On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the business of the SugarClub Worker's and Sports Store was extremely booming.
The parking spaces at the entrance are all full, but even so, there are still many guests whose cars cannot find parking spaces and can only park far away.
In the cold winter night, the entrance of Sugar Club was crowded with people watching the show. No one had ever seen such a spectacular scene before. Among the hundreds of cars parked at the entrance of Sugar Club, at least 80% of them were extremely rare. luxury sports car.
Among these luxury sports cars are Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi and Nissan GTR. In addition to these luxury sports cars, there are also many super luxury cars, such as Rolls-Royce and Bentley. .
With such a spectacular scene, all the passing citizens stopped to watch, and some even took out their cameras to take photos with these sports cars.
No one knows why this bar called Sugar Club is able to attract so many super luxury cars. Compared with it, the cars parked in front of other bars nearby immediately eclipse them. Those BMWs, BMWs, etc. that used to look blinking. Audi and Mercedes-Benz are now looking particularly shabby compared with these super luxury cars.
Attentive citizens soon discovered that a line of red lighted annotations was added to the neon sign of Sugar Club: CSC Club Member Store.
On both sides of the gate, there are two billboards with an introduction to the CSC club.
CSC Club, the full name is China-Supercar-Club, was jointly established by Li Mu, founder of Makino Technology, Chen Ze, chairman of Yanjing Jinshun International Co., Ltd., and Cai Zhengmao, chairman of Jinshi Zhengmao Import and Export Trading Company. Some people don’t know much about Chen Ze, Cai Zhengmao, Yanjing Jinshun International and Jinshi Zhengmao Import and Export, and don’t know where they come from. However, Li Mu’s reputation is really big. The domestic urban population Among them, people who don’t know Li Mu are probably very rare.
When the citizens found out that this was a club run by Li Mu, they immediately looked at the club with admiration. If the founder of this club was the son of a certain rich man, everyone would think that it was a degenerate concentration camp where dandies gathered, but Li Mu's image is too positive. Not only is he full of positive energy, but he also has extremely upright views in the eyes of the public, so everyone has developed a kind of thinking inertia: anything Li Mu does must be a good thing with positive meaning.
At this moment, the Sugar Club was already overcrowded. Neither Li Mu nor Chen Ze expected that the official promotion of CSC Club in the circle had just been launched two days ago, and today, for the first CSC Club Salon, more than 300 people came at one go. , each of these people is worth more than tens of millions, and is qualified, or is about to be qualified, to join the CSC club.
At this moment, these people were drinking and chatting in small groups. Fatty Wang turned Sugar Club into a high-end cocktail party. Due to the very orderly management and control, there were hundreds of people inside without making it noisy at all.
The salon hadn't officially started yet. Chen Ze was sitting alone in the manager's office and looking at the time on his watch. Li Mu said he could come over at half past eight, and it was already eight o'clock.
Chen Ze, who was a little impatient, called Cai Zhengmao and asked him: "Zhengmao, has Li Mu gone to your place to pick up the car?"
"Not yet." Cai Zhengmao said: "Before the meeting, he told me to contact me soon, but I haven't heard from him yet."
With that said, Cai Zhengmao said, "Why don't you call him and ask?"
Chen Ze sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, he's busy with business and it's useless for me to urge him."
Cai Zhengmao is currently waiting for Li Mu in the garage of his automobile trading company. Unlike other garages, the garage he is in is specially for his own use. Eight cars can be easily parked in it. Originally, Cai Zhengmao's own cars can fill this garage completely, but now there are only one of his red Ferrari F50s in this garage, and a sports car that is tightly covered by a black car cover.
Since most of the business of the automobile trading company has been moved to the racing track, Cai Zhengmao's own luxury cars have basically been transported to Shunyi District to support the racing track and the club, so he only left one red car in the urban area. Ferrari F50, this is one of the cars he often drives recently. The sports car tightly wrapped in black cloth is the Ferrari Enzo that Cai Zhengmao gave to Li Mu.
This is the most coveted model for Ferrari owners and enthusiasts around the world. Even Cai Zhengmao himself is obsessed with it. After the vehicle arrived at the port for customs clearance, Cai Zhengmao personally inspected the car in great detail and confirmed that the vehicle was in good condition. Not even a tiny scratch, not even a burr on the tire.
However, even though Cai Zhengmao is crazy about this new car, he has not driven even one kilometer since the car entered Hong Kong and cleared customs.
The reason is simple. This car was given to Li Mu.
Just because the car is going to be given to Li Mu, Cai Zhengmao doesn't want to get involved in it in advance just for fun. People like Cai Zhengmao who love cars know very well how car owners feel about their cars. Sometimes it hurts if the factory odometer number of a new car is too high. What's more, before he drove it, someone else had sat in it and driven it. Therefore, after picking up the car, Cai Zhengmao did not perform any driving operations on the car except for personally inspecting the entire car.
The vehicle has been directly registered in Li Mu's name. Cai Zhengmao had originally planned to hand over the car to Li Mu, but Li Mu had rarely been in Yanjing some time ago, so the car had been parked in Cai Zhengmao's garage.
Li Mu didn't want to mention this Ferrari in such a hurry. On the one hand, he had never driven a real sports car so far and had no experience. On the other hand, he really wasn't interested in sports cars, so he didn't take it to heart.
But Chen Ze repeatedly persuaded him, hoping that he would try his best to drive a sports car to the venue today. After all, he is the founder of the super sports car club. This is the first salon gathering. If even the founder himself does not drive a sports car, then the club will be more convincing. Discounted.
Li Mu thought about it carefully. Everyone drove sports cars, so it was really not cool to drive an off-road vehicle by himself, so he could only make an appointment with Cai Zhengmao to pick up the car from him after the meeting.
The meeting at Taobao Technology was somewhat longer than expected, because Li Mu was sorting out with Senior Brother Liu, Master Lei and other core backbones the future capacity allocation of Taobao Logistics, as well as the entire Taobao network's emergency plan in extraordinary times.
Although none of the people attending the meeting had experienced an epidemic with huge impact like SARS, under the influence of Li Mu, they were able to estimate how much panic a nationwide epidemic would cause. In view of the online transactions on Taobao Everyone is clearly aware that once what Li Mu predicted comes true, the cooperation of Taobao and Taobao Logistics, coupled with the reserves of epidemic materials, will definitely provide strong stability to society and will also provide The panicked people got a shot in the arm.
Therefore, in this meeting, everyone went all out to make various preparations for this special war that had not yet come.
It was already 8:10 when Li Mu left Taobao, and it was already 8:30 when he rushed to Cai Zhengmao's company.
Li Mu called Chen Ze and told him that he had been delayed due to work. While expressing his apology to him, he also hoped that he would convey his apology to everyone at Sugar Club at this moment. Although Chen Ze had already felt I was madly anxious, but on the phone I kept telling Li Mu not to be anxious, and telling him not to be anxious either.
Although everyone in the audience was waiting for Li Mu, and Cai Zhengmao was anxious because of Chen Ze's phone calls one after another, Chen Ze did not convey this anxious emotion to Li Mu.
…
The moment Cai Zhengmao lifted the hood of the Enzo, even Li Mu, who was not very fond of sports cars, could not help but feel his heart beat faster.
Even if you look at this Ferrari Enzo based on Li Mu's pre-rebirth aesthetics, you won't feel that it is old-fashioned at all. Every line of the car body shows unparalleled industrial beauty, and the air intake is as exaggerated as the F1 formula and is like a beast. The classic Ferrari red color makes people see it and immediately imagine the surging engine sound in their minds, as well as the sound of tearing the air when driving rapidly.
Cai Zhengmao introduced to Li Mu with awe: "This car is powered by a 6-liter V12 engine with 660 horsepower and 657 torque. The transmission uses the sequential transmission used in the F1 formula. The four wheels are equipped with carbon fiber ceramic brakes. The entire vehicle uses a large amount of carbon fiber, so the curb weight is only 1.3 tons. However, while being lightweight, it also uses excellent aerodynamic design to ensure that the vehicle has sufficient downforce and stability during rapid driving. The driving method is With a mid-mounted rear drive, the vehicle is very extreme and can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in just over three seconds. It is an absolute beast!”
Li Mu praised: "It is simply a perfect work of art. To be honest, when I saw the actual car, I was reluctant to drive it..."
Cai Zhengmao patted Li Mu on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Li, don't worry about this. No matter how good the car is, it is driven by others, just like how beautiful a woman should sleep with a man."
With that said, Cai Zhengmao said seriously: "But to be honest, it's best not to drive this kind of car too frequently, and you should also take good care of it, because this thing will definitely hit one less car in the future, and the longer it goes, the more time it takes." The longer it grows, the more precious it becomes.”
Li Mu nodded: "That's true. I heard there are only four hundred vehicles in total?"
Cai Zhengmao shook his finger: "399, one of which was given to God."
Li Mu asked subconsciously: "Bumped?"
Cai Zhengmao smiled and said: "That's not true. I gave it to the Pope. Giving it to him is equivalent to giving it to God."
With that said, Cai Zhengmao added: "Ferrari is very reliable in doing things. A limited edition is a limited edition, and it is limited to as much as it says. So this guy started subtracting from 399, and there will definitely be fewer and fewer in the future."
Li Mu nodded and said, "This car is definitely not suitable for daily driving. Let's just leave it on the track from now on."
Cai Zhengmao smiled and said: "I also have the same suggestion. This kind of car must be played on the track to truly experience the essence of it. It should wait for the starting signal in front of the starting line of the track, rather than at the zebra crossing with the Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen Xiali Wait for the red light, and my supercar maintenance and repair center will soon be moved to the racing track. By then, this car will be taken good care of for you, so that it will still look good when you drive it 20 years later. .”
