Chapter 814 Signing Martin
Although the final result does not seem to be very good, the pressure is definitely there.
Big E's retirement is apparently equivalent to Martin having a way out. If you don't want me, I will leave immediately and my retreat is ready.
Martin's agent was also present during the negotiation. Jiang Yue sat with him, while Qin Chuan sat with Martin and a few others. There were a lot of things on the table, which were obviously prepared in advance.
As soon as he sat down, Martin spoke almost without reservation.
"Chuan, I know you have a strong background, so I don't have to worry too much about your salary. So now I prefer your team rather than Aprilia. I must make this clear to you."
"However, I need you to give me a decision. Which racing car supplier will you choose next year? And whether you will really set up a team in the GP group? This is something I have been worried about."
Martin spoke standard Dongya dialect. Big E must have told him that Qin Chuan could understand their native language.
When he spoke, his tone did not hide his anxiety at all, and he was extremely anxious.
Qin Chuan was not surprised by this. Martin was not a popular person in GP, but he was a very genuine person. To use the Chinese saying, he had no ulterior motives.
People like this speak directly and can be very annoying at times, but they are not bad people.
Qin Chuan picked up the water he had caught up with and took a sip, listening to Martin while drinking.
They had already had a brief conversation on the phone before coming, and he roughly guessed the purpose of Martin's visit.
The probability is to confirm this point.
As for money, as Martin said, he doesn't need to worry. The other thing to worry about is whether he is just talking nonsense. If he is talking nonsense, then the transfer next year is nonsense.
Qin Chuan understood this point, and if he were in his shoes, he would also ask the same question.
In addition, the last point is the choice of racing car.
Setting up an independent racing team is one thing, and choosing which brand of racing car to use is another. If it is a Yamaha or Honda racing car, then there is no need for Martin to come.
He can accept European car if the salary is high, but R car.......
After Martin finished speaking, Qin Chuan thought for a moment and then spoke.
“I will definitely set up the team. As for the car, don’t worry. Although I haven’t decided yet, I will definitely choose between Ducati and KTM in the end.”
"If it's a KTM, you might get a new bike and you might be the one driving it."
"These are all necessary conditions for our cooperation, and you are currently my first choice for cooperation."
Qin Chuan did not hide anything about his first choice. There was nothing to hide. Currently, the only top driver who could transfer was Martin.
As for the racing car, Qin Chuan's initial plan was to use a Ducati racing car. The reason was that the Ducati racing car was more convenient and he could achieve it with a little bit of trickery.
But there is also a disadvantage, which is that your identity will inevitably be exposed. Even if you can conceal it, it will be very troublesome.
The other one is KTM.
This is a recent idea and a new plan.
The last time the KTM boss learned that he was going to set up a satellite team, he also lobbied him, and one of the conditions was that he would be given a new model of racing car.
KTM has a new plan for next year, which is to provide the satellite team with a new racing car, which is the RC16 with the same configuration as the factory team.
This has actually been done this year. For example, Acosta's racing car is essentially not much different from a new car, and his treatment is much better than when Qin Chuan was in Satellite.
In addition to KTM, the satellite team next door to Aprilia may also provide new racing cars. This is the policy made by these two European factories in order to catch up with Ducati.
Having four genuine cars on the field at the same time will improve the collection of data and allow the team to improve faster, but of course it will also increase the cost of the car manufacturer.
All in all, he now has one more choice.
In terms of identity, if Ducati's new car is developed, it will undoubtedly attract attention, and KTM is not out of the question.
"If you sign the contract now, can you guarantee these?"
Hearing Qin Chuan's answer, Martin nodded, as if relieved. He didn't say anything else, but looked at Big E on the side. Big E nodded, and the two exchanged glances.
Martin himself knows that he can accept anything other than R factory, even if Qinchuan's racing team will still use Ducati racing cars in the future.
He only said that he would not stay at Prancing Horse for the second year, not that he would definitely leave the Ducati camp.
The reason he left was not only because he did not join the factory team, but more because Ducati's satellite salary was too low.
If his salary is sufficient, he naturally hopes to own a competitive racing car, or even a racing car that he is familiar with.
Of course, if the Ducati executives knew about this idea, they probably wouldn't be so troubled. They could just let Qin Chuan set up a satellite and take Martin away. This way, at least Martin's talent wouldn't be lost.
But who knows which team Qin Chuan will choose? Even Martin and Big E didn't know that he considered Ducati unless they asked Qin Chuan, let alone Ducati itself.
There is a reason for this. Ducati already has eight satellite bikes, and it would be very difficult to add another one, and the racing organizers would basically not agree.
So Ducati itself didn't think of this.
"So anxious?"
Now it was Qin Chuan's turn to wonder. Was Martin a little too anxious? It was only the beginning of the season. From the sound of it, did he want to sign the contract now?
Do you have to be so anxious? Why don't you just wait and see?
"Um, Chuan, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, the factory team hasn't made a clear choice, but I really don't like the feeling of being dragged on, so... you know."
Martin gave an embarrassed look.
Qin Chuan understood it immediately and sighed in his heart. It seemed that Ducati had not made a decision yet, but it was likely that they had put forward some conditions. Martin did not say it explicitly, but it was no different from a rejection.
Martin is certainly not in a position to say what the condition is, but according to his guess, Martin must achieve certain results to finally be able to enter the factory team. It is very likely that it will be the same as last year, winning the world championship, then he will get a place in the factory team.
Regardless of whether he can do it, Martin is probably tired of playing this game every year, so he might as well just leave this time to save face for himself.
"I can give you a contract and put it on it, but you have to give me a deadline."
"Don't worry Chuan, I will finish it as soon as possible, and I will give you a definite answer in a month at most."
Seeing Martin nod, Qin Chuan nodded directly towards Jiang Yue, and then Jiang Yue took out a paper contract from his briefcase, which was obviously prepared in advance.
Martin was a little surprised by this, but Big E, who had been silent, was not surprised. He had heard about Qin Chuan setting up a racing team a long time ago. With his familiarity with GP, he had guessed that Qin Chuan would definitely come to the GP group to set up a racing team next year.
He was not surprised to prepare the contract in advance.
As for the reason, it was based on his familiarity with the process of establishing a GP team. It was said that the application for the team had been approved, and the only thing left was the sponsor issue. After the sponsor issue was resolved, as long as the team met the standards of the event, the team could be established.
But judging from the traffic in the paddock, it is not difficult to find a few sponsors in China with Qin Chuan's influence.
This is different from their Dongya, where one-third of the drivers in the paddock are from Dongya, and Dongya sponsors also occupy the majority, which can be said to be saturated.
Even though the eight-time champion has great influence in Eastern Europe, it is still difficult to attract a group of sponsors in China.
On the other hand, Qin Chuan, regardless of his background, the current empty market environment in the Chinese racing field also makes it easier to find sponsors.
Having sponsors means making money, and who can resist money? The team will definitely be established very early.
After receiving the contract, Martin glanced at it and asked his agent to keep it. The rest of the time, the few of them were not idle, and they went outside to run a few rounds of go-karts together.
Big E invited Martin and Qin Chuan to participate.
Qin Chuan almost forgot that this was a karting club.
The three of us booked the entire place in the afternoon.
Those who drive four-wheelers may not necessarily drive two-wheelers, but those who drive two-wheelers will definitely like four-wheelers.
This round of karting PK lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and Qin Chuan won in the end.
After getting tired of playing, Qin Chuan said goodbye to the two of them and left with Jiang Yue.
The day was not without results, at least the three of them became closer.
