Chapter 0723 Official Announcement
Such a plan, whether for the Tianming team or for the Ferrari team, is the best option at the moment, and even for Schumacher himself, there is no better deal plan than this.
So, it's a win-win-win situation.
Now that Zhou Jingming and Luke Shaw have already negotiated, then they called Schumacher over again, introduced him to the new plan reached by the two sides, and consulted Schumacher himself.
"If that's the case, that's great. When Schumacher heard this, he hurriedly said excitedly. With this trade plan, Schumacher can not only maintain his competitive form, but also be able to make up for the guilt he feels about the Scuderia Ferrari, which is the result he would like to see the most.
"In that case, then we can negotiate it, and if the contract is to be signed as soon as possible?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.
The sooner he signed the contract, the sooner he would return to China.
"Tomorrow morning, Mr. Zhou, what do you think?" asked Luke Shaw.
"Of course you can, it's a pleasure to work with. Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile.
After a few more people chatted in Luke Shaw's office, Zhou Jingming, Schumacher and Joansen walked out.
"Then you can concentrate on training and race in peace at the Scuderia Ferrari, you don't have to worry about the rest, as for the rumors, you just listen to them yourself, don't mind too much. Don't worry, what Scuderia Ferrari can give you, we can definitely give it to you. ”
After walking out of the office, Zhou Jingming said to Schumacher as he walked. After the contract is signed, both parties will definitely officially announce the deal, and Schumacher will inevitably be on the cusp at that time, and all kinds of rumors will be rampant, Zhou Jingming hopes that Schumacher can properly handle these remarks.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, since I have decided to join the Tianming team, I naturally know what it means, and I also know how to face the next thing, as long as I can show good results in the Tianming team, they can say whatever they like. Schumacher replied with a smile.
"Good. Zhou Jingming nodded appreciatively, "Then I will promise you again, at most two years, as long as there are no accidents in your competitive state, then the racing car of our Tianming team will definitely not become an obstacle for you to win the championship, and I will guarantee that you will win an annual drivers' championship within two years!"
Although Zhou Jingming's commitment is a bit outrageous, because there are many factors for the drivers' championship, racing is only one of them, and the more important thing is Schumacher himself's performance, but in Schumacher's ears, he is still very moved.
"Then I also promise Mr. Zhou that within two years, I will definitely win a constructors' championship for Tianming Racing!" Schumacher said seriously.
At this point, Schumacher's joining the Tianming team has basically been completed, because of the emergence of Zhou Jingming, Schumacher's career trajectory has also changed dramatically, and with the joint efforts of the two, a new dynasty in F1 is rising.
The next day, Zhou Jingming signed an agreement with Luke Shaw at the headquarters of the Ferrari team on Schumacher to join the Tianming team, so that Zhou Jingming's purpose of coming to Italy this time was also fully achieved.
It took less than five days for Zhou Jingming to poach Schumacher from the Ferrari team. After ending the matter here, Zhou Jingming did not rush back to China, but went to Modena first to pay attention to the progress of Lamborghini's reception.
After the efforts of Chen Zhenyu and others during this time, the reception of Lamborghini has also entered the final stage, and Chrysler has also stopped its jurisdiction over Lamborghini.
After a day in Modena, Zhou Jingming, Jonathan and Chen Zhenyu returned to China first, and the remaining staff had to wait until the reception was all over before they could go back.
After Zhou Jingming returned to China, it was the last day of 1997, and the major factories of Tianming Group had entered a state of vacation, and only some functional departments of the headquarters were still on duty, and the group was filled with a cheerful atmosphere of the New Year.
As the New Year's bell rings, the time has finally come to January 1, 1998, and there are only two years left before the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century.
On January 1, when the world was immersed in the joy of welcoming the New Year, Tianming Group also issued an announcement on the same day, officially announcing that Schumacher had joined Tianming Racing Team:
After friendly negotiations with Scuderia Ferrari, Michael Schumacher will move to Scuderia Tenmei in 2000 to begin his career at the heart of Formula 1......
Subsequently, Scuderia Ferrari also confirmed such an announcement.
Although the content of this announcement is not related to the release of the new car, it still caused a lot of sensation around the world, and there are many people who pay attention to F1 events internationally, coupled with Schumacher's special status in the F1 circle and the two parties involved, Tianming Group and Ferrari Team, are internationally famous, so this news still attracts a lot of attention.
For Schumacher's joining the Tianming team, many people think that this is a "lose-lose deal" and a "big regression in Schumacher's career", "Schumacher only has two years left to win the drivers' championship for himself", because "joining the Tianming team, he will completely miss the championship".
In the face of the flood of criticism, Schumacher, who was in the center of the whirlpool, was not too affected, and still trained normally every day, as he said, he would use practical actions to prove that his choice was not wrong!
After the end of the New Year's Day holiday, Zhou Jingming also re-entered the work state, and Tianming Group is also moving towards a new goal.
"The reception of Bugatti and Lamborghini has been completed and is now under the management of our luxury car company, this is the work report I wrote, please take a look at it, chairman. With that, Chen Zhenyu handed a document to Zhou Jingming.
Zhou Jingming took the document and looked at it seriously, while saying, "Is the current Lamborghini factory able to operate normally?"
"Yes, some of the models on sale can also be produced normally, but Bugatti's workshop in Italy, because of the long-term unmanned maintenance, coupled with the old equipment, basically has no value, if you want to resume production, you must rebuild. Chen Zhenyu hurriedly replied.
After all, Bugatti has been out of production for two years, and it is normal that the original factory built by Artioli in Italy has been abandoned.
"If it is rebuilt, Lao Chen, do you think it is more appropriate to build it there?" Zhou Jingming continued to ask.
"If the Lamborghini factory is still in Italy, then I think it is better for the Bugatti factory to be built in Italy, and it is near Lamborghini, otherwise if it is built elsewhere, the industry is too fragmented, and the management cost will be too great. Chen Zhenyu replied.
