Chapter 144 Navigator
"Brother, we're here."
Zhang Chi put down his phone and nodded, "Let's go. Be polite to Old Man Chen when you see him later. Be sweet-mouthed."
"Oh."
Zhang Chi is not here today only to discuss the team's affairs, he also wants Daguang to become Old Man Chen's disciple.
From Chi Qingxuan, Zhang Chi learned a lot about the past of the Chen family father and son.
Only then did I realize how awesome Old Man Chen is.
It is said that even many Japanese convoys had extended olive branches to him.
Old man Chen did go to the Japanese to develop his career for a few years.
One is to learn about other people’s fleet operations, management and operation, and the other is to invest in real estate.
The Japanese devils lived a good life in that era.
Having made money, old man Chen set up a company on the Japanese side, specializing in the import and export trade of auto parts.
Although the scale is not large, it is definitely able to make a profit of one or two million per year.
It is no wonder that Chen Yinlong owns the largest scrapyard in Haisha. It is probably accumulated by his family.
The three got out of the car.
Just about to enter.
Then I saw a beam of light coming from behind me.
Then Long Jinggang greeted him with a smile.
Zhang Chi was stunned when he saw this.
I saw Qiao Linlin and the cute girl getting off the car together, and Gangzi was talking and laughing with the cute girl.
"Uh, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Chi didn't think about following her, he just thought Qiao Linlin came here for something.
Qiao Linlin raised her chin proudly and said nothing.
Zhang Chi had no intention of asking further questions, it was just a coincidence.
A group of people entered the car dealership.
Chen Yinlong had already gone downstairs to greet them in person.
"Haha, Chizi, I knew you were coming, so I specially asked someone to send you a few bottles of good wine. I must drink a few glasses with you tonight no matter what."
Zhang Chi gave a bitter smile, knowing that he couldn't escape the drinking tonight.
As Chen Yinlong spoke, he glanced at Daguang and Gangzi, then at Qiao Linlin and Lu Yao.
Daguang had seen Gangzi once before, and he had also heard Zhao Tianlai mention her. The two girls... should have come together to join in the fun.
Thinking of this, Chen Yinlong smiled politely at Qiao Linlin.
When Zhang Chi saw this scene, he thought that Chen Yinlong and Qiao Linlin knew each other, and it turned out that Chen Yinlong had made an appointment with more than just him.
Only Qiao Linlin and Lu Yao felt a little guilty.
Fortunately, the host, Chen Yinlong, did not ask them why they came, so the two simply pretended to be dumb.
A group of people came upstairs.
There was already a table full of delicious food and several bottles of foreign wine in the office.
Old man Chen sat in the main seat with a smile on his face, motioning for everyone to take their seats quickly.
Fortunately, the bowls and chopsticks were all disposable. Seeing so many people, Chen Yinlong bought a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks and wine glasses.
"Here, these are some packed home-cooked dishes. Everyone, please feel free to eat first and then drink."
As soon as Old Man Chen called out the food, everyone started eating.
It just so happened that we didn't eat anything in the club tonight, and everyone is a little hungry now.
Zhang Chi took a few bites.
I mentioned Daguang's matter casually.
Old Man Chen glanced at Da Guang and nodded, saying, "Then you can ask him to practice with me first. After we decide on the model of the car this time, we will start to disassemble and assemble it continuously, and remember the location of every part of the car."
"I heard you. Call me Master from now on."
Zhang Chi didn't expect that old man Chen would be so straightforward. He smiled and asked Daguang to call him "Master".
Daguan was delighted at first, then he stood up.
Holding the wine glass, he said, "Master, please accept my disciple's greetings."
As he said this, he was about to kneel down, and it seemed that he was going to kowtow to Old Man Chen a few times.
Seeing this, Old Man Chen stood up and supported Daguang, feeling both amused and helpless.
"Wow, this guy has quite a strong hand."
"Alright, alright. This is not the time to talk about that. You're in good shape, so I'll teach you everything I can. How much you can learn depends on your comprehension. Get up."
Daguang looked at Zhang Chi, and when he saw Zhang Chi nodded, he stood up and smiled foolishly.
Seeing this, Old Man Chen glanced at Zhang Chi helplessly.
"It seems like you are the one who did this. This kid is naive, but honest. He was actually fooled by you."
Zhang Chi laughed and said, "I tricked him into kneeling and kowtowed to you three times. This kid must have watched too many martial arts movies."
When Daguang heard this, his face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
That’s right, he learned that just now from a movie.
It turns out that the person who knows him best in this world is his brother!
The relationship between the master and the disciple was thus determined, and everyone was happy to see it.
Especially Qiao Linlin, she felt that she had come to the right place tonight and could actually encounter such a fun thing.
"Now all we need is a navigator."
Zhang Chi heard this and looked at the post nearby.
Old Man Chen also looked at Long Jinggang and frowned, "Are you sure you want this kid to guide you?"
Long Jinggang was startled when he heard this, and quickly said, "No, old man, what's wrong with me? Why do you seem to be not optimistic about me?"
Old man Chen chuckled.
"It's not as if, I just don't think highly of you."
Long Jinggang: “…”
Zhang Chi couldn't help but frown when he heard this and asked, "Old man, why can't Gangzi be a navigator?"
Old man Chen smiled.
At this time, Chen Yinlong, who was sitting opposite, said, "You have never participated in a real race, so you don't know how important a navigator is to a racer. How about this, let's try it out on site and let you experience it."
Zhang Chi and Long Jinggang looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
When it comes to next year's competition, brotherhood has to be put aside for now.
After all, they weren't the only two people in the team.
This fleet also represents the honor of Mr. Chen's family and the promise he made to his deceased wife.

"Turn 1 (U-turn) rarely happens in rally, but you have to remember it.
Usually Turn 12 can be said to be the sharpest turn, commonly known as the hairpin turn, which requires the use of first gear and handbrake to turn.
Although you don't need to use the handbrake for Turn 2, you still need to use first gear.
过23弯就可以提为2挡，而3弯就是90度弯，已经可以用2挡全油门过弯了……”
Chen Yinlong took out a road book and explained it to Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi nodded slightly, indicating that he roughly understood it. In fact, after the actual competition, these all sounded very concise and to the point.
On the other side.
Old man Chen has a sour face.
"LK" means "false left bend", "big R4" means: deep right 4 bend, and the horizontal line below means: immediately following.
The navigator will read this section of the route book like this: false left followed by a big right 4.
120 means that the distance from the previous turn to the next turn is 120 meters.
L7 stands for "Left Turn 7", and the small space between it and the subsequent "Right Turn 67" means that the distance between the two turns is less than 30 meters.
The navigator will pause briefly when reading this.
The TW above the next 60 means that this 60-meter distance is not a straight road.
The following section can be understood as: a 67-meter right turn of 30 meters followed by a deep left turn of 45 meters.
The symbol below 290 indicates the presence of a bridge.
In the last section, L4 into L3 means: gradually changing from left turn 4 to left turn 3, N means to reduce the throttle, and the downward arrow means downhill.
Did you understand, kid?"
Long Jinggang is now very confused. He doesn't understand a word.
This is too fucking complicated!
Chen Yinlong came over to take a look, smiled bitterly, and said, "Dad, why don't we let them try it in actual combat."
Old man Chen looked at Long Jinggang and almost said, "A rotten tree cannot be carved."
"Okay, let's make a small sandbox and try it out."
Chen Yinlong nodded, and then used the food and wine on the table to set up a simple race track. "This cup is your car now. Close your eyes and follow his instructions to run a race."
Zhang Chi took the wine glass, glanced at the winding "track" on the table, and nodded slightly.
At this time.
Old Man Chen walked over and said, "Now that you have all seen the track, you must have some general impression in your mind. It's like you familiarize yourself with the track before participating in the race. However, during the race, every second counts, and sometimes the racers are too focused to recall the past."
Zhang Chi nodded. He had to brake early several times in previous races because of this.
Moreover, he was in an indoor venue, and the biggest obstacle was the tire buffers on both sides of the field.
If it is a race track abroad, a house, a building, a bush, or even a cliff will become the biggest obstruction of the track.
At that time, no one knew whether the road ahead would be a straight line or a fatal sharp turn after rushing over the cliff.
At this time, the role of the navigator is very critical.
"Are you ready?"
Zhang Chi took a deep breath and placed the wine glass on the starting point of the toothpick.
"Ready."
Old Man Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't ask you, I asked him."
Zhang Chi looked back and saw Long Jinggang staring at the "track" on the table with his eyes wide open, muttering to himself.
See Zhang Chi coming.
Long Jinggang then nodded unconfidently and stammered, "I, I remember it."
Old man Chen angrily scolded: "What are you memorizing? Where is your road book?"
"what?"
Long Jinggang looked down and found that his road book was empty, as if there was not a single word written on it.
Old man Chen slapped his forehead speechlessly, probably because he was very angry.
Zhang Chi didn't know what to say.
After all, they are brothers.
Finally, Long Jinggang finished writing the road book under the guidance of Chen Yinlong.
"Okay, let's try it."
Although he didn't hold out much hope, in order to make Zhang Chi and Long Jinggang give up, Old Man Chen still spoke.
Zhang Chi nodded and closed his eyes.
Imagine that you are driving a racing car in the shape of a wine glass.
I don’t know if it was the car’s heart that was playing tricks on me, but after Zhang Chi calmed down, he actually felt as if he were there.
Suddenly, a 3D runway appeared before my eyes, consisting of vegetable bowls as big as a hill, vegetable plates as wide as a factory building, foreign wine bottles as tall as the Eiffel Tower, and other huge objects.
Ding ding~
Ding!
Old man Chen knocked on his glass three times as a countdown.
Zhao Tianlai rushed out directly.
At the same time, Long Jinggang's voice came to my ears.
"Uh, left 3..."
"Oh!"
Suddenly there was a noise.
Zhang Chi opened his eyes and saw that his "racing car" had actually knocked over a toothpick holder.
Long Jinggang was stunned for a moment and said, "It's not Chizi, please slow down, I, I..."
"Slow down, you're asking the racers to wait during the actual race?"
Old man Chen is really furious this time!
Zhang Chi was also a little helpless. It seemed that Long Jinggang was indeed not suitable to be his navigator.
Just when Long Jinggang was feeling embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
Qiao Linlin on the side said, "Well, he has never ridden in your car before, so he doesn't know how you turn the corner. How about letting me try?"
Zhang Chi was stunned.
Old man Chen also looked at Qiao Linlin curiously.
Qiao Linlin chuckled and said, "I've learned this and even interned in the motorcade for a while. I won't hold him back."
The cute girl Lu Yao next to him also said: "Linlin really learned it. Her dream is to be a navigator for Torreya..."
"Torreya?"
Old Man Chen and Chen Yinlong looked at Zhang Chi.
It seemed to be saying, "You are no good, your own woman doesn't worship you, but worships your defeated opponent instead?"
Zhang Chi was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Nod
"Then you try it. I also want to experience what it's like to be blind and drive."
It was really exciting to enter that mysterious state just now, and Zhang Chi wanted to experience it again.
Since Long Jinggang can't play with him, let Qiao Linlin try. As for the navigator, he will find one later.
When Old Man Chen heard Zhang Chi say this, he nodded helplessly.
I didn't have any hope at all, so I just sat there and drank.
Chen Yinlong was handing the route book of Long Jinggang to Qiao Linlin.
After Qiao Linlin took it, she took a quick look at it and then made some changes in a few places.
Seeing this, Chen Yinlong frowned and said, "If these turns are marked like this, the racers will crash into them directly."
"He will not."
Qiao Linlin was cunning for a moment, then looked at Zhang Chi and said, "Okay, let's get started."
Zhang Chi nodded and closed his eyes again.
Sure enough, a 3D track similar to the game screen immediately appeared in front of me.
Ding ding~
Ding!
"Left 3, right 2, then left 5, left 3 then right 5, 200...right 6, sprint!"
Qiao Linlin reported very quickly and frequently, because Zhang Chi really treated himself as if he was riding a car.
And Qiao Linlin was actually reading the route book with her eyes closed.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Old man Chen even stood up directly, without even noticing the wine spilling out of his hand.
Chen Yinlong was so surprised that he was speechless, until he saw the wine glass in Zhang Chi's hand crossed the 'finish line', then he raised his hands high and cheered as if the team had won the championship.
"Fuck, that's awesome, Chizi, how did you do that?"
Zhang Chi opened his eyes and found that he had already "run" a lap and the "car" returned to the starting point.
He was also a little surprised.
Then, as if by telepathy, he turned around and looked at Qiao Linlin.
Qiao Linlin also slowly opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Chi in disbelief.
"No?"
“No!”
The two of them asked and answered questions.
The cute girl next to him jumped up and down excitedly and said, "You're amazing, Linlin, you were so handsome just now!"
Qiao Linlin chuckled and even became shy.
At this time, Old Man Chen came over.
He looked at the intact 'track' on the table, and then looked at Zhang Chi.
"You didn't open your eyes just now?"
Zhang Chi smiled bitterly and said, "Why would I open my eyes? I am testing the navigator."
Old man Chen swallowed.
Good guy, what a good guy!
Even if a normal person opens his eyes, there is no way to make the cup run around the track at such a fast speed.
And there cannot be any bumps or collisions in the process.
"This, you, she..."
Old man Chen didn't know what to say.
He looked at Qiao Linlin, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Girl, you are very good. Of course, it may be just luck. Let's change the track and you two can try again."
"Okay, okay, this is fun."
Qiao Linlin is in a playful mood!
Zhang Chi also nodded. The feeling just now was so wonderful.
It's even more amazing than driving by himself, and he doesn't have to observe the track himself, just follow the commands.
So he can immerse himself in the control of the vehicle.
“That’s what being a navigator is all about!”
Zhang Chi felt that he had understood.
