Life 1984

The negotiator from De Tomaso looked at Li Yunhai with disbelief.

They were even more shocked than David and Amy!

I just casually mentioned a price, but I didn’t expect the deal to be done like this?
Li Yunhai immediately made a request: "US$25 billion, no problem. But I want the complete Maserati company, including the brand and the factory."

The other party's representative lowered his head to discuss, and then told Li Yunhai: "We are not selling Maserati, but our De Tomaso company."

When Li Yunhai discussed with David and others before, he had been talking about the acquisition of De Tomaso.

When David contacted De Tomaso, he also thought that Li Yunhai wanted to acquire the entire De Tomaso.

So the price offered by De Tomaso is the selling price of their entire company.

De Tomaso has long been on the decline, with all of its brands in the red.

They heard that there was a wealthy man from the East who was willing to buy their company, so the executives discussed and agreed to sell it.

Li Yunhai found out that the other party's company was being sold as a whole, including the Maserati brand.

However, the other party said with regret that the Maserati factory had been sold to Fiat.

If Li Yunhai still wants to acquire the Maserati factory, he can only negotiate with Fiat.

Li Yunhai asked the other party to help him persuade Fiat to sell the Maserati factory to him.

The other party agreed that there was no problem, and they also said that they could invite people from Fiat to come and negotiate with Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai felt that it was a good choice for the other party to issue the invitation, so he agreed.

After discussion, we decided to formally sign the transfer agreement tomorrow morning.

After signing the agreement, De Tomaso will hold a reception banquet and invite people from Fiat to attend the banquet. Li Yunhai can negotiate with the other party at the banquet.

After discussing the matter, Li Yunhai shook hands with the other party’s representative.

The representative of the other party gave Li Yunhai a big bear hug and patted Li Yunhai's back hard.

This behavior made Li Yunhai wonder if the other party felt that he had met a rich man?

On the way back to the hotel, David and Amy were both trying to persuade Li Yunhai that $25 billion was a bit too expensive.

David said: "De Tomaso has been losing money in recent years. If you wait two years before acquiring it, the price can be lower."

Li Yunhai said: "The transfer of such automobile companies, especially cross-border transfers, must be approved by the local government. It's not that I can acquire them just because I want to. Now they are willing to sell it to me, and the price is right, so I will buy it."

Amy said, "25 billion US dollars is equivalent to 200 billion RMB! It doesn't even include the factory you want. In addition, it costs money to acquire the factory! Will the amount of money spent on this acquisition exceed the company's budget?"

She got to the point.

Li Yunhai did make a lot of money when he sold the Sihai Group.

In addition, in recent years, he has not been able to make much income from Sanjiang Company.

But he also spent a lot of money.

Several women gave him almost half of his property.

A large part of the money earned by Sanjiang Company is invested in research and development.

Li Yunhai only has about 70 billion in his hands.

He spent 20 billion just to acquire a project from this company!

After that, we will have to acquire other companies and factories, and build our own factories. The total expenses will be in the tens of billions!
The design and development of automobiles are also very expensive projects, no less expensive than lithography machines.

Seventy billion seems like a lot, but it is still unknown whether we can eventually build a new car!

Li Yunhai really played big this time!

The automotive industry is far more expensive than he imagined.

Whether a car made with a lot of money is easy to drive or sell is unknown.

And what he invested was real money!
Li Yunhai did not answer Amy's question.

Because he doesn't know now how much the budget for his car project will eventually cost.

When they passed through the city, they saw that it was bustling with people.

Amy pointed over there and said, "Ferrari Auto Show! Let's go check it out! It's the world's top auto show!"

Li Yunhai is now very interested in everything related to cars, and said yes when he heard it.

They came to the auto show.

This is a large exhibition area, including indoor and outdoor departments.

The main models on display indoors.

There is a runway outdoors where drivers are performing in sports cars, presenting a real version of Fast and Furious.

Such auto shows attracted a large number of visitors.

Li Yunhai and his friends happened to arrive at the right time.

They watched the car show outside first.

On the track, the colorful racing cars are like wild horses running wild, ready to go.

Each racing car has been carefully designed and tuned, with smooth and powerful lines, as if ready to cut through the air at any time, leaving behind brilliant tracks.

As the starting flag was waved suddenly, the cars rushed out of the starting line like arrows. The roar of the engines intertwined into a passionate symphony, shaking everyone's heart.

The racers are dressed in professional racing suits and protective helmets, their eyes revealing their ultimate pursuit of speed. They flexibly shuttle on the narrow track, and every precise corner and every thrilling overtaking makes people hold their breath and gaze, and their heartbeats accelerate.

The engine roars and the car speeds past like lightning!

Li Yunhai doesn't play racing, so he doesn't know these internationally famous racing drivers.

Amy, on the other hand, understood all this very well. She pointed at the driver in the car and screamed from time to time, calling out the driver's name.

Li Yunhai couldn't help but feel depressed and asked, "Amy, they are dressed like astronauts, can you still recognize them?"

Amy smiled brightly and said, "Brother-in-law, if you put on a racing suit, I can recognize you! Because I am familiar with you!"

Li Yunhai thought, this is true, and asked, "Do you like watching car races?"

Amy nodded vigorously: "I like it very much. Not just a little bit. I also like racing! But my parents don't want me to learn it. They say that as a girl, I can't do such a wild job."

Li Yunhai asked: "Are there any female racing drivers in the world?"

When talking about what Amy was interested in, her fair face radiated a charming glow, and she said, "Of course there is! The first female racing driver in F1 history was Maria, who participated in the F1958 Monaco Grand Prix in 1. Although she did not qualify, she successfully started and finished in tenth place, the last place, when she tried to participate in the F1 Belgian Spa Grand Prix in the same year. This achievement made her the first female racing driver in F1 history, and this record still stands today!"

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "This person is amazing! She reached the pinnacle right after her debut, and she is also the pinnacle of female racing drivers."

Amy pouted and said, "That's because I haven't made my debut yet! If I did, I would definitely be better than her!"

David laughed and said, "Amy, don't brag! Do you think driving a racing car is easy?"

Amy shouted, "Dad, you don't understand! You don't understand me either! Don't you know that passion and courage are the accelerators of a person's success?" David was speechless and shrugged helplessly. He said to Li Yunhai, "Don't listen to his nonsense. She just wants to play racing! That project is too dangerous. She can't play it."

Li Yunhai said: "Maybe you can let her try?"

David had an exaggerated expression on his face: "How can I try? If I try, I'll die! Hundreds of kilometers per hour! Are you kidding?"

Li Yunhai said: "I believe that everyone has their own track! Maybe Amy's track is on the racing track?"

David shook his head and said, "Impossible, there is no such gene in our family."

Li Yunhai said: "Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species? Perhaps it was from her that a genetic mutation occurred?"

David scratched his head, covered his mouth, and whispered, "Yunhai, I want you to help me persuade her, not to speak for her."

Li Yunhai ignored him and said to Amy: "I need a racing driver to help me test the car, are you willing?"

Amy's eyes suddenly opened wide, emitting a bright light. She said ecstatically, "Really? You are not trying to cheer me up, are you?"

Li Yunhai said: "Of course it's true!"

Amy raised her hands high and waved them in the air: "Ohhh! I do!"

David poured a bucket of cold water on him: "I will definitely oppose it."

Amy said angrily: "Objection is invalid!"

David said: "You can't play without my permission."

Li Yunhai said: "It's okay, Amy, I will ask your mother for permission!"

Amy giggled, held Li Yunhai's face and kissed him on the cheek.

David gritted his teeth and sulked.

After watching the racing competition, Li Yunhai and his friends came to the exhibition hall.

Li Yunhai was attracted by a special sports car.

The exhibition displayed more than 20 classic Ferrari models from various eras, as well as modern limited edition models, attracting countless Ferrari fans to visit the exhibition.

While enjoying the visual feast of classic cars, people can also relive the exciting milestones and classic moments in Ferrari's history with the help of graphic and video materials and auxiliary exhibits.

Among them, the 250TR model must be mentioned. The enchanting red color perfectly interprets the hot temptation of an Italian-style red-haired girl.

The sports car that Li Yunhai has his eyes on is this car!

The TR in 250TR is an abbreviation, which means "red head" in Italian. It is composed of the two words "testa (camshaft cover)" and "rossa (red)".

Initially the two words were written separately for the 1957 series sports cars built by Ferrari from 1961 to 250, often abbreviated to TR, but in 1984 the two words were combined to apply to the road-going sports car equipped with a 4950cc V12 engine.

250TR, from the internal mechanical design to the exterior design, exudes an elegant temperament, and its soft figure makes people have unforgettable reverie at first sight. It is no exaggeration to call such an impeccably beautiful car a beauty.

This car performs as great as it looks!
This car inherited the chassis of the 500TRC racing car and was designed with a completely innovative flat-bottom wing. The racing performance was excellent, so it won the 1958, 1960 and 1961 Le Mans 24 Hours Endurance Race, 4 times at the Sebring Circuit, 2 times the Buenos Aires 1000 km Rally, and the 1958 "Team Champion" title.

Li Yunhai fell in love with it at first sight!

This is the legendary love at first sight.

The model standing next to the car was Monica, whom Li Yunhai met yesterday.

Li Yunhai asked the staff next to the car: "How much is this car?"

The staff member politely replied: "Hello, sir, this is a display car."

Li Yunhai said: "What I'm asking is, how much does this car cost? It's a display car, so there's no price?"

The staff smiled and said, "A total of 34 cars of this type were planned to be produced, but only 21 were produced. Now there are only 19 in existence. This is a rare car, produced in 1958."

Li Yunhai nodded and said, "Out-of-print cars are great! I like this kind of unique car! Well, how much does this car cost?"

No matter how the staff explained, they could not make it clear to Li Yunhai that the car was not for sale.

Li Yunhai just wants to ask a price!
The staff member said: "Sir, the Ferrari 250TR is very valuable. It is considered one of the rarest cars in the world and one of the most sought-after cars."

Li Yunhai said: "Very OK! Then, how much is it for? What is the price you give it? How much will you sell it for? Do you understand?"

There were a lot of people watching, and everyone was looking at the staff.

The staff member loosened his tight tie and said, "1000 million dollars, sir!"

The whole audience burst into applause!
Ten million dollars?

Buying a sports car from decades ago?

It's crazy!

Even a Rolls-Royce only costs tens of millions of RMB!

This antique sports car is actually worth eight or nine Rolls-Royces?

An average sports car costs around a million dollars.

This antique car is equivalent to ten new sports cars?

This offer obviously overturned everyone's cognition.

Everyone was whispering.

The staff member had a smile on his face.

He must be very happy, for he had finally convinced this tourist from the East with an unattainable price.

Model Monica, wearing sexy clothes, posed in various elegant and charming poses in front of the car and took photos for media reporters.

The luxury car and the beautiful woman complement each other and look breathtaking.

Monica cast seductive glances at Li Yunhai from time to time.

When she sensed that Li Yunhai was looking at her, she would make a very seductive pose and wink at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai ignored her!
In his eyes and heart, there was only that magnificent Ferrari 250TR!

Although Monica's body curves are perfect enough, they are still not as beautiful as the Ferrari 250TR!

The Ferrari 250TR's appearance is known for its elegant lines and exquisite details, and is hailed as one of the most beautiful lines in the world.

The design of this car shows unparalleled aesthetics and performance. The body curves are mysterious and elegant, and this elegance is not only reflected in its track performance, but also has become the focus of praise for future generations.

Li Yunhai pointed at the Ferrari 250TR and said, "Ten million dollars, I'll buy it!"

The whole place fell silent instantly.

Everyone's eyes were on Li Yunhai.

Countless media reporters at the scene pointed their cameras at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai faced the media camera, smiled slightly, and repeated: "For 1958 million US dollars, I bought this Ferrari 250TR produced in " (End of this chapter)
