Chapter 1587: The Biggest Winner! (2-in-1 Chapter)
The British F1 Grand Prix is over, but off the track, the impact of the race is nothing short of an earthquake!
Li Fanyu originally planned to devote himself to the preparation of the dark horse brand immediately after the game. Zhengxin is now ready to enter the European market, and at present, the four brands of Xcar, Audi, Land Rover, and Volkswagen are submitting procedures to the EU side to prepare for local production in the EU region.
However, the EU's territorial protection policy has always been inferior to that of the United States, so Li Fanyu estimates that this procedure will take a while. In this gap of time, he is ready to complete the preparation of the dark horse brand first, with the influence of Zhengxin Williams Team after entering F1, establish Zhengxin's brand awareness in the EU region, and raise the height of the brand.
However, after the British Grand Prix, he was not even back in London before he was retained by a group of team executives or simply the bosses.
Among them, Red Bull Racing's Mateschitz was the first to find Li Fanyu, who was celebrating the team's victory at the "champion" club at Silverstone.
As a historic F1 circuit, this small country club-like banquet hall next to Silverstone hosts the winning team at the end of almost every race.
Now, after the Williams team emerged as a dark horse to win this Grand Prix, it's once again in the frenzy.
Thousands of Williams fans gathered outside the club, but inside, the atmosphere was even higher.
Javier was standing at the club's bar, holding the medal around his neck high, filling the huge trophy with champagne, and writhing his body to the sound of music.
Out of the field, these drivers with an annual salary of tens of millions and dominating on the track instantly became a twenty-year-old young man.
"Tell me who is the owner of this track!"
“you!”
In the audience, the fans who were lucky enough to buy tickets for the celebration banquet raised their hands and shouted with their necks pulled.
Originally, Amondello was a little depressed after the game because it was not himself who won the championship this time, but in such an atmosphere, this product was completely beaten back to the prototype.
Already drunk with champagne, Amondello has found a female companion somewhere, and the lucky female fan is lying in his arms and kissing him.
It was in this environment that Mateschitz came to the club.
Listening to the earth-shattering music around him, and seeing Javier holding up the medal of constant kissing in his hand under the flash, Mateschitz's heart was not happy.
In this Grand Prix, the limelight was all stolen by the Williams team.
In this race, the poor performance of Red Bull Racing made Mateschitz almost make up his mind to quit F1, with two drivers in the first team, one finishing 12th and the other 16th. And the second team, which has just been reorganized this year, is even worse. Robert McCullous, the No. 2 driver of the second team, rushed out of the track due to the loss of control of the car in the heavy rain, and even went straight to the bottom and became the crane tail runner in this race.
It can be said that in this race, the performance of Red Bull Racing can no longer be described as "unsatisfactory", it is simply a complete failure, as a team in the first echelon, completely marginalized.
Thinking that a few days ago, Li Fanyu had personally come to the door and talked to him about power cooperation, Mateschitz felt a burst of regret in his heart.
If he had established contact with Li Fanyu at that time, maybe ...... Today's win will belong to Red Bull, right?
He thought so.
In a trance, he took his assistant to push through the crowd and came to the relatively quiet card room area on the second floor, where he found Li Fanyu, who was chatting happily with Claire, Alonso and others.
"Hello, Mr. Li. I'm Mateschitz and congratulations to the Williams team on a beautiful win!"
Li Fanyu was discussing tomorrow's itinerary with Cheng Ke, and was unexpectedly interrupted, and when he saw Mateschitz in a decent suit outside the card room, he couldn't help but be a little funny.
Seeing that the team owner who threatened to quit F1 at every turn was uninvited, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but the other party congratulated him on the victory, and he still responded politely.
"Thank you. ”
Cheng Ke was already very resentful that day, and now he saw this guy with a bigger shelf than himself coming uninvited, and directly asked: "Oh! Isn't this Mr. Mateschitz? Oh my God, I can't believe it, we didn't make an appointment, we didn't wait for 15 minutes, and it was such an honor to see Mr. Mateschitz here!"
As soon as he came up, he was ridiculed by her pompous, and Mateshitz's old face turned red.
Li Fanyu glared at Cheng Ke, who was stunned, and smiled at Mateschitz, "Sir, if you are here to congratulate Williams, then I am deeply honored and welcome from the bottom of my heart. But if you're coming to me about engine provisioning, I'm sorry, but now I have a partner. ”
He spread his palms and gestured to Claire Williams, who was sitting beside him like a lady.
Since just now, Li Fanyu has received four or five phone calls, all of which are from those non-factory teams without exception. They want to establish a partnership with Shoshin to talk about the Type engine currently used by the Williams team.
If he had received so many contacts from the convoy half a month ago, Li Fan would have woken up with a smile if he was in a dream. But now, having acquired the Williams team, and through this victory, he has fully confirmed the technical superiority of Zhengxin Group in F1 power, he is too lazy to pay attention!
Sure enough, Li Fanyu preemptively sealed his mouth, and Mateschitz was stunned.
If it was normal, Cheng Ke's ridicule just now would have made her furious.
However, during the two days of racing, Williams' two cars were completely different from their previous performances, and the power to compete with Mercedes-Benz AMG team was really unforgettable.
So even if Li Fanyu bluntly sealed his mouth in advance, he still wanted to make an effort: "Mr. Li, don't say anything." As an independent engine supplier, Zhengxin has bought a stake in Williams, but we are still your customer. If I offended you in the past because of my relationship, I hope you don't mind. ”
What did your mother do earlier?
Li Fanyu looked at the humble gesture that this thing is doing now, and he couldn't say how disgusted he was.
In his mind, a guy he also disliked, a sentence that he once said came to mind.
You used to ignore me, and now I'm too lazy to ignore you!
Li Fanyu, who almost said this, directly raised the wine glass in his hand and turned his head, "I'm sorry, we're not bad customers now." ”
Mateschitz finally couldn't help it.
He didn't expect the other party to be so faceless!
In his eyes, although at present, Zhengxin has made the Williams team achieve good results through the type engine. But in F1, Li Fanyu is a newcomer. His posture is so low now, and the yellow-haired boy in front of him is still so arrogant and arrogant, so that the chagrin in his heart can no longer be suppressed.
"Lee, you've got it figured. Red Bull Racing currently has four racing cars, which consume more than 400 engines per year. That's nearly 200 million pounds of business!"
This is a point that Li Fanyu can't refuse.
However, the results did not turn out as he had imagined.
Hearing this number, Li Fanyu first looked at Alonso, and then at Claire, who was frowning beside him.
After a moment of silence, a pig-like laugh erupted.
It wasn't until he almost laughed out of breath that Li Fanyu finally stood up and took out his mobile phone from his arms.
"Mr. Mateshitz, I need to settle a score with you. ”
Matschitz, who was already annoyed by the laughter, was stunned, he didn't understand what the guy in front of him wanted to settle accounts with him.
However, Li Fanyu quickly gave him an answer: "Mr. Mateschitz, I have acquired a total of 3.52 million shares of the Williams team, accounting for 5 percent of the total shares of the team. At the time, Williams was in a slump and the purchase price was £54 per share. I only paid about £1.9 billion for this deal. ”
As he spoke, he stood up.
"But now, sir, do you think that with this victory, everyone who follows F1 can see how the team has changed since we took ownership of the Williams team, and how the Type engine has performed on the track. Add to that the fact that the team won the Grand Prix immediately after changing engines today, what do you think...... What will happen to Williams' team share price in the future?"
"Before I bought Williams, the team was at its best and the share price was above £75 per share. If the team can maintain its current form in the second half of the season, then I have every reason to believe that the share price will at least double! ”
"Two billion pounds is within my reach. Li Fanyu hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and stared at Mateschitz with a majestic gaze: "In the face of such profits, where did you get the naivety to think that I would use the TYPR engine to compete with my own team?"
Faced with Li Fanyu's account, Mateschitz was stunned.
Only then did he remember that the Williams team was a listed team!
……
The Champions Club revelry continued into the evening.
That night, after the celebration feast, everyone stayed at the club. Early the next morning, Li Fanyucai, Claire and others returned to the team's headquarters in Oxford in the team's special car.
As the first Grand Prix energy of the TYPE engine, he also needs to do a comprehensive split analysis of the used engines to evaluate the durability of the engines, and then calculate the engine demand of the team so that the xcar side can supply enough capacity.
When they returned to the headquarters of the Williams team, they saw two more gorgeous banners on the headquarters building, which had always been as peaceful and peaceful as a medieval castle.
"Always on the road of progress, Williams!"
"£76, 20% up, we did a miracle!"
On the two banners, in floral English, printed with these two slogans.
Seeing this scene, Li Fanyu was a little confused. Cheng Ke next to him complained directly: "Wow, I originally thought that only China could prosper this, but I didn't expect that British compatriots also like to play this formalism!"
Claire was clearly surprised by the change.
But before she could walk into the headquarters and ask what was going on, a group of convoy workers wearing awl hats and festive streamers suddenly poured out of the gate of the headquarters.
Suddenly, the ribbons in the sky were thrown by this group of people who were not so happy at Christmas to Claire, Li Fanyu and others who were walking towards the headquarters building.
"Oh my God, what are you doing here?"
Claire's body was a mess, but she wasn't angry at the elation of her colleagues. Just keep asking.
"Sir, didn't you pay attention to the stock market last night?"
Claire spread her hands, everyone had already drunk too much after last night's party, where did she still have the heart to pay attention to this?
"Our shares have risen sharply, closing last night at £76, an increase of more than 20%. This is our biggest one-day gain since the team went public!"
"Sir Lee, you didn't just win a win yesterday that will go down in the history of the team, you made a history for the team!"
"Oh my God, overnight, our stock went up 20% like a boost, you're heroes!"
Only then did Li Fanyu react, these are all employees who hold the original shares of the team. After winning the Grand Prix yesterday, the stock soared, and with it, their wealth increased rapidly. And, yesterday's victory, it gave them more hope.
Thinking about this, his heart suddenly hurts,
Damn it......
It turned out to be for money, and Lao Tzu only had this treatment......
When Li Fanyu and others received heroic courtesy, the F1 circle was also turned upside down.
When Li Fanyu just bought the shares of Williams Racing, almost all his peers looked at it with a playful mentality. Some of them even ridiculed Zhengxin as a power supplier who "spends money to buy sales".
But with the sharp rise in Williams' share price yesterday, almost everyone who laughed at Zhengxin dropped their jaws.
Not because of the increase of up to 21 pounds per share, but because I was surprised by Li Fanyu's investment eyes!
This guy obtained de facto control of the Williams team by acquiring shares, and then sold the Zhengxin Type engine to the team. This was an idiot in the eyes of everyone at the time.
But looking back now, the young man who was nicknamed a local tyrant at that time not only achieved his goal, but also earned more than 67 million pounds overnight with the shares in his hand!
Such a return on investment has made many people very angry.
It also makes many teams hate it to the roots!
However, whether it is envy, red-eyed, or jealous.
I have to admit that just like the more than 20 million pounds bet on the Silverstone circuit yesterday, Li Fanyu became the biggest winner in this big gamble!
