Shenhao started as a military training anchor

The serious mistake made by Mercedes' talented driver Russell basically ruined Mercedes' chance of winning the trophy in Shanghai.

If you don't get good results in qualifying and a good starting order in the race, it will be difficult to beat strong opponents such as Red Bull and Ferrari.

Coupled with the friction between Hamilton and the management, the Shanghai station of the new season became a symbol of Mercedes-Benz's fall into the abyss.

At this time, one can see the embarrassment on the face of Mercedes-Benz Group CEO Dieter Zetsche.

He no longer wanted to stay and watch the game.

During this trip to China, he, as the CEO, and the Mercedes brand lost face.

The third qualifying round had just begun and Dieter Zetsche was ready to leave.

As the host, Holly stepped forward to say farewell, "Mr. Cai, do you have work to do?"

Dieter Zetsche smiled awkwardly and nodded.

"I understand." Holly extended his hand and said, "As I said before, you are welcome to visit China more often. We welcome competition and encourage exchanges."

The same words, spoken for the third time, were a sure win for Dieter Zetsche.

The game between them came to an end, and there was no doubt that Holly won.

Cai Che politely shook hands with Holly and said, "Mr. Huo, I underestimated you."

Holly smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, there are many people who look down on me, not just you.

In the end, you are not the only opponent who was defeated by me.

I sincerely wish Mercedes-Benz to get better and better.

I am very picky about my opponents, and you are not bad.

Without rivals and competition, the automotive industry would be boring.”

Dieter Zetsche suddenly laughed.

The young man in front of me is very crazy.

But he is very gentlemanly and knows his limits.

Most importantly, he has the capital to be crazy.

Dieter Zetsche was convinced.

"President Bai Bei once told me that times have changed and it's time to bow our heads."

Dieter Zetsche used this sentence to summarize his current thoughts.

He also admitted that this was a major commercial failure for Mercedes-Benz.

"Mr. Huo, I wish you better and better."

After Dieter Zetsche finished speaking, he left quickly.

If he wasn't a rival, Holly would still admire the CEO.

Just too arrogant.

I hope that teaching him this lesson will help him wake up in time and accept the new energy and intelligent era.

Brother Huo likes to compete with these powerful CEOs from around the world.

……

In the weekend's race, the Red Bull team was unstoppable and Verstappen won the Shanghai Grand Prix for the first time.

Ferrari also had trophies to its name.

Holly's E-On Racing driver Lance Stroll took the points.

He was very satisfied.

As for Zhou Guanyu, he was playing at home and the audience's reaction spoke for itself.

What Holly values ​​is the commercial value of him as the only F1 racing driver in the country.

There are no strict requirements for performance. Just practice slowly and accumulate slowly.

However, Holly was pleased with the team's overall performance.

There were no low-level mistakes such as taking four or five seconds to change tires. From management to employees, everyone maintained a high level of competition.

Holly went to the team to meet with everyone and offer encouragement.

Team leaders Stoll and Zuo Yu, as well as chief engineer Newey, all expressed regret for not winning a trophy for Holly at home.

Holly smiled and patted several managers on the shoulders, "The Yi'an Racing Team has only been established for a year, and everyone from top to bottom is still in the running-in period. Today's result is very good.

If I win the trophy this year, I’ll be a little worried.

I don't want the Yi'an team to be a flash in the pan. We need time to improve.

The capabilities of management, the professional level of employees, the level of drivers, the research and development of racing cars... all need time to improve.

We will proceed at a steady pace, with the ultimate goal of becoming a strong F1 team."

Everyone nodded.

Newey and Stoll breathed a sigh of relief and were glad to have such a sober boss. Yi An needed to calm down.

"OK, be cheerful. Welcome everyone to China. You have been preparing for the competition this week and have not been able to experience the charm of China. Relax for two days. I will pay for all the expenses of the team members," Holly encouraged.

The employees applauded enthusiastically, and the joy on their faces was visible to the naked eye.

Holly finally patted his good brother Zuo Yu on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave the matter here to you."

Zuo Yu nodded and went to communicate with the management about the next work arrangements.

Tonight, Holly prepared a farewell dinner for the three presidents of Ferrari, McLaren and Bugatti.

After a few days, the intention of cooperation was basically confirmed.

Holly also entered the European market with the help of these high-performance sports car companies.

Bring China's most advanced new energy intelligent technology to the European market.

The European auto market will surely be in a bloodbath.

Holly's attitude is: no matter how strong the wind and waves are, he will just sit back and wait.

Yian serves as a technical service provider and will open its doors to anyone who wants to cooperate with it. As for how European car companies fight, Yian will just watch the fun.

Every penny earned is worth it.

The harder they fight, the faster China's new energy and intelligent technologies will penetrate.

The end result is that European car companies are left with only the shell, while the rest of the technology and auto parts are Chinese, or produced by Chinese companies with controlling stakes.

In the age of oil, this idea was a fantasy.

But in the era of smart trams, nothing is impossible.

Because China is so far ahead, E-Sun Auto is the leader.

Even the fourth and fifth rounds of sanctions will not help.

Holly's move of cutting off the source of the problem was very smooth.

After the social event, I said goodbye to the three presidents. I have already arranged a business jet for them to take them back home tomorrow.

When it comes to business reception, Brother Huo does a very decent job.

"Hol, my friend, I'm a little reluctant to leave you, but I believe we will meet soon," said Winkelmann, president of Bugatti and Lamborghini, hugging Holly.

"I've solved the power system problem for you. If you stand me up again, I will no longer consider you as my friend, Winkelmann," Holly joked.

"Huo, I promise you that you will own a Bugatti pure electric supercar with the highest level of craftsmanship in the world." Winkelmann said, "It will definitely be an epic masterpiece.

It is also the cornerstone of our cooperation.”

Holly smiled, shook hands with Ferrari's president, Bai Bei, and said goodbye, "Old buddy, get your 85 Sassicaia ready for me in Rome."

Bai Bei smiled and said something in Chinese: "Enough."

"Hahaha, you learned it very well," Holly laughed, and finally hugged the president of McLaren.

We got in the car and left the Bulgari Hotel.

Back to the old building.

Zhang Ruonan came over with hot milk and served Holly.

"I have a good news for you in secret," said Zhang Ruonan.

"Yes?" Holly guessed.

Zhang Ruonan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Just give birth if you're pregnant," Holly said.

"No." Zhang Ruonan said, "I received an invitation from Pharrell to attend the LV Shanghai Fashion Show."

"I thought it was a big deal." Holly put down his cup and said, "Is Pharrell in charge this year?"

"Well, President Bernard will also be here."

"Bernard and I talked on the phone, I know," Holly nodded.

Pharrell Williams is the design director of LV. His full name is Pharrell Williams. He is a top figure in the global fashion circle.

This year's LV fashion show in Shanghai was also the first time he personally organized it in Asia.

The fashion industry is looking forward to it.

Zhang Ruonan is now a big star. With the help of Holly in recent years, she has become both a hit product and a producer. She is already a female artist who can stand on her own in the entertainment industry.

It is reasonable for Pharrell to invite her personally.

"Did President Bernard invite you?" Zhang Ruonan asked curiously.

"I mentioned it once," Holly said. "We made an appointment to meet in Shanghai, but not to watch the show. We wanted to discuss the acquisition of Bulgari Hotel Group."
