Almighty Athlete Chapter 222: Internal rape

Honda has made a lot of efforts to sell the Honda team, but as time went by, investors who had a scandal with the Honda team have not made follow-up progress, and many people have realized that The previous acquisition news was nothing but smoke bombs from Honda. Burning Document Library

It’s cheap to buy a f1 team for $1, but the debt of $170 million behind the Honda team is enough to deter any buyer. What's more, this round of economic crisis has spread all over the world. The economic situation next year will definitely become worse. Investing in an F1 team at this time is obviously not a good choice for many investors, not to mention one. Carrying a debt team.

With the coming of the New Year, the International Automobile Federation has also announced a new reform plan for the Formula One race. In order to deal with the economic crisis, the International Automobile Federation has proposed a conservation reform plan. The most important point is to ban the mid-season Test. This is good news for the small team. The small team has less funds. It is impossible to engage in a lot of mid-season tests like the big team. The big team has no objection. The financial crisis has made their life difficult, so Saving can save.

However, the Honda team still has no hope of selling. Until January 19, the first public test of the new season began, the Honda team still did not find a buyer.

Honda team employees are confused about the future. If they can’t find a buyer after two months, they will face unemployment, and in the current economic environment, they want to find a suitable Work is not an easy task. After all, there are only a few teams in the racing line. Each team has a fixed team. Without the addition of a new team, no one needs new employees.

Ross Brown is still very calm. In the past month, he has devoted his energy to the design of the new car, especially the double-layer diffuser. As the killer of Ros Brown, it has been designed and formed, and he will wait until the new car engine. When you arrive, you can assemble it on the car for testing.

The Zhang Guan spent a Chinese New Year more comfortably. Other activities in the Chinese New Year pushed away all the activities, staying at home honestly, staying with their parents and enjoying this short-lived tranquility.

The Tian Association, the Tennis Association and the Basketball Association all sent people to discuss the new year’s game plan with Zhang Guan. Given the current status of Zhang Guan in the domestic sports industry, these regulatory agencies are obviously unlikely to force Zhang Guan to participate in the competition, so of course the future competition plan must be discussed with Zhang Guan, and Zhang Guan also won enough honors in the Olympic Games, even if it is said To rest for some time, these regulatory agencies will also give permission.

The Spring Festival is a rare break for Zhang Guan, and at the same time, Ross Brown finally revealed his fangs. He personally flew to Japan to discuss the acquisition of the Honda team with Honda’s President Fukui.

......

Honda Corporation, Tokyo, Japan.

Honda Fukui, President of the Honda Company, gritted his teeth, because just now, he received a quotation about the acquisition of the Honda team. His anger was not because the quotation was too low, but because the quotation was actually made. It's ceo Ross Brown of Honda team!

In Rose Brown’s view, the Honda team is almost over. He has come forward to buy the team at this time to avoid losing so many employees of the team, so he can be regarded as the savior of the team and will inevitably be agreed by everyone. Praise.

In the eyes of Fukui, Ross Brown did it all. He was also an employee of the company. When the team encountered a crisis, he not only did not want to find ways to help the team through the difficulties, but wanted to take the opportunity to eat his own. Boss, this is definitely an unethical behavior that has been rejected.

This is the difference in corporate culture. Westerners don’t have a one-size-fits-all concept. It is normal for workers to change jobs. As long as there are sufficient interests, the former employees have no problem with the boss’s industry. The Japanese corporate culture is a one-off process. A person entering a company is like entering a family. As long as the company does not close down, it will stay there for life. If the company encounters difficulties, employees will even be resourceful. Salary cuts to help companies overcome difficulties. The same kind of thing is placed in European and American countries. If companies dare to reduce their salaries, it is estimated that a wave of collective strikes will come soon.

It is this cultural difference that made Fukui violently jump, but Rose Brown put on the appearance of a savior, which made a negotiation between the two unhappy.

However, Fukui couldn’t find any other buyers for a while. If this season starts, the Honda team may become worthless, so Fukui can only continue to talk to Ross Brown.

"We built a wind tunnel test system specifically for the team. Our wind tunnel is equipped with metal raceways. Four years ago, the same wind tunnel built by the Sauber team in Switzerland cost more than $45 million. For now, it will cost more than US$60 million to build this wind tunnel test system!" said Fukui.

Ross Brown smiled slightly. He once stayed by the wind tunnel system for several weeks. He knew the wind tunnel much better than Fukui.

Only Rose Brown said: "60 million dollars is the price of a new wind tunnel, and last year, Minardi bought a second-hand wind tunnel for only 3 million dollars, plus 2 million dollars. The conversion fee, 5 million US dollars can achieve the same effect! And IMHO, the motor of the wind tunnel test system of the Honda team has exceeded the maintenance period, so even if it is bought, it will cost a lot of money for maintenance and replacement Some parts."

"Our engine output test system is the world's top, and the 3D measurement and control can test every slight difference! Just developing this system, our Honda company spent more than 100 million US dollars! That is Ferrari, We can't make an advanced system like ours," said Fukui.

"But this test system is only useful for manufacturer teams." Ross Brown waved his hand, and then said: "If it is a Ferrari or Renault manufacturer team, you may be interested in this system because they are also cars. Engine manufacturers, they need this kind of test, and after I acquired the team, the team became an independent team. We do not have the ability to produce engines ourselves. We only need a few sets of data from the engine supplier, so This system is meaningless to us!"

Ross Brown’s words came to a halt, and then said, “But IMHO, your system is probably not so easy to sell. There are only four manufacturers’ teams left in the current Formula One~IndoMTL.com~ Is it Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Toyota, they should not be interested in Honda systems!"

"Our test track in the UK..."

"Bald tires will be re-enabled next year, and the area between the tires and the ground has increased by 17%, so that track needs to be rebuilt..."

"Our oil simulation test..."

"The kinetic energy recovery system was added to next year’s rules, and the existing oil simulation test has been scrapped, and development needs to be restarted..."

Wei Fukui and Ross Brown, you say, I said, every time Fukui said an advantage, it was immediately turned into a shortcoming by Ross Brown. In the end of an hour, even Fukui felt that the company spent a lot of money to build the Honda team , Seems to be really worthless.

This is perhaps the toughest negotiation that Fukui has encountered. There is a saying that the confidant and the other are invincible. However, as the team's CEO, Ross Brown clearly understands the team better than Fukui, which has kept Fukui at a clear disadvantage in the negotiations. What's more, Rose Brown is definitely the most insider in Formula One. A few words can't refute what Fukui said.

Compared with understanding, Fukui is no match for Rose Brown, more professional, and Fukui is no match for Rose Brown. The situation in this negotiation is already one-sided!

However, Fukui also knew that even if he came for another person, he would not have achieved better results than him, because it was Rose Brown.

"Internal traitor! This abominable traitor! Our Honda company has a Formula One team and the world's top sports. As a result, in this traitor, it has almost become a pile of worthless copper and iron!" Fukui wiped the sweat on his forehead and negotiated with an opponent who knew himself better than himself. It was really suffocating! (To be continued.)
