Although the old drunkard looked very strict on the surface, he even looked a little dissatisfied with Lin Xiangbei's idea.

But in fact, he already had a high evaluation of Lin Xiangbei. With this kid's current age and connections, it is objectively good that he can bring his partners to form a team of cars by himself.

Due to the limitations of factors such as funds and experience, some mistakes in details and ideas are actually harmless.

"Uncle Xu, you pay for it too?"

Lin Xiangbei's tone was a little surprised.

To be honest, the old drunkard has helped him a lot during this period, and in many aspects it is even beyond the level of care that the "boss" should have taken care of.

However, if you borrow a sealed performance car to drive for yourself, you can use some personal relationships on your racing license, which can also be regarded as a racing senior's support for the younger generation.

After all, many early professional drivers in China rely on traditional "master-apprentice" relationships before the professional system of racing academy and youth training camps were improved.

Not to mention the early days, even in the later generations of Lin Xiangbei, basically drivers had a master at the beginning.

For example, a few people who can be named by the public, such as Han Han’s master is Zhou Yong, and the master of idol star Wang Yibo is Li Zhengpeng, who has participated in the highest level of motorcycle competition - Motogp.

So it is not uncommon to help the younger generation casually in the racing system.

However, it is absolutely uncommon for an old drunkard to give out more than one million support by himself, unless he has actually held an introductory ceremony or has other deep-rooted relationships.

According to Lin Xiangbei's estimate, it should be the "coffin book" of the old drunkard. He took such a grand move that he trusted himself so much?

"It's borrowed."

The old drunkard didn't explain so much, and replied in an understatement.

"Then, Uncle Xu wants to write an IOU or something?"

Seeing the old drunkard like this, Lin Xiangbei laughed and teased.

"If you can't afford to pay it back, it's useless to write it, just like that."

After saying this, the old drunkard picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one go.

In a sense, this is also a "big bet" for Xu Lang.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Lin Xiangbei looked at the old drunkard in front of him and thanked him sincerely. This was indeed a great favor.

"I won't give you the money first, I'll pay the deposit for the frame and parts. You can contact Feng Bingman or other people you want to cooperate with as soon as possible, and you may have to go on a long journey next time."

“Where to go?”

"Guangdong Province and Hong Kong Island."

The old drunkard spit out two place names in a simple way.

"What's the meaning?"

Lin Xiangbei didn't understand what the old drunkard was going to do. After all, in his previous life, he went abroad to train early, except for running karts in China, and was really not very familiar with the domestic rallying set.

"If you don't have money, you want good racing parts. How can you do it if you don't want to order a solution? Also, in the Donghai area, do you think there is a track suitable for pulling training?"

After hearing this, Lin Xiangbei immediately understood that there is no problem with international metropolis like the East China Sea to use it to run RVs or even equations.

After all, the only F1 Grand Prix track in China is built in the East China Sea.

However, except for the venue, the other terrain required for the rally is basically impossible to find in the East China Sea.

Take Lin Xiangbei and Dongzai's mountain path last night for example. They could only go to Tianming Mountain in Wu Province, because it was not easy to find a suitable mountain in the entire East China Sea.

As for not having money and wanting good parts, Lin Xiangbei understood the meaning of this sentence. In addition to being cheaper with second-hand parts, there is another method that is also cheaper, that is, parallel goods, or more directly, smuggled goods.

After all, things like racing cars are not used as family cars, so they do not need to be registered and cannot be used on the road, and there is no such thing as annual inspection cars.

Even if it is a car inspection, it will not check where the parts are from, but will check whether they comply with the competition rules.

Lin Xiangbei didn't expect that the old alcoholic had even the same way as parallel stock parts, which looked really not easy.

Maybe because he felt Lin Xiangbei's strange gaze, the old drunkard coughed at this time, and then said, "Don't think wrongly. Guangdong Province has friends who used to be a profession, and they can provide some help."

"In addition, there is no manufacturer's technical parts support behind the establishment of a private fleet. Many things are difficult to buy in the mainland and the prices are relatively expensive. In this regard, Hong Kong Island is much more convenient and the time is faster."

"After you get a racing license, you have to consider registering for domestic events. Don't forget to owe me a champion."

"I won't forget."

Lin Xiangbei nodded, and he was also very aware of the difficulties of building a fleet without the support of the car manufacturer behind him and relying solely on personal strength.

"Nothing is wrong, just go back first."

"good."

Lin Xiangbei finished speaking. Although he still didn't know why the old drunkard would sit alone in the store tonight, it was obvious that the old drunkard needed some private space.

Just as Lin Xiangbei pushed open the store door and was about to walk out, the sound of an old drunkard suddenly came from behind him again.

"I forgot to say, what is the prototype car you want?"

"It's OK for Japanese people, or just Subaru Impreza."

Although rally cars have basically been modified except for one car shell, they still need a mass-produced car shell.

Japanese performance cars were founded in the glorious era of WRC by Mitsubishi, Subaru, Toyota, etc. in the 1980s and 1990s. At that time, they were at the peak of Japanese performance cars.

With the beginning of the financial crisis in 1998, Japanese performance cars began to enter a recession period, and major auto manufacturers have frozen their performance car projects and withdrawn from various professional events.

The last Japanese car winner in WRC was won by Pete Soberg in 2003 in the Subaru Impreza.

Since then, Japanese cars have no longer had any competitiveness on the WRC stage. In the end, even Mitsubishi Evo and Subaru WRX, the destined rivals who have "wanted to fight and fall in love" for more than 20 years, withdrew from the competition, and WRC has completely become the world of European cars.

According to the trend of the times, Lin Xiangbei's best choice of prototype cars should be Ford Focus WRC version, or Citroen C4 WRC version, because these two cars are the champion models in recent years and have very excellent structural design.

But the problem is that European cars are very unpopular in China. Especially this kind of WRC racing version is very difficult to find parts, and basically they need to be airlifted from Europe. Compared with Japanese racing parts, it is much easier to find.

Another more important point is that Subaru formed the Chinese rally fleet in 2004, which is also the first rally fleet established by a world-class automobile manufacturer in China, and its operating base is in Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.

Therefore, choosing Subaru Impreza as its rally prototype will save a lot of trouble in the subsequent modification. Perhaps in terms of structural design, Impreza has lagged behind the European champion model, but Lin Xiangbei has not run WRC now, so it should be enough to compete in domestic competitions.

"Good, very thoughtful."

The old drunkard naturally understood the reason behind Lin Xiangbei's choice of Subaru Impreza. Judging from Lin Xiangbei's age, it is really not easy to consider the subsequent maintenance and modification.

"If there is nothing else, Uncle Xu, I will go back first."

Lin Xiangbei said, the old drunkard did not turn around, waved his hand and signaled that he could leave.

Just as Lin Xiangbei was about to close the door and leave, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Xu, don't drink it, you can go back too."
