The $500 million gambling contract is not just signed, it has to go through a very complicated process, and there are many legal documents to prepare. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info so whether it is Zhang Guan or Omi, they will find their respective lawyers to prepare and draw up a contract that is mutually acceptable, which will take some time.

In a mansion in Mumbai, Omi sits in front of two men in their sixties, his father and uncle, the ruling generation of the Mariya family.

With such a large figure of 500 million US dollars, of course, Ommy can't come up with it, and he can't make a final decision, so he must tell his father and uncle about this matter and seek help from the family.

"Omi, you've disappointed me so much! I thought that sending you to study in the UK would teach you the composure and calmness of a gentleman, but look at what you have done! 500 million US dollars! Do you think it's a child's house? Father said with a serious face.

"Dad, I didn't agree on the spur of the moment." Omi immediately said: "Zhang Guan claims to become a Formula 1 driver next season, and he wants to win the Formula 1 world championship, how likely do you think this is?" ”

Without waiting for his father to speak, Omi asked himself and said, "The former is possible, but the latter is completely unlikely." Motorsport is not like any other sport. Yes, Zhang Guan is the fastest person in the world, and he can also cross multiple sports, but that doesn't mean he will be the fastest driver in the world, motorsport is not just good physical fitness, and the world champion in Formula 1 needs not only first-class technology, but also a good car. Even if Schumacher were given a car that he didn't have the ability to win, it would be difficult for him to work a miracle. ”

"So far, Zhang Guan may be able to get a place as an official Formula 1 driver, after all, some small teams can compete for a driver's position through commercial sponsorship, but how can a small team have the strength to win the Formula 1 championship?" Omi continued.

In Formula 1, a team has two permanent drivers, a test driver, and occasionally one or two second or third test drivers. Formula 1 is the best motorsport in the world, and it is not permissible to be a test driver in a Formula 1 team.

However, if you have money, you can get the official driver's position through sponsorship, such as the previous Japanese driver Yamamoto Sakami, whose skills are terrible, can be called the "road killer" in Formula 1, but he obtained the official driver's position of the Super Aguri team with his sponsor; There is also a Russian driver in the future who has secured a driver's position for himself with a multi-million dollar sponsorship contract.

However, this is something that can only happen in a small team, and the small team has less money and less money to invest in the team, and a 10 million dollar sponsorship can almost offset the team's expenses for a year. But big teams like Ferrari and McLaren that have the ability to win championships will definitely not have sponsor drivers, and big teams need top drivers like Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen, and if there is a person like Schumacher, it is very welcome.

Omi continued: "Judging from last season's points, the four teams that can compete for the Formula 1 championship are none other than Ferrari, McLaren, Renault and BMW Sauber, but their drivers have already been determined. Ferrari has Raikkonen and Massa, McLaren's Hamilton and Kovalainen, Renault has Alonso and Piquet Jr., and BMW Sauber has Kubica and Highfield. These drivers are either world champion-level racers, seasoned veterans, or new talents with unlimited potential, and I don't think Zhang Guan will be able to get a place as an official driver for these teams unless Zhang Guan buys them. ”

Omi said this, laughing to himself: "These are all manufacturer teams, Ferrari, McLaren, Renault, BMW Sauber, will Zhang Guan be able to buy them?" I think even if you have money, people may not want to sell it! ”

Omi's father and uncle nodded at the same time, as Omi said, such as Ferrari and McLaren, a century-old store in Formula 1, even if they have money, people will not sell it.

"The chances of all Zhang Guan winning next year's Formula 1 championship are completely zero!" Omi shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Dad, I didn't agree to this bet in a hot head, the reason why I agreed to this bet is because I think this bet will bring us a huge profit in the Maria family!" Zhang Guan is unlikely to win next season's Formula 1 championship. $500 million is enough for the next three years of our Force India fleet, and since Zhang Guan is here to send money, why don't we do it! ”

"Big brother, I think Omi is right." Omi's uncle turned his head and said: "Formula 1 is more expensive than we thought, our Indian Power team, which spent $127 million last year, but we still didn't get a single point in the end, although a large part of it was invested in the development of new cars, but it also proves that the difference in the car has a huge impact on the final result." A small team, not Ferrari, not McLaren, not Renault, let alone winning the championship, even getting the top three in the grid is very difficult. Even if Zhang Guan has Schumacher-like driving skills, it is impossible to achieve good results without a decent racing car! I think we can take the $500 million bet! Since someone is sending money, let's not want it in vain! ”

……

At the same time, in the hotel, Zhang Guanzheng and He Yiming talked on the phone.

"500 million dollars, you're playing big enough this time!" He Yiming's voice was slightly excited, and it could be seen that in the face of this number, even he, who had always been calm, couldn't sit still.

"Originally, I wanted to say one or two hundred million to teach that gentleman a lesson, but I didn't expect him to raise 500 million himself! By the way, this Mariya family, have you checked it? Do they have the ability to come up with that much money, but don't end up paying the bills! Zhang Guan asked.

"I haven't heard of this Mariya family before, so I checked it for you, and it scared me when I checked it! The Maria family has a lot of assets around the world, they own a lot of assets on the West Coast of the United States, and they are mainly concentrated in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Las Vegas has their hotels, Monaco Monte Carlo has their shares, their family also has a large financial investment in Hong Kong, and their family's relatively large assets are an airline. He Yiming said.

"Airlines? Is it large-scale? Zhang Guan then asked.

"Whether the scale is big or not, you have to compare it with whom. Let me give you a brief explanation. In addition to domestic flights from India, the Mariya family of airlines also fly to London, Dubai, Dhaka, Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong. At the moment, they have close to 100 planes on board, some of which are on order. The main aircraft are the Airbus A320 and A321, and there are 15 Airbus A330s, 5 Airbus A350s, and 5 Airbus A380s. and a number of aircraft ordering rights. He Yiming said.

Zhang Guan silently calculated in his heart that the cheapest Airbus A320 will cost $30 million for new aircraft, and the price of A350 and A380 will exceed $300 million.

Zhang Guan didn't expect that he would really provoke a rich man this time, he opened his mouth and said: "So rich! Then this Mariya family is afraid that it must have tens of billions of dollars in assets! Why haven't you heard of it before? Why didn't you make it to the Forbes rich list or something. ”

"There are so many invisible rich people who don't want others to know. Look at those chiefs in the Middle East, they are all very rich, aren't they not on the rich list! He Yiming paused, and then said: "The Mariya family bought the Sjuker team last year, and then changed its name to the Indian Power team, it is said that they invested more than 100 million US dollars in the team last year, which is second only to Ferrari, McLaren and Toyota, and higher than Renault and BMW Sauber." So I think for 500 million dollars, this Mariya family can definitely take it. ”

"That's great, I've signed so many advertising endorsements, and I haven't made that much, and when next season's Formula 1 race is over, we will have 500 million dollars in hand, and we can take on fewer ads." Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Are you so confident? That's a Formula 1 car! It's not the same as what you've been competing in before. You compete in athletics, running faster and jumping farther than others. Participate in tennis and basketball, play better than others, that's because you do have an advantage in the sport of racing, you don't have a good car, it is impossible to get good results! What's more, you're not a race car driver yet, you first have to get a Formula 1 Super Driver's License, and then you have to find a team that wants you. He Yiming said.

"It's one thing." Zhang Guan said.

"So you're going to contact that team? Williams Racing? I think if you have a $20 million sponsorship, they're going to be willing to give you a place as an official driver. He Yiming said.

"Why go to someone else's convoy? Let's be our own boss this time! Zhang Guan said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
