Chapter 1027: Men’s Toys
The reason why Zhang Pingan bought these two Japanese performance cars is that the small Japanese models are very good at mountaineering. There are many mountain roads in Seoul and the surrounding areas. It is also a good enjoyment to drive them to the mountains on weekdays. In addition, the small racing tracks in South Korea are also the places where these small performance cars can be used. It is also good to drive them to play.
But if you drive them on a daily basis, they are all manual transmissions, and the clutch is heavy, which is really difficult to drive. So this Japanese performance car, people who like it like it very much, and people who hate it hate it very much. Except for being noisy, there is nothing good. You are clearly driving at 60 miles per hour, but you think you are driving 160 miles per hour by listening to the sound of the exhaust. Perhaps this is the ultimate fun of these vehicles.
Of course, there is another reason why these two cars are loved by car fans, that is, they have great modification potential. As for whether it is worth buying them at this price? It depends on your opinion.
Zhang Pingan bought them for mountaineering in South Korea. South Korea has many mountain roads like Japan, but there are basically no mountaineering people in South Korea, because they prefer to drive sports cars to pick up girls compared to mountaineering.
Of course, both are sports, one is the communication between people and cars, and the other is the communication between people. People like Zhang Pingan who are not short of money sometimes need to rest, so running in the mountains is the best way to pass the time, which is much better than staying at home and playing games.
The entertainment methods of rich people are simple and unpretentious, driving, well, just driving!!
As for the saying that "drivers don't need women" is circulating in the world, Zhang Pingan doesn't think so. There are also different types of drivers, right? If it is the Japanese performance cars that Zhang Pingan bought, it is true that women are not needed, and no women are interested in them. But if you say Ferrari, Daniel, Porsche... hehe. They don't lack women at all!
Zhang Pingan just came back from Incheon and took a taxi to Incheon again, but he could only drive one of the two cars back, so he could only ask the car salesman to do it.
After an hour, Zhang Pingan arrived at Incheon Port. There were many people coming to pick up the car today. Zhang Pingan looked at the vehicles parked at the port, including Ferrari, Maybach and other high-end imported cars. Only the two Japanese cars ordered by Zhang Pingan seemed a bit cheap. They might be much uglier than sports cars from the front, but the tail wings they put on them looked exaggerated.
Many young men who bought luxury cars circled around Zhang Pingan's Japanese cars, some with some contemptuous smiles, because no matter how fast a Honda is, it is still a Honda, and it is definitely not as good as the Ferrari they bought.
A rich second-generation with his beautiful girl stood behind the exaggerated tail wing of the Impreza and commented: "Who buys two Japanese cars, stupid? Impreza STI? Are you going to run a rally? You can't even beat the RS3 and M2 of the same price, how dare you say you are a performance car?"
Someone immediately echoed: "Yes, in addition to the beautiful tail wing, it is also manual? What era is it, manual, human-car communication? I might as well buy a Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe instead of buying this car."
Just as they were talking about this and that, Zhang Pingan and the car salesperson came over. Many people focused their attention on Zhang Pingan. You know, this big brother has many good cars. He has two Rolls-Royces in China, and he also has a three-wheeler! Because people in Korea don’t know that Zhang Pingan’s three-wheeler has been sold a long time ago.
But Zhang Pingan is a top billionaire with a billion dollars, even more than the total assets of the second-generation rich families present.
Zhang Pingan came to the Japanese car and unlocked the Impreza in front of them with the car key. The group of people instantly looked as uncomfortable as if they had held back a bubble of shit. In front of them, they mocked the owner of the car for buying Impreza STI. The next second, the owner showed up, and it was Zhang Pingan who was much richer than them.
If their mockery was heard by Zhang Pingan, he would definitely look at them with a contemptuous smile: "A bunch of scum."
.......
Impreza STI, Red Head Civic, the two cars made extremely irritable engine sounds on the road, and the result attracted the public's eyes. It was indeed a face full of contempt, as if Zhang Pingan was driving a car that he deliberately modified to make it crackle. Honda, Subaru, these Japanese cars are really the same level of family cars as their "Hyundai" in the eyes of Korean people!
Many people look at the family cars that make strong roars after passing by with a strange eye. Aren't you afraid of being caught by the police after you modify them so much?
After a while, a police patrol car really asked Zhang Pingan to pull over temporarily, but when the police saw that it was Zhang Pingan sitting in the driver's seat, they hesitated for two seconds and asked him to leave. Because in Korea, rich people like Zhang Pingan are really unreasonable.
Zhang Pingan looked at the policeman, and he took out the car clearance documents and said to the policeman gently: "These are not illegal modified cars, but factory modified cars. Just like 'BMW M' and 'Mercedes AMG', they are just rare in Korea."
Zhang Pingan drove away, and a young patrolman said: "Why did you let Zhang Pingan go just now? He is just a program producer?"
The old patrolman said: "Haha, he is a program producer? You are so stupid because you are going to the police academy recently. Zhang Pingan has made 1 billion US dollars. If he finds a lawyer to argue with us, do you think we will feel good?"
Rich people can get lawyers if they come, and suing some police officers is not impossible. Korean TV dramas and movies tell the story of many wealthy people’s attitudes towards the police. These are all true. The most bloody example was the collusion between the local police and businesses when the 'Shengli' incident broke out. So merchants became unscrupulous.
The car drove back home quickly, but Zhang Pingan drove his Ferrari to Taeyeon's garage like a porter, and then left the car keys at Taeyeon's house. As for Li Zhien's family, Zhang Ping'an is currently using these two new cars, plus an Aston Martin. Luxury cars are meant for driving to the company or TV stations on weekdays.
It was still early before the dinner time with Li Zhien. Zhang Ping'an drove the Impreza STI and set off towards Bukhan Mountain. He drove such a four-wheel drive vehicle not to run up the mountain or to beat up those Takumi who came down the mountain. , Zhang Pingan felt ashamed of his original intention of buying Impreza STI.
Many people who went to Bukhan Mountain heard the roar of an engine that shook the mountain forest when they were going down the mountain. When this blue vehicle flashed its high beams in their rearview mirror to indicate overtaking, many people with girls looked at it. A car with a huge rear wing quickly passed me and then disappeared...
Many family cars drive an extra forty yards off the top of the mountain, sixty in a straight line. Zhang Pingan drove the Impreza STI at 60 degrees in corners and 80 degrees in a straight line. Of course, all this is because Zhang Ping'an used to run a lot of mountains in Japan and had better control over vehicles.
(PS: A friendly reminder to ordinary drivers, don’t think about running in the mountains, it is more dangerous than racing on the track!)
Zhang Ping'an ran on the mountain trail all afternoon. He personally ran really happily. Moreover, he was specifically guarding the parking lot. Those who brought girls to the mountain to play would kill him when they came down the mountain.
Zhang Ping'an happily played with cars all afternoon, and suddenly he remembered the joke about "7200 fuck him".
When night fell, Zhang Pingan drove the car back, then took a taxi to the restaurant he had made an appointment with Li Zhien. It's not a fancy restaurant, but a spine soup shop. Zhang Ping'an always eats this spine soup every time he comes to South Korea. Because there are Korean barbecues in Tokyo and Shanghai, and even high-end Wagyu barbecues. So if you want to eat grilled pork belly, just have a meal at a Korean barbecue restaurant in Tokyo.
You must know that there are 300,000 Koreans in Japan. According to their population ratio, this is a terrifying ratio.
When Zhang Pingan arrived at the restaurant, Li Zhien, Hunter, and several team members were already sitting in the private room. The spines were piled up in the pot in front of them. Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "Didn't I send a message to Zhien that you don't have to wait for me?"
Hunter smiled and greeted Zhang Ping'an to take his seat: "It's okay, we'll just wait for a while. Sit down, PD Zhang."
You must know that the MV Zhang Ping'an shot for Li Zhien still received a lot of praise after it was aired, because the song and the scene of the MV are very consistent.
All of this was designed by Zhang Pingan, and Zhang Pingan used extremely low shooting costs to create a MV, and he was the director for free, which is something they deserve to be grateful for. Afterwards, before they even invited Zhang Pingan to a big meal, Zhang Pingan went to Tokyo.
So today's spine soup can be regarded as a long-delayed thank you banquet. Although it is also possible to invite barbecue, Zhang Pingan chose the spine soup himself. Anyway, for Koreans, whether it is barbecue or bone soup, as long as it is meat, it is a good thing.
Zhang Pingan sat next to Li Zhien. Looking at her refreshing short hair and completely makeup-free appearance, Zhang Pingan smiled and said to Li Zhien, "She looks good recently."
Li Zhien curled his lips and said, "I don't look as good as you. I see that your face is rosy. Are you having a good rest during your stay in Tokyo?"
Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't have too much work to worry about every day. Look at the cherry blossoms and enjoy the fragrance of flowers and birds in spring. Don't you have a rest after you finished making the album?"
Li Zhien responded: "There are still some remaining things to sort out. After today's party, the team can take a break for a few days. I have to participate in "Sketchbook" after the album is released."
After Zhang Pingan sat down, everyone finally started to use their chopsticks. Hunter unscrewed the wine bottle and started pouring wine for Zhang Pingan, because today was also their team's dinner, and everyone would have a few days of temporary rest. So Han Te specially ordered some wine, shared it with everyone, and took a taxi back home.
Zhang Ping'an took Hunter's drink and said to Li Zhien at the same time: "Is this a promotional program after the album is released?"
