Li Fanyu actually wanted to come to Austria for a long time, but for various reasons, he never had the opportunity before.

Not for the Schönbrunn Palace or the State Opera in Vienna, nor for the Salzburg Castle or Mozart's House. He was not a man of letters, and he had no interest in these places of interest.

The reason for the interest in Austria is because of the country's automotive industry.

In the EU automotive industry, if the country is the strongest, then the first reaction of many people is Germany.

It is true that whether it is in the time and space before the history of the automobile was built and changed, whether it is the super luxury car brand with BBA and a water of water, or the original Eulian Rheffast in this time and space, the Germans have indeed made a considerable example and driving role for the automotive industry by virtue of their mechanical attainments and outstanding historical accumulation.

However, without Austria among all the EU countries here, the German car industry would undoubtedly be in the sky.

Austria is a country with a very characteristic industry, unlike other EU countries, which are all century-old factories of water. In this country, the nationalization of enterprises is very high.

How high?

Basically, it is a fight with China in the seventies.

Here, state-owned enterprises control 95% of the basic industry and more than 85% of the power industry, and the output value and the number of employees involved are also 70% of the total proportion of the country!

In the automotive sector, there are more than 700 companies in the Austrian automotive industry, employing more than 200,000 people and generating an annual turnover of around 21.5 billion euros. If related industries and services are included, the total number of employees in the automobile industry will reach 370,000.

Let's put it this way, 1 out of every 8 jobs in this country is in the automotive industry.

However, unlike the development route of Germany's automobile industry, Austria's automobile industry is not based on complete vehicles, but vigorously develops the spare parts industry.

In Austria, more than 600 suppliers are fully or partially employed in the automotive industry, with an annual turnover of more than 12 billion euros and a steady increase of 8 percent per year.

Ninety percent of the products produced by these enterprises are exported to the European Union and the world, and about 90 percent of the products produced by this industry are exported. Among them, the production of engines and transmissions alone is more than 2.3 million units per year.

When he was in the UK's Sino-British Union Group, Li Fanyu's idea was based on the Austrian automotive industry.

Listening to Li Fanyu like a dead fat house counting the Gundam figures of the past dynasties, chattering tirelessly about the Austrian automobile industry that he was not interested in at all, Cheng Ke pouted: "I said, you are standing in Schönbrunn Palace now, can't you feel the charm of architecture and history? Look at this, the portrait of Marie Antovalette as a girl!

"Marie Antovalette?" Li Fanyu frowned, "Who is that?"

Cheng Ke rolled his eyes, "Queen Louis XVI!"

Looking at the blankness on Li Fanyu's face, Cheng Ke was completely defeated: "Do you want to ask who Louis XVI is?"

Li Fanyu smiled and scratched the back of his head.

As a science student, he never studied history well. China has not figured out the affairs of its own family for 5,000 years, how can it bother to take care of foreign affairs?

Cheng Ke pinched him hard, then looked at the portrait of the queen in her youth in the corridor of Schönbrunn Palace, and said with longing: "Although Louis XVI is a failed monarch, he has a very good relationship with Queen Mary. Even in Louis XVI's most difficult days, she was always by his side. Even in the end, when she was powerless in the face of the French Revolution, she did not give up, but walked on the guillotine with Louis XVI. Before Louis XVI died, the executioner asked him if he knew he was going to end 800 years of French history, and Louis XVI replied that he would shut up and do your job. Having preserved her last dignity as a monarch, and Queen Mary stepped on the executioner's foot when she was guillotined, the last words of her life were, I'm sorry, you know I didn't mean to. Maintained the cultivation of a royal family. ”

“……”

Li Fanyu looked at Cheng Ke with little stars in his eyes, and felt inexplicable!

"Damn, I finally remembered. He pointed to the painting in the corridor and said, "Isn't Louis XVI the second man who died on the guillotine he had improved?"

finally matched the task with his limited historical knowledge, and Li Fanyu expressed considerable contempt for the pair of outlaw mandarin ducks;

"What's the difference between this and driving a sports car of your own production and dying on the road? ”

"Li! Fan! Foolish!"

Looking at the smoke and the shadowless wood, Cheng Ke felt that he was about to be blown up.

"Straight male cancer!

While chasing out, she angrily condemned behind her.

……

After a walk around Cheng Ke, the two of them drove directly to the F1 headquarters in the east of Vienna.

Under Cheng Ke's negotiations, he met with Masakar, who was in charge of the parts supplier in F1.

For Zhengxin, a young car company that has developed rapidly in recent years, is interested in getting involved in F1, Massacar attaches great importance to it. After Cheng Ke flipped through and talked with Li Fanyu for more than two hours, and learned that Zhengxin had developed a power system suitable for F1 cars, Masakar immediately said that he would immediately submit a power supplier application to the headquarters for Zhengxin, and warmly invited Li Fanyu to visit the F1 headquarters together.

Coincidentally, Bernie Eclestone, who had just finished the FIA meeting, had just returned to headquarters.

Under the guidance of Masaka, Li Fanyu had another brief meeting with the F1 boss.

Although Zhengxin Racing Team has not set foot in F1 in the past two years, it has achieved dazzling results in both Dakar and Le Mans. Formula E has gained considerable vitality in the past two years due to the addition of the Zhengxin K2 team. Both in terms of the number of viewers and the number of live broadcasts in China, there has been a significant increase.

This was quite interesting to Bernie.

In recent years, F1 has fallen into a strange circle. In order to cater to the market, the competition and various systems have been changed back and forth. But every change has the opposite effect.

The more the legend changes, the more it ends.

Recently, because of dissatisfaction with the monopoly of the power unit supplier, the old powerhouse Red Bull 12 team once submitted a withdrawal application.

This made Bernie's already gray hair bald a lot.

Now, seeing Li Fanyu's ambitious focus on engine supply, Bernie also moved his mind.

"Mr. Li, why don't you just form a team and join the F1 family?"

Facing Li Fanyu, he asked.
