Why race if you don’t have money?

Chapter 69 Temporary Guest Agent

Hearing this question, Liang Chi's smile froze on his face, and the next second he stretched out his foot and kicked Chen Xiangbei in the butt.

However, Chen Xiangbei's reaction was too fast. Even though he had the advantage of starting from zero frame, the kick was still dodged.

Seeing this, Liang Chi could only say angrily: "Can you speak, kid? How could someone as upright as me do something like forging a certificate?"

"Humph, as early as the day you started using CFR2000, I had already made preparations and asked Lao Zhang to help you get a racing license!"

When saying this, Liang Chi's tone was filled with a hint of pride.

You have to think carefully and foresightedly, otherwise you will really make a big mess!

"But Uncle Liang, this is a Class C driver's license. How did you apply for it?"

Chen Xiangbei was still a bit surprised. He was well aware of the application and upgrade process for a racing license. Besides the basic time limit, the more important thing was competition experience and results.

Just like this Class C racing license, in theory you have to get a top three result in a national competition to be promoted.

Facing Chen Xiangbei's question, Liang Chi said "tsk" indifferently, lit a cigarette for himself and replied casually.

"Huasai is still here, so getting a racing license isn't that easy. You're already the 08 CKC (China Karting Championship) champion. When Lao Zhang is free, let him present you with the trophy and certificate."

[Can you still play like this? 】

Chen Xiangbei froze in his tracks. Even if he'd lived his entire life, he'd never seen anything so outrageous. Was he the only driver competing in the 08 China Karting Championship?

As expected, with the hosting rights in hand, Huasai Sports can do whatever it wants!

"I'm done."

Chen Xiangbei nodded and said no more. In the past, others always obeyed him, but now it was his turn to be convinced...

After discussing some precautions, Chen Xiangbei returned to the dormitory to pack his things and make preparations before departure.

At this moment, he received a call from Qin Lianjie, who asked in a slightly concerned tone, "Xiangbei, you left in such a hurry. Did something happen at the Huasai base?"

"No, it's just that there's a reply from the Suzuka Racing Academy, informing me to go there as soon as possible for the trial training."

"Have you passed Honda's assessment?"

"That's great, congratulations."

Qin Lianjie's surprised congratulations came from the other end of the phone. If the world's racing center is in Europe, then the racing center of Asia is Japan.

Chen Xiangbei's invitation to Honda Suzuka Racing Academy means that he is already moving towards becoming one of the top domestic drivers.

"Thank you."

"By the way, I have something else to tell you. I can't participate in the East China Sea Underground Competition."

Even if Qin Lianjie didn't call to ask, Chen Xiangbei would take the initiative to call and inform him.

For Chen Xiangbei, participating in the East China Underground Competition is just a means, not an end.

Now that he had received an offer from the Suzuka Racing Academy, his funding problem had been temporarily resolved. Furthermore, with Peng Sheng's connection, allowing him to directly witness his strength, this event would have become meaningless.

"It doesn't matter, it's just for fun."

"How about this, Xiangbei? Cao An, with the 200,000 yuan, I can buy you an ad space on the front of your racing suit."

After Chen Xiangbei left, Qin Lianjie chatted with Peng Sheng for a few minutes and learned that they were discussing signing a sponsorship contract.

Since I can't escape the East China Underground Competition, I might as well sponsor an advertising space.

"Two hundred thousand is a bit expensive."

Chen Xiangbei jokingly replied that this was the current asking price of the top domestic drivers.

"It doesn't matter. Captain An has money."

"Besides, don't you have a grudge against Sha Minghui? That Pujie is just a big fish, a wimp and a pretentious one. When the time comes, I can make a few more bucks from him, which will be like transferring wealth to you."

Chen Xiangbei had no objection to this statement, and Sha Minghui almost had the words "stupid and rich" written on his face.

"Okay, that's it. I'll reserve an advertising space for your Light Spot Team."

"And Xiangbei, I have an apartment in Suzuka. It's empty anyway. I'll text you the address and door lock code. You can go and live there if you need." Qin Lianjie added. He once studied in Japan and often went to the Suzuka Circuit to watch races or run a few laps.

Since the Suzuka Circuit is some distance away from the city center of Suzuka, and the circuit is often as noisy as an airport, he bought an apartment in the city center for convenience.

The house is vacant now, and I thought Chen Xiangbei might be able to use it.

"If you really need it, I'll pay your rent."

"Damn, I'm short of this little money?"

"Come on, hang up!"

After Qin Lianjie finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Chen Xiangbei continued to pack his luggage. After finishing, he took a shower and fell asleep peacefully.

He had experienced similar trips to unfamiliar countries many times in his previous life, and he did not feel too nervous or hesitant.

As the departure was approaching, Chen Xiangbei did not arrange any training plan for the next day, but he still went to the gym for physical training.

So when Lu Xiaoman saw him appear here, a look of surprise flashed across her face. Isn't this guy too self-disciplined?

"Xiangbei, are you still training today?"

"Any questions?"

Chen Xiangbei's rhetorical question left Lu Xiaoman speechless. In theory, there was no problem, but in reality, how could an eighteen-year-old boy go to Japan for trial training without any psychological pressure?

But when it comes to Chen Xiangbei, there is no change at all.

"An emotionless racing machine..."

Lu Xiaoman muttered something softly, then walked over to help Chen Xiangbei with auxiliary exercises.

"By the way, Sister Xiaoman, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

"Do you know the broker's process?"

Behind most top drivers, there is an agent or an agent team to help the driver handle all daily affairs and business activities, including important matters such as contract negotiations.

Chen Xiangbei said seriously that he just got his racing license yesterday and became a formal professional driver, so he naturally doesn't deserve to have an agency team.

But now that he has been involved in business sponsorship matters, he doesn't have the time and energy to deal with them. Zhang Zhicong is the most suitable person for this job, as he was a professional manager before.

But the problem was that Zhang Zhicong, the CEO of a company, was lowering others' status by negotiating a sponsorship of tens or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. Furthermore, Huasai was going through bankruptcy liquidation at the end of the year, and there would undoubtedly be a lot of matters to deal with, which he also didn't have the time for.

After much thought, Lu Xiaoman was the only one available. This level of sponsorship wasn't difficult to obtain anyway, so she should be able to do it.

"No big deal, I'm an expert at this!"

"Can you do this part-time with your major?"

Although he had no choice, he couldn't help but doubt Lu Xiaoman's confidence when he saw her.

Including her role as agent, Lu Xiaoman already holds four positions. Is she really that versatile?

"Hey, business negotiations are a family tradition, don't worry."

Lu Xiaoman patted her chest and agreed, but she did not brag about the fact that her family background was Fuxin Capital.

"Okay, then I'll give you the business we want to discuss and the contact information."

Just as Chen Xiangbei was explaining the sponsorship matters, Liang Chi walked into the gym and shouted, "Xiangbei, Lao Zhang called and said that the visa and plane ticket have been processed. He asked me to take you to the airport right away."

【So fast? 】

"Sister Xiaoman, I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter."

"Well, come on north!"

Lu Xiaoman clenched her fists and encouraged Chen Xiangbei. She believed that Chen Xiangbei would be able to achieve good results!

Chen Xiangbei smiled and nodded, then followed Liang Chi out of the gym.
