Maranello is a small town in northern Italy, home to the headquarters of the world-famous Scuderia Ferrari.

Less than 20 kilometres from Maranello is Modena, Italy's most important cultural and industrial city. Speaking of Modena, it is most proud of the headquarters and factories of most of Italy's mainstream supercars, all located in Modena, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Pagani, De Tommaso and other well-known supercars, all of which are headquartered in Modena.

For this reason, Modena is also known as the "home of supercars" and "the capital of engines". Lamborghini, which has been acquired by Tianming Group, will still be located in Modena for its R&D and production center in Europe, and Modena will be the starting point for the revival of Lamborghini.

At this time, Chen Zhenyu and others should also be receiving Lamborghini's assets in Modena.

Not long after Christmas, the streets of Maranello still have a festive atmosphere, and from time to time you can see the Christmas tree placed in front of the house, which should have just snowed last night, adding a different style.

Frankly speaking, Zhou Jingming especially likes the living conditions of many small towns in Europe, especially several small countries in Eastern Europe, which is an ideal place for Zhou Jingming to live, because everything here is very comfortable, compared with the hustle and bustle of domestic cities, European towns are more suitable for relaxing after work.

When Zhou Jingming and Jonathan arrived in Maranello, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and the town was extremely quiet, except for the street lamps on both sides of the street and the lights of thousands of homes, it was rare to see pedestrians walking.

Jonathan hadn't been back to Europe for a long time since joining the Tianming team, and this time he came to Europe on business, although it was not his native Germany, but it also gave him a sense of nostalgia and nostalgia.

The hotel was specially booked by Chen Zhenyu who drove from Modena to Zhou Jingming and Jonathan, and if it wasn't for the busy work of asset handover, Chen Zhenyu would have come over tonight.

"Let's rest for the night, and we'll meet Schumacher tomorrow. After checking in, Zhou Jingming said to Jonathan.

The two of them had been on the road all day, and they were really tired at this time, so Jonathan didn't say much, and after washing, he lay down on the bed directly, and soon fell asleep.

However, Zhou Jingming couldn't sleep at the moment because of the jet lag, obviously his body was very tired, but his spirit was extremely vibrant. The moonlight in the night sky shined through the window, just in front of Zhou Jingming's bed, Zhou Jingming really couldn't sleep, so he simply began to think about the follow-up development of Tianming Group.

At present, Tianming Group has almost all the mainstream models in the world, but the models are too single, so next, Zhou Jingming must use the existing car brands to develop derivative models.

This is the first step in the development of the future, and if you think deeper, Tianming Group has focused on the development and production of traditional automobiles for more than ten years, and after entering the 21st century, new energy vehicles can also be developed simultaneously......

After breakfast the next day, Zhou Jingming and Jonathan packed up and prepared to go out to meet Schumacher.

"Boss, have you said hello to Schumacher before?" asked Jonathan as he walked.

"Before I came to Italy, I had a phone call with him and we made an appointment to meet at a coffee shop near their team's training centre today. Zhou Jingming replied.

The two of them found the coffee shop they had agreed upon, and not long after they sat down, they saw Schumacher in a training uniform walk in.

"I'm sorry, you two, I've kept you waiting. After Schumacher saw Zhou Jingming and the two, he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"It's nothing, we just arrived, Mr. Schumacher just came out of the training ground?" Zhou Jingming saw Schumacher sweating profusely, obviously after training.

"I give myself an extra hour every morning and that's my habit. Schumacher wiped his sweat and said with a smile.

When Zhou Jingming and Jonathan heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other, genius plus self-discipline is equal to mythology, Schumacher's achievements today are inseparable from his own efforts.

"Since Mr. Schumacher is here, then I won't go around the corner, I guess you already know the purpose of our coming to you this time, I don't know if Mr. Schumacher has thought it through, whether he is willing to join our Tianming team?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile.

Schumacher looked at Zhou Jingming with some complications, Zhou Jingming had already asked the same question two months ago, but at that time, Tianming Group could be said to have nothing in the F1 field, and could not even design a decent supercar.

But what about two months later?

When Zhou Jingming appeared in front of him again, Tianming Group already owned the two major supercar brands of Bugatti and Lamborghini, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is not a problem to integrate the technical strength of these two supercar brands to design a F1 car with excellent performance.

What's more, Tianming Group is more dynamic and future-proof than Ferrari, which is too important for a team, and having a parent company with deep pockets is almost decisive for the team's development.

Formula 1 is arguably the most expensive sport in the world, and there is no way to play in Formula 1 without abundant financial support. At present, Ferrari's own operation is not smooth, and the future fate is even more unpredictable, compared to Tianming Group, which is definitely the most promising car manufacturer in the international automotive industry today.

Joining the Tianming team is equivalent to gaining the support of the Tianming Group, and if Schumacher is not shaken in his heart, it is absolutely fake.

"Mr. Zhou, I really thank you for your respect for me, I came to Italy from China to invite me to join the Tianming team, and I especially want to create brilliance with Mr. Zhou, but I have a contract with the Scuderia Ferrari, if I promise you now, it will be disrespectful to the Scuderia Ferrari. ”

After some painful thinking, Schumacher still shook his head, and privately contacted Zhou Jingming behind the team's back, which has made Schumacher very painful, no matter when, the spirit of the contract cannot be violated, which is the bottom line that Schumacher should abide by as a professional driver.

"I know that Mr. Schumacher has a contract with Scuderia Ferrari, and I respect you as a person who abides by the contract, but as long as Mr. Schumacher is willing, I will formally negotiate with Scuderia Ferrari, and we will let you join us through formal channels. Zhou Jingming said with a smile.

A driver like Schumacher who is talented, self-disciplined, and has a work ethic, Zhou Jingming said that he would sign him for anything.

"Mr. Zhou, are you saying that you want to negotiate with the Ferrari team to get me to join your Tianming team?" Schumacher couldn't help but say excitedly when he heard this.

Zhou Jingming smiled and nodded, "Of course, as long as Mr. Schumacher tells me, would you like to join our Tianming team?"

"I do!" Schumacher nodded without hesitation.
