[Racing] King of Speed

The young man in front is Sislera’s newly appointed CEO in the first half of the year——Jere Klein. Seeing Neil’s expression, Klein couldn’t help but smile, “It seems that it’s still a good idea to find Old Holden today. It's very useful." He had met Neil once before, and the extreme introverted character of the other party left a deep impression on him. This conversation is so important, and he doesn't want it to be only one-sided. conduct.

And the one called "Old Holden" is the old man behind him. He is none other than the former Sislera team leader and the person who selected Neil to enter Formula One. Horton and Neir He has friendship with his father Aitavi, and he can also be said to have watched Nair grow up.However, Horton does not have as much involvement with Nair on the racing track as Knox. He prefers to let Nair develop freely. Horton always believes that if Nair is really suitable for this line of work, he will find his own way out. .

When Nair was 13 years old, he had won the European karting championship for three consecutive years. Horton seemed to have to face up to the talent of this young man and recruited him into Sislera's banner, but even though his connections in the paddock To be wider than Nock, Holden has not arranged any shortcuts for Nair, and they don't even meet each other often, and Nair officially became the team's test driver after winning the runner-up in F3, but Horton at this time He left the position of fleet manager and turned to develop research and development work in the civilian market, so naturally it was impossible to give Nair any special care.

But even so, the relationship between Neil and him is extraordinary. Although Holden seems to have never given Neil a big chance, no one can help him in life and racing philosophy. By contrast, his fondness for Neir is well known.

The last time the two met was at the beginning of this year's season. I remember that Horton told Neil, "Since you have chosen the same path as your father, you must have the determination to face unlimited pressure. Although I always I have very high demands on you, but I still hope that you can live a happy life, and if one day you can't hold on any longer, you can come to me at any time."

And how did Nair answer, he said, "I can do it." No matter what, he will persevere, and he will persevere and persevere until he reaches the goal he wants most.

Now, Holden saw the blushing but energetic young man approaching with a smile and touching his head, "How are you? My child."

Nair nodded to him, and stretched out her hand shyly to hug him gently.

Horton said, "I have watched every game of yours this year, whether it is F1 or other formulas. You performed very well and you made me very proud."

Neil smiled and bowed his head, happy to be praised by important people like this.

Knox on the side noticed that the big boss was looking at this with interest, and quickly seized the opportunity to get to the point, "Nair has worked very hard this year. Although he is a newcomer, he has a good run-in with the team. Joseph often praises him for his seriousness. .” Joseph is the current team manager.

Klein nodded, "Well, Joseph told me, and that's why I'm looking for Del Rosa today."

Now that the main event is coming, Nair and Horton took their seats, and Clay said again, "I want to hear your opinion on the current situation of the team."

Neil stared at the big boss behind the desk with wide eyes, received encouraging looks from Knox and Holden, and swallowed, "I..."

Klein said, "It's okay, just speak slowly, just tell me your direct feelings, imagine that you are in the P room now, and I am your team technician."

Nair blushed again, "I think... I can improve."

"Well, of course, and then?"

"It can be faster than... now."

"Why is it not fast enough now? The designer's problem? The technician's problem? The R&D team's problem? Or something else?"

Nair raised his head to meet Klein's eyes, Klein's eyes were sharp like a businessman's, but Nair just hesitated a little, and forced himself to look him squarely, Nair said, "...the problem of funds , and the driver issue."

"I know about the funding. As for the drivers..." Klein raised his eyebrows, "Do you think our current official drivers are not good enough?"

Neil thought for a moment, then nodded.

Knox was anxious on the side, he didn't know if it was what the boss wanted for Neil to express his thoughts so honestly, but his hesitation was relieved a little when he saw Horton's soothing smile on the side.

"Then, who do you think is better?"

This time Nair didn't hesitate. He said slowly and clearly, "I can...I can drive better than him."

Holden laughed, and Klein also laughed. Seeing them laugh, Knox also laughed.

Klein asked again, "If you were given a Quimby car now, what ranking do you think you can get?"

Nair said, "Champion."

"Okay." Klein was very happy, "I like such aggressive and confident young people, but if you fail to do what you said, then your advantages will become disadvantages, you have to know that you What are you talking about today?"

Nell nodded again, eyes bright, of course he knew.

Klein stood up and walked to the huge French windows, he turned around in a moment, "Sislera's parent company will have a big change in the market direction next year, so we need to make good use of Formula One To promote our new products on such a large platform, in order to get enough publicity, the premise is of course to have better results, and this year’s mid-level points are definitely not our future requirements. The company has already planned to compete with Quincy’s engine We will sign contracts with suppliers to provide engines for our team, and a group of new customers will join the ranks of sponsorship, so there is no need to worry about funding issues, we just need to set enough goals and reach them!"

Klein looked at Nair, "Within three years, we hope to become a big team that can compete with Quinby and have enough qualifications to fight for the championship. De Rosa, can you help us do it together?"

Nair was a little shocked that Klein had made such a determination, but the next moment his eyes burst into a stronger light of excitement, the champion... Will they be able to get close to that position one day?

Nobody looks forward to that moment more than a driver, and there's no reason why Nair should resist the temptation.

"I can!" he said firmly, so loudly that even Knox was startled.

Klein and Horton were obviously very satisfied with his reaction, "Okay, De Roza. Let's wait and see next year."
