45: A little money shock

In addition to the first 911, three GT3 cars of various models appeared in subsequent auctions.

The GT3 cars were also sold for as little as 5 million, and the highest was a Lamborghini Huracán GT3, which was bought for 6.1 million.

However, the person who bought it was a little far away from Qin Miao's place where they were sitting, and Qin Miao didn't know what the person who bought it looked like.

At the same time, there are also a number of supercars in the auction, such as Bugatti and Pagani, Koenigsegg.

And it's a well-known fact that the most important lots of an auction are often left last.

This time was no exception.

As time passed, they gradually approached the meal, but fortunately, there were small snacks prepared by the organizers, and Qin Miao and Qiu Meng did not feel hungry at this time.

And the last lot was also pushed to the stage with great anticipation.

As the curtain opened, a car covered in red satin appeared in front of everyone.

The car is short and has a low chassis, but the body is long.

According to Qin Miao's visual inspection, the length of this car is at least five meters.

Judging by the bulge in the middle of the car, this should be a formula car.

However, it is difficult to say which team's car Qin Miao is this, after all, this red silk cloth covers too many things.

Of course, Qin Miao's doubts did not last long, and soon the staff uncovered the silk cloth covering the car.

The moment the car under the silk cloth revealed its true body, Qin Miao was stunned.

Because it was a Mercedes-Benz F1 car that appeared on stage.

Black side boxes and roll cages, silver shark fins, plus the characteristic silver paint work of Mercedes above the nose and the Mercedes triangle logo.

Qin Miao could see at a glance that this was a Mercedes W09, a formula 1 car that was still in service last year.

Look at the number below the shark's fin: 77.

This is the Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas!

Isn't this car still racing last year? Why is it on the auction table now?

In other words, shouldn't this kind of car have some undisclosed technology? Why did you just sell it?

After all, there are still a lot of W09 shadows on this year's W10, and if you let a competitor buy the car, Toto can't it explode on the spot?

This is already a leak, right? Does the FIA care?

In an instant, a large number of doubts occupied Qin Miao's mind.

But when he was confused, the auctioneer on the stage had already begun to introduce the car.

This is indeed a Mercedes W09, and it is ready to run on the track right now.

But there is also a requirement to buy this car, that is, you need to sign a 15-year contract.

Contracts have legal effect and the terms are extremely strict.

Roughly speaking, the technology on this car is protected as much as possible.

Whoever buys the car at the same time can put it away as an expensive collection.

You can also drive this car off the track if you have nothing to do, and Meiben will have a team of engineers to guarantee this car, but you have to pay for the wear and tear of tires and race fuel.

But you can't leave this car to others for research and analysis.

However, it is unlikely that someone who can be invited to the auction and have the strength to win the car will give it to Red Bull or Ferrari for them to study.

On the one hand, they signed a contract, and on the other hand, people who have spare money to buy a big toy that they can't necessarily play with at home once a year are really not lacking in the little reward they give after handing over this car to Meiben's competitors.

The auction began soon.

After seeing the starting price, Qin Miao lost her concept a little.

Because the starting price of an F1 car is 100 million RMB......

Although Qin Miao knew that this was completely the cost price of these things on this body after throwing out all the R&D expenses and transportation costs.

But 100 million has completely lost its concept for a person like Qin Miao, who has never even seen 100,000 yuan in cash.

Even Qin Miao felt that 100 million was a little less, after all, it might just be the material cost of building this F1.

You know, this is a Mercedes.

Soon, the price began to soar rapidly at a speed that Qin Miao and Qiu Meng couldn't understand.

In just five minutes, the price of the car came to 430 million.

Until now, there have been fewer people raising signs to bid, but the bidding is not over, and there are still people who are constantly raising their cards.

After more than ten minutes of bidding, the price of the car was finally fixed at 640 million.

He was bought by a middle-aged uncle in a suit who looked ordinary.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng didn't have much emotional fluctuation when they saw this price, because they couldn't understand how much the 600 million was.

And just when the auction was in full swing on the stage, Qin Miao lowered his head and began to inquire how much the most expensive F1 was sold.

Soon data was available, and the most expensive was the 1954 Mercedes W196R.

The car was bought in 2013 for £19.6 million, which was around £180 million at the exchange rate at the time......

It's the same Mercedes, but the price difference between the W196R and the current W09 is three times faster......

Now Qin Miao began to wonder if other F1 cars in recent years had also been sold like this, after all, this sale could be regarded as a wave of blood for the team.

Driver No. 1's cars can also be left behind, and the technology on these cars will no longer be kept secret before they are exhibited or used for other purposes.

In any case, with the final lot coming to an end, the auction came to an end.

The moderator once again thanked all the guests.

During this time, the staff of the organizer gave small gifts to all the guests who came to the party.

And these little gifts are not the same.

Ladies are given necklaces that look extremely delicate or very rare perfumes.

And men give watches or bracelets.

And the overall value of these small gifts is not less than 30,000.

Qin Miao and Qiu Meng also got the gifts prepared for the two of them by the organizer.

What Qin Miao obtained was a bracelet made of black and gold hard threads intertwined and woven through special weaving techniques, and the weight was not light, about two hundred grams, but it didn't feel heavy after wearing it on his hand.

And Qiu Meng's is also a bracelet, the craftsmanship and production techniques are the same as Qin Miao's bracelet style, but this girl's bracelet is red and gold.

This is clearly a piece of jewelry for couples in love.

Qiu Meng likes this bracelet very much, and Qin Miao judged by the weight of this bracelet and the braided gold thread that this should be real gold.

Qin Miao, who got this expensive gift, was a little apprehensive in her heart.

He didn't do anything, and he didn't have the ability to spend here.

It was by relying on the kindness of others that he got such a valuable gift, and Qin Miao felt that he was not sure how to take it.

However, for the organizers, these tens of thousands of yuan are the same as the pennies in Alipay for ordinary people, they don't care at all, it's just a small heart.

It is even said that the amount of thought that goes into preparing this gift is more valuable than the gift itself.

With so many people on site, basically everyone is equipped with a staff member who only serves this guest, and during this time, the staff needs to observe what the guest needs and analyze what gifts the guest may like.

The worker's salary is higher than the value of the gift.
