153: New Vehicle
Then everyone exchanged phone numbers with Qin Miao, of course, all of them were work phones.
Now Qin Miao is also a person who needs two phone calls to conveniently handle his daily affairs, and he is a little proud when he thinks about it.
And after Qin Miao and Mei Ben's staff finished exchanging phone calls, Qiu Meng also came over with a small cart, and the time was just right.
Qin Miao took the opportunity to introduce his girlfriend to his colleagues in the team.
For people who are more outstanding, as long as there is no hatred, most people will still have a certain good impression after seeing it.
This was followed by the distribution of small gifts.
Because there are too many things, Qiu Meng herself doesn't know what exactly is in the box, so colleagues take gifts similar to opening blind boxes, what you get is what, of course, if the gift you get is not suitable, you can still exchange it with your colleagues.
After this wave of gifts was delivered, the attitude of everyone in the team towards Qin Miao was naturally a lot closer.
After all, no one will refuse a colleague who doesn't seem to have much of a show, and the key is that this colleague has prepared a gift for you on the first day of work.
After meeting, we didn't go to a dinner or anything together, Meiben's corporate culture is very relaxed, the boss will not take the lead in occupying the daily rest time of employees, and everything about eating and having a dinner is voluntary.
If Qin Miao really wanted to invite his colleagues to dinner, he had to invite them one by one, and if the other party agreed, he would go to eat together, and no one would say anything if he didn't agree.
And after meeting Qin Miao, the staff were also busy with their own affairs, and the old man also said hello to Toto Qin Miao and left with his physical trainer Angela.
The main purpose of his coming to the factory today is just to see Qin Miao's future teammates, and after the purpose is achieved, the old man will naturally leave, he is different from Qin Miao, he has a lot of endorsements on his body, and he is still very busy during this time.
After the old man and Angela got out of the main entrance of the Mercedes team, they walked to a Maybach parked on the side of the road.
Although the old man has a Pagani Wind Son and a Mercedes-AMG ONE specially customized for him, these two cars are okay off the track, but they are really not suitable for daily commuting.
If you really want to be comfortable, you have to be these business cars and high-end cars.
The two entered the car one after the other.
After fastening his seatbelt, Hamilton suddenly asked:
"Angela, what do you think of Qin Miao?"
Angela slightly recalled the Qin Miao she had seen in Meiben's factory today, as well as his behavior and expression:
"I don't think he's likely to be your fan, he should have been playing on the scene just now, but I don't think it's difficult to get along with him, and he shouldn't be as arrogant as rumored in the paddock."
Hamilton said:
"I don't feel very good about him, I can't see through him a little bit......"
Angela was surprised:
"Why do you think that?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because of preconceived ideas......"
Hamilton didn't go on to discuss this issue in depth:
"Forget it, since the team has been decided, I, the driver, shouldn't express more opinions, just look at how this young man performs on the field next season......"
β¦β¦
After the old man and the others left, Toto was also busy, but Susan from the marketing department stopped Qin Miao.
"Qin, please wait a moment."
Qin Miao, who was about to leave, naturally stopped, turned his head to look at the director of the marketing department and asked curiously:
"What's the matter?"
The other party smiled mysteriously and said:
"A small campaign requires you to get involved and takes up about an hour of your time."
Anyway, it's early now, and Qin Miao's contract only reduces Qin Miao's media activities, not completely cancels Qin Miao's media activities, so it makes sense that Qin Miao needs to cooperate with the marketing department.
So Qin Miao nodded and agreed to the other party's request without much thought.
The three of them then came to an open field on the side of the Meiben factory.
At this time, many staff members in Mercedes uniforms in this area are busy around a black AMG GT.
Susan smiled and introduced:
"AMG GT Night Edition 2021 Dark Night Special Edition, this is the last two-door sports car of this model, it has not yet been released on the market, and it just so happens that you are here, so I want you to come over and help shoot the promotional video of this car."
Qin Miao nodded suddenly, and then started his work with three points of apprehension, four points of curiosity, and three points of death.
However, this process was not complicated, Qin Miao was simply put on makeup, and Qin Miao was asked to put on a new set of racing suits, and began to shoot a promotional video under the guidance of the staff.
Because he knew that this was filming a promotional video for this car, Qin Miao didn't pay much attention to the camera lenses that were revolving around him.
In this way, I turned around next to the car for seven or eight times, did more than 20 different sets of actions under the guidance, made up makeup, and went up and down the car more than ten times, and the staff in charge of on-site dispatch signaled that the promotional film was generally filmed, only the last shot was missing.
Qin Miao didn't have any complaints, after all, after agreeing to Toto, Qin Miao knew that her future work and life would definitely not only be driving, but also need to be exposed to the spotlight for a long time.
Qin Miao was mentally prepared for this.
The last shot is that Qin Miao needs to stand in front of this AMG GT, holding her chest with both hands, or a thumbs up, or something else, in short, she needs to make an action as the end of the video.
After Qin Miao thought about it, he leaned on the door of the car very relaxedly, and then Erlang's legs were crossed, his hands were hugged to his chest, and his face was full of casualness.
"Good! This posture is good, and the mood is maintained~"
The on-site director's eyes lit up, and then he was ready to start recording.
And at this time, there were suddenly two "pops" sounds.
If it was in the United States, when he suddenly heard this kind of sound, he might think that there would be a local shootout, but Qin Miao, who grew up in China since he was a child, subconsciously thought that someone was setting off artillery.
Until he noticed that there were ribbons floating down in the sky.
At this time, there were Mei Ben's staff on the left and right of him holding the buckets of streamers that had been used, and the colorful sequins fluttering in the sky at this time and the two sounds just now were obviously coming from these two things.
And until this time, Qin Miao was also confused.
"What's wrong?"
And Susan appeared at the right time at this time, holding an extremely exquisite-looking box with silver AMG fonts in her hand, and handed the box to Qin Miao.
It was only at this time that Qin Miao realized what was about to happen.
In the midst of everyone's uproar, Qin Miao took the box, and then opened the box.
Inside the box lay two car keys.
Qin Miao raised her head and looked at Susan with some confusion:
"What is this?"
Susan pointed to the all-black AMG GT and said:
"Toto will send your car, we have already prepared the formalities and whatever, we just need you to sign it when the time comes."
Qin Miao is accustomed to the operation of these team bosses sending trolleys to him at every turn, but if you send the car, you will send the car, what are you doing for me to work blindly for half a day?
As if guessing what Qin Miao wanted to say, Susan explained:
"Although this is a small surprise for you, these video footage just shot for you will indeed be used as a promotion for this car."
"In addition to that, we did a little documentary."
As she spoke, Susan gestured to a Meiben staff member who had been holding a hand-held camera.
Qin Miao had noticed him for a long time, after all, the team that shot the promotional video used a large camera, and he used a handheld camera alone.
At first, Qin Miao thought that he was also a member of the film crew, but now that he thinks about it, this guy's behavior is indeed something wrong.
"What kind of documentary?"
Susan explains:
"It's a small documentary that I prepared a gift for you without telling you, and then recorded you from being cheated to cooperating with work, and finally to receiving this gift when you were surprised, the audience likes this form of video very much, so this kind of video often has a high click rate, which has a very positive effect on the image promotion of the team and the driver, and of course, it also has a positive effect on the promotion of the model."
Qin Miao nodded after hearing this, should she be worthy of being the director of the propaganda department, when she said this, Qin Miao herself wanted to watch this documentary.
"Can you show me first?"
"Of course, it's just that the video needs to be edited, and after we make the video, we will send you a copy as soon as possible, and you can also send the video to your personal account at that time.
But I think it's not about watching the video, it's about taking your girlfriend to experience your new car. β
Qin Miao is also as good as a stream.
drove the car and took his daughter-in-law out for a walk.
How to say it, Qin Miao drove this car in the last race before, and at that time, he was completely driving this car as a racing car, and Qin Miao didn't have time to feel the road feedback that this car brought to him.
But now after driving this car on the street, Qin Miao feels that this is still a car designed for the track, and there is no problem driving on the road surface in a relatively smooth pavement, but once there is a bump on the road, Qin Miao can feel it very clearly.
To put it mildly, the road feedback of this car is clear and keen, and the unpleasant point is that the suspension is too hard.
However, Qin Miao usually doesn't drive this car to and from work, and after getting his hands on it, he should cover this car with a coat and put it downstairs to eat ashes.
But after all, this is a sports car of more than 1 million, even if Qin Miao is reluctant, he will not put it in an open-air environment, and he should build a simple parking garage to put this car away.
But that's for later......
Rather than driving, Qin Miao still prefers to ride a scooter to work at the Meiben factory.
Of course, if it rained when Qin Miao went to work, it would be a different matter.
After trying the test drive, returning to the factory, and sincerely thanking the others, all Qin Miao's work in Meiben today came to an end.
Fold up his two scooters and put them in the trunk of his new car, and Qin Miao drove home.
Of course, after returning home, Qin Miao didn't forget to take his friend downstairs and show off his new car in front of him.
After all, wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, if there are good things that do not pretend to be forced in front of their friends, then the fun of getting good things will be sharply reduced by more than half.
Qiu Meng just smiled and shook his head as he watched his man move like a child, and went upstairs by himself.
After receiving the call, Zhou Guanyu reluctantly went downstairs, and when he came, he saw an AMG GT parked at the door that had not yet turned off.
In fact, Qin Miao's car is very different from the ordinary AMG GT, the only difference is that there is no electric lifting rear wing, but a fixed rear wing, and most of the exterior parts that can be seen on the body have become black.
Even the brake calipers, which were originally silver as standard, have been replaced with black.
Zhou Guanyu himself is not the owner who lacks the money for a car, but Qin Miao's car was sent by Mei Ben, and the meaning of this representation is different.
Therefore, Qin Miao's pretending to be forced in front of Zhou Guanyu was very successful.
Of course, pretending to be forced also comes at a price.
Zhou Guanyu directly snatched Qin Miao's key and sat in the main driver.
After Qin Miao got his hands on it, he didn't hesitate to slam the accelerator, and the car started to drive violently directly after Zhou Guanyu got it, and he didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all.
β¦β¦
Soon after Qin Miao went back, reports gradually began to appear in the paddock about Qin Miao officially signing a contract with Mei Ben, and as time went by, there were more and more reports in this regard.
It provides some rare entertainment and topics for F1 fans who have not watched the race, and injects some different vitality into this boring winter break.
At the same time, more topics have also been derived from the topic of Qin Miao joining Meiben.
For example, where should Bottas go from here?
Is Qin Miao's joining a choice made by Meiben to further expand its influence in the Chinese market?
Did Mercedes start to have an internal political struggle like a Ferrari, and Qin Miao's addition was the product of the compromise after the political struggle?
Did Bottas have a disagreement with Toto, or is there something unknown going on inside Mercedes, which is what led Toto to replace Portas?
In short, all kinds of conspiracy theories have popped up during this time, and messy rumors are flying all over the sky.
At this time, only the news that Meben did not make any mistakes in Bottas, and with one year left on his contract, it is more interesting to give Bottas a result.
There's no way to avoid a lot of discussion.
So much so that Mick Schumacher, Yuki Tsunoda, and Nikita Mazeping, three rookie riders, also joined the paddock with Qin Miao, and even Alonso's return did not make much waves during this time.
On the one hand, these people were hung by Qin Miao throughout the whole process in F2, and they couldn't raise their heads at all under Qin Miao's suppression, and the attention they received naturally couldn't be compared with Qin Miao, the F2 champion, and on the other hand, the normal personnel turnover of other teams was not as good as the shock of pulling down a driver who was a fighting year.
Of course, no matter how happy the public opinion in the paddock is abroad, it can't affect the domestic fans to celebrate three small beers a day.
[In 2020, I can't stay for a day, and I'm going to die if the competition doesn't start in 21 years!] γ
[I couldn't see Qin Miao's performance in Meiben, I felt uncomfortable, and I felt that there were ants crawling on my body. γ
γFIAοΌ I suggest that the 21-year-old tournament be held today, and I advise you not to be ignorant]
[I want to watch the game! I want to watch the game! γ
[Meiben's ten-year-old fans are here! ] (End of chapter)
