With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more families begin to consider buying a car, which is really helpful to our daily life. For example, we can take our parents, wives and children to travel together in our spare time, which not only saves the travel expenses, but also facilitates us to visit the scenic spots we want to visit. In some emergencies, it can also be used as a means of transportation, which can be said to be very affordable and convenient. Although the car has become an ordinary commodity and necessity now, it was definitely a rarity a century ago. After all, the first car in the world was invented in 1886. At that time, although the car was simple in structure, simple in power and short in mileage, it was a rarity after all, so all the rich people in the world still felt very rare about it at that time, and it was at the same time when the car was just born.

Among them, Empress Dowager Cixi, the last empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty, was curious about many novel things in the world at that time, and because of her superior position, many officials were very affectionate to her and rushed to send her fresh toys, including the latest exotic cars in the world at that time. For example, on the 68th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi, Yuan Shikai gave her a car to experience, and the value of this car is also very high. It is said that this car was hand-made by the famous American brothers Charlie Li Sen and Frank. Most of the car body is made of wood. 190 1 year, a Hungarian businessman bought it and entered Hong Kong. Later, it was bought by Yuan Shikai at the price of 10000 silver. It can be seen that Yuan Shikai made great efforts to please Cixi, and these two cars were collected decades later.

Later, in 2008, the president of Mercedes-Benz in Germany found this car while visiting the Forbidden City. Because he found the logo of the second generation of Mercedes-Benz on the side of the car, he thought this car was Mercedes-Benz, and he wanted to change it to a limited edition car with 12 tons. If not, he will increase the price, but it was resolutely rejected by our country. There are two reasons:

First of all, this car does not belong to Mercedes-Benz. Although there is a logo on the side of this car that is suspected to be the second generation of Mercedes-Benz, it does not mean that this car belongs to Mercedes-Benz. According to the English expression on an iron pedal of a car, what is the brand of this car? Delia? , translated into Tulia, and these two cars are handmade by two American brothers, which shows that the car belongs to a real American brand, not a German Mercedes-Benz brand, so since it is not a German Mercedes-Benz, it is impossible to sell it. Later, after detailed research, I also know that this car is indeed the third generation product of Tulia automobile company in the United States.

Its value is huge and cannot be measured by modern value. Because this car is very old, it is only ten years away from the birth of the first car in the world, so it belongs to the antique of the automobile industry. In addition, this car was ridden by the famous Cixi, and it also belongs to the first imported car in modern China, so its value is naturally huge, which is of great research significance to the late Qing court, the development of modern society and the history of automobile development in China. It can be said that the cultural value and research value are huge and cannot be measured by modern monetary value. Therefore, even if Mercedes-Benz pays more money, it is impossible to sell them. And it's not a Mercedes-Benz product, let alone sold.
