390 fleet transition
. , the latest chapter of the Car God Spokesperson is updated the fastest!
Sophia is indeed a Prost team girl, but she is not like a volunteer, she is more like a member of the team.
After all, the Diniz family owns 20% of the Prost team's shares. In addition to its founder Prost, the second largest shareholder, and surpasses the naming company, the European Acer Computer.
However, compared to the reputation of Acer computers, the Diniz family is much more low-key. They are the top ten richest people in Brazil. Their main industries are clothing and import and export trade. The largest agent and manufacturer of the German Puma Group in South America is the Diniz family.
Puma began to enter China in 1999, but compared with Nike and Adidas, Puma is obviously much weaker.
So Puma Group began to take a different approach, football and basketball are already considered places for a long battle. Every time you sign a star or team, you have to pay a high price. However, the signing prices of boxing, golf, and racing have not yet been launched. As long as you don’t aim at a superstar level like Schumacher, you can basically choose between millions of dollars.
So they set their target on Zhang Yifei. The price of new drivers is not high, but they have an unparalleled huge influence in the Chinese market. As the world's largest market with a population of 1.2 billion, the signing fee of 3 million US dollars is undoubtedly cost-effective.
Diniz originally wanted Prost to discuss with Zhang Yifei directly, but when Sophia heard the news, she volunteered to come over to negotiate. The main reason was that she felt deeply curious about Zhang Yifei, a new driver from China.
Before entering F1, many media reported on Zhang Yifei, but most of his image in the media was arrogant, arrogant, and unscrupulous.
This image is completely different from the previous impression of Chinese people, so Sophia wanted to see what is special about this Chinese newcomer that can allow someone like Prost to sign him at risk and controversy.
What Sophia didn't expect was that Zhang Yifei, who came into contact with the lounge, was completely different from the media reports. Adjectives such as quietness, low-keyness, and forbearance can be placed on him.
Most of his free time, he patiently watched the game video in the lounge or discussed tactics with the team strategy group. He was also very able to listen to the opinions of the chief competition engineer humbly, and he was completely different from the image in the report!
But once Zhang Yifei stands on the track, the Chinese driver will have to keep a low profile and endure, and add a killing.
Zhang Yifei on the track was extremely radical and full of offensive desire, and had no quiet shadow in the lounge at all. It seemed that Zhang Yifei had two forms, and the contrast was very large.
Another thing that made Sophia feel very dissatisfied, that is, in the past few days, Zhang Yifei met with him in the lounge passage several times, but he really didn't look at him seriously. This is essentially different from other European and American drivers!
You should know that many F1 drivers are used to hooking up with racing girls during rest. Zhang Yifei's performance is like he is not a woman, which makes Sophia begin to doubt her charm.
That's why she dressed up hotly to deliberately tease Zhang Yifei. Although this Chinese driver finally controlled himself, Sophia still felt his psychological changes from Zhang Yifei's many minor movements, such as swallowing saliva.
This made Sophia very satisfied. It seemed that this piece of Chinese wood still knows how to appreciate beauty.
Since she proved her charm, Sophia's subsequent actions became much more normal, so she began to tell Zhang Yifei about the specific details of sponsorship.
For example, Puma will sponsor the racing shoes worn by Zhang Yifei and print Puma's logo on the racing suit. The reason why the racing suit is not mentioned is that the Prost team's clothing has been provided by Puma now, so there is no need to sign a double contract with Zhang Yifei.
In fact, Puma not only started to cooperate with Prost team, but has already contracted with Ferrari team since the 1970s. It can be said that they are one of the most core partners of Ferrari team.
Later, Puma also sponsored Williams, BMW Sauber, and even became an official partner of F1. Being able to buy peripheral products from F1 official and even all its fleets in Puma’s store, it can be said that Puma’s influence in F1 is similar to Nike’s position in NBA.
At the same time, Zhang Yifei will also become the spokesperson for Puma Greater China, which is their main purpose of choosing to sign Zhang Yifei. The Chinese market is too big and the economy is beginning to take off. Puma has shown its ambition to seize this emerging market!
After talking about some of the main directions of the contract, Zhang Yifei talked about some relaxed topics to Sophia.
This kind of conversation is more about Sophia's curiosity and unilateral inquiry about Zhang Yifei. At the same time, Zhang Yifei also knew that Sophia intentionally made these provocative actions tonight, otherwise he would have thought that he was full of charm and had some luck in love.
The chat was almost done, and the cocktail party was over. Many drivers had already taken their female companions out of the bar.
Among them are several famous F1 playboys, such as David Coothard. In the news of his later generations, there are no less than five female companions at the supermodel level.
After all, objectively speaking, Coothard is very masculine and has a good body shape for top drivers, so it is not surprising that he has become a famous "beauty killer".
In addition, Eddie Erwin, Villeneuve, and Ralph Schumacher are not all that are easy to use.
However, compared with these old-fashioned playboys, newcomers such as Alonso and Jason Patton are not to be outdone.
Jenson Patton and Zhang Yifei knew that this guy had a relationship with Wales 800m star Davidson, models Beverly Bloom, Rosa, and even had a relationship with Coothard's two ex-girlfriends, Simone and supermodel Campbell.
A role that can be ranked first on the F1 historical playboy rankings.
However, the top brother Alonso and Zhang Yifei are paying more attention to his professional achievements, but they didn't expect that they would have such a side.
But if you think about it carefully, there were many rumors about Alonso's divorce in his later years, such as Russian young model, Spanish sports female anchor, and motorcycle king Rossi's ex-girlfriend Linda, etc., anyway, there were many.
What really surprised Zhang Yifei was that an open Latin driver like Montoya chose to leave alone.
It seems that Montoya is already engaged to his girlfriend. In a sense, he is a more dedicated driver in F1, so he can't look at people by his impression.
In addition, what surprised Zhang Yifei was Kimi Raikkonen. Iceman was still quite cold. He was half a professional driver and half an otaku. He did not provoke racing girls, which was also very consistent with his image.
As for other drivers, Zhang Yifei didn't pay much attention to it. Tonight he had completely satisfied his gossip mentality about F1 drivers in his later generations.
After all, I am a professional driver and not an entertainment reporter, so I can almost stop at it.
Walking out of the bar gate, Alaisi had already parked his car at the door. Seeing Zhang Yifei and Sophia come out together, he said, "Do you want me to lend you the car and take Sophia home?"
Alessi had already known Sophia's identity. In the afternoon, he looked at Zhang Yifei's eagerness to speak but stopped behavior, but in fact he wanted to tell him about Sophia.
But there was no chance at that time, and then Sophia told her again, but in the end he didn't expose it.
Now it seems that Zhang Yifei and Sophia get along well. He doesn't mind the beauty of adulthood and help this Chinese teammate.
The meaning of sending Sophia home is very obvious. Faced with this, Zhang Yifei felt a little hesitant in his heart. A hot beauty like Sophia is really a bit difficult to control when she is a man, let alone Zhang Yifei, who is still a single dog now.
Especially in this atmosphere tonight, it is easy to develop a herd mentality. However, for some reason, when Zhang Yifei wanted to agree, a figure in white clothes always appeared in his mind. Maybe this is the real reason for his hesitation.
However, Sophia helped Zhang Yifei make a choice, and she said, "No, my driver has already driven over."
While she was talking, a Mercedes-Benz S drove over and parked behind Alessi Maserati's car.
This answer also made Zhang Yifei feel relieved. Otherwise, as a man, he would have been a little shaken when facing the temptation of a human beauty like Sophia.
"Okay, I guess we're going to see you in Marasia today."
"Well, see you in Malaysia."
Zhang Yifei waved goodbye. Sophia is not an official member of the team, and her identity as a team girl is also a playful nature.
But since the other party said so, it means that she will still appear in the Prost convoy at the Malaysian station, so Zhang Yifei naturally responded with a response.
But then again, why do you have a little expectation in your heart? Is this a man?
Waving goodbye, Zhang Yifei sat on Alaisi. The two of them did not go to the hotel, but the team repair station on the track.
Because after one race, the team will complete the packaging of supplies in about six to eight hours. And at noon the next day, all cargo planes will set sail and transport the supplies to the next overseas station, the Sepang Circuit in Malaysia.
So the time is very tight, especially for the Prost team, which is not well-manned, the work is difficult and intense.
"How do you think of Sophia?"
Alaixi, who was driving, suddenly asked, interrupting Zhang Yifei who was looking at the scenery on both sides of the streets.
"Ah? It's pretty good."
Zhang Yifei reacted and replied casually.
"I am more familiar with Sophia. She is not an open girl. Tonight I will just test you and should meet the standards of you Chinese."
"Alaisi, when did you have the potential to be a marriage agent?"
Zhang Yifei naturally understood Alaixi's words, so he laughed and joked that the relationship between the two has now eased a lot compared to the beginning. At least, there is no need to pay too much attention to this level of joke.
"I'm just telling you."
The impression of Zhang Yifei by French veterans has changed a lot after experiencing the main competition.
However, the team lost No. 1 driver in the first team competition, which still made Alaisi feel a little resentful, so it doesn't matter if Zhang Yifei is not like that.
After all, it is the mentality of the loser that he cannot let go, so the winner will not care about these things.
As a top professional driver, plus the streets without a man at night, Alessi was very fast. In less than twenty minutes, the two of them arrived at the Albert Park Raceway. At this moment, the maintenance station area was brightly lit, and all the teams were nervously dismantling.
At the Prost fleet repair station, Zhang Yifei from afar saw the boss Prost, anxiously directing the team members to dismantle. Judging from his large-scale movements and quick tone, the team's transition did not seem to be so smooth.
But what really made Zhang Yifei pay attention was the chief technician Charlie, the team technical director Coder, Kossel and others, who were surrounding the disassembled racing car, as if they were talking about something.
