Chapter 141 Ferrari's Blacklist

At the beginning of the cocktail party, Ding Mengyao began to greet guests, even the rich second generation had to make pocket money, let alone the career she liked.

Johnson left, went home and drove Rafa out, heading straight to the racing stadium, and there was a car club and a Ferrari car club at night.

"You are so busy with noble people!" Wang Kuan said helplessly when he saw Johnson Chan: "If it weren't for the Ferrari Car Club today, wouldn't you see your true face?"

Johnson smiled and waved his hand, looking around, what a guy, there were dozens of Ferraris, all kinds of colors and styles, competing for beauty.

Wang Kuan hugged Johnson's shoulder and said as he walked: "Are you awesome? Eighty-eight top-quality Red Devils, the largest event in China this year, many collectors gathered in the capital!"

He whispered: "Don't look at my so-called supercar club, which seems to be quite pretentious? In fact, it's not a big deal in front of the real boss!"

"I will take you to meet Boss Li, Li Wenhui, the father of Ferrari, who once owned 100 Ferraris. In 1993, Ferrari was introduced into China for the first time, and the Ferrari brand began."

"There are also Shan Zhonghui and Wu Hankai, both directors of the Ferrari owners' association, and they are very funny and talkative friends. In just five years, they have been buying Ferrari classic cars all over the world, and now they have 13 units."

"Especially Brother Shan, last year's classic car rally, drove from Beijing to Magic City, and the whole game was 1,500 kilometers. His master Ferrari was very tough and broke several times. He repaired until one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, and drove again at 8 o'clock in the morning. He repaired again and then drove again after repairing..."

"And Uncle Zhou, a loyal fan of old cars and old skills, all the masters in their hands are hand platoons. Every party they yell: hand platoons are the best representative of Ferrari classics and are the most fun to drive!"

When he arrived at the hall, there were many people and bustling. Wang Kuan was also a leader in the capital's supercars. He took Johnson directly into the VIP room and met several legendary collectors.

I heard that Johnson owns Rafa, and everyone has said hello, and they are all knowledgeable people. If you want to buy a Ferrari limited edition, you can have at least five models of different periods. You can't have any sales records at any time, you are purely collecting hobbies, or even obsessed with it.

I sat down and chatted. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and the topic was all around my beloved car. Johnson listened quietly, but he didn't understand it very much. He would lose more words.

"I remember when I was young, I saw a Dino. It was very beautiful and fell in love at first sight." Li Wenhui was full of energy and said casually: "Many people like to ask me: Why do you want to collect Ferrari classic cars?"

"I don't understand. Just like some people like to buy diamonds, houses, and carpets, we like to buy cars. If you can drive a car, you will travel in your beloved car, it's like taking your lover with you. Isn't that romantic?"

Seeing everyone laughing, he continued, "Someone asked me which one I like the most? Don't look at me having more than 100 cars, I really don't know which one is the best!"

"Technology is improving every day, getting faster and faster every year. This is not a matter of speed, but a classic that can represent that era. For example, 40 years ago, parents were very happy to be able to ride a bicycle, but we are happy to drive a Ferrari now. It is just a kind of life."

"Pretending, you show off every time!" Lao Dan said dissatisfiedly, "We can't compete with you. Looking back at the world, begging grandma to take out the old car, that's simply..."

"Many good cars may not appear in the trading market and are often collected by low-key wealthy people. They may be old and cannot drive them anymore. In the end, they want to find a good home for their cars."

"Money is not a problem, I like to check whether you really love Ferrari, rather than buying it for business. Faced with such loyal fans, it is more troublesome than going to school for exams!"

"You still don't understand. Hand-lined cars best represent Ferrari's classics. You will never see them again!"

"You old bachelor don't understand. The 4-seat Mondial  Cabriolet is the most handsome. It is sunny and takes the whole family out for a trip, takes your wife and children, and drives a lover. That's what it means to enjoy..."

Seeing everyone quarreling, Johnson suddenly realized: the engine roared, the tires roared, and the handsome celebrity rider paired with a hot car model. These are just the side of the media hype about luxury brands.

Facing these obsessed with collecting, I suddenly realized that the other side of luxury brands is still the most real life. Many businessmen who have successful careers but remain romantic, insist on traditional scheming, good fathers who love sports cars and home, and struggle young people who never forget their childhood dreams...

The reason why classics can be renewed forever is because these people insist on loving them and work hard for them without fearing the years. This is the soul of supercars!

Among these people, Wang Kuan is the youngest. Seeing his seniors showing off, he couldn't help but whisper: "I always speak without any pain in my back. Think about Paul Bailey, if he can be blacklisted by Ferrari, that's awesome!"

Johnson was stunned. Is there such a person?

"The British Telecom boss has more than 60 super sports cars. Logically speaking, this kind of rich man is definitely licked by all luxury car brands, right?"

"But it was because this big guy provided the SCD club to test the three great cars, but he actually completed the first three great cars speed test video of the world without Ferrari, Porsche, and McLaren staff. This violated Ferrari's bad luck and directly announced that it was strictly prohibited to sell any new car for life."

"It's not only him, but Preston, the old man not only has a world-famous Ferrari collection in Florida, but also became famous for his lawsuit against Ferrari."

"In 2016, I sent a check of 10 million US dollars to the owner of Ferrari as a deposit, but the check was finally returned. Not only did the check be returned, but it was also announced that the old man was not qualified to buy Ferrari."

"The official statement is: many cars owned by the other party are auctioned and purchased with second-hand. It is very likely that they are investment behaviors. They want to make profits again, but in the end they die, they are unable to buy the convertible version of Rafa..."

After saying that, he stared at Johnson and said viciously: "Do you understand? I have obtained Rafa for several lifetimes. You must cherish it!"

Johnson was speechless. What a good guy, was he actually threatened by attending a car club?

When Wang Kuan saw others talking nonsense, he looked very upset. As the host, he couldn't even get into words?

"These people are all verbal styles, and know who I admire the most?"

"Philbachman, a GM dealer, has 37 Ferraris parked in their backyard, one per year on average!"

"The most awesome thing is not the quantity. His collection has two major characteristics: the first must be the last one in the series, and the second must be the yellow body. The former is a hard condition. Phil only buys the last one in each series. If the number is not the largest, he won't even give it away for free."

"I once had the honor of visiting the big guy's garage once... It was so... I looked yellow, and the warehouse shelves were filled with various parts. I spent all day studying technology. In order to get the best maintenance of my car, I even took a plane to the factory in person, just to bring back one part."

"The last Rafa appeared in Lexington, Kentucky, and the headquarters specially held a grand ceremony for it. The last flagship sports car with a yellow body, do you think Phil is the most awesome?"

Johnson gave the thumbs up and convinced him that he deserved the last yellow Rafa!

Suddenly I remembered a saying in the TV series: Can you really do whatever you want if you have money?

Don’t say it, it’s not necessarily true!
Chapter completed!
