Yamamoto Ichiro strode quickly into the reporter's view.

"Mr. Shen, your speech was excellent."

He deliberately raised his voice: "However, the automotive industry cannot rely solely on rhetoric. Exterior and interior design can attract viewers, but the true value of a sports car lies in its performance."

The surrounding reporters immediately turned their cameras away.

A reporter, holding a microphone, asked, "Mr. Yamamoto, how would you like to make the comparison?"

"Get on the racetrack!"

Yamamoto Ichiro looked at Shen Ze: "The Toyota Supra and the Wuling Rongguang SZ2 will have an open race."

"Live the entire event live, so viewers around the world can see for themselves which of the two cars is truly superior!"

A murmur of discussion immediately arose at the scene.

"Is the competition about to start?"

"Toyota is clearly unwilling to lose attention."

"Getting on the racetrack isn't as simple as just taking a few photos."

Listening to the surrounding noises, Yamamoto Ichiro continued, "Of course, it's just a friendly match. Mr. Shen can also decline if he feels the new car isn't ready yet."

Friendly match?

Sun Shaoli frowned as he listened.

The reporter's live broadcast is still running.

Shen Ze refused, and tomorrow's headline will be "Wuling Dares Not Accept Performance Testing".

Shen Ze agreed that if they lost, overseas media would use the competition results to negate SZ2, and even the entire domestic high-end car project.

Orders, stock price, and brand reputation could all be affected!

This is forcing Wuling onto the racetrack.

Shen Ze nodded directly: "Okay."

The second half of Yamamoto Ichiro's prepared sentence got stuck in his throat.

Shen Ze looked at him: "When and where?"

"The day after tomorrow, the large-scale racetrack in Dongjing City."

Yamamoto Ichiro immediately chimed in: "The two cars will race together, broadcast live online, and the winner will be determined by the final results."

"it is good."

Shen Ze's answer remained straightforward.

"The vehicles, race rules, and timing methods will be confirmed in advance. Since it's an open competition, we want the audience to see everything clearly."

A reporter quickly followed up, "Mr. Shen, the match is being held at Toyota's home stadium. Don't you have any concerns?"

"We manufactured the car."

Shen Ze reached out and patted the body of the SZ2: "I have confidence in it."

A young audience member nearby immediately raised his phone: "He agreed! Shen Zezhen agreed!"

Sun Shaoli looked at Shen Ze, his tense shoulders gradually relaxing.

Across from him, Yamamoto Ichiro also smiled.

He wasn't afraid of Shen Ze's confidence; he was afraid that Shen Ze wouldn't compete!

If Supra crosses the finish line first, he can use this momentum to firmly establish the reputation of Wuling as flashy but impractical.

This match, nominally a friendly one, is actually related to the international reputation of both automakers.

No one can afford to lose.

That afternoon, news of the two companies' public race spread across the internet.

Then, another message sparked a discussion.

Shen Ze will participate in the competition himself!

Upon learning this, Sun Shaoli immediately approached Shen Ze: "Mr. Shen, are you going to take the stage personally?"

"right."

"As the head of the group, the opposing team will definitely hire professional drivers. The race is not just about the cars; entering corners, braking, and overtaking—every aspect can affect the results."

Shen Ze smiled and said, "I can do those too."

Sun Shaoli was stunned.

Shen Ze did not explain the existence of the system.

The god-like driving skills bestowed upon him by the system have already given him enough confidence.

Judging speed, choosing a route, and controlling the limits are not problems for him.

When he was young, he would stare at racing competitions on TV, unable to take his eyes off them.

Back then, I couldn't afford a sports car, let alone have the opportunity to go to the racetrack.

Now, the domestically produced sports car that he helped build is right in front of him.

By personally taking the stage, he can not only fulfill his dream but also publicly demonstrate the car's capabilities.

When the news reached Toyota headquarters, Ichiro Yamamoto burst out laughing.

"He drove it himself?"

The assistant nodded: "Hua Teng has confirmed that Shen Ze himself will participate."

"Great! That's wonderful!"

Yamamoto Ichiro stood up and paced back and forth a couple of times.

Even if Huateng hires top drivers, he still has to worry about the performance of the SZ2.

But could Shen Ze participate in the competition himself?

How much industry experience can someone who is busy investing, researching and developing, and running a business all day have?

Driving well on ordinary roads is completely different from professional racing!

"Contact the top professional drivers in Japan."

Yamamoto Ichiro immediately gave the order.

"The one who once won the global A-level league championship and consistently ranked among the top five in the world."

The assistant hesitated before saying, "His appearance fee is very high."

"Ten million!"

Yamamoto Ichiro extended one finger.

"I don't want an ordinary victory."

"I want him to completely leave Shen Ze behind, and let the global audience see the gap!"

The lucrative offer quickly received a response.

After hearing the race schedule, the invited professional driver's first question was, "My opponent is Shen Ze himself?"

"That's right."

Do you have any professional competition experience?

The driver put down the documents, his tone very decisive.

"Then there won't be any suspense in this match."

In a media interview, he bluntly stated, "If I lose to Shen Ze, I will retire."

"My entire racing career is a guarantee!"

These words caused a huge stir on overseas automotive platforms.

World champions versus entrepreneurs.

Top drivers familiar with their home field, compared to Shen Ze who has no publicly available racing experience.

Many car reviewers have even lost interest in analyzing vehicle specifications.

"The performance of a professional driver and an ordinary driver can be very different in the same car."

"Moreover, Shen Ze is not familiar with this track."

"He is qualified to run a car company, but that doesn't mean he's qualified to challenge for the world championship."

"This decision is too arrogant, and Wuling is likely to pay the price for its overconfidence."

However, netizens from Daxia did not back down.

"You've already decided the outcome before the competition even started?"

"Mr. Shen must have the confidence to take on this challenge!"

"We support domestic products, but please also carefully review the track results!"

The more intense the debate, the more attention the competition receives.

Two days later, at the large racetrack in Dongjing City.

The global live stream has officially begun.

The camera panned across the stands, where Toyota and Wuling vehicles were parked in the preparation area. Even before the two cars entered the track, the live broadcast studios around the world were already packed with viewers.

Ichiro Yamamoto stood next to the Toyota and introduced it to the camera.

"Today's driver is a top-tier driver who has won the global A-level league championship and consistently ranks among the world's top five!"

The professional driver, dressed in his racing suit, came out.

Cheers immediately erupted from the stands.

He took the helmet, nodded at the camera, and then walked to the driver's seat of the Supra.

A commentator lowered his voice and said, "This driver has extensive experience on this track and is very familiar with everything from braking points to corner exit lines."

Another commentator chimed in: "For Wuling to win, its vehicle advantage must be significant enough, and Shen Ze himself cannot make any mistakes."

Upon hearing these words, Yamamoto Ichiro's smile widened.
