This Hogwarts isn't normal.

While Vincent drove the prototype back to the laboratory, Eric approached Luca to discuss subsequent mass production.

Costs indeed need to be further reduced. Even with the technical support of the Volkswagen Group, the prototype car has already burned 100 million U.S. dollars in research and development costs alone, and the construction cost has also reached an astonishing 30 million U.S. dollars.

"Mr. Wayne, I personally believe that Veyron should be positioned as an unprecedented top supercar. Its excellent performance far beyond the times is destined to be enthusiastically sought after by people."

Eric couldn't agree more with Luca.

Not to mention 20 years ahead, at least 10 years ahead.

Despite the current economic downturn and the wealthy people tightening their belts, once this new speed myth is officially launched, it will definitely stimulate the sports car market that has been dormant for several years.

"Luka, did you record the video just now?"

"Yes, Mr. Wayne, do you want to start promoting it from now on?"

"Yes, I plan to take the prototype car to Paris, France, and Frankfurt, Germany, for exhibitions in September."

There are a total of 5 recognized international auto shows in the world, namely the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, the North American International Auto Show, the Tokyo Motor Show in Japan, the Paris Motor Show in France, and the Frankfurt Motor Show in Germany.

The first three are in the first half of the year, and the last two are in the second half.

Now that you have decided to participate in the exhibition, you need to build momentum in advance.

Although Luca is a scientific researcher, he understands the importance of publicity.

No matter how good a car you build, it's useless if no one knows about it.

"That curve was also recorded, right?"

"Of course, our instruments monitor the entire runway perfectly."

Eric chatted with him for a few more words, and then they went back to the depot together.

Vincent has taken off his racing protective clothing and is having a friendly exchange with members of the scientific research team.

People who engage in scientific research are often very pure, and their current attitude is even more enthusiastic than Luca's at the beginning.

Seeing Eric coming over, they all dispersed knowingly.

The father and son came to a sofa and sat down.

"How's the car going?"

“It perfectly meets my original design intention, but the tires still need improvement.”

An inertial drift is almost scrapped. It's not that Michelin is not strong enough, but that the Bugatti Veyron is too powerful.

It's hard enough just to withstand a speed of 400km/h. If you want to completely solve the tire problem, you have to work with them to customize a new one.

Eric thought about the funds on hand and nodded towards Vincent, "I will communicate with Michelin as soon as possible. Do you have any ideas?"

"Try it according to the aircraft tire standards. It should be more durable than the current ones."

The cost has not been reduced yet, so it will rise a lot.

Eric grimaced.

The supercar market is really a bottomless pit. It seems that the few dollars earned from reselling arms in the Middle East last year cannot be retained.

But when he thought about the steady flow of orders in the future, a smile filled his face. "I asked Luca for a video of you driving on the track. Do you mind if I use it for publicity?"

Vincent shrugged, "I'm wearing a helmet anyway, so you can promote it however you want."

The young designer and talented test driver should make a good gimmick.

"By the way, Rita is yours now, right?"

"Dad, I suggest you don't follow her example."

Eric's face immediately darkened, "You're used to living a good life, now I can't wait to exchange all your gold galleons for green US dollars."

It was impossible to change it, and the layout of the magic communicator would require a lot of gold galleons.

Vincent's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat. "I understand, since she has nothing else to do recently, she will be very happy to take over the publicity work."

Eric's expression changed for the better, "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to the laboratory to take a good look at the prototype car."

Vincent smiled and looked at his old father's back full of excitement and excitement.

Men only have a few hobbies in total.

If you don't want pornography, gambling or drugs, then luxury cars, watches and beautiful women.

Uh...beauty, forget it.

Eric stayed in the laboratory until evening.

By the time the impatient Evelin dragged him out, the sky outside had completely darkened.

After saying goodbye to the scientific researchers, the two families drove three EB110s to a nearby hotel.

During dinner, Chris had a huge smile the entire time.

No man can refuse a sports car, if there is one, it is just because the performance of the car is not enough.

For ordinary people, the EB110 with 610 horsepower and a top speed of 350km/h is enough.

After the meal, the two dads went to the open-air bar on the roof of the hotel for a small gathering.

The two mothers didn't follow. They held each other's hands and entered the room together. They probably had something to whisper.

Vincent and Hermione came outside the hotel.

The young couple held hands and walked in the beautiful garden.

By the time they came back from their walk, the two fathers were already drunk.

Eric and Chris, who were arm-in-arm, had just walked out of the bar when they were taken back to the room by the two mothers.

Both Vincent and Hermione could predict what would happen next.

The two people who knew each other deeply didn't say much. They made an appointment to go to the hotel gym together after breakfast tomorrow, and then returned to their rooms next to each other.

The two dads had a rough night.

Smells like alcohol and still wants to go to bed? Just go sleep on the sofa.

After dawn.

Chris left the sofa with big dark circles under his eyes. After washing, he walked out of the room. When he passed by his daughter's room, he saw her coming out of it wearing a sports shorts.

"Dad, how were you last night?"

"I just couldn't sleep after drinking."

Hermione did not expose her stubborn father, "Dad, Vincent and I have made an appointment to go to the gym to exercise. Do you want to come with us?"

Chris looked back at his room, "No, I have to bring breakfast to your mother."

Being so attentive, it seems that he has not been coaxed well.

The Waynes also came out of the room at this time.

Evelin held Eric's arm intimately, and the two of them were talking and laughing.

Chris looked shocked.

Just for the ability to coax my wife, I must find an opportunity to learn from it.

The four of them came to the restaurant downstairs together and immediately spotted Vincent sitting in the corner.

There was not only him at the dining table, but also Cecia and Abraham, as well as two cute pets who had been in the suitcase all day yesterday.

In principle, pets are not allowed in the hotel. It seems that the vague magic around is aimed at Muggles.

Hermione walked towards them in the corner.

I am used to seeing employees in formal attire in alchemy shops, but now I always feel something strange when I see these two people wearing couple's outfits.

"Boss, Miss Granger and your parents are here, we will leave first."

When Hermione passed by the two of them, she suddenly understood what was strange.

Although they were dressed as a couple, they obviously kept a certain distance, and the atmosphere was so reserved that they didn't look like a couple at all.

The disguises of wizards...

I really can’t complain.

Hermione walked up to Vincent, and before he could sit down, two cute pets pounced on him.

She held one in each hand and glanced at the empty plates piled up on the table, "Crookshanks didn't cause any trouble last night, did he?"

Vincent smiled.

It and Gugu wake me up for breakfast before dawn, but when I go to sleep, I am quite honest, but a little too clingy.

"Of course not." He shook his head, then stood up, "I'll get you breakfast, what do you want to eat?"

Hermione thought for a moment and said, "Croissant and espresso. I want to try an Italian breakfast."
