Chapter 776: Lin Yu's Scooter - Lesles!

Prince Adullah then took the two of them by the arm and sent them all the way to the courtyard, and someone drove Dudley's car over, followed by a silver-white Rolls-Royce.

Lin Yu gasped slightly, even Du Deliwei on the side changed color a little, and as for Yang Zhigang, who was standing behind, he even stopped breathing.

"Lin, my friend, this car is for you to use for transportation for the time being, with it, I believe you will spend a better holiday in Jeddah." Prince Abdullah said with a bit of pride. In this world, there are still many things that you can't buy with money. He was glad to see the surprise on the faces of the crowd. Britain's Rolls-Royce Motor Cars produces only a few thousand vehicles a year, which is not even a fraction of the monthly output of the world's major automobile companies. But Rolls-Royce is the most expensive in the world. It is also a sedan that symbolizes the status of the owner. At one time, Rolls-Royce was almost synonymous with the power and dignity of the British Empire. The most distinctive thing about Rolls-Royce is that it has been born to the present. Even though other automotive companies around the world have generally used robots to work on assembly lines, they still use a lot of manual labor.

In this world, if cars are also classified, then Rolls-Royce is undoubtedly the king of cars.

Rolls-Royce is the only symbol of the elegance and nobility of the automobile kingdom, no matter how old the Rolls-Royce style is, no matter how expensive it is, there is still no challenger.

Rolls-Royce was officially established in England in 1906, and the following year the SilverGhost sedan was soon hailed as "the best car in the world".

Is the founder of Rolls-Royce Charlie? Rouse and Henry? Rice, the two have completely different backgrounds, hobbies, and personalities, but their persistence and yearning for the automobile career make them an excellent pair. Rolls was killed in a plane crash on July 12, 1910, and Royce died on April 22, 1933.

The original Rolls-Royce had two major features compared to its competitors: the simplicity of the manufacturing process and the extremely low noise level of driving, which quickly became Rolls-Royce classics. The first truly legendary "Silver Devil" was born in 1906 and made its debut at the Paris Motor Exposition. Its golden bell dome radiator is so striking that it remains an irreplaceable Rolls-Royce design element to this day. In addition to its unique appearance, the SilverGhost also boasts technology that was ahead of its time: forced lubrication, a 7-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 48 horsepower. The top speed was 110 kmh, which was a world record at the time.

The most distinctive feature of Rolls-Royce is that it uses a lot of manual labor, which in the United Kingdom, where labor costs are quite high, which will inevitably lead to high production costs, which is one of the reasons why Rolls-Royce prices are amazing. To this day, Rolls-Royce engines are built entirely by hand. What's even more amazing is. The grille of the Rolls-Royce front radiator is done entirely by skilled workers with their hands and eyes, without the need for any measuring tools. A radiator takes a worker a whole day to manufacture, and then it takes 5 hours to process and polish it.

Today, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is produced in just a few thousand units a year, and the brand's success is due to the fact that it has always adhered to the traditional British art of car building: refinement, timelessness and meticulousness. It is therefore unbelievable that more than 60% of Rolls-Royces are still performing well from 1906 to the present.

The Rolls-Royce logo pattern features two "R's" overlapped together, symbolizing that you have me. I have you, which reflects the harmonious and harmonious relationship between the two. And the famous Flying Goddess logo is derived from a beautiful love story.

The logo was designed by the British painter and sculptor Charles? Sykes. At the beginning of the 20th century, he was introduced by his friend Montagu. Sykes was responsible for designing a sculptural emblem for Rolls-Royce. At that time, Montagu, who was married, happened to have Thornton, the dancer he had been obsessed with, and found that Thornton had been raising their children alone for all these years. Moved by their love, Sykes designed a small statue of Montague based on Thornton. Montague placed the statue on the front of his Rolls-Royce, and the upper class people followed suit.

This love story has gone through many hardships, Thornton's status was once a stripper, and the old Montague did not allow his son to marry the dancer, so the two were not able to live together. A serendipity. Montague meets Thornton, who is wearing heavy makeup, at the bar and follows her to her apartment. After receiving his wife's understanding, Montagu and Thornton finally got together, but unfortunately, during World War I, Montagu was sent to India to inspect the motorized troops. He and Thornton boarded the ship on December 13, 1915, but the ship was torpedoed by the Germans, and Montague survived, while Thornton was drowned on the ship. Later, their beautiful and twisted love story was deposited in the small statue, and Rolls and Royce, who were also friends of Montagu, were very touched when they learned about it. Later, they invited Sykes to change it to the image of her hands stretched back like wings, which is today's "Goddess of Flight". In 1911, it officially became the logo of Rolls-Royce. Since then, the Rolls-Royce Flying Goddess logo has become a beautiful symbol of love.

The mascot on the front of every Rolls-Royce, the winged goddess of joy, is a perfect example of Rolls-Royce's pursuit of perfection. Charles, the designer of the Rolls-Royce logo? Sykes describes his design philosophy this way: "The graceful goddess takes the front of a Rolls-Royce as a fountain of pleasure, swaying in the breeze along the way. This philosophy and the shape of the goddess are the embodiment of Rolls-Royce's commitment to excellence.

The process of making this statue of the goddess is also extremely complex. It is molded entirely by hand using the traditional wax mold process, which is then polished by hand at least eight times, and then the polished idol is ground for 65 minutes in a machine filled with a mixed polishing substance. The finished statue of the goddess also undergoes a rigorous inspection.

It is said that at Rolls-Royce, it takes 15 hours to make a steering wheel, 31 hours to assemble a body, and 6 days to install an engine. Because of this, it can only move 6 inches per minute on the assembly line. It takes two and a half months to make a four-door car, and each car has to go through 5,000 miles of testing, so the average customer who orders a Rolls-Royce needs to wait patiently for more than half a year. This will inevitably lead to high production costs for Rolls-Royce cars in the United Kingdom, where labor costs are quite high.

But that's not the most important thing. It's about buying a Rolls-Royce, and it's not just about having money. Rolls-Royce had to check the identity and background of the car buyer, and there was a rule in history that only people with noble status could order a car from Rolls-Royce. And the color of the vehicle is not determined by the owner either. To this day, Rolls-Royce still adheres to similar regulations, such as world-renowned technologists, well-known entrepreneurs can have white, government ministers and above, world-renowned entrepreneurs and social celebrities can drive silver, and black Rolls-Royce is only for kings, queens, heads of government, prime ministers and cabinet members. The car-making company has reached the point of being so luxurious that it can choose its customers.

But even so, the number of people who apply to Rolls-Royce every year to buy a car still far exceeds Rolls-Royce's annual production. And those old Rolls-Royces. It is also the best sought after by car collectors around the world. The value is really impressive.

Du Deliwei looked at Lin Yu enviously, although he had also been invited to ride in a Rolls-Royce car together, but he had never had such a borrowed treatment as Lin Yu. With this Rolls-Royce, Lin Yu in Saudi Arabia, in addition to those military restricted areas, there are also places where non-Muslims are forbidden to enter, it can be said that it will be unimpeded. Even Saudi Arabian police officers take special care of him. Prince Adullah was so generous to him! However, Dudleywi thought about it, and he was at ease, with the 50 million dollars in charcoal in the snow, it was reasonable for Prince Abdullah to give him such treatment.

Lin Yu also understood that this was unshirkable, so he simply agreed. Although Lin Yu is not uncommon, this Raush's Rolls-Royce. Of course, the reason why it is not uncommon is because Lin Yu now has 70% of the shares of Rolls-Royce in his hands, but under normal circumstances, Lin Yu will not take a Rolls-Royce, if he travels by Rolls-Royce every day, it will be annoying.

Not only is he annoying, but other drivers on the road are also annoying.

Lin Yu remembered that in his previous life, another Rolls-Royce and an Accord kissed him gently, good guy, this kiss made the owner of the Accord compensate 2 million for the repair costs. Of course, in the end, Lin Yu had forgotten about whether he had paid so much compensation.

He looked at Dudleyway, who smiled and shook hands, hugged and kissed Prince Adullah again, and then got into his seat first. didn't wait for Lin Yu and them. First out of the courtyard one by one Lin Yu was going to the villa, and the hotel where Du Deliwei was staying was not in the same direction, so he left Lin Yu his mobile phone and room phone number at the banquet to facilitate future contact.

Lin Yu also said goodbye to Prince Abdullah according to the gourd painting. Prince Abdullah patted him on the shoulder and said, "Lin, since you're here, you might as well stay a few more days." Relax and enjoy life, and I'll make an appointment with you when I'm free. (To be continued......)
