"Mr. Lei, let me reiterate that the McLaren team only looks at strength and commercial value. They are just incidental products." Lemmon added another sentence and said: "As long as he has strength, McLaren will let him have it. Corresponding commercial value.”

Lei Hao shrugged his shoulders and said, "In other words, the driver's contract doesn't matter. Anyway, everything only depends on strength."

"That's what I personally think, but I can't guarantee what other departments think." Lemmon said with an inexplicable smile: "Perhaps, if the strength is the same, the driver's commercial value will also be taken into consideration. .”

"This is one of the reasons why He Bin can join the great McLaren team." Lemon added.

People who were paying attention to the conversation smiled. In the field of F1 racing, China is a weakling. There are many reasons, such as nationality, driver ability, growth environment, etc., plus some confidentiality factors. In many cases, foreigners are not It is very possible to provide corresponding qualifications to Chinese riders.

A very important reason why He Bin can join the McLaren team is that he has almost settled in the UK since he was nine years old, and his hobby has the opportunity to become a career.

But what Lei Hao didn't know was that McLaren had repeatedly asked He Bin to change his nationality, but he had not received a satisfactory answer. If they were not forced to do so this time, they might have hidden each other for a while.

In Tao Qiyang's view, Lei Hao just sang along with Lemon and changed the subject away. He was a little disdainful and a little angry. What he was unhappy about was that Lei Hao had missed it. What he despised was that Lei Hao's way of changing the subject was too... stiff.

With these thoughts in mind, Tao Qiyang's words seemed to have changed a bit: "If you want the team to make concessions, Mr. Lei's words are quite easy."

"Haha, McLaren doesn't need to make any concessions for the drivers, our system is there." Lemon winked and said with a smile.

"Yes, everything is in accordance with the system," David helped Lei Hao from the side, looked at Tao Qiyang and said, "Everything is in accordance with the contract."

"In the final analysis, it's all about money." Tao Qiyang opened his mouth and sighed deliberately.

In the internal fight in front of outsiders, Lei Hao still stood on the side of powerful capital. He felt that he was quite a "treacherous character" and felt extremely awkward in his heart.

Looking at Lemon and David's expressions of taking it for granted, and looking at Tao Qiyang's eyes that said "you are not united", Lei Hao felt as if he had eaten a fly.

"I believe in He Bin's strength." Lei Hao said this.

"Yes, I also believe in He's strength." Lemon continued to wink.

David also said: "I believe that Lei's compatriots are capable."

"It's like I don't believe it, A Bin." Tao Qiyang said in a strange and sinister tone.

Lei Hao almost died from the awkwardness of this situation. David's overtures, Lemon's arrogance, Tao Qiyang's unreasonableness, and his own uncertainty. Several emotions were intertwined to create a weird atmosphere at the scene.

"I have an idea..." Lei Hao stared at Tao Qiyang. Gradually, the strong side of his personality burst out and asked, "How much is the liquidated damages?"

"More than 4.8 million, for Mr. Lei, it's just a drop in the bucket." Tao Qiyang concealed his pride and flattered Lei Hao while cursing the fool in his heart.

Lemon and David both looked surprised.

"OK." Lei Hao curled his lips, looked at the three people in front of him, and said decisively: "My idea is, I think He Bin can win the Shanghai Grand Prix. If he doesn't win the championship, I will ask him Domestic charities donate five million! If he wins the championship, how about Mr. Tao and Lemon jointly donate the same amount?"

"..." Tao Qiyang, David and Lemon were a little dull.

Win the championship? What kind of international joke are you kidding? With He Bin's strength, even if he has a perfect debut if he gets points, he still wants to win the championship? That's a joke.

Soon, these people misunderstood, thinking that Lei Hao was spending money to vent his anger.

Aren’t you using your greed for money to rob me? Aren’t you mocking me for not having enough “ideological awareness”? What now? I'm speechless!

Lei Hao's idea is relatively simple. He feels that even if this situation continues, the few people here will not use it to increase pressure on the drivers, so there will be no interference factors.

Since the car race has not been affected, it should be normal for He Bin to win the championship. Why not use this incident to deceive his opponents?

Moreover, Lei Hao was very dissatisfied with Tao Qiyang's insistence on clinging to the team's support even if he broke the contract.

The team's thigh must be embraced, but the interests of the parties concerned cannot be sacrificed. China has such a champion, and Tao Qiyang is simply embarrassed by doing these things.

After taking advantage of He Bin's "price limit", Lei Hao felt that it was still necessary to help him here.

"Mr. Lei, I applaud your philanthropic attitude." Lemmon joked, and agreed by the way: "This is my bet. If McLaren produces a Chinese champion driver, we will definitely give back to China."

Just kidding, if He Bin wins, McLaren will definitely hype it up and sell a few more supercars and make everything back.

Tao Qiyang also nodded directly. He is He Bin's agent. If He Bin wins the championship... the picture is so beautiful, but although there is a smile on his face, he is already cursing Lei Hao in his heart. Why donate to charity? , it would be better to donate it to him.

At 16 o'clock, qualifying ended. Amidst the roar of the car, Lei Hao looked at He Bin's seventh place result and felt that the eyes of several people around him were a little strange.

Rookie driver, seventh in qualifying, wants to win? Give me a break.

Even Qiu Yuting couldn't help laughing at Lei Hao's actions, but she didn't say anything.

Lei Hao made hundreds of millions of yuan in this debt crisis. The figure of several million is really nothing to him, and this money was probably obtained from Tao Qiyang.

"If I hadn't run out of time, I would have bought He Bin's management contract directly." Lei Hao knew what outsiders thought, but he was also curious about what kind of development this game would be.

The next day, Sunday, the race started at 14:00. On October 9th, the weather was beautiful, cloudy and breezy, and the atmosphere of the entire racing track was good.

In the past few years, due to factors such as publicity, F1 has faced a crisis of declining appeal in China and even around the world. This year's ticket sales were also mediocre, but when our compatriots were confirmed to compete, forget about buying tickets and climb the wall. Almost someone could do it.

Standing in the diamond area of ​​the main grandstand, Lei Hao was not far from the starting line. Standing next to him were David and Tao Qiyang. Lemon was not here because he could squeeze in time yesterday but was extremely busy today.

Feeling the fanatical atmosphere around him, Tao Qiyang's narration suddenly came to Lei Hao's ears.

"China does not have a perfect training environment for racing drivers. Mr. Lei, do you know how much it cost A Bin to become a racing driver?" Tao Qiyang said with a serious expression on his face: "Several million euros."

"From karting to GP2, and finally to F1, along the way, he endured suffering and...discrimination that outsiders could hardly imagine."

"Agreeing to McLaren's conditions is an inevitable result. If we want to participate in more races, we are not qualified to negotiate." Tao Qiyang continued, seeming to be looking for reasons for his concession. He indeed felt that he had done nothing wrong.

It is normal for an agent to be shameless for the sake of his employer's dream. So what if he is called a "traitor" after breaking a contract? Success is never that easy.

Lei Hao also felt that in all walks of life, no matter who you are, if you want to achieve something, you must give up, but he didn't think Tao Qiyang's approach was correct.

At the very least, we should wait and wait for He Bin's competition results to come out before negotiating.

"I have never lost any investment since my debut, and I don't think I will lose this time either." Lei Hao said calmly, with a confident smile on his face.

Soon, the Shanghai Station will start.
