Marvel’s Princess Chapter 119: Car show
"That dancer with the peacock headdress over there, can you do that move?" Natasha asked in a low voice.
To be honest, many dance moves are really difficult if you don't practice hard and rely on your physical fitness. Bella doesn't think she needs to learn dance. She curled her lips and said nothing.
After the show, the two returned to the hotel. Natasha, who was somewhat competitive, insisted on imitating the dancers. Bella had no choice but to act as a prop.
"Easy! Let me take a breath...it's pinching me!"
"Let's practice by ourselves. What high-heeled shoes are you wearing! Take off your shoes!"
"Oh, oh, my waist!"
......
The next day, they went to visit the Seine River and saw the very famous Alexander III Bridge on the river. To be honest, the Seine River is famous, but it actually looks ordinary. From the bridge body of Alexander III Bridge, which is a hundred meters long, Now we know how wide the river is.
This is just a small bridge, but the decoration on the bridge is very beautiful.
When it comes to the Seine River, we have to mention the Parisian cafe culture.
There are many artists and thinkers on the left bank of the Seine who like to drink coffee here. People like Xu Zhimo often come to the left bank to check in and stay all day long.
The Right Bank is home to a large number of entrepreneurs and politicians. There is a saying in Paris that the Left Bank uses brains and the Right Bank uses money.
Natasha's impression of literature and art was only average. The two of them drank coffee at the famous Café de Flore. The desserts were good, and the consumption of 15 euros per person was quite satisfactory.
The two didn't experience much romantic feelings, so they went to the Paris Auto Show in the afternoon.
It can be seen that tourists are not very interested in art now. There are not many people in those cultural and artistic attractions, but the car show is full of people. The crowds are second only to the Lido show last night. .
There are no car models on the public open day of the Paris Auto Show, and major car manufacturers do not need to use this to promote themselves. Tourists are here to see the cars, and some car models will only appear on the media day.
Bella and Natasha followed the dense crowd inside, chatting from time to time.
Both of them are poor, and they are the type who just don’t want to buy.
Bella's understanding of cars was only average, and she spent most of her time listening to Natasha's chirping introductions to her.
For example, how awesome is the suspension system of this car? For example, how powerful is the engine of that car?
Anyway, Xiao has his own supernatural car repair method. Bella basically doesn't care about the specific condition of the car. What's the use of my research on something that can be solved with a slap?
Facing Natasha's explanation at this time, she could only respond perfunctorily: "Well, well, it's really amazing!" "That's great, that's great."
She has no interest in art, but is quite enthusiastic about machinery. Natasha is in a high mood.
"There are many people over there! Let's go and take a look!" Bella was dragged to the east exhibition hall. There were more people here, and one of the booths attracted the attention of most tourists.
A silver-gray sports car was parked quietly at the booth. Tourists around it whispered to each other from time to time, and more people picked up their cameras to take pictures.
The first impression of this car is that it is beautiful, with smooth lines and elegance. Little beauty Natasha can't take her eyes away from it.
Bella's first impression of this car was also very good, and she was a little familiar with the logo. What kind of car is this? She looked at the French introduction on the side, Koenigsegg? Sweden's top sports car manufacturer Koenigsegg? !
My first reaction is that I can’t afford it! Farewell! But then he woke up again, what year is it now? It was 2001, so Koenigsegg had not yet made a fortune, right?
"Let's see again, wait a minute, wait a minute."
Bella grabbed Natasha, whose interest came and went quickly, and the two stood at Koenigsegg's booth and continued to watch.
"You don't want to buy it, do you? Are you giving it to me? Bella, I love you so much!" Natasha rolled her eyes twice, and then she hugged her waist with enthusiasm. , his head was still rubbed in her arms.
"Don't make trouble, I'm just taking a look..."
“A stingy guy with an A all over his body!”
Bella is still in the wait-and-see stage, but some tourists have the intention to buy. However, after asking the person in charge of Koenigsegg, the founder of the company, a middle-aged bald man, they all left the booth with regret. .
Koenigsegg’s silver-gray sports car, the Koenigsegg CC, is only on display and not for sale. As soon as these words came out, more than 50% of the tourists were driven away in an instant.
Only for viewing, not for sale, why are you exhibiting this?
There are still some people who are ready to invest in this sports car manufacturing company, but they learned that Koenigsegg is supplied with parts by dozens of small Swedish processing companies. Currently, the company only has four engineers and two engine assemblers. , the five general assemblers were all dumbfounded after being responsible for the assembly and manufacturing of the vehicle.
That’s eleven people in total! In addition, there are twelve bosses, and you are not asked to play football. How long does it take for people like this to assemble a sports car?
Christian Koenigsegg, the bald person in charge and the founder of the company, had already expected this, and he answered questions from all parties candidly.
Someone asked, does your Koenigsegg company have a complete automobile production line? The bald person in charge replied that it is still under construction!
Someone asked again, is your company, Koenigsegg, ready to recruit more workers and expand production scale?
The bald person in charge explained the philosophy of his company. The core meaning is just one. We want to make the fastest sports car in the world. Sales and other things are incidental. If someone wants to buy it, we can spare time for the sake of food. It doesn’t matter if you make two cars for sale and no one buys them!
Such a Buddhist attitude scared away more than half of the investors.
The remaining people shook their heads and sighed. The sports cars manufactured by Koenigsegg are really good, and their engineers are top figures in the small circle of sports car manufacturing.
The car has also been unveiled at some public occasions, and the data in all aspects are extremely perfect. However, the company's concept has discouraged investors. A large amount of money has been invested, and there is no profit for seven or eight years. Who can this be? I can bear it!
After watching for more than an hour, Natasha also noticed something: "You don't want to invest in this Swedish company, do you?"
Of course Bella wants to invest in Koenigsegg, the world's top sports car manufacturer! If you have such a sports car manufacturer under your name, it will be very popular just thinking about it. Several technology geeks will look more honest than Wall Street elites and Silicon Valley elites. They will not take their own investment on the first day and kick them out the next day. Out.
But she has no money now...
To rub salt into the wound, it was Natasha who asked cheerfully: "Do you have money? I still have five hundred dollars here that I can lend to you."
You can buy at most two Michelin tires with your five hundred dollars! Bella rolled her eyes and said nothing to the cheap sister's teasing.
