Chapter 776 Lin Yu’s scooter - Less-Royce!

Prince Adula then took the two of them and sent them to the yard. Someone drove Dudley's seat over, but followed behind him with a silver-white Rolls-Royce.

Lin Yu took a slight breath, and even Dudley, who was standing beside him, changed color a little. As for Yang Zhigang standing behind, he even paused his breathing.

"Lin, my friend, this car will be used for you for transportation. With it, I believe you will spend a better holiday in Jeddah." Prince Abdullah said with a bit of pride. There are still many things in this world that you can't buy with money. He is very happy to see the surprise of everyone. The annual production of the Rolls-Royce in the UK is only a few thousand vehicles, and it is not enough for the monthly production of several major automobile companies in the world. But the Rolls-Royce is the most expensive car in the world and a car that symbolizes its master status. Once upon a time, Rolls-Royce was almost equivalent to the power and honor of the British Empire. The most unique thing about Rolls-Royce is that from its birth to the present. Even other automobile companies in the world have generally used robots to work on assembly lines, and it still uses a lot of manual labor.

If cars are classified in this world, then Rolls-Royce is undoubtedly the king of cars.

Rolls-Royce is the only symbol of the grace and nobility of the automobile kingdom. No matter how old the Rolls-Royce is or how expensive it is, there are still no challengers.

In 1906, Rolls-Royce was officially established in the UK. The silverghost sedan launched the following year was soon hailed as "the best car in the world".

The founders of Rolls-Royce were Charlie Rolls and Henry Rice. Their origins, hobbies and personalities were completely different, but their persistence and yearning for the automotive industry made them an excellent partner. Rolls suffered an air crash on July 12, 1910, and Royce died on April 22, 1933.

Compared with its competitors, the original Rolls-Royce has two major characteristics: simple manufacturing technology and extremely low noise when driving. These two advantages quickly became the classic of Rolls-Royce. The first true legendary work, "Silver Devil", was born in 1906, and it first appeared at the Paris Motor Expo. Its golden clock top radiator is very eye-catching, and this shape is still an irreplaceable design element of Rolls-Royce. In addition to its unique appearance, the silverghost also has technology ahead of the times: forced lubrication, and the 7-liter six-cylinder engine can output power up to 48 horsepower. The maximum speed is 110km/h, which was definitely a world record at that time.

The most unique thing about Rolls-Royce is that it uses a lot of manual labor. In the UK, where labor costs are quite high, this will inevitably lead to high production costs, which is one of the reasons why Rolls-Royce's amazing price. To this day, Rolls-Royce's engine is completely made by hand. What's more amazing is that the grille of the front radiator of the Rolls-Royce is completely done by skilled workers with their hands and eyes, without any measurement tools. A radiator takes a whole day for a worker to manufacture, and then it takes 5 hours to process and polish it.

Now, the annual production of Rolls-Royce cars is only a few thousand vehicles. The brand's success is due to its continued adherence to the traditional British car manufacturing art: refined, lasting, and complete. Therefore, it is incredible that more than 60% of Rolls-Royces still perform well since 1906 to the present.

The Rolls-Royce logo pattern uses two "r" overlapping each other, symbolizing that you are in me and I are in me, reflecting the harmonious and harmonious relationship between the two. The famous flying goddess logo originates from a beautiful love story.

The designer of this logo was British painter and sculptor Charles Sykes. In the early 20th century, Sykes was introduced by his friend Montagu. Sykes was responsible for designing a sculptural logo for Rolls-Royce. At that time, the married Montagu accidentally and Thornton, whom he had been obsessed with, and found that Thornton had been raising their children alone during the years of separation. My friend Sykes was moved by their love and designed a small statue for Montagu based on Thornton. Montagu placed the statue on the front of his Rolls-Royce, and the people in the upper class took it as fashionable and followed suit.

This love story has gone through many hardships. Thornton was a stripper. Old Montagu did not allow his son to marry a dancer, so the two could not live together. By chance, Montagu met Thornton with heavy makeup in a bar and followed her residence. After getting his wife's understanding, Montagu finally got together with Thornton, but unfortunately, during World War I, Montagu was sent to India to inspect the motorized forces. He and Thornton boarded the ship on December 13, 1915, and later the ship was hit by German torpedoes.

Ancient survivors, but Thornton was buried at the bottom of the sea with the ship. Later, their beautiful and tortuous love story settled in that small statue. Rolls and Royce were also friends of Montagu. They were very moved when they learned about this. Later, they invited Sykes to change it to an image of his hands stretching back like wings, which is today's "Flying Goddess". In 1911, it officially became the logo of the Rolls-Royce. From then on, the logo of the Rolls-Royce was a beautiful symbol of love.

The mascot on the front of each Rolls-Royce car: the goddess of joy with wings. The process of her creation and manufacturing is an excellent example of Rolls-Royce's pursuit of perfection. Charles Sykes, the designer of the Rolls-Royce logo, describes his design philosophy in this way: "The graceful goddess takes the head of the Rolls-Royce as a spring of pleasure, and the breeze is lightly delivered along the way, swaying in a swaying posture." This concept and the goddess' shape are the excellent manifestation of Rolls-Royce's pursuit of excellence.

The production process of this statue is also extremely complicated. It uses traditional wax molding process and is completely made by hand-molding. Then it is hand-polished for at least 8 times. The polished statue is placed in a machine equipped with mixed grinding substances for 65 minutes. The finished statue must be strictly inspected.

It is said that at Rolls-Royce, it takes 15 hours to make a steering wheel, 31 hours to assemble a car body, and 6 days to install an engine. Because of this, it can only move 6 inches per minute on the assembly line. It takes two and a half months to make a four-door car, and each car has to undergo 5,000 miles of testing, so customers who order Rolls-Royce usually need to wait patiently for more than half a year. This will inevitably lead to the production cost of Rolls-Royce cars being high in the UK.

But this is not the most important thing. It is not just that you want to buy a Rolls-Royce, but you don’t have to have money. Rolls-Royce has to review the identity and background conditions of the buyer of the car. There has been such a regulation in history that only people with aristocratic status can order vehicles from Rolls-Royce. The color of the vehicle is not decided by the owner. To this day, Rolls-Royce still adheres to similar regulations, such as world-renowned technical personnel, well-known entrepreneurs can own white, government ministerial officials or above, world-renowned entrepreneurs and social celebrities can drive silver, while black Rolls-Royce is only tailor-made for the king, queen, government head, prime minister and cabinet members. This car-making company has become so luxurious that it can choose customers.

However, even so, the people who apply to Rolls-Royce for purchases of sedans every year still far exceed the annual output of Rolls-Royce. Moreover, those old Rolls-Royce are also the best pursuit of car collectors around the world. The value is really considerable.

Dudley looked at Lin Yu enviously. Although he had been invited to ride a Rolls-Royce sedan together, he had never had any treatment that could be borrowed like Lin Yu. With this Rolls-Royce, Lin Yu in Saudi Arabia, in addition to those military restricted areas, there are places where non-Muslims are forbidden to enter, which can be said to be unobstructed. Even Saudi Arabian police officers would take special care of him. Prince Adullah was really generous to him! However, Dudley thought about it and became calm. With the 50 million US dollars of timely assistance, it was reasonable for Prince Abdullah to give him such treatment.

Lin Yu also understood that this was undeniable, so he agreed quickly. Although Lin Yu did not care about this Rolls-Royce. Of course, the reason for not being rare is that Lin Yu now has 70% of the shares of Rolls-Royce, but under normal circumstances, Lin Yu would not sit on Rolls-Royce. If he travels on Rolls-Royce every day, it would be very annoying.

Not only is he annoyed, but other drivers on the road will also be annoyed.

Lin Yu remembered that in his previous life another Rolls-Royce kissed an Accord gently. Good guy, this kiss made the owner of the Accord compensate 2 million yuan for repair fees. Of course, Lin Yu had forgotten whether he was compensated in the end or not.

He looked at Dudleyway, who smiled and shook hands with Prince Adula again, hugged and kissed him, and got on his own ride first. He did not wait for Lin Yu and the others. He drove out of the yard first, the villa Lin Yu was going to, and the hotel where Dudleyway was not in the same direction as before, and he was at the banquet, so he left Lin Yu his cell phone and room phone number to facilitate future contact.

Lin Yu also said goodbye to Prince Abdullah by copying his words. Prince Abdullah patted his shoulder and said, "Lin, since you have come here, you might as well stay for a few more days. Enjoy life relaxingly, and I will naturally make an appointment when I have time." (To be continued.
