"It is reported that some Middle Eastern investors are interested in acquiring the Honda team..."
On the Internet, all kinds of news about the acquisition of the Honda team have sprung up.
Zhang Guan leaned on the sand, quietly looked at a racing magazine, and in front of him, there was a pile of racing magazines like hills, these are racing magazines published in recent years, also Zhang Guan's "homework" in the next few days, he must fully understand the industry dynamics of Formula One in recent years as soon as possible.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry!" Zhuge Wenbo pointed to an up-to-date sports newspaper and said, "There are so many companies that have to buy the Honda team. It looks like we have many competitors." You need to pay attention to it, don’t be preempted by other companies, and don’t forget that you are still carrying a 500 million dollar gambling contract!"
"It's all under the guise!" Zhang Guan put down the magazine in his hand, and then said: "Ross Brown has told me that Honda has deliberately created this kind of news in order to sell the fleet, the purpose is to attract real acquisitions. These acquisition news are all fake news released by Honda. For example, Carlos Slim, a Mexican telecommunications giant, originally went to the UK to investigate other projects. After daily public relations, the company promised to go along. Let’s take a look at the Honda team’s headquarters."
"That Bernie is also a guise? Bernie is the president of F1. He has personally confirmed that the Virgin Group is going to acquire the Honda team." Zhuge Wenbo asked.
"Bernie is really a guise! This financial crisis has affected many teams. If Honda withdraws again, there will be only 9 teams left next season, and even 2o parking spaces will not be available. So Bernie also hopes to have investors to acquire the Honda team as soon as possible, so he also cooperates with the Honda team to sing the reed. So there is Ross Brown, we don’t have to worry, I believe Ross Brown is unwilling to continue to work as a wage earner, even if there are other If someone wants to sell the Honda team, he will also destroy it. No one in the world will think that the Honda team's ceo Ross Brown wants to be the team owner! Moreover, the price of the Honda team is not cheap at all." Zhang Guan continued Said.
"Well?" Zhuge Wenbo questioned.
Zhang Guan explained slowly: "Honda’s price for the Honda team is $1, but in terms of price, it is no different from the free delivery, but if you buy the Honda team at this price, you must bear Honda. The team’s high debt of 170 million US dollars means that the buyer actually needs to spend 170 million US dollars to buy the Honda team. With the current economic situation and the level of the Honda team last season, they are not worth so much."
"So how much are you going to spend?" Zhuge Wenbo asked.
"I have discussed with Ross Brown, we will not bear the debt of the Honda team. The money they owe will let Honda pay it. We only need the team. I estimate that the final cost will definitely be $100 million. Within, and my personal investment must have been over 5 million dollars." Zhang Guan replied.
"Well, this price is completely acceptable." Zhuge Wenbo nodded.
At the current value of Zhang Guan, two or three advertising endorsements can earn US$50 million, so Zhuge Wenbo did not dispute this price.
"Don’t forget that this is just the price of buying the team. Formula One is a bottomless hole. I estimate that at least $50 million must be prepared for future team operations and racing research." Zhang Guan looked with a smile. With Zhuge Wenbo, he continued: "So Wenbo brother, the team sponsor is yours. Let's wait until we actually buy the Honda team, but you will be busy!"
"Okay, I will help you to contact those big sponsors at that time." Zhuge Wenbo got up and said, "Well, it won't affect your homework, let's go first."
Only Zhang Guan was left in the room. He looked at the pile of car magazines like a hill, but he couldn't help thinking of another thing in his mind.
"Schumacher and Senna's experience book, who should I choose?"
When you mention Formula One cars, people will automatically recall two names, Michael Schumacher and Elton Senna.
Which Schumacher and Senna are the strongest drivers? This is a question that all fans have been arguing about. Some people think that Senna is stronger, and some people think that Schumacher is stronger. This problem, even if there are countless professional Or non-professionals analyze from all angles, but there is still no so-called correct answer.
Schumacher and Senna are the greatest drivers in the world and are legends in Formula One. There are also two people’s experience books in the Zhang Guan system, and Zhang Guan is hesitant to choose who local.
In terms of driving technology, we cannot say that Schumacher is stronger than Senna, or that Senna is better than Schumacher. This judgment is unfair to two people. After all, each driver has a different driving style. Whether it is Schumacher or Senna, they choose the driving style they are best at.
In terms of record, Schumacher must be better than Senna. Schumacher has won seven world championships, and Senna has won three world championships, but this is also not a standard for comparing the strength of the two. IndoMTL.com~ Because motor sports are always on display, different times, different cars, different opponents, different rules will cause the final result to change.
The rules of Formula One racing are constantly changing every year. The rules of the model, the rules of the tires, the rules of the motives, etc., any slight change in any rule will affect the driver’s performance. Racing cars and Formula 1 cars in 2ooo years are two different things. Even for two consecutive years, there will be great changes in the car. A driver’s driving style and driving style may adapt to this year’s car, but next year, his driving style and driving style will be completely unable to adapt to the new rules.
"Adapt to the new rules!" These words appeared in Zhang Guan's mind, and it was these words that made Zhang Guan determined.
"After all, Senna was a driver in the 1990s. His driving style of that era may not be able to adapt to the competition of this era. Instead, Schumacher has always been at the forefront of motorsport. After Schumacher, the world champion Both Hamilton and Vettel have learned some of Schumacher’s driving style, which also shows that at least for now, Schumacher’s driving can still adapt to the times. And if Senna’s words, if he is brought to this era, maybe he will The performance is stronger, but it may not be able to adapt to the current game."
Zhang Guan shook his head. He thought of the $500 million bet between him and Omi, which is equal to his overwhelming net worth plus the income of the next few years, so he can’t lose, he must choose A safest method. Compared with Senna, Schumacher's experience book is definitely the safest choice for Zhang Guan.
"Let’s choose Schumacher’s experience book! Uncle Shumi, don’t let me down!" (To be continued.)
