  Chapter 277 The hidden dangers of Ferrari F40

   When Zhao Guoyang came out of the hotel, it was just after eight o'clock.

  Usually at this point in time, most of the lazy Samba people haven't woken up yet.

  Seeing Miss Suzanne waving to him in the red convertible McLaren wearing sunglasses and waving at the side of the road, Zhao Guoyang scratched his head—isn’t this lady too flamboyant to drive this car?

   "Get in the car, Zhao!" Susanna waved to Zhao Guoyang with a sweet smile on her face.

  Getting into the car, Zhao Guoyang found from the rearview mirror that the military attache of the Consulate General, Zhang Guodong, was opening the driver's door of a small car behind and stepped in.

   Seeing this man who has been devoted to protecting him, Zhao Guoyang secretly paid respect and relaxed a lot.

After Zhao Guoyang got into the car, Suzanne glanced at her rearview mirror, then smiled and said to Zhao Guoyang, "Why, Zhao, you are afraid of accidents in my car, and you have hired a consulate guard to follow you? "

   Zhao Guoyang did not expect that the eldest lady would react very sharply, and immediately admitted frankly: "Hehe, it was arranged by Consul General Luan, who said to protect my safety."

"It doesn't matter if I'm alone, I shouldn't encounter any gangsters, but when I'm with a beautiful girl like Suzanne, maybe there will be 'heroic heroes' from your country on the way who can't stand it and look for trouble. ..."

  Hearing what Zhao Guoyang said was interesting, Suzanne couldn't help but tremble.

  While starting the car, she tilted her head to the right and pouted her mouth to the rear, and signaled to Zhao Guoyang: "Zhao, don't worry, I drove such a bright car, how could there be no bodyguards behind me?"

  Zhao Guoyang looked in the direction Susanna pointed, and he saw a black lengthened Hummer slowly following up step by step.

   Indeed, if Suzanne was so easily followed and harassed, then her father, the governor, would have little prestige at all.

  With the roar of McLaren's iconic subwoofer motor, the car flew out with a bang like an arrow off the string.

   It can be seen that Susanna's driving skills are very good, even a bit like a professional driver.

  However, sitting in a car with a low chassis like McLaren, Zhao Guoyang, who is tall and burly, still feels a little uncomfortable.

  In his opinion, a sports car is nothing more than a prop to show off. If we really want to talk about the comfort of the ride, it is an SUV or a commercial vehicle.

  Susanna's home is located in the suburbs of Ibiuna, Sao Paulo, about ten or twenty minutes away from the state capital, Sao Paulo.

  Although he was mentally prepared for the luxury of Suzanne's residence, Zhao Guoyang was still a little dazed when he saw the large manor with an area of ​​hundreds of acres in front of him.

   Seeing the eldest lady come back, the security personnel at the door stood upright and gave a salute to the slowly approaching McLaren.

   Entering the manor, the first thing that catches the eye is a three-story building with a red brick roof hidden deep in the dense bushes. In front of the building is a huge fountain, and on the other side is a rippling swimming pool.

  Susanna noticed Zhao Guoyang's dazed look, she smiled and pointed to the pool, "Zhao, I'll fix the car in a while, so I can come over for a swim. How about it? Are you interested?"

  Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang waved his hands again and again and said, "Miss Susanna, forget it, I can't swim."

   Seeing Zhao Guoyang's cautious look, Susanna didn't force her, she just smiled and winked at him and said, "Well, I won't force you today, go and see my car first."

   "By the way, my mother has already rushed back by the morning plane, and she should be there at noon, just in time to have lunch with her, and talk about investment by the way."

  After Susanna finished speaking, Zhao Guoyang was refreshed. He was very interested in the business of the Baptista family run by Susanna's mother.

  Especially the undeveloped niobium-tantalum mine they bought played an important role in promoting the development of their future industrial plans.

  According to what Suzanne said before, it seemed that her mother might not be able to come back before she returned home.

   Now that he suddenly received such good news, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but be overjoyed.

  The car continued along the asphalt road of the manor for a certain distance, and finally came to the end gradually.

  The estate of Suzanne's family is built according to the terrain, and the planning is very layered.

   Along the way, Zhao Guoyang saw that the various agricultural products and plants planted were patchwork and distinct.

  A large hillside separates the accommodation area from the animals, and the middle area is planted with special fruits and vegetables, such as mango, pomegranate, grape and other orchards and vegetable gardens.

  Below the hillside, there is a pond for raising fish, and there are chicken farms, sheep pens and rabbit sheds next to it.

  In addition, there is a huge birdcage beside the pond, which houses many birds, including colorful parrots, cormorants and other beautiful birds.

   What surprised Zhao Guoyang even more was the two strange-looking samba national treasures "toucans" in the birdcage.

  The toucan is a bird whose status in the country of Samba is almost equivalent to the giant panda in the country of Huaxia. It is very precious and rare.

  Susanna's family can get two, which is really a great thing.

  Zhao Guoyang looked all the way, and felt that the whole manor was full of flowers and green grass. Wandering in it, it was like entering a world of birds and flowers, which made people linger and forget to return.

   McLaren finally stopped in front of a red bungalow. After getting off, Susanna led Zhao Guoyang to open the door and enter.

   Entering the house and turning on the lights, Zhao Guoyang discovered that there was actually a huge parking lot inside.

  In addition to the red Ferrari, there are seven or eight luxury cars of various kinds.

  Of course, judging from the shape and style of these luxury cars, they should not belong to Susanna, but belong to her parents or other relatives.

   "Well, Zhao, that's it." Seeing her beloved car, Suzanne hurriedly pulled Zhao Guoyang over.

  Although Zhao Guoyang felt that it was inappropriate for a girl of similar age to hold hands like this, but she had no other intentions, so he could only let it go.

   Walking in front of this domineering Ferrari, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help admiring secretly.

   This is a Ferrari F40, a super sports car specially designed by Ferrari to celebrate the 40th anniversary of its establishment.

   In terms of performance, this sports car has reached the top level in the current world.

  Maybe only the world's top super sports cars such as Porsche 959 and Jaguar XJ200 can be compared with it.

  Since its debut at the German Frankfurt Motor Show in 1987, the Ferrari F40 has entered the field of vision of sports car enthusiasts and has become the most popular supercar in the circle.

  In addition, as the founder of Ferrari, Enzo Ferrari, passed away in 1988, this F40 became the last Ferrari work he personally led the design and manufacturing team to complete.

  After seeing this car, Zhao Guoyang already had an idea of ​​the problem with this car.

   As we all know, the quality of Ferrari cars has always been well-known in the industry.

   Over the years, this company has been able to prosper and lead the trend, which is indeed inseparable from the excellent quality of its products.

  But I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?

  Ferrari's F40, although classic, has a hidden danger at the beginning of its birth, that is, the problem of gear jumping.

  Regarding this problem, Zhao Guoyang personally solved it in his previous life.

  At that time, when a friend of his wealthy businessman invited Zhao Guoyang to his home as a guest, he casually complained to him about the fact that the F40 he bought kept skipping gears or even the gears disappeared.

  As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is interested. Zhao Guoyang became interested after hearing the words. After spending three whole days, he finally found out the root cause of the problem and finally solved it satisfactorily.

  The friend was overjoyed, and took out the only bottle of Louis XIV at home, and had a good drink with Zhao Guoyang.

   This matter is very deep in Zhao Guoyang's memory.

   Now seeing this model again in Suzanne's garage, Zhao Guoyang suddenly felt that the past was fleeting.

   When Zhao Guoyang stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the Ferrari body and remained silent, Suzanne next to him asked with some doubts: "Zhao, don't you want to ask, what's wrong with the car?"

  Woke up by Suzanne's words, Zhao Guoyang touched his nose, coughed and said, "Miss Suzanne, if I'm not wrong, the small problem with your Ferrari F40 should be a gear issue, right?"

   After Zhao Guoyang said something, Susanna was stunned.

   Immediately, she nodded again and again, and said in great surprise: "My God, Zhao, you are so amazing. You can know what's wrong with the car when you see the car model. If this is the case, then you must be sure to fix it, right?"

  Zhao Guoyang didn't talk too much, just nodded slightly and said: "Well, if it's just a gear issue, then I think it can be solved. But anyway, I have to start first, is that okay?"

  Seeing Zhao Guoyang's questioning gaze, Susanna responded immediately: "No problem, no problem, even if you start it, since I invite you to come here, I hope you can help fix it."

  Zhao Guoyang nodded, got into the car, and was about to start the car to see the situation.

  Susanna also came around from the other end of the car, opened the co-pilot's door, and sat in.

  Seeing her staring at the movements of his hands, Zhao Guoyang secretly smiled, and muttered in his heart: Haha, this young lady probably thinks that I can't drive this kind of supercar!

   Sitting in the Ferrari and pressing a few buttons, Zhao Guoyang started the car with ease.

  Seeing Zhao Guoyang's smooth and skilled movements, Susanna was somewhat surprised.
