Now that Zhang Yifei already knows Prost’s plan, he has to find a way to intervene. After all, no other people in this era do not have the epoch-making vision of him.

If you let it go completely, Prost might really give priority to changing to the Mercedes-Benz engine with the strongest performance. After all, it will either not be replaced, and it is really a point of being in a desperate situation. Even if you are selling your money, you must match Zhang Yifei with the strongest event engine, so that you can have the chance to win the annual championship!

But only Zhang Yifei knew that next year's Mercedes-Benz engine would be a younger brother. To be precise, all the racing cars next year will be younger brothers standing in front of the Ferrari F2002.

So Zhang Yifei had nothing to consider, so he directly focused his goal on the 051 event engine, but how to negotiate this matter requires long-term consideration.

After all, Ferrari is not a supplier like Mercedes-Benz. There is no Mercedes-Benz factory team in the f1 paddock. They are just simple engine suppliers and there is no interest in selling it to anyone.

Ferrari is different. They have the ambition to defend the world champions continuously and cannot sell their engines to powerful competitors.

The reason why I was willing to sell it to Prost team in history is that the other party is a younger brother and has no ability to threaten his championship. If I sell it, I can still make a lot of money.

But today's Prost team is different. With Zhang Yifei's joining, both the team atmosphere and the strength of the drivers have changed qualitatively. In addition, in the Brazilian Grand Prix just passed, Zhang Yifei also achieved the feat of overtaking Schumacher, which shows the threat to the Ferrari team.

Under such a situation, it is probably not that easy to buy the Ferrari team's engine.

Moreover, Zhang Yifei is not the team management and has no decision-making power. It is even more difficult for him to change Prost's procurement direction.

In a sense, Zhang Yifei needs to show a ability to "turn the tide" at this time.

Seeing that Zhang Yifei did not answer his question and looked thoughtful on his face, Junko Takeda did not continue to ask questions, but instead changed to a more relaxed topic.

"By the way, the team has almost arrived at the Catalonia track in Spain. Are you planning to continue to cultivate in Brazil for a while or go to Europe for treatment?"

"Although the injury is not very serious, the medical level in Europe is better, and Barcelona is a football city and has a lot of experience in sports injuries. I think you can get better treatment when you go to Europe."

"In addition, Brazil's security environment is not very good, which is also an unfavorable factor."

Hearing Takeda Junko's words, Zhang Yifei nodded. It was true that the convoy had left, and there was no need for him to stay in Brazil alone.

Another issue is safety. Even during the recovery period, bodyguards are arranged at the door of the ward to prevent the threat of death before the game from coming true.

However, compared with the intense emotions of American audiences before the game, various public opinions after the game have eased a lot. First, Zhang Yifei did not win the sub-station championship, which made them feel a sense of balance. No one got it, so there was no so-called envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Another thing is Zhang Yifei's performance on the Brazilian track. When he calmed down and thought about it, this Chinese newcomer did a good job.

Strength is always an eternal symbol of competitive sports. If you don’t have grades, you’re even breathing wrong. If you have grades, you can easily be forgiven as long as you are not a matter of principle.

After all, Zhang Yifei's little trouble was nothing more than a few harsh words before the game, and then the competition on the track was a little fierce. If you didn't look at this matter with home mood, it would be a big deal to say something harsh words in competitive sports, it wouldn't be a grudge to kill your father!

As time passed and the popularity dropped, no one mentioned it any more.

However, no one can guarantee that one or two lunatics appeared in the hundreds of millions of people in South America, so the bodyguards and other things still did not withdraw. However, this atmosphere is not a solution. It is best to leave Brazil and return to Europe.

"Okay, Junko, please help me clean up and we are ready to leave Brazil."

"Then I will book a flight to Barcelona tonight and notify the fleet to prepare to pick it up."

Junko Takeda was very efficient. After agreeing, she got up and prepared to pack her luggage and book a plane ticket.

"No, I won't go to Barcelona."

Zhang Yifei interrupted Takeda Junko's behavior.

"Then where are we going?"

"China!"

China? Takeda Junko was completely stunned. She really didn't expect that Zhang Yifei would come up with the idea of ​​returning to China at this time.

"Why do we go to China? Is it because Yifeijun, are you homesick?"

"No, but there are more important things to do."

"What's the matter?"

Now Junko Takeda became more and more confused. Why did she feel that after Zhang Yifei was injured, she was not as frustrated and angry as an ordinary driver, but she was full of fighting spirit and mysterious?

"money!"

Zhang Yifei gave his answer simply and roughly.

He didn't know how much history has changed, but Zhang Yifei knew one thing very well, that is, the current Prost team has a financial crisis, and at least it can't afford to buy the new racing engine.

In fact, this is easy to guess. The Peugeot engine fails continuously during the winter testing period. How could Prost, the four-champion champion, not be able to see it?

Why does Prost still insist on using Peugeot engines? The fleet has reached this point. Can sentiment really be eaten?

The answer is of course not. Prost has no money to change engine suppliers, so he can only choose a relatively cheap Peugeot engine.

As Zhang Yifei observed the team over the past six months, the current funding gap of Prost team should be close to the level of tens of millions of US dollars. Whether it is team operation or participation costs, it is similar to burning money.

The most expensive one is of course the development of new racing cars, otherwise the Prost team would not be so miserable.

Many times, when some small teams really don’t have money, they even use a racing model for two consecutive years. Prost was once a driver, and at the level of a legendary driver.

He knew better in his heart that if he didn't develop a new racing car, it would be like giving up completely. So even in the most difficult moment, Prost did not give up on the development of the new racing car. On the eve of bankruptcy and liquidation in history, the prototype Ap05 was still in a storm, which was really tragic.

If everything went well, Zhang Yifei had good results and the team's attention increased, so the f1 copyright share would be more at the end of the year. In addition, fame may bring more advertising sponsors, and the team's difficulties might be over.

However, now Zhang Yifei is injured and withdraws from the competition. Even if his fame and influence are top-notch newcomers, Prost doesn't have time to cash out these things.

Diniz's investment funds have actually been used to fill the holes of last year. If history has not changed much, you need to prepare at least 30 million US dollars to obtain Ferrari's engine.

The Prost team will definitely not be able to get this price. The way to think of is to continue to sell the team's shares.

Zhang Yifei is the current driver, and to be honest, he has no decision-making power when it comes to the topic of truly determining the future fate of the team.

If you want to change a little, so that Prost team can win the Ferrari engine and have the opportunity to compete with the Ferrari Mars rover next year, you must have enough voice.

What Zhang Yifei wants to do now is to use the two or three months of recovery and recovery, plus the summer break of the F1 season for about one month to get enough funds to invest in the Prost team.

Even in the final stage, a "Bizhanjiu" will be acquired to acquire the first F1 fleet owned by China Holdings.

Zhang Yifei has no psychological burden for doing this kind of thing. After all, acquisition of F1 teams is a common thing, and he is not a big poaching act. Moreover, the Prost team has been very cold in history, and it is precisely because of his arrival that he gave Prost a chance to prolong his life.

If he could control Prost, at least it would change the fate of the team's final bankruptcy and liquidation. All the crew members could stay steadily, and Prost's own efforts could also be retained.

And even if Zhang Yifei doesn't do it, it's just being acquired by other capitals, because the current situation in Prost team is irreversible.

If that's the case, it's better to take the lead!

When he heard Zhang Yifei say the word money, Junko Takeda vaguely guessed what Zhang Yifei wanted to do.

Because the capital market is already rumored, Prost plans to sell forty percent of the team's shares to obtain enough funds to purchase the event engine.

You should know that F1 racing is not created out of thin air when the new season arrives. It must be developed and tested early in advance. Otherwise, if the racing car with poor stability is not good, you will wait for every failure to withdraw from the race.

Now the body of the Prost JS54 racing car has been designed and needs to be equipped with the gearbox and the engine. Otherwise, it will cause a future generation. Williams team got the car done and suddenly found that the engine was too big to fit.

If nothing unexpected happens, in the past or two months, Prost will announce various lives, announce the termination of cooperation with Peugeot, sell shares, find new engine suppliers, etc.

But Junko Takeda was still shocked. If what Zhang Yifei wanted to do was really the same as he thought, then this action could be described as a snake swallowing an elephant.

You should know that tens of millions of dollars are not a small amount, especially for Zhang Yifei, who is still in the "small role", it can be regarded as an astronomical number.
