Chapter 0719 "The Sheep in the Tiger's Mouth"
After Schumacher's affirmative answer, the rest of the matter became simpler.
After the three of them chatted for nearly half an hour, Schumacher stood up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Jonathan, I have to go back to training in a while, so I can't accompany you any more." ”
"Then Mr. Schumacher will go back to training first, and later we will officially inform the Scuderia Ferrari and start negotiations about your joining our Tianming team, you just have to train and stay in shape, and I will take care of the rest." Zhou Jingming also stood up and responded with a smile.
After sending off Schumacher, Jonathan, who was standing on the side, finally couldn't help it, looked at Zhou Jingming with excitement and said, "Boss, Schumacher finally agreed to join us! From now on, our Tianming Group also has a trump card in his hand!"
Looking at Jonathan's appearance as if there was no one next to him, Zhou Jingming smiled helplessly, "Don't be too happy too early, Schumacher just unilaterally agreed to join our Tianming Group, he is now a member of the Ferrari team, if the Ferrari team is unwilling to let go, it is useless for Schumacher to agree." ”
As soon as Zhou Jingming said this, Jonathan suddenly looked like a deflated balloon, "Then what should I do? Boss, you promised me that you would sign Schumacher to our Tianming team, you can't talk and don't count." ”
"Don't worry, I promised you, I'm sure I'll do it, and before the end of the year, Schumacher will definitely be our man. Zhou Jingming glanced at Jonathan angrily, "If the Ferrari team is unwilling to sell Schumacher to us, then we will directly throw money at it and activate the liquidated damages clause in Schumacher's contract, anyway, Schumacher can't run away." ”
"And when are we going to see the Scuderia Ferrari?"
"Tomorrow, let them discuss it now. We don't have any work today, so we should come out and relax, just take a walk here, there are a lot of places worth seeing. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.
Long before Zhou Jingming left for Italy, Zhou Jingming, in the name of Tianming Racing Team, sent a notice to Ferrari about the purchase of Schumacher, and Ferrari should have received this notice at this time.
Founded in 1929 as the racing arm of Ferrari Automobilia, Scuderia Ferrari competes primarily in Formula 1, but also in some of the rest of the racing division.
Since the inception of the Formula One Grand Prix in 1950, Scuderia Ferrari has been the oldest and most successful team in the race, winning a total of 16 Constructors' Championships as a manufacturer. Some of the biggest names in Formula 1 such as Niki Lauda and Schuckert have won the Drivers' Championship at Scuderia Ferrari.
It can be said that Scuderia Ferrari is the Real Madrid of Formula 1, and being able to become a contracted driver of Scuderia Ferrari is the dream of every Formula 1 driver.
However, the Scuderia Ferrari was also in turmoil, with the lack of a quality driver in the team having not won the Constructors' Championship for fifteen years since 1983.
Not only that, but many rising stars have also begun to shine in F1, which has caused an old powerhouse like Ferrari to encounter an unprecedented crisis, especially McLaren, which entered the Formula 1 race in 1966, and is a big problem for Ferrari.
Over the past decade, McLaren has repeatedly surpassed Scuderia Ferrari in points, overwhelming Ferrari and becoming Scuderia Ferrari's main rival in Formula 1.
In addition to McLaren, F1 teams such as Mercedes-AMG and Williams are also fierce rivals to Ferrari, and in combination with the results of the past few years, these teams have outperformed Ferrari.
It was thought that it would be a long time before Scuderia Ferrari had a revival, until they met Schumacher.
Schumacher was already a two-time Drivers' Championship winner before joining Ferrari, and it can be said that Schumacher is the most promising F1 driver signed by Scuderia Ferrari over the years, and Schumacher has become the hope of Scuderia Ferrari to return to the top.
Although the Scuderia Ferrari has not been able to win the Constructors' Championship in the past two years, Schumacher's performance in the race is remarkable, thanks to Schumacher's excellent performance, the Ferrari team points have also continued to increase in recent years, if it were not for the accident in the race, Ferrari may have won the constructors' championship long ago.
Schumacher's performance has also attracted the attention of the rest of the team, and over the years, the Scuderia Ferrari has received many offers to buy Schumacher, but all of them have been rejected by Ferrari, in their opinion, Schumacher is not for sale.
Today, however, Scuderia Ferrari's president Luke Shaw found something unusual, as he had an extra document on his desk this morning, a document to be exact, a request for Schumacher.
Such documents are not uncommon for Luke Shaw, almost every year he receives five or six documents from the convoy, but today's document surprised Luke Shaw.
Because Luke Shaw doesn't know this so-called "Tianming F1 team", he does know the Tianming team, but this team has never been involved in F1 events, so where did the Tianming F1 team come from?
But the signature of the document is Tianming Group, and Luke Shaw naturally knows it, but anyone who is engaged in the automotive industry, if you don't even know Tianming Group, then don't mix it up in this industry.
In order to confirm the authenticity of this document, Luke Shaw specially asked someone to call the headquarters of Tianming Group to confirm, and the final result was that this document for the purchase of Schumacher was indeed sent by Tianming Group!
"When did the Tianming Group start making its way into F1?" Luke Shaw muttered with the papers in his hand.
In his mind, Tianming Racing has always been engaged in events such as the WRC and the 24 Hours of Le Mans Rally Championship, and before that, there was no news that Tianming Group wanted to go to F1 again.
This time he suddenly signed Schumacher, and Luke Shaw was naturally a little surprised.
"Although the Tianming team has performed very well in various rally championships, but in F1, can they do it?"
But soon, Luke Shaw himself overturned the idea just now, all the people who questioned the Tianming Group ended up being slapped in the face, the more you think that the Tianming Group is impossible to achieve in F1, the Tianming Group will eventually prove itself with practical actions.
Therefore, Luke Shaw did not dare to underestimate the Tianming Group.
However, when did Tianming Group start paying attention to Schumacher?
"Could it be that the time Scuderia Ferrari went to China for a commercial performance, Tianming Group has been eyeing Schumacher since then?"
Thinking of this, Luke Shaw himself couldn't cry or laugh, is this considered a sheep's mouth?
