The Prost Racing R&D Center is not very far from Paris Airport, and it only takes half an hour to drive.

At the entrance of the R&D center, Wang Gang was already standing there waiting for Zhang Yifei and Prost. In recent days, he has been busy with the error of racing parts.

After all, Prost and Huali Group's relationship is far from close to Zhang Yifei. It is even said that Prost is unwilling to cooperate with Chinese capital from the bottom of his heart.

Now that the two sides have cooperated for a few days, such a big problem has arisen. If the cooperation breaks down, it will be unimaginable for the loss of Huali Group. Not only will all efforts be wasted, but the Chinese automobile industry has the opportunity to overtake will be blocked from now on.

So now Wang Gang hopes that Zhang Yifei will arrive so that he can coordinate the relationship between the two parties well.

Seeing Zhang Yifei get out of the car, Wang Gang first went over and said hello, "Yifei, thank you for your hard work."

Of course he understood that Zhang Yifei was able to fly to the French headquarters during such a tense time of the event, which was naturally to help Huali Group solve the problem. It can be said that Huali Group was able to enter the F1 team all thanks to Zhang Yifei's own efforts.

"Mr. Wang, you are polite, let's go in and talk."

Zhang Yifei waved his hand. He never regarded this matter as a matter between the Warrior Group and the Prost fleet, but as his own responsibility and obligation.

In any case, this opportunity to overtake on the curve is not only because Huali Group doesn’t want to miss it, but also because Zhang Yifei doesn’t want to miss it!

The three of them came to the conference room of the R&D center, and there was no outsider, so after sitting down, Zhang Yifei asked straight to the point: "Boss, tell me what happened."

On the phone, Prost only mentioned the responsibility for the accuracy error of the parts, which was with Chinese technicians, but they were not very detailed.

"Okay, I'll talk about the process."

Prost cleared his voice and began to say in a serious tone: "After the American Grand Prix, Charlie found the real reason for the racing deviation, because some parts of the front axle had subtle errors in processing accuracy."

"This error is difficult to see with the naked eye, and even if the instrument is not accurate enough, it will not be discovered. So when you are playing low-intensity, you don't feel much problem, and you can do it simply by tightening the screws."

"But in high-intensity events, especially the impact force brought by riding on the shoulder, can instantly magnify the error countless times, and even directly affect the handling of the racing car. Therefore, these parts were sent back to the French headquarters for careful inspection after the race, and confirmed that it was a problem with the processing accuracy of Chinese technicians."

"Fei, I know you have a strong national and national sentiment, but if a fleet wants to survive in the F1 paddock, it is not possible to rely on feelings. I have a deep understanding of this, so I hope you can look at this matter rationally, and even replace all Chinese technicians, who cannot meet the F1 standards and requirements!"

Prost said it very seriously, which was what he thought. After all, no one understands better than him what kind of consequences would be caused by persistence in running a fleet with feelings.

Even the Greater France dream has been given up. What else can Prost care about the Chinese dream?

When he heard Prost's last sentence, Zhang Yifei's face became solemn. It seemed that things were even more serious than he thought. Prost had begun to consider replacing Chinese R&D personnel.

If you do not return to your headquarters in France, things may actually happen, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

Zhang Yifei was a little secretly grateful at this moment, but fortunately he was back.

"Boss, if this matter is confirmed to be a mistake by Chinese technicians, they should indeed be responsible."

"But I don't understand one thing very well. Chinese technicians should have been at the French headquarters for a few days. Maybe they didn't even understand the R&D center well. Why did they start making parts directly?"

This is also the key to Zhang Yifei's discovery of the problem. Whenever there is a problem, he cannot say that Chinese technicians are not good, and their level is low.

Indeed, Zhang Yifei also admitted that in this era, even China's top automobile engineers still have a big gap with Europe. However, the advantages of Chinese technicians that Zhang Yifei mentioned before, such as diligence, professionalism, discipline, etc., are real, not what he exaggerated.

On the day of the end of the Austrian Grand Prix, Zhang Yifei returned to his headquarters in France and visited the latest racing car. In the face of shortage of personnel, Prost agreed to the request of joining the Chinese technician on the spot. The Huali Group immediately sent personnel from the European R&D Center to the Prost R&D Center and seized this opportunity.

Later, Zhang Yifei waited for parts in the United States for about a week. In other words, during this week, all Chinese R&D personnel began to independently process racing parts, and did not even have enough basic training time.

Is this saying that Prost is too heartless or trusts Chinese researchers too much, and thinks that they should all be geniuses among geniuses, and that they can get started with world-class standards?

Facing Zhang Yifei's replies, Prost looked a little embarrassed, and then said: "At that time, the staff was short of staff, and the team urgently needed parts to assemble racing cars. When the new racing car was developed at a critical moment, people could not be transferred. So I asked Chinese technicians to process parts, thinking that the parameters were all there, and it should be no problem to let them do it."

"Boss, are you kidding me? The accuracy of customized parts at the F1 level is just a matter of hands-on?"

Zhang Yifei now fully understands that if there is a problem with accuracy, Prost will take the blame at least 50%. Let a group of novices who have not experienced training and have just entered the F1 field just start to rush the shelves. Isn’t it normal for problems to occur?

To be honest, Zhang Yifei felt that at this moment, there was only a slight error in the accuracy, which already represented the good quality of Chinese technicians. If it were newcomers from other countries, they might not be as good as Chinese engineers!

"But they made work mistakes, which is a fact! And if the Prost team wants to improve their competitiveness, we need more professional and top engineers!"

Prost expressed his inner thoughts, but he just didn't like this group of new and rookie engineers in China.

The team had no money and no one before, so there was no way. I thought of letting them make do with it, which would be considered as giving Zhang Yifei a face. However, with Zhang Yifei winning the American Grand Prix championship and the crushing Indy 500 Kings, as long as the IQ is fine, the potential of this Chinese boy can be seen!

After the game, international giants such as BT, Shell Petroleum, Red Bull Beverage, all extended olive branches to Prost team.

It can be said that the Prost team is not the same as before, but is already a popular team in the F1 paddock. Funding shortage is no longer the biggest problem that plagues the team. If you have money, there are people. The racing R&D center can recruit more top and professional engineers in Europe. Why do you still need a group of Chinese rookies?

After all, Prost has always had his own ambitions. He wants to be comparable to the Big Three, and R&D strength is the basis for a team's victory!

"It is indeed true, but I don't think it's all the mistakes of Chinese R&D personnel. The fleet management should take responsibility!"

"And boss, I want to emphasize to you that Prost team wants to improve their competitiveness, but Chinese technicians, as long as they give them time, they will definitely become the most professional and top engineers!"

Zhang Yifei never doubted the wisdom and ability of the Chinese, but lacked time and opportunity.

This culprit cannot be taken by Chinese technicians. If you have to find someone to take the blame, it should be the team management, Prost!

"Fly, we don't have time to train a group of new players. What should we do if this leads to no competitiveness in the new season next year?"

"Can you still be less competitive than this year and last year?"

Zhang Yifei replied very directly.

"Boss, don't question the learning ability of Chinese engineers, and don't question my strength. Can I prove myself, and Chinese engineers can do the same. When the fleet went bankrupt, you dared to gamble, but now don't?"

Zhang Yifei expressed his toughness. He worked hard to get Chinese capital and technicians into the Prost fleet, but he had no intention of letting them come out again.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhang Yifei stayed in a bad team like Prost is that he could give the Chinese automobile industry a chance. Otherwise, he would be able to get higher treatment, better performance racing cars, and more professional services at all, and he would not have to think about so many tricks!

When Prost listened to Zhang Yifei's words, he actually felt unhappy and anger in his heart. Is Zhang Yifei challenging his authority as the team boss?

Prost was willing to bet because he had no choice and had a stronger transfer driver. Prost would not sign Zhang Yifei. There was no one to accept Chinese engineers later, so there was no one barefoot who was so picky.

But now it is different. Prost is rich and wears shoes. Of course, he is unwilling to accept low-level Chinese engineers. The cost and time spent on training and the possible risks are not in line with the interests of the boss and the fleet.

"Fei, don't be emotional, this is the future of everyone in the entire fleet!"

"Boss, if a person does not have any pursuit and feelings, what's the difference between it and a salted fish? Can you still remember your original wishes and your passion?"

"I remember, but I have to give up for those who have given their contributions to the convoy!"

When Prost heard this, he also burst out and stood up and looked at Zhang Yifei. This was the deepest and sensitive thing in his heart.

"If I had no such belief and passion, I would not be able to achieve my current results, which is also the reason I must persist!"
