Xie Tiancheng took Zhang Yifei to a bar in Causeway Bay with 300zx.

The name Causeway Bay may be the most familiar place for the mainland in the late 1990s. This is also attributed to the spread of the "Young and Dangerous" series of movies in the mainland, which makes everyone know that there is a leader named Chen Haonan in Causeway Bay.

In this era, many fleets on Hong Kong Island had gangster backgrounds, so the convoys were divided according to the territory. The Queen's fleet's base was in Kowloon, which was a bit far away from where Zhang Yifei lived. Causeway Bay itself is a concentrated entertainment venue in Hong Kong Island. In addition, Xie Tiancheng has a good relationship with Zhao Jun of the Causeway Bay fleet, so he naturally brought him here.

When I parked the car at the door of a bar, the parking guy immediately came over and shouted enthusiastically: "Brother Tiancheng", it can be clearly seen that Xie Tiancheng is a regular visitor here.

Xie Tiancheng also smiled and nodded, then gave the car keys to the parking lot, and gave Zhang Hong Kong dollars by the way.

After taking the car keys and tips, the smile on the parking guy's face became more friendly. He greeted Xie Tiancheng and Zhang Yifei to play inside, and then drove 300zx to park.

"A rich man, it seems you'll treat you tonight."

Zhang Yifei smiled and joked, "A hundred yuan tip is not a small amount in this era, and Xie Tiancheng is indeed well-off."

“I didn’t plan to let you pay.”

Xie Tiancheng has also become accustomed to Zhang Yifei's jokes. This kid always inadvertently reveals a kind of indifference. To be honest, Xie Tiancheng thinks this personality is quite interesting. After all, there are too many cold and domineering people in the racers, and it is rare to be ordinary and easy-going and humorous like Zhang Yifei.

When he came to the bar, the bartender also greeted Xie Tiancheng warmly, then served him a glass of wine and a glass of juice for Zhang Yifei.

It’s not that Zhang Yifei couldn’t drink alcohol. He would drink some occasionally in his previous life, but this body has not yet been established in adulthood. Alcohol can easily numb the nerves and reduce the ability to react. He doesn’t want to take this risk.

"Tell me, how did Wan Chai Car God tell you?"

"No need to be told, he just mentioned to me that he wanted to run with you, so I took the initiative to get in touch."

"It's a pity that you don't have the potential to be a matchmaker."

Zhang Yifei sighed and continued to ask: "I know he had entered the European convoy before, why is he still running on the streets of Hong Kong Island?"

"How do you know this?"

"I told you, what's going on?"

Xie Tiancheng took a sip of wine after hearing this, and then said in a tone of regret: "Zhou Yunhui has liked racing since he was a child. He often participated in some regional Asian events and also achieved results. Later, he joined the Asian Honda team and became a professional driver."

"Two years ago, he was spotted by the Rich Riders team and signed to become a development driver. If everything goes well, he is likely to become the No. 3 driver of the Rich Riders team and try the DTM. You should know that there has never been a Chinese driver who has the opportunity to participate in such a world-class venue event. Maybe Zhou Yunhui can create miracles."

Xie Tiancheng's words made Zhang Yifei nodded in agreement. As a professional driver in later generations, he naturally knew how strong China is in the field race.

There are six top events in the world in the future, namely GT, Defang (dtm), World House, English Car, Australian House, and Championship.

There has never been any Chinese driver in these six major events. This is why, for the first time, he was so shocked when he heard Lu Ningjing say that Zhou Yunhui had entered DTM.

Because this represents historical changes, and it means that Zhou Yunhui is an explosive driver who is qualified to participate in world-class RV events like DTM.

Later, Lu Ningjing said that Zhou Yunhui was just a driver and had not yet gone to Europe to train. Only then did Zhang Yifei feel that he had matched the memory. No wonder he had never heard of a person like Zhou Yunhui in history. It turned out that he had never run away.

"Then why is he in Hong Kong?"

This is what Zhang Yifei is most puzzled at the moment. He has clearly become a development driver, which means that Volvo team trains him as a reserve force. Even if he doesn't have the chance to play in the end, he is much better than running on the streets in a place like Hong Kong Island.

“Because of car gambling.”

"Car Gambling?"

Zhang Yifei was shocked. He had thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that Zhou Yunhui was gambling for a car.

It is very expensive to train a professional driver, and there is no doubt that there is no doubt about it. If you don’t talk about f1, it is simply made of gold. For ordinary field racers or rally drivers, it is probably a level of tens of millions.

But this is not a bottomless pit. As long as you have certain achievements, you will get the team share with manufacturers, brand sponsorship, and event broadcasting rights. If you have a little more fame, it will not be difficult to reach the national level of Han Han, or accept advertising endorsements.

Take Schumacher, the most valuable F1 driver, for example. His annual income exceeds 100 million US dollars. No matter how much the racing car has been burned before, it is probably less than 100 million. So as long as he becomes famous, he can make money back.

As long as Zhou Yunhui runs well, shows his strength, and gets the first Chinese to run DTM. Not to mention anything else, at least the manufacturers and brands can’t escape the sponsorship, and the income of millions of dollars a year is easy.

All have reached this point, and you have to worry about making a profit and not losing money. You have to think about it and try to get a car gambling thing?

Gambling a car will give him more than a million benefits. After all, Asian racing is not as popular as basketball and football these days. Even if there is a market quota, the market will not be much bigger, and it is impossible to offer sky-high rewards.

"I'm surprised, right? To be honest, this kind of thing broke out at that time, and everyone was shocked. I didn't expect Zhou Yunhui to do such a thing."

"But later, as the Asian Racing Federation's investigation deepened, Zhou Yunhui participated in underground car gambling events. He did not collect money, so he only dealt with illegal racing."

"But when this kind of thing broke out, Zhou Yunhui naturally had no way to stay in the Rich Convoy. It could have been a bright future, so he could only return to Hong Kong Island in disgrace."

When Xie Tiancheng spoke at the end, his expression on his face was also a sigh. He is a driver who truly loves racing and hopes that a top Chinese driver will appear. Zhou Yunhui once had this opportunity, but missed it.

"I can't understand this even more. He wants to run on the streets and can't run, and he insists on participating in car gambling events. It's okay to get money, but it's a reason at least, he doesn't even have to make any money?"

Street racing could not affect careers at all in the late 1990s, at least in Asia. The reason is very simple. Take China for example. China Automobile United was separated from the Motorcycle Association in 1993 and became an independent organization managing automobile sports.

Professional clubs and drivers all need to go to official institutions to register and get a racing driver's license, rather than claiming to be a profession. Before, there was no official direct agency, so there was naturally no such thing as a profession.

So in a sense, the first batch of professional drivers in China ran across the streets in the 1980s and 1990s, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it. Even in Japan, where professional sports are relatively developed, the prototype of Takumi Tuohai, Tuoya, before entering the profession, he drifted on the mountain road, and before entering the f1, he ran on the coast of Tokyo Bay, which is also a common phenomenon.
