Chapter 731 The buyer who raised the price

The scenery in the distance is as beautiful as an oil painting. The men and women sitting on the fence are holding each other's waist and shoulders, with their backs to the road, admiring the scenery. A bottle of Coke is placed beside the man.

From the back view, it is not difficult to see that the two people are in their early twenties. The man is wearing an old-fashioned leather jacket, while the woman is wearing a loose denim jacket. The two exude a sense of freedom .

Wu Qian drove the Bugatti off the road to the side of the road.

Even if you drive gently, Bugatti's "big voice" will not be too quiet, and young men and women notice it immediately.

When the man looked back to the source of the sound, he saw an Asian man in a suit getting out of the car, and then waved to them.

"Hey bro, is this your car? Oh my god, it's just... is this a work of art?"

The man also greeted Wu Qian, and then chatted with him very naturally, and jumped over the fence.

The girl in denim also turned her head, whether it was the person who walked up to her or the car parked not far away, she was amazed.

The country aunt Liang knew at a glance that this was a top wealthy young man from the metropolis.

When he got closer, Wu Qian could see clearly the man and woman. Neither of them was very handsome. They were ordinary young men, full of vigor and vigor.

Wu Qian nodded, walked to the man's impala, smiled and said: "Yes, that car is mine, is this car yours?"

The man scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Brother, this car is older than my father, it was left by my grandfather for my father, but my father left the car in the warehouse and never opened it. , I refurbished the car and used it for the time being, and he didn't care about me."

What the man said contained some American culture. Wu Qian didn't care about those details. His attention had already been attracted by the car in front of him. He couldn't say he knew the impala in front of him very well, but he could be sure that this The car should be an impala from the 60s of the last century.

The black impala with three doors and three seats has only one row of seats, but it is a big sofa, and the shelf of the convertible soft top is empty. It can be seen that the soft top has been removed, but the paint finish of the body is very good, and it may have been preserved for a long time. The garage reason, although faded, has no bumps and is naturally aged.

A certain degree of wear and tear can be seen on the steering wheel, which is the driving marks left by the owners. The wheels and tires are the most dazzling parts of this car. The shiny chrome-plated wheels look like new ones. Relatively new, probably no more than two months old.

It is not easy for a 60-year-old "senior" convertible to be kept in museums and other places for daily maintenance.

Wu Qian knew the Impala model from a rice drama that has been on the air for more than ten years. One of the "protagonists" in "Evil Power", Wen Jiashuangsha drove a 1967 version The five impalas slay demons and demons all over the United States.

Seeing the classic front shape of the car in front of him, Wu Qian felt as if he had traveled to a TV series.

chug chug...

When Wu Qian was chatting with the young man, a helicopter flew over in the sky.

"Which impala is this?" Wu Qian asked, not paying attention to the Airbus H215 flying across the sky.

The man patted the hood and said, "This was produced by Chevrolet in 1960. I don't know the specific parameters of the engine. I'm afraid I need to ask my father."

Wu Qian waved his hand, indicating that it doesn't matter, and then asked: "May I ask, can I drive this car?"

Wu Qian’s eyes were always looking at the impala, while the eyes of the man in the leather coat were always looking at the Bugatti. Hearing that Wu Qian wanted to drive his car, the man was very happy, because his belongings were appreciated, which was a very pleasant thing matter.

He took advantage of the situation and said, "Oh, buddy, of course there is no problem, but I...I also want to ride in your Bugatti, can I?"

Wu Qian readily agreed and said, "No problem, that car starts with voice control, and I'll start it for you."

After all, Wu Qian walked towards Bugatti.

The man hurriedly stopped him, saying that he would just sit and feel it, there is absolutely no need to start it...

The man didn’t even know what model Wu Qian’s Bugatti was, but he knew Bugatti. He knew that without special guidance, he might not be able to drive a super sports car. He didn’t dare to drive it lightly. His dad will kill him (lose money).

Wu Qian shrugged without insisting, then opened the door of the impala and sat in the driver's seat.

Blue sky, sunshine, endless plains, wide roads, a classic convertible, all together!

Wu Qian adjusted the seat, and the moment he held the steering wheel, he suddenly regained the excitement of going to the Aston Martin 4S store for the first time to test drive the DB11. This feeling is so rare.

He turned the key to start the ignition, and suddenly sang:

“Carry on my wayward son”

Hold on, my unruly child
"There'll be peace when you are done"

You'll have peace when it's all over
“Lay your weary head to rest”

You can let your tired body and mind go to rest
"Don't you cry no more"

don't cry anymore
The girl who climbed over the fence was attracted by Wu Qian's singing, and smiled excitedly: ""Carry On Wayward Son" (recommended), handsome guy, are you also a fan of "Evil Power"?"

This song is a song recorded by the old American rock band Kansas in 1976. "Evil Power" uses this song as the theme song at the end of each season, and it has a very high popularity.

Wu Qian noticed that the girl next to the car looked at him with little stars in her eyes, and nodded with a smile. Without giving the girl a chance to continue talking, she reversed the car and drove the impala onto the road.

He didn't want his appearance to cause unnecessary thoughts in the girl's mind and affect the relationship between the young couple.

Seeing that the other party didn't give her a chance to speak at all, the girl was indeed a little disappointed.

Which Cinderella does not aspire to be a princess, but she has a better mentality and knows that this road to transformation is not so easy. After making an exaggerated expression and body language, she walked to Bugatti and admired it with her boyfriend "artwork".

Wu Qian was driving an impala convertible, with a breeze blowing over his head, and the temperature was neither dry nor cold. On the empty road, he could not see the taillights of the car ahead, and the headlights of the car could not be seen in the rearview mirror. It is an open plain, this feeling is absolutely amazing.

When Wu Qian drove over a small slope, a phantom of Yanxinlan came oncoming.

In the phantom, Kux glanced at the impala that suddenly appeared, and suddenly found that it was his boss who was driving a classic car for a ride, and the boss waved at him mischievously, which frightened him.

The bulky Phantom turned its head 66 degrees on Route 180, its special tires left dark "donuts" on the road, and then followed the impala.

chug.

The helicopter circled back above the Bugatti from a distance.

At first Bauer thought that the boss was just stopping to ask for directions, but he didn't care. He slowly flew along the road for a few kilometers, but he didn't see Bugatti catching up. He came back again, but he was surprised to find in the air that a man and a woman were The boss's car is studying something, and his boss seems to have disappeared.

"Oh my god, where's the boss?!"

Bauer broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly landed.

The helicopter flew overhead, and the young men and women didn't pay attention, but when the helicopter landed not far away, it was impossible not to pay attention. The gust of wind rolled up the fine sand beside the road, making people have to raise their hands to cover their eyes.

While the young men and women were staring blankly at the helicopter, the hatch opened, and a dozen people came out in a file, approaching the two of them quickly.

"Oh, oh, what are you doing, oh, it hurts, let go."

The man did not expect that a group of strong men who got off the helicopter directly controlled him and his girlfriend without any explanation.

Bauer leaned down and took a look inside the Bugatti, and asked the man with a serious face, "Where is the owner of this car?"

The man struggled hard, but he held his arm still. He frowned and said, "The owner of this car took my car for a ride. Who are you? Let go of Brolly and me."

Ball felt dizzy for a while, and he felt that he might have misunderstood something.

Just as he waved his hand to release the two and prepared to contact Kux, Wu Qian, who was driving an impala, came back.

"Bauer, don't mess around!"

Wu Qian saw from a distance that there seemed to be friction here, he yelled and stepped on the gas pedal and rushed over, the poor impala roared overwhelmed.

The vehicle came to a stop, followed by Phantom, who also stopped by the side of the road.

Wu Qian jumped out of the car, walked to the middle of a group of people including the man Baoer, and said, "I don't think you flew away, why did you come back again?"

Ball touched his face depressedly, and faltered about what happened in the past few minutes.

Wu Qian saw the young man's face full of anger, and the girl seemed to be terrified behind the man, he said: "Baoer, I borrowed someone's car to go for a ride, you do it without asking about the situation." , It’s too rude, please apologize to them.”

Bauer and the spades team also knew that they were a little reckless, and they all bowed down to apologize.

Kux leaned on the phantom with his arms folded and watched the fun with a smile, very happy.

A never-before-seen dream supercar, a custom-made Rolls-Royce Phantom with a special color, and a luxury helicopter exclusive to the top rich.

The men and girls had only seen such scenes on TV before, but they did not expect that today they would personally experience and see the ostentation of big shots traveling.

Although there was a bit of unpleasantness before, the other party did not have any malice, and a little misunderstanding was eliminated.

Wu Qian said to the two: "My people have caused trouble to you, I'm really sorry, oh, let's talk about your impala, I drove a few kilometers just now, and I think this car is simply amazing, I think... …Can you sell me this car.”

If he hadn't come across this car, Wu Qian would have gone to the city to buy a convertible, but ever since he encountered this convertible impala, he had completely lost his resistance.

The man was at a loss when he heard Wu Qian's words. As he said before, the car belonged to his father, and he had no right to decide whether to buy or sell it. At the same time, he also didn't understand what these big shots were thinking. It was obviously a Bugatti like a work of art. Why would you want to buy his old car that shakes all over at a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour?

"Sir..." Since Bauer and some other people appeared, the man's address to Wu Qian also changed. He said, "This car... this car, I'm afraid I need to ask my father."

Wu Qian raised his hand with a smile, and said with a smile, "Say hello to your father for me, and at the same time, ask him to offer you a price he is satisfied with."

The man nodded, took out his mobile phone and walked aside to communicate with his father. After a while, he returned to Wu Qian and said.

"My stubborn old man agreed with me to sell the car, but, he said at least [-]."

This will be in the United States. Of course, one hundred thousand refers to US dollars.

If you buy a new car at this price in the United States, you can buy a low-end version of the Porsche 911, or a top-end Mustang Shelby. blackmail.

Unexpectedly, when Wu Qian heard the price, he laughed and said, "Dude, your father is a real man, but I won't take advantage of you and your father. I will pay 50 US dollars for this impala." , As for the remaining procedures, how about letting the guy who twisted your arm just accompany you to go through it?"

Wu Qian could see that the young man might not know much about the market of classic cars, but he did.

The young men and women were stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment. It was always the buyer who countered the price, so how could the buyer raise the price himself?

"No, no, sir, this car is no different from those $[-] second-hand cars in town. My father probably missed my grandfather and was reluctant to sell it, so he asked for a hundred thousand, but..."

Wu Qian raised his hand to stop the other party's words, he said: "It appeared when I wanted a convertible the most, and made me experience the feeling I had been longing for for a long time. Its appearance fulfilled my dream, 50 yuan , please don’t say no, this is the price I pay for my dream.”

"In addition, let me tell you a piece of news. If you are willing to work hard on this car, maintain it more meticulously, polish it more glamorously, and transport it to Pebble Beach for auction, it will fetch at least $[-]. That was the market price three years ago. You Dad’s asking price is not exaggerated at all.”

Wu Qian pays attention to Pebble Beach's annual transaction list. He has developed this habit since he fell in love with cars. He couldn't afford them before, but it doesn't hinder his attention.

"If you agree, I will drive the car away and let him accompany you to go through the formalities."

Wu Qian beckoned to David while speaking, took the checkbook provided by Moge Chase, signed a check for $50, and handed it to the man.

The young teenager feels that life is really a box of chocolates, and every day is like chocolates with different flavors. He never expected that the chocolate that he took out of the box today is so sweet, it is so sweet.

50 US dollars, his father's farm can earn so much in ten years, is this any different from pie in the sky?

The man took the check with a stiff expression, and used the relevant knowledge he had learned to simply identify it. Knowing that there was nothing wrong with the check in his hand, he nodded with a little puzzlement.

Of course he couldn't understand Wu Qian's thoughts. There was too much difference in level between the two of them. Not to mention anything else, Wu Qian's moment of anticipation and excitement while sitting on the impala was worth 50 yuan. Dollars, because it's so hard, so hard to find that feeling these days.

What's more, that kind of comfortable mood will accompany Wu Qian all the way to Kansas City.
