If Qin Miao only had a certain reputation among the high-levels of the team and so audience who specifically followed lower-level formula races and dostic fans when he was dominating F2, then after entering F1, he only left an impression in the hearts of those who watched F1.
"Oh, this young man is very capable, caught Toto’s eye, and luckily entered rcedes."
And with Qin Miao’s two races on the F1 track, each more stunning than the last, winning a grand prix in a twist of fate in the second race, Qin Miao’s comrcial value instantly soared at a visible speed.
Moreover, due to Qin Miao’s nationality, many dostic and foreign companies ca to Qing seeking cooperation with Qin Miao after he achieved good results on the F1 track.
Of course, Qing also believes that while he’s so busy he barely has ti to step out, the business departnt on the rcedes side is probably working overti as well.
With Qin Miao’s excellent performance on the track, his attention in his ho country would naturally increase, and wealthy dostic companies certainly wouldn’t mind sponsoring rcedes for so exposure abroad.
Therefore, after showering, Qin Miao looked sowhat surprised at the stack of docunts on his desk.
Without disturbing Qing, who had worked all day, Qin Miao picked up the contracts and studied them for a while.
In fact, these were contracts sought according to Qin Miao’s requirents, with very little workload, mostly just for portrait rights, then helping sponsors with a voice recording or a video. If Qin Miao exerted so effort, he could fulfill all the contract requirents in a day.
However, Qin Miao did not decisively sign all these contracts as he used to, not because he didn’t trust Qing, or because he doesn’t need money anymore, but because he has other considerations.
Honestly, the current Qin Miao is sowhat resentful of his identity as the number two driver.
Toto’s team orders were a wake-up call for Qin Miao. If he’s just a driver, in Toto’s eyes, he becos a role that can be manipulated at will.
If he doesn’t want to be played around by Ferrari or be asked to do things he doesn’t want to do, Qin Miao needs to have a background, strength, and soone backing him up.
But with Qin Miao’s social skills, knowing so big shots inside the paddock to back him up is not impossible, but it can be said to be as difficult as climbing to the skies.
So Qin Miao has to open up new paths and look for new strategies: finding sponsors, big sponsors!
Since connections don’t work, then go with funds.
Next ti Toto gives team orders, he’ll have to consider whether the sponsors agree or not.
After all, Qin Miao is quite confident about himself and those big bosses dostically. He believes many companies might choose to sponsor rcedes because of his current influence back ho.
Also, so foreign companies looking to expand into the dostic market are probably hoping he has more voice and screen presence on the track.
At the sa ti, Qin Miao believes Hamilton’s words were not baseless; he indeed envies the winery Hamilton owns and likes its atmosphere.
Though now Qin Miao has enough cash to buy a winery of the sa standard as Hamilton’s, and even purchasing a dieval castle in England isn’t impossible for him.
But Qin Miao learned from his casual chat with Hamilton that even though Hamilton bought the winery and sold so wine, it’s still operating at a long-term loss.
It’s just that Hamilton has money, so he doesn’t care about that loss.
Qin Miao can afford such assets now, but the maintenance and upkeep costs afterwards aren’t much cheaper than purchasing them.
Moreover, once bought, the UK governnt has its demands on you; you have to maintain your castle well because, to so extent, it’s considered a historical relic.
Qin Miao is currently just earning a fixed salary, and he simply can’t support such a place.
Thinking about this, Qin Miao put down his contracts and turned to call out to the door, "Honey, I need to talk to you."
In a little while, Qing ca in, sowhat surprised that Qin Miao didn’t imdiately accept the very lenient contracts but still nodded patiently, "Go ahead, I’m listening."
"I want to earn money and have so voice in the paddock, so I’m thinking of changing a batch of contracts, preferably the ones with more money."
Qing paused for a while, then scratched her head sowhat helplessly.
Even though she truly loves Qin Miao, this guy’s thinking is a bit too erratic, and with Qin Miao’s one sentence, the work she did all day essentially becos wasted.
This indeed confirms the saying: the boss moves his lips and the subordinates run their legs off.
But what can Qing do? She chose her husband, so she’ll spoil him.
...
The two of them chatted at ho for over two hours, and Qin Miao laid out his general ideas and goals to Qing, who took notes while ntally sifting through the partnership applications she’s received recently, and simply filtered out so contracts that t Qin Miao’s requirents.
On the next day, Qin Miao returned to his routine training. Notably, he reduced his physical training volu, just maintaining the amount needed to prevent physical decline, while dedicating all the freed-up ti to improving his driving skills.
