In 1992, Ferrari was exhibited in China for the first time. At that time, the reform and opening up had not been long ago, and no one bought Ferrari in mainland China. Ferrari isn't really ready to sell the car yet, but plans to open an exhibition in China.
But when there was a car show, there was a Chinese guy who really liked this car. This man, Li Xiaohua, not only has to take care of the car, but also pays for it. The first Ferrari in mainland China.
Ferrari also attaches great importance to this issue, and a car acquisition event was held in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. This is the first Ferrari in mainland China, and this great car is equipped with a license plate called Beijing A00001. The event attracted a lot of attention and was promoted by many international media outlets. They figured no one was actually spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a Ferrari at the time. At that time, Li Xiaohua and the red Ferrari did not cause much sensation in China, but they were very popular abroad. This photo and his car under Tiananmen Square were hung in the squares of Paris and Lyon in France and were dubbed "Challengers of Red Capitalism". This car is not just a car but a symbol and identity. In 2014, the wealthy man tried to buy the car for 200 million yuan, but was reportedly rejected by Li Xiaohua. Whether this is true or not, there is still a certain amount of credibility. This is the origin of the name of the two earliest Ferraris in China, the 3.4L V8 engine and the 348 model. Five-speed manual transmission, top speed 275km/h, well maintained and still performing well after 20 years. It will be very valuable to be consistent with the best names in China, not to mention "craft", which is a set of mechanical skills.
Currently, this car is parked in the underground garage of Beijing Yintai Center, the most luxurious underground garage in China. It is covered with cloth, but it cannot prevent the domineering temperament of the car from leaking out! Twenty years ago, Li Xiaohua was willing to donate Ferrari, but he set conditions for achieving this donation goal. "First of all, donations can be made to the exhibition China's Reform and Opening Ceremony. Secondly, there is a charity organization willing to auction it for appropriate charity work." This famous car was signed by senior figures from more than 30 countries. The value is as high as 200 million yuan.
It has always been Li Xiaohua’s ideal to establish a charity fund. Li Xiaohua told Ci Media's "Chinese Philanthropist": "Wealth comes from society and should be used for society. Do more charity so that the life of an entrepreneur will not be wasted." He did not leave much wealth for his daughter. “She is a very low-key person and she only hopes to have enough wealth to live on, which only accounts for a very small part of my wealth.

Amidst the increasingly stringent environmental protection policies and mandatory disposal regulations related to cars, the car is in good condition, but rumors of demolition and forced disposal are often circulated, and the sad ending is inevitable!< /p>
