"Actually, it's because of the money."

Xie Tiancheng replied with a wry smile, the answer is as simple as that.

"At that time, his mother had a very serious heart attack and needed surgery, like a stent or something. I don't know the specifics, I just know that it takes hundreds of thousands. ”

"You also know that Ah Hui is not a rich second generation, his family background can only be regarded as average, and the money he uses to play cars is basically to help others modify cars or event bonuses, until he enters the Honda team, he can barely break even."

"At that time, he had just signed for Volvo Teams, but he was only a development driver, and he couldn't get hundreds of thousands at once. At this time, there was a big street race in Japan, in the famous bay coast, so he was found to be a gun, and as long as he lost to his opponent, then his employer helped him pay for the operation. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yifei understood that Zhou Yunhui still participated because of money, but in the end he didn't take the money.

"He didn't lose?"

"Hmm."

Xie Tiancheng nodded and continued: "Although Ah Hui promised to help the other party run, in the end, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so he chose to go all out and won the other party. ”

It was because of his actions that the employer behind him suffered a lot of losses, and he directly poked out the underground gambling car, which led to his dismissal from the rich team and cut off his future. However, in the end, Brother K in Yuen Long helped him pay for the operation, so he owed the Yuen Long team. ”

After Xie Tiancheng finished speaking, he raised the wine glass on the table and took another sip, followed by silence.

"What about you, how did you get involved with him?"

Zhang Yifei continued to ask.

"At that time, we were all in Japan, and there were not many Chinese riders running on the streets in Japan, and there were even fewer who were a little famous, so naturally we all knew each other. It's just that he wasn't in the same area at the time, he ran the bay shore and I ran the mountain trail. ”

"Later, when I returned to Hong Kong Island, I met him up for a run in Tai Mo Shan, when I had to stop the race early due to a brake system failure. However, although I didn't finish that game, I actually lost, but Ah Hui didn't announce the results in order to take care of my face. ”

"Ah Hui is very strong, I think it's similar to you, so I really want to see a real strong matchup, that's why I help him."

Zhang Yifei smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth after hearing it, and also took a sip of juice, but he didn't expect Zhou Yunhui's experience to be really rich, and he really went through heaven and hell.

"To be honest, I kind of wanted to run along, not because of his strength or anything, but because he said to run the track."

On the mountain roads and on the streets, Zhang Yifei has already run through, and he has also faced off against many masters. But the real speed of racing cars is always on the track, in this era, except for professional drivers, it is rare to meet people who are willing to run the track, Zhou Yunhui is the first one he has encountered.

"So you agreed?"

A happy expression appeared on Xie Tiancheng's face, and Zhang Yifei's tone relaxed.

"No, I've been very busy lately, and I really don't have time."

It's not that Zhang Yifei is making any excuses, but he has really been busy recently, whether it is go-kart training or fitness exercises, he has already arranged his schedule too full.

Next up is he has to face a karting event, which is not a major competition, but it is also a ladder, and he must enter the final to upgrade his kart license.

At the same time, he also promised Shen Dong that he might go to the East China Sea to run with him, but the three-month period was still relatively long, and Shen Dong didn't call to urge, maybe he was also in the preparation period.

What's more important is that Zhang Yifei still has the idea of running the Yanjing Underground Competition, which is purely for the 500,000 prize money. Because Zhang Yifei also knows that at present, he uses a super kart to carry out such high-intensity training, and he can't calculate it according to one or two thousand ordinary students a month.

Zhang Yifei preliminarily estimated that his monthly consumption of tires, engine parts, oil, etc., was at least double that of ordinary students, and this did not include the venue fee and coach fee.

If these are counted, Zhang Yifei needs at least 50,000 yuan a month to maintain his current training intensity.

Money is the biggest difficulty faced by drivers in the early days, just like Zhou Yunhui, if he is not short of money, he will not choose to use it as a gun for traders. According to Uncle Lu's previous thoughts, Zhang Yifei may go to Europe for training, which is also a lot of money, and the 500,000 underground bonus can support himself for training in Europe for a period of time.

Xie Tiancheng also knew that Zhang Yifei was not the kind of person who deceived and perfunctory, he said that he didn't have time, there must be something entangled.

So he said in a regretful tone: "I thought I could see a peak showdown, but it's a pity." Now Ah Hui is looking for a professional team for trial, but he has a professional stain, and it is very difficult to enter the professional team again, so I hope he can succeed. ”

When he was in Japan, Xie Tiancheng was very optimistic about Zhou Yunhui, but he didn't expect to come to this point.

"I also hope that he will succeed."

Zhang Yifei is also a sincere blessing, he is also a professional driver, he knows what it means for Zhou Yunhui to enter the European team, just because he can stick to his bottom line in that situation, he deserves Zhang Yifei's respect.

"Okay, I still have to hurry up and train every day, so I'll go back first."

Everything has been said and done, Zhang Yifei has to go for a morning run every morning, and then go to the club to train, he really has no time to entertain in the bar.

"I'll send you."

"No, you can have fun."

Zhang Yifei patted Xie Tiancheng on the shoulder, then got up and walked towards the door, but after he walked a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "You tell Zhou Yunhui that as long as I can arrange time, I will run a field race with him at that time." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yifei turned around and left directly, and Xie Tiancheng would help him convey it.

……

Time passed day by day, and Zhang Yifei's first go-kart event was close at hand.

During this period of time, Zhang Yifei's karting skills have been upgraded to a higher level again, and those young students of the club can't even play the role of sparring partners, so they can only act as "obstacles" on the track to practice overtaking for Zhang Yifei.

At the same time, the physical fitness has also been upgraded to a higher level, originally at this age is in the stage of vitality, plus Zhang Yifei's body is not weak, at least in the middle and upper level of students, but the physical fitness is worse than that of the professional drivers who have been professionally trained in later generations.

After nearly two months of regular exercise, Zhang Yifei can already see some muscle lines, as long as he persists for about half a year, he can basically meet Zhang Yifei's needs for ordinary professional events.

As for the super high level of F1, Zhang Yifei has no chance to run now anyway, he still has time to exercise.

However, at the moment when Zhang Yifei was making final preparations for the karting event, a strange call hit his mobile phone, and at first Zhang Yifei thought it was a harassing call and did not answer, and when the second call rang, Zhang Yifei pressed the answer button.

"Hey, who's that?"

"I'm Shen Dong, I've already decided the way of racing, it's at the Donghai Volkswagen Circuit, let's run a track race!"
