Ross Brown looked at Fukui, and he was very satisfied with the results of his negotiations. He continued: "Mr. Fukui, we can pay you the money to buy the team, but we will not bear the debt of the original Honda team."

"It's okay to pay, 700 million dollars!" Fukui was a little annoyed at this time, and directly said a price equivalent to the fleet's debt.

"I'm afraid this price is difficult to accept. I think 50 million US dollars is a more appropriate price!" Ross Brown directly lowered the price to less than 30%.

"You want to buy a Formula One team for $50 million? Huh! Mr. Brown, now it's not 1999, but 2009!" said Fukui.

"A Formula One team? I don’t think so! Maybe it’s just an empty shell, empty office, empty design base, empty wind, empty test field, no technician, no designer, no operation Oh, maybe there will be a few cleaning workers." Ross Brown said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Fukui eyes widened.

Ross Brown smiled slightly, he opened his briefcase, took out a thick stack of envelopes from inside, shook it in front of Fukui, and then said: "These are resignation letters, I will give you a few casually. A name! Nick Frye, deputy manager and cfo of the team; Zander, deputy technical director of the team; Biggers, aerodynamics supervisor; Ruernes, maintenance department supervisor..."

Ross Brown said a few names on his face, all of whom are in important positions in the Honda team. The face of Fukui opposite also became more difficult to look.

"Mr. Fukui, if these people resign, I think the Honda team will become an empty shell! And if these people are gathered together, it should not be a problem to get a new team! Of course, these The resignation letter was just sent to me. If I can successfully buy the team, I am confident that I can keep them." Ross Brown said.

Ross-Brown’s subtext has been very clear. If Fukui does not sell the team, he will dig out the team’s backbone personnel and reorganize a new team, and a Honda team without backbone talents, I am afraid There is really only broken copper and iron!

Fukui has no doubt that Ross Brown has this ability. For others, reorganizing a team may be a very complicated matter, but with Ross Brown’s network and prestige at the racing festival, even if it is from From scratch, he also has the ability to build a Formula One team.

Anger filled Fukui’s heart, and he wished to kill Ross Brown, who was just forcing the palace and threatening him to sell the team with the resignation of these employees.

However, anger turned into anger, but reality forced him to have to agree to Ross Brown’s request to sell the team to Ross Brown and at least have a sum of money to relieve Honda’s economic pressure. If everyone takes away, Honda team can't even get the money.

"Mr. Brown, 50 million dollars is really too little. I think since it is a negotiation, both of us should come with sincerity. I hope that Mr. Brown can give us a sincere price!" Fukui finally admitted.

"Of course, we are very sincere, and what I just said is just a unilaterally more ideal price. Negotiation, of course, the best result is acceptable to both of us. In terms of price, we You can also talk slowly." Ross Brown instantly became a docile sheep.

However, everyone on the scene knows that at this point in the negotiations, the rest depends on how much price Rory Brown can hold down!

...

Ross Brown's method is not glorious, and it can even be said to be a bit mean. If it was put in the past, Ross Brown may not do this kind of thing, but now it is different. This time, the acquisition of Honda team, Ross- Brown spent his own money.

Former Ross Brown, whether in Williams, Benetton or Ferrari, was a successful wage earner, but at that time he spent the boss’s money and ruined the boss’s money. Not distressed, anyway, you can take the invoice back to reimburse.

But this time Ross Brown is a partner of the new team and one of the bosses. The boss’s money can be ruined, but his own money has to be calculated one by one, so Ross Brown has also started to use some things that do not look very glorious. The means to buy the Honda team.

...

After a long negotiation, the two sides finally reached a consensus on the price. The price they finally negotiated was 80 million US dollars. The new team will fully accept the fixed assets and staff of the old team, but Honda’s debt will continue to be borne by Honda. .

80 million US dollars, less than half of the debt owed by Honda team, Honda has to pay another 90 million US dollars to make up for the remaining holes, but for Honda, in this era of economic crisis, Recovering 80 million yuan of funds is already a very good result.

Ross Brown is also quite satisfied with the price. The $80 million USD was bought with positive assets, no liabilities, and the team’s staff and equipment are all available, which means that it is immediately available. For $80 million to buy an off-the-shelf team, Ross Brown thinks it's worth it.

There is no objection to the price Zhang Guan, I am afraid that no one in the world knows the team's price better than Ross Brown. Since Ross Brown thinks it is worth it, it must be worth it.

Zhang Guan invested 50 million in the team’s purchase of the team, and Zhang Guan invested 50 million. Ross-Brown spent 30 million. Zhang Guan accounted for 60% and Ross-Brown accounted for 40%. Zhang Guan lost 2 million. But it left Rose Brown. In the racing world, the talent of Rose Brown is not comparable to the two million dollars.

And Rose Brown has expressed that he is willing to give up next year's salary. People like Rose Brown are eligible to receive tens of millions of annual salary. This is obviously Rose Brown is saving money for the team.

Of course, if Zhang Guan becomes a driver, he is willing to pay for the next season for free without salary.

...

"We finally have our own team. I didn't expect that one day I would become the owner of a team!" Ross Brown couldn't hide his excitement, he continued: "Now wait for the approval of the International Automobile Federation After the acquisition, all our procedures are over. It seems that we can still catch up with the last concentrated test before the start of the game!"

Zhang Guan nodded with a smile, and then said: "Mr. Brown, now we still need to give our team a name, we can't continue to call Honda team! Do you have any good suggestions for this?"

"You are the majority shareholder, or you decide it!" Ross Brown didn't care much about it.

"I want to stop selling the naming rights of the team..." Zhang Guan said.

"We just bought a team that is on the verge of bankruptcy, and we have not achieved any decent results. The naming rights can't be sold at any price. And if we sell the naming rights now, when our team will improve in the future, Isn't it a loss?" Ross Brown said bluntly.

"That's what I said!" Zhang Guan thought for a while and said, "There has never been a team from China in Formula One. Since this is the case, I want to call it'China Power'!"
