www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!
"1963 Shelby Torna Coupe, V8. The exterior, interior, and hood interior are all top-notch, and the condition is the same as a new car! Joe just bid $3.42 million, and there are No friends left to bid? Three million one hundred and twenty thousand times!"
"I will give three hundred and thirteen!"
"Three million and two million!"
"Three hundred and twenty-five!"
……
When this bright blue sports car was driven to the booth by the staff, the auction venue went crazy.
After ten minutes of viewing and appreciation, after the bidding started. The bidding price for this car, which had a base price of one million US dollars, more than tripled in just fifteen minutes!
Li Fanyu and Mason were sitting in the audience, listening to the loud bids that kept ringing around them, and they were already grinning from ear to ear.
Seeing the overjoyed expressions of these two guys, Zhou Qingyu roughly understood the fishy nature of it after a little analysis.
"Is this car yours?"
Li Fanyu saw that she did not hide her question and nodded slightly, "How is it? Pretty, isn't it?"
"It's okay, but I don't think it looks as good as TT."
"..."
In fact, Zhou Qingyu's aesthetic vision is absolutely correct.
The appearance of Shelby Tona is indeed different from that of TT. If measured by female aesthetic standards, of course, the compact yet sharp TT is more pleasing to the eye.
But there is a market pain point called scarcity.
There is a need called feelings.
Even with the top-level engine tuning technology at the time, the V8 on the Shelby Torna Cp was tuned to its peak at the time, but can you say that it was more advanced than the current engine?
Obviously not.
Even in 1963, its interior style in racing cars was talked about by many car fans at the time, but it is already very crude when viewed today.
However, this does not affect the current value of this old car at all.
In 1963, only six cars in the world survived to this day. Showing it in front of everyone in such a perfect posture is already a miracle in itself.
It is no exaggeration to say that this Shelby Toner Cp now has cultural relic value.
So, even if the appearance is outdated, even the performance can no longer compete with today's super sports cars. But it will still be sought after by people, and there will still be countless people crazy about it.
......
Soon, the price was raised to 3.9 million US dollars.
Although this price has put some people back, there is still a small group of people who are **** for tat and constantly refresh the price.
This price even made the auctioneer sweat profusely with excitement.
Just such a commission from one business is enough to make him so excited that he cannot sleep tonight and go to a nightclub to have fun all night long!
The guests in the audience couldn't help clenching their fists as the prices kept refreshing.
You know, these days, even if Hollywood's top stars work hard to make one more movie a year, their salary is only 10 to 20 million US dollars.
Looking at the five or six people who were indistinguishably killed in the field, they looked like they were going to get paid for a movie tonight!
The auction lasted for more than two hours and finally reached its climax.
"Hey, Yu! What do you think the final transaction price will be?"
Seeing the rising prices, Mason grinned and leaned into Li Fanyu's ear and asked.
According to Li Fanyu's original estimate, although this car was rare, it would be over after selling for around three million. But now that he saw Stewart and another person in the field who were still bidding, he felt uncertain.
The current final transaction price depends entirely on who of the two can cut more meat.
But in his opinion, Uncle Jon could no longer bear it.
After all, Stewart is just a variety show star. Although he must have accumulated a lot of savings over the years, there is still a big gap compared with those rich and superstars.
This can be seen from his eyebrows that have begun to wrinkle.
It can be seen that he really likes this car.
But now that the price is almost reaching five million US dollars, it should have reached the limit of what he can afford.
However, his opponent seems to be a rich man. The old man, who must be in his sixties, still looks calm and calm even now during the bidding process, and is calmly sipping red wine.
Seeing this scene, Li Fanyu shook his head helplessly.
He always takes a special look at people who love cars.
Repairing these cars is a waste of his efforts. Although the purpose is to make money now, he still hopes that they can fall into the hands of someone who understands and loves cars - for these old antiques that have died once. Find a good home.
Furthermore... although he was still aching for the bottle of perfume that Zhou Qingyu bought just now, he also remembered the fact that Stewart broke the auction rules to speak for Zhou Qingyu and persuaded Xu Lin to leave.
So at this time, I also started to plan to return the favor.
Thinking of this, I asked Mason: "You only got this car this time, right?"
Mason nodded, "Of course! I only know that a car of this quality will definitely sell for a good price, but I'm still not sure how good it will be, so I will release one to test the water first. Ha, It turns out that this is indeed the right thing to do. According to my original estimate, this Shelby Tonya would be sold for three million, but it is now nearly half that price.”
Hey, your thief’s little ideas are quite similar to mine!
Li Fan smiled stupidly and nodded, "Did you bring the photos of those cars?"
"On the phone!"
Li Fanyu asked for Mason's cell phone and asked a waiter not far away for paper and pen. Shua Shua Shua wrote a note and asked the waiter to deliver it to the old man who was competing with Stuart along with his cell phone.
It won’t take long.
The old man took the note and frowned, then leaned over and glanced at Li Fanyu. Then after seeing those photos on the phone, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The auctioneer was counting several times at this time - Stewart called out $5.5 million!
"Five million and a half million dollars! The generous and persistent Joe shouted out a new high price for tonight's auction! Is there any higher bid than this? No? Five and a half million dollars! Just now! Sir, will you continue?"
The old man stood up and nodded slightly to Stuart, "Congratulations, Joe, if nothing else happens, your childhood dream will come true."
Stuart's forehead was already covered with sweat. After hearing what he said, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the chair.
"Twice for five million and a half, three times for five and a half million, deal done! Congratulations, Joe!"
……
Stewart felt like he had been on a super long roller coaster, and he was a little exhausted.
While accepting congratulations from everyone along the way, he walked up to the old man who had just competed with him and stretched out his hand.
"Hey, Jones, I really didn't expect that I could compete with an invisible rich man like you for a lot. Thank you for your generosity and acceptance. I don't have any confidence in competing with you. But why did you suddenly give up? What? You should have been able to tell that I was at the end of my rope just now."
The old man named Jones shrugged and handed him a note in his hand. "Joe, if the original owner of this car hadn't put in a good word for you, I wouldn't have given up."
Stuart read the note and immediately thanked Jones again. After turning around and searching around, he immediately walked over to Li Fanyu.
