Zhang Guan left the matter of selling the team to professionals. As the financial center of Europe, the UK has many law firms specializing in acquisitions and other cases, so the matter of selling the team can be directly left to those solicitors.
Zhang Guan flew from the UK to France to meet Schumacher, and at the airport, he received a call from He Yiming.
"I heard that you want to sell your shares in the team?" He Yiming asked.
"Benz is willing to pay for it, what? Are you interested? If you are interested, I will give you the shares." Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"I'm not interested. I just want to confirm that after Mercedes-Benz acquires the team, the team will no longer be called 'Power of China'!" He Yiming asked.
"Mercedes-Benz hopes to form its own manufacturer team, so the new team will definitely not continue to be called 'China Force'. I guess the new team will probably be called 'Mercedes-Benz Team'." Zhang Guan said.
"Then when you sell your shares, try to get back the words 'China Power'. Some people are interested in this." He Yiming continued: "Do you still remember Director Wang of Yadi Group? He We want to build 'China Power' into our own national car brand."
"Of course I remember." Zhang Guan replied. When he established the Champion Fund a few years ago, Director Wang had donated money.
Just listen to He Yiming continue to say: "Director Wang's company has been developing electric vehicles recently, and has made very good progress in battery technology. He wants to create a sub-brand to develop electric vehicles, but with the power of China, Four words, it is much easier and more cost-effective than re-creating a new brand. After all, China Force has a great reputation domestically and even around the world, and as the annual championship of F1, the brand image is also better than Domestic car brands need to be more high-end. And if you can serve as a spokesperson, it can help promote the upgrade of this brand."
"So he not only wants the brand 'China Power', but also wants me to be the spokesperson?" Zhang Guan frowned slightly. It's not that he doesn't want to endorse domestic brands, but the current quality and reputation of domestically produced cars really makes Zhang Guan afraid to try it.
"The price offered by Director Wang is really tempting, at least I can't bear to refuse." He Yiming said.
"How much?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.
"It's not money. He is willing to use the shares of Yadi Group in exchange for the China Power brand and for you to endorse it." He Yiming said.
"Share?" Zhang Guan also felt a little excited when he heard that there was a share. Compared with cash, shares of a listed group are indeed more attractive.
"Okay, I will call the law firm later and tell them that the contract to sell the fleet does not include the 'Power of China' brand. I think this brand is of little use to Mercedes-Benz." Zhang Guan said.
…
Meribel in France is one of the top ten ski resorts in the world. It has the largest ski belt in the entire Alps, with a full 150 kilometers of ski trails, beautiful lakes, quiet pine forests, and world-famous forest cabins. resort.
Many celebrities like to come to Meribel for vacation in winter. Schumacher is one of them, and he is also a very famous one. He comes here to ski almost every winter. His almost fatal injury in the future was also in Caused here while skiing.
Skiing is still an unfamiliar sport to Zhang Guan. There are not many decent ski resorts in the country. Even if there are, they are only small ski resorts with more than ten miles of ski trails, and the edges can be seen at a glance. As for the world's top ski resort like Meribel, this is really Zhang Guan's first time.
Schumacher is considered a master in skiing, and as an athlete, Zhang Guan still has some athletic ability, so under Schumacher's guidance, he quickly mastered the basic skills of skiing, although he is not proficient. But at least I won't fall anymore.
Forest cabins are a major feature of Meribel. Most of the cabins are located on slopes, with open air and balconies facing the south, allowing guests to enjoy the warm sunshine. The log cabin resort hotel also has a professional management team and a first-class French chef, who can cook the world's top dishes, and there are also some precious wines stored in the cellar.
Schumacher is obviously a regular customer here, which can be seen from his familiarity with the waiters. He can even call many waiters by their names and know which chef makes the best dish.
"Try this caviar. It is the best caviar in Europe. It is made from Siberian sturgeon roe. It is only 2.6 mm in diameter. It is picked by hand and is in limited supply throughout Europe." Schumacher pointed out. Said with caviar.
Zhang Guan nodded. When he and Sharapova were together, he had eaten the world's top caviar once before. He remembered that the price of this kind of caviar at that time was about 300 US dollars per ounce, which was about the same. That’s equivalent to $9 per gram. In fact, Zhang Guan is not interested in caviar. After all, it does not conform to the eating habits of Eastern people. In his mouth, caviar that costs 300 US dollars per ounce and caviar that costs 30 US dollars per ounce are not that big. The difference is that if he hadn't been with Sharapova, Zhang Guan would have really been reluctant to buy such expensive caviar.
Although Zhang Guan had eaten it before, he still pretended to be looking forward to it and took a bite of the expensive caviar and said politely: "It is indeed very delicious."
Next to him, Schumacher's 10-year-old son Mick had already finished his portion of caviar. The little guy seemed to particularly like the taste. After eating, he looked at Schumacher longingly.
Schumacher looked at his son dotingly, and then said to the waiter: "Luke, give me another piece of this caviar."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter named Luke turned and left, but he came back empty-handed a moment later.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Schumacher, this caviar has just been sold out, and new ones will not be delivered until tomorrow afternoon." Luke said.
"Sold out just now? What a coincidence!" Schumacher said with some regret.
"Yes, the customers next door just bought all the caviar." Luke lowered his voice and continued: "They were a group of customers from China. They were very generous and ordered the most expensive food. "
"That's a pity. Why don't you give me a different kind of caviar?" Schumacher said.
"Okay, we have another brand of caviar, which is also delicious. Please wait a moment." Luke turned and left, and soon a new caviar was brought.
…
Zhang Guan walked out of the bathroom stall and walked to the sink, only to see a man with black hair and yellow skin just pushing the door open and going out.
Asians rarely go skiing in Meribel, so Zhang Guan glanced at the man unconsciously. Although he only saw half of his face, he felt that the man looked familiar.
"Who is this person? He looks familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere. Could it be that he has met someone familiar?" Zhang Guan immediately chased after him, trying to get closer to see the other person's face clearly.
The man walked straight towards the dining area, and the room he finally went to was the dining room next to Zhang Guan.
"Is it right next door to us? By the way, I just heard from Luke that the people next door are also Chinese, and they spend a lot of money."
At this time, when the man turned around and pushed the door open, Zhang Guan finally saw the man's appearance clearly.
"It's Chen Dong from the Snow Association!"
