After Zhang Yifei greeted Uncle Lu and the old man, Ah Hu and Brother Zhi also greeted Zhang Zhiguo with excitement.

After all, Zhang Zhiguo is their master, and this year's auto repair is not like various school education later, it is basically an old-fashioned master-apprentice inheritance. Moreover, in places like Guangshen and Shenzhen, the influence of traditional culture is relatively heavy, so more attention is paid to this master-apprentice relationship.

Seriously speaking, Zhang Zhiguo has not seen Ah Hu and Chen Zhi for two years, especially Ah Hu, looking at the young man who was ignorant at the beginning, and now he has become the world's top maintenance technician, his heart is full of emotion.

"Now that we are all working, we will work hard in the team in the future, not only will we lack drivers, but we will also have our own maintenance team. When I wanted to participate in the Hong Kong-Beijing Rally, the team exchanges were all in foreign languages, which caused a lot of trouble and inconvenience

We don't have to face these problems anymore! ”

Zhang Zhiguo was very happy, and even recalled some of the past events of that year, and his tone was full of embarrassment.

Basically, the world's top automobile events are all communicated in English, because the team is mainly European and American. For many non-English-speaking drivers, in addition to driving skills, there is also a test of foreign languages, especially in emergency situations, English is not as convenient as the mother tongue.

Just like Japan's "famous" F1 driver Iide Ariji, he did not dare to drive fast on the F1 track, in addition to his own technical strength, there is also an extremely unsmooth communication with the team, and he needs compatriot Takuma Sato to act as an intermediate translator, resulting in a lot of reactions being slow.

Most of the older generation of drivers and crew members are not very educated, so it can be said that they have suffered a cultural loss in English communication.

In the future, Ah Hu and Chen Zhi will return from their studies, and Huali Group will also be able to develop a racing car made in China, and now with the establishment of the formula club, it will be able to create a "whole Chinese class" of its own!

This is where Zhang Zhiguo is really gratified, to be able to watch the rise of Chinese racing as a whole!

Next, Prost and the crew members also shook hands with Zhang Zhiguo and Lu Ningping and said a few polite words.

For meeting the founder and president of an F1 team, Lu Ningping and Zhang Zhiguo are still very excited. Even if he is known as the "Chinese car king", Lu Ningping has little influence in the world, and he may even be reluctant to reach Asia.

In the past, the management of F1 teams was an unattainable pinnacle for the older generation of drivers. Now I can greet myself politely and start a strategic cooperation with the club, which is like a dream.

After greeting each other, Zhang Yifei and his entourage walked into this Guangzhou-Shenzhen Formula Club. The first thing that catches your eye is a gorgeous main building at the entrance, which is decorated with glass curtain walls, much like the style of Apple direct stores in later generations, full of modern science and technology.

The building is not a pit stop or anything else related to the race, but a vacant racing museum that will later be used to house the accolades of the drivers and the team. Spectators, fans, tourists, etc., can see these things at the first glance when entering the club, and the AP05 race car will also be placed in the most conspicuous position in the middle of the lobby.

When Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping proposed this idea, they actually encountered strong opposition. Because in Lu Ningping's view, it has cost a lot of money to build the club and the track, and the advertising and endorsement fees that Zhang Yifei received at the beginning of the year were sent over together with the bank card, which can be said to have drained the family.

I don't have enough money, so why bother building such a useless racing museum, if you really want to build it, you can wait until you have money in the future and take your time.

Regarding Uncle Lu's objections, Zhang Yifei, who has always been more "obedient", directly denied it this time.

Because this racing museum represents the dream and honor of the future, and is the spiritual symbol in the hearts of all drivers who go out from here!

Just like Zhang Yifei's belief in victory, drivers must understand what they are fighting for, and only in this way can they maximize their potential. In the same way as a student, you must also have a direction and goal to guide you, and dreams and honors are more determined than money!

Zhang Yifei has basically run all the world's top tracks in his career so far, and the track he is most impressed by is not the Indianapolis circuit, the holy land of the Indica program, nor the Monaco circuit in the crown of F1, but the Monza circuit in Italy!

It's not that Monza is hard or fast, but from the moment you step into Monza, you can fully feel what is called racing culture, what is called fast and furious.

Because here, you can see the fiery red Ferrari Museum, witness its 100 years of development, and opposite the Ferrari Museum, there is also the golden bull label Lamborghini Museum, which is the pride of Italian racing culture.

What's more, the Ferrari Drivers' Hall of Fame is also here, which houses generations of professional drivers from the Scuderia Ferrari, so you can feel their glory and glory.

Even if you are not a professional car fan, as long as you are at the Monza circuit and your eyes are full of Ferrari red, you will inevitably be infected, which is called heritage and car culture.

Zhang Yifei is very aware of the development process of China in later generations, and the material lack of racing cars will one day be able to make up for it. But the spirit and heritage are not easy to build up in three days.

This racing museum, which seems to be useless and expensive to build at the moment, is actually a spiritual symbol. Let all the students, fans, spectators, and tourists who come here to witness the world's most high-tech F1 cars, and to witness the brilliance created by future drivers, which can inspire them.

Even if there is only one out of ten or hundred, it is actually enough, after all, dreams and glory are priceless.

Aside from this racing museum, there's nothing special about it, except for parts of the standard track. However, the simplest thing can also be seen whether it is attentive, at least in the asphalt grade of the track, it is the highest race-grade asphalt pavement provided by Huaxia Petrochemical, and there is no problem in hosting F1-scale events.

"Fei, I finally understand now, where did your money go."

Looking at this formula club, Prost said to Zhang Yifei with some amazement, and at the same time felt a kind of admiration in his heart.

Although Zhang Yifei's contract base salary is only 130,000 US dollars a year, no one in the entire F1 will think that this Chinese kid only earns 130,000 US dollars a year, and all kinds of sponsorship and endorsement activities are at least tens of millions of US dollars.

Some people even speculate that Zhang Yifei's annual income may rank among the top three current F1 drivers, except for Schumacher and Coulthard, even Barrichello's value may not be comparable to Zhang Yifei.

It's just that compared with the luxurious life of other drivers, Zhang Yifei's daily life can no longer be described by the word simplicity, it can be said to be "poor"!

Not to mention all kinds of corrupt and extravagant consumption, to put it simply, F1 drivers are car lovers, and there is basically no shortage of all kinds of supercar luxury cars in the home.

But Zhang Yifei is not a supercar luxury car, he doesn't even have a 10,000-dollar grocery car, most of the time, in addition to the team provided, he rents a car rental shop for a few days, and other luxury hotels and hot girls can't even see a shadow.

There were once gossip reporters in Europe who didn't believe in this evil and turned into paparazzi, wanting to capture Zhang Yifei's private life to see if he was as frugal and simple as he looked, or a "hypocrite" image.

As a result, outside the headquarters of the French team, the mosquitoes were fed for almost half a month, and they didn't even take a photo of Zhang Yifei walking out of the headquarters. Since then, Zhang Yifei's life deeds abroad have been shocked by many foreigners, and he is called the "ascetic" in the car world.

Of course, there are still many people who are curious about where Zhang Yifei spent all the money he made in a year. Or is he just a pure iron rooster, the kind that doesn't pull a hair?

Not to mention outsiders, even the boss Prost was curious, after all, he can be said to be a person who can contact Zhang Yifei at any time, and it is impossible to be deceived by illusions. Zhang Yifei has indeed never been outside except for training in the team, even if it is a racing girl at his fingertips, there has never been any dating scandal.

If many people use the title of "racing machine", it is to describe a driver's strong driving skills. So in Prost's heart, Zhang Yifei is a thorough racing machine, the kind without exaggeration!

Prost once had all the doubts in his heart, but when he saw this track, everything suddenly became clear.

Zhang Yifei is not a miser, he does not spend his money on his own luxury, and the standard track of the F1 race level in front of him is all Zhang Yifei's income and property.

Hearing Prost's exclamatory words, Zhang Yifei just smiled, and did not be proud or show off.

After all, no matter how big things are, they are no bigger than life and death, they have already lived again in this world, and if they still regard luxury as the meaning of their lives, it is too boring.

This track is Zhang Yifei's dream and pride, but it has surpassed the ordinary level of showing off. Because as long as this track still exists for one day, then everyone will remember the three words "Zhang Yifei", which is far more noble than selling and boasting.

"Fly, once I thought my dream of a Grand France team was beyond the level of a driver. Now I know, you see farther than I do, if only you were a Frenchman. ”

Prost couldn't help but say what was in his heart after all, in fact, this was not his whimsical thinking, but the more he felt Zhang Yifei's brilliance, the more he expected the Chinese driver to be a Frenchman.

If all this can be changed, then the dream of his own Grand France team will be even more brilliant and dazzling than before. It's just a pity that Zhang Yifei is a Chinese.

"BOSS, maybe China needs my presence even more."

Zhang Yifei still replied with a smile, France has no words of its own, it is still a racing power, even an automobile power.

But if China does not open its own in this era, then history will not be able to change, let alone the establishment of formula clubs, and may not even be able to appear in 20 years of time.

"Yes, China needs you more, and I will be proud of you!"

This sentence is not a compliment, but the highest praise for Zhang Yifei.

After touring the track, the maintenance technician placed the AP05 race car in the container in the lobby of the museum.

The autumn sun shines through the glass curtain wall and shines on the blue and red Prost car, which has a different kind of brilliance.

This time, the prototype car was not disassembled into parts and then assembled on the track, as in previous races, but was transported from the French headquarters in the form of a whole container, and even arrived in Guangzhou and Shenzhen before the team, just to receive it at the airport.

After all, this car is just an exhibit, and it doesn't need the strict inspection requirements of the competition, just according to the ordinary luxury car transportation level.

But this East China Sea Grand Prix, if Zhang Yifei can win the world championship, then this Prost AP05 car will become the F1 champion model, and its status and historical significance will be much more grand.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zhang Yifei to buy it, Prost would not have been able to sell this AP05 prototype anyway.

Of course, in exchange, the No. 13 Prost car driven by Zhang Yifei after the season will be placed in the visiting area of the Prost headquarters in France, which is the real championship car.

After the club and the track part, the next thing to do is the unveiling ceremony and press conference.

The unveiling ceremony was held in the afternoon, but just after 12 o'clock at noon, there were already reporters and fans going one after another, and it was out of control.

By the time it was two o'clock in the afternoon, the number of domestic and foreign reporters had exceeded 200. At least 5,000 fans are present at the ceremony, and the number is still skyrocketing.

To be honest, Zhang Yifei did not plan to be very grand at the unveiling ceremony, and it was not until the start of the Japanese Grand Prix that he decided to inform reporters and the media or something. So the original release area was placed in the hall of the Future Racing Museum, thinking that it should be enough to accommodate a few hundred people.

As a result, the number of people far exceeded expectations, so they simply used an open ceremony, the venue was directly placed on the track, and the audience seats were ready-made, even if there were tens of thousands of people.

Since this is a racing club, let it all start on the track!
