The Black Card - Chapter 1280

[Chapter 1278 The uproar caused by a car]

cars are nothing new, but the hardtop is a little less attractive, at least not as cool as the convertible.

But antique sports cars are different.

Over the past year or so, Shi Lei has gained a lot of understanding of these things. He can tell almost at a glance that this sports car still maintains the style of the 1920s and 1930s, with a gray-green body and a strange streamlined body. Attracted the attention of many people.

Although Shi Lei knew a lot about this kind of thing, he was not a senior car fan and could not recognize the brand of this car at a glance from the side.

Speaking of which, Shi Lei didn’t have any special hobby for cars, but when he saw such a car, he still wanted to take a good look at it.

The front of this car, like all cars produced in the 1920s and 1930s, has a front-mounted engine.

The engine of that era occupied almost two-thirds of the body. Excluding its streamlined shape, there was actually no essential difference from the front of the truck of that era.

Behind it was a carriage that looked a bit like Ultraman’s head, especially with a bulge in the middle that looked like a shark’s dorsal fin, which made Shi Lei intuitively think of the thing on Ultraman’s head.

Looking from behind, he didn’t see anything. When he walked to the front, Shi Lei realized that it was actually a Bugatti.

Even though he had no special affinity for cars, he couldn’t help but fall in love with this car.

The key is that it’s really eye-catching. When a car like this is driven on the road, the turnaround rate is absolutely 100%, and Shi Lei can guarantee that everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, will choose to stop and watch because of this car passing by.

Sitting in the car was none other than Roshan himself.

He grinned, got out of the car, and uttered a few rare English words.

From these few words, Shi Lei opened his mobile phone and checked the Internet, only to find out that this car was a Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, produced in 1936. A total of three cars were produced, and now there are only two left in the world.

One of them was auctioned by the Mullin Automobile Museum in California for US$30 million. It is now of course kept in the Mullin Automobile Museum in California.

This is already the highest auction in the history of car auctions. The previous highest transaction price was only 15 million US dollars, only half of this Bugatti.

The other car was sold slightly earlier than this one. The buyer was very mysterious and did not reveal any private information at all. And because it was not a public auction, there was no way to investigate it.

What’s even more surprising is that the transaction price of that car is said to be higher than this one, between US$3,000 and US$40 million. No one knows the specific amount.

Now, a Bugatti like this appeared in front of Shi Lei. There was no doubt that this couldn’t be the one collected in California, so it belonged to that mysterious collector.

Even though Shi Lei just found the information from the Internet, it was enough to shock him.

This car costs more than 200 million soft girl coins?

Under the envious gazes of more and more onlookers, Shi Lei sat on the passenger seat.

Originally, Roshan wanted him to drive the car himself and feel the car, but firstly, communication was inconvenient. Secondly, Shi Lei found that this car was different from the cars he had driven in many places. He was really worried that he would not be able to drive it. If you accidentally hit this car or something, you would probably have to pay millions of dollars in compensation, which always makes people feel a little bit pained.

The car drove towards the suburbs in the north of Paris. Along the way, it was just as Shi Lei expected. The cars on the road wanted to stop and look at the car. Shi Lei was finally able to understand what it felt like to be a superstar walking on the road.

In response to this, Shi Lei couldn’t help but shook his head slightly. This is so crazy. Shouldn’t this kind of car be put on the exhibition stand for everyone to appreciate?

This guy actually drove it on the road, which is really a big deal.

Shi Lei didn’t know that it had been seven years since the fat man bought this car. Although it had been kept in the northern suburbs of Paris, it had indeed been placed in a warehouse specially built for this car over the years.

Only occasionally would Fatty drive it out, wander around his winery, and actually hit the road. This was the first time.

After Fatty returned to the winery, he thought that Shi Lei had saved his life, and this was because he almost caused Shi Lei to lose his life. This made Fatty even more grateful to the point where he wanted to marry Shi Lei directly. .

He felt that he had to use the most solemn etiquette to invite Shi Lei. Although he had a lot of energy, there was no time to make any too grand arrangements in such a short time.

Ever since, he set his sights on this car.

Using a car worth thirty million US dollars to greet Shi Lei should be grand enough, right?

I believe that everyone along the way will use their eyes and expressions to mark his welcome to Shi Lei.

I have to say, this guy did it.

At first, he left the hotel alone in a car.

But later, as we drove on, some guys who were obsessed with cars actually gave up their original itinerary and followed the car to the northern suburbs, just to take a few more photos or videos, and for themselves. I was able to take a few more looks at this car.

When Shi Lei and Fatty arrived at the winery, there was already a convoy of thirty or forty cars hanging behind them.

Fortunately, Fatty’s winery was large enough, and there were security personnel guarding the outside. They conscientiously blocked the cars that followed them outside the winery.

However, word had spread on the Internet, and some sharp-eyed people even recognized Shi Lei from the photos and videos taken by those people.

Ever since, a theory began to spread on the Internet, that is, this car has changed its new owner, and its new owner is none other than Shi Lei, a wealthy man who has recently risen in China, the founder of Qixuan Bicycle – Shi Lei .

This news quickly spread to the country, and those who regarded Shi Lei as the husband of the nation went viral. This actually led to hundreds of thousands more downloads of the Qixuan Cycling APP in a very short period of time.

In the UK, because many people believed that Shi Lei bought the car, Qixuan UK APP downloads also increased by more than 100,000.

Even the media recently broke the news that Qixuan UK will soon expand to France and Germany. The news was reviewed again. Many media said with certainty that this was the founder of Qixuan’s response to Qixuan. An alternative propaganda to promote Britain.

But no matter what, although the French and German markets of Qixuan UK have not yet been opened, there have been more than 50,000 downloads in these two countries.

You know, this is an English APP. There is no French or German version, but it has been downloaded so much.

Shi Lei didn’t know about this. He just stepped out of the car that caused the uproar, and a beautiful woman immediately came up to him, acting as the translator between Shi Lei and the fat man.

Only then did Shi Lei learn that the fat man’s name was Andre Mengouta. He was not French, but Haitian. However, he was one of the 10% of the population in Haiti who spoke French.

Before, Shi Lei was surprised that a rich second-generation French man would go see the Eiffel Tower without any trouble. Shouldn’t that be what he has been used to seeing since he was a child?

Since he is not French, it can be explained.

However, it is a bit arrogant for someone who can afford a car worth 30 million US dollars to climb an iron tower without even a bodyguard.

Fat Andre took out a bottle of red wine and said, “Mouton, 1945.”

1945 was one of the best years in the history of Chateau Mouton.
