At three o'clock in the afternoon, the planned opening ceremony was held, and in front of the humble rostrum, there were already about 500 reporters and journalists.

Not only those who have some influence in China have come, but even top international media such as BBC and CNN have sent reporters to interview.

Of course, there is also a reason why the East China Sea Grand Prix is stained, because many international journalists have come to China to broadcast the East China Sea Grand Prix, the final battle of F1, after all, it is the most eye-catching event of this year's F1.

When I heard that the racing club invested and built by Zhang Yifei was going to be unveiled, and he was also planning to hold a press conference, he also rushed over. Anyway, people are already in China, and being idle is also idle, so it's not bad to just come over and have a good time.

In addition to being notified by the on-site reporters, fans and fans are completely spontaneous. Because before being here, let alone forewarning in advance, even this Guangshen Formula Club was built by Zhang Yifei, and few people knew about it.

With pure worship and reverence, they all gathered here after receiving the news, and when it was officially unveiled at three o'clock in the afternoon, almost tens of thousands of people came. Fortunately, Zhang Yifei made a decision in advance and set the rostrum directly on the track, otherwise the space in the hall of the Racing Museum would be far from enough.

The unveiling ceremony was different from what many people imagined before, it was not Zhang Yifei who hosted the show, but gave Lu Ningping full responsibility.

The reason is very simple, although Zhang Yifei paid behind the scenes, in fact, it was Uncle Lu who really paid for this track. And for a long time to come, Lu Ningping will maintain the operation of the track and will also take on the role of coach, he is the one who is really qualified to open this club.

Lu Ningping stood in front of the microphone, telling the history of the construction of this track, as well as the concept of the future, and when he was in the depths of his feelings, he could see the tears in the eyes of this Chinese car king.

Indeed, this racing club has supported the dreams and hopes of two generations of Chinese racing people, and today it can finally be realized in his own hands, how can Lu Ningping not be excited?

After the opening ceremony, Lu Ningping set his eyes on Zhang Yifei, and then said: "I know what you are looking forward to, so let Mr. Zhang Yifei, the founder of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Formula Club, the Chinese car god, speak!" ”

This time, Lu Ningping, the former "Chinese car king", introduced Zhang Yifei in very formal language, and also used the title of "Chinese car god".

Obviously, this is the inheritance between two generations of Chinese drivers, and it is also Lu Ningping who tells everyone that the rise of a new generation of Chinese car gods, even if this time point is a little late.

Zhang Yifei bowed to Lu Ningping, this is his respect for the veteran and his gratitude to Uncle Lu, and then stood in front of the microphone of the rostrum under the shining of countless spotlights.

Before he could speak, the audience had already heard crazy applause and cheers, which were simply resounding in the sky. And everyone gave a standing ovation, their eyes were full of fanatical worship, even if the height of the stands was higher than the rostrum of the press conference, they also looked at Zhang Yifei with an upward attitude.

This is the strongest driver in China, the real Chinese car god!

"Is this Zhang Yifei, the man who defeated the world's strongest Schumacher?"

"Nonsense, otherwise who still has this kind of momentum and domineering?"

"This suit is so handsome, it deserves to be a world-class F1 driver."

"I will never forget, the back of Zhang Yifei standing next to the car under the sunset, that is really handsome!"

"I'm looking forward to seeing the driver fly to the top of the East China Sea, and I'm looking forward to him becoming a real car god!"

The voices of various obsessive discussions in the audience sounded, this time there was no roaring engine sound of F1 cars, and many words Zhang Yifei could hear very clearly.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, but this was not because of his praise for himself, but because Zhang Yifei felt his influence and changes in the country.

To put it mildly, this is the power of example, except for a Chinese player Yao Ming, the NBA can be said to have brought the golden age of Chinese basketball, and its influence has increased several times.

Now that the car has stood up on its own, I dare not say all about it, at least most Chinese people have heard of what F1 is and have begun to understand motorsports and drivers. And compared to basketball, racing can also stimulate the development of the automobile industry, which is a heavy industry!

If the miracle of Ota could happen to Huali one day, the picture of the future would be too beautiful to imagine.

After nodding his head, the screams and cheers in the stands gradually became quieter, and at this time Zhang Yifei began to say into the microphone: "Thank you very much for having so many media today, as well as fans and fans come to support." ”

"To be honest, this is something I didn't expect beforehand, thank you guys."

After Zhang Yifei finished speaking, the audience once again burst into warm applause in response.

"The main purpose of today's press conference is to announce the establishment of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Formula Club. The club, the first professional formula club in China, will be open to all drivers in the future and will provide subsidies to talented students. ”

"I can assure you that the most professional formula training and state-of-the-art formula cars will be provided to the public, and the most powerful and professional automobile events in the country will also be held."

"In a word, this club will make your dreams within reach!"

When I heard Zhang Yifei say this, the stands can be described as boiling, and there are actually only a few simple star-chasing fans here, more of them are formula fans, and even some domestic drivers.

Although Zhang Yifei's words are very similar to the kind of exaggerated TV commercials, few people doubt the moisture in them. The reason is very simple, that is, the name of the person who said this sentence is Zhang Yifei!

They have a vague premonition in their hearts that Zhang Yifei's statement today is accompanied by the upcoming F1 Grand Prix in the East China Sea. The future of China's professional racing may begin today and will enter a new era.

Almost at the moment when Zhang Yifei's voice fell, a foreign reporter who had been waiting for a long time in the audience couldn't help but pick up the microphone and start asking questions.

"Fei, I'm a journalist from the BBC, and we're all curious about when you started preparing this racing club. You know, for a lot of people, it's like it came out of nowhere. ”

The BBC reporter was puzzled, because the news of Zhang Yifei's investment in the construction of the formula club was like a secret, and there was no news at all before, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they all doubted whether it was true.

So now these reporters want to know what is going on behind the scenes, and why Zhang Yifei wants to build a racing club.

"It was in the last year that I was officially launched, but I've had that idea since I started working in Formula Motor. I'm sure many people know that I received a lot of cold eyes and ridicule at the beginning, and one of them was that a Chinese driver who had no racing background and could also race in formula racing? ”

"Indeed, as the ridicule said, many Chinese drivers have never been exposed to formula cars, and they may not even know what a real Formula 1 car looks like except on TV."

"I want to change that, so with this club, the ridicule will never be heard again."

There was another burst of thunderous applause, and many fans and fans knew that Zhang Yifei had been ridiculed and abused abroad. How sad Zhang Yifei's experience was at the beginning, then how excited he can be for his achievements today.

Zhang Yifei fulfilled his promise, that is, to fight to the end for the honor of Chinese drivers, and will never kneel and beg for mercy!

"Hello Yifei, I am a reporter from Guangming Daily, this time the formula club was established, in addition to holding hands with the Prost team, you also reached a strategic cooperation with Huali Group."

"There have been rumors in the outside world that Huali Group has had in-depth cooperation with Prost Racing Team, and even participated in the development of racing cars, is this true?"

Huali Group took a stake in Prost Racing Team and sent technical personnel to participate in the research and development of racing cars, etc., but it was not disclosed to the public. The main reason is that in this era, foreign countries are very deeply guarded against China, and some of the capital raising behind Huali Group is not so open-minded, and even has the intervention of national capital.

Therefore, when cooperating, all parties adopted a low-key approach, including Zhang Yifei, the de facto shareholder, who has never been publicly exposed from beginning to end.

But now that the Huali European R&D Center has been officially established, it can use this name to carry out R&D cooperation with Prost Racing Team, instead of secretly sending technical personnel to the team R&D Center before.

Moreover, the civil vehicle market in this era has begun to enter a period of rapid development. The market is there, and if domestic cars do not seize it, they will inevitably be occupied by Japanese, German, American and other vehicles.

Even if it is a joint venture, without its own technology as the capital, simply in exchange for the market, it is impossible to get any real automotive industry technology, which has been proved by later generations.

Therefore, there is no need to hide now, we need to build momentum for Huali Automobile Group, and use the forced style of F1 to improve the grade of domestic cars. Although there is no drama in killing the German and Japanese factions for the time being, at least it is impossible for the Korean system to rise in China in the future.

The path taken by Chinese companies is generally left with no way out for companies in other countries.

"That's right, the European R&D center of Huali Group was involved in the development process of Prost racing cars. Moreover, Huali Group will decentralize the experience of the European advanced automobile industry, provide technical support for domestic vehicle manufacturing, and even set up a professional fleet. ”

"This is also one of the directions of cooperation between the club and Huali Group, where the first Chinese formula team will be formed, starting from the junior formula and finally entering the first formula one!"

Zhang Yifei said his future plans, and also helped Huali Group advertise.

When LaHuali Group became a shareholder, the pie in the world was not given to them for nothing, and the formation of a professional team was one of the conditions. After all, there is no car company as a background and a professional team to rely on, and the foundation is never solid.

Even Williams, one of the big three in Formula 1, was introduced a few years later when engine supplier BMW bought Sauber and started to enter the market on its own, no longer providing racing engines. It dealt a fatal blow to the Williams team in an instant, and it collapsed for more than ten years.

In the 90s, the famous Big Three, once overtook the pinnacle giants of Ferrari and became the bottom team.

And having said that, the formation of a professional team is not a condition, it is a completely win-win situation, which can help Huali Group improve its momentum and brand influence faster.

At that time, the real condition was actually another, that is, Zhang Yifei asked Huali Group not to continue to "copy" well-known foreign models, and to ensure its own positive research and development, even if the start was difficult, it must go on!

In addition to some inherent impressions and superior parties, domestic cars were complained about in later generations, and they did have something to do with the early development of domestic cars and being too cheating.

"Shanzhai" is indeed a late-developing country, basically one of the processes to go through, imitation is no problem, but sometimes, the appearance can not be too ugly, and some industrial waste is created, which will only affect their reputation and brand image.

And this kind of image may have to pay ten or a hundred times the price in the future to be whitewashed.

Zhang Yifei will do his best to help the development of the domestic automobile industry, but it is definitely not in this way of pit his own people. The road has been paved, and how to go in the future is Huali Group's own business, but it can't go the wrong way.

Brand value may be more difficult for an automotive company to obtain than technology.

Immediately afterwards, the reporters asked other questions about the club, and Zhang Yifei answered them one by one. Of course, there are many reporters who asked about the East China Sea Grand Prix, but Zhang Yifei smiled and said that he would stay until the East China Sea Grand Prix to answer.

At half past four in the afternoon, the club's unveiling ceremony and press conference were officially over.

According to the itinerary, Zhang Yifei will rush to the East China Sea Circuit immediately after the unveiling ceremony. Because this time there is only seven days between the Japanese Grand Prix and the Tokai Grand Prix, excluding the one day of delay in the transfer of Japan, and today, there are only five days left.

These five days also include two days of practice and one day of the main game, to be precise, there are only two days left. Although Zhang Yifei is extremely familiar with the East China Sea Circuit, many things also need to be run-in, so it is best not to delay too much.

However, Lu Ningping wanted to take Zhang Yifei to meet someone, to be precise, the club's first "student" and driver, and he hoped to recommend it to Zhang Yifei.

Zhang Yifei never doubted Lu Ningping's vision, and he was also curious in his heart about who could make Uncle Lu pay so much attention.

So he asked all the crew members to get in the car first, and he and Uncle Lu went to the club office building alone. When he passed by the Racing Museum, he happened to see a five or six-year-old child, lying in front of the glass curtain wall, looking at the Prost AP05 racing car inside, and a man standing next to him.

"Dad, is this the car that the car god flies away?"

"No, Zhang Yifei drove another car, but it was the same model."

"Dad, this car is so beautiful, I want to be a driver of this kind of car in the future."

"Then you have to work hard to become a driver like Zhang Yifei and drive in an F1 car."

"Dad, I will definitely work hard and drive an F1 car like a car god!"

In the immature children's voice, there is a kind of yearning and firmness.

Listening to the conversation between the father and son, Lu Ningping looked at Zhang Yifei, and he suddenly understood why Zhang Yifei insisted on establishing this racing museum.

Maybe it's just waiting for the next rider to fly.
