Zhang Guan handed over the preparation of the fund to He Yiming, and boarded the plane to the UK. He was going to handle some of the fleet's affairs and also to get a gift for Schumacher.

Schumacher invited Zhang Guan to ski. Of course, Zhang Guan could not go empty-handed. According to the etiquette, Zhang Guan needs to prepare a gift. The gift does not need to be expensive. It is more about expressing a heart. If it is something special, it will be better. Moreover, with Schumacher's economic conditions, he lacks nothing.

The gift Zhang Guan prepared for Schumacher was a helmet, not a racing helmet, but a ski helmet. Schumacher loves skiing. Schumacher goes skiing every winter, and giving him a ski helmet is a suitable gift.

Moreover, Zhang Guan even knew that Schumacher was finally planted on skis. At the end of 2013, Schumacher had an accident during a skiing. His head hit a rock and almost died. Afterwards, although he saved his life after rescue, he spent After hundreds of millions of euros in treatment and rehabilitation costs, Schumacher has completely bid farewell to sports, has not become a vegetative, and can spend a second half of his life in a wheelchair, even a relatively good ending.

Schumacher certainly wore a ski helmet when he had a ski accident, but the rocks on the Alps were enough to win. The ski helmet did not protect Schumacher’s head, so this time, Zhang Guan specially customized a ski for Schumacher. The helmet, and it is also customized according to the standards of the Formula One racing helmet, is definitely stronger than the average ski helmet.

The fatal injury of the car **** Senna was that the helmet was pierced by racing debris. Since then, the standard of the Formula 1 racing helmet has been greatly improved. Therefore, the helmet of Formula One is obviously the best sports helmet in the world. Not only is it lightweight, but also the polymer material makes the helmet extremely strong. The two layers of hard carbon fiber reinforced resin on the outer shell are enough to withstand the general impact; The penetrating polyethylene material may even have a chance to withstand the attack of armor-piercing projectiles. After all, the carbon fiber racing fragments are not inferior to ordinary bullets; the soft inner layer of the polypropylene material of the helmet can fully absorb the impact and protect the skull, It is also fireproof. Of course, the expensive construction cost of a helmet of more than US$100,000 is also worthy of the materials used.

Each driver’s racing helmet is specially customized, so the helmet manufacturing company has information on the shape of the driver’s head. Zhang Guan directly contacted the f1 helmet manufacturing company to customize a ski helmet according to Schumacher’s head shape. It also cost Zhang Guan 300,000 dollars.

Zhang Guan played the ski helmet in his hand with satisfaction, and at this time, footsteps came from outside, and Ross Brown came to the door. Although the door was not closed, he knocked on the door.

"How is your holiday?" Ross Brown walked in. "I heard you came back, and I hurried over immediately."

"It's busy. If you pay attention to China's portal, you can definitely know what I am doing there every day." Zhang Guan walked to the coffee machine and asked, "It's the same, black coffee?"

"Thank you." Rose Brown continued: "Actually I have something to find you. During your time back to China, I went to Stuttgart, Germany, and Dieter Zecher invited me to dinner. ."

"Dieter-Zecher..." Zhang Guan repeated the name again, only to realize that Ross Brown said that he was the chairman of Daimler AG and the president of Mercedes Automobile Group, Che Che.

Cai Che sounds like a Chinese, but he is a German from Turkey. Cai Che is his Chinese name, but not a Chinese transliteration name. It is as if the mountain in Canada should be called Roseville, and the American Ci Shiping should be called Meta Wald Pease.

Zhang Guan brought the coffee to Ross Brown and said: "Mercedes wants to buy our team?"

There was a look of surprise on Ross Brown's face, and he said, "How did you guess? I thought you would guess about the engine supply next season!"

Mercedes-Benz is the engine supplier of the Force China team. When Rose Brown meets Che Che, normal people will guess that it is for the supply of racing engines next season. No one will think that Mercedes-Benz will buy China Power.

But Zhang Guan knew that in the course of history, after Brown won the championship, it was acquired by Daimler Group, which is the parent company of Mercedes-Benz. So Zhang Guan guessed this as soon as he heard Cai Che's name.

Just listen to Ross Brown then said: "The Daimler Group hopes to acquire our team and enter the f1 race as their manufacturer team. At the same time, they also participated in the acquisition of the Abu Dhabi consortium, which means that they hope to join forces Acquisition."

"What about McLaren? Over the years, McLaren has been a Mercedes-Benz manufacturer team?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Daimler Group now holds approximately 40% of McLaren shares, saying that McLaren should repurchase shares from Daimler Group." Ross Brown said.

"So what do you think, should we sell the team?" Zhang Guan asked.

"I haven't decided yet. I want to hear your opinion before making a decision. If your big boss can still invest as much as last season, I don't mind playing for a few more years." Rose Brown continued: "But I It is more inclined to sell the shares in our own hands. When we bought Honda last year, it was actually not expensive, and now we have won the championship, and the team's revenue is very good, just can sell a high price. To be honest, I I can’t guarantee that we will have such a good result next year. Once our performance drops, the team is definitely not as valuable as it is now.”

Zhang Guan nodded with a smile. Although Ross Brown is the best automotive engineer in the world, he is still a businessman in his heart. Buying low and selling high to earn the difference is the nature of the businessman. He worked hard to run the team for the purpose of Sell ​​a good price.

"How much is Mercedes bidding?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"I don't know. I haven't reached the point of inquiry, but I don't think it will be less than 200 million pounds!" Ross Brown said.

"Two hundred million pounds? That's good. Our 80 million US dollar fleet can sell two hundred million pounds, which is equivalent to tripled. This investment is quite profitable." Zhang Guan then said: "Otherwise we Sell ​​the fleet?"

"Well?" Ross Brown looked at Zhang Guan with a puzzled look. He didn't know if Zhang Guan was kidding. After all, it was the F1 championship team and a big business of 200 million pounds. How can it be sold for sale? Zhang Guan decided this too soon.

Zhang Guan also sat down, and he said, "Actually, I will be very busy next year. I guess there is no time to continue to participate in the f1 competition. Next year, I will participate in two very important events, namely the men's basketball World Championship and The Asian Games, whether it is training time or race time, will overlap with the f1 race. Therefore, I will definitely not be able to see me on the racing track of the next season. Since it is a lack of avatar, then the team is still sold. Come on!" (To be continued.)
