Chapter 1273 The Legend of Wuling
For men, the most powerless thing is probably when they meet a girl who most wants to take care of her life at the age of the least ability.
Freelance journalist Pierre de Finez has encountered such an embarrassing thing recently.
He fell in love with the daughter of a British baron. The two have been dating for several months, but the other's father still looked down on him and insisted on marrying his daughter with a wealthy businessman to solve the bankruptcy dilemma faced by the family.
Without deposits and stable income, it would be surprising that the other party could respect him. In Pierre's mind, the little baron was already an unattainable existence.
Pierre's girlfriend is now back in the UK, but he can't even pay for the ticket to the UK. He also owes the landlord two months of rent. Unless he sells his only camera, how to solve the next dinner will be a big problem for him.
He did not think that poverty was wrong before, but now he deeply felt the malice of this world. When the romantic spirit encounters reality, it is useless except to comfort himself.
This reminded Pierre of the old movie "Roman Holiday". When poor reporter Joe Bradley met the arrogant Princess Anne, he probably felt like this at this moment. He thought in his heart.
All the money he had bought was Kodak film by Pierre. He specifically picked foreign exhibitors who no one knew about it, saying that he was a reporter from Le Monde. He could advertise their products as long as he gave a small sponsorship fee.
The idea was good, but not many people were fooled. Since the opening, he has asked five exhibitors, four of whom asked him to show a reporter's certificate. Pierre did not prepare this thing and he regrets it now.
Another family had already agreed, but later the trick was exposed by the French translator, who was also a Frenchman, and they ran away in a sloppy manner and were almost caught and expelled by the auto show security guards...
At this time, Pierre met a Chinese exhibitor named "Liuzhou Wujiao Automobile Company", and no one cares about the exhibition area in the corner.
At the booth, there was only an ugly silver van with the head of the car like a bullet. Several middle-aged Chinese in suits were anxious to distribute leaflets everywhere, not even a black man dressed in an African resident.
Pierre was about to go over and try it to see if he could get a "sponsorship fee" from them. When he saw a beautiful little girl next to him, he couldn't help but look at her. When his eyes turned to the Chinese boy standing next to her, his heart stopped beating.
"What did I see! Han Xuan!?" Pierre roared wildly in his heart, without blinking. The reporters hadn't seen Han Xuan before, and thought they wouldn't come today, but he didn't expect that he would sneak in.
I immediately looked around and noticed that it was a bit unusual. I obviously deliberately "disguised" the bodyguard was not by his side, and there were a few more friends.
I realized that it seemed that my colleagues had not noticed him yet. I was so excited that I thought to myself: "If I catch the exclusive, then I will be rich this time!"
What was strange was that Han Xuan actually came to visit an unknown small car dealer and showed an expression of interest?
Knowing that he had caught countless news that was interesting to the newspapers, Pierre's heart was pounding, forcing himself to calm down and prepare to follow up and shoot to see what he did.
He lowered his head and flipped over the film in his waist bag. There were more than ten left. Seeing that it was enough, he felt relieved. He fiddled with the camera to turn off the flash and quietly pointed it at them and took a photo.
Not only Pierre was curious, but even Garu, Benshaming and others didn't know why Han Xuan was interested in this car dealer, so he stopped to look at the car.
Garu asked, "What's wrong with this car?"
Han Xuan stared at the Chinese poster of "Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd.", looked at it for a long time, and said with a heavy tone, "I know this kind of car.
Last October, my friend drove a Lamborghini and lost to a Wuling Hongguang on the Tongmai section of the China Sichuan-Tibet Highway.
He drifted through the corner with inertia, and the car was very fast. My friend only saw a sign in his car that had a leaky building repair sign.
My friend went to wait for him in the next few days, but he never saw him again.
There is a legend about that person circulating in the local area. Whether it is driving a Ferrari or Lamborghini, it is said that as long as he sees his taillights while racing, he will lose."
After hearing this, Garu and the others took a breath. The look of looking at the Wuling van was instantly different. In their minds, they thought that the "my friend" in Han Xuan's words was himself.
Pierre, a freelance journalist who was listening with his ears on the side, was shocked when he heard this. He took out a notebook and wrote down what Han Xuan had just said without saying a word, and planned to sell it to the newspaper with the photos. This is all big news that can be sold for money.
I looked up at the company name, silently wrote it on the notebook, and also drew a red "" trademark...
The executives of Liuzhou Wuling Motor Company were puzzled. The reason why they spent money to participate in the exhibition was to go abroad to gilt, so that they could increase their popularity in China.
The factory was flooded last year, resulting in a sharp drop in sales, otherwise this time it might not be willing to pay for money to come to France.
Suddenly I found that someone was interested in the company's cars. A middle-aged man came with a Chinese translator who knew French and asked Garu and the others: "Are you interested in buying a car?
We only brought this sample car here and were not going to bring it back to China, which means that there is only one car in France.
You can get 20,000 francs cheaper and you can drive away after the exhibition is over."
The person who spoke was the deputy factory director of the company. The car company is now state-owned. Before the translator was about to speak, the factory director hurriedly added: "It was changed to 10,000 francs!
Lao Zhou, you are stupid. Our company's cars have not been bought by the French. This is also sold to Europe. What should I do if I scare people away if I offer such a high price?"
“…”
Han Xuan was speechless after hearing this and was amused. To put it this way, it was indeed "exported to Europe".
Benshaming originally planned to buy a car. When he learned that it was only 10,000 francs, he showed his eyes and felt that it was too cheap.
The saying "The whole of France is unique" attracted him, and with what Han Xuan said just now, he gritted his teeth and immediately decided: "I will buy it ten thousand francs!"
After being translated into Chinese, the factory manager's eyes glowed and rushed over, holding Benshaming's hand repeatedly praised him for his vision, and led him to see the car.
Garu sighed and said, "What a pity.
If he doesn't buy it, I plan to buy it. Duanmu...Is it really that powerful?"
"certainly.
This car will appreciate in the future, and there is a lot of room for appreciation. Many people are rushing to ask for it. At that time, a car logo can be sold at a sky-high price.
Ben Shaming made a profit this time. I heard that Han Xuan recently planned to develop a super sports car with a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour to fight Wuling Motors in Akimayama, Japan" (to be continued...)
