"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Bugatti booth!"
Stephen Winkelmann, dressed in a suit and tie, walked onto the stage to greet everyone and officially announced the start of the new car launch conference.
Without saying much nonsense, Lao Wen raised his hand to show the new car covered with a car cover. Two staff members came forward and took off the car cover together.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the newest Bugatti, the Bugatti Centodieci!"
Except for a black triangular area on the hood, the entire body of the car is snow-white, and the Bugatti Centodieci is presented to everyone in its entirety.
Well, how should I put it?
Looking at the long and narrow headlights of Centodieci, Xia Yu thought of an animal in his mind, that is the Tibetan fox, or a white Tibetan fox.
Squinty eyes are all monsters, and the Centodieci in front of us is no exception, and it has an even more villainous flavor.
“Pah~Pah~Pah~~”
PS: The Bugatti Centodieci was actually launched at the 2019 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Like the Divo, it's mentioned here a year in advance. La Voiture Noire is omitted because it's limited to just one car and belongs to the former chairman of Volkswagen. Even the richest people wouldn't be able to snag one unless they bought Volkswagen...
There was sparse applause at the scene, which was not at all spirited.
It seems that this Bugatti does not conform to the public's aesthetic taste, but the public cannot afford a Bugatti!
The ultimate sports car always pleases the wealthy who can afford it, and Xia Yu is just one of them, and he is also very fond of this kind of looks.
Lao Wen also began to introduce the specific background of this car, such as it was born to pay tribute to the Bugatti EB110, and it still uses the W16 engine with 1600 horsepower...
Finally, he mentioned the two most important points: limited to 10 units, with a unit price of 8 million euros before tax!
“Hiss~~”
Before Xia Yu even noticed, Ji Yang beside him had already started to gasp.
8 million euros!
This is the price of a Chiron and a Divo, not to mention the tax has not been added. Double it, who can afford it?
"Want to buy it?"
Xia Yu also noticed Ji Yang's abnormality and asked.
"It's only 8 million euros, the money I brought is enough."
Ji Yang brought 10 million US dollars this time. As long as it is not registered for the road, the cost of acquiring a Centodieci is actually not as high as a Divo.
After all, he plays cars more as a collector. Does he need a street car to pick up girls?
To be honest, Ji Yang's aesthetic taste is similar to Xia Yu's. He is not interested in internet celebrity faces. After having several foreign girlfriends, he just wants to find the right person. This is also the reason why he has been single since returning to China.
"Then let's go talk to Old Wen. He's still lying here!"
Xia Yu said indignantly.
As soon as Winkelmann finished quoting the price, he added that all 10 Centodieci were sold out.
This kind of rhetoric is just to deceive people outside the circle. Except for cars that are limited to one or two units, other cars that are limited to double digits have quotas in each region.
Take the original Divo as an example. It was limited to 40 units, and there was a quota of 5 units in the entire Greater China region. Among them, there were only two in Shanghai, him and Ji Yang. This time, the Centodieci was limited to 10 units, and China would be able to get one no matter how few there were. And he happened to be the largest buyer of Bugatti in China.
Not to mention the second-hand ones, Xia Yu (the system) directly ordered 3 Bugatti sports cars and 1 Bugatti yacht. With such support, the one that was allocated to China must be left to him, Xia!
Xia Yu's position is stable, but the key is Ji Yang's position. There are three other people standing on the same starting line with him.
The brief and powerful press conference officially ended. Winkelmann walked off the stage, leaving everyone to take pictures at the booth. The shutter sounds of many automotive media cameras became like submachine guns, firing non-stop.
Even though some of them didn't like this Bugatti, they still had to write the report because it was their job.
Unfortunately, no matter whether these people like it or not, they can't afford it. Those who can afford it have already caught up. Some bodyguards wanted to stop the two of them, but a supervisor of Bugatti had already recognized Xia Yu, waved away the bodyguards, and came over personally to introduce him to Lao Wen.
"Mr. Stephen, these two are Mr. Sherlock and Mr. Albert."
"Nice to meet you two. I'm Stephen. I'm sorry I didn't see you last time."
Winkelmann smiled and shook hands with Xia Yu.
There are only so many wealthy customers who are eligible to buy and have already bought the Bugatti limited edition. He has long memorized the identities of these people, and many of them are even old customers he met when he was the CEO of Lamborghini.
As expected, there are only a handful of people who can afford and are interested in buying supercars, so he has to get each of them to buy a few.
"Hello, Mr. Stephen. Unfortunately, last time, we even secretly inquired about Bugatti's new car plan, but your employees were too tight-lipped. It wasn't until today that I saw the Centodieci for the first time."
"I see. Then, Mr. Sherlock, do you like this car?"
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Wen Coleman asked back.
“I love it, but it’s sold out.”
"Haha, that's just what we said to the public. In fact, only half of the order for 10 cars has been completed."
Wen Coleman told Xia Yu the truth, that only half of the items were sold, not because they were too "ugly" to sell, but because there were too many people who wanted to buy them but none of them were qualified. They could only wait until qualified buyers got tired of them before buying second-hand items.
