Chai Liang was sitting alone on a chair, looking very withdrawn. His expression was also very disgusting, and he looked like he couldn't get close to strangers.
The jade pendant he bought for more than 13 million Hong Kong dollars was outshone by someone else's supercar worth more than 20 million. This made Chai Liang feel very aggrieved. For him, the price difference of ten million is a small matter, but being overtaken by others and losing face is a big deal.
In the distance, Jia Liancheng looked arrogant and continued to attack, which made Chai Liang feel confused.
"Isn't he just a nouveau riche!" Chai Liang snorted coldly.
As the third generation of a Hong Kong shipbuilding family, Chai Liang really looked down on these mainland tycoons. Chai Liang's grandfather started in the shipping industry after the end of World War II in the last century. In the early 1970s, he had become the top rich man in Hong Kong Island. Even the richest man in Hong Kong Island who later relied on real estate to rise up, met Chai Chuan. The king also needs to be polite.
In contrast, most of these wealthy people in the Mainland have only slowly become prosperous in the past ten or twenty years. Even though many wealthy people in the Mainland have caught up from behind and surpassed those in Hong Kong in terms of assets, the superiority in the hearts of the people in Hong Kong still remains. The feeling is always lingering.
It's just that at this time, the sense of superiority in Chai Liang's heart was just self-comfort. Although the Chai family was rich, in terms of assets, Jia Liancheng's family was worthy of the Chai family, and Jia Liancheng was the rich second generation, while Chai Liang was Chai's family. The third generation of the family, the son will definitely inherit the family property faster than the grandson.
On the other side, Jia Liancheng was surrounded by people who praised him for a while. Compliments such as "Master Jia is grand" and "Master Jia is generous" came out endlessly. Jia Liancheng's vanity was greatly satisfied.
Of course Jia Liancheng looked triumphant, enjoying the compliments from everyone.
"Master Jia, this car you sent was the finale of the Donggang International Auto Show a few days ago, right? I also asked at the time, and it was said that someone had reserved it. I have always wondered who was so proud, but I didn't expect it to be Jia Jia. Don’t miss me! Mr. Jia, does this car drive well enough?”
"Haha, the most knowledgeable person here about sports cars is Chen Yang. Chen Yang, please introduce it to everyone!" Jia Liancheng said with a smile on his face.
Chen Yang understood that Jia Liancheng was trying his best to flatter him, but Jia Liancheng was right about one thing. Among the second-generation rich people at the scene, he was the only one who really knew about cars, Chen Yang.
Chen Yang coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said: "The LaFerrari given by Mr. Jia is Ferrari's flagship sports car. This car has a HY-KERS hybrid power system and a 6262CC V12 engine. It can accelerate to 600km/h in 7 seconds." It only takes 15 seconds to accelerate from 200 kilometers to 300 kilometers, and the top speed can reach more than 350 kilometers. This car is limited to 499 units in the world and is the world's top supercar. In terms of speed, this should be the current Ferrari The fastest road-going sports car ever launched.”
Chen Yang's introduction made Jia Liancheng feel even more pleased. He couldn't help but look at Chai Liang, who was sitting there sulking in the distance, and thought to himself: "So what about the Chai family in Hong Kong? It's just a declining family. In a few years, you won’t even be worthy enough to carry your shoes with me.”
At this moment, a whistle sounded in the distance, and a truck dragging a container appeared in everyone's field of vision, drove into the gate of the resort, and stopped in front of everyone.
"Who gave this a gift? It was brought by a truck. It must be a big item. What do you think it is?"
"I think it's probably a sports car. There's no need to use a truck to pull other things."
"It's still specially packed in containers, which makes it quite mysterious."
"Look, this stevedore is still a foreigner!"
I saw two foreigners getting out of the car at the back. One of them, a red-bearded foreigner, opened the back door of the container, then took out something like a remote control and pressed the button.
The sound of mechanical gears turning was heard, and a bracket slowly stretched out from the container. There was indeed a sports car placed on the bracket.
It's just that the whole body of this sports car is tightly wrapped in a white plastic film. Although the shape and outline of the car can be seen, the color of the car cannot be seen, let alone the logo on the car.
The red-bearded foreigner continued to press the remote control, and with the help of hydraulic pressure, the bracket began to slowly descend, and finally landed on the ground.
"This should be a container specially used to transport sports cars. It seems to be very high-end."
"I think so too. The whole car was wrapped in plastic film to make it look mysterious. Two foreigners were hired to unload the goods. Not to mention, it suddenly became a big deal."
Everyone couldn't help but think of the scene when Jia Liancheng delivered the LaFerrari not long ago. It was also a truck, but the LaFerrari was only placed on a trailer and was driven off when unloading the truck. In contrast, this sports car has a special transport container and a special hydraulic support when unloading the car. Everything can be done with a remote control.
Although the additional remote control bracket does not have much technological content, the automatic and manual feel are completely different. Just like thirty years ago, TVs used manual knobs to change channels. Later, remote controls were used to switch TV channels. But with the addition of such a remote control, the level is completely different.
What's more, two foreigners came to unload the goods with the car.
These two foreigners were sent by a European transportation company. They not only served as escorts, but also served as technical guidance during unloading. After all, the entire car is protected by a polymer film that can withstand even sharp knives. Naturally, professionals must be responsible when removing it.
However, in the eyes of everyone, these two foreigners instantly improved their skills a lot.
This is like going out to eat. If you go to a French restaurant, there is a person playing the violin, and the waiters are all blond foreigners, wearing shirts, waistcoats and bow ties, speaking French, and the menu they are handed is also in French. Even if the guests are looking at it, I don’t understand, but I just think it looks classy and sentimental.
And if you find a roadside ramen restaurant, an old man wearing a vest and slippers will ask you what you want to eat in a dialect, and he will make a crackling sound while making ramen. Even this beef ramen is far more delicious than French food. , and you will not experience the class and sentiment.
Professional containers, electric unloading trucks, the whole vehicle wrapped in polymer film, plus two foreigners to unload the goods, it's like giving a product a gorgeous packaging.
The value of a product can be increased by packaging. The same apple sells for one yuan at a roadside stall. If you go to a specialized fruit and vegetable supermarket and put a label on it and put it in a fresh-keeping cabinet, it will sell for four or five yuan. But if you put it in a beautiful box, it will cost you four or five yuan. If you sell it on Christmas Eve, you can sell it for dozens of yuan.
Jia Liancheng's face looked a little embarrassed. Although he didn't know who sent this sports car, the mere process of unloading the car made people feel the difference in grade, which made Jia Liancheng feel quite embarrassed. He even regretted why he didn't buy a container and hire a few foreigners to unload the goods. It wouldn't cost much more anyway.
"Mysterious!" Jia Liancheng snorted coldly. However, he could not stop the curiosity of the people around him. In fact, even he himself wanted to know what kind of sports car was under the white protective film.
Everyone's eyes fell on the sports car wrapped in white protective film, and there were many people talking softly.
"It's another sports car. Who gave this as a gift? They even found a protective film to cover it. What kind of car is this?"
"I don't know, this appearance looks quite high-tech. With this streamlined design, it should be a supercar."
"Actually, it doesn't matter what kind of car it is. No matter how good a supercar it is, can it be as good as the LaFerrari given by Mr. Jia?"
"That's right. How can this car compare to a LaFerrari? Having said that, who gave this car as a gift? Mr. Jia gave him a sports car, and he also gave him a sports car. Can the car he gave him be better than the car Mr. Jia gave? That's not true. Are you deliberately making yourself uncomfortable?"
"Isn't that right? I'm afraid of clashing clothes when I wear clothes, and I'm afraid of 'colliding gifts' when giving gifts! The key is just 'colliding gifts'. What you give yourself is not as good as what others give. There is a saying that people If you compare with others, you will die, if you compare with goods, you will throw them away."
These comments reached Jia Liancheng's ears, making him feel much relieved instantly.
"That's right. No matter how fancy the packaging of this car is, how can it compare to the LaFerrari I gave as a gift? My car was the most expensive car at the Donggang International Auto Show! The world's top supercar." Jia Liancheng thought confidently. .
Just as Jia Liancheng was thinking about it, an exclamation suddenly sounded from the crowd:
"Oh my god, this is... this is..."
I saw a figure suddenly running out, rushing to the front of the car, looking straight at the sports car that had not yet been "unpacked".
This person is none other than Chen Yang!
"This is FXX! Am I right? Ferrari's FXX." Chen Yang's tone was full of surprise, and his voice began to tremble.
Others may not know the FXX, but as a senior sports car fan, how could Chen Yang not know this FXX? Even though the entire car is covered with a protective film, the outline of the car is very clear. Through the outline, Chen Yang has already recognized it. got this car.
The next second, Chen Yang looked at the two foreigners from the sports company and asked in English: "Is this car the Ferrari FXX?"
The foreigner hesitated slightly, but still nodded: "Sir, you guessed it right."
"Oh my God, FXX, it's really FXX! It's a real car! I saw a real FXX!" Chen Yang almost started dancing. His eyes and expression made him look like a devout believer. Like a pilgrimage.
In fact, for a super car fan like Chen Yang, the feeling of seeing FXX in person is no less than a pilgrimage.
Chen Yang's performance also caught everyone's attention.
"What's wrong with Chen Yang? Are you crazy? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"It seems to be because of that car, right? What did Chen Yang just say? Ferrari? Is this supercar also a Ferrari?"
"I heard Chen Yang say FXX. What is FXX? Is it the name of this car?"
"FXX? Is it famous?"
"I seem to have heard of it somewhere! Now that I think about it, FXX is also Ferrari's top supercar."
"It's also a top-notch supercar, right? So compared to LaFerrari, which one is more powerful?"
Not everyone in the second generation of rich people is proficient in supercars. Rich people directly pay for cars. Only keyboard warriors who cannot afford supercars hang supercar wallpapers on their mobile phones all day long and post them online. Talk about supercars of all kinds. Don’t buy the so-called affordable ones, and don’t buy the fancy ones. Who has ever seen the wealthy second generation in China bragging about supercars online when they have nothing to do
A truly rich person, even if his sports car crashes, will just find a place to sit quietly and scroll on his mobile phone. He doesn't care about the eighteen million at all. Changing a supercar is just like us ordinary people changing clothes. Who among us would discuss how many buttons we have on our clothes when we have nothing to do? How many threads were sewn
Especially the Ferrari FXX, which was created by Ferrari ten years ago. Ten years ago, many of the rich second-generation people on the scene had not even gotten their driver's licenses, so how many people would know about the FXX.
And even if you want to know about it, there is no way. A total of thirty units of this car have been produced, and there is not one in China. Even the ultimate sports car fan like Chen Yang has only seen the model, not the actual car. .
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "Chen Yang, what kind of car is this? Can you introduce it to us?"
Only then did Chen Yang come back to his senses from the excitement. He took a deep breath and introduced: "This car is Ferrari's FXX. It is also the most advanced GT model produced by Ferrari so far. This car uses It has a lot of racing technology, so strictly speaking, this car should be considered a racing car! And for sports car fans like us, this car is the 'god' in our hearts!"
As Chen Yang spoke, his tone became excited again: "Did you know? Including the prototype, only 30 units of this car were produced, only 30 units in the world, and all of them are among the top sports car collectors. We don’t have one in our country! Oh, no, now we finally have one!”
Chen Yang's eyes couldn't help but reveal a burning look, with that eager expression, as if a puppy had seen a bone.
"Look at this useless look! Isn't it just a car?" Jia Liancheng snorted in his heart.
At this time, someone next to him asked the question that Jia Liancheng wanted to ask the most, and it was also the question on the minds of many people.
"Chen Yang, how much is this car worth?"
Chen Yang shook his head: "I don't know."
"Chen Yang, are you kidding? There are sports cars in this world that you don't know the price of?" someone immediately asked.
"I'm not lying to you, I really don't know!" Chen Yang shook his head in distress: "This car was not for sale to the public. If you wanted to buy this car back then, you had to meet certain conditions. To be precise, , it is Ferrari that selects customers, and only if they select you, you are qualified to buy this car."
"Is there such a thing? Car sellers choose car buyers. This is how Ferrari sells cars." Someone immediately sighed.
Jia Liancheng felt like he was being robbed of the limelight. He couldn't help but said, "I'm talking to Chen Yang, even if this car is not sold publicly, it still needs an estimate, right?"
Chen Yang thought for a while and replied: "When this car first came out, some European media valued it at no less than 1.5 million euros."
"1.5 million euros, if you calculate the exchange rate, it is equivalent to more than 12 million in China. It is almost the same as that Princess Star!" Jia Liancheng said loudly on purpose, in order to tell everyone at the scene that this FXX The price is far lower than the LaFerrari I got as a gift.
"It was 1.5 million euros ten years ago." Chen Yang reminded him inappropriately.
Everyone suddenly woke up.
The exchange rate ten years ago was different from now. At that time, 1.5 million euros was equivalent to more than 15 million domestically. If inflation factors are also calculated, 15 million ten years ago was worth more than 20 million today. Ten years ago, 15 million could do that. Things that even 30 million people may not be able to do now. Not much else to say, if you bought a house worth 15 million in a first-tier city ten years ago, you can now earn five or six times the most conservative price. If you are lucky, it is possible to double it ten times.
However, Chen Yang did not finish his words. He continued: "Ten years ago, the media valued this car at 1.5 million euros, but at that time, no one would sell their FXX at this price. This car has been around for several years. There is no transaction record at all in 2018. This kind of car should be sold at auction. I estimate that if the price is three million euros, it will definitely be sold instantly."
"Three million euros? Isn't that more expensive than the LaFerrari just now?" Chai Liang said this with gloating.
Jia Liancheng turned his head sharply, his eyes as if he wanted to kill someone...
