Chapter 1,399 Contra!

Chapter 1399 Contra!

Schumacher was stunned! Lin Feng actually invited him to be the overseas image spokesperson for "Shenlong Automobile". (Read novel) Being an advertising spokesperson is not uncommon for Schumacher. For example, he had previously endorsed the world's most famous watch brand Omega, which has been signed for ten years.

But for Schumacher, the car brand is the first time. He has never endorsed a car brand. And so far, no car brand has asked him to endorse it. This is not to say that he is not famous enough, but that the traces of Ferrari on Schumacher are too heavy, too heavy. Anyone who sees Schumacher will think of Ferrari. This naturally makes other car brands stay away from Schumacher. Because they are worried that after hiring Schumacher, sales will not be too good. Moreover, Schumacher's worth is too high.

Today, he is the highest-paid racer in the F1 world. After the salary increase, his annual salary has exceeded 40 million US dollars. If the advertising endorsement contract is too small, Schumacher will not endorse it at all, which is a self-depreciation. But if the endorsement fee is too much, it is not cost-effective.

Therefore, so far, although many car brands have tried to attract Schumacher, no car brand has taken action. Moreover, Schumacher himself also tries to avoid car advertising contracts. And now, Lin Feng's invitation naturally surprised Schumacher a little.

"Mr. Lin, are you really sure to invite me to be the spokesperson for your "Shenlong Automobile"? "Schumacher asked in surprise.

Lin Feng nodded.

"Mr. Schumacher, this is a contract I drafted, please take a look." Lin Feng smiled and took out a contract from the side. This was prepared before Lin Feng came to the banquet. For Lin Feng today, the primary goal is to invite Schumacher to join the "Shenlong Racing Team", but this goal is not so easy to achieve, and Lin Feng has long been prepared for failure. Inviting Schumacher to be the overseas spokesperson for "Shenlong Automobile" is Lin Feng's second goal.

Lin Zhiying is undoubtedly the best candidate for the domestic advertising spokesperson for "Shenlong Racing Team". With his idol status, plus the fact that he has now become a driver of the "Shenlong Racing Team" and a quasi-F1 driver, his popularity in the hearts of domestic fans is unparalleled. Overseas, Lin Zhiying's fame is too small, too small. Therefore, inviting Schumacher to be the overseas spokesperson for "Shenlong Automobile" is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. Although the Ferrari flavor on him is a bit too strong, Lin Feng firmly believes that as long as reasonable product strategies and pricing methods are adopted, the influence of Ferrari on him can be offset.

Schumacher took the contract and looked at it, and was slightly surprised. The price of this contract is quite generous. Lin Feng offered a price of 7 million euros a year, which is the most generous advertising contract endorsed by Schumacher. Moreover, the contract is signed for five years, which means that in the next five years, no matter what happens to the "Shenlong Racing Team", Schumacher will be able to receive a total of 35 million euros in remuneration.

Is this "Shenlong Racing Team" so rich! —— Schumacher was secretly shocked.

Although his annual salary is far more than this number, you have to know that it can only be obtained by fighting for life in every game, while advertising only requires a few poses and a few hours of time to earn a lot of remuneration. In terms of the efficiency of making money per unit time, advertising is far better than racing.

"Tsk, tsk, this advertising contract is really generous. Master, why don't you do such a cost-effective thing, sign it quickly." Allegra saw the contract amount on the side and was shocked.

Schumacher thought about it and nodded.

"Mr. Lin, so, tomorrow I will let my agent talk to you in detail. If there are no other questions, I am willing to serve as the global spokesperson for "Shenlong Automobile." Schumacher said seriously.

"Well, see you tomorrow!" Lin Feng smiled. Although Schumacher did not agree to join the "Shenlong Racing Team" today, with Allegra's help, he did earn a promise from Schumacher that was not a promise, and also won Schumacher's advertising endorsement contract, which was a great harvest.

As for why he offered Schumacher such a high salary this time, one was to show his sincerity to Schumacher, and the other was to tell Schumacher that "Shenlong Automobile" is absolutely capable, and "Shenlong Racing Team" is by no means as incompetent as the outside world imagines.

"Okay, it's time to cut the cake. Let's go!" Allegra saw that the two had reached a verbal agreement, smiled, and pulled the two to the center of the field.

Then, after Allegra made a birthday wish and cut the cake, the party ended. Lin Feng and his party will stay directly in Allegra's manor tonight. After Allegra's birthday today, she will officially take over Versace. Her future life will be equal to busyness, and she will not have much time to get together with her girlfriends like Lee Ji-woo. Therefore, Allegra is going to have a good time tonight.

As for Lin Feng, he was naturally excluded from this women's team. After all, men are men, and when women talk, no matter how close a man is, he cannot intervene.

A night of silence. The next day, when the girls were still sleeping, Lin Feng brought Lin Chiling (Lin Chiling and Allegra did not have a good relationship, so she was also excluded from this small group) to meet Schumacher and his agent. After a short negotiation, the two sides signed an agreement very happily.

"Happy cooperation! Michael, I hope we can continue to cooperate in the team next year." Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Haha, happy cooperation. I hope so!" Schumacher did not take Lin Feng's words to heart. Although Allegra deceived him, within a year, the "Dragon Racing Team" wanted to improve the team's strength to Schumacher's satisfaction, which was an almost impossible task. After all, this is a technical thing, but it cannot be mixed with any falsehood.

Lin Feng smiled slightly. I don't care about Schumacher's perfunctory behavior. Some things are useless to say with words, they have to be proven with actions. After staying in Europe for another two days, Lin Feng returned to Shanghai with Li Zhiyou, Lin Zhihui, Huang Meixi, and Lin Chiling. As for Avril Lavigne and Jessica, they returned to the United States. Avril Lavigne has to manage "Second Entertainment", and Jessica has already taken over the filming of the "Fantastic Four" blockbuster filmed by the "film company" under "Second Entertainment" and is about to start filming. As a heroine, she is naturally I can no longer run around.

After arriving in Shanghai, after sending Li Zhiyou, Lin Zhihui and Huang Meixi home, Lin Feng flew directly to Changchun, Jilin. You know, starting from June 19 the day before yesterday, the three series of energy-saving and environmentally friendly cars owned by "Dragon Automobile" have been officially put on sale. Lin Feng really wants to know their sales. This is a bet with Little Japan, you can’t lose!

"Zheng Jie, how are the sales of the three-series sedans now?" Lin Feng asked with concern.

"Dr. Lin, the sales volume is quite good. Among the current three-series sedans: 'Nuwa' (with a displacement of less than 1.0 liters, known as 'Athena' overseas) sold a total of 3,000 units in three days, while 'Xingtian' (1.0 -14 liters, called 'Ares' overseas) sold 7,000 units, while 'Houyi' (1.4-1.6 liters, called 'Apollo' in the West) sold 12,000 units!) Zheng Jie said excitedly.

Although this sales number is not too bragging, domestically produced cars have sold a total of 22,000 units in just three days, which is already a very amazing result. Such good results can be achieved not only because low-carbon environmental protection is being advocated internationally, but more importantly because of its low price. This is undoubtedly good news for the vast number of Chinese people who are eager to own their own cars. Moreover, although its price is "energy-saving and environmentally friendly", its appearance and performance are not "energy-saving and environmentally friendly", which naturally makes many car fans happy and therefore willing to pay for it.

Of course, its publicity strategy is also very important. Lin Zhiying's endorsement can be said to have made the sales of "Dragon Car" the icing on the cake. Although Jimmy Lin has not been too popular in the past two years, unlike Jay Chou and Tao Zhe, it can be said that Lin Zhiying is almost forgotten. But this time he endorsed "Dragon Motors", and the attention he aroused was beyond imagination. No one thought that Jimmy Lin would be so popular among car fans.

But think about it, Lin Zhiying's handsome appearance, charming smile, good driving skills, and his status as a quasi F1 racing driver naturally make Jimmy Lin very popular. The "Dragon Sedan" he endorses is naturally also loved by car fans.

Lin Feng nodded, a stone hanging in his heart finally relieved. In order to promote the Shenlong sedan, Lin Feng tried every means, including hiring spokespersons, selling online, and setting up his own "Dingdang.com" repair stations in major cities across the country to use the liquidity of "Dingdang.com" (500 million yuan) consumes half of it. Although this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Lin Feng, from the company's perspective, it is extremely risky.

Now that I heard that the sales volume is so gratifying, my heart naturally dropped. In this way, not only can we hope to win the bet with Little Japan, but we can also make "Dragon Motors" rise. Of course, more importantly, our own "Dingdong.com" can also make a lot of money through this, and at the same time create a new era of online car sales. First of all, this is undoubtedly something worth celebrating.

"Director Lin, although car sales are good now, domestic car after-sales has always been a problem. Now the company's after-sales is handled by 'Dingdang.com'. I hope 'Dingdang.com' can be powerful enough in this regard and not hold the company back." For a long time, Chinese people have chosen foreign brand cars not only because of their popularity and advanced technology, but more importantly because of their good after-sales service. On the contrary, when selling domestic cars, everything is good. But once it's sold, if something goes wrong, it could be a problem. Its troublesome after-sales service can be said to have tortured many car buyers. Over time, Chinese people have naturally become daunted by domestic car brands.

Therefore, Zheng Jie never hopes that "Dragon Motors" will make the same mistakes in this area!

"Don't worry! In this regard, 'Dingdang.com' will never be lenient. The foundation of 'Dingdang.com' is after-sales service. You can definitely rest assured about this." Lin Feng nodded. Regarding this point, Lin Feng told Liu Yingying a long time ago that she must ensure that the attitude of maintenance workers at all repair stations must be amiable and that all car owners must receive the best after-sales service. You know, credibility is built up bit by bit.

The so-called word-of-mouth, word-of-mouth, isn't it just word of mouth!

Zheng Jie breathed a sigh of relief. If this problem can be solved, the future of Shenlong Automobile will be half bright. The other half is its scientific research.

"Director Lin, Solo and others don't seem to want to continue working in the company, and their research is a bit nonsensical, which is not good for the company. I wonder if we should change a group of researchers. After all, forceful melons are not sweet. !" Zheng Jie reminded cautiously.

Now everyone knows that Solo and others are also serving Lin Feng personally. For example, the "magnetic weighting" technology is patented by Lin Feng personally, and many people in the company have complaints about this. After all, they are paid by the company but work for Lin Feng personally, which naturally makes many people dissatisfied. Although Solo and others are actually studying different topics at "Shenlong Automobile" and "Linfeng Research Institute", it is always inevitable that there is a suspicion of melon field plum. Therefore, in Zheng Jie's opinion, it is better to hire another group of people to solve this embarrassing matter. Avoid a bigger riot in the future.

Lin Feng nodded.

"I think it's better to hire talents from Germany. Now the global manufacturing industry is the most advanced in Germany and Japan. And with the relationship between China and Japan, it is obvious that we can only choose Germany. As for whether we can hire outstanding talents, I think as long as we can afford the price, there should be many people willing to come. If those authoritative experts are unwilling to come, we will directly recruit talents who have just graduated from the German Industrial College." Lin Feng thought about it and said.

Zheng Jie nodded. That's what he meant, to recruit people directly from Germany. If you can't recruit skilled talents, then recruit college graduates. In short, in this world of money, you don't believe that you can't hire people with money! You may not be able to buy direct technology, but you can create your own technology.

After chatting for a few more words, Lin Feng said goodbye to Zheng Jie and met with Solo and others.

"Solo, in a few days, when the company invites talents from Germany, you can leave the company and concentrate on research in my "Linfeng Research Institute". By the way, how is the research on "magnetic weighting" technology going now?" Lin Feng asked.

"According to the notes, the progress is smooth, but we always feel that something is wrong in the middle, and we are stepping up research." Solo frowned and said.

"It's okay, research, research, it's always a slow thing, don't rush. By the way, what notes? Is this "magnetic weighting" technology designed based on whose notes? Will there be any copyright issues?" Lin Feng asked nervously.

"Magnetic weighting" technology is a technology that Lin Feng relies on particularly. If there are any copyright issues, it will be troublesome.

"Well, boss, this is based on the notes of one of our great predecessors. But this predecessor has passed away, so there is no copyright issue, please rest assured." Solo said with admiration.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, who is this predecessor?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Well, this predecessor is a senior of ours at Harvard. But he is not very famous, and the outside world does not know much about him." Solo said hesitantly.

Lin Feng is now a shrewd man, and naturally saw Solo's hesitation at a glance, but Lin Feng does not like to get to the bottom of this matter. After all, everyone has their own secrets, as long as they study hard.

"Okay, have you chosen the address of your research institute in New York? Last time you said you chose the address yourself. If you have chosen it, give it to me, so that I can help you build the research institute quickly." Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, this is the address we want." Solo handed Lin Feng a note with an address written on it.

Lin Feng took a look and accepted it.

"Okay, I'll leave first. Remember to call my secretary if you have any requests. It's available 24 hours a day." Lin Feng finally ordered.

"Got it, boss!" Solo and others saw Lin Feng off.

After Lin Feng left.

"Solo, why didn't you tell the boss? Don't you want to help this senior get justice?" One of Solo's classmates shouted.

"Mickey, the outside world has always had an unfair view of him. How do we know that the boss will agree with him? What if the boss is the same as those vulgar people in the outside world?" Solo asked back.

Mickey was speechless for a while.

"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's quickly overcome the 'magnetic weighting' technology. The magnetic field of the sphere inside is always unstable. If this is not solved, it will cause big trouble." Solo ordered.

Everyone nodded, then put aside the dispute and continued to devote themselves to the research.

At this time, in Japan.

"Mr. Toyota, the three series of Shenlong cars are now on the market. Nuwa, Xingtian and Houyi have all achieved good sales, which is beyond our expectations! Also, do you know why their cars can drive so fast?" Honda Hirotoshi frowned.

"Yes, it stands to reason that this energy-saving and environmentally friendly car with such a small displacement cannot run so fast." Mitsubishi Heavy Industries President Kazuo Tsukuda looked solemn.

Originally, they were not worried about Shenlong cars at all. This energy-saving and environmentally friendly car cannot be compared with Japanese cars at all, and because it is too "energy-saving and environmentally friendly" in nature, it must lose a lot of points in the car performance that car fans pay most attention to.

But the result is that after the car was launched, after evaluation, due to its small displacement, it is indeed not as good as those conventional cars in terms of instantaneous acceleration, but the maximum speed is not much inferior, which is undoubtedly beyond the expectations of all car manufacturers. And it is precisely because of its not inferior maximum speed that it has achieved such a good result at its extremely low price advantage. Japanese automakers are naturally deeply worried about this result.

"Don't worry, my people have already entered 'Dongfeng Motor' and will report back in a secret letter soon. Don't worry!" said Tatsuro Toyota confidently.

If the "Shenlong Automobile" really has some amazing technology this time, then they will definitely plagiarize it. Japan's automobile industry must definitely lead the world, and China must not allow its heavy industry to develop.

"Well, Toyota, this time it concerns the reputation of our entire Japanese automobile industry. If you have any difficulties, just tell us. This time we will work together to defeat Lin Feng and "Shenlong Automobile", as well as the hope of China's automobile manufacturing industry!" Honda Hirotoshi said with a fist.

"Yes, defeat the hope of China's automobile manufacturing industry in one fell swoop!" Mitsubishi Heavy Industries President Tsukuda Kazuo also stood up.

"Well, don't worry, we will definitely not fail this time!" Toyota Tatsuro said firmly.

At this time, Lin Feng had already returned to Shanghai on his own private plane. Looking at the time, it was already evening. After thinking about it, he did not contact Wu Zhaopu to find out how the "nostalgic game" was progressing. This matter should wait until tomorrow. Now, let's go home first. I haven't eaten home meals for a long time, but Lin Feng is drooling just thinking about it.

"Hi, little Youxi, come and call daddy!" Lin Feng just returned home and saw everyone teasing Lin Youxi. Seeing the one-year-old Lin Youxi babbling and taking his first steps, Lin Feng felt warm in his heart and went over to hug Lin Youxi.

"Dad!" Lin Youxi suddenly babbled.

Lin Feng was startled! He looked at the cute Lin Youxi with a look of surprise.

"What did I hear just now?" Lin Feng shouted with an incredible surprise.

"Stupid, of course little Youxi called you daddy!" Lin Zhihui gave Lin Feng a look of contempt.

"Little Youxi, call me daddy again." Lin Feng hugged Lin Youxi excitedly.

"Dad!" This time, Lin Youxi called more fluently.

"Haha, my little Youxi can call daddy, can call daddy!" Lin Feng kept spinning around while holding Lin Youxi.

You know, although Lin Feng is only 24 years old, he is actually 34 years old (30 years old before rebirth, 4 years after rebirth). Although he is not that old in his heart and still feels very young, he still has a very wonderful feeling about being a father. At this moment, when he heard Lin Youxi calling him dad, a feeling of happiness instantly filled his heart.

At this moment, Lin Feng felt much happier than making billions of dollars.

"Okay, you are so old, but you are still like a child. If your employees see this, they will laugh at you!" Lin's father came over and criticized unhappily.

At this moment, no criticism can affect Lin Feng's good mood. Therefore, he didn't care about Lin's father's criticism.

"Okay, let's eat quickly. If you keep making trouble, the food will get cold." Lin's mother also came over.

"Okay, little Youxi, eat. Dad will feed you today, okay!" Lin Feng hugged Lin Youxi lovingly and was reluctant to let go.

"You like children so much, why don't you have more? That way we can have more grandchildren!" Lin's mother asked expectantly.

The girls blushed.

"Okay, no problem, let's start tonight." Lin Feng was happy at the moment and nodded in agreement immediately. But how could he say this so loudly? Naturally, Li Zhiyou and Huang Meixi's faces turned redder, all the way to their ears. But the two of them were very happy in their hearts. You know, they have been looking forward to this for a long time.

That night, of course, it was a program not suitable for children. After a night of romance, Lin Feng came to the company in high spirits the next day.

"Boss, do you know what game copyright we got?" Wu Zhaopu mysteriously took out a familiar game cartridge - "Contra"!
