96: First day of employment
Arriving at Maranello, the two were not taken directly by Lupos to Ferrari's headquarters, but were taken to what looked like an independent community surrounded by a fence.
"This is the dormitory that Ferrari has prepared for its employees, which is where you will live for the rest of the period, and of course, if you rent your own house, you can also move out, and Ferrari has no restrictions on that." Lupos introduced.
Then he led the two of them into a house.
The houses are divided into two floors, but these two floors are independent of each other.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were assigned to the upper floor, and after walking through the stairs inside the house to the second floor, Lu Bo pushed open the door that was not locked at all.
After entering the interior of the house, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng looked at this place curiously.
The furnishings inside the house are very ordinary and not luxurious, but it can be seen that people often clean and clean, and the rooms are filled with various items that can often be used in life, so the interior of the house does not look empty, but has a sense of home.
The size of the house is moderate, and it is about sixty square meters, but Qin Miao, who has just entered the door, can't tell which rooms there are.
"The property rights of this community are in the hands of Ferrari, so you don't have to pay rent while you live and work at Ferrari, and of course, you have to take care of the electricity and heating yourself."
Lu Bos took out a set of keys from the shoe cabinet at the entrance and handed it to Qin Miao: "This is your key, remember not to lose it, although there is a spare key in the company, but if you lose the key and find a logistics application, you will inevitably be complained." ”
When he said this, Lu Bo's face was a little unnatural, if nothing else, he should have had a black history in this area.
Qiu Meng took the key and thanked her.
Sure that Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were quite satisfied with the house here and did not ask for a replacement, Lu Bos said: "If you are satisfied with the house, put your luggage down, it is safe here, no one will touch your things, then we will go to the cafeteria for lunch, and then the museum factory and the company." ”
The place to eat was a restaurant not far from the house where Qin Miao and the others lived, and it would only take about five minutes to walk over.
The restaurant looks normal on the outside, just a nicely renovated Italian restaurant.
But after walking in, I found that the interior of the restaurant has a strong racing element.
The walls are covered with murals of Ferrari racing cars, and even all the tables have a layer of Ferrari red and black trim on the edges.
The chair is also a bit like a racing car seat with full encirclement, but for the comfort of the ride, the middle of the chair is hollowed out.
At the same time, since it was already time to eat, there were still a lot of people eating in the restaurant, and Qin Miao saw a lot of staff wearing Ferrari red uniforms.
While eating, Qin Miao tried lasagna and ice cream.
How to say it, these two Italian specialties are very rich in taste and have a good taste, and on the whole, Qin Miao still likes them.
Of course, this can only be eaten as a meal replacement, if Qin Miao is allowed to eat this every day, he may go crazy.
So after eating, Qin Miao asked Lu Bos: "Lu Bos, is there a Chinese restaurant or anything like that around here?" ”
Lupos recalled slightly, and then said: "There seems to be a Chinese restaurant nearby, but I haven't been to eat it, why are you asking this?" ”
Qin Miao said a little embarrassed: "I'm not saying that Italian food is not delicious, but as a Chinese, if you don't have rice to eat, you will inevitably be a little unaccustomed to it......"
"Oh, you don't have to worry about that." Lupos said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this in the future, because from tomorrow when you officially join the company, your diet will be controlled and specially prepared." ”
Qin Miao: ......?
"What do you mean?" Qin Miao suddenly had a bad premonition.
The smile on Lupos's face was a little weird: "It means that from tomorrow's official entry, it is not up to you to decide what you want to eat." ”
For a moment, Qin Miao felt that even if she didn't eat Chinese food, it was okay to only eat the food that the locals loved......
After eating, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng entered the Ferrari museum under the leadership of Lu Bos.
Ferrari's headquarters is not very tall, almost all the buildings are two-storey, but the area is not small.
Lu Bos didn't look like a physical trainer at all along the way, but like a tour guide, with a look of pride on his face that couldn't be concealed, he introduced the history of Ferrari and the corporate culture of the factory facilities to Qin Miao.
After entering the museum, the first thing that attracted Qin Miao's attention was a row of more than a dozen Ferrari F1 cars, which filled the field of vision of visitors who entered the Ferrari Museum for the first time in a semicircular posture.
The visual impact of more than a dozen F1 cars appearing in a huge space as soon as you enter the museum is extremely strong.
Every F1 car has its name on the front, the name of the driver and the achievements of the car that season.
Qin Miao just looked at it one by one.
After walking through this area, what appeared in front of Qin Miao was a huge wall of honor, and behind the wall of honor were many famous classic sports cars of Ferrari.
The Wall of Honour is filled with trophies of different colours, large and small, all of which Ferrari has received.
At the bottom is a row of figures, most of them drivers, and a few of them humerus ministers who have made outstanding contributions to Ferrari.
At the same time, all sports cars will have a black sign in front of them, which will write the model number, the year of finalization, engine data, and an introduction in English and Italian.
One thing to say, this place is really a dream paradise for the average racer.
It is not only the classic Ferrari cars that attract them that are full of design aesthetics, but also the honor that fills the wall.
These are things that are extremely desirable for any motivated driver.
Before Ferrari joins the company, it is also a disguised incentive to take their new drivers or staff members to visit Ferrari's museums.
But to be honest, Qin Miao really didn't have much deep understanding.
Perhaps because of the different growth environments, Qin Miao didn't have much feeling about identifying with a company's culture.
Although Qin Miao likes Ferrari's cars and their design, he really can't identify with Ferrari like other Italians, or young people with children's dreams.
After walking around the museum, the only thing that touched Qin Miao was that the Ferrari's design was really awesome, no matter what time it was a supercar, it looked so domineering and full of racing aesthetics.
And Lu Bo, who had been introducing all this to Qin Miao and Qiu Meng, always had a hint of a smile on his face.
This may be the confidence he brings from the pride of being an Italian and at the same time a Ferrari worker.
It took the three of them nearly an hour to visit the museum, and after the tour, the three of them did not go directly to the factory.
Instead, he went to the rest room that Ferrari had prepared for employees for a while.
Ferrari's museums are open to everyone, even tourists, and naturally there is no break at noon.
But the factory is different, the factory staff has a time to go to and from work, although they often work overtime, but they generally work overtime at night, and the time for lunch and rest will still be given to the employees.
And the lounge is not boring, after all, it is a racing company, in addition to watching TV, drinking drinks, playing arcades, there are also racing simulators to play in the lounge.
After staying in the lounge until about two o'clock in the afternoon, after the last drink, the three of them got up together and prepared to walk towards the Ferrari factory.
The trio soon arrived in front of the Ferrari factory, a small but long building that could be seen at least thirty meters.
Looks aside, Ferrari's factories resemble the rectangular blue-roofed factories found in China's heavy industrial parks.
The first floor is just a plain glass curtain wall, but the interior has shutters to shade the sun, and on the far left of the second floor is a huge Ferrari logo, about two-thirds of the floor, and the second floor is also a combination of Ferrari's classic red and black and white lines.
There is one thing to say, it is worthy of sports car design, this factory building is full of beauty, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng thought it looked good at first sight when they saw this building.
However, just as the three of them were about to go in to visit, one of them patted Qin Miao's shoulder from behind him.
Qin Miao turned her head in confusion, and then froze in place.
And the person who patted Qin Miao on the shoulder was also a little surprised.
"It's really you......"
"Leclerc?"
The two of them were surprised almost at the same time.
At this time, Qin Miao was still wearing her own civilian clothes, and with the leadership of Lu Bobo, Qin Miao was not worried that she would not be able to enter any place in civilian clothes.
And looking at Qin Miao's dress, Leclerc felt that Qin Miao might have come to travel.
So he kindly admonished: "This is a Ferrari factory, tourists can't go there."
If you're traveling, I recommend visiting the Ferrari museums. ”
After Qin Miao was stunned to find out that the person who called him was Leclerc, she was even more surprised.
Why can a person like Leclerc remember himself who has only one side of the relationship?
But after hearing Leclerc's question, Qin Miao still subconsciously said: "I'm not here to travel, I'm here to work." ”
Leclerc's face was full of doubt.
Lu Bos stood up and explained: "Qin Miao is a youth driver we just signed. ”
Leclerc raised his eyebrows, and then a smile appeared on his face, and even dimples appeared on his handsome face: "Really?" Then I have the same vision as the person who signed Qin Miao, and I also think that Qin Miao is a very talented driver. ”
"Congratulations! I'm genuinely happy for you. ”
Even Leclerc deliberately leaned over to shake hands with Qin Miao and hugged him, looking at Qin Miao's eyes full of incredulity and surprise.
Facing Leclerc's praise, Qin Miao was a little embarrassed for a while.
In the face of other people's praise, Qin Miao smiled slightly and accepted it, but Leclerc is a real F1 driver, and his identity as an F1 driver alone is enough for Qin Miao to put away the arrogance in his heart, not to mention Leclerc's almost overflowing talent.
"I've won the prize, I may not be as good as you think." Qin Miao said slightly.
Although he knows that Chinese like to be modest, Leclerc usually has little contact and does not have a specific feeling.
Now that he has met Qin Miao, Leclerc finally knows why they are humble.
Leclerc knows that if you don't have the quality and talent, you can't get into the Ferrari academy at all.
Before signing a contract, each Academy driver is vetted and evaluated by the top management of Ferrari Academy.
After all, after signing you, Ferrari needs to invest resources to train you, and it is impossible to sign a straw bag.
Therefore, there is no one who can enter the Ferrari academy without a ...... Okay, Mick is an exception, but everyone else has more or less something on their hands except him.
But such a person has to be humble when facing a sentence that he is boasting about at best......
Now Leclerc clearly understands the kind of restraint in the bones of the people of this country.
Ay...... Wait a minute, it seems that Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao are compatriots, but when I get along with him every day, why don't you see him as humble as Qin Miao?
……
"And who are you now?" Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Leclerc asked Qin Miao.
Pointing to the entrance of the Ferrari factory, Qin Miao said, "Lu Bo is going to take me and Qiu Meng to visit the Ferrari factory." ”
"That's good, let's go in together, I still have work to do in the factory today."
Qin Miao really didn't expect that it was just the first day of employment, he actually met Leclerc again, the key is that Leclerc still remembers himself.
After the three of them entered the factory, Leclerc was directly separated from Qin Miao, he still had a German Grand Prix to run this week, and he had to fly to Germany in the afternoon, so there was not much time to waste, so he hurriedly went to work inside the factory.
The three of Qin Miao walked around the production lines of Ferrari's various supercars, as well as Ferrari's CNC parts machining center.
After that, I went to the F1 factory.
However, there are some places where Qin Miao and Qiu Meng can't go.
For reasons of confidentiality, the chassis, engines and aerodynamics departments are not allowed to be visited.
All Qin Miao can see is the F1 production workshop, such as the design department, which is completely forbidden to him now.
After Qin Miao came out after walking around, he didn't see Leclerc, but it didn't matter at this time.
Because Qin Miao's day's process has been completed today, she was running around in the morning, and she was taken around the Ferrari factory in the afternoon, and Qin Miao also felt a little tired.
Finally, they checked in front of Ferrari, and the three of them had dinner together, and today's day's itinerary was completed.
Delivering Qin Miao and Qiu Meng to their doorstep, Lu Bos handed a package to Qin Miao: "These are your daily necessities here, such as mobile phones, phone cards, meal cards, employee cards, and schedules."
Originally, there was only one copy, but considering that you have family members, I have prepared two copies for you for daily necessities such as mobile phones. ”
"Rest early today and keep your strength up." When Lu Bos said this, he also deliberately glanced at Qiu Meng, and the meaning in his words was already obvious: "I will come to pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and then the two of us will go together for a physical test, and remember not to eat in the morning." ”
Qin Miao was puzzled: "Do you still have to take a blood test?" ”
Lupos nodded: "The medical examination is a necessary process, and we don't want any problems with the health of the drivers who have spent all their resources to cultivate." ”
Qin Miao nodded clearly.
"Then I won't disturb your rest, see you tomorrow morning." Lu Bo saw that Qin Miao was clear and went straight to work.
Qin Miao also thanked the other party: "I'm bothering you today." ”
Lupos nodded, then turned away.
