390 Convoy Transfer

Sophia is indeed a Prost Racing Girl, but she's not a volunteer, more like a member of the team.

After all, the Diniz family, which owns 20% of the shares of the Prost team, is the second largest shareholder of the team in addition to the founder Prost, and also surpasses the title sponsor Acer Computer Europe.

But compared with the fame of Acer computers, the Diniz family is much more low-key, they are the top ten richest people in Brazil, the main industry is clothing and import and export trade, the German Puma Group's largest agent and manufacturer in South America, is the Diniz family.

In 1999, Puma began to enter China, but compared with the influence of Nike and Adi, Puma is obviously much weaker.

Therefore, Puma Group began to find another way, football, basketball, which have been considered long-term battles, and every time a star or team is signed, you need to pay a high price. But in sports such as boxing, golf, and motorsports, the signing price has not yet been speculated, as long as the target is not at the superstar level like Schumacher, basically millions of dollars can be picked at will.

So they set their sights on Zhang Yifei, a rookie driver with a low price, but in the Chinese market, it has an unparalleled huge influence. As the world's largest market with a population of 1.2 billion, the signing fee of $3 million is undoubtedly cost-effective.

Diniz originally wanted Prost to discuss directly with Zhang Yifei, but Sophia heard the news and volunteered to come over to negotiate. The main reason is that she feels a deep curiosity about Zhang Yifei, a rookie driver from China.

Before entering F1, many media reported on Zhang Yifei, but most of his image in the media was arrogant, arrogant, and unscrupulous.

This image is completely different from the previous impression of Chinese, so Sophia wants to see what is so special about this Chinese newcomer that can make a calculating person like Prost risk and controversy to sign him.

What Sophia didn't expect was that Zhang Yifei, who came into contact with the lounge, was completely different from the media reports. Adjectives such as quiet, low-key, forbearance, etc., can be placed on him.

Most of his free time is spent in the break room, patiently watching the game videos or discussing tactics with the team's strategy team. And I can humbly listen to the opinions of the chief race engineer, and I am completely the same as the image in the report!

But once Zhang Yifei stands on the track, the Chinese driver will have to add a kill behind the low-key and forbearance.

Zhang Yifei on the track is extremely aggressive and full of aggression, without the quiet shadow in the lounge at all, as if Zhang Yifei seems to have two forms, and the contrast is very large.

In addition, there is another point that makes Sophia feel very dissatisfied, that is, in the past few days at the Albert Park Circuit, Zhang Yifei has met with him in the lounge passage several times, and he really hasn't looked at himself seriously, which is fundamentally different from other European and American drivers!

You must know that many F1 drivers are used to hooking up with racing girls during breaks. And Zhang Yifei behaved as if he was not a woman, which couldn't help but make Sophia doubt her charm.

That's why tonight, she dressed up hot and deliberately teased Zhang Yifei. Although the Chinese driver finally controlled himself, Sophia still felt Zhang Yifei's many subtle movements, such as swallowing saliva, and his psychological changes.

This makes Sophia very satisfied, it seems that this piece of Chinese wood still knows how to appreciate beauty.

Now that she has proved her charm, Sophia's actions are much more normal later, and she began to tell Zhang Yifei some specific details of sponsorship.

For example, PUMA will sponsor the racing shoes worn by Zhang Yifei and print the PUMA logo on the racing clothes. The reason why I didn't say that I sponsored the racing uniforms was because now the clothing of the Prost team has been provided by Puma, and there is no need to sign a double contract with Zhang Yifei.

In fact, Puma did not only start working with Prost Racing, since the 70s, Puma has been under contract with Scuderia Ferrari, and it can be said that they are one of the core partners of Scuderia Ferrari.

Later, PUMA also sponsored Williams, BMW-Sauber Racing, and even became an official F1 partner. Being able to buy the merchandise of the official F1 and even all its teams in the Puma store, it can be said that Puma's influence in F1 is similar to Nike's status in the NBA.

At the same time, Zhang Yifei will also become the spokesperson of Puma Greater China, which is the main purpose of their choice to sign Zhang Yifei. The Chinese market is too big and the economy is starting to take off, and PUMA has shown its ambition to seize this emerging market!

After chatting about the main direction of the contract, Zhang Yifei talked to Sophia about some light topics.

This kind of dialogue is more of Sophia's curiosity about Zhang Yifei's various inquiries and one-sided inquiries. At the same time, Zhang Yifei also knew that these teasing actions tonight were intentional by Sophia, otherwise he really thought that he was full of charm and had some kind of peach blossom luck.

The conversation was almost over, and the drinking party was at the end of the day, and many of the drivers had already walked out of the bar with their female companions.

Among them are several famous F1 playboys, such as David Coulthard, who has no less than five supermodel-level female companions in the news of his later life.

After all, from an objective point of view, it is not surprising that Cothard is a very masculine man, coupled with the good physique of top drivers, and has become a famous "beauty killer".

In addition, Eddie Erwin, Villeneuve, and Ralph Schumacher are not fuel-efficient lamps.

However, compared with these veteran playboys, newcomers such as Alonso and Jenson Button are not to be outdone.

Jenson Buttonon Zhang Yifei knows, this guy is similar to Welsh 800m star Davidson and model Beverly? Bloom, Rosa, and even Coulthard's two ex-girlfriends, Simone and supermodel Campbell, have been rumored to be in a relationship.

A character who can be ranked at the top of the F1 all-time playboy rankings.

It's the head brother Alonso, Zhang Yifei pays more attention to his professional achievements, but he didn't expect to have such a side.

But if you think about it carefully, after Alonso's divorce in later life, there were a lot of scandals, such as Russian young models, Spanish sports anchors, and Linda, the ex-girlfriend of motorcycle king Rossi, etc., anyway, there are a lot of them.

What really surprised Zhang Yifei was that an open Latin rider like Montoya actually chose to leave alone.

It seems that Montoya is engaged to his girlfriend, in a sense, he is a more dedicated driver in F1, and he can't look at people with impressions.

In addition, what made Zhang Yifei not the slightest surprise was that Kimi Raikkonen, the iceman was still relatively cold, he himself was half a professional driver, half otaku, and did not provoke racing girls, which is also very in line with his image.

As for the other drivers, Zhang Yifei didn't pay much attention to it, and tonight he had fully satisfied the gossip mentality of F1 drivers in his later life.

After all, he is a professional driver, and he is not an entertainment journalist, so it is almost enough.

Walking out of the door of the bar, Alessi had already parked the car at the door, and when he saw Zhang Yifei coming out with Sophia, he said: "Do you want me to lend you the car and send Sophia home"

As for Sophia's identity, Alessi already knew that in the afternoon, he looked at Zhang Yifei's speechless behavior, in fact, he wanted to tell him about Sophia.

But there was no chance at the time, and then he was instructed by Sophia, and in the end he didn't expose it.

Now it seems that Zhang Yifei and Sophia get along quite well, he doesn't mind the beauty of adults and helps this Chinese teammate.

The meaning of sending Sophia home is obvious, and in the face of such a temptation, Zhang Yifei hesitated a little in his heart. Sophia, a hot stunner, is really a bit difficult to control as a man, let alone Zhang Yifei, who is still a single dog.

Especially in the atmosphere of tonight, it is easy to develop a herd mentality. But I don't know why, when Zhang Yifei wants to say yes, a figure in white clothes always appears in his mind, which may be the real reason for his hesitation.

However, Sophia helped Zhang Yifei make a choice, and she said, "No need, my driver has already driven over." ”

As she spoke, a Mercedes drove up and pulled up behind Alessi's Maserati.

This answer also made Zhang Yifei breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he would really be a little shaken as a man in the face of the temptation of a stunner like Sophia.

"Okay, I guess we will see you in Malaysia when we say goodbye today."

"Well, see you in Malaysia."

Zhang Yifei waved goodbye, Sophia is not an official member of the team, and her status as a team girl is also a ticket.

But since the other party said so, it means that she will still appear in the Prost team in Malaysia, and Zhang Yifei naturally responded.

But then again, why is there a little expectation in my heart, is this a man?

Waving goodbye, Zhang Yifei sat on Alessi's body, and the two did not go to the hotel, but the team pit stop on the track.

Because after a race, it takes about six to eight hours for the team to finish packing the supplies. And at noon the next day, all the cargo planes will set sail to transport the supplies to the next overseas station, which is the Sepang circuit in Malaysia.

Therefore, this time is very tight, especially for the Prost team, which is not well staffed, and the work is very difficult and intensive.

"What do you think of Sophia?"

Alessi, who was driving, suddenly asked, interrupting Zhang Yifei, who was looking at the street scenery on both sides.

"Ah, that's good."

Zhang Yifei reacted and replied casually.

"Sophia, I'm more familiar, she's not an open girl, tonight just to test you, should be able to meet your Chinese standards."

"Alessi, when did you have the potential to be a marriage broker?"

Zhang Yifei naturally understood Alessi's words, so he laughed and teased, now the relationship between the two people has eased a lot compared to the beginning, at least this level of joke, don't care too much.

"I'm just telling you."

The French veteran's impression of Zhang Yifei has changed greatly after experiencing the main match.

It's just that the loss of the No. 1 driver in the original intra-team competition still made Alessi a little angry, so it doesn't matter if there is no Zhang Yifei.

After all, it is the loser's mentality that can't let go, and the winner won't care about this.

As a top professional driver, and with the night on the deserted streets, Alessi was fast, and in less than twenty minutes, the two were on the Albert Park circuit. Pit area at the moment. It can be described as a brilliant light, and all the convoys are nervously dismantling.

Prost team pit station, Zhang Yifei from a distance saw the boss Prost, who was anxiously directing the team members to disassemble, judging from his large movements and fast tone, the team's transition did not seem to be so smooth.

But what really made Zhang Yifei feel important was the chief technician Charlie, the team's technical director Cord, and Kossell and others, who were gathered in front of the disassembled car, as if they were discussing something.
