293 Dad, I'm back.
The next morning, Zhang Yifei, Ahu and Chen Zhi passed the test and returned to Guangshen, and arrived at the door of the car repair shop.
Zhang Yifei from afar saw the old man lying in the engine compartment of an Audi 100, replacing the parts inside.
There was someone next to him who was helping with him, but he was not Feng Linmu, but a young man.
The three of them approached step by step, and zhangzhiguo did not notice that there were more people behind him. His attention was all in the engine compartment.
"Anzai, wrench No. 6."
zhangzhiguo said something, then stretched out his left hand to prepare to pick up the wrench.
However, his hand was hung in the air for a few seconds, and no one put the wrench in his hand, which made him feel a little puzzled, so he urged: "An Zai, focus on it, wrench No. 6."
The young man named An Zai was not paying attention to zhangzhiguo's words. He was looking at Zhang Yifei and a few more with surprise and curiosity, not knowing what the young man who suddenly appeared was going to do.
"Anzai?"
There was no response for two consecutive times, so he asked zhangzhiguo to stretch his head out of the engine compartment. Just as he was about to ask An Zai what was going on, he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.
"dad."
This voice made zhangzhiguo stand there, wondering if he had heard it wrong. Because Zhang Yifei had not called him to inform him that he was coming back, he had never expected that his son, who was racing in Europe, would suddenly come back at this time.
And this time, I changed my name to call myself dad.
With this surprise and surprise, he turned around. When he watched Zhang Yifei standing in front of him, his body trembled slightly due to excitement.
Zhang Yifei in front of him was different from when he left home before. He grew taller, became darker and thinner. Without the appearance of a child before, he was more like an adult standing in front of him.
"Yifei, are you back?"
zhangzhiguo still felt a little unbelievable at this time, and asked subconsciously.
"Yeah, I'm back."
"Good boy, I won't tell me when I come back!"
zhangzhiguo took a step forward, hugged Zhang Yifei, and used a lot of strength to his arm.
Maybe since Zhang Yifei has memories, he and zhangzhiguo have never hugged him, which may be the first time in nearly ten years.
"This time I came back in a hurry, so I didn't have time to notify me."
Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, but in fact he just wanted to give zhangzhiguo a surprise.
At this time, Ah Hu and Chen Zhi also leaned over and shouted to Zhangzhiguo, "Uncle Zhang," they both taught them step by step. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are masters, so they were also very excited to see him.
"You two kids are now promising. They can work on Formula racing, and they do a good job!"
zhangzhiguo also patted Ah Hu and Chen Zhi’s arms, his tone was full of pride. Perhaps his two apprentices will also create a Chinese technician and enter the history of the F1 maintenance team!
"That's all taught by Uncle Zhang. I learned all my skills from you."
Ah Hu usually looks like a simple-minded reckless man, but at this time he learned to flatter.
Seeing that they were "commercial bragging", Zhang Yifei quickly interrupted and said, "Okay, don't stand on the side of the road and praise each other. Ah Hu, Brother Zhi, you two should hurry up and go home."
"What do you mean, are you going back now?"
Hearing Zhang Yifei's words, zhangzhiguo looked surprised. He also planned to gather with several juniors, or even have a drink. As a result, they were planning to leave before they sat down?
"Well, Uncle Zhang, we have a tight time this time, so we can only take this opportunity to go home and visit."
Chen Zhi explained the reason. This time, Zhang Yifei returned to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, not to come back for fun and rest, but to sign a formal driver endorsement event with Huaxia Petrochemical.
Once the signing and publicity work is completed here, Zhang Yifei will immediately return to Hong Kong Island to prepare for the O Island F3 event.
As Kossel said, Zhang Yifei's F1 super driver's license is almost certain to be "bottled" by Fia. He must get better results in order to minimize the difficulty of the special approval.
Moreover, the terrain of the Odori Island East Ocean Track is too complicated, and this is also Zhang Yifei's first time to come into contact with the F3 event, so he must set aside time to prepare.
If you get a countdown, it will not only not help you get a super driver's license, but will have side effects. In this way, Fia will have sufficient reasons to say that she is not strong enough and refuse to approve a super driver's license.
Based on this premise, and less than half a month after the start of the Aodao F3, Zhang Yifei only had two days and one night for himself to stay in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Of course, Ahu and the others are the same. They must seize this short time and go home to visit. After all, I don’t know what time it is when I come back next time.
"Okay, you guys go back first. Remember to talk to your home about repairing Formula Racing so that they can be happy."
zhangzhiguo Under such tight time, these two kids came to visit him, and they were already very interested. Especially Ah Hu, his family is still in the rural area of northern Guangdong, and it takes nearly one day to go back and forth, so he probably can only go home to meet him.
After Ah Hu and the others left, Zhang Yifei carried his luggage and went to the room upstairs with zhangzhiguo.
After half a year, Zhang Yifei felt extremely moved in his heart.
"Yifei, what are the serious things you are back this time? Are you in trouble in racing?"
"What trouble can I have in racing? This time I came back mainly to sign a driver spokesperson contract with Huaxia Petrochemical. Because the international track in Donghai has started construction, Huaxia Petrochemical will become the sponsor of the F1 China Grand Prix. Maybe in two years, old man, you can watch my racing in person."
Listening to the terms Huaxia Petrochemical, driver spokesperson, and China Grand Prix, zhangzhiguo felt strange and proud.
Once upon a time, when I was running a rally with Lao Lu, I couldn't imagine that there would be an F1 driver in China in a short period of time.
Unexpectedly, in just a few years, his son became an F1 driver, creating history in the Chinese racing industry and turning that extremely distant dream into reality.
"When will the people from Huaxia Petrochemical come?"
"When I arrived in Hong Kong, I contacted them once, and it should be about to go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen."
After saying this, Zhang Yifei remembered something, took out a Renault sub-station championship trophy from his luggage and handed it to zhangzhiguo.
"What's this?"
Compared to Lu Ningping, who also coaches karts, zhangzhiguo has almost no understanding of the awards of Formulas. More importantly, he cannot understand English, so he does not know that it is a trophy when facing this crystal Renault "car logo".
"The sub-station champion trophy of Renault's equation."
"I won three European Cups in total, so I won three sub-station championship trophys. I gave Uncle Lu one in Hong Kong Island, and I will give you this trophy, and I will keep one left for myself."
Just like a famous lyrics: half of the military merits and half of yours.
In Zhang Yifei's view, these three Renault trophys also have a share of the old man and Uncle Lu. If they were not supported by them, Zhang Yifei might still be running underground racing in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
He gave two of them to the old man and Uncle Lu respectively to express his inner gratitude.
"Okay, then I'll keep it. With this trophy, it will be more convenient for me to tell others about your kid's achievements in the future!"
"I guess I don't need to say anything in the future, all of China will know my achievements."
Zhang Yifei followed the old man's words and said without any modesty.
"Boy, I started to be proud before I could finish the results in F1."
"This is called confidence!"
...
At noon, Zhang Yifei received a call from Huaxia Petrochemical Group. The planning department team from Yanjing headquarters had already arrived in Guangzhou and Shenzhen and asked Zhang Yifei to meet at Huaxia Petrochemical Building in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
As one of China's super companies, almost every city of Huaxia Petrochemical has its own independent office building. So Zhang Yifei easily found Huaxia Petrochemical Building and met the members of the planning department.
The team members who signed with Zhang Yifei this time all came from the Yanjing headquarters and were led by the general manager of the planning department.
From this staffing specification, we can feel that Huaxia Petrochemical attaches great importance to the signing of the driver spokesperson this time.
Similarly, Zhang Yifei was also very satisfied with the signing team with the headquarters. What he was most worried about before was the efficiency of state-owned enterprises. If he stumbled on various types of approval, Zhang Yifei would really have no time to delay with them.
But now it’s different. The signing team is very fast. Everything in the contract has been printed early. You just need to sign a letter by yourself.
Of course, the reason why it is so efficient is also related to the fact that Zhang Yifei had reached an oral agreement before. Otherwise, some would have been discussed in terms of the contract details, terms and endorsement fees, etc.
The contract content is mainly divided into two parts: sponsorship and endorsement.
Sponsorship is simple to understand. In the future, Zhang Yifei's racing suit will have an additional "billboard" with a length of 8 cm and a width of 4 cm, which will appear in front of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world as the F1 event unfolds.
The endorsement is almost like the "image ambassador", which uses Zhang Yifei's fame to attract more people to pay attention to the future Chinese Grand Prix.
In addition, Zhang Yifei will attend a press conference held by Huaxia Petrochemical. At this press conference, Huaxia Petrochemical will officially announce that it will become the sponsor and naming agent of the F1 China Grand Prix, and at the same time announced that Zhang Yifei will become the driver's spokesperson.
However, the press conference is still underway, and the specific time of the meeting is still uncertain, it should be within half a month.
In addition to these two items, some other contract content was rejected by Zhang Yifei, including going to Donghai to shoot two promotional videos.
It’s really a joke. The 800,000 USD for an F1 driver to sponsor and endorse it is already a big profit. He also needs to cooperate in shooting promotional videos in Donghai. Zhang Yifei doesn’t have the time and energy to do it.
Of course, if Huaxia Petrochemical has to make trouble, it would be impossible, and you have to increase the money!
After dealing with the issue of signing a contract with Huaxia Petrochemical, Zhang Yifei returned to Hong Kong Island the next day because he had to complete the sponsorship agreement with Guo Henian.
At the same time, there is another more important point, that is, Zhang Yifei wants to go to Ao Island as soon as possible to get familiar with the East Ocean Track.
Because the street track has a distinctive feature, that is, it is impossible to test the running according to the competition environment. After all, the track is temporarily closed from the street, so it is naturally impossible to test the running and also close the road.
Therefore, the O Island F3 event requires more sufficient pre-match preparations. At least Zhang Yifei has to go to the field to see what this Dongwangyang track looks like.
Chapter completed!
