The Red Bull Racing team is based in Milton Keynes, England, but has an office in Vienna.

Although Zhengxin’s Fetype engine is still being trial-produced, this does not prevent Li Fanyu and Cheng Ke from coming to the door for consultation and finding opportunities for cooperation for the engine.

On the way to the Red Bull office, Cheng Ke was a little confused.

Also as a team operator and manager, she actually doesn't have a good impression of the Red Bull team.

"Brother Fan, why do we go to the Red Bull Team first? I, Tetetete, don't like their style. In the past ten years, there has been no such thing as Red Bull's engines that have not been trashed. Even in 10, 11, 12 and 13, United won four consecutive championships. They are complaining that if Renault's engine is better, they will set more records. This is a team with no character. I feel that cooperating with them is not the best choice."

In his heart, Li Fanyu also said that he performed well if he won, but said that he lost, and said that he had a bad engine.

But now in business, judging from the current relationship between Red Bull and their engine suppliers, Red Bull is one of the most likely to accept new engine suppliers among the popular teams who have won the championship.

So he didn't have a good impression of Huaniu, but Li Fanyu decided to give it a try.

I have to say that Li Fanyu is lucky; when they arrived at the Red Bull office in Vienna, the team owner Matthiz was there too.

Matthiz has been very upset recently.

Among all F1 teams, Red Bull is the most unique one. The original intention of this team at the beginning was to establish a brand image around the world. However, as the cost of F1 participation increases, the team has to seek higher profits to maintain the team's operation.

Currently, the main sources of funding for the fleet are: on the one hand, Red Bull's annual allocation of about 100 million euros, and on the other hand, the F1 share of about 300 million euros per year. In addition, it is sponsors and the surrounding business of the fleet.

Red Bull's stop is very interesting. They will not make the sponsor of the racing body too small, but will do the opposite, expand the layout and charge sponsorship fees that exceed any other team.

With this, the team has about 200 million to 300 million yuan in revenue each year. However, this revenue is not fixed. It is collected based on the team's performance, that is, the amount of attention received.

Now, the team's poor performance has made many sponsors dissatisfied. In contrast, the sponsorship fee is greatly reduced.

On the other hand, since Renault formed the car factory team, he has become less concerned about power cooperation. This season, Renault itself uses the latest engine, and the previous generation is supplied to the Red Bull Racing team.

This kind of motivation gap has been proved by results on the field - at least Matthiz thinks so.

Matthiz was a little surprised when he heard that the true faith Li Fanyu was visiting in person.

"Zhengxin, is the new supplier of illness?"

After getting confirmation from the assistant, Matshitz hesitated for a long time before giving a reply.

"Okay, let them wait a while. After I arrange the things I have in hand, I can give them twenty minutes."

...

When he heard the meeting he was looking forward to was only a short twenty minutes, almost a kind of alms, Li Fanyu frowned tightly.

Cheng Ke's small faces were not good-looking anymore.

"Damn!" In front of the assistant who came to pass the message, the little girl turned her back and said, "What big-headed garlic is pretending to be? Do you really treat us as salesmen?!"

If it were her, she wouldn't feel anything, but the discomfort was that she was so angry that she saw Li Fanyu coming here in person and received such treatment.

In anger, Cheng Ke directly said to the assistant in German: "Please explain it to Mr. Matthiz. Now the person who is sitting here waiting is the chairman of Zhengxin Group, Mr. Li Fanyu, who is ranked first in the Hurun China Rich List and 16th in the Forbes World Rich List. Are we here to seek cooperation, not to promote the engine?"

Hearing these names, the assistant was startled. His attitude immediately became respectful and immediately expressed his support.

Seeing his assistant leaving quickly, Cheng Ke waved his fist, looking like a fox pretending to be a tiger.

But just as she was about to seek credit with Li Fanyu, Li Fanyu had already stood up from the sofa and walked out.

"Hey? Brother Fan, are you not waiting?"

Seeing this scene, Cheng Ke hurriedly asked.

Li Fanyu smiled slightly, "I won't wait. Judging from the other party's attitude, they may not want a real independent engine supplier."

"..." Looking at Li Fanyu's back, Cheng Ke muttered: "Wouldn't that be a waste of time? Hello! Brother Fan, then where are we going next??"

Li Fanyu, who was walking in front, didn't look back, "Go to the UK. I think there is a team that won't reject us. Although I'm not sure whether they will reach a dynamic cooperation with us, at least their needs are more real than Red Bull."

Just as Li Fanyu and Cheng Ke walked out of the Red Bull office, Matthiz and his assistant came in a hurry.

Seeing the empty reception room, the Red Bull Racing team boss was a little puzzled: "Where is the person?"

The assistant was even more confused, "They were still there just now."

Matthiz made a very exaggerated gesture: "It's inexplicable! Does this Li Fanyu think F1 is the Chinese automobile industry? What kind of airs do you play?"

The assistant shrugged helplessly and said to Matthiz: "Sir, I just received several appointments, and they are also several new independent engine suppliers. One car is Steyr, one is Cosworth, and the other is GP2..."

When Matshitz heard these appointments, he waved his hand in dismay.

"Turn them all. Bernie, the idiot, we clearly meant to let the four major engine suppliers of Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Ricefast and Europa League untie the technical restrictions and launch the same engine as their current racing cars. But Bernie introduced these messy independent engine suppliers. Can their engines help us win the championship on the field? It's a joke. Cosworth hasn't made F1 engines for many years, and GP2 is a big engine and there are no technical restrictions. But their own teams are constantly troublesome to use, and they still expect us to use them? Turn them off, push them off! I don't have that much time to delay."

The assistant looked at the upset boss and said yes with timidity.

But in my heart, I thought that my boss was too naive.
Chapter completed!
