The team will naturally receive a warm welcome when they return home with honors.
Feedback from the sales department shows that since the team's registration for the competition was broadcast on CCTV and some provincial and municipal TV stations in late August, the sales of Dingfeng Automobile have begun to rise sharply.
Sales of the diesel version, which had previously been a slow seller, have also doubled.
The effect began to appear in September, and by the end of October, sales of the gasoline version had increased by 40 percent compared with the same period last year.
The diesel version saw sales increase by 13 percent compared to the same period last year.
With this calculation, maintaining a fleet of cars is not a loss-making business even if it costs tens of millions a year.
A group's annual advertising expenses are more than this amount of money.
On the second day after the team returned, Wan Feng distributed the bonuses that the team deserved, totaling 6.1 million.
When the team won its first race championship, Wan Feng promised that in the future, the team would receive a bonus of one million yuan for each championship, 600,000 yuan for the runner-up, and 300,000 yuan for the third place.
Get 100,000 points for the team.
In the past few months, Lu Ningjun won two races, one overall championship and the team championship, which makes four championships.
Guan Dahai won one first place in a race, two third places and one third place in the team.
In addition, other players also won two team points.
Five championships, three third places and two points, according to Wan Feng's promise, the total is 6.1 million.
This money will be distributed to each person according to a certain ratio. The front-line drivers will get a little more, and the logistics drivers will get a little less.
Champion drivers Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui each received 200,000 yuan, as did Guan Dahai's team.
Ordinary drivers each received a bonus of 170,000 yuan.
The other staff members of the team were treated equally, with each receiving 140,000 yuan.
This is how Wan Feng divided the more than 40 people in the team.
Of course there is a gap.
But since the points were given by Wan Feng himself, the people in the team couldn't say anything.
Wan Feng did this to prevent quarrels among the team members, otherwise he would not have personally come out to distribute the money.
After all, people are different. Some people don't care about anything, while others are always picky.
Wan Feng made the decision on the distribution, so there was no point in nitpicking.
After the bonuses were distributed, Wan Feng and Lu Ningjun came to Baogui for a long conversation, which mainly focused on two aspects.
The first is to expand the size of the team. Starting from 2004, the Nanwan team will begin to enter the domestic rally competition.
After a few years of adaptation, we will enter the rally scene in Asia and even the world.
Only by participating in competitions extensively can the team's influence grow day by day, and of course the advertising effect will also be expanded.
Wan Feng plans to use part of the group's vehicle advertising fees to operate the fleet.
Anyway, with so much money, invest less in empty print ads and more in three-dimensional racing cars.
Three-dimensional advertisements are definitely more effective than mechanical ones.
Of course, the top priority next year is the Dakar Rally in which Lu Ningjun will participate.
Lu Ningjun fully agreed with the suggestion of participating in the rally.
Although he won three circuit race championships in a row this year, circuit races are not very exciting for him who comes from a rally background.
Rally is still more exciting.
Another thing is about setting up a modification company.
Wan Feng decided to hand this matter over to Lu Ningjun and asked him to set up a modification company specializing in modifying racing cars.
This company is a completely independent company. The start-up capital is advanced by Wan Feng, Nanwan Group can provide technical support, and all the company's profits belong to Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui.
What Nanwan Group requires is that the new technologies generated during vehicle modification can be shared by Nanwan Group.
Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui are 45 and 46 respectively. How many more years can they run?
After I retire in the future, this will serve as a pension insurance.
This market is destined not to be too large but is also destined to exist. With the technical support of Nanwan Group, Wan Feng believes that this company will continue to grow.
Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui also strongly supported this suggestion.
This is equivalent to Nanwan Group training a team for him. If his team can modify the car well, he naturally doesn't have to pay money to foreigners, and he can also modify it according to his own ideas.
They acted immediately and established the Brothers Auto Modification Company in the fleet’s base, the old instant noodle factory.
The people in Lu Ningjun's team have done some research on racing car modification. Now with the support of such a powerful company as Nanwan Group, they will soon have some ideas on car modification.
They described the parts used by foreign modified car companies to modify their vehicles. The technical department of Nanwan analyzed them and then developed and manufactured them through material matching.
Those that cannot be produced temporarily will be imported through foreign trade channels.
First, use South Bay’s own peak to conduct a small-scale renovation test.
Not only the top of the mountain was used, the Qingfeng Great Wall was also used as a test object.
Just a few days after the modification company was established, people from Jiangwei came to them to modify their vehicles.
There are still racing enthusiasts, and many people in Jiangwei have the ability to play low-end racing cars, so there is some business.
Of course, these cars only have minor modifications, such as changing the suspension and installing a supercharger on the engine to increase horsepower.
The money spent is not much, just a few thousand or tens of thousands, so these people can still afford it.
As for whether the traffic police will find out and impose a fine, this is not a concern for the modification company.
After the convoy returned, Luan Feng could finally start pursuing her ambitions.
Under the guidance and organization of Lai Baogui, the Nanwan Women's Fengxiang Team was soon officially established.
The driver was recruited by Lai Baogui through his own connections.
Ever since the Fengxiang Racing Team was established, it has become difficult for the Wan family to see Luan Feng.
Wan Feng seriously suspected that Luan Feng had become a disciple of Sun Wukong, because every day when he came back at night, his hands were either covered in red or his face was covered in bruises.
Are you going to learn judo?
Luan Feng naturally didn't dare to say that she practiced driving.
From the day the team was formed, she became the happiest person in the world, just like birds flying into the sky and pheasants hiding in the grass.
The team currently has six racing cars, and she has one of them all to herself, driving it to the Black Lagoon test track every day for practice.
Isn't it normal to have some injuries on your face and body?
How could she dare to say that she crashed during practice since Wan Feng didn't allow her to be a driver?
Nanwan Group did not launch any new cars in 2003, but it is expected to launch new cars in 2004.
In the midst of all this busyness, the year 2003 passed quietly.
Looking back at the year 2003, some lucky people were born but some unfortunate people died.
The more influential ones are the three big names of Yila Ke’s president.
He was captured by US forces in his hometown of Tikrit on December 3 and hanged a few months later.
Another unfortunate person was the Hong Kong star Anita Mui, who did not survive 2003.
He passed away on December 30th.
