Chapter 231: A Trip to Europe (5)
"This is Italy's third largest city, the automotive capital of Italy? The scenery is really different. ”
Walking on the streets of Turin, Jiang Shan couldn't help but look around, and his mouth kept being amazed.
"You're wrong, there's more to Turin than that!"
Zhong Shi shook his head slightly, pointed to the distance and said to Jiangshan, "Look, that is the Antonellian Minaret, the landmark building of Turin, the current Italian National Film Museum, and the famous cultural center. ”
Following the direction of Zhong Shi's finger, Jiangshan saw a tower about 100 meters high, a boxy religious style building, with a circular top floor design, and a high minaret at the dome.
"It doesn't look very tall, but you have to know that it's the tallest masonry building in the world. If it is high, the strength of the masonry cannot bear such a heavy load, so the structure of reinforced concrete is now used. ”
Zhong Shi explained carefully as he walked forward, "I've been in contact with builders before, so I know a little bit about architecture. This time I came to Turin, of course, to have a good look at their architecture. ”
"You're also involved in that?"
Jiang Shan was really surprised, and only after a while did he shake his head with emotion and follow Zhong Shi's footsteps.
After meeting with Ignazio, the Vice-President of the Bank of Italy, Zhongshi and Jiangshan traveled to the city of Turin, located at the foot of the Alps, in the northern part of Italy, where the headquarters of Fiat Automobilia is located. According to the set agenda, they will visit the Agnelli family, who are in charge of the Fiat Group, tomorrow morning, and when they have nothing to do, Zhongshi and Jiangshan decide to go for a walk in the city of Turin.
Surprisingly, Zhongshi seems to be familiar with the city of Turin, and almost every monument can point out its origin and historical heritage. Three times and two times down. Jiang Shan didn't dare to say anything more.
"Hey, it seems to be very lively up ahead?"
As he walked, people in zebra-colored jerseys appeared one after another around Zhongshi and Jiangshan, slowly converging in one direction.
Following the large army and taking two steps, Jiang Shan realized that in the stadium in front, it seemed that there was a game to be played in the stadium in front. He said excitedly to Zhong Shi. The implication is naturally that I want to go and have a good time.
"Oh, by the way, there are still a few sports teams in Turin. Looking at the color of the fans' clothes, it seems to be Juventus fans, it seems that it is their game. ”
Zhong Shi looked at the surging crowd and nodded with a smile.
"Juventus?"
As a Chinese-American who grew up in North America, Jiang Shan is an out-and-out sports fan. But the most popular sports in North America are rugby, ice hockey, basketball and baseball, and football is not a popular sport, so it is simply unheard of for a big football club like Juventus.
"This is the club that has won the Italian football league the most times. It is one of the top giants in the whole of Europe. ”
Although he is not an avid sports fan, Zhong Shi still has a certain understanding of football, and at the moment he explained lightly, "But it seems that he was relegated for match-fixing two years ago, and now he is back in the top league." By the way, they are also the property of the Agnelli family. It is thanks to the support of the Agnelli family that they have been able to consistently rank among the top clubs in Europe. ”
"This is also the Agnelli family's inheritance?"
Although I have long heard the names of the so-called four great families of Italy, I have seen something inadvertently. The behavior of the shadow of the Agnelli family behind it still surprised Jiangshan.
in Italy. Known as the "royal family", the Agnelli family is a symbol of wealth and status, and Fiat Automobilia is the most important asset controlled by the Agnelli family.
Fiat Auto Group, one of the world's top 10 automobile groups, is a well-known European car manufacturer. It includes famous brands such as Ferrari, Chrysler, Dodge, Maserati and Alfa, and manufactures more than 2 million cars of all kinds every year. With an operating income of nearly 50 billion euros, it is one of the world's top 500 companies.
And it is such a giant, which has been firmly controlled by the Agnelli family for several generations, and the power and wealth of the Agnelli family can be seen.
"Yes, in the whole city of Turin. They can get to the point where they can cover the sky with one hand! ”
Looking at Jiang Shan's slightly exaggerated expression, Zhong Shi said with some amusement, "This is an old European family, which is commonly known as old/money, and for such a family, the tentacles have already extended to all aspects of the city. So, don't make a fuss when you hear that this is the property of the Agnelli family, it's a common thing. ”
The two talked and laughed and walked towards the gymnasium in the crowd.
At the entrance to the south gate of the gymnasium, there is a large square. Hundreds of people had gathered here to wait, fans in black and white jerseys could be seen everywhere, and just as Zhong Shi was considering whether to buy a jersey to put on his body, a roar came from afar.
It's the sound of a supercar.
After hearing this sound, the fans of the entire square began to unconsciously retreat to both sides, and it didn't take long to give way to a huge open space. And in this blank, only Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan were left, standing alone in the center of the blank space.
"What's going on?"
Just when Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan were still confused, a red car shadow jumped into the square like lightning, and with a piercing roar, it sped towards Zhong Shi and the others, this is a brand-new Ferrari sports car.
"Racing at high speed in such a crowded place!"
After a rough estimate, the speed of the sports car exceeded eighty yards, and Zhong Shi couldn't help frowning, subconsciously preparing to dodge.
But what he never expected was that even if the owner saw Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan, he still didn't step on the brakes, but suddenly stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car flew towards the two of them at a faster speed than just now.
The 100-meter acceleration of a Ferrari sports car is generally less than 4 seconds, so when the owner steps on the accelerator again, the whole car is like a beast, roaring towards the two of them with a terrible roar.
This change surprised everyone, Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan were completely unable to react to it, and they didn't even have time to dodge, they could only watch the sports car rush towards them.
The people around him seemed to be unable to bear to see this scene. Most people closed their eyes.
When Ferrari was only five or six meters away from Zhong Shi and the others, a sharp and piercing brake sound sounded in time, and Ferrari stubbornly stopped the momentum of rushing forward, but the front wheel was locked up, and the rear wheel was still rushing forward. At this time, the owner showed superb driving skills, slammed the steering wheel to the right, and the whole car suddenly made a 360-degree rotation in place, and after a beautiful drift, it stopped firmly in the square.
It's just that the slight flaw is that the rear of the car gently touched the calf of Jiang Shan, who was blocking Zhong Shi, at the moment it stopped. Although it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, it is also unbearable pain for a while.
"Horse-stepping, how does this damn guy drive!"
Jiang Shan was suddenly furious. Ignoring the pain in his calf, he slammed the Ferrari's lid and yelled at the owner.
Seeing that there was no expected tragedy, the people around the audience dispersed in twos and threes, without the slightest look at the lively posture, it seems that they should have seen a similar situation more than once, and they are not curious at all.
The door opened, and a young woman wearing sunglasses stepped out.
"Hey. Watch your actions! ”
She opened her lips slightly, and it was obvious that Jiangshan's behavior of slapping the sports car had made her dissatisfied. "This gentleman, you should be careful when you start, be careful if it is broken, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay it!"
She spoke in English with a gloating smile on her face.
It was a tall woman with black hair. With a goose egg face and bright lip gloss, she wears a low-cut backless evening gown that fully shows off the curves of her chest and back.
If it is changed to another location, Jiang Shan will inevitably step forward to tease. But it's this woman. He almost killed him and Zhong Shi just now, how could he give each other a good look in this situation?
"This lady, do you know that you are dangerous to drive?"
Jiang Shan yelled at her, "Damn, there are so many people here, you actually drive so fast." Not to mention anything else, you saw us just now, but you didn't brake in time, do you want to kill us? ”
He replied in the same English.
"Didn't you hit it!"
The woman in sunglasses was very disdainful, took off her glasses, revealed a pair of peach blossom eyes, and looked Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan up and down before she said in Mandarin, "Two Chinese? ”
"So what?"
Zhong Shi's face sank like water, and he had no intention of speaking at all. Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment, and then his tone unconsciously slowed down a lot, "Yes, we are Huaxia, don't think that this matter is like this, although you stepped on the brakes, you still hit me!" ”
As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his trousers, and a shocking red color appeared on his calves.
"It would be much easier if it were Huaxia people!"
The red-lipped woman took out her purse from her handbag, took out a stack of banknotes casually, and sprinkled it at Jiang Shan, "The money here is enough for you to see a doctor." For the sake of my compatriots, I'll give you a little more, maybe even a ticket back will be enough. ”
After saying that, she didn't even bother to look at Zhong Shi and the others again, put on her sunglasses again, and was about to leave as soon as she turned around.
The banknotes were flying in the sky, and the green dollars were roughly estimated by Jiang Shan, and there were at least 20 hundred-yuan bills, that is, the woman was $2,000 as soon as she made a shot.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Zhong Shi spoke.
"Huh?"
The red-lipped woman stopped, looked at Zhong Shi, who had not spoken before, in surprise, and asked blankly, "Two, is there anything else?" ”
Without waiting for Zhong Shi to answer, she seemed to remember something, patted her head, took out her wallet again, and said while counting the bills outside, "By the way, don't you think you have less money?" There's one more point here, take it all! Remember, get out of here as soon as you get the money, don't expect to pester the old lady! Phew, two poor ghosts, just ran into a little bit, even if the police came, don't plan to lie to me. ”
She said to herself as she reached out and handed the money to Bell Stone. Perhaps realizing that her attitude was not very good, she did not spill the money on the ground.
Green and jade hands, slender and fair, and painted with bright red nail polish, this is a soft worm that can be hooked by men when they see it. It's just that when what she said fell on Zhong Shi's ears, it turned this white and tender jade hand into an existence that was not even as good as a rough and shriveled chicken claw.
"According to your logic, as long as you have money, you can drive at the speed limit, and you have such an attitude after hitting someone?"
Zhong Shi smiled instead of being angry, looked at the banknotes in the other party's hand, and asked seemingly calmly.
And at this moment, in his chest, the anger was already burning to the point of exploding. Just wait for an opportunity for these anger to erupt.
"Isn't it?"
The red-lipped woman first asked rhetorically, then giggled, "I don't know anything else." But here, with money you can do everything. This girl is in a good mood, and because you are Chinese, I deliberately gave you a little more money. Hey, don't be ignorant! ”
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, five clear red finger shadows immediately appeared on her pretty face! (To be continued.) )
