Chapter 748: A Common Hobby
Dietrich. Although Mateschitz is a drink magnate, he is also familiar with some of the world's famous and wealthy people as one of the most famous tycoons in Europe. Although Tang Feng's rise has not been for a long time, Tang Feng's rise experience is too brilliant, even an old man like Mateschitz, who has been obsessed with extreme sports all year round, has heard of Tang Feng's deeds.
Therefore, when Mateschitz heard that the young man in front of him, who was younger than Vettel, was the famous Tang Feng, the old man was also moved.
Although Mateschitz didn't know much about Tang Feng's situation, he was also very aware of Tang Feng's terrifying net worth as a young man. Even Mateschitz himself admits that Tang Feng plucks his hair casually, I'm afraid it's thicker than his waist!
Although Mateschitz did not participate in the economic war between Europe and the United States last year, as one of the richest people in Europe, he also paid close attention to that economic war. As a result, in that war, the young Tang Feng was dazzling and abnormal, which directly became the main reason for the defeat and loss of those old nobles in Europe.
To be honest, the self-made Mateschitz is not very interested in the old aristocrats of Europe. Those old aristocrats always boast of how noble their identity is, looking at everyone who is inclined forty-five degrees downward, as if their family is the most awesome in the world, and no one else can do it!
At that time, before he started his business, Mateschitz was a sales manager in a toothpaste factory under the name of a nobleman in Germany, and the impression left by that nobleman was quite bad. Later, after Mateschitz made his fortune, although his net worth far exceeded that of most of the so-called nobles in Europe, he still made those old nobles look down on, and at many parties, Mateschitz was despised many times
Of course, that contempt is not the contempt of the red fruit. It is the kind of contempt that is inadvertently expressed in many ways, but it is precisely because of this that Mateschitz rarely attends the meetings of the so-called aristocratic circles. What are you going to do? Despised or not? If you have the energy and time, you might as well do more sports!
Therefore, when Mateschitz met Tang Feng, this old man's sense of Tang Feng was also very good.
"Hey. That's what I call you, Don! You're good, I like young people like you! Matschitz quite a scene, a short sentence, brought the relationship with Tang Feng closer.
Tang Feng smiled and shook Matesitz's hand and said, "Mr. Mateshitz."
"Hey, Don, just call me Dieter, that's what my friends call me."
"Oh. Well, Dieter, I'm glad to meet you too. I've heard a lot about Seth before I came here, and to be honest, I admire it and I'm looking forward to meeting you, because I love motorsport as much. Come this time, if you agree. I'd love to drive a real F1 car for a few laps on a professional track, and that's what I've been dreaming of for more than a decade. Since this old man is very scene, Tang Feng is not polite, and directly said his request.
"Haha, Don, this is fine. Don't forget. I have two F1 teams in my hands! Although I have to throw a lot of money into it every year, I like it, I like to throw money into it, I love this kind of sport! Don, your request is not a problem. I can guarantee that by tomorrow morning, a former champion car will be waiting for you on the track! Hehe, that car is the same car that Seth used to drive three years ago, and Seth drove that car to his fourth world championship, and then I kept that car. ”
"Wow, Dieter, I really can't wait to hear you say that." Tang Feng said with a smile.
The atmosphere that followed became very harmonious, and although Mateschitz was nearly fifty years older than Tang, that didn't stop the two from becoming friends.
The common hobby made the two of them chat very happily, and the atmosphere of a dinner was extremely good.
Early the next morning, Tang Feng and his party came to the Red Bull Circuit, and when they arrived, there were already some staff here.
On average, there are about 20 races in an F1 Grand Prix a year, and in fewer years there may be 19 races, and in many years it can reach 21 races, for example, last year and this year, both 21 races.
There is an interval of about half a month between each race, and the interval between a few races is a little less, but basically after each race, the team can leave half a month for the team to adjust the car. Teach and let the riders adjust their condition.
By this time, four days after the opening race of the 2017 F1 Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing had already withdrawn from Australia and was now on the Red Bull Circuit to adjust to the various problems that had arisen during the race. As for the two main drivers of Red Bull Racing, they are on vacation at this time, and their task is to adjust their condition as much as possible in this half month to prepare for the second round in Bahrain.
At this time, there were no outsiders on the track except for the team's engineers and test drivers, and Tang Feng and his party would not have been able to enter if they were not led by Mateschitz.
At this time, the whole track is very busy, two Red Bull cars are racing far apart on the track, and some engineers in the pit station are nervously recording the data of the two cars with instruments and adjusting the cars accordingly.
After more than 10 years of running-in, Red Bull Racing has become an extremely mature team, and now all work has a dedicated person who is responsible for everything, and everything is busy but not chaotic and orderly.
This was the time for the team to work, and although Tang Feng was very greedy, he also knew that it was impossible to go up and drive the car at this time, so he could only visit the team's operation first in the company of Mateschitz. As for Sebastian Vettel, he got along with the engineers early. After all, Sebastian Vettel is the only World Champion for Red Bull Racing to come out of here.
Two blue-and-black cars with the Red Bull logo on the track galloped by, and a loud roar echoed across the track. An F1 car can produce more than 160 decibels of sound at high speeds, louder than the Boeing 747 when it takes off. But it is this huge roar that is the most exciting sound.
In this huge engine sound, the blue-black Red Bull racing car is like two blue-black lightning bolts, and the treble is matched with the top speed, which will make people's adrenal glands secrete involuntarily!
Others don't know, at least now Tang Feng himself feels very high!
The convoy was busy until more than ten o'clock, and then it was the end of the morning's work. Mateschitz smiled and said to Tang Feng: "How about it, go up and try it now?" ”
Tang Feng smiled and nodded yes, and followed Mateschitz towards the dressing room (to be continued.) )
