"Do you think I don't want to? If it weren't for my partner's efforts to stop me, I guess I would have been able to beat those two islanders into pigs' heads on the spot!" Zuo Longxin said through gritted teeth, and after speaking, he shook his head lightly: " But Qingcheng said to me, no matter what, the two of us are motorcycle riders representing the national team after all, although fighting is more quick and revenge, but after all, it is not decent enough, isn't there a racing driver from an island country among the two goods, as a professional racing driver representing the national team, the best way to fight back is to win them on the track!"

Xiao Nan nodded lightly: "Well, your partner is very cool-headed, I think he is right, winning those little devils on the track is the most appropriate response for a racing driver!"

"Do you think so too?" Zuo Longxin smiled: "It seems that my temper is indeed too impulsive......

"No, it's not a matter of your temper, if it's in a more private occasion, I have to beat him up if the goods change and beat him until he is served!" Xiao Nan said and shook her little fist that was as white as jade at Zuo Longxin. "However, in front of so many sports reporters and industry insiders on the field, as a player representing the national team, it is really not suitable to do it, and if you want to play, you have to find a place with fewer people, right?"

Zuo Longxin nodded: "You're right...... Under Qingcheng's persuasion, I suppressed my anger at that time and asked him to tell the driver of that island country in person that I Zuo Longxin would definitely win him in this competition!"

"Did that guy accept your challenge?" Xiao Nan hurriedly asked.

"Well, the island rider didn't take the two of us seriously at all, because he claimed to be a regular in the world-class motorcycle races, and he didn't take the two of us nobodies seriously, so he accepted my challenge with confidence. Zuo Longxin tilted his neck and drank the remaining coffee in the cup, put down the empty cup, and unconsciously raised his voice and said: "And he also made a bet with me in public in English, saying that if he loses, he will immediately retire and leave the professional racing world forever, but if we lose, we will ......."

"That's it?"

"I have to kneel down and apologize to him in public!"

"This bastard!" Xiao Nan couldn't help but scold. "You bet on him, didn't you?"

Zuo Longxin nodded. "Of course, this has come to this, and there is no way back for both sides. Considering the fame and level of the island drivers, if you want to take revenge on the other side or at least not disgrace yourself, you can only fight for your life in the race...... So on the day of the official race, Qingcheng and I seemed to be dying, and we challenged the limits of various technical moves on the track regardless of life and death, and perhaps it was at that time that the balance of victory began to tilt in our favor - the results of the qualifying round were very favorable for Qingcheng and I to get a very favorable starting position, and in the final final, we both miraculously achieved third and fifth place results......"

Zuo Longxin said it lightly, and he brushed aside all kinds of hardships and dangers in the process of the game, but Xiao Nan could still imagine the tragedy and tragedy of the desperate battle between the two during the game. "That'...... And then what?"

"After the race, we went to the island player and asked him to cash in on his bet immediately, as he only finished seventh in that fight...... When Qingcheng questioned the guy in the rusty island Chinese, the guy even refused to admit it - he quibbled that although the two of us had achieved better results than him, we won in a modified commercial race car produced by their island country, so even if we win, he would not be a real skill, and unless we beat him in a Chinese-made race car, he would admit that he really lost......"

"Shameless!" Xiao Nan gritted his teeth and scolded: "This guy is really shameless!"

Zuo Longxin sighed lightly, and said helplessly: "That guy is indeed very shameless, but what he said is not completely unreasonable - especially me, because my old man's Zongxin Group is the first-class locomotive manufacturer in China, but the highest-grade locomotive style we can produce is just a two-cylinder 250 displacement civilian car, a four-cylinder large-displacement sports car that meets the standard of competition cars, we haven't even thought about it......"

"That'...... The ...... of the gambling contract"

"The horizontal is afraid of the Leng, the Leng's is afraid of the lifeless, the lifeless is afraid of the shameless ......" Zuo Longxin spread his hands and said very untempered: "The island driver is a shameless one, so the gambling contract can only be stopped, bet on this kind of thing, is there any black and white paper, can we still sue him in court?"

"Oh......" Although he knew that it would be such a result, Xiao Nan still had some small disappointment in his heart. She subconsciously picked up her coffee cup and put it to her lips, took a sip but didn't drink anything, only to find that the coffee in the cup had already been inadvertently drunk by her.

Zuo Longxin saw that Xiao Nan's cup was empty, so he pressed the button on the table to summon Xiao Zhang, and after a while, Xiao Zhang, who was wearing a professional skirt, pushed the door in. "Mr. Zuo, do you need me to do something?"

"Excuse me, can you make us a pot of good tea?" Zuo Longxin said to Xiao Zhang very politely: "The two of us are chatting very much, and our mouths are very dry when we talk too much......"

"Okay, wait a minute. Xiao Zhang turned around and went out.

"Come, let's move on. Zuo Longxin saw Xiao Zhang close the door, so he retracted his gaze and continued to talk to Xiao Nan about the past four years ago. "Where did I just go?"

"You said that you can't make a gambling appointment...... Xiao Nan reminded.

"Hmm...... After returning to China with Qingcheng, I had the idea of producing our own GP racing cars, and discussed this matter with Qingcheng and some of my friends in the professional racing circle, they were very supportive of my idea, and discussed the specific details with me very seriously, I spent almost a month to write a GP racing development report of more than 20 pages, and I came to this office to meet my old man with hope, originally I thought that my idea would definitely be supported by the old man, because in my opinion, my old man belongs to the kind of national capitalist who is very patriotic, but I didn't expect him to unceremoniously pour a basin of cold water on me......"

"Was vetoed by your old man?" Xiao Nan asked.

"Yes......" Zuo Longxin sighed softly. "The old man is not the kind of person who likes to put on a show with his juniors and subordinates, but once he has a decision, it is difficult for others to change. ”

"Why is he against it? There must be a reason, right?"

"The old man said that he had carefully read what I wrote in the report, and he also agreed with the benefits and market prospects of independent research and development and manufacturing of GP racing cars mentioned in it, and even he personally agreed with my plan, but he felt that this plan would not be successful until at least four to five years later, and he even gave me several reasons why it was not suitable to start the development work immediately......

"Reason?" Xiao Nan's eyes lit up and suddenly became interested: "Can you tell me about it?"

"Okay, it's just ......" Zuo Longxin pointed to his throat and made a painful expression: "You see that I have been dry for so long, can you wait for Xiao Zhang to bring the tea and let me drink a few sips to moisten my throat before telling you?"

"Uh, of course......" Although Xiao Nan was anxious to know what happened later, he could only endure seeing Zuo Longxin's appearance. Fortunately, Xiao Zhang quickly brought the tea, Xiao Nan took the initiative to run over to help open the office door, Zuo Longxin couldn't help but smile in his heart when he saw her anxious look.

After drinking a few sips of fragrant tea, Zuo Longxin finally put down the cup and began to talk about the reason for the old man's objection, he stretched out a fist to Xiao Nan, first gave a thumbs up and said: "First, the development and manufacturing of GP racing cars requires a lot of capital investment, but Zongxin Group has just merged several small and medium-sized enterprises, and the technology and talents obtained have not yet been digested and integrated, and the group cannot take out enough financial resources to support this extremely money-burning and short-term and unrewarded project;"

Then he straightened his index finger again: "The second is that the current domestic technical capabilities are not up to the requirements, whether it is the experience and vision of locomotive designers, or the manufacturing capacity of spare parts supporting manufacturers, and even the lack of equipment for manufacturing key components, these aspects are not immediately solved;"

Zuo Longxin picked up the cup and took another sip of tea, and then raised his middle finger: "The third point is also the most important point, that is, the target market with the most consumption power in China, those large and medium-sized cities have introduced a local policy of banning and restricting motorcycles, although this local policy is unpopular and violates the traffic law of the upper level, but under the reality of China's current people-ruled society, it is completely powerless to shake this local policy only by virtue of the power of Zongxin Group." Under such circumstances, even if we overcome all the difficulties and build our self-developed GP racing cars, who can we sell them to? Large cities with spending power are not allowed to pass motorcycles at all, and small cities and rural markets do not have the living space for such high-end products, so are the GP racing cars we build at all costs just to build a few for running on the track?"

Xiao Nan nodded silently when she heard this, and she also agreed with this. Although there is a market demand, it is forcibly suppressed by the local land policy, and even if there is a good product, who can it sell to? Do you want to hide in front of the police like those motorcyclists who smuggle motorcycles? "I think what your old man said is not unreasonable, what did you do at that time?" she asked.

Zuo Longxin sighed lightly and said: "Actually, I also understand the key, but I was stimulated by the gambling contract at that time, and I boasted about Haikou in front of my friends in the circle before I came, so although my report was rejected by the old man, the idea of independent research and development ......of GP racing cars has been turned back."

"Didn't your old man be the president of the group at that time? The plans were all rejected by him, how can you still build a GP race car?" Xiao Nan asked curiously.

"If the group doesn't support it, then make it yourself!" Zuo Longxin said this, patted his head and laughed at himself: "Hey, I don't listen to persuasion...... At that time, my brain was really hot, and I didn't care about any consequences, so I took out all my possessions, borrowed some from friends in the circle, and privately pulled out a few key technicians from the professional team under the group, rented an abandoned factory, and started my GP racing dream by making steel by local method......"

Speaking of this, Zuo Longxin pointed to the scrapped locomotive covered with flannel in the corner of the office: "The final product is it, an assembled car that cannot be legally put on the road, the shock absorption and engine are from the island country, the circuit and tires are from Germany, the body is from Italy, and the frame and suspension system are from France...... It didn't fit my original idea of being completely domestic, but it was the beginning of my GP bike dream, for which I paid the price of a severe leg fracture and spent almost a year in a German orthopedic hospital......"

Everyone has dreams, but how many people have fought desperately for their dreams? As the top professional racing driver in China, and with such a deep family background, Zuo Longxin is fully qualified to drive tens of millions of high-end sports cars, and live a debauched life with different girls every day, but he resolutely chose to fight for his dream, although the final result obviously does not look perfect......
