"Quick, too fast, this is the rider, this is the real warrior!"

Lin Wei'an said this sentence in a trembling voice, today's scene brought him too much shock, this is the speed of the real bet with God.

The Isle of Man TT is like this, this life no longer belongs to you after getting in the car, the first gear breaks hundred, the second gear is warped, the third gear is violently accelerated, the fourth gear throttle is in the end, the fifth gear is off the table, and the sixth gear is used to chase the wind and freedom.

After all, compared with four-wheeled racing, two-wheeled motorcycles will be more difficult for stability and control, a little mistake, at this speed there is no possibility of even saving, whether you can survive or not, purely depends on whether Hades accepts this life.

Circle after circle of drivers passed, Zhang Yifei and the audience felt the impact of speed again and again. In fact, it is not only the drivers who are dangerous, but also the spectators who can stand on the scene.

There are no barriers at this speed, and if the car rolls, the motorcycle weighing more than 170 kilograms will crash into the crowd like a bombshell.

Therefore, spectators who stand on both sides of the road and feel the speed of the car at the closest distance had better pray that the drivers will not have any accidents, otherwise there is a high probability of "hitting the pond fish".

The Senior TT has six laps of the course, with the fastest lap winner going on.

It's still 1999, and the Isle of Man TT doesn't have any prize money, and the drivers are fighting for glory purely with their lives. In fact, even if there are bonuses in later generations, the Isle of Man TT is still the one with the least prize money among the world's three major TT races, which is basically dispensable.

Because even if you win the championship of Senior TT, you will get less than 20,000 pounds. It's a good chance that the money won't cover the cost of the event.

Don't think that motorcycle events will be cheaper, as long as it is motorsports, almost all of them are based on the premise of squeezing the mechanical performance potential of the vehicle, and the loss of various components of the racing car will be dozens of times that of ordinary civilian vehicles.

Moreover, the price of racing parts is also much higher than that of civilian goods, and once and again, it will lead to any motorsports becoming a money-burning game, which is nothing more than how much money is burned.

But when it comes to these monetary things, the drivers who choose to race don't care, and neither does the Isle of Man TT.

For decades, Isle of Man TT has insisted on not looking for a title sponsor, not providing official cars, and the rules are not interfered with by the outside world. Officially, because of its standout, it retains the last piece of pure pure land for the grassroots players of pure motorcycle racing.

The six-lap race ended with frantic cheers and the roar of the engine, and Zhang Yifei did not choose to watch the award ceremony. Because, as mentioned earlier, any driver who competes in the Isle of Man TT is a warrior, the position has become less important.

However, at this time, Zhang Yifei still remembered one thing, that is, He Lang said before he came to see a big man.

"He Lang, now that the competition is over, you don't need to sell it. Tell me, what big guy do you want to introduce to me? ”

"You wouldn't think he was on the Isle of Man, would you? I've already made an appointment with him in London. ”

After speaking, He Lang glanced at his watch and continued: "Have a meal now, and then take a plane to London, the time is just right." ”

Faced with He Lang's still refusal to say who the big man was, Zhang Yifei felt a little speechless, he hadn't found out that He Lang liked to sell Guanzi so much.

But then again, in order not to miss the exciting Isle of Man TT race, several people haven't eaten lunch yet. After the excitement of the event faded, my stomach was really a little hungry.

I found a restaurant in the Isle of Man to wrap my stomach, and I have to say that the UK is really a country of "dark cuisine", and the dishes are basically potatoes, pudding and smoked fish.

Even if there are few types, there are still few tricks! Today's baked potatoes, tomorrow's fried potatoes, and the day after tomorrow's mashed potatoes, anyway, Zhang Yifei has been eating for a while, and he really hasn't tasted anything, and it's not as good as instant noodles.

After eating, the group headed to the Isle of Man airport and arrived in London on the previous propeller plane.

Looking at the brightly lit city in front of him, Zhang Yifei kept scanning the buildings on both sides of the road. To be honest, Zhang Yifei has been in the UK for more than ten days, and this is the first time he has come to London, so he is naturally a little curious.

However, the purpose of coming this time was not to play, He Lang first took the group to the hotel where he stayed, and let He Ziling and Lin Weian stay in the hotel to rest for a while. And he and Zhang Yifei took a taxi to London's CBD business district.

Soon the taxi stopped in front of a building, Zhang Yifei got out of the car, looked at the building in front of him, and soon he found that there was a Huaxia Petrochemical logo on the top of the building, and the name of Refining and Chemical Engineering Co., Ltd. was also underneath.

"Huaxia Petrochemical?"

Zhang Yifei asked He Lang in a little surprise, Huaxia Petrochemical actually has a company in the UK?

"Well, this is the refining and chemical engineering subsidiary of Huaxia Petrochemical, which is specially used to bid for refining and chemical projects around the world. Today I want to take you to meet Mr. Tang Qiang, Vice President of Refining and Chemical Engineering of Huaxia Petrochemical Co., Ltd. ”

"What am I doing with him?"

In the face of He Lang's words, Zhang Yifei was completely in a state of confusion, and the vice president of the overseas subsidiary of a giant enterprise like Huaxia Petrochemical could indeed be regarded as a big man.

But the question has nothing to do with yourself, you can't even beat it.

"Have you heard of the Tokai International Circuit?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yifei of the East China Sea International Circuit is naturally clear, this is China's first F1 standard track, and basically no driver will not know.

Historically, the construction of the East China International Circuit began in 2002 and was completed in 2004, and the F1 Chinese Grand Prix was held.

The time of this world has been advanced, and before Zhang Yifei came to Europe, he happened to hear the news that the Donghai International Circuit was preparing to start construction.

"Construction has begun on the Donghai International Circuit, which will be officially put into use in 2001, when China's first F1 Grand Prix will also be held at the Donghai International Circuit."

"Regarding the sponsorship of the Chinese Grand Prix, Huaxia Petrochemical has been in talks with the FIA to discuss the title sponsorship of the Chinese Grand Prix. And in order to better expand the influence of F1 events in China, they also plan to sign a driver as the image spokesperson of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix. ”

"I don't think there's anyone better suited than you to be the face of the drivers for the F1 Chinese Grand Prix. So after I got the news, I recommended you to the senior management of Huaxia Petrochemical through my father. ”

"Mr. Tang Qiang is the leader of the negotiation team between Huaxia Petrochemical and the FIA, and he is also the image interviewer of the driver's spokesperson, which is why I brought you here to meet him."

Hearing He Lang's explanation, Zhang Yifei's heart was full of shock at the moment, he had already known the news of the early construction of the Donghai International Circuit, but he didn't take it to heart.

After all, the entire timeline of this world seems to be in advance, and it is not bad for the East China Sea International Circuit, and even if it is advanced, Zhang Yifei estimates that the construction will start at the end of 1999, and the official competition will have to go in 2002.

As a result, I didn't expect that the speed of China's infrastructure construction should not be underestimated, and the construction period was only two years, and the F1 Chinese Grand Prix will be held in 2001, three years earlier than in history!

If Zhang Yifei remembers correctly, the title sponsor of the 04 F1 Chinese Grand Prix in history is Huaxia Petrochemical Company, which sponsored the FIA for three years at a price of 20 million US dollars a year.

And spent another 260 million yuan to buy TV broadcast rights, which means that in total, Huaxia Petrochemical paid nearly 800 million yuan!

This price may seem exaggerated, but in fact, the FIA has given the best price in consideration of the promotion of F1 in China and the mass base at the time. If it is placed in a car powerhouse such as Germany and the United Kingdom, the sponsorship price will have to be at least tripled.

Especially the TV rights, the price of the broadcast rights bought by the UK at that time was as high as 300 million pounds!

Now not only is the East China International Circuit ahead of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix, but there is also the F1 Chinese Grand Prix driver spokesperson project, and the change in history is really a bit big.

Seeing that Zhang Yifei was in a state of stunned, He Lang thought that he was too excited to hear the driver's spokesperson, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, don't be too excited, calm down and prepare to accept President Tang's interview." ”

After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhang Yifei did not say, He Lang added: "But don't be too nervous, you are the first F1 driver in China, judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that there will be a second F1 driver in the next few years, so no one will compete with you." ”

"As long as there is no big accident, the identity of this driver's spokesperson must be yours."

Listening to He Lang muttering a lot, Zhang Yifei didn't listen to it at all. The main reason why he was stunned was that the history in his memory was compared with the reality of this world, and he wanted to get more information.

But unfortunately, Zhang Yifei didn't know in advance that he would come to this world, and it is not easy to remember a lot of things, how can he do everything?

But there is one thing that Zhang Yifei can be sure of now, that is, he needs the identity of this driver spokesperson.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the spokesperson has an endorsement fee, and he is very short of money now, and Zhang Yifei feels that he will hover on the verge of "bankruptcy" after running at Silverstone Station.

Money, in fact, Zhang Yifei didn't care much about it before, after all, his life has been relived once, what else can't he see?

But now Zhang Yifei has to admit that money is not everything, but no money is everything. Even if he becomes an F1 driver, the Prost team itself is about to go bankrupt, and in addition to the basic salary, it is estimated that he will not get anything from the shared salary.

Once you become the spokesperson of the F1 Chinese Grand Prix, in addition to your own endorsement fee, you will further enhance your reputation in China, which may form a domino effect, and more companies will look at themselves.

You must know that Zhang Yifei has a lot of goals in the future, and when some ideas and ambitions burst out, even he felt scared.

Dreams also need financial support, and it's time to think about finances!
