He looked at the teams and knew that the three top teams had always been favourites to win the F1 race. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info these three teams have won numerous championships in F1 history.

"Looks like I'm going to Europe this time." Shuichi Minamino muttered to himself.

He felt that he had to make a big trip to form an F1 team, first to buy the Treavis team, then to form and change the name to his own Lexus team, and then to find a few capable racing drivers!

Formula 1 is the most expensive, fastest and most high-tech sport in the world, and it is the sporting event with the highest commercial value, the greatest charm and the most attractive to watch. It includes the world's most advanced technologies such as aerodynamics, radio communication, and electrical engineering. Many of the new technologies were first introduced in Formula 1.

If the team he built can continue to improve in it, it will also be of great help to his Minamino Automobile Company. His automotive research department can apply some of the most advanced automotive technologies to his fleet.

A week later, Shuichi Minamino appeared in Italy.

This time with him is also Iloti, don't look at Iloti is a sister, she is also very keen on racing.

The Teeves Club welcomed an uninvited guest today, and this person is Shuichi Minamino.

As the owner of the Teeves club, Arminius was surprised to hear his assistant report that the chairman of Minamino Motor Company had visited. He himself belongs to the automobile industry, so he still has a certain understanding of Nanye Automobile Company.

He knows that in the past seven or eight years, Nanno Automobile has risen internationally in an instant, and has become one of the top ten automobile manufacturing companies in the world. But it's just this cognition, he knows that this car company only makes some low-end cars. Neither high-end cars nor sports cars are involved. He didn't know what the purpose of this man's visit was today.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Minamino, who is Arminius, the owner of the Tevis F1 racing club." In the office, he warmly extended his hand to Shuichi Minamino.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Arminius." Shuichi Minamino also shook hands with a smile.

After the two sides sat down, Arminius asked Shuichi Minamino, "I wonder what Mr. Minamino is here for?" ”

"I'm a car manufacturer and I'm interested in sports cars, so come and visit your club." Nanno said with a smile.

"I see, your Minamino Motor Company is very powerful. I also like your crown cars. Arminius said politely. He wasn't very interested in the other party's visit, he was very busy. His current team hasn't achieved much in recent years. Now a lot of advertisers are coming, and sponsors are trying to divest. He's a little anxious right now.

"Yes, thank you."

After a few idle conversations, Shuichi Minamino said, "I love the F1 team, I wonder if Mr. Arminius has any interest in selling your team?" ”

Shuichi Minamino's words made Arminius show a trace of surprise on his face, and he could tell from the other party's words that the other party came over today to talk to him about buying his team?

"For sale? I'll tell you the truth, I thought about it. Arminius sighed. Now his team hasn't finished in the top three for a few years. Now the whole club is struggling, and there are problems in terms of funding.

After all, it's not easy to feed an F1 team, it's a gold-swallowing beast with no money? I'm sorry, but you should stop playing F1 teams. It represents the most high-tech thing in the world's automobiles, and you can get the most advanced engine without money? How do you get your car up to date if you don't have money? How can you do R&D without a car?

"Really?"

Hearing the other party's words, Nanno Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that the other party didn't want to sell, as long as he wanted to buy anything, he could say it.

"That's right, I'd love to buy Arminius' team! The price is negotiable. "Nagano Shukachi gets straight to the point.

At this time, Arminius was moved, and he had formed this team for many years, but he had not won a good place once. He's really physically and mentally exhausted right now. If someone buys it at a high price, he is not out of the question.

"I wonder what the price Mr. Minamino is offering?" Arminius asked.

"Given that your team hasn't finished in the top three in F1 and is at the bottom of the 12 teams, I can't afford to put the price too high. According to my expert appraisers, the fleet was worth $6 million when you built the team, but now, it's estimated to be worth only $5 million. ”

"No, it's too little money, I'd rather not sell it!" Arminius immediately refused without even thinking about it! Although the other party is telling the truth, he will not sell his F1 team cheaply.

"Mr. Arminius, $5 million is a lot. I'm sure you know what your club is doing. Since there has been no race results, I believe your team is not famous. And those big sponsors and advertisers won't be looking for you. Only a few small advertisers and sponsors will come to you. Your team doesn't have the money to develop more advanced F1 cars, and there's a crack in your club's funding......" Shuichi Minamino said with every word that made Arminius's face white. Undoubtedly, what the other party said was true.

An F1 team, as long as you get the position, the fame will rise, and it will receive the attention of countless audiences, and at the same time, when your team becomes famous, there will be countless advertisers looking for your team sponsorship. Those sponsors will continue to invest in your club when they see that your team is famous and profitable.

However, Arminius's team has been on a downward spiral since its inception.

There are several ways for F1 teams to make money.

1. Rely on sponsors, the team has main sponsors, such as Ferrari's Marlboro, and some smaller sponsors.

2. There is also a part of the income from the TV broadcast share, this part has a lot of oil and water, one of the contradictions between the GPWC and the F1 operator in the previous life is the TV broadcast share, the team should only get 20% now, and the operator gets the lion's share, so the team is not dry.

3. Royalty income from souvenirs and related products. (Why did even a Jaguar coat sell for more than 300 pounds in the previous life......)

4. For large teams, it is mainly to refer to the field team, and providing engines is also one of the sources of income (of course, if you have a customer car in the future, you can also make a profit by providing a chassis)

5. Small teams can also make money selling seats...... In his previous life, Shumi was able to enter the industry because of this.

Also, for a large team (factory team) like Ferrari BMW, the car factory will have financial and technical support for the team, even if it is not afraid to make ends meet, after all, for them, the results are the first, and with good results, the money will be earned back, and it is more important to maintain the brand effect. (Shuichi Minamino is interested in this point, as long as his Lexus F1 team gets a good ranking in the future, it will be very important for the Lexus supercar launched by his Minamino Motor Company!) ）

When it comes to supercars, it is estimated that the first thing that comes to mind for countless people is the Ferrari supercar, and the reason why it is so famous is because the Ferrari F1 team often gets good places in F1 races. As the so-called word-of-mouth effect, those consumers know that Ferrari sports cars are so powerful, so if they want to buy sports cars, they will naturally consider buying Ferrari sports cars.

For independent teams, especially small teams with poor performance, it is necessary to do a good cost-benefit analysis.

Now there is no doubt that Arminius is thinking about the cost-benefit issue, and he has been struggling to make ends meet all these years.

"Mr. Arminius, think about it, I'll come back in three days." After saying that, Shuichi Minamino took people and left.

…………

Three days later, Shuichi Minamino returned to Arminus.

When he arrived, he found that Arminius had not turned him away, and he knew that there must be a play in the situation.

"Mr. Arminius, I don't know what you're thinking about after three days?" Shuichi Minamino asked.

"I still can't accept $5 million, how about $6 million?" Arminius squinted.

“nonono！ $6 million, your club isn't worth the price. Minamino said with a smile.

"Fixed price, $5.5 million, if Mr. Minamino is sincere, then $5.5 million!" Arminius cut through the irons.

"Okay, $5.5 million!"

For this price, it is still within the acceptable range of Shuichi Minamino. As the saying goes, the business was negotiated, and both parties now get a satisfactory price.

The next few weeks were spent on the takeover, and a few weeks later, Arminius disappeared from the twelve F1 teams. At the same time, a Lexus team appeared in the F1 team!

That's right, it's a name change!

The Lexus team's car technology is supplied directly by Minamino Motor Company, so there are no problems.

Shuichi Minamino's acquisition of Arminius' team and the change of name to Lexus team at the same time caused a lot of attention in the F1 racing world. After all, the acquisition of a fleet is a big deal.

Countless media outlets have reported on it.

However, the other constructors' clubs are not too concerned about this, after all, the previous Arminius team was at the bottom of the team, and they did not need to care at all. In their cognition, they are all at the bottom of the team anyway.

Anyway, those media think that the chairman of Minamino Motor Company has formed the Lexus team, that is-rich, capricious!

The official media magazine of F1: surprised, surprised, surprised!

Minamino Motor Co., Ltd., one of the world's top 10 automobile manufacturing companies, acquired Arminius to form a new F1 team, Lexus, which will compete in Formula 1 next year, in 1960.

I wonder if the addition of this new team will be more good next year?

It is said that the engine and chassis technology of the Lexus sports car will be supplied by Minamino Motor Company......
