Chapter 552 552. Reaching consensus

Back at the rental house, Xu Jia took a shower and went to sleep. Yesterday was not just a simple run, but he also decided on the future development direction. He really felt physically and mentally exhausted.

When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning outside. Today was the weekend off, so Xu Jia didn't have to go to the car wash shop to work, which was just the time to decide on the formation of the team.

He found Feng Bingman's business card from his pocket. Xu Jia took out his mobile phone and dialed the number on it. As a waiting sound of "beep, beep, beep" sounded, a very capable female voice came from inside, just like yesterday. The style shown by Feng Bingman is very different.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"I, Xu Jia, will tell you about setting up a team."

Hearing Xu Jia's voice, a lazy and playful answer came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Xiangbei, you really didn't disappoint me. You made your decision very quickly."

"What if my decision is to refuse?"

Xu Jia felt Feng Bingman's confidence, so he sold off the pass.

"My intuition is very accurate, and more importantly, I am the best partner you can find at the moment."

Just like Xu Jia's answer to the old drunkard before, Feng Bingman said the same thing now.

"You're right, I do intend to cooperate with you."

Without much small talk, Xu Jia went directly to the topic. He believed that Feng Bingman was just lazy on the surface, and his true personality should be very efficient and decisive.

"I can spend about 1.5 million here. The team members include a coach and two maintenance technicians. They are all retired from the top domestic rally teams. There is no problem in terms of strength."

"So I plan to invest 1.5 million in technical shares, and you will invest 3 million. How about a total of 6 million to build a team, with each holding 50% of the shares?"

Xu Jia expressed his thoughts in the shortest words, and at the same time, he also brought in the old drunkard and Brother Niu in advance, prompting Feng Bingman to increase investment.

Otherwise, according to his estimates, the funding gap is too big and cannot be saved no matter how much deduction is made.

As for the technical investment of 1 million, Xu Jia is actually very "conscientious". Based on his status and skills as an F test driver in his previous life, he can ask for at least million to million.

Of course, this happened in a previous life. Now it is impossible for Xu Jiazong to run up to Feng Bingman and say: "I'm sorry, actually I am an F1 driver. You can invest thousands of dollars in it first."

Even if Feng Bingman didn't think Xu Jia was crazy, he himself felt that there was something wrong with what he said.

"OK, no problem."

The expected bargaining situation did not appear. Feng Bingman on the other end of the phone readily agreed to invest three million.

To be honest, even Xu Jia was surprised by this process. You must know that technology investment is very mysterious. Even if Xu Jia feels that he is worth the price, there is no performance at this stage that can prove that he is worth the price.

"So refreshing, do you think my driving skills are worth 1.5 million?"

"No, I think Xu Lang is worth 1.5 million."

Feng Bingman on the other end of the phone said the old drunkard's name simply.

"It seems that your investigation is quite clear."

Xu Jia replied lightly. He had suspected that Feng Bingman must have done a background check on him before, but now he was sure.

"Of course, otherwise who would be willing to invest three million for a stranger?"

"And having said that, if I invest money without even understanding this, do you think it's appropriate for me to control half of the team's shares as a team owner or manager in the future?"

"Inappropriate." Feng Bingman said it very bluntly, but it was indeed in line with her IQ and identity.

If Feng Bingman was really a fool, Xu Jia would not choose to cooperate with her to form a team even if he was willing to invest three million in vain.

The reason is simple. Xu Jia's future expectations for his team are far beyond three million. If you cooperate with the incompetent Silly Baitian, you will have to count down the money for him when he is sold.

Because the team owner and manager not only have to manage internal affairs, but also need to conduct business negotiations with the outside world. For example, we can cooperate with parts manufacturers of various brands, communicate with event organizers, attract advertising sponsors and title sponsors, and even obtain technical support from automobile manufacturers in the future.

If you don't have enough ability to handle these things, you will always just work in a low-level small team, so Xu Jia needs a qualified manager. The stronger Feng Bingman's ability is, the more solid the foundation for cooperation will be.

"Xu Jia, it seems we have reached a consensus. Let's talk about your next plan."

Now that the investment issue is settled, it’s time to talk about the team formation plan.

"I will go to Guangdong Province with Uncle Xu to receive rally training and assemble a rally car there. If everything goes well, I will sign up for domestic rally events in one month and upgrade my racing license."

"A month later? Is that enough time?"

This time, Feng Bingman's somewhat surprised tone finally came from the other end of the phone. Xu Jia was going too fast.

"I think that's enough."

"Okay, I will transfer the money to your bank card and meet you after finishing the work here."

"no problem."

Xu Jia didn't say much, and the formation of Feng Bingman in the early stage couldn't help much, as long as the money was in place.

After hanging up the phone with Feng Bingman, Xu Jia dialed another number. This person was Qin Hao.

Other things in building a rally team can be taken slowly, but there is one thing that must be put on the agenda, and that is the navigator.

The rally driver and the navigator are two entities. Without the co-operator to practice, all training will become meaningless. Currently, Xu Jia couldn't find a suitable navigator candidate within his network. He could only follow Qin Hao's suggestion and give Li Wenfeng a try.

At least this guy had formed an underground team and had a foundation in racing. After several meetings, Xu Jia had a pretty good impression of Li Wenfeng, which was very important.

"Is it about the team that you're calling now?"

Before Xu Jia could speak, Qin Hao on the other end of the phone spoke first.

"Well, didn't you recommend Li Wenfeng before? I think you can give it a try."

"Have you thought about it so quickly?"

Qin Hao was a little surprised. Xu Jia said yesterday that he would consider it and made a decision today.

"You have no choice. Who told you not to pursue a career?"

Faced with Xu Jia's complaints, Qin Hao on the other end of the phone smiled, and then replied: "I will inform Li Wenfeng, and we will meet at the old place on Yanjiang Road later, and you can discuss it yourself."

"OK."

After agreeing on the time and place, Xu Jia hung up the phone, washed up and had breakfast, then drove the Mazda RX7 to Yanjiang Road, which was about to become a meeting place.

As soon as they drove onto Yanjiang Road, Xu Jia saw the GTR and RS4 parked on the roadside from a distance. It seemed that Qin Hao and Li Wenfeng were very fast and were already waiting for him here.
