Chapter 252 Sister, what do you think about Smith?
Conrad Hotel in Indianapolis.
Fourth floor, operating room.
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Fuzhen and his sister Li Xinyu looked at each other awkwardly. In front of them was a young couple kissing passionately.
The man is tall and handsome, even when wearing a suit, one can see his strong body.
The girl was petite and beautiful, her skin condition was rare in white women and at the same time she looked very childish.
This is baby Laura and Abel.
The two are very devoted to each other. Ly sisters, it doesn't matter if you watch it or not. It's not for going, and it's not for going.
Finally, baby Laura became short of breath and her lungs gradually weakened.
Only then did Abel gently pull away, ending the classic French story that had begun after she offered the kiss this time.
"..Feel guilty."
Little Laura blushed and smiled and said to the Ly sisters: "I'm so excited that I've lost my temper.
Li Xinyu really meant that if it were me, I might be worse than you. These are two F1 teams!
What a gift for racing fans. This is even more surprising than the average person winning a 5 million lottery jackpot.
Li Xinyu once secretly thought about owning his own F1 team.
This is not an illusion for the Li family.
With the Li family's financial ability, maintaining an F1 racing team has no pressure. The problem is that in the entire Li family, Li Xinyu is the only real car fan.
In addition, there are other capital sources and individuals who own F1 racing teams.
They own the F1 team, even if it is a team brand like Ferrari and McLaren.
Either to make investment profits or to become famous.
I have never heard of anyone buying an F1 team because of their interests and hobbies. F1 formula cars, if you don't consider the above things, are truly a bottomless pit to swallow money.
The Li family was very wealthy, even the first family of the Han Kingdom.
But it's impossible to invest in something like this bottomless pit, it doesn't help much for the Li family's business.
Li Xinyu also knows this clearly. Unless she gets lucky. Otherwise, she herself would not be able to have her own F1 team in this life.
It was true that her father loved Li Xinyu, the youngest daughter, the most.
His father can also buy him a luxury sports car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions of dollars.
This treatment is much better than his two sisters and one brother.
Just hundreds of thousands of dollars and millions of dollars in gifts. Compared to an annual investment of at least 100-200 million US dollars, this number is nothing.
This also makes Li Xinyu even more jealous of the fact that Laura has two F1 teams.
Mingming was so jealous that he lost his temper in front of little Laura.
Li Xinyu could only bow his head and smile and say: "I can understand your feelings. If I received such a gift, I would probably be so happy that I couldn't sleep for days and nights.
Unfortunately it's not possible. Don't say she has two sisters and one brother.
Even though he was an only child, Li Xinyu still knew his father's personality.
It is impossible to give yourself such a valuable gift.
Two F1 racing teams, how many people in the world can afford to buy such a gift?
"Hahaha ~" Little Laura smiled happily. Currently, most of her body was wrapped around Abel, and no matter what she saw, she felt satisfied with Abel.
"I know you will understand." Little Laura smiled and said to Li Xinyu.
"Alright." Abel gently stroked her hair: "It's just two teams, I didn't even spend much money to buy them, but I will be responsible for their debts in the future, will there be any results in the future? That's the important thing."
Abel buys the Prost and Flying Swords teams.
These two F1 teams together cost him less than four million dollars.
You read that right, it's cheap.
That's four million dollars.
Among them, Prost only spent 1.5 million, and Feijian team was a bit more expensive, 2.5 million. Why so cheap?
Because these two F1 teams are just days away from bankruptcy.
The loans they owe, even the money owed on engines and other accessories, each fleet owes more than hundreds of millions of dollars.
Prost is in debt of $128 million.
The Phi Kiem racing team has a debt of 98 million USD. Even the cost of transporting two convoys from Europe to the US was the final balance of the loan.
The owners of both teams have been trying to sell them since last year.
Formula 1 itself is not a very profitable investment.
The debt of the two racing teams is still piling up and no one can handle it.
Parallel to time and space.
Their two teams, one went bankrupt this year and the other will go bankrupt next year. Team Prost was luckier. After a few years, the corpse was recovered by someone else and reappeared in F1 under a different name.
Flying Sword Team, the most beautifully painted F1 racing car, never appeared again and went bankrupt.
In fact, bankruptcy or bankruptcy are all too common in F1.
Almost every few years, an F1 team goes bankrupt or changes ownership. This is the case every year. F1 team owners change more frequently than any other commercial sports club.
The ratio of input to results in commercial F1 competitions is too low.
Ferrari team has the highest revenue, last year's revenue was 230 million US dollars.
But the group's costs, including engine consumption, amounted to about 180 million US dollars. Profits attributable to the parent company cannot exceed 30 million USD.
This does not include research and development costs.
If Ferrari's research and development spending is spread out, even the Ferrari team will lose money every year.
This means that the Ferrari itself is a sports car.
The research invested in F1 racing cars, newly developed technologies can often be used on regular Ferrari sports cars. This amount is research and development costs, used for two projects.
This way there will be no loss.
The same thing happens with other F1 teams that have their own sports car brands.
While enjoying the fame and popularity of F1 racing, brand your own sports car.
Through the research and development of several F1 technologies, they are distributed on their own regular sports cars. A virtuous circle allows the team and the company to coexist.
This is why nearly all the top F1 racing teams are owned by automakers.
Ferrari, the most successful F1 team, is like this.
Teams at the bottom of the rankings often cannot recoup their costs.
Team Prost and Flying Sword were closed because of this. This makes sense, except for the car manufacturers.
For other outsiders, making a profit in F1 is very difficult indeed.
This is also the reason why Formula 1 racing is getting worse and worse.
In the end, the FIA, always proud, lowered its numbers.
In the future, proactively adopt the electric car model most despised by racers and proactively participate in the FE electric formula car series. Indeed, at that time, the global auto industry had already switched to using new electric power.
F1 does not want to die, it has decisively embraced a new source of energy.
It was this decision that broke the hearts of many traditional racing fans at that time.
Hugging little Laura's shoulders, Abel said to her:
"The team's naming rights have been granted to MGM and Tesla. These two companies will pay the team's expenses going forward."
"And your job is to make them work and make them better and better, so that one day you can put Ferraris, McLarens and Lamborghinis on the market."
Little Laura smiled, revealing a slightly embarrassed expression: "It's too exaggerated. Also, it's too difficult. Those are Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini. And I haven't even graduated yet."
Abel shrugged: "It's not like I'll be in charge right away. The daily management and operations of the team will also be assigned to professional managers. Your job is to be their spiritual leader and keep an eye on team management."
"Oh, that doesn't matter." Little Laura said firmly. Abel silently smiled.
It seems he had no objection to Annie and the others continuing to make films.
He did not object to little Laura finding something to do.
Women have nothing to do.
The end result would only focus their attention on nasty jealousy and palace fights. So it's best to find something for them to do.
The careers and jobs that interest them, attract their attention and consume their energy.
It can also prevent them from spending time and energy on power struggles and jealousy.
So did Annie and the others, and so did baby Laura.
Just be careful, including the color of your hat. Abel will organize what they want to do.
Little Laura and Abel enthusiastically discussed something about the F1 racing team.
Before long, she noticed the two Ly sisters across from her and immediately realized she had been a bit neglectful of them.
"Oh sorry." Little Laura smiled and said to them:
"I'm so excited. Jessica, Anna, I hope you can understand my feelings right now."
Ly Tam Du of course understood, she put herself in her position and thought how happy she would be if she received such a gift. Li Fuzhen didn't understand how much his sister and little Laura loved F1.
Ms. Ly is a smart person and knows what to say at this time.
Ly Phu Chan smiled and said: "It's understandable, Tan Ngoc is also like that."
Li Xinyu also smiled and nodded beside her.
Chatting and chatting, Li Xinyu and little Laura brought up this topic at this year's Formula 1 race in the US.
Abel and Li Fuzhen were depressed again. Li Fuzhen thought of a topic in his mind and prepared to start a conversation with Abel.
She didn't expect Abel to take the initiative to talk to her this time.
"Miss Anna." Abel said: "What position do you hold in Samsvng Group?
This question made Li Fuzhen, who was looking for a topic to talk about, silent.
The truth is that Li Fuzhen because of her marriage was basically eliminated from the Samsvng group after that.
Originally, the chairman of Samsvng group, his father was a very patriarchal person. After Li Fuzhen did something to disobey the elders.
Li Fuzhen was not kicked out of the Li family, that was a compromise, let alone letting Li Fuzhen work in Samsvng group.
Li Fuzhen had no choice but to smile calmly and say:
"I am not currently working for Samsvng group. I'm working in my family's charity fund. In recent years, I often go to America, my parents let me take care of my sisters here."
"What a shame."
Abel smiled and said: "I think I can do business with Samsvng Group through you.
Hearing Abel say that, Ly Phu Chan's heart pounded. She kept a perfunctory expression but began to think quickly: "Mr. Smith, do you want to do business with Samsvng Group?"
As far as Li Fuzhen knows, the future son-in-law of the bush family in front of him mainly works in the fields of finance, media and energy.
Samsvng Group has achieved almost no success in these areas.
If so, it would only be limited to the Han state.
What kind of business will Abel run? Do you want to cooperate with Samsvng Group? "I'm in Silicon Valley in Los Angeles and I have a company. It's an auto manufacturer and it's expected that in the future they'll produce a car that needs a big screen."
Abel said: "I have relatively high requirements for this type of car screen. As far as I know, Samsvng Electronics of Samsvng Group is currently very good at display screens. So I want to cooperate with Samsvng Group to see if it can be customized. My car company needs an electronic screen.
Li Fuzhen doesn't know when Abel entered the automobile industry.
But she knows about car orders. As long as it can be stable, it is an activity worthy of attention for any business or enterprise.
Today, in 2001, in terms of control screens, Samsvng Electronics is indeed the world leader.
The world's first 30-inch LCD monitor and the world's first 40-inch LCD monitor were both developed by Samsvng Electronics.
"Oh, that's what it is." Ly Phu Tran thought, she was trying to think of what she could gain from this.
"If you really need it." Ly Phu Chan had a vague idea, she smiled and said to Abel:
"I can help you contact Samsvng Electronics. After all, the chairman of Samsvng Group is my father.
"That would be great." Abel laughed loudly.
"At first I wanted to ask Miss Jessica. But she's just a student. Now that I'm meeting Miss Anna, please do so."
Ly Phu Chan smiled and said: "That's right." It's just a trivial matter. Xinyu still has to study, don't waste her time.
Li Xinyu, who was talking to little Laura, always paid attention to her sister and Abel.
Now that Li Xinyu heard her sister say this, she couldn't help but think in her heart——
If you only pass on a word, how can you waste my time? It's time to make a few phone calls. This sister, not long ago she was very sad, now she's like this, alas]
"That would be great." » Abel said smiling.
Li Fuzhen smiled gently at Abel, matching his worldly rich temperament, which could be described as unusually charming. The two chatted for a while, and around five o'clock in the evening, the four of them dispersed.
The two Ly sisters are just like Abel and little Laura.
All are located on the top floor of the Conrad Indianapolis hotel, with the most expensive Executive suites.
The rooms are on two sides, one on the east and one on the west.
Abel and little Laura entered the room under the escort of security personnel. The Li sisters quickly returned to their hotel room.
The sisters recently opened a two-bedroom, livable Executive suite.
After entering the room, Li Xinyu just wanted to say something to his sister.
Li Fuzhen accidentally entered the bathroom and went to wash his face and hands.
Li Xinyu had no choice but to go to the living room of the suite. She sat on the sofa, hugging the pillow next to her, waiting for Ly Phu Tran to come out.
After washing her face and hands, Ly Phu Tran came out, saw her sister coming out of her, and continued to look at her.
"What's wrong? Is the makeup on my face smudged? I checked just now, it's okay."
Ly Phu Tran leaned against the mirror in the living room, looked at her makeup, and asked strangely. Li Xinyu said, "Oni, you don't look sad anymore. Your mood is much better.
Li Fuzhen was surprised when he heard his sister's words.
Then the rich and prestigious flower of the Han kingdom came and sat next to her sister.
"Xinyu, don't say I haven't figured it out yet. Yes, my feelings have changed."
Ly Phuc Tran held her sister's hand and gently said:
"Thank you for your company. Without you, I guess my mood wouldn't have improved so quickly. »
Li Xinyu sighed, the little princess of the Li family said:
"Who told me to be so stupid? At that time, everyone was strongly against it. I definitely wanted to marry him! Are you okay now? In the end, it was only me who was hurt, and my family members." love you!"
Look at my sister's serious and angry face when talking about this issue.
Ly Phu Chan smiled bitterly at him: "Who is not young anymore?" Dear Xinyu, my sister has taught me a lesson. Your personality is most similar to mine. I hope you can learn from O'Neill, you know? »
"Of course." Li Xinyu said: "I'm not stupid like you, O'Neill! You've already fallen into the hole, how can I continue to fall into it!"
"If your second sister Hua Tien says these words, I believe she can do it." Ly Phu Chan says:
"But you and I are so similar in some ways, I don't think you can do it. I think you still have to worry about some comparisons."
Li Xinyu didn't think so, she thought how could she be so stupid. It was clear that the eldest sister had fallen into the abyss.
After being taught by the people around me, I could still fall into the same deep hole.
Aren't you a fool?
In fact, most of the world's idiots never think of themselves as idiots.
"Alright." Li Fuzhen took his sister's hand and gently touched it:
"Shower and rest. Maybe your good friend will ask you out later."
"Correct." Li Xinyu nodded.
"I also want to go back to my room to rest. I flew straight from Los Angeles. I couldn't sleep on the plane. I'm very sleepy now." Ly Phu Tran let go of her sister's hand and stood up to speak.
Li Xinyu nodded towards his sister. Li Fuzhen smiled at his sister, turned around and walked towards a bedroom in the executive suite.
At that moment, Ly Phu Tran put his hand on the doorknob and was about to open the door. She suddenly heard her sister's voice behind her.
"Ernie."
"Correct." Li Fuzhen stopped and turned to look at his sister sitting on the sofa.
It was six o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun sets in Indianapolis in June.
The sun shines through the executive suite's giant floor-to-ceiling windows, casting sunset light on Li Xinyu. Because he was sitting, half of Li Xinyu's body was obscured by the setting sun and the other half was in shadow.
This made Li Fuzhen unable to clearly see the expression on his sister's face.
"Ernie."
Li Fuzhen could only hear his sister Li Xinyu say to herself:
"What do you think about that, Mr. Smith?"
Li Fuzhen was surprised.
What is the problem?
Li Fuzhen was confused, she looked at her sister. (end of this chapter)
