At that moment, the restaurant was utterly silent, and everyone's gaze turned to Ye Feng.
They were waiting, waiting for the answer about that vintage car!
No one could imagine what kind of history that vintage car had to make the old master Jiang value it so much that he even said recognizing the car's origin could determine the next head of the Jiang Family.
Seeing that everyone around him was all ears, Ye Feng smiled slightly and then said:
"Everyone must be familiar with Mercedes-Benz! Mercedes-Benz is one of the world's most famous car brands, known for its high performance and quality! Its founders, Daimler and Carl Benz, are also regarded as the most talented automotive manufacturing experts! It was their first Mercedes-Benz that ushered humanity into a revolutionary era of automobiles!"
Ye Feng spoke slowly as everyone listened intently, completely focused without a hint of impatience.
"However, many people don't know that the highest quality Mercedes-Benz cars are not the ones produced by modern industry, but instead, they were the two cars jointly crafted by Daimler and Carl Benz... the Car of Calamity and the Car of Dreams!"
The Car of Calamity! The Car of Dreams!
Upon hearing these two names, everyone was stunned; they knew every series from Mercedes-Benz, but they had never heard of the Car of Calamity and the Car of Dreams!
"The Car of Calamity brings fatal misfortune! The most famous case involved the Kennedy Family of the United States. This political powerhouse family had ten members who drove the Car of Calamity, and without exception, all ten died tragically! Among them, the most notorious was US President Kennedy!"
Whoosh…
Upon hearing this, there was an immediate uproar among the crowd.
The assassination of US President Kennedy remains one of the world's biggest mysteries! But no one had ever considered that his vehicle before his death was the Car of Calamity!
"What happened to the car later? Was it destroyed?" Jiang Ying asked curiously, looking astonished as she turned to Ye Feng.
Not just her, everyone else was also looking at Ye Feng, eager to know the answer.
But Ye Feng simply shook his head and slowly said:
"It's the Car of Calamity, who would dare destroy it! The Kennedy Family simply abandoned the car! In the 1980s, the Car of Calamity reappeared in an abandoned garage; although by then its magic power was gone, its value as a collectible soared, and at Smier Auction House, it fetched two hundred million US Dollars—a price that placed it among the top ten most expensive luxury cars in the world!"
Two hundred million US Dollars!
At this number, everyone's heart at the venue skipped a beat. Two hundred million US Dollars—equivalent to several billion Renminbi—was almost equivalent to a tycoon's entire fortune!
But what everyone was more concerned about now was the Car of Dreams!
And they had already begun to suspect that this vintage car might very well be the Car of Dreams!
"That's right! This vintage car is none other than one of the two peak luxury cars, the Car of Dreams!"
Ye Feng smiled slightly at this moment, equally amazed by Elder Master Jiang's foresight.
The elder managed to dig out this Car of Dreams from a scrap collector, which, whether due to luck or vision, was simply extraordinary!
"Ye Feng, what exactly is the story of the Car of Dreams? Out with it!" Jiang's father urged impatiently, almost bursting with anxiety to hear the tale after seeing Ye Feng's relaxed and unhurried demeanor.
The Car of Fantasy was with the Jiang Family, and naturally, they were even more concerned about the story and value of the Car of Fantasy!
The rest of the people looked at Ye Feng differently now.
Whether it was Jiang Lantao and his sisters, or Madam Jiang, and even the little monkey, each one of them showed a guilt-ridden, deeply ashamed expression!
The car had been parked right before their eyes for over twenty years, and yet not a single one of them had recognized it. Instead, it was Ye Feng, whom they had only met once before, who identified it. The stark contrast in their awareness made them want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"The Car of Fantasy previously had eight owners! Among them were six heads of state and two super-wealthy individuals! Moreover, they all had one thing in common, it was only after acquiring the Car of Fantasy that they began their ascendency!"
"The very first owner was an aide to a German lawmaker at the time. This assistant loved cars as his life, spent all his fortune, and only after being heavily indebted, he finally bought that dream car! From that moment on, his life path changed, he smoothly became a lawmaker, later successfully running for president, and then winning re-election!"
However, just when this president was riding high, his Car of Magic was stolen!
The thief was a Polish noble, and after losing the Car of Fantasy, the president's temperament greatly changed, turning Germany into a Nazi state, then invading Poland, vowing to retake his Car of Fantasy, thus triggering World War II!"
Ye Feng's words exploded like thunder in everyone's ears, stupifying everyone and leaving them watching him, petrified.
"You… you mean to say the Car of Fantasy's first owner was… that person?"
The head of Germany during World War II, even without guessing, they knew who it was.
"Exactly! He was Adolf Hitler!" Ye Feng snapped his fingers and continued:
"Hitler ultimately never recovered the Car of Fantasy, his dreams of Nazism shattered, and he himself committed suicide after the defeat!"
"During the flames of World War II, the Car of Fantasy was lost and ended up in the hands of a beggar! This man's life trajectory also changed drastically, eventually leading him to become a super-wealthy individual, single-handedly creating the European Philip family empire!"
The Philip family, the largest business empire in Europe last century! And the founder, Philip, ranked as the world's wealthiest man for over a decade!
"The Car of Fantasy had a tumultuous history, coveted by countless people last century for its bizarre magical power! This also caused it to be constantly stolen and lost, but without exception, each owner of the Car of Fantasy almost became a powerful figure!"
Having said that, Ye Feng turned his gaze toward Elder Jiang:
"The magical power of this Car of Fantasy has disappeared, but its collector's value is certainly over double that of the Car of Calamity! Especially after so many years, the value of this car will be at least double the final sale price of the Car of Calamity!"
Boom!
Ye Feng's last sentence ignited everyone's nerves, making every member of the Jiang family tremble!
The collector's value exceeding double that of the Car of Calamity means it's worth at least four hundred million US dollars, equivalent to twenty to thirty billion Renminbi!
A luxury car worth twenty to thirty billion, let alone in Mingzhu City, even in all of China, one would be hard to find!
And when Madam Jiang heard that the old clunker was worth twenty to thirty billion Renminbi, she nearly had a stroke!
