Chapter 545 Prevention is better than prevention
Ali. Vatanin made his own statement, but these were not enough, and then looked at the guys in the team, sure enough, although these guys didn't say anything, they all secretly clenched their fists, obviously resentful of Zhang Lan's somewhat disdainful attitude in his words - the game didn't start, and it was useless to say anything.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Lan secretly laughed: Very good, his little trick has worked, and the slight contempt for these guys will help them play at a better level. Well, foreigners do have relatively simple IQs, and such a simple method of agitation has long been criticized in China.
Among all the racers of the Alice "Snow Leopard" team, the most excited is Yuta. Klein Schmidt, the female general, recalling her experience in the past year, Klein Schmidt has mixed feelings in her heart, which can be described by the word "mixed feelings": from the beginning of her boyfriend who was sweet with her own feelings. Louis. Schleiser's relationship cracked, and the two finally broke up because of their different personalities and philosophies; to his own obsession with his dreams, from the hesitation of choosing between the Mitsubishi team and the Alice team; In the end, when I chose the team I am in now, the Alice "Snow Leopard" team that can give me fair treatment and surprise me, everything that has happened in the past six months is like a movie, constantly passing in front of my eyes. \\\
"Little boss," following Ali. After Vatanin, Yuta. Kleinschmidt stood up and looked at Zhang Lan with a solemn face, "I want you to guarantee that this competition will definitely win a trophy for the team!" ”
Others may not dare to say that. But Yuta. Kleinschmidt definitely qualifies, because in this year's edition, Juta. Köhenschmidt has won a race victory! And among all the racers of the Alice "Snow Leopard" team. She was the only one who had experience driving a car in the Dakar Rally, the others were either motorcyclists like Peter Hansel, or De. Rally drivers like Villier, who only play in the lower divisions, and even Luca. Alfang is such a half-way monk. Against this. When making a schedule before the race, team manager Ali . Vatanin will be Yuta. Kranschmidt was the team's No. 1 main driver.
Very good! Zhang Lan knows that among Europeans and Americans who are more obedient to the contract, it is easy not to make a promise to others in public, because the moment a promise is made, it is the moment when the contract is reached. \\/\As long as the contract is reached. In the concept of Europeans and Americans, then you must do what you say no matter what.
See Juta. Kleinschmidt made this statement, and then looked at the expressions of several other drivers, Zhang Lan can be sure that Juta. Kleinschmidt's attitude has undoubtedly indicated the attitude of all members of the team: this time, we must wait for the podium and take home a trophy, although the other drivers have not said anything - compared to Kleinschmidt. The remaining three riders are all newbies. Even Peter Hansel had never driven a car to the race – but judging by their expressions. Zhang Lan could still see the firmness on his face.
That's enough. Zhang Lan nodded secretly in her heart, it is good to be able to be on the podium. can't climb up, Zhang Lan is confident that there is Yuta. Kleinschmidt and Ali. The existence of the old fox Vatanin. This year's team isn't going to be much worse, so what can you expect too much from a first-year team?
To Yuta. More importantly, Klein Schmidt, with her proud personality, would never allow herself to outperform her former team owner and ex-boyfriend. Louis. Schleiser's team has a bad record, right?
It's just ironic that the assembly site of the Schleiser convoy is next to Alice's "Snow Leopard" convoy, and Zhang Lan finally saw Jean with his own eyes. Louis. Schleiser, a guy in his fifties who still refuses to accept old age.
Take a closer look at this legend of the Dakar Rally: this guy is not tall, slightly chubby, and has a head that looks like a cube.
Let. Louis. Schleiser, of course, knew that the team was the one who would be Juta. The team that Kleinschmidt poached, when he saw Zhang Lan, smiled at Zhang Lan and gave a thumbs up, and then slowly turned his thumb upside down and pointed to the ground: an absolutely insulting action.
For Schleiser's childish, almost provocative behavior, Zhang Lan shook his head speechlessly, and there was only one response: he raised two middle fingers at the same time!
Respect the old and love the young? Well, that's as it should be, but it's another thing if you're old and disrespectful.
It's a pity that in order to avoid accidents, no motorsports sports support drivers to fight with each other, and if such a situation occurs, they will be disqualified, otherwise Zhang Lan doesn't mind stepping forward to teach a lesson. Louis. Schleiser: It's been more than half a year, or according to the Chinese saying, your old man has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, why do you still like to fight so bravely?
How great would it be if the organizing committee could organize a boxing match before the competition? Zhang Lan said to Jean. Louis. Schleiser's back thought with regret in his heart.
But Xiao Chenxi and Jill who came with Zhang Lan gave Zhang Lan advice-Alice had something to do this time, so she didn't come-do you want to beat this guy up at night when no one was paying attention?
Zhang Lan was a little moved, but after thinking about it, forget it, it's really not interesting to beat this guy at this time, the beating has no effect except for making this guy's nose blue and his face swollen, and the guy who beat him hard broke his tendons and fractures, and it was also a trouble for the organizing committee to track down. It's better to beat him on the race track in a dignified manner, although with this old boy's temperament, he will definitely not be convinced when the time comes. \\\ think of Jean. Louis. Schleiser's influence in the organizing committee of the competition, Zhang Lan suddenly remembered, this guy is really a little unscrupulous in order to be able to win, but he knows that this guy has used his influence to interfere with the normal race results of other drivers:
Although this happened in the future, namely in 2001, the 2001 Dakar Rally was seen as Mitsubishi driver Hiroshi Masuoka and Jean, who had won the championship for two consecutive years. Louis. The confrontation between Schlesser, the whole event was very intense, at the beginning of the lead Hiroshi Masuoka , let. Louis. Schleiser followed closely behind Juta. Kreinschmidt was left behind the two of them. ,
With little time left before the end of the race, in the penultimate stage of the race to be exact, Jean. Louis. Schleiser used his enormous influence on the tournament committee to slander Hiroshi Zengoka and Yuta. Klein Schmidt, his two rivals, said they cut corners.
The result is Hiroshi Masuoka and Yuta. Kleinschmidt was sent off for some time, so that Schleiser, who had already been distanced, was close to Hiroshi Masuoka again, while Kleinschmidt was even more behind. Let. Louis Schlesser was quite proud of this. It's just that the next thing gets dramatic: in the final stage of the race, Juta . Kreinschmidt became the overall winner of the 2001 Dakar Rally
Whereas, let. Louis. Schlesser's bad history -- can this be considered a criminal record -- Zhang Lan felt that it was necessary to give the organizing committee a preventive shot: although this kind of thing can happen, it must not happen to his own team.
Alice (China) Special Brake Systems Co., Ltd. and Alice (USA) Group are both sponsors of the Dakar Rally, Alice (China) Special Brake Systems Co., Ltd. provided their own internationally renowned high-performance composite ceramic brake system to each team at the standard of supply price to Team F for this competition - this price is much lower than their individual purchase - Alice (USA) Group is more direct, directly throwing a check of $10 million. As a result, Alice (USA) Group became one of the largest sponsors of this year's Dakar Rally.
Also a sponsor of the Dakar Rally is the Belluchi Tire Company. Coincidentally, the tire manufacturing company owned by the Michelin Tire Company, which is famous for manufacturing tires for professional desert racing, has a very good cooperative relationship with the Alice Group like their parent company - do not forget that the Alice Automobile Group is a large automobile conglomerate with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of cars, of which the "Snow Leopard" off-road vehicle is one of the company's main models, and the number of tires used in it is not a small number.
"I feel that it is necessary to ask the organizing committee to make greater efforts to be fair and impartial in this year's competition," Jill said to Allen, director of the sports racing department of Bellows Tire Company, in the capacity of Alice's personal assistant at Alice's Snow Leopard team's residence. It's not good, it's bad, it's very much not in the interest of our sponsors. ”
"And such a thing?" Alan expressed surprise at Jill's words.
"It's true," Zhang Lan nodded, "And we also have a rough idea of which team it is, but now they haven't done anything, and we can't say anything, we can only remind the organizing committee of the event." ”
Hearing Zhang Lan say this, Alan nodded, frowned and began to think about whether what Jill said was really possible, but Alan had to admit that if such a thing really happened, it was indeed not in the interests of Bailuchi.
