761 Returning home

"Brother Fei, we're going home."

Ah Hu, who was sitting on the plane, looked at the gradually clear street scene outside the porthole, his whole face was almost not attached to the glass, and his tone was full of yearning and excitement.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Zhang Yifei also took a trip back to China, but Ah Hu and Brother Zhi, the team maintenance technicians, in order to ensure the smooth testing of the AP05 car, did not take a holiday during the Lunar New Year.

Carefully calculated, the last time Ah Hu returned to China was a year and a half ago. Even if he never said that he was homesick, it was never possible to let go of his longing for his hometown and family in his heart.

I can finally go home today, and I'm still home!

Because this time, the destination of the plane was not directly to the Donghai International Circuit, but to Guangshen. The passengers were not only Zhang Yifei and Ah Hu, but also the crew members, including the boss Prost, and even brought an AP05 prototype!

The reason why the team and the prototype appeared here is because Zhang Yifei had already entrusted Uncle Lu with something, that is, to build China's first formula club and lay the foundation for the future of Chinese motorsports!

Zhang Yifei will attend the unveiling ceremony of the club, and will also announce at the ceremony that the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Formula Club will reach a strategic cooperation with Prost Racing Team and Huali Automobile Group, and the club will become Prost's training base for youth drivers in China, and Huali Automobile Group will provide financial and technical support.

In fact, in the original idea, the unveiling ceremony was only attended by Zhang Yifei alone, but in the final stage, Zhang Yifei changed his mind and wanted to use the most grand and high-profile way to start the name of the formula club.

He even opened the Prost team as an endorsement, using the world's top F1 team to establish the club's reputation for strength and technology.

At the same time, let Huali Group join, in addition to the need for sponsorship funds and technical support, more Huali Group is also stained, as much as possible to be associated with F1 events, even if it is more "hot" at present.

This is the same effect as many car brands that spend a lot of money to participate in automobile racing, and they also want to use car racing to prove their strength and enhance their brand value.

Since there is this opportunity now, why not bring in the Huali Group and lay out the layout as soon as possible to get rid of the impression of domestic car garbage and cheapness?

And objectively speaking, this is not entirely a heat, after all, the engineers of Huali Group have really begun to participate in the research and development of F1 cars. It's just that it hasn't touched the core design level yet, and it's still stronger than complete false propaganda.

Zhang Yifei, who came from later generations, deeply knew the truth that the aroma of wine was also afraid of deep alleys, and it was even more difficult to establish a high-end brand image.

As long as there is any opportunity, he does not want to let go, and Zhang Yifei is very confident that the Chinese racing industry will not always be a younger brother, let alone because of his decision today, drag the club to smash the signboard.

Twenty years ahead of history, I hope that I can witness the day of success in the future!

"yes, we're home."

Zhang Yifei also looked through the porthole, a bird's-eye view of the familiar Guangshen, it has not been a year since he left last time, it seems that the layout of the city has changed greatly, and there are many more high-rise buildings.

In addition to the changes in the city, Zhang Yifei's mood has also changed a lot this time, because this time he came back, he was no longer "sneaky" in the past, but disclosed his itinerary to the media and went home in the way of returning home!

There is an ancient Chinese saying that the rich do not return to their hometowns, such as brocade clothes walking at night. Zhang Yifei was quite low-key before, except that he was not very suitable for this "star halo" and felt that he had lost too much freedom.

Another point is that I feel that I haven't made any achievements, and this kind of high-profile show-off feels deserved.

Maybe China's first F1 driver, the first sub-station champion, Asia's strongest formula driver and other titles, it seems to be very powerful. In fact, fans and fans throughout Asia do think that Zhang Yifei is very NB!

But Zhang Yifei himself is in the F1 paddock, and he knows very well the gold content of a sub-station championship in his heart. In the past few years, those who have been running F1 in Europe have not won a championship as long as they can gain a foothold and be famous.

Of course, for Asian drivers, it is enough to be proud and proud to win an F1 championship. It's just that Zhang Yifei's goal has never been on any sub-station championship, what he wants is the world championship!

Or even a little higher, surpassing the world champion and becoming a car god like Senna and Schumacher!

Therefore, Zhang Yifei never talked about any sub-station championships, nor did he use this as a publicity point for him to show off when he returned to China. But this is all a thing of the past, and now Zhang Yifei has stood at the door of the world championship at the same time as Schumacher.

He is qualified to use the method of "returning home" to tell Chinese fans that our own drivers are standing at the pinnacle of world racing and have the ability to keep the world's strongest championship title on the East China Sea Circuit!

The news of Zhang Yifei's return to China has spread throughout China through the media, not to mention the arrival of the Prost crew today. Therefore, on the periphery of Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport, there are tens of thousands of fanatical fans and fans ready to pick up the airport, which may be a picture that has never appeared in the history of Chinese sports.

In addition to its own "star-chasing" attributes, it is more because of Zhang Yifei's existence, which makes Chinese fans feel extremely proud.

This is not only the pinnacle of Chinese athletes, but also the pinnacle of the pearl of the automobile industry, the first time that there is the light of Chinese drivers, breaking the monopoly of white people for hundreds of years.

All kinds of banners, flags, slogans, etc., are all over the pick-up hall of Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport, and the black crowd is endless. Even if Zhang Yifei had been mentally prepared before, knowing that there would be many fans and fans this time, he was still shocked when he walked out of the passage and saw this kind of crowded scene.

Because there are so many people, there is more room than you can imagine!

"Zhang Yifei, welcome home!"

"Che Shenfei, you are our pride and a Chinese hero!"

"Donghai won the championship and let the world see our Chinese car superstar!"

"Come on Zhang Yifei, you are the strongest driver, the strongest kind in the world!"

A screaming cheer came, hitting Zhang Yifei's eardrums, to be honest, except for the first few sentences, the other voices were mixed together, and he couldn't hear what was being said clearly.

But Zhang Yifei can clearly see the cheering banners, and these Chinese fans expect him to be at the top of the East China Sea Grand Prix, which belongs to China's home track.

From now on, he is no longer the strongest driver in China and Asia, but the number one in the world!

"So many people? It turns out that flying has such a high popularity in China? ”

Boss Prost was shocked when he saw this scene, he only learned through some data before that Zhang Yifei was already a national superstar in China.

It's just that data is always a number on paper, just like many descriptions are tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or something at every turn. But if you really put hundreds of millions in front of you, you will understand what is called "money mountains and money seas", this kind of visual impact can never be replaced by numbers.

Now Prost is like this, the black crowd, the deafening cheers, all hit his heart.

Once upon a time, he wanted to create a complete Grand French team, become a French hero, and enjoy the admiration and respect of thousands of people. It's just that Prost didn't succeed in the end, but he is here today and sees success in another sense, that is, Zhang Yifei has achieved the achievement of a Chinese hero!

"It's really amazing, but Fei deserves this kind of respect, after all, it gives them hope and stands on the pinnacle!"

Henry looked at the crazy scene in front of him, and the impact in his heart was also amazing.

It's just that he can quickly figure it out, just like when the Prost team was in a desperate situation, Zhang Yifei stood up to save the team, so that all the crew members regarded him as their hope and future.

Now there is no doubt that the crowd has changed, and the members of the Prost crew have become the group of Chinese in front of them.

Fly gave them hope, and brought victory and glory, and there is no doubt that he will enjoy this kind of respect and treatment!

In the pick-up hall, Zhang Yifei did not stay too much except for bowing and thanking and waving his hand to surprise, nor did he accept any interviews from reporters.

Because there will be an official press conference at the opening ceremony of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Formula Club to be held in the afternoon, he will answer the questions of the domestic media and say some things from his heart.

So after waving goodbye, the Prost crew got on the long-awaited bus and the group headed to the formula club. However, Ah Hu, Brother Zhi and the members of the technician team did not follow, they went to the cargo channel of the airport, ready to receive the AP05 car that came together!

This AP05 prototype was bought by Zhang Yifei from the team at his own expense, and its role is to be placed in the most conspicuous position in the hall of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Formula Club in the future!

Zhang Yifei wants to use this AP05 racing car to tell the club's future students and drivers that this is the world's pinnacle automobile race, and this is the world's most high-tech racing car.

If you decide to become a driver, you should take control of this F1 car as your goal and dream, and continue to work in this direction in the future. After all, only those who have witnessed the pinnacle of human automobile industry civilization will be attracted and fascinated by it!

Just like Zhang Yifei in later generations, when he was a child, he stood in front of the shop window and looked at the model of the sports car. Just one glance left a seed in his heart, and he continued to work in this direction in the future, and finally stood on the track.

This AP05 is the seed in the hearts of future Chinese drivers!

The location of the formula club is not very far from Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport, and in less than an hour, Zhang Yifei saw a building from a distance.

As the bus got closer and closer, Zhang Yifei saw clearly that at the gate of the club, there were two familiar figures, Uncle Lu and the old man, who were already waiting for their arrival at the club.

When he was at the airport before, in the face of the welcome and encouragement of tens of thousands of people, although Zhang Yifei was very moved in his heart, he could still control his emotions. In front of him, there was no huge lineup, no warm slogans, only two middle-aged men who were close to half a hundred, leaning over to look at their bus, but Zhang Yifei suddenly felt a sour nose.

It seems that Uncle Lu and the old man are both a little rickety, it seems that this formula club has been built in less than a year, and there is also a standard track, which has cost them too much effort and energy, and the traces left by the years on them have become more and more obvious.

The bus stopped at the door, and Zhang Yifei rushed down from the door as soon as possible and stood in front of Lu Ningping and Zhang Zhiguo.

"I'm back."

"Good to come back, good boy, come back and win the championship this time!"

Zhang Zhiguo does not have the kind of sigh in Zhang Yifei's heart, he only has the joy of seeing his son, and the relief that Zhang Yifei has a future!

After all, this time, Zhang Yifei and Schumacher stood at the door of the world championship at the same time. This situation is something that these older generation drivers once never dreamed of, there is a Chinese driver who can win the world championship, and he is also the world champion of Formula 1!

"As soon as you fly, the club and the track have been repaired, go in and have a look, you shouldn't be disappointed."

Lu Ningping said with a smile at this time, although his words seemed very low-key and indifferent, there was a trace of excitement and excitement in his tone.

Obviously, this Guangshen Formula Club is Lu Ningping's proud work, and he is proud of it!

"Uncle Lu, how can I say that I am disappointed or not disappointed, this is all your hard work, and it has been hard during this time."

Zhang Yifei replied gratefully, those arrogant thoughts in his heart, he didn't have the time and energy to realize, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a hands-off shopkeeper.

A formula club, a standardized track, even in 20 years, this is no small project. But it took Lu Ningping less than a year to achieve Zhang Yifei's arrogant ambition, and the hardships and sweat paid in it are self-evident.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei is very grateful to Lu Ningping, not only to complete his formula dream, but also to countless Chinese drivers in the future, who will go to the world here and impact a higher palace!

"Hard?"

Lu Ningping shook his head, then pointed to the building behind him and said: "This is something that you and your father once couldn't think of, you don't know that I and your father, watching this track take shape day by day, how happy it is in my heart, how hard is there to talk of!" ”

At this time, Lu Ningping finally did not have the calmness he had at the beginning, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"That's right, I and you Uncle Lu, it's worth building this club in this life, and Chinese racing will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Zhang Jianguo also echoed, and at this moment he also looked at the building behind him.

It seems that in the eyes of these older generation drivers, this is not a racing club, but the future of Chinese racing!
