216 Renault Development Drivers
This is what Zhang Yifei wanted to express. Isn’t the so-called joint accusation that relies on the bullying of himself as a Chinese novice?
As a result, the soft persimmon was not pinched, so today I felt wronged to act as the victim?
Zhang Yifei is no longer the new rookie who chose to tolerate him. He has enough confidence to challenge any opponent within the scope permitted by the rules.
Instead of being tolerant, it is better to be arrogant! It is useless to be vigilant and protect yourself. On the contrary, the more arrogant you are, you can attract more attention to your attention.
The absolute confidence that Zhang Yifei showed surprised the reporters on the scene. Is this really what an Asian driver should look like?
The Asian drivers in my impression, even Asians in a broad sense, are not all afraid of being mean, or even timid, so how can they be so arrogant?
Zhang Yifei's remarks and performances completely broke the inherent impression of many reporters present.
Kubica clenched her fists at this time and looked at Zhang Yifei with red eyes because of anger. You should know that in this Renault 2000 European Cup, Kubica is one of the youngest contestants, only 15 years old this year.
At such a young age, he participated in the most prestigious Elementary Formula in Europe and became an official test driver. He should have been considered the pride of heaven.
But now, he was called a coward by Zhang Yifei in front of so many people!
This made Kubica completely unacceptable. He could even imagine that others would use this matter to laugh at him in the future.
So at this time, Kubica did not follow the instructions of the Renault staff and left the other side, but rushed towards Zhang Yifei directly. Since he couldn't tell the story of this Chinese boy, he would use his fists to exhale this anger.
Seeing Kubika rushing towards him, Zhang Yifei, who wanted to fight, was going to give Renault a face and simply stopped.
Teenagers are in their own physical development period, and there may be a big gap between 17 and 15 years old. Moreover, Zhang Yifei is not bad at height or weight. Kubika is more than half a head taller, and his muscles are completely different.
This kid dares to fist with him, so let him understand why the flowers are so red!
For some reason, Zhang Yifei now feels that he has been slandering too much, so he might as well fight it. At least both sides feel good.
However, it was not easy for Kubika to rush over, with five or six Renault management teams separated in the middle. Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped. Then the security personnel on the scene drove Kubika away from the scene.
Facing the media’s excessive remarks, it is already the bottom line of Renault’s management. If there is a fight at the press conference, where will the face of such a large company be put?
When Kubika left, Zhang Yifei would naturally not pursue the trouble. He walked back to the backstage lounge like a person who was fine.
Small characters also have the benefits of small characters. For example, how to deal with such scenes is completely out of Zhang Yifei's consideration. Another thing is that Zhang Yifei is still a minor now, and the impulsive behavior of young people in this world is always easier to understand.
When Cosell saw Zhang Yifei coming in, he had a smile on his face. He actually saw everything at the press conference just now.
"Boy, you have good courage. You dare to make trouble at Renault's press conference. Are you afraid of being banned by Renault?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yifei was not nervous or afraid. Instead, he found a comfortable position and leaned against the sofa.
"First of all, this is not my fault, I'm just fighting back normally."
"Also, this matter has nothing to do with the Renault event. Since it has not violated the rules of the event, they have no reason to ban the competition. And so many reporters are on the scene today, I believe Renault will not do such stupid things as wearing small shoes for me."
Zhang Yifei likes to be simple and rough, but it does not mean that he is a reckless man. He has already considered the consequences clearly. This matter is small or big.
It is generally very formal and different from domestic media conferences. There are often troubles at European media conferences, and reporters' questions are also quite sharp.
So Renault has no need to cause any trouble for himself because of this little thing.
After all, hundreds of reporters witnessed the scene. The Renault Formula is now booming, and the ban on the game without illegal rules is simply a self-deprecating reputation.
Just after Zhang Yifei finished saying this, a Renault staff member walked into the lounge and said to him: "Mr. Zhang Yifei, President Carlos Ghosn, I want to invite you to come and talk."
Suddenly hearing this "invitation", Zhang Yifei was stunned, and his heart was a big fuss!
No, just this little thing is worth asking the Vice President of Renault to take action personally? You must know that this is the most core management of Renault Group. It is difficult to meet each other every time, so he took the initiative to talk to himself?
At this time, Zhang Yifei looked at Kossel, wanting to find an answer from him. After all, the old Germans have seen the world, at least they have experience than themselves.
Unexpectedly, the old German man spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not familiar with Ghosn, so it's useless to see if I look."
Damn, you are cruel!
Zhang Yifei despised Cosell in his heart, then stood up and walked out with Renault staff. Ghosn was at the level of vice president of Renault Group, so he shouldn't be able to do anything to his little role, right?
With full of doubts, Zhang Yifei came to the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel. Renault staff opened the door and made a gesture of inviting him, and turned around and left.
Zhang Yifei walked into the room. Compared to his own lounge, the presidential suite was much more luxurious.
Ghosn was sitting in front of the big office desk, holding a cigar in his hand. When he saw Zhang Yifei coming in, he nodded at him and said, "Sit down."
Although Zhang Yifei was a little nervous, he had to be a good person, but he would not lose in the formation! So he was not polite, and sat directly opposite Ghosn, looking at the other party with fearless eyes.
Looking at the look of Zhang Yifei looking at him, Ghosn was a little surprised. It would be fine if this little guy was not afraid, but he had no fear or dodge at all. It was too surprising. At the same time, Ghosn's evaluation of Zhang Yifei in his heart increased a lot.
"Do you know what I meant to come?"
"Is it because of the press conference just now?"
The only thing I have never known and Ghosn is the only thing I did at the press conference just now.
"Little guy, do you know that this press conference is to promote the Formula Renault series and announce the acquisition of Benetton. As a result, you almost messed up some of your childish actions and remarks."
"I don't think I've messed up the press conference, I just said what should be answered."
"Oh, then do you think you did nothing wrong?"
"certainly."
Zhang Yifei did not give in at all. It was related to his honor and dignity. If he asked him to respond again, Zhang Yifei would still say so.
Faced with such an answer, Ghosn's eyes became sharper and he stared at Zhang Yifei.
After all, he is also the vice president of Renault Group. In fact, he has an aura that can become a superior person. He is putting pressure on Zhang Yifei.
But unfortunately, Zhang Yifei is not a young boy and knows more about interests. He still firmly looked at Ghosn.
Silence, if the air is frozen, it lasts for about ten seconds. Ghosn withdrew his sharp gaze and said in an admiring tone: "It's true that it's very firm, no wonder he refuses Suzuki's help."
Now it was Zhang Yifei's turn to be surprised. When he was in Tokyo, Japan, Suzuki Rio said that he would take care of himself because of Xie Tiancheng. If you have any needs in the equation or even recommend a team, you can find him.
At that time, Zhang Yifei didn't think about "going to the back door" and didn't want to refuse Suzuki Rio because he owed favors. Unexpectedly, Ghosn would actually know, this was incredible, how could he know this?
"Is it a surprise? Suzuki Rio is my chief test driver. When he was testing GTR at Sendai Racing Stadium, he talked to me about you, and his apprentice Xie Tiancheng has been praising you for your driving skills."
Isn’t Suzuki Rio Nissan’s chief test driver? How did he become a Renault subsidiary?
Zhang Yifei was a little confused, but at this moment, he suddenly remembered that Renault and Nissan were just an alliance company?
Historically, it was in 1999 that Renault acquired Nissan and sent people to move into Nissan's management, among which Ghosn became Nissan's new eO.
Everything makes sense now. He must have watched the test drive of the new generation of GTR on the spot, so he had contact with Suzuki Rio.
But it must be because of Xie Tiancheng that Ghosn can know that he is definitely because of Xie Tiancheng. I really didn’t expect that Xie Tiancheng is still seizing every opportunity to help him, which made Zhang Yifei very moved.
So now that Ghosn talks to himself about these things, he can basically be sure that it has nothing to do with the press conference. He must have something else to say.
So Zhang Yifei asked directly: "President Ghosn, just say whatever you have."
"Young people are just anxious."
Ghoen smiled and continued, "I watched the video of your two-stop race. It was not what Kubica said about malicious overtaking, but rather the lead by strength."
"But what surprised me even more was that your talent in motorsports has not been a year since you contact Formula to becoming the champion of Renault's European Cup. It is no exaggeration to say that I have never seen this speed of progress, and it is even stronger than Kimi last year."
"Today you also see that Renault acquired the Benetton team and plans to return to the F1 paddock. But this is just the beginning. We plan to set up a racing academy and build a complete driver's echelon."
