Chapter 686 B14's invitation to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix



Sorry, if you have money you can do whatever you want, but he just doesn't have the action to do it.

An F1 World Championship competition involves more than a dozen races, each of which includes practice sessions, qualifying sessions, and races. This is really not something an amateur like him can handle.

After much thought, I decided to just watch the race. It would be nice to run on the track from time to time.

"Buzz~~"

A long time after the Mercedes-Benz W12 drove past, a Koenigsegg Regera appeared on the track.

B14 also came. He came to Abu Dhabi not only to watch the F1 final, but also to discuss cooperation matters with Xia Yu.

In Saudi Arabia, oil is cheaper than water, but in today's world of electrified vehicles, even this country built on oil has to plan for the future.

Haven’t you seen that the two domestic oil giants are also planning new energy?

Under the general trend of energy transformation, even the old energy empires are powerless to recover. Smart people choose to plan ahead and embrace change rather than suffer a hard landing with bloodshed.

He attended the auto show and bought Bugatti's newly released flagship just to establish a relationship with Xia Yu and see if there was any possibility of cooperation.

Although the Bugatti Hiron this time is really cool, he cannot forget his mission of this trip, so he came to the Yas Marina Circuit with Xia Yu today.

He is not as talented as Xia Yu, and he can't drive an F1 car. He can only drive a supercar and collect dust at the back.

F1 is still the king of the race track. Even Xia Yu driving a Bugatti can hardly catch up with him, not to mention that his driving skills with the B14 are not very impressive. He collects supercars and enjoys the thrill of spending money lavishly.

In addition, he is not like Xia Yu, who is a timid person and has never sold any car he bought. He once owned a matte black convertible Venom, but when he got tired of driving it, he sold it at an auction and then pursued a newer sports car.

"Mr. Sherlock, you are too fast. I can't catch up with you."

B14's voice rang out over the car radio.

He is several years older than Xia Yu, but driving skills are not determined by age.

"Then let's rest for a while in the front. I'm a little tired too."

There is no air conditioning in F1, and with the Yi Lianwei being a big furnace, Xia Yu felt extremely thirsty after running only a dozen laps. Those professional drivers who were racing for dozens of laps were probably in even greater pain.

The two cars drove into the air-conditioned P room one after the other, and finally felt comfortable.

Xia Yu took off his helmet and drank a large glass of lemonade.

Because it is still a bit salty after adding salt, fortunately it can replenish the lost salt, and health is the most important thing.

"Mr. Sherlock, could I invite you to stay on my family yacht for the next two days before the competition?"

B14 sent out an invitation. In addition to numerous top supercars, he also owns two yachts, one large and one small, worth 400 million and 150 million US dollars respectively, which fully reflects the style of a wealthy dog ​​owner.

This time he came to Dubai by yacht, and the yacht is now sailing from Dubai to the port of Abu Dhabi, and can be seen from the track.

"Then it would be disrespectful to refuse, Your Highness."

As a wealthy man of the new era, Xia Yu doesn't have a good impression of these feudal remnants, but when it comes to making money, he has no objection to accepting the invitation from His Royal Highness the Prince.

In the future, he can also be the Queen's guest of honor, the Princess's good friend, and a witness of the times.

After running a few more laps on the track, the tires of the W12 were worn out. After replacing them with new tires, they left the racetrack and headed for the port not far away.

Under the setting sun, the 134-meter Serenity was quietly parked beside the pier. The lights on the boat were just coming on, illuminating the entire yacht with a splendor that could only be described as the ultimate luxury.

As expected of a country built on oil, Saudi Arabia is also the richest royal family in the world. The only problem is that it has too many princes, and on average, they are definitely not as numerous as the King of Dai and the King of Ying.

"This yacht was loaned to me by Crown Prince Salman. Unfortunately, my two other yachts have all been returned to the factory for repairs."

B14 led Xia Yu onto the boat and introduced him to the others.

There are thousands of Saudi princes, but only one crown prince. Crown Prince Salman was the former deputy crown prince and a well-known figure on the Internet. Although Xia Yu didn't know much about the Saudi royal family, he knew him.

"Your Highness, you must have a very good relationship with Crown Prince Salman!"

They can even borrow a yacht, so of course they have a good relationship. Xia Yu also knows the meaning behind it. B14 came to see him on behalf of Salman, otherwise why would he, a Minister of Culture, join in the fun of the Energy Department?

"Not bad. The Crown Prince has always been very good to us brothers."

B14 nodded.

This is not his serious nonsense. Winning over some and suppressing others is a common practice all over the world, and B14 is very lucky.

"Let me tell you, although I don't understand art, the painting 'Savior Mundi' that the Crown Prince took is now on the yacht."

B14 suddenly spoke to Xia Yu in a low voice.

"The Savior? The one by Leonardo da Vinci?"

Xia Yu knew about this painting. It was sold at the highest price in the history of oil paintings a few years ago, even Van Gogh's Sunflowers could not match its brilliance. But later, news came out that this was not an authentic work of Leonardo da Vinci. But who can tell whether it is true or not?

"Yes, it's in the living room. Can I take you to see it?"

“I couldn’t ask for more!”

Soon, Xia Yu saw this world-famous painting.

Jesus in the painting is dressed in blue, holding a crystal ball in one hand and making a blessing gesture with the other hand. Just like the name of the painting, this is a religious oil painting.

Leonardo da Vinci created the painting around 1500, and after several twists and turns, it came into the hands of Salman and was sold for US$400 million, plus a commission of 450 million, which is no less valuable than the Serenity under their feet.
