At this time, Omi seemed very embarrassed. He brought his bodyguards to look for trouble, but before the fight started, his bodyguards gave in!
The price of a Jaguar XK sports car is only 200,000 to 300,000 U.S. dollars. Even if tariffs are included, it will not cost 1 million. The Omi Lion wants 2 million. Apparently, after discovering that the other party is Zhang Guan, he wants to get it from Zhang Guan. A stroke of luck. But at this moment, he found himself in a dilemma.
Give in? That would be too embarrassing. There is no way Omi would do such a thing. But if the stalemate continues, Omi won't get much benefit. Zhang Guan will definitely not lose money, and even if Zhang Guan pats his butt and leaves, Omi can't stop him.
Sure enough, Zhang Guan ignored Omi and was about to leave.
"Don't leave, my car isn't over yet!" Omi said immediately.
Zhang Guan turned around and said, "My driving skills are poor and I drove my car into a ditch. I can't blame others!"
"You..." Omi was a little annoyed: "Isn't it great that you can drive? There are many people in India who can drive! We also have an F1 team in India!"
"What does that have to do with you? The driver is not you, and the team is not yours!" What Zhang Guan despises the most is this kind of person. He has no ability to be better than others, but he uses other people's excellent results to show off his superiority. As if you are so great!
"Although I am not a driver, the team belongs to me!" Omi snorted: "I just said it, my name is Omi-Mariya! The Force India team in F1 belongs to our Mariya family!"
"Force India? The last one last season?" Zhang Guan asked.
The Force India team was the original Spyker team. It was later acquired by the Indian wealthy businessman Mallya and was renamed Force India. Last season's Formula One race can be said to be the first season experienced by the Force India team. In the end, they failed to score a single point and ranked last among all teams. It turns out that Japan's Super Aguri team is also at the bottom, but the Super Aguri team was disbanded in May and withdrew from the Formula One competition, so Force India became the only one from the bottom.
Zhang Guan mentioned the words "last place", which immediately made Omi feel embarrassed. Originally, having an F1 team and being able to participate in the world's top and most expensive sport is something worth boasting about. However, Zhang Guan’s words hit Omi where it hurts!
"So what if we are last place? You Chinese are not even qualified to participate in the F1 race! You have no F1 drivers and no F1 team! We in India are much better than you in this regard!" Omi showed a mocking expression.
Zhang Guan ignored Omi, mainly because he had no way to refute. China does not have an F1 team or F1 driver. China's automobile industry is indeed relatively backward. The streets are full of so-called "joint venture brands". Domestic cars Companies are still unable to build decent passenger cars, and people are even less willing to buy domestically produced cars.
However, Omi obviously has no intention of stopping. He went on to say: "We in India are a real country of technology and innovation. We have countless excellent software engineers. The scientific and technological talents in Silicon Valley are basically us Indians. What about you?" ? Apart from copying and stealing other people’s technology, what do you do? What kind of world factory? What kind of Made in China? In fact, there is nothing of your own at all!”
Omi's words touched Zhang Guan's nerves. This is indeed the impression many foreigners have of Made in China, a cheap and quality-checked copycat product. However, when China comes up with the world's most cutting-edge product, such as high-speed rail, The city was accused of plagiarizing products from European and American countries.
"What? I have nothing to say! Our Force India team did not get any points in the competition. We are the last one, but you are not even qualified to be the last one!" Omi raised his head like a winner. head.
"If you don't have it now, it doesn't mean you won't have it in the future." Zhang Guan clenched his fists fiercely.
"The future? Tomorrow is the future, next year is the future, ten years later, twenty years later, or even a hundred years later, it is all the future! Haha, maybe in a hundred years, you Chinese will really have a driver enter Where's F1?" Omi said and laughed wildly.
There was a stern look in Zhang Guan's eyes. He took a deep breath and said, "It won't take long. Next season, there will be a Chinese driver in Formula One!"
"Really? Why didn't I hear about it? You couldn't have said it was you, right?" Omi looked at Zhang Guan with mocking eyes.
"Yes! It's me!" Zhang Guan said seriously.
"Hahahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard this year! Hahahaha..." Omi laughed wildly.
"What? Don't you believe it? Let me tell you, I will not only become an F1 driver, but I will also win the F1 championship next year! So in next year's Formula One race, you will not only see a Chinese driver, but also a Chinese driver. We will see a Chinese champion!" Zhang Guan paused and then said: "We are indeed not qualified to compete with you Indians for the last place, because we Chinese are born to be number one in the world! "
"Hahaha... Let me correct what I just said. This is the funniest joke I have heard this year! Oh, no! It should be the funniest joke I have heard in my life! China's racing champion? You even You can’t drive a kart well, but you still dream about becoming a Formula One racing champion? Hahaha... "
"Omi Maria, right? If you don't believe it, should we make a bet?" Zhang Guan looked at Omi coldly.
"What are you betting on?" Omi asked.
"10 million US dollars! If I win the F1 world championship next year, you lose me 10 million US dollars. If I don't win, I lose you 10 million US dollars. Do you dare?" Zhang Guan asked.
"A mere 10 million U.S. dollars? Haha, the worth of a world champion is not only this, but you are also afraid of losing! If you want to bet, how about a bigger bet, 100 million U.S. dollars?" Omi said domineeringly.
"I said 10 million US dollars because I'm afraid you don't have that much money. 100 million US dollars? Do you have that much?" Zhang Guan said coldly.
"Will I have no money? I am the first heir to the Maliya family! What is a mere 10 million? Even if it is 100 million, I don't care!" Omi said arrogantly.
"Really? How about we add a little more? Can you afford 200 million US dollars?" Zhang Guan said immediately.
"Even 500 million U.S. dollars, our Maliya family can afford it!" Omi said.
"Then $500 million! How about we go find a lawyer and sign this bet now?" Zhang Guan said immediately, and then looked at Omi aggressively.
"This..." Although Omi is a dandy, he is not a fool. He only talks about the 500 million US dollar bet verbally. If he really wants to see a lawyer to sign the contract, he doesn't dare.
"What? Don't you dare? Or do you simply don't have that much money?" Zhang Guandi said excitedly.
"I'm afraid you don't have that much money!" Omi argued.
"The whole world knows that I am the most valuable athlete in the world. I earn hundreds of millions in advertising endorsements every year. It is not very difficult for me to earn half a billion US dollars. On the contrary, it is you, who are like a Maria family. I think this Maliya family, what you said doesn’t count! Even if your Maliya family is rich, they won’t give you so much!” Zhang Guan deliberately showed a mocking expression, and then said: “If you don’t have money, You can lower the price, or how much do you want to bet?”
"I will have no money! Let me tell you, all I have left is money!" Omi also felt that he was being looked down upon.
"Then let's find a lawyer to sign a gambling contract!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"Sign it! Who is afraid of whom?" Omi agreed.
"This silly kid needs to recharge his IQ!" Zhang Guan looked at Omi with a cold smile on his face.

PS: New project, racing, Formula 1! I wonder how many people guessed it correctly? I don’t know about the situation of ladies, but I think every man has a dream-car in his heart! Driving your own dream-car, playing music, running on the beach by yourself or with your family, feeling the sea breeze, wandering in the mountains and forests listening to the birdsong, traveling through the Gobi and looking at the sky... It feels great just thinking about it! So in the outline I listed the sport of racing.
But I guess some people will say that they don’t like the racing field, don’t understand racing, and give up reading the book! I also said this when I wrote about tennis and basketball several times before. Sprinting is easy to understand. Anyone can understand it by running away. However, I still suggest that people who don’t understand try to learn about this sport through my book! Any sport has its own unique charm. The first time I watched a racing car, I was attracted by Schumacher's four pit stops, and I have fallen in love with this sport ever since.
And life is inherently interesting when you have to try different things.
