Chapter 459: God who hates the poor and loves the rich

Lin Zheng found that he had made a big mistake, this mistake was that he should never accompany Lang Xuan around the capital, no, this stupid woman didn't know what it meant to be evasive, and pulled Lin Zheng's sleeve like a curious baby and kept asking, "I heard that Guo Lao Er rushed to Hong Kong Island overnight, and flew back to Bay Island the next day, tell me, how did you make the Guo brothers so obedient?" ”

"I ......" Lin Zheng sighed, "Let's not talk about this, okay?" ”

"I heard that the Guo brothers were frightened this time," Lang Xuan's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Lin Zheng, "If you don't tell me, I'll tell that stupid girl about this." ”

Then go tell her! When these words came to his mouth, he was swallowed alive by Lin Zheng, he could see that this stupid woman was just enjoying this feeling, forget it, it was rare for her to have such a happy time, for the sake of this stupid woman working so hard to be a coolie for herself during this time, just forgive her once. Lin Zheng tried hard to convince himself to forgive Lang Xuan in his heart, and at the same time eagerly waited for Waldegard's plane to land soon.

As the new chief designer of Tesla, a subsidiary of Lianchuang Technology, Waldegard is going to Jiangbei Alto to sign a formal powertrain OEM contract with them, Lin Zheng knows about it, he is just a little curious, what is this guy doing here?

"Boss, I want to participate in the Dakar Rally."

Waldegard's answer made Lin Zheng's jaw drop in shock: "You say it again?!" ”

"Boss, I want the Dakar Rally," Waldegard's bastard was obedient enough. I really repeated it again, "As the main driver, I hope you can support me." ”

After speaking. This thing actually bowed deeply to Lin Zheng very seriously.

"Why?" Lin Zheng, who didn't expect Waldegard to talk about this matter with him, was stunned for a while before he said in surprise.

"In the past six months, I have often dreamed that I am driving a racing car on the land......"

"It's just a dream, it's just a dream, you know?" Lin Zheng interrupted his phone call and snorted angrily. Who are these people, just because they had a dream, they have to drop the action at hand. Let his boss support him for not doing his job? Baba bah, you must dispel this unrealistic idea!

"No, it's not just a dream," Waldegard shook his head earnestly. Said to Lin Zheng seriously. "I know it's God reminding me, God telling me in this way: Waldegard, you belong to racing, you have gasoline in your veins, I'm going to follow God's instructions and get back on the racetrack, I want to prove to the world that Waldegard, who won the WRC championship that year, is not dead. He can still be on the race track, because it is God's will. ”

Bullshit God's will. Lin Zheng's teeth were about to ache when he listened: Nima, when you couldn't eat a few years ago, why didn't God instruct you? Now that your life is better, God has begun to decree you? This God is really disgusted with the poor and loves the rich.

Although Lin Zheng can despise God, but there is no way, since Waldegard believes in this fool who was hung on the cross, as his own subordinate, Lin Zheng has to be responsible for Waldegard, and after a deep groan, Lin Zheng asked, "Lao Wa, you should understand that before you get my support, you are my employee first, and no one will support your racing career except me......" Speaking of this, Lin Zheng couldn't help grinning, he felt a little pantothenic acid in his stomach, "Do you admit this?" ”

Waldegard nodded wordlessly, he wanted not to admit it, but he didn't admit it, Lin Zheng was right, outside of Lin Zheng, no one would support him Waldegard, although there are many racers like Waldegard who are still active on the racing track at this age, but there are absolutely no addicts among them, in the eyes of countless orthodox racing authorities, the racing track should not be tainted by drugs & products, unless he gets the support of his boss, he Waldegard does not want to get the support of any other manufacturer.

"Very good, it seems that your head is not too fanatical," seeing Waldegard nod, Lin Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Let's discuss the second question, what about the smartcity car you are hosting?" Waldegard, even if I am willing to support you, it is on the premise that you do not delay the work of the company, but right now, what you are doing and what I want you to do seem to be the opposite. ”

"I promise not to delay the normal progress of the smartcity project, you know, the main structure design and interior and exterior design of the smartcity have been completed, and then there is a long process of site testing and road testing and adjustment, which is very tedious, but it will not take up too much of my time, I can do this work in one or two hours a day, so please rest assured, I assure you that participating in the Dakar Rally will not delay my work." Waldegard looked at Lin Zheng and said seriously.

Well? After thinking about it, Lin Zheng found that this is really the case, there is not much work that really needs to delay Waldegard for a lot of time on the smartcity project, although such as the matching and debugging of several power systems, the matching and debugging of power systems and the body, and the testing and commissioning of the whole vehicle are still inseparable from Waldegaard, but just like Waldegaard himself said, these jobs do not require him to put all his energy into it, and more work is completed by test drivers and engineersWaldegaard only needs to analyze the data collected from him and come up with a solution, so he really has time to participate in the Dakar Rally?

With this possibility, Lin Zheng immediately began to wonder if he could make some money from this matter, so after pondering, Lin Zheng found that if he supported Waldegard's participation, it would really be of a lot of benefits to himself, first of all, with the help of the Dakar Rally, a world-famous event, he could greatly promote his company's modification strength and ability in front of the world's media, and there is nothing better than this.

Waldegaard once told Lin Zheng that a car that can participate in the Dakar Rally will cost at least $1 million, because there are many parts that are manually built by the modification manufacturer, so the modification of this car alone, the net income of the modification manufacturer is not less than 300,000 US dollars, and as long as a car modification manufacturer can prove that it can complete this level of modification, it will immediately be rich, and the annual income will not be less than 10 million US dollars.

Well, since it doesn't delay the research and development of smartcity, and you can also advertise yourself, then it doesn't hurt to support Waldegard, it will be regarded as advertising money, but before that, Lin Zheng still has some questions, "Okay, Lao Wa, if the answers to the next few questions can satisfy me, I will support you." ”

"Speak, please." Hearing that his boss was willing to support him, Waldegard's spirits suddenly lifted.

"I know that many of the drivers who take part in the Dakar Rally are in their forties and fifties, but can you do it? After so many years of not having been trained systematically and professionally in racing, are you sure you're okay? Oh, and by the way, you need a professional racing license to participate in this kind of competition, right? Does your license still work? ”

"I've been exercising for the past six months, and I'm sure that after a while of training, my body will be able to meet the requirements of participating in the race," Waldegaard said, in order to be able to convince his boss, this guy has made a lot of preparations, "I have a lot of racing experience, from now until the real start of the race, there is still almost half a year, as long as I have a period of recovery training, I believe I can get back in shape; As for the driver's license, although a professional racing license is also required for this level of competition, I believe I can pass it. ”

"This is what you said," Lin Zheng nodded, "Since you have no problem personally, what about the second question, racing?" How are you going to solve the problem of racing? First of all, if you are planning to buy a car from another car manufacturer and modify it to compete, then I would advise you to go back to the United States now...... It's absolutely impossible. ”

The cars in the Dakar Rally are almost all the top models of off-road vehicles produced by the world's top car manufacturers, and now the most popular ones are undoubtedly Japan's Mitsubishi and Toyota, let Lin Zheng advertise to the Japanese? Dream their dreams!

Waldegard's answer was completely beyond Lin Zheng's expectations, and it can even be said that Lin Zheng was taken aback, "Boss, I hope that I will participate in this competition as our tuning factory, I plan to build a Badge car to participate in this mortal death, with the help of this competition, I realize my dream, I hope to be able to help the company." ”

This guy was quite thoughtful, Lin Zheng was taken aback, but ......, "What is Baji racing?" ”

"A rear-wheel drive, lightweight desert race car that is generally built by a master and uses a V6 or V8 high-horsepower engine, and I was also a master of Buggy Racing, and I calculated that if we were to build a team of Buggy Cars, from the beginning of the assembly of the car to the end of the race, we would only need about 5 million to 6 million dollars...... This was when it was just me and one of the navigators...... Racing with Buggy, as long as we can complete the race, we can maximize the publicity of our tuning company......"

"Wait!" Lin Zheng interrupted Waldegard's words, and looked at Waldegard with a pair of burning eyes: "Can you compete with this kind of car?" ”

Lin Zheng didn't know much about automobile racing, and always thought that only cars modified from production cars could compete, but now, the drivers themselves can also build cars completely by hand? This somewhat subverts Lin Zheng's perception of racing. (To be continued......)
