442 Bloody Chinese Drivers (Chapter 3)

Zhang Yifei rested at Uncle Lu's house for a night and contacted the person in charge of Huaxia Petrochemical and Puma to ask them to prepare various shooting work quickly.

After all, compared with other drivers, Zhang Yifei is very unfamiliar with the track. During the winter break, he can only be familiar with the front tracks as well as possible in the simulator, such as the Albert Park Circuit, the Sepang Circuit, etc.

The further you go to the track, the less time Zhang Yifei practices, so he needs to use his free time in two races to try to familiarize himself with the track conditions and routes. Otherwise, he will be familiar with three practice games, which will be completely insufficient time.

The next morning, Uncle Lu drove the Ford Mustang and returned to Guangzhou and Shenzhen Market with Zhang Yifei. As soon as he passed the test, he saw that the person in charge of Puma China was already waiting. It can be said that the reception specifications and etiquette were very high.

However, this is not a very unexpected thing, because Puma has only been in Greater China for less than a year, and compared with Nike and Adidas, they can only be regarded as a younger brother. They urgently need a well-known spokesperson to help Puma open its brand.

Zhang Yifei, who just won the third place in the Malaysian Grand Prix, can be described as a hit in Greater China. At this moment, Zhang Yifei is comparable to the popularity of Yao Ming being selected as the No. 1 pick by the NBA in 2002.

Even in terms of influence, Zhang Yifei surpassed Yao Ming, because the F1 of this era is really at its peak and can be called the heyday.

So by the way, the brand value and social influence of F1 drivers have also been improved.

Not to mention that in addition to being a F1 driver, Zhang Yifei is also a breakthrough in Chinese motorsports. And F1 is not a simple sports event. It is the product of the highest technology in the automobile industry and represents the direction of the future.

It is no surprise that various factors are superimposed to give Zhang Yifei a high-standard reception.

Because he knew that Zhang Yifei was very tight, after saying hello, Puma directly took Zhang Yifei to the scene of the press conference in Yangcheng. Even dressing up and makeup were done in the RV.

At the Yangcheng Puma brand press conference, major domestic media have gathered, because this is Zhang Yifei's debut in front of domestic media after becoming popular.

In addition to these media reporters, many fanatical fans also came to the press conference to get close to Zhang Yifei.

The reason why Zhang Yifei is so popular in China is that in addition to his breakthrough in performance is his external image and his tough and bloody attitude that has made many people admire and crazy about it.

After all, many athletes before Zhang Yifei were basically the same kind of modesty, low-key, motivated and hardworking, just like carved out of a mold.

This does not mean that this image is bad, or that there is anything wrong with being modest and low-key. Instead, when everyone has no personality, the attraction will naturally decline greatly, because everyone is the same, how do you show your specialness?

But Zhang Yifei is different. He is radical and arrogant. Whoever dares to provoke is just doing it. He will decide the best on the track of grudges, even if it is a car crash, it is not false at all.

It can even be said that in front of the media, Zhang Yifei is not like a "standard good driver", but instead exposes many of his shortcomings.

But it is precisely this that makes Zhang Yifei look down-to-earth, and the driver is also alone. Even if he is as strong as Senna, he will be angry and irritable! Zhang Yifei's performance instead puts his true self in front of everyone. This is my personality, do whatever he wants!

It is this personality that has allowed many domestic audiences to see another type of athletes, igniting their passion for speed and passion, which is why they are so fanatic.

The press conference venue that could only accommodate thousands of people had already arrived before it even started, resulting in the organizer having to limit the flow. And there are many supporters of Zhang Yifei who are constantly coming from all directions, which is enough to show Zhang Yifei's current influence.

Zhang Yifei, who was sitting in the car, looked at the fans who were unable to enter due to the number of people limits, and he was a little shocked.

Because compared to the last time I returned to China, the scenes I saw this time are so exaggerated. Even Zhang Yifei himself couldn't believe it. It turned out that he was already so popular in China, with so many fans and supporters.

Entering the backstage from the VIP channel, Zhang Yifei briefly sorted out his clothes, followed Puma China to the person in charge and walked to the publishing station together.

It was from this moment that Puma will officially announce that Zhang Yifei will become their spokesperson in Greater China.

As soon as he walked out of the passage, Zhang Yifei was flashed by the flashing lights in front of him, so he couldn't open his eyes. At least there were no less than a hundred reporters in the front film, and were shooting towards Zhang Yifei frantically, as if the emperor's superstar was on stage at this moment.

At the same time, there were also fanatical shouts below.

"Zhang Yifei! Zhang Yifei! Zhang Yifei!"

"The performance of Malaysian station is great. You let me see what Chinese speed is!"

"Che Shenfei, come on Brazil Station!"

"You must win the championship next stop!"

At the beginning, it was quite normal to cheer up, and various female fans began to scream behind it.

"Zhang Yifei, I love you~!"

"Marry me quickly, I'm going to give birth to you!"

"Zhang Yifei is mine, no one can rob it!"

"Fei, who is that ghost girl at the repair station? She is not worthy of you!"

Hearing these female fans screamed, Zhang Yifei felt that he was in the "fan circle" of later generations. Unexpectedly, in this era, it was staged in advance.

Once upon a time, I envied Kimi Raikkonen for many female fans. Now, I have a lot of female fans, but it’s because I’m too handsome!

"Thank you for your support, so be more low-key. After all, I am not very modest."

When Zhang Yifei said this, the scene burst into laughter, and the noisy situation became much quieter.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the head of Puma Greater China began to introduce Puma and its upcoming products.

Finally, it began to announce loudly that Zhang Yifei will become the spokesperson for Puma Greater China, and Puma will sponsor Zhang Yifei.

Although the news has been signed for a long time, it still triggered a new round of screams from the audience.

At the end of the brand press conference is the time for reporters to ask questions. The media on site were already impatient and asked their own questions to Zhang Yifei.

"Hello Yifei, I am a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News. First of all, congratulations on winning the third place in the Malaysian Grand Prix. How do you evaluate your performance?"

"It's mid-to-top. If you perform better, you will have a chance to win the runner-up."

When this sentence was said, cheers rang out from the audience again, and only Zhang Yifei's answer would be so straightforward.

"Mr. Zhang Yifei, I am the editor-in-chief of Sports Magazine. I want to know what your heart is thinking to achieve a historic breakthrough in Chinese racing?"

"First of all, of course I am very happy to be a pioneer. Secondly, I feel that my achievements are not good enough, and Chinese racing will have a bigger breakthrough."

"Hello Zhang Yifei, I am a special correspondent of Huaxin News Agency. I believe many people know your career resume, so we are very curious, how can you perform so well without getting involved in the rain war?"

Hearing this question, Zhang Yifei picked up the microphone and looked at the reporter and said, "This question was asked by foreign reporters after the game. My answer at that time was talent."

"Yes, I have not experienced much rain battle training, but there is no foundation for rain battle in F1 history, but there are many outstanding press conferences in the rain battle. Do I have any questions about my performance well?"

"In terms of racing, foreigners are not as talented as us, and the f1 paddock is not their playground. So I want to emphasize that don't underestimate the abilities of Chinese drivers. As long as there is a chance, I believe that more Chinese drivers will shock the world!"

This is also what Zhang Yifei said in his heart. He does not think there are any differences in races in motorsports.

China's temporary backwardness is due to economic factors. Others' automobile industry has been developing for a hundred years. It is still about two thousand years since China's civilian market drives. How can we compare with others' automobile history for more than ten years?

You can't run for the time being, but you can't lose in terms of momentum, and you can't underestimate yourself. You must have a belief in your heart, that is, the day when Chinese drivers will challenge the world.

After all, there are only two countries in this world, China and foreign countries.

When Zhang Yifei finished speaking, a reporter who spoke in a coquettish manner asked: "Mr. Zhang Yifei, in the Malaysia Grand Prix, you have had a conflict with the local Malaysian driver Xiong Long, and in the post-match interview, he also provoked Ferrari team Barrichello."

"Have you ever considered international influence and will it cause dissatisfaction among audiences in other countries?"

"Are you making me laugh?"

After hearing this, Zhang Yifei did not care about so many reporters at the scene, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

"You have to understand that competitive sports are the winners and losers. I won legitimately without violating the rules. What does it mean to have conflicts? Can't you win at home at someone else's home court?"

"In addition, I don't think I'm provoking after the game interview with Barrichello. Do I have to say that my technical strength is not good and that I don't exceed Barrichello's confidence?"

"I don't even dare to say anything that surpasses my opponent. Then what am I doing in the f1 paddock? Are I going to accompany the runners, travel, and purchase agents? Please remember that my identity is a professional F1 driver, and defeating my opponent is my professional code!"

"In the end, what international influence? This set of foreign masters won't work for me. I'm not afraid of the influence. What are you afraid of?"
