Chapter 0705 - Signing Schumacher?

Schumacher!

Hearing Zhao Ke say this, Zhou Jingming slapped his head violently, how could he forget this great god!

In order to increase the popularity of this car, Zhou Jingming invited Schumacher, who had just emerged in the F1 racing world, to shoot an advertisement for the Kirin car. At first, Schumacher did not agree, and it was not until he test-drove the Kirin sedan that he agreed to shoot the advertisement.

Speaking of which, there is still a lot of relationship between Tianming Group and Schumacher.

At this time, Schumacher had joined Ferrari from Benetton in 1996, and since his arrival, Schumacher has won two world championships for Benetton.

However, since joining Ferrari, Schumacher has not been able to lift the Formula 1 World Championship for the third time, and this year was the closest Schumacher has come to winning his third title, winning Monaco, France, Canada, Belgium and Japan when he represented Ferrari.

Schumacher eventually finished one point ahead of Williams' Villeneuve heading into the final race, in Jerez, Spain. As long as he can win this game, Schumacher will win the championship.

However, there was another controversial scene in the race, when Schumacher collided with Villeneuve's car, and after an FIA ruling, Villaneuve continued to race to win the championship, while Schumacher was disqualified by the FIA.

If the normal trajectory continues, Schumacher will not win his first Drivers' Championship since joining Ferrari until 2000, but the Chinese Grand Prix was added in 2000, so no one can say whether Schumacher will win the world title that year.

'I should have thought of Schumacher earlier, he's really the right person at the moment. Zhou Jingming nodded hurriedly.

Young and handsome, with the halo of two world champions on his head, and to have good looks and fame, it is indeed fitting to ask Schumacher to shoot a promotional video for the Chinese Grand Prix at the turn of the millennium.

After making up his mind, Zhou Jingming also informed the Shencheng government of his idea for the first time, since the Shencheng government of the F1 Grand Prix is the organizer, of course, they need to come forward to invite Schumacher, and Tianming Group will act as an intermediary to facilitate this cooperation.

"If you invite the whole Ferrari team, we don't have a corresponding F1 car here, even if Schumacher agrees, we have to equip him with the corresponding car, if we invite the Ferrari team, the problem of people and cars will be solved, and they can just let them experience it on our track." Zhou Jingming said on the phone.

Schumacher is a member of the Ferrari team, as long as the team agrees to come, Schumacher will naturally come with him, it will be regarded as a commercial activity, the Ferrari team, there is no reason to refuse this invitation, the Chinese market, is it not fragrant?

"We all listen to Chairman Zhou about this matter, how you arrange, we will do it. The officer on the other end of the line replied.

"Okay, then it's decided first, how to do it, I'll contact you later. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Jingming told Zhao Ke his thoughts again, and after Zhao Ke listened, he also said that such an idea was feasible.

The official promotional video of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix was decided, and the next step was for the domestic side to officially contact the Ferrari team, with the Shencheng Municipal Government and the Tianming Group assisting, and the heads of the two sides soon had their first meeting.

If it is really as Zhou Jingming guessed, the Scuderia Ferrari is very interested in this matter, which can not only obtain a lot of commercial income, but also open up the Chinese market, why not?

It took only one meeting to reach an agreement that Scuderia Ferrari would travel to China in October to shoot the film.

As time passed, the F1 driver trial period on the Tianming team's side was finally over, and Jonathan was reporting the specific situation to Zhou Jingming at this time.

"I selected a total of 15 young drivers to participate in this trial, and after a month of trial inspection, there were a few good seedlings, but it was not realistic to represent our team in Formula 1. ”

Jonathan paused, then continued, "First of all, three years is not enough time for these young drivers to reach the level of competition, and more importantly, they don't have an F1 license, and even if they do, they are not eligible. ”

Formula 1 races are not something that anyone can participate in if they want to, and they are not eligible to participate in Formula 1 without a super driver's license from the FIA.

"I really didn't think that into account. Zhou Jingming frowned slightly, he didn't think so much about it when he made this suggestion.

"Since this doesn't work, you don't have to worry about the drivers, I'll take care of it. But then, Zhou Jingming still said to Jonathan.

"Then Chairman, are you going to poach drivers from other teams?"

"At present, I can only do this, but who exactly to dig and who wants to come, I haven't figured it out yet, anyway, there are still three years, so this is not in a hurry. Zhou Jingming smiled and said.

Since you can only rely on signing existing F1 drivers to form a team, the next thing is to become simpler, depending on which driver is willing to try, but to be honest, this matter is not small, after all, the Tianming F1 team has just been formed, and there is not even a decent car, how many people are willing to gamble on their careers?

The time soon entered October, and according to the original agreement, the Ferrari team also came to Shanghai as promised, opening the team's first commercial show in China.

According to the itinerary, Scuderia Ferrari will first shoot a promotional video on the Shencheng International Circuit, and after the shooting, it will carry out a series of commercial activities under the arrangement of Tianming Group, and the sponsorship fee of the event will be provided by Tianming Group, and it will be open to the public for free, so that the audience can enjoy the real F1 performance up close.

After a two-day break, the Scuderia Ferrari also officially arrived at the Shanghai International Circuit to prepare for the filming of the promotional video, and the protagonist responsible for this shooting was Schumacher himself.

This is the second time Zhou Jingming has seen Schumacher himself, the previous advertisements shot in Europe and the United States were also negotiated by Zhou Jingming, a height of more than seven meters, full of blond hair, just 28-year-old Schumacher, younger than Zhou Jingming, looks extraordinarily sunny.

At this time, Schumacher was preparing on the sidelines, and the team staff was also conducting a car inspection to ensure that there would be no accidents during the filming.

"This is the winner of a two-time World Champion, and it looks extraordinary. Jonathan, who was standing next to Zhou Jingming, looked at Schumacher with envy and said.

With such an opportunity to get up close and personal with the Ferrari team, how could Jonathan be absent!

Zhou Jingming's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why don't you ...... I'll dig you Schumacher, what do you think?"
