Chapter 2388 Just coming to investigate

Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui were a well-known golden duo in the Chinese automotive industry in the 1980s and 1990s.

Lu Ningjun was a paratrooper. In 1982, he was transferred from the army to the special police force to teach special car driving. From 1985 to 1996, he participated in all seven Hong Kong Crystal Rally.

The best result was the runner-up in the 2nd Hong Kong Crystal Rally in 1986, and the champion of Group N and Group N4 of the Hong Kong Crystal Rally for several consecutive times.

In 1992, he represented the Mitsubishi Marlboro team in the Bali-Moscow-Beijing cross-country rally. From 1997 to 1999, he represented the Shedian Mitsubishi Rally Team in the National Automobile Rally Championship and the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship.

During this period, he won the National Rally Championship individual championship five times and the annual individual championship title twice.

From 2000 to last year, Lu Ningjun, who was already 45 years old, represented the Honghe Rally Team in the National Automobile Rally Championship and the Asia-Pacific Rally Championship, winning four stage championships and one annual championship.

He has been awarded the Best Driver in Asia and Best Chinese Driver many times.

It can be said that this pair was among the top drivers in Asia at that time.

Zhou Liming is really resourceful. He actually invited this pair of great players. It’s not easy!

I must tell my sister-in-law that this guy might become a spirit, and there's no guarantee that he might have a mistress outside someday, so she must be kept a close eye on.

If you run away in the future, don’t blame your brother-in-law for not reminding you.

Lu Ningjun arrived in Jiangwei on time on March 5th.

Zhou Liming sent a special person and car to pick up Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui at Bohai Airport and take them to Jiangwei.

When the car passed Hongya County, the two drivers were very disappointed. Did they drive into a remote mountain valley?

When the car arrived in Jiangwei, they were surprised to find that the place they thought was remote and poor turned out to be so prosperous.

Although it is not worth mentioning compared with big cities, it is already outstanding and outstanding compared with here at the county town and county-level city level.

Although there are no skyscrapers that are dozens of stories high, there are many buildings that are ten or eight stories high.

The streets are bustling with traffic, and you can see all kinds of vehicles parked on the roadside or driving on the road, among which the proportion of sedans is quite high.

This aroused their strong interest in this place.

Where is this place?

Nanwan’s reception for Lu Ningjun was of a very high standard, and the company’s vice president Zhu Yong personally came out to receive him.

Wan Feng is not arrogant, but his daughter caught a cold, so he accompanied her to the district hospital for treatment.

Although her mother is as quiet as water, her daughter also has a crazy side.

Last night, Luan Feng played a rural martial arts film at home. The scene of people fighting shirtless somehow irritated Master Wan.

This guy took off his clothes, bare-chested, and practiced martial arts in the middle of the room with a plastic knife.

Since he was five years old, Wan Feng has taught his son some martial arts routines intentionally or unintentionally as a form of physical exercise.

Wan Chongyang got up and practiced martial arts with his bare chest. The little girl saw that it was fun, so she also practiced martial arts with her bare chest behind her brother.

The two stupid women were actually watching and laughing.

Wan Feng happened to be at Han Guangjia Hotel with Han Meng and Zhao Gang last night.

Since last year, these people have stopped following Wan Feng around and have focused on running their business.

They didn't get together during the Chinese New Year. Last night, Han Guangjia called Wan Feng and told him that Brother Han and Brother Zhao were with him and asked if he wanted to come over.

Of course he had to go there, so he drove there.

Han Guangjia now has another responsibility, which is to temporarily guide the four drivers selected by Nanwan Group in driving.

Guan Dahai and the other three people selected by the test team stopped testing with the team before the New Year. Since the coach has not arrived yet, Wan Feng temporarily entrusted Han Guangjia to help practice.

While driving, Han Guangjia still had something in his stomach.

When Wan Feng arrived at the hotel, he naturally drank and chatted, and didn't come back until almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

The next morning, Zhang Xuan went to work at the Qidian Center, and Painter Luan went to the Cultural Palace to paint.

When Wan Chongyang went to school, Wan Yu caught a cold.

When Wan Feng saw his daughter's face flushed and her breathing quickened, he was startled. He and Wen Zhongguo quickly drove Wan Yu to the Development Zone Hospital.

The diagnosis was that I had a cold and the doctor recommended an IV drip.

A child this young needs an IV drip for a cold? Isn't that ridiculous!

If I start giving you an IV drip now, how long will it take?

When Wan Feng was a child, he usually took two fever-reducing pills for a cold, and that was it. Now he’s gotten over it, hasn’t he?

Wan Feng didn't let the child get an IV drip. He just took a fever-reducing pill, got some medicine and came back.

Wan Feng came to the group only after he stayed at home until his daughter fell asleep.

Because of the delay in going back and forth, he missed the ceremony to welcome Lu Ningjun and come to announce his arrival.

Although he missed the reception ceremony, he still arrived in time for lunch.

After some pleasantries at the table, Wan Feng and Lu Ningjun came to Baogui to chat while eating.

Neither of them drank alcohol, so Wan Feng just drank tea with them.

During the meal, Wan Feng introduced the situation of Nanwan Group to the two great men and also asked some questions about car racing.

After all, racing is an unfamiliar field and he only knows the basics.

If you don’t understand, ask and you will understand. If you pretend to understand, you will really not understand.

"Mr. Wan! You just said that your Nanwan Group manufactures cars. Do you mean that you use your own cars for racing?"

How novel! Why would I use other people's cars to form a fleet? To advertise for them!

"That's what I mean."

Wan Feng's answer made Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui very disappointed.

Although they have participated in racing since 1985, have studied abroad seven times, and have driven more than a dozen different types of racing cars, they have never touched a domestic car.

Moreover, they are obsessed with competitions and training all day long and have no time to get in touch with society. They really don’t know that there is a car manufacturing company called Nanwan in China.

They only knew a little about the situation in South Bay when someone contacted them last year, but not very deeply.

The reason they came to Nanwan to negotiate was that they were impressed by Nanwan’s offer.

It turns out that no matter what, they are considered to be people within the system. Although they look glamorous in front of others after so many years of racing, their income is actually not that much.

Now both of them are in their forties and it’s time to think about their future.

Besides, they want to set up a car sports club, which requires a lot of money.

They have many sponsors, so this time they not only came to Nanwan, but also wanted to visit Changqi.

They had already had contact with BAIC before coming.

In simple terms, they are here to investigate these sponsors.

If Nanwan had not offered his team an annual salary of five million, they would not even come to investigate this place and company that they had no impression of.
