Mixed In the United States As a Local Tyrant

  Chapter 123 Ferrari Legend

  (This is the addition of 212 monthly tickets... It's late at night, full of blood and tears)

  …

  After the contract was signed and the money arrived, An Feng and Joanna went home to prepare for their trip to Europe. This is a honeymoon trip, but the time is a little rushed. There are still ten days left before September, and Joanna has to continue her studies. So most of this trip is to take a quick look at the flowers. Fortunately, she is familiar with the environment.

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

An Feng regards the trip to Europe as a luxury trip, in addition to business, it is to play and spend to his heart's content, participate in the sports car auction in Italy, customize several famous watches for Joanna in Switzerland, or if he is lucky, he may even meet a rare one The rare jewelry... Anyway, not bad money now.

The booked air tickets and hotels have been arranged, and the credit has to go to Angela. Amex’s global travel services are impeccable. It guarantees that top customers will not feel any trouble. There are dedicated services throughout the process, including air tickets along the way. Hotel reservations, etc.

  An Feng and his family explained some things, that is, the money in the domestic account and the things about living in the local area. The money issue, the parents who are still playing in the country, said that the account has been received. The local life is to let my sister and brother-in-law learn more from Old John, and they will manage the vineyard in the future.

  In addition, Gu Li found several good private security companies, the scale is average, but he can train them with professional quality. An Feng still felt at ease with Gu Li, his strength lay there, and he was asked to act as the general counsel to manage his strength for him. Usually, it is like a defense company to take over jobs, provide security services for hotels and nightclubs, or provide bodyguards for celebrities and rich people.

  But An Feng hoped that it would never come in handy—except for moments of pretense.

   Things are arranged, and the European tour begins. Fly low-key to New York first by civil aviation, and then transfer to Rome, the capital of Italy, a Mediterranean country. The United States seems to be quite close to Europe, but it took nine hours to cross the Atlantic Ocean, and then the plane slowly landed at Fiumicino Airport.

  It is not very suitable to come to Italy in August, the weather is a bit hot, and the country is on holiday, namely "August Festival". The attitude towards life is slow—or lazy Italians have left the city at this time and went on vacation, and the local style in the city is a little less.

  Put away the stamped passport book and follow the flow of people. Ahead happened to be a group of Chinese tourists who came to travel. The tour guide wearing a red hat walked in front, and behind them were chattering tourists, taking pictures around with their cameras. An Feng heard the guide's mysterious reminder: "Be careful with your bags, there are a lot of local thieves."

  An Feng just heard the words of the tour guide clearly. There are so many thieves, which became his first impression of Rome. He turned to look at Joanna and asked, "Really?"

  Joanna nodded: "Put important items where you can see them, and pay attention to crowded places. Due to the economic downturn, thieves have been rampant recently."

   "Okay." An Feng threw the shoulder bag in front of his back, took Joanna's hand and left the airport. They had already booked the hotel before they came. Since they were the guests of the top suite, the hotel sent a discontinued Maybach 57 to pick them up. It was luxurious and elegant.

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

  Maybach 57 slowly driving on the ancient streets. Rome, known as the "capital of the world", was the political and cultural center of Europe at that time. It was August, and Italians went out for vacation one after another, leaving Rome to tourists from other places, but there was no empty city, but tourists flocked to occupy Rome. Various languages ​​were spoken by the crowd passing by, as if they had returned to the prosperous era of ancient Rome.

  They stayed there for a short time, mainly to admire the Colosseum in ancient Rome. Because they did not reserve tickets, some internal attractions could not be visited, but it was not necessary. An Feng was not very interested. After eating an authentic Italian meal in the restaurant, we went to find the Wishing Fountain in the afternoon. There were so many tourists, everyone put the euro coins in their hands into the pool, and then made up their own wishes.

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

   "Pfft!" An Feng sprayed water.

When leaving the wishing pool, there were some people gathered nearby, speaking English. An Feng happened to hear something as he passed by, as if something had been taken by a pickpocket. The next crime is almost one catch one, although there are police nearby.

   But the Italian police... Hehe, although they drive Lamborghini police cars.

   "It seems that what you said is true, thieves are rampant in Europe." An Feng said.

  Joanna was not surprised, she sympathized with the stolen tourist, took his hand again, and continued to chat about other things about travel. Not being stolen is of course nothing to do with him, not to mention that it is very difficult to steal from An Feng who is responsive.

I originally planned to see some religious buildings in Roman Gothic style, or the "Vatican City" in the city, but Joanna is a Protestant, while Rome has a strong Catholic environment. , but still no need to go.

   Then there is the second thing: luxury cars.

  Italy is a world-famous kingdom of sports cars, with the famous "two queens and one queen". The second emperor is Ferrari and Lamborghini, and the second is Maserati.

An Feng was very lucky this time. It just so happened that tomorrow there will be a large-scale "Ferrari Legend" auction, which will be held in Rome jointly by the famous auction company RM and Sotheby's. There will be many heavyweight Ferrari sports cars. All those rare ones.

   This kind of thing happened when An Feng had a lot of money... He went to the exhibition before the auction in the afternoon, and the luxury car took them to the destination. The venue of the exhibition is open-air. Apart from the most popular "Ferrari Legend", there are also auctions of other sports cars, but there are not many heavyweights.

  Dragging Joanna to appreciate this large piece of red—the classic Ferrari red. There are many styles on display, ranging from rare 375 antique sports cars, 400 convertible series, to the flagship F50 at the end of the 20th century, and the first flagship F60 in the new century, or it should be called ENZO (Enzo).

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

  Joanna saw his favorite appearance and asked, "Let me introduce you?"

An Feng was intoxicated: "Besides the exaggerated shape, I'm afraid it should be a work of art. As we all know, the founder of Ferrari is called Enzo Ferrari, and this car is called Ferrari-Enzo. Just by these few words, you can know It is endowed with a special meaning. This model is very rare, with 400 in the world, and it is estimated that 100 were damaged for various reasons, and the others that survived have become collectors’ treasures.”

   "It looks great!" Joanna said. Women usually don't know much about cars, just like An Feng is almost an idiot about jewelry brands.

  An Feng looked up at this speed machine. Even though ENZO has been replaced by the new flagship LaFerrari, it still cannot hide its light.

Whether it is F50 or F60, or the latest F70 (LaFerrari), many conditions are required to order a brand new Ferrari flagship. Starting from F50, one has to own at least two Ferraris, accept the invitation, and review the customer will not immediately Conditions such as changing hands of the sports car.

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

I thought that I would be lucky enough to meet ENZO, but I didn’t expect to meet 599GTO later. Although the appearance is similar to the ordinary 599, its black roof shows its uniqueness. The "road version of the racing car" means that it is a racing car that is legally used on the road, and is a top-notch road car that is stuffed into F1 technology by the designer.

   "Excellent!" An Feng smiled brightly. Although he can't touch them yet, these two monsters have already been pre-ordered by him.

Buying them, in addition to the pursuit of car fans, is also very worthwhile in terms of investment. Take ENZO for example, in 2002, its price was about 750,000 US dollars. After more than ten years, the latest At the European auction, it sold for a high price of 1.7 million US dollars, with great potential for appreciation.

  Buy it back and put it aside for ten years, and then sell it at auction, it may become 2.5 million. Don’t doubt the appreciation potential of Ferrari sports cars. The 250GTO sold for 40 million is the best example. Of course, you have to be able to keep it for decades, with short mileage and still in good condition.

Going further down, when I saw a convertible Ferrari F50, I stopped again and read the introduction. This car is a special edition of the 50th anniversary of the 1995 model. It was limited to 349 cars, and now it has only driven more than 5,000 kilometers. Very well maintained, even a spare key is included.

  Based on the technology of 1995, the F50 uses the V12 engine to maintain its acceleration from 100 kilometers to about 3.7 seconds, and its top speed breaks through 325 kilometers per hour. It's not that the F50 is not strong, but that the F1 that was born out of nowhere is too dazzling.

  Legend shouldn’t just be bored in the corner. When An Feng saw it, he immediately included the F50 in his purchase list. Good things come in pairs...and three! Now that I let myself see it, I'm panicked with so much money in my pocket, and it's a car worth the money, it's a pity not to get it.

  PS: Do you want to have a Lamborghini passion in the future?
