Chapter 132: After the Storm
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Han Xuan received a call from his grandfather yesterday, saying that the auto show, which was originally scheduled to start on July 6, was forced to be suspended due to the previous Pacific storm less than a day after it opened.
Earlier, high-end antique cars from all over the world rushed to California to participate in this "world's most luxurious auto show", which attracted many car fans and celebrities to gather here.
Delicate vintage cars can't withstand the ravages of a storm, and the Pebble Beach Auto Show has been postponed many times in its 44-year history due to weather.
Reporters and spectators could only lament their bad luck, some of whom stayed in San Francisco for nearly a week just to see it again.
And now, the date has been re-chosen......
In the early hours of this morning.
The thick clouds that had been over California for days had finally disappeared.
The sun is shining on the land of California, the water is gradually starting to subside, and the car on the side of the road is soaked for several days before the body is exposed, and the owner is standing by and frantically.
The owner of the house is also interested in catching fish, only catching Asian carp more than 50 centimeters, dumbfounded, one catches one accurate, they don't eat this kind of fish, just to have fun, to relieve the helplessness of the furniture being soaked.
In general, people and animals breathed a sigh of relief, and the storm passed.
San Francisco, which used to be fresh and tidy, is now devastated and destroyed, and only roots are left in the roadside rose garden, and the petals have long been crushed into dust and blown away by the wind.
A group of well-dressed old men from all over northern California, driving their expensive classic cars, to the Montreal Peninsula early to prepare for the beginning of a week of festive revelry.
They received news before the storm that some of them had handed over their cars to the organizers for safekeeping, while others were not worried about their cars and hid them everywhere in person, and they had to rush back today.
Because they can enjoy the freshest food, the most mellow wine, and of course, the envious eyes and saliva of countless fans, which is their favorite thing.
That's right, the annual Pebble Beach classic car tour has started again.
Han Xuan sighed at his good luck.
Although the opening ceremony will not be held again, this year, due to the early date of the auto show, many people are caught off guard and are too busy to rush over.
So on the first day of the auto show, there weren't many visitors, and now, after a period of gestation, they are ready.
There was nothing to pack, Lopez helped him stand in the living room with a small suitcase, his expression was very happy, and after some hard work, the reward was miraculously winning.
Although he can't play with Han Xuan and Cecilia yet, it is not a piece of cake to bully and bully his companions with developed limbs and simple minds.
Thinking about waiting back to the SOS Group to teach others to learn, in this great board game, it seems that there is no difference between three missing one and one missing three, and the future people are not dumbfounded......
Anya was wearing a light pink short-sleeved shirt, it wasn't hot today, the temperature hadn't risen yet, she added a white shirt outside, a Yankees baseball cap on her head, buttoned up on her head, and a few strands of hair on her forehead ran out without talking, she liked it since she saw the boy dressed like this.
After checking that there was no omission, the bodyguards took Han Xuan to meet the mother and daughter.
Lopez went down to the storage room to retrieve the weapons stored there, the hotel did not allow private individuals to carry them alone, for which the manager of the Hilton Union Square personally came to the door to say sorry, and flattered him with a free Australian lobster and a table of exquisite dishes.
But at that time, they were busy playing mahjong, only Han Xuan and the girl were eating, and it was their turn to come over halfway through the break, and the lobster still had a shell intact, and the meat inside was all gone..
"Is Mr. Benjamin here?"
Sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, the entire circle of guest sofas was occupied by them, Han Xuan asked Lopez.
looked at the mother and daughter who were talking, and didn't find that they were carrying luggage, only Anya was carrying a white leather bag.
Lopez whispered to remind his companion that his clothes were not properly dressed, and the gun behind his waist was exposed, and when he heard the boy's words, he turned around and said with a smile: "It's already on the way, and when I called, I said that I was in the suburbs of San Francisco, and it should be almost here." ”
After a few minutes, there was a roar overhead, Benjamin sent the helicopter to the repair shop for maintenance a few days ago, and the storm delayed the return trip, and now he came over.
The Agust A109 helicopter was originally only able to seat five people, but this one was modified, the rear cabin space was reduced, and the seats were increased to seven.
Lopez sat in the passenger seat and shouted to his companions, "Guys! If you don't have a car, run back! ”
……
Located on the Montreal Peninsula near San Francisco, there is a 17-kilometer long landscape that winds between the sea and the forest.
It is a fusion of natural and artificial beauty, charming coast, surging waves, all kinds of strange-shaped reefs, cute fur seals and sea lions, and old trees of different shapes, which makes Han Xuan dizzy......
Pebble Beach is home to six world-class golf courses, surrounded by billionaire villas, and the sky is completely green, unlike the storm-ravaged San Francisco side, and the whole land is green, like the hobbit world in The Lord of the Rings.
Before the Pebble Beach Auto Show began, Pebble Beach Golf Course was quite famous, and dozens of golf tournaments of all sizes were held here every year.
Many people who are much worse than Mr. Han dare to customize private jets, but the old man has never had a similar idea.
It's not to save money, the fact is that he gets airsick, and in addition to being in a hurry, he usually travels by car for short-distance trips.
I set off overnight and rushed to the Montreal Peninsula for a few hours, with only two bodyguards, one driving, the other sitting in the passenger seat, the grandson is young and uneasy, he is old, and he has no grudge with anyone, so he doesn't have to work that hard.
What made him curious was that there were always people pointing fingers at his Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit along the way, and he thought that something had accidentally been stained on the car and told the driver about it.
The driver looked left and right in the rearview mirror and whispered no.
Han Xuan's grandfather Guo Muzhou also followed, sitting side by side next to his in-laws, just woke up and dozed off.
After noticing it, he laughed and said, "They are probably saying that your car is not qualified to participate in the exhibition......"
