory" sculpture, one of the three treasures of the Louvre, with the back. It has been changed to the current appearance, except that the goddess of celebration on the car logo is more ruthless than the goddess of victory.

Xiao Yifei took advantage of the two of them to talk and looked at the house in front of him curiously. It has a white flat-roofed exterior of the Greek type, and the building materials are heavily made of limestone, but it is different from the ordinary Greek style. At the same time, a large amount of glass is used, resulting in a style that blends modern simplicity with Greek.

The main house is a two-storey building, and due to the topography, the gate is located on the second floor, facing the hillside. Across the street from the main house is a glass garage with Jack's collection of vintage cars.

The entrance to the main house is the second floor, and after going down the stairs, it is located in the reception hall on the first floor. Xiao Yifei and Concubine Yue were holding Lei Shidong alone, and the other CBS stocks have not yet arrived, old man, you have to take care of your health.

When I entered the hall, I found that it was similar to other drinking parties, that is, everyone ran around with wine glasses, and when they met familiar or interested people, they got together and chatted.

After waiting for a while, the reception began, first with a welcome speech from Karen, and finally with a saying:

"Thanks again to Jack Cowen, who is a great collector of cars and his collection is wonderful. Finally, we welcome today's mystery guest. ”

When Xiao Yifei heard the mysterious guest, he thought it was a star who came to perform, but it turned out to be an old man.

Xiao Yifei quietly asked Concubine Yue:

"Who is this?"

Concubine Yue shook her head slightly.

It turned out that the so-called mystery guest was Ian Robertson, who was in charge of marketing on BMW's board of directors. This disappointed Xiao Yifei.

The BMW director briefly said a few words of thanksgiving for liking Rolls-Royce and other nonsense, and invited Ian Cameron, the chief designer of Rolls-Royce.

Ian Cameron took everyone upstairs to the parking apron and introduced the protagonist of the day, the Rolls-Royce Gust (Ghost) model, to the real car. To put it simply, this is the entry-level model of Rolls-Royce, which is a lap smaller than the Phantom, but has more horsepower than the Phantom, and they have been designed with control in mind, so that you can enjoy the pleasure of Rolls-Royce whether you are driving or riding the Gust.

When he opened all the doors, Xiao Yifei was happy, this is a four-door model, its front two doors are normal, but the two doors in the back seat actually do not open forward like ordinary cars, nor do they open upwards like some sports cars, but open backwards. So that when the four doors are opened, there is only one b-pillar left.

Xiao Yifei instantly opened his brain, in general police and gangster movies, there are often policemen hiding behind the car door to shoot at the gangsters, if it is this car, the police can hide between the two doors, so that they are not afraid of the gangsters attacking before and after.

"Our Gust model is positioned differently from the Phantom model, and the two are like the difference between a custom tuxedo and a custom suit, the Gust model is not so formal, you can use it every day."

Xiao Yifei understands this positioning problem, because the stability of the Phantom series has always been a top business sedan, but it is this stability that makes their audience narrow and their sales are greatly limited, so Rolls-Royce Motor Cars was sold to BMW. It seems that this Gust model should be an innovation made by BMW to expand their sales.

In the end, he announced the price of the car, which was only $240,000. This price scared Xiao Yifei a lot, it was half cheaper than Lei Shidong's Phantom, of course, this is the basic configuration, many of Lei Shidong's ones are personalized and customized, and many accessories are installed, of course it is expensive.

Then it was time for the reception, everyone was dangling around with wine glasses, there were people on the parking apron, in the hall, in the swimming pool, and even on the tennis court near Mulholland Avenue below, Xiao Yifei took Concubine Yue and began to recognize people everywhere. It's a pity that this is a Rolls-Royce business reception, and the old customers and potential customers who invite Rolls-Royce are basically business people, and few Hollywood stars use Rolls-Royce, so I didn't see a familiar face for a long time.

When he wandered to the swimming pool, he was seen through the glass by Lei Shidong, who was sitting in the small living room, so he raised his hand to wave to him and motioned for him to enter.

When I came in, I found that it was BMW director Ian Robertson who was sitting here chatting with a bunch of older people, and after some introduction, Xiao Yifei found two more famous producers, and the others were rich people. There are no politicians that Xiao Yifei thought he wanted to introduce to himself.

Robertson saw Xiao Yifei helping Lei Shidong down the stairs, and knew that he had a close relationship with Lei Shidong, so he teamed up with Karen, who was in charge of North American sales, to launch a propaganda offensive against him. It's a pity that Xiao Yifei feels that this car is of little use to him, and if there is really a business occasion that needs it, he can rent one temporarily. Robertson, who failed in his sales, still gave Xiao Yifei an invitation to the Los Angeles Auto Show, inviting him to participate in the Los Angeles Auto Show when he was free, and specifically explained that their BMW also participated in the show.

Waiting until 10 o'clock in the evening, Lei Shidong retired early, and Xiao Yifei and Concubine Yue also felt that this kind of wine would not be fun, so they also retired early.

After returning home, Xiao Yifei went online and learned that the Los Angeles Auto Show will officially start tomorrow, and the first few days are open to the media, VIPs, etc., and it will not be open to the public until December 4, and then the auto show will last until the 13th.

It's a pity that Xiao Yifei has to participate in the negotiation at this time, judging from today's situation, Lei Shidong should have decided to sell the stock to him, and there should never be the same situation as a few days ago, so it seems that he has no time to participate in this auto show.

"What do you have to eat here, I'm so hungry."

Back at 704, Concubine Yue began to shout that she was hungry, and Xiao Yifei realized that she was also a little hungry.

"Wait for me to see, there should be snacks."

Xiao Yifei brought out a bunch of snacks, and the two of them ate it with milk.

"Hey, you said this Rolls-Royce is too picky. I also attended a few drinking parties and organized a few drinking parties, and basically there were waiters walking around with a plate of small snacks for us to eat. But I didn't see it tonight. ”

Concubine Yue said mysteriously:

"I'll tell you, I found an area to put snacks, but you know no, there was a queue for a while. You know, get in line for snacks and make me happy. ”

Xiao Yifei was embarrassed. (To be continued......)
