0152 If there are no conditions, then create conditions (still every day)
"The track under Mount Fuji is still very good, don't look at the total length of 4.563 kilometers, but the big straight road is longer than the Lingyan track, there are 1.475 kilometers, the main scenery is good, not worse than the Abu Dhabi one, if you say that the shooting variety show, the effect should be good, fully in line with the conditions. Huang Xing said from afar.
"I called them before and said that if I wanted to charter a venue, there was no problem. This thing is very interesting, the two fields do not deal with each other, the surname Jiang and the Honda family have a good relationship, and Toyota will ...... Hey.
Wu Qian had actually already arranged it, but when he saw Tian Yewang and the three of them helping to come up with ideas, he was still very grateful. Tian Yewang is now working in the filming team, and it is his duty to be in a hurry, but Huang Xingyuan and Tao Qilong are busy with the work, he took the information handed over by Tian Yewang, and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, for your trouble." β
"I'll tell you what I think. At first, I wanted to choose the Modu International Circuit, not only because it was big, but also because it was the first track in the Celestial Empire to host F1 races, which had a different meaning. β
"Later, after Jiang Boda said that he couldn't let me use it, I immediately thought of the Zhushi International Circuit, which was the first track in the Celestial Empire that met the F1 standard, although he had not undertaken F1 races, but it also had special significance, but I didn't expect him to have a long hand and stretch it out over there. β
"In that case, I'm not going to the rest of Asia, I'm going to go straight to Silverstone in the UK. Wu Qian took a sip of water after speaking, he was too dehydrated in the afternoon, and he felt thirsty if he didn't drink water for a while.
"You ......"
Huang Xingyuan and the three looked at each other, but they didn't expect Wu Qian's eyes to jump out of Asia directly and run to Europe, and the Silverstone Circuit has a very important position in the history of the racing world.
Wu Qian raised his hand to stop the few people who were about to speak with a surprised look on their faces.
"There's a reason I chose Silverstone, as you probably know, Silverstone has hosted the British F1 Grand Prix since 1926, and later as a military airport during World War II, and in 1950 Silverstone hosted the first Formula One World Championship in history.
Since I can't use the place where the Celestial Empire hosted the first F1 race, I will use the first track in history to host an F1 race. β
After Wu Qian finished speaking, there was silence at the dinner for a while, and no one moved chopsticks for the fragrant food.
"Wu Qian...... Have you figured it out?" Huang Xingyuan asked with some solemnity, a city, a country, a continent, the circle is distinct, and the richest man in a city may be nothing if he goes to another country, let alone jump directly to the West with huge cultural differences.
Wu Qian drank a glass of water, handed the empty cup to Xiong Yali who was sitting beside him, and said to Huang Xingyuan with a smile: "The financial situation of Silverstone Circuit is not optimistic, after the end of this year's F1 British race, the contract between Silverstone Circuit and F1 expires, and there is no sound of renewal for the time being."
I have already found someone to convey the news of the chartered filming of the show, the specific time has not been decided, Silverstone Circuit said that as long as there is no race, it is easy to arrange, and the price of the charter is not much more expensive than the Modu International Circuit, 200,000 pounds a day.
Another point, it's fun over there, it's a lot easier to toss as much as you want, and helicopters or something can come casually. You can shoot more clips and keep them for later, and the money is more worth it. β
After listening to Wu Qian, Huang Xingyuan and the others all chuckled and shook their heads, and their horizons were really different depending on the height.
"Angkor, I really admire you sometimes, this move is wonderful. Okay, the problem is solved, come, let's go together. Tao Qilong raised his glass and said.
Several people touched glasses together, put down the wine glasses, and Wu Qian smiled: "The matter of chartering the venue is not a troublesome matter, and there is another thing that is the real trouble." β
"Oh?" Not only Huang Xingyuan and the three of them, but even Xiong Yali and Luo Xiaxin looked at Wu Qian suspiciously, Wu Qian called the demon and Chase to contact Silverstone Track, and they both knew, didn't the biggest problem be solved, how could there be trouble.
"Xingyuan, do you remember the abandoned airport during the last straight line race?" Wu Qian asked with a smile, he remembered that it was Huang Xingyuan who jumped in the straight line race, and the venue was also contacted by him.
"Remember, what's not to remember, you...... What do you want to do?" Huang Xingyuan looked at the faint smile on Wu Qian's face, and his heart was a little furious, and a bold guess appeared in his heart.
Tao Qilong had just eaten a piece of roast goose, and when he heard the conversation between Wu Qian and Huang Xingyuan, he put down his chopsticks and solemnly persuaded: "Wu Qian, you have thought about it, there are some things that you don't look back from!"
Tian Yewang and the two women looked at the three people who spoke suspiciously, not knowing what they were alluding to, such a solemn expression. No wonder they couldn't guess, but the pattern didn't get to that point.
Wu Qian nodded, and said to Huang Xingyuan and Tao Qilong: "Do you know the situation of that land, can you take it down?"
"Angkor...... You, are you planning to build a track?" Tian Yewang was not stupid, but his vision was not high enough, but when it came to this, he could naturally guess it.
Wu Qian tilted his neck and took a sip of the red wine in the cup, exhaled, and said, "That's right, I want to build a track of my own! A race track that belongs to me!"
Silence, deathly silence in the private room, everyone looked at Wu Qian.
"Ho ho, brother and sister, is Wu Shao usually not good at drinking? Why don't you take him back and rest early, it looks like he may be a little drunk." Huang Xingyuan was the first to speak to break the silence and said with an embarrassed smile.
Wu Qian shook the wine glass in his hand and said, "My alcohol consumption is average, but I won't get drunk with a glass of red wine, I didn't laugh, I just want to build a racing track!"
The idea of building a racing track was conceived when Wu Qian was eating at the track restaurant at noon, but it felt that the action was really a bit big, but then he drove the car and played on the track for an afternoon, and the idea became more and more intense, but he still didn't make up his mind, and it wasn't until Jiang Boda made a move to obstruct it that Wu Qian really affirmed the idea in his heart.
Tao Qilong said: "Wu Qian, I know that you are angry with Jiang Boda, but don't be impulsive." Do you know how much money it cost to build the International Circuit at that time? Nearly 3 billion! Three Billion, and that was 2002, what age is it now? You're really my brother, crazy and crazy. β
Wu Qian knew that Tao Qilong's family was engaged in real estate construction, and he had a general idea of this aspect, so he asked Tao Qilong: "If the Modu International Circuit is being built now, how much do you estimate it will cost to complete the construction?"
Huang Xingyuan and Tian Yewang looked at each other and did not interject. Tian Yewang was okay, knowing that his family background was far inferior to Wu Qian, he had already decided to follow Tie to the end. Huang Xingyuan is different, at this moment he has a feeling of being a younger brother.
Tao Qilong thought for a while, took out his mobile phone to check some information, and said cautiously: "More than 10 years have passed, the land materials and labor have risen a lot, it may be a bit exaggerated to say that doubling, I think the price of about 1 billion per kilometer is about the same, and then the cost of later maintenance is 10 million per kilometer per year.
Wu Qian, as you just said, even the finances of the old track like Silverstone Circuit are out of order, so it can be seen that building a racing track is really not a joke, a real bottomless pit, billions of dollars smashed into it may not be able to recover the fart, and you have to lose money in the year. β
Wu Qian nodded, reached out and touched the palladium card in his pocket, this is where his confidence lies, if he wants to play and doesn't want to be controlled by others, then build his own venue.
"Let's not talk about the problem of money first, what about the difficulties in other aspects, is it good to approve it?"
Tao Qilong looked at Wu Qian's appearance and was probably determined to get it, he let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Wu Shao, we've known each other for a while, and I can't bear to watch you jump into the pit." But since you ask, then I will tell you, as long as you pay the land and talk about it, you will ignore him first.
If you also want to build an F1 level circuit, you first need to apply to the FIA, and then it will have to be designed and built by a company appointed by the FIA, and the Modu track was built by a German company. There is really no difficulty in other aspects, it is money, and money is the foundation of this project!"
Huang Xingyuan sat on the side and watched Wu Qian and Tao Qilong chatting, and took the role of Wu Qian in his heart, and the thought of spending billions to build a racing track made his heart ache, and he said to Wu Qian: "I see, you don't want to build it, just learn from Toyota, it's better to buy a refurbished one." β
Tao Qilong shook his head and interjected: "That is not necessarily cheaper than building it yourself, and there are more troubles. Can you buy 100 percent of the shares? Even Toyota's purchase of Fuji Speedway only owns 93 percent of the shares. β
Huang Xingyuan spread his hands and said, when I didn't say it.
Wu Qian said: "It is indeed a big project, and it is not in a hurry." But if I really start to get it, Tao Shao, you have to help, isn't your family engaged in construction. β
The corners of Tao Qilong's mouth jumped vigorously, and he waved his hand again and again: "Brother, you can have this heart, I am really grateful to you." But you can't live in my family, you better honestly find an international professional construction company. I know best what the situation is in my family, who can't pit friends, haha, don't go out and talk nonsense. β
Wu Qian didn't expect Tao Qilong to be so straightforward, thinking of some tofu scum, he had a look on his face, capitalists are vampires.
"Hahaha, skip this awkward topic and eat. Anyway, I'm going to play in the magic capital for two days, how do you arrange it?"
"It's not easy to come out to play, so I finally asked my dad for leave, and I'll go back tomorrow. Huang Xingyuan said helplessly, and Tao Qilong and Tian Yewang also nodded in agreement.
"To tell the truth, Wu Shao, I really envy you, a big company has someone to help you take care of it, don't do things every day, take two beautiful women like flowers and jade everywhere, eat a fish and someone will help you pick thorns, this kind of life is really ...... Tsk, envy!" Tao Qilong shook his head, he also wanted to live such a life, but his father didn't allow it.
People are more popular than people, Huang Xingyuan and Tao Qilong are not the top rich second generation, but they are definitely medium-level, but they compared with Wu Qianyi and found that this is called life.
Don't talk about business, just talk about Fengyue, it's delicious to eat a meal, Tao Qilong and Huang Xingyuan went to the sauna and massage after the meal, but Tian Yewang didn't go.
"Yali, Xinxin, you go back first, I'll talk to Brother Yezi about something. Wu Qian said to the two women beside him.
Tian Yewang looked at the two girls who were very well-behaved and got up and left, a loveless expression appeared on his face, and said: "Big brother, please accept my knees, little brother, I once taught you the Heart Sutra of the Imperial Maiden without knowing the height of the sky, it is really an axe, please accept me as an apprentice." β
Wu Qian was still looking at what Tian Yewang was going to say, and said with a smile: "Brother Yezi, when did you fall for Zou Tianyang's poison?"
"Alas, beautiful women accompany each other in the mountains and rivers, racing passionately on the track during the day, and racing in the hotel at night, who doesn't envy this kind of life?
"Haha, nothing else. It's about the shooting of car variety shows. After you go back, you will agree with the screenwriter and the director, and prepare for the desert shooting immediately, the procurement of escort vehicles and test vehicles, emergency supplies, etc., and urge the team to hurry up.
The group of people in the variety show team are good in other aspects, but as long as they spend money, they are very cautious, and it is estimated that it is also a habit of raising a positive attitude with tight funds in the past, so it is too delayed......" Wu Qian didn't finish speaking, his phone rang, and when he picked it up, it showed that it was an international call.
"Hello?" Wu Qian said stiffly, he was a strong tooth, and his English level stayed at that kind of "One car cobsp; goοΌTONGPONGοΌone car die!β There is no translator who can't communicate.
"Tired Hao, is it a student in Wuxian?" came a broken man's Chinese pronunciation on the phone, which was already very nice.
"I am, who are you?"
"I'm an assistant to Lewis Hamilton and I heard Mr. James say you're getting ready to shoot 'Top Gear' and seem to be looking for a mystery test driver......"
"Yes, yes...... The timing is uncertain...... Well, rest assured, rest assured, the confidentiality work will definitely be done well, there must be no problem...... Okay, goodbye, and say hello to Mr. Lewis for me, and thank you so much for being the mystery test driver. β
Tian Yewang listened to Wu Qian's phone call with a serious face, his eyes were one size bigger than usual, in the quiet private room, he could vaguely hear the sound in the earpiece, although the other party's Chinese was extremely lame, but the combination of words such as "car" and "Lewis Hamilton" could not help but be shocked.
"Angkor...... You're talking about five-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton?" Tian Yewang asked in disbelief.
If there is anyone in the world who is closest to the seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, it is Lewis Hamilton, and the gap between Hamilton and Schumacher is getting smaller and smaller.
Once the fastest man on the surface even if he was in a coma for 5 years, he was still a monumental existence, and perhaps in the era of the internal combustion engine, no one could surpass him. Because the only one who can surpass Schumacher died in 1994 before Schumacher became famous.
Fate is sometimes so magical, the times create heroes, and the times create legends.
