Chapter 1278 A Car Caused a Commotion

Sports cars are not rare, and hardtops are even less attractive, at least not as cool as convertibles.

But antique sports cars are different.

Over the past year or so, Shi Lei has gained a lot of knowledge about these things. He can tell at a glance that this sports car still maintains the style of the 1920s and 1930s. The gray-green color and strange streamlined body have already attracted the attention of many people.

Although Shi Lei has a lot of knowledge about this kind of thing, he is not a senior car fan and cannot recognize the brand of this car from the side.

Speaking of which, Shi Lei does not have any special hobbies for cars, but when he sees such a car, he still wants to take a good look.

The front of this car is like all cars produced in the 1920s and 1930s, with a front engine. The engine of that era almost occupies two-thirds of the body. Excluding its streamlined shape, there is actually no essential difference from the front of the truck of that era.

At the back was a car that looked a bit like Ultraman's head, especially with a protrusion in the middle that looked like a shark's dorsal fin, which made Shi Lei think of the thing on Ultraman's head.

He looked at it from the back and didn't see anything. When he walked to the front, Shi Lei found that it was actually a Bugatti.

Even though he didn't have a special hobby for cars, he couldn't help but fall in love with this car.

The key is that it is really cool. When such a car is driving on the road, the rate of turning heads is absolutely 100%, and Shi Lei can guarantee that no matter men, women, old or young, will choose to stop and watch because of the passing of this car.

Sitting in the car is the meat mountain himself.

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

From these words, Shi Lei turned on his mobile phone and checked the Internet, and then he knew that this car was a Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, produced in 1936, and a total of three were produced. Now there are only two left in the world.

One of them was bought by the Mullin Automobile Museum in California for 30 million US dollars, and is now treasured in the Mullin Automobile Museum in California.

This is already the highest auction in the history of automobile auctions. The highest price before it was only 15 million US dollars, only half of this Bugatti.

The other one was sold a little earlier than this one. The buyer was very mysterious and did not reveal any private information at all. Moreover, because it was not an open auction, there was no way to investigate it.

What is even more surprising is that the price of that one is said to be higher than this one, between 30 and 40 million US dollars. No one knows the specific amount.

Now, a Bugatti of this type appeared in front of Shi Lei. There is no doubt that this cannot be the one collected in California, so it belongs to the mysterious collector.

Even though Shi Lei just searched the information on the Internet, it was enough to shock Shi Lei.

This car, more than 200 million RMB?

Under the envious eyes of more and more onlookers, Shi Lei sat in the co-pilot.

Originally, the meat mountain wanted him to drive the car himself and experience the car, but communication was inconvenient, and Shi Lei found that this car was different from the cars he had driven before. He was really worried that he would accidentally hit the car or something. If he did anything, he would probably have to pay millions of dollars in compensation, which always made people feel a little bit painful.

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

In this regard, Shi Lei couldn't help but shake his head slightly. This guy is a psychopath. Shouldn't this kind of car be placed on the exhibition stand for everyone to appreciate? This guy actually drove it on the road. It's really a show-off.

Shi Lei didn't know that the fat man had bought this car for seven years. Although it had been placed 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 the fat man drive it out and drive around his winery. This was the first time he really drove it on the road.

After the fat man 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 the fat man even more grateful and he wanted to swear brotherhood with Shi Lei directly.

He felt that he had to use the most solemn etiquette to invite Shi Lei. Although he had great power, he didn't have time to make any grand arrangements in such a short time.

So he set his sights on this car.

Using a car worth 30 million US dollars to welcome Shi Lei, this should be grand enough, right? I believe that all the people along the way will use their eyes and expressions to make footnotes for his welcoming of Shi Lei.

I have to say that this guy did it.

At the beginning, he left the hotel with just one car.

But later, as they drove on, some guys who were fascinated by the car actually gave up their original itinerary and followed the car to the northern suburbs, just to take a few more photos or videos, and to see the car a few more times.

When Shi Lei and Fatty arrived at the winery, there was already a convoy of 30 or 40 cars behind them.

Fortunately, the fat man's winery is large enough, and there are security guards outside. They dutifully stopped the cars that followed him outside the winery.

However, the news has spread online, and some sharp-eyed people even recognized Shi Lei from the photos and videos taken by those people.

So, a rumor began to spread online that the car had changed its new owner, and its new owner was Shi Lei, a wealthy man who had recently risen in China, the founder of Qixuan Bicycle - Shi Lei.

This news quickly spread to China, and those who regarded Shi Lei as the national husband spread it crazily, which actually led to the number of downloads of Qixuan Bicycle APP increasing by hundreds of thousands in a very short period of time.

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

Even the news that Qixuan UK was about to expand to the two markets of France and Germany that broke out in the media not long ago was dug up and reviewed again. Many media said with certainty that this was an alternative promotion of Qixuan UK by the founder of Qixuan.

But no matter what, although Qixuan UK has not yet opened the French and German markets, it has already had more than 50,000 downloads in these two countries.

You know, this is an English APP, there is no French and German version, but it can be downloaded so much.

Shi Lei didn't know about this. He just got off the car that caused an uproar, and a beautiful woman immediately came up to him and acted as a translator between Shi Lei and the fat man.

Shi Lei then learned that the fat man's name was Andre Menguta. He was not French, but Haitian, but he was one of the 10% of Haitians who used French.

Shi Lei was surprised before, a rich second generation French, went to see the Eiffel Tower for no reason, shouldn't he have been used to seeing it since he was a child?

Since he is not French, it can be explained. However, a guy who can afford a car worth 30 million US dollars actually climbed the tower by himself without even a bodyguard. This is a bit bold.

Fatty Andre took out a bottle of red wine and said, "Mouton, 1945."

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