Chapter 108: Winning the Championship!

Coming out of his booth, it is rare to have a moment of leisure, Chen Geng took advantage of the trend, and planned to go to other booths to see, in the United States in the best era, what is their current level of car modification?

Turning down, Chen Geng is very disappointed in the car modification industry in the United States, is quite disappointed, the entire automobile modification industry in the United States, completely stay in the technical level of "insufficient power, displacement to make up", from the various modification companies, and even the booth of the well-known modification companies in the United States, what can be seen is a variety of engine power modification parts and kits, all kinds of mechanical superchargers, almost 7 percent of the modifications are around the engine, for the gearbox and chassis modification parts are very few.

But also, in the United States in the 70s, the most glorious era of the American automobile industry, V8 and various full-size models constitute the glory of American cars, as for racing cars, Americans' favorite thing is to circle around a vacant lot, compared to RC and F1, which are too far behind the overall level of high-level school racing, even if it is the most watched Indian 500 event in the United States, in Chen Geng's opinion

Chen Gengzhi, who was watching, shook his head: "What kind of thing, it's basically 'the king of the straight road, the bend is dead'." ”

Miren, who was following behind Chen Geng, didn't quite understand what Chen Geng meant: "Huh?"

"It's nothing," Chen Geng waved his hand, and he was extremely disappointed when he turned around, and said with a lack of interest: "It's not interesting...... What are those people doing over there?"

"Over there," Mirren glanced at, "it should be a betting spot set up by the bookmaker." ”

Chen Geng was interested: "Let's go, go over and see what our odds are." ”

"Boss, why don't you go over......" Mirren stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Have you seen it in the past?" Is our odds very low?"

"Well," seeing that his boss didn't mean to be annoyed, Mirren gritted his teeth: "1:9.5 odds." ”

"How much?" Chen Geng thought he had misheard.

β€œ1:9.5......”

"It's gone!"

To Mirren's surprise, instead of being angry, Chen Geng laughed, what kind of results can that Corvette C3 achieve, Chen Geng is really not too sure, but X-bo......?

"The bookmaker is a good person, knowing that we are short of money during this time, so this is sending us money...... Statham, I'm okay with my own vote, right?" he asked, turning to Statham.

"Of course there is no problem," said Statham, who followed Chen Geng silently and fulfilled the accusation of his bodyguards: "According to the provisions of American law, athletes cannot vote for themselves to lose, but they can vote for themselves to win." ”

"Then it's no problem," Chen Geng nodded with satisfaction: "The odds of 1:9.5...... I'll invest 200,000. ”

The reason why he didn't bet more was that he was worried that the bookmaker would adjust the odds.

Mirren: "......"

She looked at her boss speechlessly, thinking that the boss was simply crazy, what do those bookmakers rely on to eat? rely on a pair of vicious eyes, the odds of 1:9.5 have never appeared in the Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix, the reason why these bookmakers dare to give such high odds is because they are confident that the boss cannot win.

"Boss, would you like to invest less?" Mirren suggested out of kindness, "Why don't you invest $10,000?"

Chen Geng shook his head with a smile: "For me, I can afford to lose this $200,000, but if I win, I will pay $1.9 million, even if the tax is removed, a plane will come out, why don't I do it?"

He looked at Statham and Mirren with a smile: "The opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of you, do you two want to bet on your boss and me to win?" Well, if I don't have any money, I can lend it to you, and if I lose, it's mine, and I win half of one person?"

Statham was really, he immediately nodded: "Then I'll invest $1,000." ”

Mirren hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "That...... I also invested $1000. ”

"Look at your timid appearance!" Chen Geng glanced at the two of them with disdain, but this was their own choice, and Chen Geng was not reluctant.

........................

"Now the leader is the No. 13 car, our lovely Devilclaw! I'm sure everyone was so impressed with the logo, it's unbelievable, he was at the front from the start......

Audience friends, I must solemnly introduce one thing to you, according to the information, the driver of the No. 13 car has never participated in any professional car race before, and no one expected that the No. 13 driver would rush to the front from the beginning......

Now it is the Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix homemade car group competition, before the start of the race, the bookmaker's odds on the No. 13 car once reached 1:10.2, which is the highest odds for the Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix, I heard that the No. 13 driver bet $200,000, the bookmaker lost a lot this time......"

The narrator's voice was full of passion, full of schadenfreude over the bookmaker's misfortune: the odds of 9.5 at 1:9.5, the $200,000 bet, and the No. 13 driver was about to cut a piece of meat from the bookmaker, which was really gratifying......

Accompanied by the commentator's passionate commentary, the people of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. were crazy with joy, and their greatest wish was that Fernandez could enter the top three, but at the moment, it seems that Fernandez has a great possibility of winning the championship! For Honda, which regards the U.S. market as a strategic fulcrum for the future, if Fernandez can win the championship of the Detroit Modified Car Grand Prix, the effect will be much better than spending $1 million to advertise for Honda Motor Co., Ltd. to help develop the U.S. market!

Only the people at Harrah's Entertainment were unhappy, watching the little potato-like race car of Fernandez on TV, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.

Mirren had long forgotten how hesitant he had been when he placed the bet before, waving his fist frantically at the TV, and his face had already shouted: "Boss, come on, come on, don't follow those fools!"

When Chen Geng's No. 13 car crossed the finish line at a gallop, the booth of Fernandez Company, which had been staring at the live TV screen, was instantly boiling, and the employees raised their arms and shouted excitedly: Although Mr. Fernandez led all the way after the halfway point of the race, but in such a fierce and masterful race, no one dared to guarantee that Mr. Fernandez would win until the end, but now, the car driven by the boss was the first to cross the finish line, and the boss won the race!

Mirren suddenly screamed: "I knew that the boss's driving skills were so powerful, I should have paid for it myself." ”

He thought that the $1,000 he invested was still paid by Chen Geng, and according to the agreement in advance, he lost it, and he would share half of the profits......

........................

Before he arrived at his company's booth, Chen Geng saw Takuji Yamada, the head of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. in North America, walking up quickly with a face that was almost smiling: "Chen Jun, congratulations." ”

"You're welcome," Chen Geng was also very happy to see Takuji Yamada, and he asked honestly and unceremoniously: "Mr. Yamada, the agreement we reached before can be fulfilled, right?"

Yamada Zhuoji didn't expect Chen Geng to be so direct, he was stunned for a moment, but then nodded: "Of course, we have an agreement, and the authorization of the engine has been officially activated the moment you win the championship, and as for the sponsorship, I guarantee that it will be paid within three days." Mr. FernΓ‘ndez, about that X-bo ...... of yours"

"Mr. Yamada," Chen Geng interrupted Takuji Yamada, pointed to his employees behind him, and said with a smile, "Now is not the time to talk about these things, I need to have a good celebration with my employees, so ......"

Yamada Takuji was a little regretful, he originally planned to talk to Chen Geng about the X-bo, but Chen Geng's reason was very strong, now that he won the championship, he needed to celebrate with his employees, Yamada Takuji didn't say anything, so he had to nod: "Of course, then we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

Nodding apologetically to Takuji Yamada, Chen Geng loudly announced to the employees who greeted him: "Gentlemen, in order to celebrate our championship, we will have a big dinner tonight!"

"Hooray!"

"Long live the boss!"

Hearing that they could have a big meal in the evening, everyone immediately cheered, and taking advantage of this effort, Chen Geng asked Rosemary in a low voice: "When that little devil from Yamada told me about X-bo just now, you made eye contact with me, ......?"

Just when Takuji Yamada mentioned X-bo, Chen Geng saw Rosemary glaring at him, and he knew in his heart that Rosemary must have something to say to him about X-bo.

Rosemary whispered, "Boss, there's something I think you need to know: there's a lot of interest in our X-bo right now. ”

"Do they have a strong desire to buy?"

"Yes. ”

This result was somewhat unexpected by Chen Geng, he thought about it, and then asked, "How many people?"

"Many, at least thirty or fifty people. "I've observed that more than half of them have a strong desire to buy," Rosemary said. ”

"That's right...... What do you mean?"

"I mean you can consider going into production, and that's all there are people asking now, and a lot of people even say that if we put this car into production, they can pay part of the deposit right now. Now the news of X-Bo winning the championship has not yet fermented, and after a few days of this news has completely fermented, I estimate that the number of people who come to ask if they can order X-Bo will be dozens or hundreds of times the current one.

And isn't our production license already approved, anyway, we need to produce 'beasts' next, so we don't care about one more car, I heard that you made a lot of money from the bookmaker? Just used to buy GM's obsolete production line in Mexico, with the money given to us by the bookmaker, our overall cost has not increased much. And most importantly......"

Rosemary whispered, "Honda is also playing with our X-Bo idea." ”
