133 Water City Tour

(232 votes...Damn, I hate them to hide their strength!)

...

The next morning, after paying a deposit of 50,000 US dollars, Joanna accompanied him into the main auction venue. Since there are many models of cars sold in the joint auction, not just cars, but also some racing engines, and the estimated price is even more expensive than sports cars, Joanna cannot understand the madness of car fans.

After seating, there were many people at the scene, but they were talking in a low voice. There was a huge projection screen on the stage, with roads connected to the outside. After the auction officially began, there will be auction sports cars pushing in from outside - bidders will never want to see the car being driven in by someone's accelerator.

There are auctions of some classic cars in front of them, with high prices and low prices. Anfeng is not very interested, unless it is a legendary model. He wants to buy a sports car that can be collected or driven out for a ride, show off, and make car fans feel high. If you buy it, you can't drive it? Anfeng hasn't had that fever yet.

Waiting during the chat, I was having a lot of fun in the record of the mobile game competition with Joanna... The boredom finally ended, a fiery red enzo was pushed in by the staff, and the bidders around him raised their heads, and their eyes were concentrated on it. It seemed that the purpose was quite unified.

Listening to the auctioneer's endless praise and introduction, the car is in good condition and has only traveled more than 1,000 kilometers so far. For the sports car, it is equivalent to not driving it. It is well maintained and no accidents have occurred. Even the instructions and spare keys for the car are built.

This shows that the car is of high value.

The expected transaction price is around 1.05-1.3 million euros. Everyone slowly raised the price, and An Feng kept waiting and watching. Anyway, no one could beat him. When the auction price steadily reached 1.2 million euros, he began to raise the price, and he was moving forward without fear of any opponent's strength.

Several bidders saw An Feng's quick and neat way, abdicated to the rich people from the mysterious country, and finally sold at an expected value of 1.3 million euros, about 1.76 million US dollars.

Less than two million, it is not a big deal for him who now receives more than 2 billion yuan in salary every year. It is not even enough for his helicopter.

Then there was the auction of Ferrari 599gto, and he was still waiting and watching. Its estimated price is 500,000-800,000 euros, which is also not expensive for An Feng. He doesn't care about the issue of rational investment, but car fans will buy it at any cost when they see what they like. Others can't play with him.

In the end, he was photographed for 800,000 euros, about 108 US dollars.

Then the f50 was pushed up, and everyone unconsciously looked at An Feng, who was full of confidence, and had a bad premonition.

At the beginning, An Feng looked at them calmly at the price increase, and the collectors also carefully stared at him to see if this person would move.

From 800,000 euros to 900,000 euros, An Feng did not move any action. Just when they thought there would be no accidents again, An Feng raised his sign.

"910,000 euros! Mr. No. 155 bid 910,000 euros!"

When he started raising the sign and raising the price with a bold price, the other collectors looked helpless. Why did a rich man appear?

Who let him in?

Car fans are almost crying. He snatched all three heavyweights of Ferrari Legend today!

In the end, An Feng finished the car for 950,000 euros. He was then invited to the VIP reception room to deal with the money, and he also met a supervisor at RM.

His name is Brian, an American, and he often travels to Europe and the United States to host various luxury car auctions. For bidders like An Feng who are not short of money, it is very worth making friends with. The bidders also like them because they will know any information and heavyweight bids in advance.

Brian said: "Mr. An, are you planning to transport all three of the collections back to the United States?"

An Feng nodded: "Of course. I live in the United States."

Brian asked: "Are you planning to ship by sea or air? We can provide you with thoughtful one-stop service throughout the journey, and the fees charged are also very reasonable."

An Feng was most afraid of trouble. When he said this, he immediately agreed: "The air freight is faster. With you on your behalf, it will save me a lot of trouble!"

Brian smiled: "It's okay sir, this is the essence of our service to our customers."

They exchanged business cards, and Brian said that the next Pebble Beach Motor Show in California will bring even more surprising collections, which will arouse An Feng's appetite.

The tax on vehicle trading between European and American countries is not high. How is Europe? It is similar to returning to the United States. This can be seen from the vehicle market. If it is in China, Anfeng bought the Enzo for US$1.76 million, it will cost at least three times the cost to get it on the domestic roads.

After completing all the procedures, An Feng gave the time to Joanna: "I have bought my toys, and the next thing is to buy you the time to do it."

...

They left Rome and flew to the famous water city of Venice.

Taking a plane is not a good choice. Italy does not have as developed aviation systems as the United States. The local airlines are in average conditions. The planes are old and they also like to be late. If you are not in a hurry, taking a high-speed train is the most comfortable and convenient. Italy's high-speed train system is well developed.

It took less than an hour to fly, but it took more than an hour to waste it on various forms. After leaving the airport, the car that came to pick it up had not arrived yet.

"It's late again." An Feng sighed, leaned against the pillar and touched Joanna's hair. Only the girl could let him have the patience to consume it.

Joanna poked him with her finger: "You must be tolerant and patient to treat Italians."

An Feng nodded: "I know that Italians are famously lazy. It is very common for them to be late for ten minutes on dates. Spain is not the same. I heard that the Latin people are going to be shot. Thieves, liars and hooligans are almost synonymous with them - I'm sorry for being too much. You don't have friends from these countries, right?"

She smiled and said, "No, they regard this as a 'free attitude to life' and will not let work dominate themselves, but let themselves control their lives."

"I heard that Italians go to work like this: ** get up at the time of the time, slowly go to the cafe to have a cup of coffee, occasionally meet friends, chat and talk about life and ideals. Then, when it is almost eleven o'clock, they slowly go to work, and think about getting off work before four o'clock. That's all, they also participated in the parade and strongly demanded that the government force enterprises to raise their wages."

Joanna smiled: "You admire this kind of life very much, right?"

An Feng nodded: "Of course - I mean, it would be great if I was the only one. If everyone was like this, I would be crazy."

The driver, who was ten minutes late, finally drove the car slowly. The reason for the explanation was very ordinary: traffic jam. As a result, on the way to Venice, although cars came and went on, the speed could be maintained at least about fifty kilometers... An Feng finally knew that he had met his opponent.

It is good to abandon these historical and genetic factors. Venice, as early as when Anfeng was in elementary school, there was a text about "Venice on the Water" with black and white illustrations. In my impression, Venice is a magical city flooded by sea water and rowing boats through buildings.

After passing the bridge, the car drove for a distance and stopped. You could already see the waterways between the houses and wooden bridges. Occasionally, a ferry passed by under the bridge. Visitors sat on the boat and enjoyed the surrounding scenery. An Feng and Joanna were on...a yachts.

Anfeng doesn’t want to take a yacht, but this is a hotel pick-up and drop-off boat.

Along the way, we rush through the "street and water alley" and came to the San Marco District. This area is a wealthy and prosperous area, and they stayed at the most distinctive and luxurious palace hotel. It is said that it was once a dame's palace, facing the Grand Canal. There were very few hotel rooms, so we could only book in advance, but it was very worth it.

Here is a spacious room filled with antique furniture. Shiny plated tableware, exquisite crystal wine glasses, and soft pure handmade carpets. There is a pure classic style everywhere, making the guests feel noble. Put down their luggage, sit on the European sofa. Hold their legs up, waiting for the servant to pour wine...

When the sun was not so strong that afternoon, the two of them tasted wine and snacks in the open-air restaurant outside the hotel, staring at the passing ferry together, talking about life like the tourists around them. After nightfall, the lights were swaying on the water.

Joanna planned to stay for two days, and the next day they could still immerse themselves in the beauty of this water city. Anfeng specially hired a ferry, gondola. This black coffin, which was pitch black and quietly wandered on the water, was definitely a major feature of the local area.

An Feng chose a small boat with two couples seats, sitting in a hug on the fiery red seats, and the boatman slowly supported the boat and wandered in the long water alley.

Gondola is the most unmissable romantic wandering journey in Venice.

An Feng hugged Joanna, and she leaned her head on her shoulder. The boat was aimlessly drifting with the flow, passing through bridges full of stories, listening to the melancholy voices of the boatman and the boat musician, and singing Italian folk songs, looking at the magnificent or vicissitudes along the way.

This slow-paced charm is indescribable, and it can be with your loved ones. No matter how troubles you are, you will throw away your worries and enjoy the beautiful scenery quietly, without excessively gorgeous words, just hold your hands and communicate with your heart. Time was greatly slowed down, and finally you looked at each other and kissed affectionately. Under the blessing of the boatman and musician in dry English, the whole process was completed with a laugh and warm feeling.

In terms of language, An Feng praised the Italians. Although he didn't speak much English, he at least worked hard. Later, he went to France and gave a bad review to the French who thought French was the most beautiful language in the world. It was so awesome. Before you communicate, he wouldn't be afraid of you if you didn't speak French to him.

But this is a story later. That night, they ate local specialties at the Yanhe Restaurant: risotto stewed pork rice with tomato sauce, and naturally there is also an indispensable seafood meal, sardines, clams and crabs, etc. The seafood must be accompanied by a glass of white wine... The Romantic Water City trip was changed to three days.

Then he hurried to Milan in the north. The fashion capital is famous, but unfortunately there is not much time. According to the itinerary, Anfeng had to arrive in Zurich, Switzerland on time and had to give up his plan to visit Milan. Anyway, the shopping feast could be made up in France. After the decision, he went to Milan Central Railway Station.
