All-round Athlete

Chapter 612

In the garage, Zhang Guan was discussing the tuning of the car with the maintenance engineer.

Ross Brown stood aside silently, with a look of surprise on his face.

Because the car knowledge shown by Zhang Guan is no less than that of an experienced racing driver.

Don’t think that it’s enough for a racer to know how to drive. In a Formula One race, a racer’s knowledge is equivalent to that of a racing engineer. Their understanding of racing is even higher than that of ordinary racing engineers. Sometimes drivers Also involved in the design of the car. Just like Schumacher, his racing knowledge must surpass that of many professional university professors, otherwise he would not be able to serve as Ferrari's technical consultant.

Drivers must understand racing knowledge before they can discuss with engineers and tune their racing cars to make them more familiar. This is not only about written knowledge, but more about the valuable experience accumulated by racers in the race.

But today, Zhang Guan, a rookie in racing, was talking about "valuable experience" there, but a bunch of automotive engineers nodded frequently at what he said, and many of them showed expressions of sudden realization from time to time.

This scene made Ross Brown feel extremely strange. Can you be a teacher for an engineer as a rookie? So he silently appeared on the sidelines, and began to listen carefully to what they were saying, but gradually, he changed from a listener to a participant, and finally he and Zhang Guan, who directed the engineers to work .

I saw Ross Brown wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said: "Zhang, you brought me back to my youth. It's like ten years ago, when I was in Ferrari, I was standing next to Schumacher, and we Like just now, I was discussing the new car. In that era, although we did not win five consecutive championships, we enjoyed the passion of struggle! Just now I even had an illusion that I was standing next to Schumacher!"

"Schumacher's experience book, isn't it Schumacher!" Zhang Guan thought to himself, he was worried that Ross Brown would be suspicious and clung to this question, so he immediately changed the topic, pointed to the cockpit, and continued: " Can this cockpit be bigger?"

"It's a big deal. If it is bigger, it will affect the aerodynamic package." Brown continued: "But I think this space should be ok. Among the active drivers, there are several over 180 centimeters. BMW Sauber's Kuby Card is 185 centimeters tall. I remember that we had a driver in the UK before who was over 190 centimeters tall, about the same as you."

"Okay then!" Zhang Guan jumped into the car while talking, and continued: "It seems that this is forcing me to drive faster and leave this small space earlier!"

...

The sports department of an online media.

The editor-in-chief pointed to a manuscript and said, "Move this to the headline. The Rockets defeated the Spurs 87-85. Yao had 13 points and 8 rebounds, and Ci Shiping had 24 points..."

"Editor-in-chief! Big news!" A editor hurried in, holding a photo that had just been printed in color in his hand. He came to the editor-in-chief's desk, handed the photo to the editor-in-chief, and said at the same time: "Editor-in-chief, look quickly, big news!"

"What's this?" The editor-in-chief looked at something similar to a graduation certificate in the photo, and the dense English letters on it made him feel a little dazed. It's not that he can't understand English, but that the photo is too small and the resolution is a bit low. At first glance, it's impossible to see what's written on it.

"Editor-in-chief, this is a super driver's license! A super driver's license for Formula One!" the editor said.

"Oh?" The editor-in-chief didn't give too strong a reaction.

"Editor-in-Chief, take a closer look at this name!" The editor pointed to a place in the photo and said.

The editor-in-chief lowered his head, carefully identified it, and then asked softly, "Zhang Guan?"

The editor nodded seriously, while the editor-in-chief widened his eyes to confirm again, and then his voice became like a rooster crowing: "Is that Zhang Guan?"

The editor still nodded, but his expression became more serious.

"Where did you get this thing? Is it credible? It's not from PS?" The editor-in-chief asked several questions in succession.

"Absolutely believable! Zhang Guan's manager group has Hong Zinan who is in charge of the media. Isn't she my senior sister in Communication University! Of course, she is seven or eight years older than me...but she sent me this photo The news sent by Zhang Guan's own management team is absolutely unmistakable!"

The editor-in-chief let out a long breath: "My dear! Zhang Guan really got his driver's license in Formula 1! When they announced the list of drivers on their website a few days ago, even I thought it was an own goal! This is Hurry up, big news, go and write me a manuscript, this one will be on the headlines!"

...

A few days ago, when the China Power Team was established, it was said at the press conference that there would be Chinese drivers entering the Formula One race. The Chinese driver is Zhang Guan!

The F1 super driver's license was put on the Internet by the media, and it immediately became the headlines of all the media, and the champion team also confirmed that Zhang Guan will be the driver of the Chinese power to compete in the upcoming Formula One race.

The first team from China, the first driver from China, this is a new page for the entire Formula One, and behind this, there are also huge economic benefits.

One after another domestic manufacturers called, hoping to sponsor China Power Racing Team. For these manufacturers, what they valued might not be the international market behind Formula One, but the publicity effect brought by Zhang Guan, because all the Everyone knows that wherever Zhang Guan is, there will be media attention. Not to mention racing cars, even Zhang Guan kicking the shuttlecock and skipping rope can attract a large number of sponsors.

...

Looking at the sponsor price list sent by Zhuge Wenbo, Zhang Guan frowned.

"It's low, these prices are really low!" Zhang Guan said into the phone receiver.

On the other side of the phone, Zhuge Wenbo looked a little surprised. He said, "What? Are you not satisfied with the price? But I think these prices are already very good, and the highest one is already close to the body sponsorship of the McLaren team."

Zhang Guan thought for a while, and said, "We can lower the price for them, but we must agree on the championship bonus, and there must be both the champion of each event and the championship."

"En?" Zhuge was slightly stunned, and then said: "That's right, how could I forget about your $500 million bet! You are aiming to win the championship this season. Well, I understand what to do gone."

In the sport of racing, championship bonuses or point bonuses are very common, and even often appear in contracts. The team has promises to the drivers, the team owner also has promises to the team, and the sponsors also have promises to the team. How much is the champion, how much is the runner-up, how much is the third runner-up, how much is a point, even how much is paid for finishing the race, etc., are all clearly marked.

However, one thing is the same as all other sports, that is, winning the championship is more valuable!

At present, the price Zhang Guan has received can be regarded as relatively reasonable, but if it is based on the price quoted by a champion driver and a champion team, it is a bit low, so Zhang Guan proposed that the sponsorship fee can be reduced, but the championship bonus must be added This one, in this way, as long as Zhang Guan wins the championship, he will get higher income instead.

"F1 is burning money!" Zhang Guan hung up the phone and heaved a long sigh. In just a few days, he has already spent 60 million yuan, and he will have to invest more in the future.

"I have to get a little more from the sponsor! Otherwise, I won't be able to take it anymore." Zhang Guan thought silently
