Chapter 278 The fifth stop, Guangzhou

As soon as the GPX officials, who were originally composed of members of the F1 organizing committee, saw that this was an easy business opportunity, they immediately planned to hold a shareholder meeting.

The venue is set at Guangzhou, where the fifth leg of the competition will be held.

In their view, although they are just tools to help the shareholders of the ten teams make money, they think that if there is such a great opportunity to make money, the owners of these teams will not refuse it, right? This can almost be said to be a business opportunity to make money. If they do it well, can their status be improved a little?

At the same time that qualifying started as scheduled at the Guangzhou International Circuit, there was a conference room in a star hotel in Guangzhou.

As the shareholder representative of DRS, Fujiyoshi and the shareholder representatives of the other nine teams were stunned after listening to the report made by the organizing committee.

There is no other reason, because the spokesperson said in the report, such as establishing fan groups to guide consumption, and actively setting off disputes between riders on the Internet to stimulate the market, and actively promoting speculation, etc. Yesterday, Lin Shu followed He had said it before, and those who didn't know thought that this guy was eavesdropping on Lin Shu's chat with him yesterday.

"So, what do you think about this proposal?" The representative of the GPX organizing committee looked at the ten shareholder representatives working confidently and asked. He is very confident. This can be said It's an opportunity to pick up money, and they probably won't refuse it.

"Sorry, I refuse." Fujiyoshi was the first to speak. The aura of a long-standing leader began to erupt from his huge body. His eyes, which were squeezed by fat and couldn't see clearly, shone brightly. My friends have been laughing and joking for a long time. Do you really think that Master Fujiyoshi is a waste who only knows how to eat and drink?

Seeing this, the representatives of the other nine teams present were not in a hurry to express their opinions. As the initiators of GPX, Fujiyoshi and DRS were vaguely ranked first among them, not to mention the fact that behind this team stood It's the Chinese official.

I saw Fujiyoshi slowly speaking again: "You only talked about the benefits, but there is an old Chinese saying that there is no free lunch in the world. So, can you tell us what the consequences we will bear if we do what you said? ?”

“What consequences can this have? This can be said to be free money.” The representative of the GPX organizing committee was so shocked by Fujiyoshi’s aura that he felt guilty. .

"We chose to cooperate with you because of your mature F1 event operation capabilities. This does not mean that you are completely irreplaceable, understand?" Fujiyoshi said, "Since you are not going to make it clear, Let me tell you.”

“Everyone, don’t forget what our basic base is?” Fujiyoshi turned to look at the representatives of other teams, “The reason why GPX is now the most popular in the world. The racing event is inseparable from the support of every racing enthusiast who desires speed and passion, as well as a good racing communication environment.”

“However, if we operate according to their plan, although we You can make a lot of quick money in a short period of time, but think about it, what will happen to our public opinion environment after a large influx of a group of star-chasers who don’t even know which gear to start driving? In the future, a driver will not be evaluated based on his skills and honors, but on his appearance and temperament. Whoever has more fans will have the right to speak. So what will the entire GPX become?”

"What's even more frightening is that this group of brainless star-chasers will soon destroy the popularity of GPX. When passers-by mention GPX in the future, the first thing they think of is the idol's show instead of the most valuable racing car in the world. Race! "

"Well said, I agree with the DRS representative's suggestion," said the Ferrari representative.

“Yes, GPX really shouldn’t be a show venue.” Mercedes representatives also expressed support.

"If even the three of you say this, then I have no reason to object." The representative of the Arctic Fox Team also said at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the GPX Organizing Committee proposes If the plan is implemented smoothly, then the first to benefit will be the three teams of DRS, Ferrari, and Mercedes, because the current popularity can be said to be concentrated on Lin De, Carlo, and Mihail. , but now, the largest possible beneficiaries have clearly expressed their opposition, which shows that this plan may indeed be as Fujiyoshi said. Although it can make money in the short term, it is full of hidden dangers.

However, apart from them, the representatives of several other teams are still thinking about it. Although what Fujiyoshi said is very reasonable, not everyone can have such a large sum of money without making money. Decisive.

However, a few minutes later, the phones of the representatives of each team present rang one after another. After receiving the call, almost everyone's expression changed. After they went out to answer the phone honestly, they came back. On the side of DRS, even the representatives of Ferrari, Mercedes, and Arctic Fox did the same. After going out to answer a phone call, they returned to the conference room with lingering fears. They looked at Fujiyoshi with grateful eyes and became more determined. Supporting Fujiyoshi's opinion.

Fujiyoshi had already expected this situation and looked at the members of the GPX organizing committee with a scrutinizing look.

Lin Ye told him yesterday that after the existence of Zero Realm is officially confirmed by various countries, there will definitely be people at the national level behind each team. After the Zero Realm has been confirmed, The direction of human evolution may be hidden. Every driver who has the ability to drive a CF racing car and enter the Zero Realm will be a treasure for all mankind. But now some people want to make mankind's treasures their money-making tools. Is this because you think Iron Fist is not strong enough?

About ten minutes later, after everyone returned to the conference room, Fujiyoshi slowly said: "Then, let's vote on the plan proposed by the GPX Organizing Committee. Those who agree can raise their hands."

No one raised their hands, and the whole conference room could hear the drop of a needle.

"Then, let's put this plan on hold." Fujiyoshi stood up, his huge body looking very oppressive, and he stared at the spokesperson of the GPX organizing committee.

"Go back and tell the people behind you that if you want a piece of the pie, be honest. You are not irreplaceable."

After saying that, Fujiyoshi used the remote control to call his beloved After getting in the monkey car, I left the conference room without looking back.

When Fujiyoshi returned to DRS, the qualifying match was over.

The track in Guangzhou this time was rebuilt from the home stadium of the American team when WGP was held in China. The difficulty of the track is not too high and the length is short, so, in On this track, in qualifying based on single-lap speed, the more explosive car has the advantage.

Therefore, in this qualifying session, Lin Bo went against the norm of having a bad qualifying session and took the pole position.

“I’m back.” After seeing Fujiyoshi coming back, Lin Tie said hello, “Is everything going well?”

“It’s not bad, it’s pretty much what you expected. "Tengji said, "What about your side?"

"I am first, Xiaohao is sixth," Lin De said, "On this track, the improvement of the propeller is too big. , Teams that use thrusters as a means of explosion have done very well in this qualifying match. "Really, that's pretty good." Fujiyoshi nodded, and then collapsed in the rest area prepared for him. On the sofa, "This guy knows how to hold a class, I'm so exhausted!"

"Hey, I said you should move a little bit." He and Xiao Hao didn't even say anything while they were driving the racing car. The truck was already picking up and dropping off cars, and they were exhausted from a meeting.

"My exercise level today has exceeded the limit!" Fujiyoshi tore open a bag of potato chips without hesitation and poured it into his mouth. While eating, he asked: "This matter has not been completely resolved yet. Although we have prevented the invasion of the rice circle guided by capital, it is not so easy to solve the group of people who are spontaneously attracted by the faces of you and Karogan Mihail. In this regard, we have nothing to do with established brands such as Ferrari and Mercedes. The team is incomparable. They have a mature club culture. These scattered fans of good looks can be easily guided and absorbed. We don’t have this background.”

“I have asked Xiaoman about this. Go ahead and do it, we don’t recognize the legitimacy of all fan groups except the DRS discussion forum on the racing forum, but it’s basically impossible for those fans who don’t even understand how to drive a manual transmission car to complete the answer to join the discussion forum. , if that group of people can’t get together for a long time, they will find it boring and disperse by themselves.” Lin Tie said.

“Forget it, let’s not mention these bad things, the game itself is more important.” Fujiyoshi waved his hand and said, “This track is only 4 kilometers in total. In terms of single lap speed, , your car will have an advantage, but in a 100-lap race, repeated acceleration in so many corners puts too much pressure on the tires. You still have to rely on stable acceleration over long distances. If you want to win this race, and win To return to the top of the standings, Xiaohao is the key.”

Although Fujiyoshi can’t drive now, he still has it in his eyes since he was a child, and he revealed the key to this game in one fell swoop.

"That's true," Lin De nodded, "Xiao Hao has not stopped meditating during this period, and he should be close to entering the Zero Realm stably."

"You just have to know what you are doing. "Okay, it's time to order." Fujiyoshi said, "There are so many delicious food in Guangzhou. It's a pity that I have to leave after the game tomorrow."

Lin Ye saw this buddy. In a posture, two rows of black lines appeared above the head.

……

The next day, the main race started as usual.

"Welcome to Five Star Sports. This is the fifth station of the first GPX and the main race of Guangzhou Station. We will bring you live commentary of this game." In the studio of Five Star Sports, Li Bing entered work as usual. status, the two commentators around him also introduced themselves.

“We can see that the warm-up has already begun. In yesterday’s qualifying session, DRS driver Lin De took the first pole position in his career.” Li Bing said.

"I guess Lin, who is the pole holder, didn't expect it himself. He was still running in the first round during qualifying yesterday." Fei Ge said with a smile at this time.

“Yes, I feel like he took fifth place in the first round even though he was running close. After realizing that the track in this race seemed to be very easy to get the pole position, the next two It’s only after the wheel that you exert your strength,” Brother Ran added.

“This short track is really an advantage in the qualifying format for cars that use the most explosive thrusters to accelerate.” Li Bing said.

"We can see the condition of the track. Compared with the tracks in Suzhou Station and Xiamen Station in the first two games, the track in Guangzhou Station is much shorter in terms of length and difficulty. The entire track is four kilometers long and has 9 laps. The curves and difficulty are also very average. The completion rate of this race should be much higher than that of the previous two games. The completion rate of the first two games was only about 50%. The Suzhou race is because of the track itself. Difficulty, and Xiamen Station is due to the weather.”

“But if you want to win on such a track, it will test the driver’s basic skills. Who can be stable when the difficulty is not high? Who can win the final championship?" Li Bing said.

“There is also good news for everyone before the game. The McLaren team confirmed that Muller has fully recovered and has now begun rehabilitation training. If everything goes well, the next race in Xiangjiang will be held. Everyone can see his figure returning to the GPX arena.”

“This is really exciting news. After Muller returns, the riders who can currently enter the zero field. With just one more person, I think the game will be even more exciting," Fei Ge said.

However, several commentators may be a little too optimistic on this issue. At this moment, in the training base of McLaren headquarters.

Muller, who slept for more than a month under the influence of sedatives and waited until his body fully recovered before waking up, already had a shadow of the Zero Realm.

Even though he had performed physical exercises under the guidance of AI and barely reached the passing mark calculated by AI, when he saw the door again during training, Muller no longer dared to reach out. Opened this door.

The feeling of uncontrollable physical collapse, coupled with the experience of being forced to sleep for a few minutes every day in the Huaxia Institute of Biotechnology, has left an indelible shadow on this child. , he now only has a deep fear of the Zero Realm, and the McLaren team staff have no good solution for this.

Soon, the warm-up was over, and all the cars began to wait at the starting point for the official start of the race.

After all the lights came on, Taichi Dragon was the first to rush out of the starting point, and behind it, two Auroras, and the McLaren team's No. 1 car followed closely behind.

On the short track of this game, in qualifying, the teams that used thrusters as a means of explosion all achieved a good ranking. Except for Lin Shu, who won the pole position, the two cars of the Arctic Fox team were respectively After winning second and third place, McLaren's original second driver, who succeeded Muller as the first driver, also relied on the explosion of hydrogen engines to win the fourth place, while the fifth place was installed by The Red Bull No. 1 driver received the newly developed propeller.
