062 Intended to be a gun
150,000, this number made Zhang Yifei stop getting on the car, as a professional driver in his last life, in fact, he has never been very interested in underground racing, and he has not much interest in participating, unless he has no choice of this.
After all, in a sense, underground racing cars are illegal drag racing, and if they are exposed, their racing licenses will be revoked and their careers will be affected. The main line of the story of the movie "Flying Life" is triggered by the protagonist Shen Teng's participation in an underground racing car, which led to the suspension of his racing license for five years.
Of course, many drivers are willing to take risks for money, just like Shen Dong of the Oriental Racing Team, and this kind of thing is not uncommon among low-level professional drivers. Any industry is a pyramid model, and the people who can make a lot of money are always the people who stand on the top of the tower.
And the investment in playing racing is too big, and it's better to have brands and manufacturers sponsoring, at least you don't have to worry about the cost of the event. Some private teams or individual drivers, before they become famous, are under great financial pressure, and can only participate in some underground racing to earn bonuses, or work as guns for the rich second generation to earn income.
Others simply degenerate and get involved in underground racing gambling, and the more massive the underground racing, the deeper the water.
Zhang Yifei is not a professional driver now, so there is no so-called professional ethics constraint, and whether to participate purely depends on whether he can pass the inner hurdle in his previous life. This is why, when Shen Dong shouted out to run a race of 50,000 yuan before, Zhang Yifei didn't even look back, and at that time he didn't think about racing with others for money.
But now it's different, whether it's going to Hong Kong Island to see the staggering cost of go-karting, or Mitsubishi EVO's huge follow-up investment in wanting to build a race-level car, this can only be done by burning money.
The old man's family background is estimated to be this car repair shop, Uncle Feng and Uncle Lu have how much money Zhang Yifei doesn't know, but he knows that these two are well-known, even if they are willing, Zhang Yifei can't let others add all the family property for his own dreams.
Money is a very real problem in front of Zhang Yifei, which has nothing to do with greed for money or selfish desires, after all, racing is a rich man's game, and it is too difficult for the civilian class to enter, so they can only use a little extraordinary means.
Seeing Zhang Yifei stop his movements, Qin Hong knew that the other party was moved, not to mention the championship bonus of 100,000 yuan, which is 50,000 yuan for the sponsorship of the competition fee, this era is also a lot of money, and it is easy to succeed if you only need to run a run.
"Well, are you interested?" Qin Hong asked with a smile.
"When does the game start?"
"In a week in Yangcheng."
"Take it, remember to give the money first."
There was no nonsense and bargaining, Zhang Yifei agreed directly, and then sat on the Mitsubishi EVO and left. He believed that with Qin Hongneng's strength to form a team, 50,000 yuan was not a big amount, so he would not be hypocritically worried that he would collect money and not do anything.
In the process of descending the mountain, Zhang Yifei completely threw the matter of underground racing to the end of the year, and was engrossed in feeling the handling limit of this Mitsubishi EVO. At this time, it was only eight or nine o'clock, and there were still many cars on the opposite road going up the mountain, and any time they drifted and cornered, they had to be prepared to deal with emergencies that might occur at any time, which was more thrilling than the previous Seven Star Mountain Road Racing.
But this time Zhang Yifei had a better race car, and did not retain his strength, many vehicles on the mountain road, only saw a silver-gray shadow fleeting, and then full of distant engine roar.
"I'm in my mouth! Captain, this kid seems to be faster when he changes cars! ”
The members of the Seven Star Racing Team on the top of the mountain have been standing on the observation deck watching Mitsubishi EVO descending the mountain, and some of them have also seen Zhang Yifei running this mountain road, but the previous speed was not exaggerated this time.
"It's coming soon, this kid is amazing."
Qin Hong replied with a little emotion, although his driving skills are not very good, he is also the captain, he has seen many other team masters, and knows what Zhang Yifei's speed represents, otherwise he would not have directly taken out 50,000 yuan and asked Zhang Yifei to be a gun.
In fact, Qin Hong still had a little regret in his heart, he shouldn't have mocked this kid in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have used 50,000 yuan to find Zhang Yifei as a gun just now, but directly invited Zhang Yifei to join the seven-star team with 50,000 yuan.
After all, I laughed at it at the beginning, and at this time I wanted to pull the other party into the team, not to mention whether Zhang Yifei would be willing, I couldn't pull this face.
In 5 minutes and 26 seconds, Zhang Yifei finished the Qixing Mountain Road, almost 30 seconds faster than when he went up the mountain. If the road is closed all the way without worrying about the oncoming vehicles, Zhang Yifei can be much faster, with an average speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, which can be said to be the fastest speed in the history of the Qixing Mountain Road.
Parking the car back to the warehouse, Uncle Feng and Ah Hu had already gone back, and they were also full of confidence in their modified car, and they were sure that there would be no mechanical failure because of Zhang Yifei's fierce driving. In fact, the chassis suspension tuning of this car is very perfect, and the next major change, it is estimated that it will be necessary to wait until the engine power part is changed, and then it will be matched and tuned again.
On the ninth day of the first lunar month, it was the day when Zhang Yifei officially started school, because of the intense academic work in the last semester of the third year of high school, the winter vacation time was also compressed. In fact, most students have no complaints about this, after all, they also know that this is the most critical moment in their lives and may determine the fate of their lives.
On the first day of class, the class was still quite lively, because the students had not seen each other for a while, and they all had a kind of excitement of "reunion after a long absence". In contrast, Zhang Yifei and Wang Glasses, who have always talked a lot, are relatively quiet at this time.
"Yifei, I figured out one thing at home during this winter vacation."
Wang Glasses said to Zhang Yifei faintly.
"Want to understand what?"
"I'm not going to be a race car driver anymore."
"It's a good thing, it shows that your kid still has a bit of a B number in his heart."
Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, Wang Glasses unceremoniously raised his middle finger.
"I'm going to take the automotive engineering major and become an automotive engineer, so I'm going to work hard from today!"
Automotive Engineering Major? Zhang Yifei didn't joke about Wang glasses after hearing it, because he knew that the next ten years will be more than ten years of rapid development of domestic civilian cars, although foreign brands are still dominated by foreign brands in terms of performance cars and luxury cars, but at least civilian SUVs, MPVs and some sedans, domestic brands have shown strong competitiveness.
Therefore, the development of the automobile industry now has a good prospect, which can be regarded as keeping up with the general trend of the future.
"That's good, I support your choice."
"After that you become a professional driver, I can help you change the car."
"Hey, how did you know I was going to be a professional driver?"
Zhang Yifei smiled and asked rhetorically, he did not tell Wang Glasses about some of his future plans, including the fact that he wanted to become a professional driver.
"I heard He Lang's conversation with you, as soon as you fly, you shouldn't just nest in Qixing Mountain and go to Yanjing for a trial. Car magazines say that only professional drivers are at the pinnacle of racing! ”
Wang Glasses looked serious at the moment, several times Qixing Mountain ran down, coupled with the bad supplement of car knowledge in recent months, he is no longer the ignorant teenager who didn't know the level of car skills.
He knows how strong Zhang Yifei is, since this is the case, he should go to a bigger stage, and professional drivers are the only choice!
