The Lin family's objective was clear: to achieve technical monopolization in the field of racing.
As fellow business magnates, Song Yi, with his sharp business acumen, immediately grasped the underlying reason.
The new always replaces the old; it's the same in every field.
No matter how capable the young master of the Lin family was, there would come a day when he retired. The book says.
Song Yi knew very well that the Lin family's current resurgence was most likely due to that young man from the Lin family. Once the young Lin family member retired, the Lin family's business, which relied on Lin Yan, would inevitably be affected.
What Lin Guoxiong was doing now was to extend Lin Yan's current influence indefinitely. If Lin Yan retired, or if his performance declined later and he could no longer compete, the benefits he brought to the Lin family would diminish.
However, with the Lin family's current actions, through the cultivation of clubs and academies, China would undoubtedly produce other geniuses in the future.
Once these geniuses emerged, they would inevitably appear under the Lin family's banner, or even as disciples of Lin Yan.
For a long time, it was probable that all Chinese drivers on the racing circuit in the future would become part of the Lin family. If one Lin Yan retired, the next would take his place.
Moreover, even if those who followed were to become exceptionally skilled, they would still carry the titles of Lin Yan's disciples and Lin family trainees.
With the capabilities of the Lin family's two GP drivers, it was not difficult for this academy to technically monopolize all of China's racing drivers.
The more Song Yi thought about it, the more he realized how grand Lin Guoxiong's strategy was.
However, with him around, he would absolutely not allow that old fellow Lin Guoxiong to have it so easy.
"How is Zhang Dong's preparation coming along?"
Song Yi asked the secretary standing beside him.
"Mr. Song, Zhang Dong sent word that everything is ready, and that driver has been controlled."
The secretary replied honestly.
Upon hearing this, Song Yi nodded. After his own son was beaten to such an extent, it was time to let Lin Guoxiong taste a similar experience.
...........................................................
The next morning, the two of them got out of bed. As Lin Yan opened his eyes, his phone on the bedside table rang. Su Mojin picked it up and handed it to him.
Pulling his wife closer, Lin Yan's gaze sharpened as he looked at the photo on his phone.
Ben Tian's new factory car.
The Os race was about to begin. Reisner had unveiled the appearance of the new racing car at his hometown press conference, and the winglets had indeed been upgraded.
However, the chief engineer of Ben Tian did not make an appearance at the press conference, which was a good thing. But it was also possible that this was a tactic by Ben Tian.
Speaking of which, the qualifying session for the Os race was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and he should start preparing for the competition.
Although Lin Yan did not need to over-train in this second life, he could not neglect the pre-race preparations.
As usual, he did two hundred push-ups after waking up, and then Lin Yan began to eat breakfast.
Today, he planned to train by himself to prepare for the competition.
In the morning, Su Mojin prepared six dishes, which Lin Yan enjoyed immensely. After a hearty meal, Lin Yan rushed to the racetrack. Su Mojin also had to go and study finance with Blanche, and both of them were quite busy with their respective tasks.
Yesterday, ten people from Lin Yan's academy had been training on the track for an entire afternoon, led by Zhou Xianyong. Their training plan was specifically designed by Lin Yan and was completely different from other racing training facilities in China.
With Zhou Xianyong's current skill level, he was more than capable of training them.
Lin Yan arrived at the pit lane, mounted the GP22, and with a rev of the throttle, the car drove out of the pit lane.
The roaring engine sound echoed through the pit lane area of the racetrack.
The students training on the track all turned their heads to look.
Is there a new person? No, this engine sound is not normal.
Lin Yan's figure emerged from the pit lane area. Seeing the factory car with the number 27 livery, everyone was overjoyed. Could their guess from yesterday be correct, that they would indeed be training with the "Lin God"?
Yesterday, some of them had speculated that the "Lin God" might also be training on this track, and they hadn't expected it to be true.
For convenience, Zhang Mingzhi had dispatched one-third of his staff to the Nian An Race Track yesterday. To help Lin Yan tune the factory car, the technicians previously dispatched were not quite up to par for fine-tuning the factory car.
With these factory team technicians present, it was also beneficial for the training of these students.
Lin Yan drove the factory car, speeding along the track with exceptional fluidity.
"As expected of the Lin God, he's truly amazing!"
A driver exclaimed, watching Lin Yan's movements. They were all around the same age, so why was the "Lin God" so powerful?
At twenty years old, he was already a top rider in MotoGP. Some of them, at twenty, hadn't even touched the threshold of Moto3.
Compared to them, Lin Yan was far superior. Lin Yan had entered Moto3 at sixteen and won the world vice-championship in his first year. The following year, at seventeen, he had won his first world championship.
Winning a Moto3 world championship and entering Moto3 were two different concepts. Some people might spend their entire lives in Moto3 and never win a championship.
In other words, even Jiang Qiyan, who was the most talented among them, if compared to Lin Yan, her current strength might not even match Lin Yan at fourteen years old. At fourteen, Lin Yan was already the champion of the Asian Junior Cup.
If not for the minimum age limit of sixteen for Moto3 at the time, Lin Yan's first world championship might have come even earlier.
ps: The Asian Junior Cup was mentioned earlier, and it's worth mentioning again. The eligible age is 13-19 years old, and it is a necessary pathway to advance to Moto3.
