How did I become an F1 driver?

"Then I used your identity to borrow 700 million RMB from Pirelli."

Qin Miao raised his eyebrows: "Pirelli also has loan services? And why use my identity to borrow money? I just won a game at that time, and Pirelli was willing to lend me money? 700 million? That's more than 100 million US dollars."

After hearing Qin Miao's question, Qiu Meng looked at Qin Miao for a while, then sighed helplessly: "Don't worry about it. In short, my funds came from these two channels, and I caught the last train of miHoYo before it took off."

Qin Miao scratched his head: "Okay, so that means our family has actually been financially independent for a long time?"

“Yes.” Qiu Meng said with a smile: “From the day the original god was released, we have been financially independent.”

Qin Miao sucked his teeth and said, "If you don't care about the above, why did you give me the shares?"

Qiu Meng shrugged: "Actually, I don't want to be so troublesome, but they themselves want me to transfer the shares to you. As for the use, you are the world champion now. Your appeal and publicity are much stronger than that of a little-known woman like me."

Qin Miao has a clear understanding of the role of his fame in publicity. After all, in a society like China where success is the dominant theory, the value of being a two-time F1 world champion is still very high.

Qin Miao was somewhat puzzled: "More than 2 billion yuan, just given to me like this?"

Qiu Meng curled her lips and said, "I don't lack this much, and do you think it's difficult to earn 20 billion with your current business value?"

Qin Miao raised his eyebrows: "Is it easy?"

Qiu Meng thought about it and said, "It seems that it is indeed not easy. You almost have to live the same life as the old man, with all kinds of endorsement advertisements and commercial activities. It is impossible for you to have a little time to go home to see the children like you do now."

"It may not matter to a normal driver with a strong sense of professionalism, but for a lazy guy like you, it is really difficult to earn these 2 billion."

Qin Miao Husky pointed at people: "Comrade Qiu Meng, I advise you to be more respectful. The person in front of you is the 2021 and 2022 F1 world champion, the youngest double champion in history... Hey, girl, don't bite!"

"Hahahaha!"

Seeing Qin Muchu grab Qin Miao's hand and put it in his mouth and take a bite, Qiu Meng couldn't help laughing.

Qin Miao helplessly shook the saliva out of Xiao Muchu's mouth.

Then he looked down at Xiao Muchu's gums.
The little white tooth on the upper jaw wasn't shifted or anything.

"Let's go, take a shower quickly, you look so dusty~" Qiu Meng took out a pack of tissues from her pocket and handed it to Qin Miao.

……

The day after Qin Miao returned to China, there was a stir in the domestic gaming circle, because everyone found out that the F1 world champion Qin Miao had become a shareholder of miHoYo.

In the past, when many game fans saw that the name of MiHoYo’s smallest shareholder was Qiu Meng, they actually thought that this person might be Qin Miao’s wife.

After all, Qin Miao’s wife has this name.

But basically everyone thought it was just a coincidence of names, and no one had the time to verify the truth of this matter.

But with this round of equity changes, everyone was surprised to find out.

Holy shit, it’s true!

Qin Miao quickly felt the changes after the equity change.

It was impossible for Qin Miao to lie down all day after returning home. He had to find something to do, so Qin Miao started a live broadcast at home playing "i Racing".

Normally at this time, the audience in Qin Miao’s live broadcast room would be Qin Miao’s car fans, or followers of the time.

But after that incident, when Qin Miao was broadcasting live this time, a lot of second-dimensional people came to his live broadcast room.

Of course, they didn't go crazy or do anything abstract in Qin Miao's live broadcast room, but made a wish in Qin Miao's live broadcast room:
[Can Qin Miao help miHoYo strengthen Keqing? 】

[Qin Miao, can you call Brother Dawei and ask him to give Noelle a few more sets of clothes? ]

[Can you give out more raw stones during the anniversary celebration? It would be best if we could do it like the railways]

……

Looking at these comments that were obviously sent by Genshin Impact players, not only Qin Miao, but even the audience in Qin Miao's live broadcast room were speechless for a moment.

But they couldn't say anything. After all, they didn't do anything else. They just made a wish in Qin Miao's live broadcast room.

Qin Miao originally didn't intend to care, but as more and more people started to post comments, Qin Miao couldn't even see other people's comments.

With Qin Miao's long experience in live streaming, it would be very easy to slow down this trend. He just needs to take a break from live streaming for two days.

Although there may still be people brushing at that time, there will definitely not be as many as today.

Anyway, for Qin Miao now, live streaming is just a way for fans to interact with him, and he can't make much money from it.

But it was break time after all, and Qin Miao was a little curious. He was now a shareholder of miHoYo, so would it be helpful if he called them?

At this moment, Qin Miao's humorous nature was exposed.

Qin Miao took off his headphones after seeing the stunned looks from the audience in the live broadcast room, and then shouted towards the door: "Wife, do you have Dawei's phone number?"

Qiu Meng was playing PS5 in the living room at home at this time. After hearing Qin Miao's question, she didn't come up but just asked downstairs: "Which Dawei brother?"

"It's the miHoYo boss."

"Oh, yes, do you want it?"

"Send it to me."

"Wait till I finish this level!"

"it is good!"

……

【? ? ? ? 】

[No, A-Jen, are you serious? ]

[Fuck! Are you really going to make a phone call?]

[Is this the execution ability of a world champion? I’m a fan of you]

[Is Qin Miao trying to create some kind of show effect? ​​]

……

However, it turned out that Qin Miao was not joking.

After Qiu Meng gave Qin Miao Dawei's phone number, Qin Miao called him using his private phone.

Soon the call was connected and Dawei's voice came from the other end.

But this was a semi-private call after all, so Qin Miao didn't turn on the speakerphone and even turned off the camera.

It would be really troublesome if the other party's phone number was leaked.

Moreover, if Qin Miao openly showed the scene of the phone call, some viewers might suspect that Qin Miao was doing it for show effect to amuse the audience in the live broadcast room.

But now that Qin Miao was like this, everyone's originally somewhat amused attitude suddenly became uneasy. "Hello? Who are you?" Dawei on the other end of the phone was a little confused. This kind of strange call usually appears on his work phone, not on his personal phone.

And to be honest, there are not many people who know my phone number. They are either relatives or shareholders of the company. There is no reason for these people to disclose their phone number.

Soon, the person on the other end of the phone answered Dawei's doubts.

"Hello, Brother Dawei, I'm Qin Miao."

Qin Miao's voice is still very recognizable. In addition, after Brother Dawei knew that Qiu Meng was Qin Miao's wife, he also paid attention to Qin Miao's competitions to some extent. When watching F1 competitions, it is natural to watch post-match interviews after the competition, so he is naturally familiar with Qin Miao's voice.

"Ah? It's really you, Qin Miao!" Even though he knew that Qiu Meng was Qin Miao's wife, and it was Brother Dawei who proposed to Qiu Meng to give the shares to Qin Miao so that Qin Miao could do free publicity for miHoYo, Brother Dawei was still very surprised when Qin Miao really called.

"Excuse me for disturbing you."

"Oh, no, no, you are welcome to call me anytime."

Qin Miao turned his head and took a look at the barrage in his live broadcast room.

There is no useful information in the barrage now, just question marks.

It can be seen that the audience in Qin Miao’s live broadcast room felt the same as Brother Dawei at this time.

After the greetings, Qin Miao got to the point of his visit to Brother Dawei: "It's like this, Brother Dawei, I'm live streaming now, and a lot of gamers have appeared in the live streaming room. Everyone is making crazy wishes for me, such as wanting me to communicate with you about how to strengthen Keqing..."

【Godfather! 】

[From now on, you, Qin Miao, will have the permanent right to be exempted from criticism from our Keqing fans! 】

[What a joke! Qin Miao already has the permanent right to be exempted from criticism from F1 fans]

[Is this true? ! ! ]

Is this the power of shareholders?

[It’s Chinese New Year! It’s Chinese New Year for Keqing fans! 】

[Qin Miao's words may not work, are you guys so excited? ]

[Putting aside Qin Miao's status as a shareholder, isn't it enough for the youngest F1 world champion in the world to make a small request? 】

……

Although Qin Miao did not speak too directly when communicating with Brother Dawei, Qin Miao's meaning was very clear.

And putting aside Qin Miao's identity as a world champion, Qin Miao is a shareholder, although only the smallest shareholder of miHoYo, but the opinions are also raised by shareholders, so Brother Dawei naturally has to consider them carefully.

"Well, I can only help you explain this requirement, but I don't know if it can be changed. This requirement is the responsibility of the numerical planner."

“Of course, I’m just asking for the fans in my live broadcast room. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work.” Qin Miao didn’t care.

"I'll try my best to ask. By the way, Qin Miao, would you mind giving me one of your signed helmets?" Just when Qin Miao thought the conversation was about to end, Brother Dawei suddenly said.

Qin Miao was stunned for a while, then said: "That's not a problem, but I'm in China now, and I don't have a helmet at home. If you really want it, you may have to wait for a while.

If you want it now, I only have a Mercedes cap at home. If you want it, I will sign it and send one to you. This thing will be out of print next year.

As for the helmet, I will sign for one and send it back to you after I return to the UK, but this may take some time."

"I'm fine with anything." Although Dawei said this, his tone was full of expectation when he answered: "By the way, Qin Miao, you are in China now? Do you have time to visit miHoYo?"

The corners of Qin Miao's mouth twitched. When he talked about Mihoyo with Qiu Meng yesterday, Qiu Meng said that Dawei and others were going to transfer the shares to him. Qin Miao didn't believe it and thought that Qiu Meng was just making up an excuse.

But judging from Dawei's current performance, Qiu Meng seems to be telling the truth. He is really a little too concerned.

"I'm sorry, Dawei, I really don't have time. Next week is the competition week. I don't have much time to go out. I still need to train and so on. How about this, let's make an appointment after the 23rd season is over?"

"Okay, okay, when you have time, just call me directly."

"Okay, sorry to bother you." Qin Miao said with a smile.

"Don't bother me, don't bother me. I'm so happy that the world champion called me. As for the issue of strengthening Keqing, I'll call the numerical department now."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Qin Miao hung up the phone.

After turning the camera back on, Qin Miao spread his hands and said, "Stop spamming. I've helped as much as I can, but I'm just a small shareholder. I can't guarantee whether they will change."

At this time, the barrage in Qin Miao's live broadcast room underwent a huge change.

It is filled with the same words [I have been wandering for half my life, and I only regret that I have never met a wise master. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to be your adoptive father].

Qin Miao shook his head helplessly. Compared to himself, the audience in the live broadcast room were more like people for fun.

I continued to play another game on "i racing".

……

Monday, October 10, noon.

Qin Miao walked down the plane's gangway and turned around to take Xiao Mu Qiu handed over by Qiu Meng.

Qin Miao was in Austin at this time.

Every US Grand Prix is ​​a huge feast.

It is undeniable that the United States is a superpower after all. Although this country has many beautiful landscapes, there are still many rich people in this country.

So basically every US Grand Prix, everyone inside and outside the F1 paddock can get a very considerable income for them.

And many people will return to this game, including Ricardo Toto, and they will all appear on the field again.

At the same time, this game is also a sprint race.

However, the sprint race in this race is much gentler on the drivers and teams than in Qatar.

After all, no matter what, the Circuit of the Americas is an old track, and the drivers of each team are very familiar with it. Although the track used this year has been repaved with asphalt to reduce bumps on the track, there will definitely be changes in the mechanical grip of the car.

But these differences can basically be understood through a practice session and a sprint race, and will not affect the drivers' performance on the track during the race.

Careful people have noticed the difference. Qin Miao, who normally arrives at the paddock on Tuesday or Wednesday, arrived in the United States today, Monday.

The reason why we came so early is because today is the 26th birthday of Qin Miao’s eldest son Leclerc.

Originally, Leclerc was planning to celebrate his birthday in Monaco. After all, it is half of Leclerc and Qin Miao’s home ground.

But thinking about the US Grand Prix coming up soon, and if Qin Miao, who is in China, wants to go to Monaco and then return to the United States, he would waste too much time on the road.

So Leclerc scheduled his birthday party in Austin, USA on Monday.

This is also the reason why Qin Miao brought his daughter to the United States today. (End of this chapter)
