"Brother Fei, what did CCTV reporters interview just now? How long will it take to broadcast it in China? Will we become celebrities in the future?"

After leaving the CCTV interview team, Ah Hu was still very excited. Because he came from a small mountain village, those who could play on TV in his mind were all big shots, and those who could play on CCTV were even more amazing.

Seeing Ah Hu's excited look, Zhang Yifei hugged his shoulder and planned to tease him.

"Do you want to be a celebrity on TV?"

Ah Hu didn't hear the teasing smell in Zhang Yifei's tone, but replied seriously: "Of course I want to, so that my parents can see me on TV."

Hearing Ah Hu's words, Zhang Yifei swallowed the joke that had already come to his mouth. Because he originally thought that Ah Hu just wanted to show off on TV, but he didn't expect that he wanted his parents to see it.

He knew that Ah Hu was from a small mountain village, and his parents were old farmers facing the loess and facing the sky. There were only a few channels for contacting external information, except for the radio, which was the black and white TV sent back by Ah Hu.

"Become the chief technician of the F1 team, so your parents can see you on TV."

“Isn’t that difficult?”

Ahu replied with a sad face. He didn't think so much, but he just felt that he was not speaking English well now, and it was too difficult to become the chief technician of F1.

"Then work hard."

Zhang Yifei patted his shoulder, then walked to Junko Takeda and the others.

"How is it going to Le Mans headquarters? What does the Toyota European Tournament Organization say?"

Faced with Zhang Yifei's inquiry, Junko Takeda shook her head and replied: "The Toyota Racing Division has issued a document, canceled the sponsorship of your Renault event, and decided to terminate the contract with you."

"What?"

Zhang Yifei was a little surprised. Although it had been expected before, Toyota must have had an accident, otherwise it would be impossible for the technical team to suddenly evacuate.

However, Zhang Yifei later analyzed from a logical point of view that Toyota's sudden "drawal" behavior can almost be said to be more harmful than beneficial under his current fame.

After all, event sponsorship is a contract signed, and Toyota does this as a breach of contract. Generally, such a world-class company does not need to do breach of contract for such a small matter.

"Did Toyota give a reason? Why did they do this? Even if it was because of Prost, at least before I officially announced the signing, it would not be considered a breach of contract with Toyota."

After thinking about it, Zhang Yifei said that the only motivation for Toyota to do this may be related to his signing of the Prost F1 team.

After all, I am considered a person from the Toyota youth training team in my name. Even if Toyota does not currently have a Formula Professional Team, doing so is a job-hopping change.

But this reason is very far-fetched. Toyota's current youth training team is to put it bluntly, the nature of the drivers' academy is to build a f1 team in the future to accumulate experience, and the drivers in it are destined to leave.

Otherwise, you don’t even have a formal professional team, will the drivers continue to train in the youth training base forever?

Toyota is also clear about this, so they did not formulate some high compensation clauses in the youth training driver contract. If the youth training driver wants to terminate the contract, they only need to compensate for a small amount of training costs, which is equivalent to paying the tuition fee themselves.

So Zhang Yifei had never taken this youth training driver contract seriously before, and in fact it was impossible to take it seriously. Even if he didn't enter the F1 team, Renault would have to enter the F3 and F3000 level race after finishing Formula Renault. At that time, it was impossible to rely on individual fighting alone, and he was destined to enter other teams.

However, even if Toyota sees itself being "popular" and is unwilling to let go, at least it should talk to itself. How could there be a slutty operation of simply removing the technical team without saying a word?

And if Zhang Yifei remembers correctly, before he ran the main race of Manicur Station, the Toyota technical team had already evacuated. At that time, no one knew the agreement between him and Prost.

Zhang Yifei doesn't believe that Prost, who has won the title of "Professor", would be a big mouth, and Toyota naturally cannot have the ability to predict the future. This logic makes sense.

So although Zhang Yifei had already expected this result in his heart, he had always been unable to understand the motivation for Toyota to do so.

"I said that it has nothing to do with Prost team. It is because Toyota has reached an acquisition agreement with Arrow team, so it has decided to cancel the current youth training driver program."

Toyota acquires Arrows?

This news surprised Zhang Yifei even more than Toyota's withdrawal, because it was a complete change in history.

Because in history, after participating in the 2001 season, Arrows missed the 2002 season due to financial conditions, and finally ended up in 2003 and declared bankruptcy.

Before, when Zhang Yifei was in Japan, he had heard rumors that Toyota Motors planned to acquire the Arrows. But at that time, Zhang Yifei had not experienced so many historical changes and felt that this was just because the Arrows team was acquired by a Japanese company, so there was such rumors.

In addition, the Toyota team did not officially participate in the competition in 2002. Now it is 1999. Three years later, it is completely inconsistent with the time.

As a result, I didn’t expect that history has changed more exaggeratedly than I thought. Is this because I came to this world that these butterfly reactions were caused?

"Even if Toyota acquires the Arrows team, there is no need to withdraw the technical team so anxiously, right?"

"The Toyota Racing Division did not say this, but according to my colleague in Tokyo, the sudden cancellation of sponsorship for your Renault event should be related to the original shareholders of the Arrows team, which is the condition he proposed."

"It has something to do with the shareholders of the Arrows. When did I know the shareholders of the Arrows?"

Zhang Yifei was a little amused. The reason for termination of the contract was a bit nonsense. Even at the Renault party, he had never considered how a fleet like Fei Arrow, which had bankrupt and wage arrears, could have something to do with their shareholders.

"Do you still remember Hank from Toyota Youth Training Center?"

Yamamoto Ukyo, who was standing beside him, said a name that Zhang Yifei was almost thrown away.

Hank Zhang Yifei was thinking in his memory, and he remembered something, that was, Hank, who seemed to be the son of a major shareholder of the Arrows Team.

At that time, Zhang Yifei despised Hank for this and had such a good foundation, but he ended up living in the Toyota youth training camp.

Now it seems that behind this incident, Hank is related to this.

"You mean, Hank, with the help of his father, put pressure on Toyota to cancel my sponsorship?"

"Well, Hank's father is the major shareholder of the Arrows, which basically determines whether Toyota's acquisition of Arrows is successful. If it can successfully acquire Arrows, then Toyota's entry into the F1 paddock will save at least two years of time, so..."

"So I was abandoned by Toyota."

Zhang Yifei helped Yukyo Yamamoto complete the entire body. His tone was very plain and there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Because for him now, he has already become hard, and it doesn't matter whether Toyota gives up or not.

"Smash! Toyota is too unkind. If you want to give up, say hello. This sudden withdrawal of the technical team almost affected Fei Ge's game."

After hearing this, Ah Hu immediately said dissatisfiedly, he was much more angry than Zhang Yifei.

"Forget it, Toyota is OK, it's easy to get along."

Zhang Yifei signaled, after all, Junko Takeda and Ukyo Yamamoto are both Toyota's people at present.

And then again, compared to Toyota's strategic policy of entering the F1 paddock, it is natural to give up his own small role.

People should still be grateful. Along the way, Toyota Motorsports can be regarded as "kind" as "kind". Zhang Yifei cannot do things like "successful" in the end, even if the other party ends up cheating.

At this time, Junko Takeda took out a document from her handbag and handed it to Zhang Yifei and said, "Yifeijun, this is the termination contract of Toyota Motor Corporation. There are no requirements for recovery, which is equivalent to the peaceful termination of the contract between the two parties."

The European Toyota Racing Organization must have known the agreement between itself and Prost at this time and will soon become the signing driver of Prost team.

This contract has not made any claim for compensation. It is considered to be a free training for Zhang Yifei. With the free sponsorship in the first half of the European Cup, it is also considered to be a breakup.

Since that's the case, it's easy to get apart. Zhang Yifei did not hesitate and took over the termination contract handed over by Junko Takeda and signed his own daimyo directly. From then on, he will have nothing to do with Toyota.

After handing the contract text to Junko Takeda, Zhang Yifei asked at this time: "What about you, how do you arrange it?"

"Go to Toyota Le Mans headquarters and wait for the next appointment."

When Takeda Junko said this, her tone was very heavy. Although she was a member of Zhang Yifei's team, she was also an employee of Toyota. Even if she wanted to stay in her heart, she knew that with Zhang Yifei's current abilities, she could not maintain the driver's team by relying on her own.

"Sister Junko, are you leaving?"

He Ziling, who had been standing next to her and listening silently, asked in a sad tone at this time.

Zhang Yifei's driver team is full of big men, only Junko Takeda and her are girls. In daily life, Junko Takeda takes care of He Ziling like a big sister, and there is already a deep sisterly friendship between the two.

"Um."

Junko Takeda nodded, her eyes were a little red, but this was the reality and she had no choice.

After hearing this, He Ziling opened her mouth to say something to keep, but she couldn't say it when she was at her mouth.

Because she is not qualified to say these words, no matter how reluctant she is in her heart, she is unable to change this situation.

On the other hand, Yamamoto Ukyo also took out a stack of information and handed it to Zhang Yifei: "Yifeijun, this is the information about the Silverstone track I collected. It's a bit messy and I haven't had time to sort it out. When you arrive in the UK next stop, you can take a closer look."

Yamamoto Ukyo's voice was also a little choked, and he didn't want to leave in his heart.

After taking over this heavy stack of information from Yamamoto Ukyo, if Zhang Yifei had not reached an agreement with Prost in the morning, he would have probably felt a sore nose at this moment.

"Thank you for your hard work. But what are you doing with Junko? Are you planning to say goodbye? I haven't said I want you to leave."
