At Guangzhou-Shenzhen International Airport, Zhang Yifei quietly came to the underground parking lot with a mask and sunglasses, but no one noticed his whereabouts.

This time it was not during the game, and after a round trip between Tokyo-Paris and Rio de Janeiro, Zhang Yifei's whereabouts had basically become a mystery. Even the fanatical fans and paparazzi who had been following him had no way to learn about his return to Guangzhou and Shenzhen in advance, avoiding the trouble of being "surrounded" at the airport.

If you become a celebrity, what makes Zhang Yifei difficult to adapt is this excessive pursuit of losing his personal freedom. In the past, the scenes of easy travel, street travel, etc. have become luxury now, and often they are disguised as if they are thieves.

So in comparison, Zhang Yifei "likes" to stay abroad because there are not so many people who know and pay attention to him, so it is relatively easier and more free. Maybe this is the price of becoming a celebrity.

In the underground parking lot, Lu Ningping and Zhang Zhiguo were already waiting here early. Their expressions were very calm, but their hearts were already surging.

This time, Zhang Yifei's return to China is different from the past, and it is more like a successful and famous return home. Zhang Yifei used his strength and achievements in the newcomer season to prove that Chinese drivers are also standing on the world stage, even at the highest peak!

They used to regard Zhang Yifei as their hope, and now they regard Zhang Yifei as their pride!

From the elevator, Zhang Yifei saw the two familiar figures from afar. A feeling of indescribable rushes to Zhang Yifei's heart.

To be honest, when he stayed in Guangzhou and Shenzhen before, he felt that he was a "cold" person and looked down on everything about life and death. After all, he had experienced too many similar situations and had long been used to it.

But every time I come back and see these two middle-aged people looking at themselves with anticipation, I can really feel the warmth of what "home" is, which is a feeling that Zhang Yifei had never experienced in his previous life.

"Here I'm back."

"Yeah, I'm back."

A very simple conversation, but it contains rich feelings. Zhang Zhiguo habitually took the backpack and suitcase from Zhang Yifei. Even though Zhang Yifei is already alone now and is even taller and stronger than him, as a father, he still proves his love with his actions.

"Get into the car. This time your aunt has also come here. She came to Guangzhou and Shenzhen to cook a table of good dishes, worried that you won't be able to eat abroad."

Lu Ningping also patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder, and then put his luggage into the back trunk with Zhang Zhiguo.

This time I drove over no longer a performance car, but a most ordinary Volkswagen Santana 2000. This car may also be the memory of the Chinese people in the era.

When I returned to the car repair shop in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the store did not open today because of Zhang Yifei's arrival. However, Zhang Yifei unexpectedly discovered that there were already many banners on the street where he lived.

"Congratulations to Chinese driver Zhang Yifei for becoming the best newcomer of the F1 season!"

"The future star of the racing industry, the pride of the Chinese!"

"The strongest driver in Asia, the superstar who walked out of the streets of xx!"

"Changrong Auto Repair Factory wishes Zhang Yifei to win the Indy Championship. Really quality, look for Changrong!"

Looking at the banners, the back became various advertisements that were popular, Zhang Yifei was a little confused.

"Old man, what's going on in this Changrong Auto Repair Factory? Does it have anything to do with me?"

"It's okay, but the streets we live in are all congratulatory like this."

Zhang Zhiguo replied indifferently, even with a hint of pride in his tone, and he didn't realize that this was an act of riding on popularity and even infringing on the right to reputation of advertising.

But this is the case in this era. A street is basically familiar with it. Moreover, Changrong Auto Repair Factory may also supply parts for repair shops and are acquainted with the old man. So in his opinion, these banners are all very respectful behaviors, which means that their son has a bright future!

"All right."

Zhang Yifei replied helplessly, this is the case in this era. He doesn’t care about advertising fees, but the feeling of seeing all kinds of people can see their own name banners is really a bit weird...

When he returned to his home in Guangshen, a sumptuous meal had already been prepared on the table. This time, Aunt Lu heard that Zhang Yifei was going home and insisted on coming together. She was worried that he would not have enough food abroad, so she had this scene in front of her.

To be honest, when Zhang Yifei saw this sumptuous meal, he felt a sore nose in an instant, not just because of the warmth of home and Aunt Lu’s care.

But in my memory, I have been fed by the old man's "pig food" technique for more than ten years. I have never seen a decent table of food at home. It's a bitter tears to think about it...

"Yifei, I'm tired of competing abroad, but I'm lucky to be in trouble."

When Aunt Lu saw Zhang Yifei coming in, she kept looking up and down, trying to see if she had lost weight or lost weight. But after looking around, she unexpectedly found that Zhang Yifei was taller and stronger than before, and there was another very important point, that is, she became more mature and steady.

"Aunt Lu, I'm fine, it's pretty good abroad."

Zhang Yifei replied with a smile, then looked at it, and asked, "Has Ning Jing not come?"

"No, she was clamoring to come together, but there is no holiday yet, especially the college entrance examination will be next year, so she didn't let her come."

"That's a good study."

Zhang Yifei echoed, if this little girl hadn't met him, she would have probably embarked on the rebellious path of Sharmatt.

It is not possible to be without education these days. Take Zhang Yifei himself as an example. If he had not had professional experience in his previous life, his English speaking was pretty good. Otherwise, it would be difficult to be a driver in this life, and he would not be able to communicate directly with the team, and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the professional racing circle dominated by Europe and the United States.

After saying hello, Zhang Yifei went to the table to have dinner, not talking about the game, but more about life and experiences abroad. In fact, Zhang Yifei's experiences in the game, whether Zhang Zhiguo or Lu Ningping, basically followed various media reports. They may know the situation and process at that time better than Zhang Yifei himself.

I haven't eaten the taste of my hometown for a long time. This time, Zhang Yifei also relaxed restrictions and ate until he was over. You should know that with his daily routine, he now has strict requirements on diet and has not indulged in this way for a long time.

After drinking and eating, Aunt Lu took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen to clean up. At this time, Zhang Yifei took out the bank card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Ningping and said, "Uncle Lu, there are eight million US dollars here. You can build a kart club according to the highest standards as possible. If you don't have enough money in the future, tell me."

"Eight million dollars?"

When they heard this number, Lu Ningping and Zhang Zhiguo had a look of surprise on their faces. They did not expect that Zhang Yifei could take out such a huge sum of money.

"Well, I took on the endorsement from Puma and Coca-Cola. You should be able to see advertisements on TV around New Year's Day."

"Old Zhang, it's really the younger generation of the Yangtze River that pushed the older generation. At that time, we had a sponsorship of hundreds of thousands of yuan, which was a sky-high price. Now we can take advantage of eight million yuan, or US dollars."

Lu Ningping said in a tone of emotion that, in addition to Mitsubishi and Subaru providing racing and technical support, the Hong Kong and Beijing Rally only had 555 cigarette sponsorship bonus and expenses.

After the entire rally, even if you win all the substation championships, the maximum subsidy is hundreds of thousands of yuan. Now less than ten years have passed, Zhang Yifei has taken eight million US dollars. This is something that older generation drivers once dared not think about.

"Yes, times have changed, and Yifei's achievements are not comparable to those of us old guys."

Zhang Zhiguo replied in a self-deprecating tone, but he felt full of pride in his heart.

This is not just a matter of money, but the hope that once was realized. My son stood on the world's highest racing stage, with a level of status and income as foreign top drivers!

Lu Ningping nodded, then looked at Zhang Yifei, turning the topic back to the construction of the kart club.

"If Yifei is based on high standards, this money is enough to build a standard track in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. I even think that the vision should not be limited to kart training, and it can be relaxed to the primary equation!"

With money, you have confidence. Zhang Yifei's emergence has led many people to desire and understand racing. Just like when Yao Ming entered the NBA and directly opened up the Chinese basketball market.

Lu Ningping felt that he could try to challenge the primary equation. You should know that karts can only be regarded as the "cradle", but the primary equation has already entered the threshold of Formula racing and can enter the global F3 level competition, which is essentially different.

"Yes, then build a club according to the Elementary Formula."

Regarding Uncle Lu's idea of ​​improving his goals, Zhang Yifei nodded directly to agree. Since he has the ability to improve his level, why not do it?

Zhang Yifei's ambition for Chinese racing has never been limited to the level of kart, but to explore the true meaning of racing!

Motorsports, for drivers, pursue speed and passion, but for a car company and country, this is not the goal at all.

What car companies need to do is to use professional automobile events to demonstrate their brand strength and strength. The most successful example here is that Honda relies on the supply of F1 event engines in the 1970s and 1980s to make itself famous.

Not only in Japan, it has achieved a position that matches giants such as Toyota, Nissan and others, but even around the world, it has made itself a representative of "high performance and high technology" engine technology.

The impact on the country is even more direct, otherwise there would be no famous slogan "buy an engine and get a car".

The basis of all this is that Honda has made its reputation for engines through various professional events, especially McLaren, through completing the F1 dynasty rule with McLaren. Then it is transferred to the civilian market and will naturally gain customer recognition.

What Zhang Yifei wants to do is not just to open a club. In the future, he will cooperate in depth with Huali or other domestic automakers to build a Formula Factory Team belonging to China.
