Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 352: Professional Racing Team

After reviewing Zhang Bing’s information, Chen Yiyang decided that this person was worth investing in.

Of course, what he valued wasn’t Zhang Bing’s motorcycle skills or his entrepreneurial abilities, but rather something else.

Chen Yiyang instructed his assistant to contact Zhang Bing and invite him to meet in Lin’an.

Upon receiving Chen Yiyang’s invitation, Zhang Bing didn’t hesitate and promptly flew to Lin’an.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang," Chen Yiyang said, shaking hands with Zhang Bing.

"No, no," Zhang Bing quickly responded upon hearing Chen Yiyang’s address, "I’m just an ordinary motorcycle rider now. You can just call me Xiao Zhang, Mr. Chen."

"You’re older than me, so I’ll call you Brother Zhang." Chen Yiyang gestured for Zhang Bing to sit down, and the two began discussing Kaiyue Motorcycle.

"Actually, I’m also at fault here," Zhang Bing said after organizing his thoughts, and then spoke to Chen Yiyang, "Participating in the Dakar Rally is my dream.

From a young age, I’ve hoped to represent Huaxia’s motorcycles and compete against other top teams in the rally.

However, although Kaiyue Motorcycle has been established for several years, it’s still, ultimately, a small factory.

Given the current economic environment, it’s already good that Kaiyue Motorcycle manages to survive on its own, and yet I’ve been asking Kaiyue Motorcycle to bear the costs of the team’s participation in various competitions.

The investors were dissatisfied with this, and then they kicked me out of the company, which I understand."

"Are you planning to participate in various professional competitions in the future?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"Of course, I still want to," Zhang Bing wasn’t entirely sure why the well-known investor Chen Yiyang suddenly wanted to meet with him.

But he still laid out his recent plans.

"I’m planning to establish a new motorcycle brand and, once the new brand makes money, I’ll take the motorcycles from the new brand to continue entering competitions."

When Zhang Bing said this, there wasn’t a hint of hesitation in his tone.

Having come from a poor family and emerged from a mountain village.

Participating in international motorcycle competitions is his lifelong dream, and he won’t give up.

"I agree with your idea," Chen Yiyang spoke up at this time, "I believe that whether it’s a motorcycle or automobile company, if newcomers want to break into the existing market and compete on the same stage with other established companies, they must gain notoriety in relevant competitions.

Otherwise, how do you persuade customers to believe that your new company produces vehicles that are superior to those from other companies?"

"I don’t really have such deep thoughts; I just want to compete," Zhang Bing said after listening to Chen Yiyang, scratching the back of his head.

"Here’s the thing, you’re planning to establish a new motorcycle brand, right? How much do you plan to invest?"

"I haven’t found investors yet, but I estimate that a few tens of millions should be enough," Zhang Bing said, "I’m planning to use existing mature technology and parts to assemble my motorcycles.

Since I’m a motorcycle rider myself, I have quite a bit of insight into tuning motorcycles.

Although the parts are purchased externally, coupled with my tuning techniques, I have the confidence to assemble competition-grade motorcycles that can rival those from top factories."

"I’ll invest one hundred million," Chen Yiyang said directly, "This money will purely be an investment and won’t interfere with your company’s control or ideas. But I have another condition."

"What is it?" Zhang Bing was not overwhelmed by the sudden offer of a hundred million and was keen to hear Chen Yiyang’s conditions.

"I hope you can help me develop a professional competition logistics and operations team. This team can join you in participating in various competitions initially, and I’ll be responsible for their salaries."

When Chen Yiyang said this, Zhang Bing immediately understood Chen Yiyang’s intention.

"Mr. Chen, I heard you have also started an automobile company." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Yes," Chen Yiyang nodded, "Although the first model from my company hasn’t been produced yet, I’m confident that its performance won’t lose out to those from top factories.

So, I need a professional team to take the car and compete in various professional-grade circuits once it’s produced."

Chen Yiyang’s main purpose in investing in Zhang Bing was for this matter.

If the automobile produced by Yiyang Automobile wants to garner widespread attention upon its introduction.

The best way is to have it challenge professional circuits and speak through results.

Of course, this inevitably requires a professional logistics and management team.

If they wait until they need to participate in competitions to hire people, it might be difficult, on one hand, to find a desirable team.

On the other hand, it would be hard to ensure that a group of temporary hires would fully commit to the responsibility.

So, Chen Yiyang plans to have Zhang Bing bring out a team first.

Then, when Yiyang Automobile requires it, they’ll hire some professional racing personnel to join the team.

This way, the team not only has experience, but also loyalty, and professionalism.

Hearing Chen Yiyang’s words, Zhang Bing immediately felt that accepting the one hundred million investment was worthwhile.

He patted his chest and said to Chen Yiyang, "Rest assured, Mr. Chen, I will definitely bring out the most professional racing team in the country for you."

"Alright, I’ll leave this to you then," Chen Yiyang nodded.

Only partners bound by interests and cooperation of this nature are the most reassuring.

Chen Yiyang finally resolved a problem for Yiyang Automobile with this opportunity.

After discussing details with Zhang Bing and sending him off, Chen Yiyang also asked the driver to take him to the airport to pick up a friend.

"Director Rao, it’s been a while since we last connected. What brings you in such a rush this time? Is it that you’ve incurred some romance debt somewhere and have come here to take refuge?"

At the airport, Chen Yiyang jested as he shook hands with Director Rao Zhi, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

"If it were truly that way, I’d be a bit more relaxed," Director Rao Zhi replied with a face full of worry, forcing a smile at Chen Yiyang before saying, "I’ve come to you for help this time."

"What’s wrong?" Upon seeing Rao Zhi like this, Chen Yiyang realized he wasn’t joking. He invited Rao Zhi into the car while concernedly asking what trouble Rao Zhi had encountered.

Once they got into the car, Chen Yiyang and Rao Zhi settled in the back of the business car and started chatting.

"Remember the movie project I mentioned last time we met?" Rao Zhi asked.

"Which project? Is it a movie project?" Chen Yiyang honestly didn’t recall.

His last meeting with Rao Zhi was quite a while ago.

Having been busy day after day, many small, unimportant matters had long been forgotten.

"The one that Director Gong Fan passed on to me," Rao Zhi said.
