289 Returned home
Zhang Yifei didn't plan to pierce the window paper at this time, but he couldn't be like a piece of wood, and he didn't say anything.
After saying this, Zhang Yifei let go of He Ziling, with a wicked smile on his face.
"Okay, I won't send you off, have a nice trip."
Hearing this, He Lang also replied with a smile: "Well, then we'll go first, and we'll see you again when we have a chance." ”
"Of course there will be a chance, goodbye."
The car gradually moved away, but He Ziling's eyes remained on the rearview mirror until Zhang Yifei turned into a small black dot and finally disappeared.
"Sister, what are you still looking at, I can't see it anymore!"
He Lang's ridiculous words also brought He Ziling back to her senses, and she hurriedly explained: "I'm just looking at the scenery outside the window." ”
In the face of He Ziling's explanation, He Lang didn't expose it, but just shook his head, and sighed in his heart.
Not long after He Ziling left, Zhang Yifei and the others also left for London International Airport, from where they will take a flight to Hong Kong Island.
Thinking of being able to return to China, to be honest, Zhang Yifei was still a little excited and looking forward to it in his heart. Although he has not been in Europe for a long time, he has not been home for most of the year due to the few months of Toyota youth training in Japan.
I don't know how the old man is now, he and Ah Hu have left, is there a kind of loneliness of an "empty nester".
The 12-hour flight time, when Zhang Yifei and they came to Hong Kong Island, it happened to be 10 o'clock in the morning.
Walking out of the plane, Ah Hu shouted at the top of his voice: "We're back!" ”
Ah Hu's excited shout made the passengers next to him look sideways. But then again, going to Europe is the first time Ah Hu has gone far away, and in the face of the strangeness of a foreign country, Ah Hu didn't say anything, and he was actually quite homesick in his heart.
So when he came back this time, he was naturally very excited.
Zhang Yifei looked at Ah Hu's excited appearance, he just smiled and didn't say anything.
Zhang Yifei can be said to have participated in countless large and small events in his two lives, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of experience of "fighting" everywhere, so he is happy to come back, and he is not so excited as Ah Hu.
When the group walked out of the aisle, Zhang Yifei saw a black crowd of people picking up the airport, which is also a scene that can often be seen at the airport, and Zhang Yifei was not surprised.
But when he appeared, shouts began to appear in the crowd.
"Fly~~! You are my idol! ”
"Flying boy, F1 driver!"
"One fly, China's strongest!"
"Champion driver, Zhang Yifei!"
Hearing these shouts, Zhang Yifei found that the so-called pick-up crowd, the various billboards they were holding in their hands, turned out to have their names written on them.
There was even a banner in the crowd that read "Renault Champion, China's First F1 Driver Zhang Yifei".
In addition, there were some Hong Kong Island media and reporters in the crowd, who also aimed their cameras at Zhang Yifei to shoot the first-hand news of his return to China.
Are these all fans who came to pick me up?
Seeing this scene in front of him, Zhang Yifei was a little confused to be honest, although he was quite famous in Europe, he had also seen all kinds of cheers and applause. But those are on the track. Outside the paddock, Zhang Yifei is just an ordinary person and does not enjoy any star treatment.
This kind of scene of "fans" picking up the airport, to be honest, Zhang Yifei only watched it on TV, but he didn't expect this scene to appear on himself.
In fact, the appearance of this scene is not unexpected, as China's first F1 driver, and most likely to become the first Asian driver to win the Renault championship, Zhang Yifei already has the potential to become a sports star.
Especially in this era, both the country and the people attach much more importance to the performance of sports events than 20 years later.
Liu Xiang, Sun Yang, Zou Shimin, these well-known sports superstars have not yet been born, and Zhang Yifei is the first person to complete a breakthrough in China's extremely disadvantaged sports.
And the breakthrough project is also one of the world's three major sports events, with top global influence.
Under this background, Zhang Yifei obtained the propaganda of the state apparatus and became a sports star, which is almost a certainty. As long as he can run in F1 in the future, then he will be the first "Liu Xiang" and become a Chinese phenomenal sports superstar!
Looking at these hundreds of cheering supporters, Zhang Yifei felt an indescribable emotion in his heart. Although the number of people is small, the shock and support brought by it are no less than the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the audience seats.
In the face of these supporters, Zhang Yifei stopped his steps and bowed in the direction of the crowd to express his inner gratitude before leaving the airport.
Because of the "tiring travel" of more than ten hours, the team members were not in a good state, and they needed to find a hotel to settle down first, and then consider returning to the mainland to complete the endorsement contract with Huaxia Petrochemical.
In the taxi to the hotel, Zhang Yifei took out his mobile phone and pressed the power button. He was going to call Lu Ningping to inform him that since he had come to Hong Kong Island, he would definitely go to Uncle Lu's house to visit him and Aunt Lu.
However, before Zhang Yifei could fully turn on the phone, Junko Takeda's mobile phone next to him rang with the sound of several text messages. Because of the plane, Junko Takeda's mobile phone was also turned off, and they didn't have a chance to turn it on until now.
Junko Takeda clicked on the text message and glanced at it, and her expression, which was a little excited because she came to Hong Kong Island, suddenly became solemn.
"Yifeijun, the Renault event organization sent me a notice."
"What notice?"
Zhang Yifei replied casually, he was thinking about it at this time in his mind, wait to visit Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu, he should buy something over.
After all, he has become a professional driver, and the situation is completely different from the situation of living in his house before, so it is not good to go empty-handed.
"The Renault race organization told you to pay all the costs of the event within three days, including the cost of repairing parts."
"What?"
This news interrupted Zhang Yifei's idea of what gift to buy, Renault's event fee has been communicated before, and it can be settled after the end of the entire Renault European Cup, why did it change after only one day?
"Isn't the settlement time on the Renault side waiting until the end of the entire seven European Championships, why should we pay in advance?"
Yamamoto Youjing, who was sitting in the front row, also turned around and asked when he heard the news, which happened to be Zhang Yifei's inner thoughts.
"They said that because Yifeijun announced his retirement and would not participate in the next three events, he needed to settle it in advance and only give three days."
"What kind of reason is this, the cost was decided after I announced my retirement, and now I am talking about retirement, a Renault event organization, actually doing this kind of backsliding?"
Zhang Yifei felt a little angry at this time, you must know that this is not his credit or anything. Instead, in accordance with the previous participation agreement, and when Zhang Yifei asked Renault for engine parts after the game, he negotiated with the Renault event organization.
All fees will be settled in one lump sum after the entire Renault European Championships. It stands to reason that a world-class company like Renault would not do such an untrustworthy thing, which is a bit too unreasonable.
"I guess it has something to do with your retirement."
Junko Takeda gave an answer, Renault's all will change, and the fuse is indeed related to Zhang Yifei's withdrawal.
However, it was not the Renault tournament organization that decided to change the hexagram, but Ghosn from a higher level.
Because of Zhang Yifei's refusal of the invitation before, Ghosn did not have a good impression of Zhang Yifei, and he has always been a little angry.
But with Ghosn's identity, it is impossible for him to do anything indiscriminate, to retaliate against Zhang Yifei or something. At most, I felt a little embarrassed, and I regretted that I didn't sign Zhang Yifei, but I was preempted by the Prost team.
But then again, any Renault driver being signed by an F1 team is a win-win for the Renault Series and will cement its position as the leader of Formula 1.
This win-win situation was broken with Zhang Yifei's announcement of retirement. Because Zhang Yifei is currently the largest "traffic" of Renault's European Cup, once he retires, it will lead to a decline in the number of audiences, followed by a decline in advertising revenue, which is the damage to Renault's vital interests.
New hatred and old hatred, Ghosn doesn't need to talk to Zhang Yifei about friendship, since you want to quit, then settle all the event fees, which can be regarded as a small revenge for Zhang Yifei.
"What happens if I pay after a while?"
Zhang Yifei asked Junko Takeda, he really has no money now.
Although a contract agreement has been reached with Huaxia Petrochemical, Zhang Yifei is really not confident in the efficiency of state-owned enterprises.
At least three days, Zhang Yifei felt that it was unlikely that he would get the money, so he thought about seeing if he could owe a few days in arrears.
"No, now Europe has a complete credit system, if you are in arrears, don't talk about anything else, you may not even be able to go back to Europe in the future, because the credit stain visa can't be passed."
"Damn, I didn't expect Renault to collect debts this time, and he chased it very tightly."
Zhang Yifei couldn't help muttering, it seems that he has to find another way.
"Fei, why don't I help you with Youjing first, and you can return it to us later."
Junko Takeda put forward the original idea again, if Zhang Yifei has no money, she and Yamamoto Ukyo can get together and pay in advance.
"No, I'm back to my own territory, and I can't even take out 100,000 US dollars, you look down on me too much!"
"And my goal this time is far more than 100,000 dollars, but 2 million dollars."
Zhang Yifei replied confidently, he returned to China this time, not just to go home and see. The real reason is for the $2 million sponsorship.
The goal of two million US dollars is there, so naturally he doesn't care about pulling more than 100,000 US dollars, Zhang Yifei plans to meet Uncle Lu first, meet some Hong Kong Island tycoons through his connections, and reach a sponsorship agreement in the fastest time.
