Chapter 888: Respective Abacus

readx;

After consulting with the consulting company he worked with, Lin Zheng finally made a decision: to postpone the new car launch scheduled for the day after tomorrow by one week. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before the online broadcast of John. One of Stewart's tricks to clean up the smartcity is that of John. Stewart, in his position as an authority in the automotive field, questioned the reliability and quality of the smartcity. And there is no doubt that as a three-time F1 Grand Prix winner, John Brown. Stewart's review of the smartcity will undoubtedly have a direct impact on the final sales of the smartcity.

But now it provides an excellent excuse for Tesla Motors to postpone the launch of SmartCity: Tesla Motors asked Prodrive, the world's top racing and vehicle technical services company, to conduct a comprehensive test of SmartCity and ask ProDrive to issue a test report to ensure that the quality of SmartCity is enough to meet the actual needs of users.

As one of the chassis providers of F1 and one of the world's most well-known automotive chassis tuning companies, ProDrive has a good reputation in the global racing field, as a new car brand, many consumers still have doubts about Tesla cars and SmartCity, but if the quality of SmartCity can be endorsed by ProDrive, then the reaction of consumers in the market will be completely different.

``

Once Tesla's decision was announced, although it was interpreted by many people as Tesla Motors' lack of confidence in the quality of its products, it also won the praise of many people. The reason is simple, it is still a distrust of SmartCity and Tesla cars.

In the previously published "22 Ways Stewart Brought ICQ to its Knees". The trick mentioned to question the quality of SmartCity does make many people who like this car but have some doubts about the technical skills of Tesla cars worry about SmartCity's new life. But if you can get any from Prodrive, don't worry.

In this way, SmartCity has not yet been listed in front of the public.

John. Stewart's two days were not ordinarily sad, but John. Stewart's bad luck caught the attention of another F1 team: Minardi.

"Carlo, do you think it's possible for us to cooperate with this Mr. Lin?" Staring at the news on the laptop screen, Minardi team owner Stoddart earnestly asked team manager Carlo Brown. Minardi asked.

"Working with this Mr. Lin?" Minardi looked at his boss in surprise, not understanding why his boss thought that.

"That's right, work with this Mr. Lin." Stoda nodded, pointing to the introduction of Lin Zheng on the laptop screen and said to Minardi: "You see, this Mr. Lin is not only an Internet tycoon, but also has two automobile manufacturing companies under his name, an electronic brand that is very famous in the Republic...... For Minardi, this is a very rich man, and since he is rich, why don't we give it a try? ”

Stoddart is considered to be the most struggling owner of an F1 team and he never misses an opportunity to earn sponsorship for Minardi. The dispute between Stewart and ICQ made everyone laugh at Stewart's insane poor and even dared to fight for the idea, but Stoddart saw it differently than others, and he thought it might be Minaldi's chance: whether it was electronics or cars. It's the F1 team's favorite sponsorship.

The Minardi team has always been the last team in F1, and as a team manager, Minardi is naturally under a lot of pressure. He put almost all his thoughts on the team, and he didn't pay attention to Lin Zheng and Stewart in the recent short period of time. All that knows about this is John. That old guy at Stewart had a conflict with a guy and was now in disgrace.

Now I heard the boss Stoddart say that he was ready to ask Lin Zheng for sponsorship. There was some indifference in my heart: "You're the boss, you have the final say, but it seems that this billionaire doesn't seem to be very keen on F1?" ”

Stoddart waved his hand solemnly and said to Minardi seriously: "No, no, no, Minardi, you are wrong, since this Mr. Lin has two car brands of his own, I won't believe that he is not interested in racing, you know, the chief engineer of Tesla Motors is the 79-year WRC champion Bijon. Waldegard ......"

"Than Jon. Waldegard? Minardi's eyes widened in surprise, full of disbelief.

WRC is also known as one of the world's top three motorsport races, along with Formula 1. Waldegard has only won the WRC title once, but how many drivers who can compete in a WRC event will never win once in their lifetime? John. Stewart won three F1 titles and was crowned on the altar, why? It's not because it's so hard to win the annual championship.

Minardi was so surprised because he didn't expect the chief engineer of Tesla Motors to be Bijon. Waldegard, if that's really the case, then it's interesting, the boss is right, if Lin Zheng really thinks that the former WRC annual champion is the company's hungry chief engineer, this guy's ambition will definitely not be small.

"That's right, that's the guy," Stoda nodded, looking eagerly at Minaldi, "I think it's a good opportunity......"

"But what good can we do for them?" Minardi interrupted Stoddart and asked, "Don't say we can use F1 as a platform to help them make a name for themselves on a global scale, I don't think it's just impossible."

Not only Minardi thinks it's impossible, but even Stoddart thinks it's impossible, with the current production capacity and specifications of Tesla cars, it is necessary to use the F1 platform to advertise? But Stoddart has a solution: "We can provide them with R&D and technical support. ”

"Uh......"

Minardi didn't know what to say.

Not only is the Minardi team the worst of all 11 F1 teams, but it is also the worst in terms of technical prowess with a total of 0 points in the year, and it uses a Lamborghini engine - in the F1 circuit, the Lamborghini engine is admittedly bad, not only worse than the engines of Ferrari, Mercedes, Cosworth and Honda, but even worse than the Ford engine - because of the team's financial constraints, the Minardi team cars cannot even undergo rigorous wind tunnel testing. Only the "public" body can be used......

It's a handful of snot and tears......

"You're thinking too much," Stoddart patted Minardi on the shoulder: "Although we have the lowest technical prowess of all 11 teams, we have been in Formula 1 for almost 20 years anyway, and we may be a lot different from the top five teams, but if we help them design a chassis, shape and so on, that's not what the British Lotus team does......"

Well, since the team boss has said so, as the manager of the team, Minardi feels that it is better not to say anything, not to mention that the team's financial situation is really bad, anyway, no one can die if he tries, after hesitating, Minardi finally nodded: "OK, then let's try." ”

Although in Minaldi's heart, he actually didn't have much to say about Stoddat's approach.

……………………

When the Minardi team was preparing to pull a sponsorship from Lin Zheng, John Brown. Stewart, the "flying Scotsman" who is likely to be knighted by the British royal family, has faced one of the worst crises in recent years: sponsors have not only begun to express concern about the spate of negative news about Stewart in recent days, but have even begun to want Stewart to put pressure on him.

The first to be questioned by the phone was Stewart's second-largest sponsor after Ford: the auto parts company Maketi. Marelli.

It was Manetti who called. President of the Public Relations Department of the Magneti Marelli Group, Christian. Horner, on the phone Christian . Horner's tone was quite polite: "John, there are some things that have happened to you lately to Manetti. Marelli has caused some trouble, and His Excellency the Chairman is more concerned about this matter. ”

John. Stewart's heart trembled when he listened!

Don't look at Christian. Horner's tone was quite polite, but anyone who wasn't stupid could hear the impatience behind the apparently basic polite tone: John. Stewart, what the hell are you doing?! Can't do such a triviality? Are you planning to make us cancel our sponsorship contract?

As the second largest sponsor of the Stewart team, John Stewart. Stewart vs Mannetti. Marelli's opinion did not dare not pay attention to the time of John. Stewart didn't have the arrogance he had when he talked to Lin Zheng, on the contrary, under the threat of the possible cancellation of the sponsorship contract, this guy's tone was so flattering that even he couldn't believe it: "Christian, we've known each other for so many years, don't you still believe me?" Rest assured, it's just a minor hassle and I'll be able to fix it soon. ”

Got John. Stewart's reply, Christian. Horner was finally satisfied: "Okay, old friend, I'm sure you'll be able to solve it soon, but I hope this 'soon' is 'as soon as possible', do you know what I mean?" ”

"Of course, trust me Christian, that bastard won't be bouncing for long." (To be continued......) r1292
