After successfully winning the championship in Spain, the Phoenix sedan is also completely popular in the European market, before that, no one would have thought that this car from China, the first time to participate in the WRC rally championship, can achieve such a great success.

The fame of the Phoenix car also pushed Zhou Jingming to the front all of a sudden, and all kinds of interviews followed, and the reports about Tianming Automobile Company and the Phoenix car also increased in an instant.

For a time, the popularity of the Phoenix sedan in the European market exceeded that of any car company of the same level!

"Oriental Divine Car: Immortal Bird Shines in Spain!"

"New Champion: Counting the Past and Present of Phoenix Sedans!"

…………

The major mainstream automotive media in Europe have scrambled to make special reports on the results of this competition and the Phoenix car, and the FIA has specially published a special issue about the Phoenix car, which is specially used to introduce this car!

Obviously, it is only a race champion in a sub-station, but the current treatment of Jonathan and Phoenix cars is not even comparable to the annual championship of the previous WRC Rally Championship.

On the one hand, Jonathan, as a previously recognized talented driver in the European car world, successfully won the first championship after the lifting of the ban and returned this time, officially announcing the return of the king, which in itself is a thing worth mentioning.

On the other hand, and more importantly, the car that won the Spanish race this time was from as far away as China. Since the reform and opening up, China's influence in the world has become more and more great, but in terms of the automobile industry, this is the first time that China has appeared in front of the world as a strong man.

In Europe, China itself is a very talked-about country, and this championship has given many European consumers the opportunity to understand China's auto industry, and many European automakers have realized the importance of the Chinese market.

That's why it's so hot today.

The WRC Rally Championship is located in a temporary office in Catalonia.

The day after the race, Zhou Jingming was invited here to meet Drucker, the person in charge of the race and the director of the FIA.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zhou, your Tianming Automobile Company's Phoenix brand car, but the first production car to win the FIA A-class championship, on behalf of the FIA Council, I would like to express my most sincere wishes to you and to you China. As soon as Drucker saw Zhou Jingming, he said this.

"Thank you, Mr. Drucker. Although he didn't know what the other party wanted to do, Zhou Jingming still responded with a smile.

"I heard that the Phoenix brand sedan was designed by you, Mr. Zhou, right?" Drucker smiled, and then gave Zhou Jingming a thumbs up, "China is really a magical country, with such a beautiful shape and such a powerful car, there is no car in the whole of Europe that can match it." ”

"Actually, this car has been available in our country for a long time, and I have only redeveloped this car on the basis of my predecessors, which is not a stunning performance. Zhou Jingming paused, then glanced at Drucker, and continued, "Mr. Drucker came to me today, probably not to talk about this. ”

Drucker is also a director of the FIA, and what he said just now must be used to pave the way for something next.

Drucker smiled, "I invited Mr. Zhou over this time, on the one hand, to congratulate Mr. Zhou, on the other hand, I also want to ask, there are two more races in this year's WRC, respectively in Italy and France, I wonder if Mr. Zhou, your Tianming team will continue to compete?"

Drucker also learned from Audi that Zhou Jingming's purpose for this competition was purely to promote the performance of the Phoenix car.

Although China joined the FIA in 1983, because of the development level of the domestic automobile industry, the four top automobile events under the FIA have not been the shadow of China, and at this stage, whether it is F1 or WRC, all the venues are concentrated in Europe and the United States.

Although in recent years, Asian teams such as Toyota and Mazda have also begun to be frequently active in major competitions, the influence of the FIA in Asia, especially in China, is still very small. A market with infinite potential like China has long been wanted by the FIA.

There has been no opportunity before, but now there is finally such an excellent opportunity as the Tianming team, Drucker wants to seize this opportunity and take the opportunity to expand his influence in China, so he is so concerned about whether the Tianming team will participate in the future.

Drucker asked, Zhou Jingming didn't know how to answer for a while, frankly speaking, if the conditions permitted, he would definitely be willing to continue to let the team participate in the next competition, but the automobile event is a very money-burning activity, and Tianming Company currently does not have a complete team establishment, professionalism can not meet the requirements at all, this time or relying on the resources of the Audi team, only barely participated in this competition, can not always borrow the resources of the Audi team?

What's more, Jonathan has now fully proven that he is still the level of the top drivers in Europe, and it is estimated that after this time, there will be many top teams who want to sign him, and Zhou Jingming is not absolutely sure to keep him.

"Mr. Drucker, for the rest of this year's races, our Tianming team, will not participate for the time being, you also know that our company has just been established, and we are not familiar with team management, I want to use the next two months to strengthen the management of the team, next year, you can fully participate in the WRC event. After thinking about this, Zhou Jingming told Drucker what he thought.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force Mr. Zhou, if you have any questions about the team or the event, please feel free to consult me. Drucker also understands Zhou Jingming's situation, and Zhou Jingming also said that he will continue to participate in the competition next year, so it doesn't matter if he participates in the rest of the competition this year.

After returning from Drucker, Zhou Jingming was just about to go to Brant to discuss the sale of Phoenix cars, but Brant was the first to find Zhou Jingming, and it seemed that he had something to discuss with Zhou Jingming.

"Did Mr. Zhou just come back from the organizing committee?" asked Brant with a smile after seeing Zhou Jingming.

Zhou Jingming nodded, "Mr. Drucker wanted me to continue to participate in the remaining two competitions this year, but I refused. ”

"For the time being, there is really no need for the Tianming team to spend money on the WRC event, and it won't be long before the results of the competition here will spread throughout Europe, and when the time comes, the Phoenix car will be in demand. Brant hesitated, glanced at Zhou Jingming, and continued,

"I am looking for Mr. Zhou this time, mainly to expand the scope of cooperation with Mr. Zhou, I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested?"

"What kind of cooperation method?" Zhou Jingming smiled.

"Joint ventures! Just like Volkswagen and your country's SAIC!" Brandt replied immediately.
