Professional racing driver forced to debut

The Huasheng team is nothing in the world, but it is a top-level team in China.

If Jianxing wants to join the domestic team, Huasheng team is indeed the best choice, and it is also the most correct choice.

But the Huasheng team is full of various uncertain factors and unknown waiting, Jian Xing does not want to waste time on it.He had to see something practical, something in front of him, something that would excite him.

Jian Xing did not answer "Lan", he chose the Monte Carlo circuit in Monaco, and pulled "Lan" to form a team.

As in the previous script, "Lan" was still faster than him in qualifying, and Jian Xing still did not break the lap record of "Lan".

Simulator games can choose the number of laps in the game, and Jian Xing has always set the number of laps based on real events.

After a game, it takes nearly an hour and a half.

Sitting motionless in a chair for an hour and a half is uncomfortable for ordinary people.But the environment in the real cockpit will be more uncomfortable, and at the same time, the huge force feedback from the car body and the pressure of cornering will always be accompanied.

After exiting the game, Lan said: Do you have any fun?

Jian Xing was stunned for a moment, looking at the chat dialog box, he was surprised at first, and then felt miraculous.

During the one-and-a-half-hour game, Jian Xing did not turn on the microphone, and the two kept driving.

The driving process requires the driver to concentrate on the road ahead, but "Lan" can accurately capture his mood while driving precisely?

J: Yes.

Lan: What's the matter?

J: You guessed it.

"Lan" sent a default emoticon of [crying], and Jian Xing couldn't help but be amused.

Just as Jian Xing was about to type, Lan replied like this: I finished my homework, so are you happy?

Jian Xing is speechless, is this treating him as a primary school student?

Jian Xing subconsciously wanted to have a bad mouth.

But Jian Xing was afraid that the other party would be taken off the line, or he would never dare to play this game again.

Jian Xing once encountered a similar situation. Jian Xing originally didn't want to talk to anyone, but the other side insisted on talking badly about him.Then Jian Xing was not happy, he picked up the keyboard and started to face the opponent head-on.

In the end, the other party directly announced their withdrawal.

On the Internet, Jian Xing kills everyone, but in real life he is cold and aloof

He hasn't let "Lan" see his record broken with his own eyes, he has to protect "Lan"'s fragile and young heart.

J: Brother.

Lan:?

J: Love you. [blow kisses]

There was no reply from the other side, Jian Xing rested his chin and looked lazily at the computer screen.

The status above the chat session box changes from "typing" to blank, and then becomes "typing" again.

This state lasts for about five or six seconds, and the other party's online status is changed to offline.

Jian Xing couldn't help laughing again.

This man's skin is really thin, thinner than plastic film.

Molesting through the computer screen can make him have such a big reaction.

If Jian Xing came, even if the other person wanted to have a video nude/chat with him, he wouldn't blush.

After turning off the computer, Jian Xing got up, stretched, yawned and went back to the room to sleep.

The appointment time with the agency was at [-]:[-] in the morning. Jian Xing ran in the morning and took a taxi to Liyang Motor Sports Consulting Co., Ltd. after finishing breakfast.

Hong Tao is the manager of Liyang Company in Huaguo District, and has rich experience in motor sports.

When Jian Xing came to the office, the door of the office was open.Hong Tao was standing in front of the window with a cup of coffee in his hand.

Hong Tao turned sideways and said, "Are you here?"

Jian Xing nodded.

Hong Tao motioned for Jian Xing to sit down, while he himself sat behind the desk. He opened the appointment information on the computer: "Mr. Jian, do you want to sign up for the European competition?"

Jian Xing: "I want to know the current situation of domestic fleet operations."

Hong Tao raised his eyebrows in surprise. This kind of information is not considered a secret in China, as long as you search the Internet, you can basically find it.

Jian Xing added: "I want to know some internal information, for example, the development of each team."

This is not a taboo topic, Hong Tao said bluntly: "Nowadays, Huasheng, Ying, and Songliang are more aggressive. These three are willing to spend money in the team, and they also get a lot of sponsorship. They are the few teams in all teams. There are teams that can achieve high profitability."

Jian Xing: "They don't lack drivers."

In addition to the Songliang team, Lu Yang of the Songliang team has already quit, but not long after, the Songliang team released a new list of drivers.

If you want to join the team, you need to have a vacant driver's seat.

Hong Tao: "Do you want to join the domestic team?"

Jian Xing: "Maybe."

This idea is just a slight idea, it is not strong, and it is not necessary to do it.

Jian Xing needs a person or a thing to become his unshakable belief, adding a reason why he must do it.

Hong Tao held his chin with his left hand, and clicked the mouse with his right hand: "That's not true. There is another team that is also making a profit. The amount of profit is not as much as that of the Huasheng team, but the amount is not small."

It's just that compared with the Huasheng team, the number is relatively small.

Hong Tao printed out this information, and immediately handed it to Jian Xing: "The profits of the three teams come from race bonuses and sponsor investment. This team is different. Its main source of profit is--sponsors and commercial activities."

"Since the Don team joined the Huaguo Championship, they have never won a race prize. But the Don team is the target of sponsors. At the same time, the Don team also brings considerable exposure to their boss's company."

In one year's sub-station events, only the top three teams in terms of points can get the event bonus.The higher the ranking, the more bonuses.

It is impossible to make up for the huge expenses with race bonuses alone. The main source of funding for the team is sponsorship.

"The Don team has a wind tunnel test system, and their racing performance is at the top level of the team. But the performance of the drivers is not satisfactory. Some car fans have said that if the Don team has two drivers in the sun, the Don team will definitely be the best of the year." The champion (ranked first in total points) team."

No wonder Lan Heng is so scolded. Don's racing team is in the lead in terms of its own racing performance conditions, but there are two rookie drivers who are not as good as the overall level.

It's like giving two rookies with full-level equipment, the rookies can't exert the power of full-level equipment at all.

Hong Tao said: "It's a pity that Huasai issued a new rule recently, prohibiting the team from using wind tunnel tests to improve the performance of the team because of excessive energy consumption and not in line with the concept of environmental protection. This is clearly a rule set for the Don team."

Jian Xing asked: "Which domestic team has the idea of ​​participating in the international competition?"

Hong Tao couldn't help but smiled: "Such a team hasn't been born yet, has it?"

To participate in racing competitions, registration fees are required.Like the Huaguo Championship, the annual (one year) registration fee: 45000 yuan/car/year.

The registration fee for two drivers of a team alone costs nearly [-] yuan a year.

This is only domestic.

Registration fees abroad will only be more expensive, and you have to factor in tire costs, team operating costs, and crash repair costs.

Jian Xing did not get the answer he wanted, so Hong Tao analyzed the development trend of domestic motorsports with him.

It was worse than Jian Xing thought.

From this point of view, it seems that returning to China is not a rational choice.Compared with Europe, where motor sports started early, domestic motor sports are too backward.

The gate was kicked open, and before Jian Xing could look back, he heard a voice that exploded like thunder: "Who said that such a convoy has not yet been born? Hong Tao, your eyelids are still too shallow, and sooner or later my convoy will stop. to the international stage."

Hong Tao's eyelids twitched, and he looked at the visitor with a frown: "Why are you here? Isn't your appointment time in the afternoon?"

Tang Yilong sat beside Jian Xing carelessly, and said unceremoniously, "I was in a hurry, so I came early. I heard what you said just now? Going to the international team?"

Jian Xing gave an awkward "hmm".

Tang Yilong stared at Jian Xing as if he had found a bosom friend: "This ambition is ambitious enough, just like me. Everyone says I'm dreaming, but I must make my dream come true!"

The sinking mind was slowly picked up by a pair of invisible hands, Jian Xing raised his eyes and looked at Tang Yilong's serious expression.

Hong Tao poured cold water on him: "Stop daydreaming. They came to me for consultation, so don't mislead my clients."

Tang Yilong's indifferent look made Hong Tao a little annoyed: "As far as your Don team can't beat the domestic Huasheng team, what do you use to enter the international stage? Your team can get sponsors, all because of Lan Heng's outstanding image , do you really think that people are interested in the strength of your team?"

Tang Yilong waved his hand and said with a look of reluctance: "Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you. You guys talk, I'll listen."

Only then did Hong Tao soften his expression, and he said again: "Mr. Jian, if you want to join the domestic team, you must show your results. If your results are good, there will definitely be a team willing to sign you."

"Huasheng Racing Team has two more years of contract with the two official drivers, and Songliang Racing Team signed the remaining half-year contract with the new driver. I don't recommend Ying Racing Team because they have too many drivers."

"Most of the contracts of other drivers are within one year, and the drivers of the Ding Ding Dong team have a one-year contract... The future team has always had the idea of ​​changing drivers, but they can't find a suitable partner. If you want to join the team, I personally recommend the future team .”

It is the team that has been at the bottom all year round.

Jane knows.

Hong Tao didn't know the depth of the opponent's strength, but the future team was already looking for talents who were eager to come.

There is nothing wrong with recommending Huang Fei's future team.

Tang Yilong interrupted: "Why don't you recommend my team? I happen to be short of racing drivers."

Hong Tao raised his head expressionlessly: "Can I cheat my client?"

Tang Yilong laughed, and turned his head: "Little brother, have you participated in the Huaguo Championship? I don't think I've seen you before."

Jian Xing said, "I have participated."

Hong Tao said: "Mr. Jian, you can tell me about your competition experience, which will also help me analyze the current situation for you."

The word "bar" is very interesting.

Tang Yilong reckoned that this person spent money to test drive the Huaguo Championship car at some racing track, and had never participated in the real Huaguo Championship.

Many racetracks will launch test drive activities, and you can experience Huasai's formula car for [-] to [-] yuan.However, these cars were all eliminated, and the performance was naturally not that good.

Jian Xing: "I once helped the Songliang team on the track, not in my name. Does that count?"

Tang Yilong: "How does this count? This... Wait, what kind of team, Songliang team?"

Tang Yilong sat up straight abruptly, not as casually as before.

Hong Tao also gradually raised his eyebrows, and he tentatively asked, "Are you sure it's the Songliang team?"

Jian Xing: "Yes."

Since the Songliang team participated in the competition, they have only found a shooter once.It was also the only time that the Songliang team was severely punished.

If it is a driver who has won the championship for the Songliang team, the situation is quite different.Hong Tao said: "The future team is not suitable for you. I suggest that you can negotiate with Huasheng, Ying and Songliang teams, especially Huasheng team. If Huasheng team knows that you want to join the team, they will definitely vacate your seat of."

The so-called seats, in simple terms, are the positions of the first driver and the second driver, that is, the positions where they can play and do not need to sit on the bench.

The contract between Lin Xinxin and Huasheng Racing Team has not yet expired, let alone Eureka Jones.Even if the Huasheng team is willing to let Jian Xing play for the sake of Jian Xing's strength, it must be exchanged with Lin Xinxin.

Jian Xing didn't want to share the seat with others, he said: "Huasheng team is not in my consideration, I don't want to go to any team with too many uncertain factors."

Can't even look down on the Huasheng team?

Not in his consideration?This sounds too arrogant.

Hong Tao's expression was suddenly a little subtle.

Then in Huaguo, is there any team that Jian Xing can fancy?

Jian Xing's words can be called arrogant and arrogant, Hong Tao is still thinking about how to say it tactfully.

Although the customer speaks loudly, the customer is God, and he must give the customer enough face.

Tang Yilong slapped the table violently: "The Huasheng team doesn't even like it, good guy!"

It's not that Jian Xing doesn't look down on the Huasheng team, but that the Huasheng team can't give him what he wants.

Tang Yilong approached suddenly with sincere eyes: "Want to join my Don team?"

The words of refusal were already lingering on his lips, and Tang Yilong said as if bewitching: "You are very courageous, just like me. I created the Don team for a reason. No matter what, I will not give up my team. Even if everyone does not Look at me, everyone thinks what I do is impossible, but I will do it."

Jian Xing stared at Tang Yilong quietly, Tang Yilong's expression was a little dazed, as if caught in a vague memory.

Tang Yilong murmured to himself: "I used to be poor, and everyone looked down on me. Later, Tangya Company became bigger, and everyone knelt down and looked up to me. I created a team, and everyone laughed at me, saying that I have too much money. Flowers."

"I like racing cars, I have loved them since I was a child. I like the sound of the roaring engine of the car, and I like the picture of the car galloping on the track..."

Jian Xing's right thumb rubbed the tattoo on the outside of his index finger, and he asked, "Do you like F1?"

Tang Yilong: "Of course, I watched every game when I was young. How old was Samuel Lee? He was a kid, and now he is a famous eight-time champion. I still remember when he first started on the track. A youthful but brilliant performance."

Jian Xing gave a thumbs up, and he asked again: "Do you want to enter F1?"

Tang Yilong nodded almost without hesitation: "Of course, no team would not want to enter F1."

Hong Tao didn't know how the matter developed to this point. Two of his clients actually started talking, leaving him alone in silence.

Tang Yilong was talking to Jian Xing about his family history. He used to be a poor boy, but later he had a lover, but his lover chose to divorce during the most difficult period of his career.

Tang Yilong was in the low period of his career, his lover left him with their children, he had nothing, and he absorbed nourishment from adversity.

From then on, Tang Yilong vowed that he must make Tangya Company bigger.

Later he did, and then he recalled his youthful dream - racing.

Tang Yilong spent a huge amount of money to build a team in order to fulfill his dream of racing.

Jian Xing listened quietly, during which Tang Yilong said that he was excited, and Jian Xing would pick up the words to give Tang Yilong a break.

Tang Yilong also told him about the racing configuration of their team, which conforms to excellent aerodynamics, and its performance is among the best in China.

Tang Yilong explained his future plans and the current situation of the team's operation one by one, introducing everything in detail and without omissions, as if Jian Xing was his business partner.

No one will not be impressed by these data, which are true and reliable, and also the most intuitive.

The printed documents are placed in front of you, you can touch and see them, like a tube of sedative piercing your blood, nothing makes your heart flutter more than this.

Compared with many illusory and uncertain, this is the existence that can make people firmly believe.

Tang Yilong was afraid that he would miss this fierce general, so he spit all over the place.

Don's team is short of drivers.

He also unexpectedly found out that the driver in front of him was the driver who had caused a sensation in the racing circle not long ago, and even if he had finished talking, he would still try to win him over.

Jian Xing finished sorting out the documents and slowly pushed them in front of Tang Yilong.

Tang Yilong's face froze, with unwillingness on his face: "There are still a lot of racing data. When I talk to the team manager, he will send it to me immediately. I will let you see my sincerity. I really want to pull you Come into my team. I believe that with you in our team, we will definitely fight our way through Huasai."

"No need," Jian Xing said, "I am willing to join Don's team."

There was obvious consternation on Tang Yilong's face, he froze for two or three seconds, and the smile in his eyes was like a hundred flowers blooming brilliantly.

Momentary surprises cannot be deceived. Jian Xing still remembers Tang Yilong's passion when he talked about his youth, his enthusiasm for the race, his confidence in his team, and his determination to grow the team.

These are all things that Jian Xing can feel. With the support of sophisticated data, no one will not be moved by such sincerity.

In Tang Yilong, Jian Xing seems to have seen hope and found the stability of floating.

This man had the same unattainable dreams as he did.

A lot of people are laughing at them, beating them up, waiting for them to make a fool of themselves, and expressing inscrutable laments when they fail - which I told you earlier, you can't do.Why didn't you listen to me sooner?

They never give up.

no way.

The development of the matter surprised Hong Tao. It doesn't matter if Jian Xing is the mysterious driver who caused a sensation in the racing circle a few days ago. Jian Xing still chooses to join the Don team?

The two seemed to have a good conversation, especially Tang Yilong, who beamed with joy during the conversation.

The details of signing the contract had to go back to the team headquarters. Hong Tao let out a "hey": "Mr. Jian, I don't think the Don team is up to your standard... and it can't bring you what you want."

Tang Yilong scolded angrily: "Slander my team in front of me? You really have bad intentions."

Hong Tao told the truth: "With your strength, Mr. Jian, you are almost comparable to Eureka Jones, the ace of the Huasheng team. You are likely to replace him as the most dazzling existence in Huasai. Good team."

Hong Tao's words were very clear.

A few key words let Jian Xing know what most people think of him winning the championship.

A little bit of luck.

any luck?

There is indeed an element of luck in winning, but not always.

Jian Xing said, "Thank you, I've thought it through."

Tang Yilong was afraid that Jian Xing would go back on his word, seeing Jian Xing say so, he was relieved without any trace.He stared at Hong Tao in turn, signaling Hong Tao not to talk too much.

Hong Tao frowned, ignoring Tang Yilong's wink: "Mr. Jian, the salary offered by the Don team is the lowest in Huasai. Are you sure you want to join the Don team?"

this is the key of the problem.

Race car drivers are underpaid, which is a key reason why so few are willing to take this route.

The risk is high and the return is low. Except for burning too much money at home, who would take this as a serious career?

The annual insurance premiums for racing drivers are very expensive, and food and exercise need to be spent.

When Tang Yilong promoted his team just now, he didn't mention salary at all.

Because Tang Yilong also knows that his team's salary does not have an advantage in the entire racing circle.

Tang Yilong deliberately made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, feeling a little guilty.Jian Xing said, "Money is not a problem."

Tang Yilong seemed to have beaten his blood: "That's right, money is not a problem. The key is our dreams, and our dreams are priceless!"

"It's impossible for your board of directors to let you spend too much money on the team," Hong Tao said blankly, "so you start with the driver's salary, reduce the driver's salary, and earn more operating funds for the team. In my opinion, this is not for dreams, but to exploit the legal rights of drivers in the name of dreams. This is moral kidnapping."

Racing is a sport that burns money. Although Tang Ya Automobile Co., Ltd. was founded by Tang Yilong, it is impossible for him to allocate funds at will.

The board of directors did not support Tang Yilong's racing career at first, but the establishment of the Don team has indeed increased car sales, and at the same time made Tang Ya Motors more famous.

But in the opinion of the board of directors, it is better to spend the money on the company's publicity and promotion. Even finding a first-line star to endorse is worse than investing in the team.

For now, the main car fans of the Don team are Yan fans, which do not have strong consumption power.

And cars are high-consumption products.

Although Hong Tao and Tang Yilong had a good relationship, Hong Tao couldn't allow his clients to be slaughtered, and basic security issues had to be clarified in advance.

Jian Xing was short of money, but he calculated the time, and his living expenses were about to be paid.In addition, he has never withdrawn the basic salary and commission of the live broadcast platform, as well as the current amount of the bank card...

He's still pretty rich.

Tang Yilong said cautiously: "I will try my best to fight with the company for salary, and I will definitely not treat you badly."

The team's operating funds are provided by the company. If the company does not support it, it will be difficult for Tang Yilong to do so.

Jian Xing: "It doesn't matter, the lower the salary, the lower the salary. Dreams are priceless."

Hong Tao looked at Jian Xing in surprise, completely disbelieving that the words would come from an adult.

Dreams are priceless?

Dreams are priceless, but firewood, rice, oil, salt, and trivial life are all priceless.

But Jian Xing seems to be determined, insisting on this road of no return called dream, Hong Tao has nothing to do with him.

Suddenly remembered something again, Hong Tao called Zhou Zhicheng.

Hong Tao: "I seem to have found the person you asked me to find."
