Chapter 730: Actually Play Real (Brothers, Ask for a Monthly Pass and Ask for Subscription Support)
Just when the European media was still analyzing and arguing whether the news that AMC was going to participate in next year's WRC event was Chen Geng's bragging, an explosive news came: Fiat WRC team manager Leclerc Horner resigned as team manager and went to work as team manager for the AMC Automotive WRC team.
In the face of this sudden news, the European media who have wantonly ridiculed AMC for this time are dumbfounded: Damn! Is it really fake? No kidding?
After confirming the authenticity of this news, the European media without exception gritted their teeth: Fernandez Chen's arrogant bastard, and AMC's dirt bun, they actually played for real?!
It's so dull on my face.
Immediately, a reporter went to interview Jack Welch, who was in Germany.
Facing the reporter's camera, Jack Welch first admitted that it was true, and AMC did send an invitation to Mr. ClΓ©clere Horner to hire him as the manager of the AMC team, and then said that there was no comment on other issues, and for some specific news that everyone is concerned about, including the construction of the team, AMC will hold a press conference three days later to answer relevant questions from the media - at this time, how can you be on the hot news without hanging the appetite of the media and readers?
Since there is no more news from Jack Welch, the Fiat team, which is still in Argentina, is sad.
Before the start of the Cordoba race, the Fiat team's press briefing completely changed its flavor, and the reporters mentioned that the problems were all AMC, Leclerc Horner and Chen Geng, and Pacino, who had just been promoted from team leader to interim manager of the team, wanted to die, because almost no reporters cared about the Fiat team's plans and arrangements for this race, and the whole press briefing was as follows......
"Mr. Pacino, may I ask if Leclerc Horner has really resigned from Fiat?"
"Yes, Mr. Horner has formally submitted his application to the Fiat Group Board of Directors and his resignation has been approved by the Group Board of Directors......"
The reporters did not give Pacino face at all, and immediately interrupted him: "Then why did the board of directors of the Fiat Group make the decision to agree to Mr. Horner's resignation so quickly?
"No, there is no such thing, Mr. Horner's contribution to the team, the achievements of the team are obvious to all, Mr. Horner's decision is his personal choice, although the group board of directors is very sorry for this, but after confirming that Mr. Horner's decision has been decided, the board of directors can only bless him, respect Mr. Horner's choice, and wish him more brilliant results in the new professional student......"
This false blessing!
A strong smell of plastic spreads through the air.
Who wants to hear this?!
Who's interested in this?!
The reporters pouted vigorously when they listened: What everyone wants to hear is not this kind of official tone, we want to listen to more exciting things!
"But isn't it tellingly clear that the Fiat Group Board of Directors has agreed to Mr. Horner's resignation so quickly?" A reporter immediately shouted: "Why did the Board of Directors of the Group not even retain him, so he was so impatient to agree to Mr. Horner's application?"
According to the normal procedure, even if the board of directors of the Fiat Group is not satisfied with Leclerc Horner's results, it should be symbolically retained, and then Leclerc firmly said that he wants to resign, and then the board of directors of the Fiat Group will say "Mr. Horner has higher goals and pursuits, we can only respect his decision, and wish him greater ......success on the new road", in order to show that we are a humane company. Are we grateful for what Mr. Horner has done for the team over the years, and what the hell is it that he hasn't even done a symbolic retention?
They are all perennial media workers, and of course the journalists know that there is a story in it, and that's what they want!
β......β
Pacino was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say?
Why did the board of directors of the group not even make a symbolic retention, and directly agreed to the resignation application of his predecessor, where does this old man know?
Frankly speaking, he also thinks that the board of directors of the group is not authentic and makes people feel a little cold, but this kind of thing can be casually beaked by a small team leader?
In the end, the news briefing will end with Pacino's angry departure, but for these media outlets who "watch the excitement and fear that things are not big enough", it is enough!
Although Leclerc Horner's performance in the past two years has declined a lot compared with before, the calm and rational media actually know that Leclerc Horner cannot be blamed for the decline in the performance of the Fiat team, the power struggle within the Fiat Group and the reduction of investment in the team's funds are the main factors, as for Leclerc Horner, no one will doubt his ability and ability.
Joke!
You were given a team championship and three drivers' championships for nothing?
Under their brilliant pen, they can write one vivid and poignant gossip about the stock market after another, and then earn a wave of sales, get a lot of bonuses, and then get a promotion and a raise......
As for the AMC company that has repeatedly "made trouble", to be honest, don't look at everyone's scolding, but in fact, everyone wishes that they would do more and bigger things.
Why?
Reporting on AMC, a group of local buns from the United States, the newspaper has sales, the news is read, and I no longer have to be anxious to find news, as long as I follow AMC, bonuses, salary increases or anything is not a dream at all, and even in the eyes of many reporters, AMC is a mobile news station, if AMC doesn't do news one day, they are not happy.

When the media throughout Europe is "That group of Yankees who don't know the height of the sky is really rich and have a fever, and they plan to use the money to waste it, wahahaha...... It's really a laugh to death......" to discuss AMC's entry into the World Rally Championship, Chen Geng and Leclerc Horner have arrived at the "Devil's Claw" headquarters to discuss the technical details of the car modification.
"With the help of Cosworth and Prodrive on both sides of the engine and chassis, I have nothing to worry about," Leclerc Horner said.
The R&D and manufacturing of a racing car for professional racing has never been the result of the manufacturer's own closed-door construction, and requires the full cooperation and cooperation of various spare parts suppliers, such as the need for tire manufacturers to provide special racing tires, and even the need for tire manufacturers to produce exclusive formulas of high-performance competition-grade professional tires for you, for example, the need for shock absorber manufacturers and brake system manufacturers to customize the shock absorbers and brakes you need according to your requirements......
On a professional racing car, as large as a component and as small as a screw are special and customized products, and it is these details that determine the final result of a racing car.
As the manager of the AMC team, Leclerc Horner is naturally well aware of this, and he is most concerned about this.
"You can rest assured of this," Chen Geng smiled: "Leclerc, you must know that my 'devil's claw' is the largest and most powerful comprehensive automobile modification factory in the United States, and has good cooperative relations with the world's top auto parts manufacturers, Goodyear, Michelin, Ollins, IHI...... These companies are our partners, and I've spoken to them before, so don't worry, whatever you need, I'll find it for you. β
"Shh......h Then I'm relieved, and then there's another question," Leclerc Horner breathed a sigh of relief: "Wind tunnel, can you solve the wind tunnel?"
Leclerc Horner explained: "We have a lot of time in the wind tunnel, and the shape of the outer surface of a WRC is not just a few blows, it usually takes 150 to 200 hours, and if it doesn't go well, 300 hours is possible. β
Chen Geng naturally knows this truth, WRC racing cars in the competition, the speed is basically more than 200 kilometers per hour, to be at such a high speed also requires the car to be accurate and controllable, naturally put forward higher requirements for the aerodynamic design of the car, and how to design a more in line with the dynamic characteristics of the external surface?
In addition to accurate calculations, blow tunnels!
No matter how accurate the calculation is, it also needs to be verified in the wind tunnel.
He said happily: "No problem! As long as there is a real demand in terms of design, you can blow as long as you want, and if you can't do it, you can directly wrap up a wind tunnel for you to blow hard." β
"Wrap up a wind tunnel?!"
Leclerc Horner's eyes were straight when he listened: Wrap up a wind tunnel? He has never heard of any company's wind tunnels that can be directly packed, in the whole of Europe, there are only a few wind tunnels, everyone makes an appointment months in advance, and the time for each wind tunnel is only a few hours, and now you say that it is directly packed?!
Leclerc Horner thought this was too exaggerated, and he cautiously asked, "Are you talking about AMC's own wind tunnel?
Other than that, Leclerc Horner really couldn't figure out how he could "wrap up" the wind tunnel.
"Of course not," Chen Geng waved his hand: "You should know that I have a good relationship with Huaxia, there are many wind tunnels in Huaxia, if you are sure that there is a real need, I can pre-rent a wind tunnel through Huaxia's relationship, rent for three months, this wind tunnel is only for you in these three months, it should be enough, right?"
