Chapter 962 - The CEO of Ferrari
The game is over, and Xiao Peng can finally hold the trophy with his family.
"You really won the championship?" You Mei looked at Xiao Peng with wide eyes.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Of course, you think I'm bragging? Your husband and my driving skills, that must be invincible, don't you see how I abuse those professional drivers?"
"That's amazing, it's amazing! Husband, you're going to teach me how to drive! I'm going to race cars too. Our kids want to be a professional race car driver, too!"
Xiao Peng just wanted to agree, but his mother gave him a blank look: "I'm about to be a mother, and I'm not stable and steady, why are you still so crazy." β
Yumi stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Du Yulin poked his mother: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, what are you doing with so much care?" Xiao Peng's daughter-in-law, that is naturally Xiao Peng's problem. β
Xiao Peng secretly extended a thumbs up to Du Yulin, and then said to his mother with a smile: "Na, Mom, give you the championship trophy as a souvenir!"
This time, the championship trophy was made by Van Cleef & Arpels, and the shape is simple, it looks like a white monument made of transparent crystal, and the top is a small car steering wheel. But that's the real thing. They are made of white gold, yellow gold, and 18-karat gold, and are inlaid with buttons on the steering wheel made of various gemstones.
It is no exaggeration to say that the gems on it can be sold for 3580000 euros if they are dismantled and sold. Definitely the most conscientious trophie!
The drivers were dumbfounded when they saw the trophy.
Mom didn't say anything, but she held the trophy directly in her hand. It looks like it's not going to let go.
Du Yulin asked, "Xiao Peng, why don't you go to the interview now?"
Now all the teams are surrounded by people, and there are lucky fans who can visit the teams, take photos with the drivers, and also go to the media for interviews. Xiao Peng ran back and didn't join in the fun.
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "Let Yang Meng do such a showy thing, I won't join in the excitement." However, at the celebration banquet in the evening, you still have to show your face. β
When my mother heard this, she suddenly said, "Lao Du's businessγγγγγγ β
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Mom, you don't need to say this, Lao Du is the protagonist at night." β
He was right, Du Yulin and Yu Qing were the protagonists of the celebration banquet again in the evening.
Although there were many flaws in this event, after all, it was held in a hurry, but it was generally very successful, especially in terms of commercial promotion, attracting countless car manufacturers.
Car manufacturers just want to hold such a race every day, and Qatar and Luxembourg are also interested in cooperating with the Huaxia Automobile Federation to make this race comparable to FIA GT on a small scale.
Although the FIA GT competition is very large-scale and well-known in the world, their focus has always been in Europe. Like Xiao Peng, it has become a festival for the common people, and every family comes to camp with tents?
The success of such a competition model has allowed those merchants to see the market. Now that the Chinese market is getting bigger and the people are getting richer, the fools are going to continue to focus on Europe? They wonder if this kind of event will continue to be held. The main purpose of the evening celebration was to consider this and to determine if the competition could be sustained.
At this time, it will be up to Du Yulin and Yu Qing to play again. Do you want to go to China to occupy the market?
Ford laughed at first, after all, it was an old Mustang that won the championship in such a popular race, although the trademark has been hidden, but everyone who is familiar with the car knows what kind of car it is!
Unexpectedly, Xiao Peng was even more straightforward, and when he was interviewed after the game, he said directly to the camera that this car has nothing to do with Ford, and only the shell of the whole car is still six or seven Fords, and all the rest of the accessories have nothing to do with Ford.
The reason why this result is so is entirely because of the excellent level of the driver, in order to prove this, he also specially invited Dong Hebin of Sparkle Roll Jackie Chan DC to experience the driving feeling of this car, but Dong Hebin did not even admit defeat directly.
It's not that Dong Hebin is not confident, it's really because the driving style is different. All the cars on the field are geared on the steering wheel, and what about the 'Irinor' behind the steering wheel? This makes them very uncomfortable for professional racers.
If it's okay to drive normally, but really go on the track and use this way of driving? It will make them crazy! After seeing the way this car is geared, all professional racers have no interest in experiencing it.
However, they all agree on one point, that is, this car is absolutely impossible for ordinary Ford, and they must thank Raymond Shelby for his level of modification! I didn't expect Raymond Shelby's level of modification to be so high! The legend of Shelby racing cars has allowed him to continue! They have expressed their readiness to invite Raymond Shelby out of the mountainγγγγγγ
Let Raymond go to the fire for once. Ford, do you want to make a cheap profit with advertising dollars?
In the evening, Xiao Peng held a grand celebration banquet in the hotel, what singer danced, the performances that should be performed were all on ------ or the fat water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, watching the Japanese girls in his daughter-in-law's performing arts company wearing kimonos and singing Chinese songs, tsk, how much I felt. In addition to the members of the various teams, all of them can enter this celebration banquet, and they are not ordinary people who can receive invitations here.
I don't know how many girls who want to spend a lot of money want to get into here, and the people in the venue are either rich or expensive, but γγγγγγ They think too much. Many celebrities who want to come here can only stay outside the door------ they can't get in, let alone you?
Xiao Peng originally wanted to show his face in the hotel and leave, but he didn't expect that from the time he appeared, he was surrounded by all kinds of people.
Xiao Peng swore that he had never seen these people before the competition! But now that the competition was over, so many people suddenly jumped out. It doesn't seem to mention the identity.
For example, an old man in a suit and leather shoes and rimless glasses stopped Xiao Peng under the recommendation of Sober.
"Congratulations, Mr. Shaw, on winning this hard-fought match! I'm Luis Carlyle Camilleri, and it's a pleasure to meet you. The old man introduced himself to Xiao Peng.
"Oh, hello, Mr. Camilleri. Xiao Peng is still very polite.
But Sauber was a little surprised: "Xiao, you don't know Louis?"
Xiao Peng shook his head honestly.
Sauber scratched his head: "Do you smoke?"
Xiao Peng thought that Sobo was going to smoke, so he made a gesture of holding a cigarette to Xiao Wu beside him. Xiao Wu hurriedly took out a box of Marlboro from his pocket, took out a pair of hands from it and handed it to Xiao Peng, took out the lighter and prepared to light it for Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng took the cigarette directly from his hand, took out one from it and handed it to Sober: "Now, smoke!"
Sober's face turned green: "Well, I don't smoke." β
Xiao Peng was speechless, you don't smoke, you ask me what I smoke for? Take out a cigarette and don't waste it, he lit one casually.
Sauber said: "Okay, Xiao, the Marlboro you are smoking now is a product of Philip Morris. β
Xiao Peng nodded: "Oh, I know this." β
Sauber explains: "Louis turned out to be the CEO of Philip Morris. β
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case, what's the matter? Is Mr. Camilleri here for advertising? I'm very embarrassed about thisγγγγγγ β
Advertising cigarettes is prohibited here in China. Xiao Peng didn't want to play that sidekick in order to make some money.
Who knew that Louis Carly-Camilleri shook his head: "I'm not here for this." Mr. Xiao, I visited your car museum today, it is really a great car museum, I didn't expect you to love cars so much and collect so many cars. β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Of course, I can't drive so much, so I can only watch here." Let everyone enjoy it. Mr. Camilleri is interested in the cars there?"
"Just call me Louis. Camilleri smiled slightly: "I noticed that Mr. Xiao has a lot of Ferraris, and I even saw a Ferrari-Dino 206, which is very rare." It's my favorite car. β
The Ferrari-Dino is the only Ferrari car with a V6 engine in all Ferrari models. The Dino 206 was the first of the bunkers, powered by a 2.0-liter V6 naturally aspirated engine with 185 hp. And his name fits perfectly.
'Dino' was the nickname of Enzo Ferrari's eldest son, who loved motorsport since he was a child and even became the backbone of Ferrari's design department, but he was jealous of his talent, and he died at the age of 24. In honor of Dino, Enzo Ferrari launched the 'Dino' series of sports cars.
Despite being an old sports car launched in 1968, in Xiao Peng's eyes, 'Dino' is one of the most beautiful road cars in Ferrari, with two round headlights that look like elves. Rumours have it that Ferrari wants to resurrect the Dino series, which is a boon for Ferrari fans----- as the Dino didn't sell much because of its low displacement.
Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "I think so too." That's what heroes see, right? What do you like Ferrari?"
After hearing this, Sauber introduced Xiao Peng: "Xiao, that's right, Luis is the new CEO of Ferrari. β
"Isn't it Mr. Marchionne?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
"Mr. Marchionne passed away just a few days ago. God willing, may he rest in heaven and we will all miss himγγγγγγ β
