Chapter 225: The Desolate Former WRC World Champion
"Please have a meal?" Unexpectedly, this guy made such a request. Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "No problem."
Well? The down-and-out man who fell to the ground was also stunned, "Are you serious?"
"There is a KFC not far ahead. It doesn't cost much to invite you to have a KFC... You don't think I'll treat you to a French meal, right?" Looking at this interesting guy, Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief: Since he still knew that he wanted something to eat, it means that he was beaten up badly, but he was beaten up.
Although I feel that I am a little troubled, since this guy is fine, I just leave by myself. It’s amazing to ask if this guy really doesn’t need to call the police or call an ambulance, but since there is no danger, Lin Zheng doesn’t care about doing good things to the end and sending them to the west.
After hearing what Lin Zheng said, this guy grinned and wanted to smile, but maybe he was beaten up by someone just now and said self-deprecatingly, "French feast? Ha... I'm very satisfied with having KFC to eat."
Seeing Lin Zheng and another guy walking out of the alley talking and laughing, it seemed that it was okay. Tan Na, who had been hiding under the tree, breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran out and asked Lin Zheng in a low voice, "How is it?"
"It's okay, I was beaten up and then refused to me and I had to treat him to a meal. Fortunately, it wasn't a French meal." Lin Zheng said while pointing at the KFC diagonally opposite, "That's it."
Just a KFC meal. Tan Na, who knew that in the United States, would not take it seriously if she spent $10 to have a meal at KFC, did not take it seriously. She nodded with a smile.
………………………………………
KFC's take-out family bucket. Lin Zheng can kill one and two original chickens alone. Although Tan Na has always been ridiculed as a real food bucket, Lin Zheng has always been proud of his appetite. If a young man in his 20s has a bad appetite, it will be a problem. But today, Lin Zheng feels that he has really met an opponent: After killing two take-out family buckets alone, he still looked at Lin Zheng with an unsatisfactory look on his face, obviously hoping that Lin Zheng will give him another one.
Lin Zheng, who was so impressed that he really didn't dare to give him another copy. He was afraid that this guy would not be beaten to death, but instead he was overwhelmed by himself. He waved his hand and said curiously, "How many days have you eaten?"
"Uh...two days..." This guy felt a little embarrassed.
"You dare to overeat so much after not eating for two days?" Lin Zheng felt like he was going crazy. "Don't you know that overeating so much is not good for the stomach?"
"It's better to have bad stomach than nothing in your stomach." The guy smiled self-deprecatingly, hesitated for a moment, and still stretched out his hand to Lin Zheng, "Good gentleman and lady. Thank you for your hospitality. Although I can't repay you, if you are willing to provide me with a job, I promise I will not let you down... By the way, let's introduce it formally. My name is Bijon Waldgard, who was once a WRC world champion."
That's what?Wrc World Champion?
Lin Zheng looked at the "tuft" of fat meat with a minimum of 200 kilograms. Just as he was about to speak, Tan Na asked him in a low voice. "What is wrc?"
"The World Automobile Rally Championship is one of the top automobile events in the world that are as famous as F1." Lin Zheng whispered. He knew a little about cars, but the names he remembered were mostly the names of more famous racers in later generations such as Colin McCree, Schumacher, and Senna. As for who is sacred than Jon Waldgard, I'm sorry, Lin Zheng has never heard of it.
"Sorry, I haven't heard of it. I don't know much about car racing," said Tan Na. Lin Zheng turned his head and looked at him, "But if you really won the WRC championship before, how could you be so down and out? You're only about 50 years old? Maybe you're in your 40s. It may be difficult to continue participating in WRC at this age, but even if you can't get into the management position in a certain team, you should have no problem participating in some rally races at your level, and your annual income will not be less than tens of millions of dollars."
"Or you can be a test driver for many automakers, a former WRC world champion is something any automaker is rushing to have, with hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in revenue and guaranteed;"
"No matter how good you understand the automobile, there is absolutely no problem in opening a car modification factory by yourself. With your understanding of automobile modification and your popularity, your business is absolutely booming. I dare not say that it can be comparable to those modification giants with direct cooperative relationships with manufacturers, but it is absolutely no problem to earn millions of dollars a year. I can't figure out how you can be so down-and-out."
After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he looked at the guy in front of him. Based on his feelings, he felt that 99% of this guy was lying: a person who could become a WRC world champion has no reason to be so down-and-out.
Tan Na also agreed with Lin Zheng's words and looked at Lin Zheng with a reproachful look: Look at what guy you have saved?
"I am indeed the WRC champion," said the guy who claimed to be Bijon Waldgard in front of me, and said, "The annual WRC champion of Ford in 1979, WRC champion of 15 years ago, you are right. Even if I have retired, no matter how I look at it, I should never live so badly. But reality is here. I have indeed achieved a very bad and failed..."
"That year was really wonderful. I drove my Ford Escrotrs across the European continent. Every time I went to a place, the beautiful girls cheered for me. They lined up and couldn't wait to climb onto my bed, just to be with me..."
"Isn't this guy a lunatic?" Looking at the man who had fallen into a state of madness, who claimed to be Bijon Waldgard, Tan Na subconsciously leaned against Lin Zheng. The guy in front of her made her feel a little scared, "Why are we so unlucky? We actually saved a lunatic."
Not only Tan Na, but also Lin Zheng felt that he was unlucky enough. What kind of luck did he have to save a lunatic? Lin Zheng didn't believe it at all when he said that he was a WRC world champion. What? You said that you would give him a try with the Ford car rented outside? You are crazy. It's a rented car. If it is damaged, it will be compensated. Lin Zheng didn't intend to hand over his life with his girlfriend's life to the hands of a lunatic.
Judging from Lin Zheng's experience in dealing with those guys with quirks, you must not deny their words at this time, but follow their words, even if you don't believe a word of what you say... To a certain extent, people with quirks are actually similar to those with psychopaths. He asked in a curious rather than mocking tone, "Well, Mr. Waldgard, since you are a former WRC world champion, how could you be knocked down in the alley? It seems that all the top athletes have good physical fitness."
Are racers considered athletes? It seems... should be considered?
"I... take drugs..." Bijon Waldgard had a little ashamed, "I spent a lot of money in the two years after retirement. My wife divorced me, and the court awarded most of my personal property to her and her children..."
OK, drug abuse...
This reason is really powerful and can't be more powerful. Lin Zheng smacked his lips and said nothing: Although drug abuse is actually very common abroad, many celebrities, models or wealthy people even often hold drug abuse parties. In some countries, this kind of addictive and harmful substance is more harmful to the body than that of hero. Although drug abuse is also a contraindicated product in the United States, it seems that it is not strictly controlled. Even many high school students can come into contact with it. It is naturally easier to touch these things when a celebrity racer who lives under the spotlight all day long.
In those years in Huaqiangbei, I saw many bosses who were infected with drugs and drugs. Lin Zheng knew deeply that this thing was not enough. Many bosses with billions of dollars thought they just taste something new. Even if they would become addicted to it once, they could not quit it with their strong self-control. Take a step back and say that even if they really couldn't quit, they could have money for their lifetime based on their own value. What's the fact? With this strong confidence, countless bosses lost all their belongings in five years without exception after getting involved with this thing.
This guy's wife is a smart man. She applied for divorce from the court the next year, which can make her and her children's future life better. Lin Zheng even believes that this guy has not died since 1979... Assuming he is really a former world champion of WRC... His wife will definitely make a contribution.
This kind of thing can always attract people's attention, and Tan Na is no exception. After hearing that this guy was taking drugs, hesitated for a while and asked, "Have you quit?"
"Quick it," Bijon Waldgard nodded with a wry smile, "I was sent to get a forced drug rehabilitation in my fourth year."
"Then why are you..."
"No team will admit a former addict as their driver, nor will any car manufacturer ask an addict as their test driver. They all know how easy this thing is to recur. As for opening a modification factory..." He spread his hands with a wry smile, "I have no money, no startup capital, and the bank will not lend me money."
Lin Zheng thought about it and it seemed that this was true. Bank of America had very strict borrowing conditions for those who had been forced to rehabilitate drugs because of drug abuse. Unless they could find a guarantor with strong enough financial strength, they would never lend them money, because it was natural that it was very simple. The bank could not determine whether these former addicts had enough ability to repay the money, and could not even guarantee whether their drug addiction recurred and whether the money was used to buy drugs.
