"I need to think about it seriously," Lin Zheng's eyes were a little serious and serious, looking at Stoddat and said: "Compared with simple sponsorship, I hope to establish a deep cooperative relationship with Minardi, which is of a strategic partnership..."

"That's great!" Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Stoddate stood up excitedly: establishing in-depth cooperation with Lin Zheng in a strategic partnership? This is a great thing. Stoddate was excited to hold Lin Zheng and sing a song to conquer. ∷

What is a strategic partner in F1? For example, BMW and Williams teams, Ford and Stewart teams, these auto manufacturers and teams are independent of each other, but the relationship between the two companies wearing pairs is a strategic partnership.

Strategic partnership means that the two companies can be tied closer together. Minardi had thought about finding a strategic partner before, but helpless, famous manufacturers have long had their own partners. Those manufacturers with almost no strength directly looked down on Minardi. Since their establishment in 1979, Minardi has been tirelessly looking for strategic partners, but the reality is so sad that no one cares about them.

Although Lin Zheng cannot compare with those old car manufacturers with a history of dozens or hundreds of years, he can't stand this guy being rich! Of course, even if Lin Zheng is rich, his degree of wealth cannot be compared with an old giant like Ford. The net profit of a year is over 10 billion US dollars, but it doesn't matter. Stoddat's requirements for Minardi team are not that high. He only hopes that with Lin Zheng's financial support, the Minardi team's performance will not be so embarrassing. Don't compete with Terrell in the annual standings all year round for who gets more zero points... This is a pair of tragic brothers. The two teams compete for who gets more zero points in the annual standings all year round.

Lin Zheng understood why Stodat was so excited. But he had to say some things ahead.

"Mr. Stoddat, please finish your conversation. The strategic cooperation I mentioned is not just cooperation,"

"Invest in the shares?" Sure enough, when he heard Lin Zheng's condition, Stoddat was stunned.

"That's right, it's just a stake," Lin Zheng nodded: "If the cooperation can be successful, the Minardi team must help my company develop and test new technologies."

Stodat never expected that Lin Zheng would make such a request and invest? Damn it from a sponsor to one of the bosses of the team? He opened his mouth, and Stodat subconsciously prepared to refuse: "But..."

"Mr. Stoddart. I think you haven't made it clear what I mean yet. Now I just have this intention. It's not certain whether to invest. I need an expert to help me evaluate whether it's worth it."

"..." Stodat was stunned. He understood what Lin Zheng said: Stodat, don't be too busy refusing, don't be too happy too early. Brother, I'm not sure whether I want to invest. If the expert tells me that it is not cost-effective to invest in this proposal, it will be considered just a proposal.

Lin Zheng's words made Stoddat wake up instantly, and he finally realized a problem: in this matter, he actually has little say... Well, he has the right to decide whether to accept Lin Zheng's investment, but as long as Stoddat still has some ideas about the achievements of Minardi team, he should not reject Lin Zheng's kindness in any case.

That's right. It's good intentions.

"Okay," Stoddat nodded after thinking seriously for a moment. "I'm a little excited, it's a big deal. I need to think about it seriously, too."

"I can understand." Lin Zheng nodded: "But... let's say that, if the cooperation between us can be achieved, it will be a package of overall cooperation plans with long-term planning."

Stoddat blinked. He was very interested in what Lin Zheng said, "a package of overall cooperation plan with long-term planning" and was a little moved: "Mr. Lin, can you tell me your general idea? Oh, it should include the racing training institution you just mentioned similar to BMW?"

"This is just a part," Lin Zheng nodded. Since everyone is already a partner, Lin Zheng certainly wants his partner to show his strength: "Maybe you don't know that there is also the largest chain training driving school in the country under my company, and now it has opened more than 100 branches in our country..."

"God!" Before Lin Zheng finished speaking, Stoddat exclaimed.

He was really scared. He also had a driving school with more than 100 branches under his name? As a person in the automotive industry, Stoddat knew very well what this meant: even by European standards, it was a powerful chain with a total assets of no less than 100 million US dollars. I heard that their country has a population of more than 1 billion. According to this standard, perhaps the total amount of this asset would have to be increased by five or six times.

With a driving school, there is a foundation for training with those who like racing and want to establish a higher level of driving skills. This means that as long as you make good use of it, it will be a source of wealth. At this moment, Stodat's envy of Lin Zheng has broken through the sky: Why has such a good thing not fallen on me?!

It seems that this guy is very smart, but he is not smart enough to get involved in the F1 circle. Looking at Stoddat, whose rear grooves are exposed, Lin Zheng continued: "If it works, I will establish a training base with high standards that can conduct Formula Racing training at F3 and F3000 levels to provide professional drivers from all over the country with high standards of Formula Racing training... Of course, this is just an idea, and whether it is feasible in the end depends on what the experts say."

“…”

Stodat was shocked and didn't know what to say. A racing training base that can train Formula F3 and F3000 racers can of course train lower-level Formula Renault, Formula Formula and Formula Combas. In addition, various forms of field racing are no problem at all. This is equivalent to a one-stop training base that can train racers from preschool to graduate graduation... As for f1, well, that is already a high-end thing that only the "doctors" in the racing industry are qualified to play.

Do you want to? Of course!

Even thinking about the connections brought by this guy's more than 100 driving schools, Stoddat was so excited that his blood was boiling, but excitement was one thing, and the other problem was...

"I admit that I'm very excited and excited, but Mr. Lin, do you know how much it costs to build such a training base?"

"I really don't know this, but since we are just a training base and can undertake some domestic venue competitions and RV racing. The venue requirements are not as high as F1, and the circumference is about 2 kilometers. The total construction fund should not exceed 25 million US dollars."

Lin Zheng is telling the truth, but I vaguely remember that the first phase of the F1 racing stadium in Modu was more than 2 billion yuan. However, considering that this is a project organized by the state, the cost of the project has been increased by at least three or four times by countless people who worked on it. The land is near Modu Airport. So, if you consider it comprehensively, the land and site construction cost is actually 500 million to 700 million yuan.

This is still the requirement of the highest standard F1 racing stadium. I don’t expect my training base to host top international events of F1. This is not something I can afford, but it should be fine to host the National Automobile Field Championships (CCC). On weekdays, in addition to racing technology training, the racing stadium can also be opened to some rich and leisure racing enthusiasts to make some money and spend some money. There can be higher stores, car sales centers and other things around. Even if they cannot achieve independent profits, they should not lose much money.

As for whether you can make money by racing training, Minardi team has a few points every year, but at least they are still f1 people. There are only a few guys in the public sector who have obtained a super driver's license in the world. F1 drivers provide you with technical guidance. Lin Zheng really doesn't believe it: Even if you can't make much, you can't lose too much, right? Is the money you lose from this project? Can't I make money back from other places?

But Stoddat's eyes were glaring at the boss: "$25 million? Lin, are you kidding?"

Lin Zheng very well understood why Stodat had such an expression. US$25 million is indeed not a big number. Even if the Minardi team is poor, the number of sponsorship and broadcasting funds for a year will not be lower than that. Lin Zheng also has to explain to him: "The situation in our country is different from that in Europe. Our land, labor costs and construction costs are very cheap. There may actually be some differences, but it will not be too big."

"God..."

Stoddat stared at Lin Zheng's eyes for a long time, and finally confirmed that Lin Zheng was not joking with him with serious expressions, but he still couldn't believe that it only took $25 million to build a racing stadium that could hold lower-level Formula Competitions and RV Races: Damn it feels like he was joking.

………………………………………

Stoddat, who was shocked by Lin Zheng, left with great worries. Lin Zheng's idea gave him too much shock. A professional racing training base that can train from the lowest level kart to the f3000 Formula Racing drivers. This is a temptation and temptation that he cannot refuse in any case. He must go back and think about it carefully.

Stoddat left, but Lin Zheng's brows never stretched. He was just excited just now, but he was not sure whether he could play like this. But... can you ask the experts yourself, right? (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
