After eating, Zhang Yifei and Lu Ningping came to the balcony as before and began to talk about some serious things.

"Uncle Lu, how much is the $4 million I gave you before?"

At the end of the Malaysian station before, Zhang Yifei gave Lu Ningping all his worth, hoping that he could build a professional karting training base in the mainland and cultivate some potential domestic geniuses.

As the saying goes, education has to start from the baby, Zhang Yifei doesn't want to retire after he retires, like a meteor crossing the sky, and in the end there is nothing left, and the country is still barren.

"I have already bought a piece of land in Guangshen and spent more than one million US dollars, and then asked someone to buy collision equipment such as car frames in Italy, which temporarily spent 300,000 US dollars. At this stage, there are about two million dollars left, but the next track construction and garage construction will need money. ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Yifei felt a headache, he really hated less money when he used it, and he should have done more side hustles to make money before!

"Uncle Lu, stop the construction of the track for the time being, and leave two million dollars to buy Penguin shares. If the money is not enough, Uncle Lu, you can find a way to lend me a little. ”

Zhang Yifei is not a person who borrows money easily, but he knows that Brother Xiao Ma is exhausted this time, and he can buy 40% of Penguin's shares with only 2.2 million US dollars, and it will appreciate more than ten times after a year.

For Penguin shares, Zhang Yifei plans to buy as much as he wants, or the previous sentence, he has to buy it when he smashes the pot and sells iron! After completing this business, you will really be able to achieve the kind of chic that money is all numbers and money is floating clouds!

"Don't worry, since you see Penguin Company like this, then Uncle Lu will definitely fully support you."

"Thank you, Uncle Lu, tomorrow you will help me contact the rich and entrepreneurs on Hong Kong Island, this time the time is tight."

The change of the Prost team should be within this month, Zhang Yifei does not want to let the cooked pigeon fly, and must seize the time to preemptively invest in the shares to ensure that the new car has enough time for research and development.

He didn't want the performance of the Prost JS54 to come up, and as a result, the stability went down again. Just like this year's McLaren, the data on paper is fierce, and the actual running is all kinds of problems.

"Can you hold it on your legs?"

It's no problem to contact the Hong Kong Island tycoon and the company, but now Zhang Yifei is dragging this plaster leg to negotiate, which is really too hard.

"Uncle Lu, we are all professional drivers, so we don't need to ask this question again."

"You kid......"

That night, Zhang Yifei and Junko Takeda were at the hotel near Uncle Lu's house, ready to negotiate investment the next day.

Lu Ningping was not idle for a moment, and asked someone to ask for Xiao Ma's address that night, and prepared to take the beard as soon as possible.

The next morning, before he even had time to eat breakfast, Zhang Yifei went to see Brother Xiaoma.

To be honest, when he sat in the car, Zhang Yifei was still very excited in his heart, after all, this super Internet tycoon, primary school student terminator, and krypton gold madman in China in the future......

But when Zhang Yifei really saw Brother Xiaoma, he was far from having the temperament of a big man in later generations, on the contrary, in front of Zhang Yifei, he behaved more like a "primary school student".

Because in the eyes of Xiao Ma, Zhang Yifei is currently a domestic sports superstar, and his fame and status far exceed that of himself, a young entrepreneur. And Zhang Yifei still has the identity of an investor, which can be regarded as the father of the financier, no matter from which point of view, Brother Xiao Ma is indeed in a weak position in front of Zhang Yifei.

Restraining the excitement in his heart, Zhang Yifei tried his best to use a business perspective to talk to Xiao Ma and negotiate the acquisition of 40% of his Penguin Company's shares.

The negotiation process was much smoother than Zhang Yifei imagined, and there was no basic bargaining.

On the one hand, Zhang Yifei knows the future prospects of Penguin, and only 40% of the shares are quoted at 2.2 million US dollars.

On the other hand, Brother Xiao Ma has suffered a lot of scorn and contempt during this time, how many times he has been turned away from those bigwigs to pull venture capital, and the company's share price has also fallen again and again, he has no confidence in himself, and he doesn't know how to make a profit on the penguin.

And Zhang Yifei, who suddenly appeared, decided to invest in Penguin without saying a word with an extremely sincere attitude and appreciation. This made Xiao Ma feel that his own value was affirmed, and even gave birth to a kind of psychology of dying for his confidant!

At this time, as long as Zhang Yifei raised his arms and exhaled, it is estimated that he will be able to accept Brother Xiaoma as his younger brother......

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, after reaching a verbal agreement, Zhang Yifei asked Junko Takeda to stay and deal with the details of the contract for the transfer of equity, after all, Junko Takeda is now his driver's agent, and it just so happens that these things are very suitable for her career.

As for Zhang Yifei himself, he followed Lu Ningping to negotiate with powerful enterprises and wealthy people on Hong Kong Island one by one, hoping that they could invest in him, or jointly invest in the Prost team.

At this moment, Zhang Yifei began to feel the mental journey of Brother Xiao Ma before, and in a few days, all the Hong Kong Island companies and tycoons he saw gave the answer of refusal. Even some people still show a contemptuous attitude, thinking that Zhang Yifei doesn't understand what business is mixed in?

And in the face of these old foxes, Zhang Yifei's flickering skills are completely inadequate, and in front of them he is simply at the level of a primary school student. As for the real business prospects and profit reasons, Zhang Yifei can't say.

It's impossible to tell someone that you're from the future, so you don't need to discuss it, you can make a profit if you listen to me, right?

suffered setbacks one after another, which made Zhang Yifei feel like he was hit hard, and he was still too naïve to think about it before. thought that by relying on the identity of a sports superstar, he could easily get the support of these local tyrants.

Now it seems that at the level of one or two million US dollars, it is estimated that many people are willing to try it, but the amount of tens of millions of US dollars is still too large, and there is not enough profit guarantee, even if it is a venture capital, they are not willing to intervene.

To put it bluntly, before you win the title, you can't just rely on the three words Zhang Yifei to sell for money. Who knows if it will be short-lived, and finally disappear with everyone.

After all, F1 is a field that has never been broken through at all, and the vast majority of people are actually not confident.

And the "running" for several days also made Zhang Yifei's injured right leg start to become congested. Even if he is physically strong, he can't withstand this.

Just when Zhang Yifei felt physically and mentally exhausted and didn't know where to go next, he received a call from He Lang from Yanjing.

"Yifei, you are going to come to Yanjing, I have a few companies here that intend to cooperate."

This voice, for Zhang Yifei, is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

To be honest, he is not very confident in the investment of mainland enterprises in this era.

Because if Formula F1 hadn't been born by itself, it would have to wait until the start of the East China Sea Station in 04, and most ordinary people would know that there was such a thing as F1. For enterprises, in addition to the old FAW, Dongfeng and other state-owned enterprises, such as Geely, Chery, BYD and other well-known private enterprises, the establishment year is only a few years.

To say that it sounds good, it is still in the imitation stage, and to say that it is not good, it is still at the level of copycat foreign models. Asking them to sponsor and invest in Formula 1 is equivalent to learning to fly without even learning how to run.

The sponsorship and investment of state-owned enterprises is not the kind of advertising sponsorship before, and the real acquisition and operation of an F1 team faces many problems in policies and regulations, which cannot be solved in a simple month or two.

So Zhang Yifei called He Lang, more with the mentality of being a dead horse as a live horse doctor, leaving himself a glimmer of hope. It's just that what he didn't expect was that this glimmer of hope became the dawn!

"Which companies, really fake?"

It may be that the surprise was too sudden, and Zhang Yifei couldn't believe it.

"Am I going to joke with you about this kind of thing? There are Huaxia Petrochemical, CCTV, Guangshen Aigostar Group, Huali Automobile Group in Zhejiang Province, etc., these companies are interested in getting the news, you should come to Yanjing to talk to them as soon as possible. ”

"Holy, so much?"

When Zhang Yifei heard it, he was surprised, he thought that it would be almost impossible to have one in the mainland, but he didn't expect He Lang to casually say four!

And when he heard the names of these companies, Zhang Yifei suddenly had a familiar memory in his mind, as if these companies had sponsored F1 teams in history.

Needless to say, Huaxia Petrochemical is the title sponsor of China's East China Sea Grand Prix and is poised to use the east wind of F1 to compete overseas with giants such as Shell and Exxon.

CCTV is the domestic broadcaster of F1 and bought the rights to the event. It is also with the idea of going international and controlling the right to speak, and in 03, at a price of 12 million US dollars, sponsored the Jordan team, and the LOGO is still under the most conspicuous on-board camera.

As for the Patriot Group, it used to be the largest electronics manufacturer in China, and such as MP3 and MP4 were all the rage. It's just that it won't be until '07 when it sponsors F1, and with a total of $19 million, it sponsors McLaren, one of the Big Three.

The only thing that surprised Zhang Yifei was the last Huali Automobile Group, which has never sponsored an F1 team in history. The real rise of the time point will have to wait until 10 years, and the feat of swallowing the elephant was completed to acquire the Swedish Volvo car brand.

And now Huali Group, less than five years after the establishment of the car brand, it is not too much to call it a small shrimp in the world, and it actually has the ambition to enter F1! Could it be that Huali Group is just like in history, with a restless heart in its weak body, and it plans to do something at this point in time?
