Chapter 211 Press Conference

Zhang Lan's little calculation is good, and holding a press conference, especially when a little-known brake manufacturer from China can cooperate with the world's top car manufacturer like Ferrari, is bound to cause a huge sensation. The huge changes in the performance of the Ferrari before and after the car naturally can't escape the eyes of other teams, in contrast, these guys who have become fine will naturally know what is going on with a little analysis, and it can be regarded as a free advertisement for their own products in the group that can afford to buy such products.

"The first one is fine, I think I can promise you now, but the second," David was a little embarrassed, "I need to ask for advice." ”

"Go ahead." Zhang Lan smiled with a harmless expression, not afraid that Ferrari would not agree.

Zhang Lan's suggestion is not much different from the previous one on the surface, and Ferrari does not participate in other events, so naturally there is no need to worry about affecting Ferrari's results; Alice Group is engaged in the automotive industry? David wasn't sure what that year would have happened. As for press conferences, that's even more normal, and when didn't Scuderia Ferrari's partner unit hold a grand press conference? Cooperation is a thing that can only succeed if both sides can benefit, if it is only a one-sided benefit, the other party suffers, who is willing to cooperate with you?

"Our team agreed," David returned after a while, "but the team hopes that the cooperation agreement between the two parties can be signed as soon as possible to ensure that our team can use your products on time for the next race." ”

"No problem," Zhang Lan smiled and beckoned to Jill with a smile, and Jill took out a document from his bag and handed it to Zhang Lan, Zhang Lan took it and handed it to David, "We have already drawn up the contract, you go back and study it, if there is no problem, we can sign the contract in two days." ”

"So fast?!" David was dumbfounded.

"Of course," Zhang Lan smiled proudly, "It's all in the nineties." How can you make money if you don't have a fast speed? ”

On June 12, the third day of the end of the Silverstone round of the F1 race, many teams received an invitation before they had even left the UK, and the content of the invitation was very strange. They were invited to attend the press conference on the signing of the sponsorship contract between the Alice Group and Scuderia Ferrari at the JW Marriott Hotel in Lord London on Friday of June!

What does the Alice Group's partnership with Scuderia Ferrari matter us? Many people scoffed at this and threw the invitation into the trash; Naturally, there are also people who link the unusual rebound of Scuderia Ferrari to this press conference, so go ahead and check it out. Let's see what the hell is going on, no one is missing that day anyway.

Also receiving invitations were the offices of the world's major media outlets in the UK.

Compared with the sluggish response of the teams, the reaction of the news media is much faster and more sensitive, and the background of the Alice Group is known to be very mysterious, because his boss has warned his employees more than once not to report negative news about the Alice Group, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to themselves, even if the manuscript is written, the company will not agree to send it; If there's positive news for Alice, add fuel to the hype!

What do journalists rely on for food? Naturally, it is a fast brain and a dog's sensitive sense of smell. In the boss's words, the meaning is already obvious, if these guys don't know what they should do, they should be completely rebuilt. Since he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, he had no choice but to send the sycophants of the Alice Group. For these sycophants, Alice Group will naturally not be stingy with their own support, and the dollar is the way to do a good job, so in the past few years, the relationship between Alice Group and reporters from major news media has been very good! Well, to put it in one sentence, it's that everyone takes what they need. Play their proper role.

This time I received an invitation from Alice Group, and the major media immediately took action, this is a big event, Alice, a high-tech company, actually cooperates with the F1 team? Is it purely funding, or is there something else? This is a question that is of interest to all.

All the veterans of the major media are doing the same two things: while rushing to report to the head office. While starting to prepare for the questions at the press conference.

On Friday, June 15th, at 9 a.m., the weather was fine.

The press room at the JW Marriott Hotel in Lord London was already packed, with reporters from all walks of life probing each other to get a little bit of the latest news from their peers. Unfortunately, everyone was disappointed that no one knew the details of the collaboration between the Alice Group and the Scuderia Ferrari. In previous interviews with Scuderia Ferrari, the Scuderia Ferrari was also tight-lipped and did not say anything about the matter, saying only that the Scuderia Ferrari did sign a sponsorship contract with the Alice Group, and other details will be announced at the press conference.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the press conference began on time, Alice and the manager of the Scuderia Ferrari were on the podium, and after the symbolic signing of the contract between the two parties, the press conference officially began.

After the beautiful Miss Jill briefly introduced the cooperation between the Alice Group and the Scuderia Ferrari, everyone, including the media reporters, including the guys sent by the various teams who came to see the excitement, were all shocked by the news of Jill's announcement: how is it possible? The braking system of the Scuderia Ferrari car was actually supplied by the Chinese branch of the Alice Group?

Everyone is starting to wonder if today is April Fool's Day, where Scuderia Ferrari and Alice Group have teamed up to fool everyone? When will China be able to have such advanced technology in terms of automobiles? How can you support an F1 team in the form of an in-kind sponsorship? You know, F1 cars have the highest requirements for brakes, and being able to provide brakes for F1 cars means that the company's braking level has represented the top level in the world, but if this is the case, why have you never heard of this brake manufacturing company before?

After a brief silence, reporters from all walks of life, who reacted instantly, scrambled to raise their hands and ask questions.

"May I ask the beautiful Miss Jill," the first to be selected was a reporter from the Associated Press, Besti, who also has an excellent relationship with the Alice Group, and it is also a tradition of the Alice Group to take care of old friends, "Can you tell us more about the situation of your company's Chinese branch about this braking system?" As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at all the reporters present, and smiled, "I believe this is also the issue that everyone present is most concerned about." ”

Sure enough, hearing Besty's question, the old men from all walks of life nodded desperately, almost breaking their necks.

"OK," Jill smiled and nodded, "and that's what I'm going to introduce to you below." ”

"To be precise, this new composite ceramic brake system is jointly developed by our American Alice Group and China's partners Alice (China) Motorcycle Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s subsidiaries and China's most authoritative ceramic research institutions," just this long list of names almost confused, "It took two years to finally develop, we can proudly say that our brakes represent the highest level of today's brake technology." Due to the special high-temperature resistance of ceramic materials, this brake has the biggest feature that distinguishes it from traditional types of brakes, that is, the thermal attenuation effect of our brake is extremely low, and the car does not have to consider the cooling problem of the car after braking. You can talk to two Scuderia Ferrari drivers for this, because they already used our products in last week's race, and the results of Scuderia Ferrari are the best proof of how they performed. ”

Jill's words finally made several F1 team representatives who came to the press conference suddenly realize: in fact, they were also puzzled by the performance of Ferrari cars: at the beginning, Ferrari cars did not show anything different, but in the later stages of the race, after the brakes of the teams showed a serious thermal decay effect, the brakes of the Ferrari cars still seemed to have just been used. Finally, the answer was obtained, and it turned out that Ferrari cars had adopted these new brakes!

In just a split second, all the questions went to the two Ferrari drivers.

"May I ask Mr. Alessi," said the reporter of Corriere della Sera, Italy's most widely circulated newspaper, who seized the opportunity, "is it as Miss Gil says?" ”

"That's true," Alessi, who had already been instructed by the team, nodded, and tried his best to say good things for Alice Group, "In the last game, we did use the brake system provided by Alice Group, and I believe you have seen that it is indeed a good brake product that I have used." ”

"Excuse me," a malicious voice sounded, "I am a reporter from Japan's Asahi Shimbun, will there be any quality problems or safety hazards for your team to use this kind of brake products from backward China?" Or is it against the rules of the International Automobile Association? As far as I know, the International Automobile Association has not yet allowed the use of this product, right?
