Li Fanyu's willfulness is no secret in the group.

But for his off guard, many people in the group, well... it should be said that most people are still not used to it.

According to the plan of the Operations Department, laying out the European market is a very compact plan. Because since a year ago, the group has already made efforts in the European market through the British layout. Including the later Russian market layout, there has been such a big stir, which is just to complete a "plitting plan" by Li Fanyu.

It can be said that since this point, the group has used a lot of manpower, material energy to fill this big pit in the European market. Now, Li Fanyu, the initiator of this plan, who had been emphasizing urgency before, suddenly put forward the idea of ​​"wanting to go to F1 to have fun".

This makes many people unable to accept it.

"Mr. Li, I think the most important thing at the moment is to seize the time to establish our production lines in the UK or in favorable geopolitical countries in Europe. As for the publicity part, it is secondary."

"I agree with Mr. Wang's opinion. If we do F1, we will need to occupy a large amount of our R&D resources. Our current R&D center has dozens of projects underway, and the resource allocation is very difficult. If we enter the European market, we will inevitably carry out standardized EU research and development for our existing brand models. If we distribute R&D resources, it is very likely that the dilemma of picking up sesame seeds will fall."

"Mr. Li, if you want to get involved in F1 to promote the genius, then I don't think it's necessary. The capital required to form a team in F1 is too great. With that money, we can use other marketing methods to make up for it, and maybe we will achieve better results."

"Yes, I remember reading a report about the cost of the F1 team. The above mentioned F1 racing car that can be participated in the price is around 980,000 euros. This price is just to assemble a racing car that can be started. If an F1 racing car worth about 980,000 euros is allowed to run for a year, there will be a lot of accessories. The total cost of participating in the whole year is as high as 8.84 million US dollars!

Moreover, these figures are the basic expenses of F1 racing. If you add scientific research expenses, design expenses, wind tunnel experiment expenses, and public and private test drive fees, at least 8.84 million will be at least doubled.

Just this, the statistics do not include vehicle damage. It is said that every F1 accident will consume up to one million euros.

Not to mention the costs in these competitions, according to the FIA ​​regulations, teams participating in the F1 competition will have to pay a deposit of 36.8 million euros...

Calculate it, if we Zhengxin participate in F1, the initial investment may be as high as more than 50 million euros, equivalent to more than 400 million yuan. Mr. Li, what's wrong with us if we have this money?"

"Ahem, as a F1 fan, I will correct it. If we enter F1, what we want is not to play soy sauce but to strive for the championship, we also need good drivers. The value of F1 drivers on the front line now is ok... and it will cost tens of millions of dollars a year. So, this is a sport of rich people. It's really too expensive. If Mr. Li just wants to be a simple and bounty, we can do it. But if we really want to get a ranking in F1, we still seem to be a little weaker with the current accumulation of events in our Zhengxin Group."

Listening to the sound of dissuasion in his ears, Li Fanyu smiled.

I just said that I want to play F1

Do you need to react so much?

and……

"Who told you that playing F1 requires money? The F1 fleet can make a profit if it is ready. Not to mention the share of Fom, just the sponsor, and it will be a big income if it is ready."

Li Fanyu spoke, it was obvious that he was involved in F1 because he was not a whim when he got hot, but really understood his mind.

"And, who told you that if you play F1, you have to form a team?"

These words made everyone lose their minds.

"Dr. Li, the army has formed a fleet, what are you doing?" Someone immediately asked in confusion.

Li Fanyu nodded and smiled, "The competition is almost halfway through. Do you think that based on my temper, I can wait until next season? Although I have this idea, even if I want to go out and burn money, I have to give me a chance, right?"

As soon as he said this, everyone didn't understand his thoughts even more.

Seeing everyone confused, Li Fanyu answered their confusion and said, "I started with an independent engine supplier first. As a power quotient, I intervened in F1!"

Ang Ang?

Ahh?

Hearing what he said, everyone was shocked.

"Power supplier? Mr. Li, are you teasing me?"

"No, it's just an engine supplier!" Li Fanyu laughed and answered firmly.

The reason why he decided like this was due to the recent situation of the F1 equation.

It is said that the world's martial arts skills are only fast but not broken. F1 is the arena that represents the highest speed in the world. Of course, its requirements are only fast and speed. With the development of technology, F1's requirements for racing are getting higher and higher. As the main part of racing, the engine technology in the F1 arena is becoming increasingly black.

Looking at the F1 arena in the past two years, the Mercedes-Benz team relied on its financial advantages to develop V6 turbo engines with nearly twice the funds of other teams, and eventually won the team championship.

His driver "Black Emperor" Hamilton also won the driver's championship in succession, and F1 officially moved from the "Vettel Dynasty" to the "Black Emperor" era.

However, the Red Bull team, another F1 powerhouse, had a desire to leave because they did not have their own engine. The Red Bull team's official complained more than once that the F1 mechanism is unfriendly or even unfair to non-manufactured teams. They even repeatedly stated that if F1 does not change the current rules, Red Bull will completely withdraw from the F1 arena.

In recent years, F1 has shown signs of falling due to various internal contradictions and the rise of emerging automotive events such as FE.

If Red Bull, the old team, withdraws, it will undoubtedly lead to a situation where Mercedes-Benz will dominate and completely lose the intensity and viewing of the competition.

F1 boss Bernie has been working hard to balance the competitiveness of each team in recent years and to retain the Red Bull Racing team.

As we all know, the strength of each F1 team is not the same.

There are factory teams like Mercedes-Benz, as well as non-factory teams like Red Bull, Indo-Zhu Power, and Williams.

This is actually an imbalance in itself.

If you don't talk about anything else, just talk about Mercedes-Benz.

Mercedes-Benz team has invested a lot of money in F1 in recent years, not only has it dug up 6 senior technical management personnel, but also spent nearly twice the amount of money to develop V6 turbine engines than other teams. Although these advantages have brought two championships to the team, the result of "the rich spending money" can't help but receive the audience's "666", which has more impacted the viewing of the event.

On the other hand, you should know that other small fleet engines are purchased from Mercedes-Benz, Renault, or Honda.

The team of the big factory used a downgraded engine to takeout and used a higher-level engine by themselves, which made the latter small team deeply dissatisfied.

It can be said that this current situation has greatly affected the ecology of the entire F1 event.

So in order to better balance the strength between factory teams and non-factory teams, F1 has launched the latest rules this season.

The most important one is to allow independent engine suppliers to enter F1 for all non-factory team equipment.

Li Fanyu just liked this!
