Maybe he was happy to see Li Fanyu, a friend from a foreign country, or maybe he kept the matter in his heart for too long after being betrayed. Mason seemed a bit talkative today. Over a few cans of beer, he talked about all the bad experiences he had during this period.
He spoke very calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story in an unhurried manner. Li Fanyu didn't speak while holding the beer, and listened carefully. Hearing the key points, he let out a few sighs from time to time.
However, Mason’s experience is indeed very Japanese;
This guy previously set up a small car modification factory, specializing in the modification and beautification business of high-end models. Because Mason had previously worked in management at Luster Company and had good relationships with many customers, so relying on this advantage, he was able to do quite well in the modification business while attracting business.
But the bad thing is that he doesn't know people well. He gave up all the financial and daily management of the company and handed it over to his rebellious partner.
Seeing the company's operating conditions getting better day by day, the partners who did not hold so much capital began to have other ideas.
Mason has such a carefree temperament that he didn't realize that his friend had already won over the company's accountant and technical director.
So soon, poor Mason was kicked out. It is worth mentioning that the company’s accountant is Mason’s girlfriend.
Mason, who had lost everything, had no choice but to return to his hometown of New York, and with the little money he got from the company, he bought the scrap car treatment plant.
Li Fanyu sighed and drank the beer in his hand, "Mason, I really don't know how to comfort you."
"Oh, my friend, it doesn't matter, I have actually thought about it. In terms of your Eastern theory of cause and effect, this is because I chose the wrong talent. Everything now is due to this cause. Ha, this theory is correct, right?"
Looking at Mason's calm expression, Li Fanyu suddenly wanted to laugh, "Mason, when did you start studying Buddhism? Looking at you, you look like a monk. You are not completely despairing. Do you want to become a monk? ”
"Haha! nonono! This world is so wonderful, I will not shut myself up in a temple! By the way! Since we are talking about beauty, please come with me my friend, I will show you My favorite! ”
As he spoke, Mason accurately threw the empty beer can outside the wastebasket. With a smug look on his face, he waved his hand and greeted Li Fanyu to the backyard of the scrapyard - a place that could barely be used as a parking lot.
The so-called parking lot is actually an area the size of a basketball court that was cleared out among a pile of scrap metal.
It can be seen that this place has been carefully tidied up by Mason. Being so cool, he even pulled a circle of small light bulbs and made some decorations.
On the small site, there were parked several cars whose surfaces were severely corroded and the interior leather was rotten, mottled and cracked.
With the faint lights around him, Li Fanyu looked at the cars in front of him in surprise.
Judging from the appearance, these cars are quite old!
Not to mention being older than Li Fanyu, I am afraid that some of them must have been born before Father Li, or even traced back to their grandparents!
"This is?"
"Da da!" Mason stretched out his hands, made a very funny display gesture, and made an exaggerated background music with a cigarette and alcoholic voice, "My friend! As you can see, this is A classic model from the last century! Look, the Alfa Romeo TIPO-B produced in 1932 is equipped with a 2.6-liter 8-cylinder engine, which adopts a low-speed and high-torque design concept and was specially developed for the 1932 Grand Prix. . Won five races in that year! There are only five of them in the world! The one you see is probably the only one left in the world besides the one in Al Arromeo’s Racing Museum!” /
“This is the Cobra Datona, which is modified based on the Cobra Luster race car! It was produced in 1963 and is based on the Luster prototype. It is given an extremely excellent aerodynamic appearance and a V8 engine that has been enlarged and modified. . The first time she competed in Sebring, she ended the dominance of the Mercedes-Benz 220 on the track! I can tell you responsibly that the one you saw is the last one in the world! ”
"This! Mercedes 540K, produced in 1937. My friend, if she weren't so big, I would even want to hold her to sleep every night! Look at this dreamy streamline, it's like A gift from the God of Creation! You probably don’t know. There was a time when controlling a car was a huge challenge, and it was during that time that Mercedes-Benz not only made it easy to control, but also produced vehicles with great power. 540K is the end of the old era and the beginning of the new era! Look at this beauty, her watch only has 110,000 miles, even the tires are original!”
"It's a pity that they are too dilapidated and there is no possibility of repair... But it is really exciting to dig out these treasures from a pile of garbage! So you see, the world will always Give us a surprise of one kind or another, right?"
Looking at a pile of scrap metal that could barely be called cars, and old cars that were as mottled as unearthed cultural relics, Li Fanyu’s mind moved, and he rubbed his shoulders that were numb after being patted by Mason, “Ahem. , Mason, maybe...I can give you a bigger surprise..."
Mason tilted his head, a little drunkenly, "What's the surprise?"
Li Fanyu spread his hands and said softly to the scrap cars quietly displayed there: "Maybe I can use some means to repair these cars and make them look almost like new ones."
"Hahahaha, my friend, you must have drunk too much." Mason walked to the side of 540K, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the rusty and dented car body, "Look, the sheet metal is rusty It's almost perforated, and the structure inside is in a mess due to exposure to wind and rain all year round. Otherwise, my friend wouldn't have been abandoned in this junkyard, and wouldn't have been mined by me. Out."
Li Fanyu shrugged. Although he and Mason met at a car show, they only had two phone calls and did not have a close relationship. But this American's straightforwardness and conduct made him feel quite in the right mood.
Now that Mason is in such distress, he still wants to help.
Being blown by the wind outside, Mason's drunkenness dissipated a little. Only then did he notice that he had been talking about himself for more than an hour without mentioning a word about Li Fanyu's current situation.
"Friend, don't worry about this. Let's talk about you. I heard that you are doing well in China. What are you doing in the United States this time?"
Li Fan shook his head with a silly smile, and briefly explained the matter of Zhengxin taking a stake in CPM Group and seeking Zhengxin’s sales in the United States.
After hearing what he said, Mason's eyes widened, "Oh God! You said you bought 15% of the CPM sales part? Oh my God, the person talking to me now is a billionaire. ! ”
