Chapter 364: Bad Temper

A year ago, also on October 10, Luo Lixian followed Fang Hexuan to Shenzhen to test drive EVO. At that time, with the consent of the boss, he spent money to buy a non-mass production version of EVO.

Over the past year, under the training of a professional racing coach, his main job has been to practice driving EVO at the Yuen Long test track, which is also the competitive training for racing drivers.

Of course, I also occasionally work as a test driver, mainly providing driving feedback for the second-generation EVO at the Hung Hom R&D center.

When he is not at work, Luo Lixian likes to race with a group of friends on non-main roads throughout Hong Kong. He especially likes the section of Highway Tsuen Kam on Tai Mo Shan from Tsuen Wan Tsuen Kam Interchange to Kam Tin Upper Village.

This road has few vehicles passing through. It is about 12 kilometers long and is all ups and downs. It has various bends and corners, and not too long straight roads. It is particularly suitable for drivers to use as a daily training ground.

Route Tsuen Kam was later hailed as the "Hong Kong version of Akina Mountain", but is now known to many Hong Kong racing enthusiasts because of Law Lai-yin's brilliant achievements.

In addition to his driving skills that shocked everyone, his car EVO has also become increasingly famous in comparison with a number of luxury sports cars, which can be regarded as an early advertisement for BYD in Hong Kong.

Ronaldinho has made great progress in the past year. If he used to race out of passion and interest, now he has mastered many professional racing skills and has become much more stable.

Professional racing is classified as a sport and competitive sports, and racing drivers are essentially athletes.

In addition to the extremely high requirements for project skills, personal sports skills, psychological quality, physical condition, etc. cannot be neglected.

In later generations, some people with a fondness for gossip called Luo Lixian, Liu Guoxiong, Zhan Changsheng and Zhang Ziqiang the "Four Driving Gods" of Hong Kong. These people did have extraordinary fame in amateur competitions or the underground racing world, but if they were to be compared with top professional racing drivers like Schumacher, the gap between them might be at least 10 Han Hans.

Since Ronaldinho was chosen by Fang Hexuan as BYD's seed driver for future WRC competition, the training and treatment he receives are naturally top-notch. No matter how much money is spent, Boss Fang is willing to do it.

Luo Lixian is not a fool, on the contrary he is very smart. He feels that after joining BYD a few years ago, his life destiny has changed greatly and his future is bright.

Therefore, he is not only grateful to BYD company, but also grateful to his richest boss.

Everyone in the company knew that this auto show was particularly important, so Luo Lixian volunteered to come to Paris as a test driver. If necessary, he could show off his driving skills to the audience, which would also help BYD gain face.

Originally, he and other colleagues were at the test track explaining driving precautions to car fans who wanted to test drive the car. However, just when one person was about to start the car, he suddenly heard a gruff voice in English mockingly saying "If the cars made by the Chinese can run normally, I will run naked on the spot."

He frowned and turned around to find which grandson dared to speak rudely, and saw a white old man who was about fifty or sixty years old standing with his neck stiff and a look of disdain on his face.

At this time, the proportion of Hong Kong people who identify themselves as Chinese, whether they were born in the 50s, 60s, or 70s, is still quite high, at least % if not %.

Regardless of whether these people are sophisticated egoists or opportunists, if they are racially discriminated against in public, even if the other party is a white man, they will be angry and crazy.

The gangster aura of Luo Lixian is not comparable to those bullies in the society. He has a heroic complex.

Being humiliated in public by a foreigner, even though it wasn't directed at him specifically, he still felt his blood boiling.

The colleague next to him was afraid that he would fight if he disagreed with him, and was about to say something to persuade him, but he raised his hand to stop him. Although Luo Lixian was angry, his temper was not as impulsive as before. He replied to the white old man with an unhappy face:

"Sir, even though you're a racist asshole, I still invite you to test drive this EVO with me, do you dare?"

After saying this, he snorted, and his displeasure instantly turned into a sarcastic expression that anyone with a discerning eye could understand.

Don’t think that the white old man’s provocation just now was intentional, he really meant it.

Even in the 21s of the 20st century, there are still a large number of people in European and American societies who have never left their country in their entire lives.

The most typical example is that there are too many brainless and idiotic questions about China on the foreign version of Bihu, Quaro.

For example, "Does China have cars?", "Are Chinese televisions black and white?", "Does China have highways?", "Do Chinese people have refrigerators?", "Does China have smartphones?", "Do Chinese soldiers have guns?", "Does China have mountains?", "How many pairs of chopsticks are there in China?", "Do Chinese people eat spiders?", etc.

This is at a time when the Internet has become almost universal around the world and 5G has begun commercial use.

Not to mention it was only the early 20s, so it was no surprise that there were so many idiots.

Moreover, this old man's problem is not only due to ignorance, but also arrogance.

In his heart, the Chinese, or Asians, like the black Africans, are still the uncivilized primitive humans in this world.

Therefore, he was just wandering around the test track when he was attracted by a place surrounded by people. He squeezed in and saw a car that was said to be from Hong Kong.

He instinctively felt it was ridiculous and believed that BYD was talking nonsense and lying.

Even though he was glared at and mocked by a young Asian man, the old man did not back down. He looked at him with contempt and replied in a joking tone:
"I don't believe you Chinese can build a car, but that doesn't mean I'm a racist. Also, I remember you Chinese just put on your shoes, right? Are you sure you can drive? I can't throw away my life just because of your words."

Hearing this, Luo Lixian, who had just tried hard to suppress his anger, could no longer bear it. He immediately took out all the cash from his trouser pocket - 2823 francs, and turned around to borrow 2000 francs from his colleague next to him.

Today, the exchange rate of the US dollar to the French franc is similar to that of the US dollar to the Hong Kong dollar, both of which are approximately equal to 1:6.

Luo Lixian counted the banknotes in his hand, took out 4800 francs, shook them, and said to the white old man with gritted teeth:
"Hey, old man, if I hurt you while driving, I'll pay you $800 first, and then I'll cover all your medical expenses, how about that? Still no balls?"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that annoyed the old man. Seeing that the crowd was gathering more and more, he didn't want people to think that he was cowardly, so he said angrily:
"Yellow-skinned boy, I want to see if you and your car are genuine. Let me tell you first, even if I hurt a finger, you can't deny it."

Luo Lixian was already very impatient. He walked straight to the left door of the car, then stopped and glared at the old man again.

"The time you spend talking nonsense is enough for me to drive you home."
