Chapter 226 Ruixian Racing City, the future Chinese New North!
"Racing City?"

"Is this... feasible?"

The clever idea proposed by Chen Jue stunned all the leaders present.

In particular, the older Secretary Wu could not imagine building a racing track along the Feiyun River specifically for a car race.

How much money do we need to invest and how many tickets do we need to sell to make back the money?
What if it becomes like those ancient towns that are everywhere in China, built but no one comes to visit?
One by one, the doubts were raised by several leaders of Rui County.

Chen Jue, on the other hand, was very calm: "As long as the event is held grandly enough and the prize money is high enough, there will definitely be people who will participate."

As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward.

The country can even successfully host marathon events, attracting countless African athletes to break records and earn extra money, so there is no reason why it cannot host international car races.

"So how much should the bonus be?" asked County Mayor Li Xiaobo.

Chen Jue thought about it and reported a very exaggerated amount of money: "For international competitions, such as the annual championship prize money, at least 8 million yuan should be given. Small domestic competitions can be downgraded and around 1 million yuan will be enough."

Secretary Wu frowned and said, "With such a high bonus and the initial investment in the venue, can we make back the money?"

Chen Jue patiently explained: "The total prize money for the F1 championship is as high as 1.04 million euros! If there were not so much prize money, major car companies would not spend huge amounts of money to build their own racing teams every year to participate."

Of course, the reason why Chen Jue proposed to let Rui County host international events like the F1 Formula.

In addition to solving some of the economic development problems for Rui County, we also want to create a good domestic racing sanctuary for domestic racing fans.

In the past decade or so, the domestic automobile consumer market has maintained the world's largest growth rate.

The popularity of private cars has also led to the prevalence of various types of racing and modification culture.

Japanese JDM, German hot hatches, Italian supercars, American muscle cars, etc., are almost becoming so many soft-text labels that people in the automotive industry are so tired of hearing them.

But after all the efforts, no domestically produced car has been recognized by the racing world.

The reason for this is not that there is no soil for racing in the country.

But when it comes to major international events like the F1 Formula One, the Nürburgring and the Rally, foreigners don’t even take Chinese car companies to participate!

Even if you spend a lot of money to register and smooth over connections, others are unwilling to open the door.

Just like the International Space Station project strictly prohibits Chinese from participating.

The reason for such blatant discrimination is that foreign car companies have already established a monopoly in the racing world.

As vested interests, they use racing culture to highlight the technological advancement of their own car companies, attract consumers from all over the world to buy, and increase the premium of their own automotive brands.

Once the Chinese car companies that are playing with internal competition and cost-effectiveness join in, how can these old car companies survive?
As a result, major competitions have boycotted the entry of domestically produced new energy vehicles, and this has become a default unspoken rule.

If we want to break the monopoly of events, domestic car companies must take the lead in hosting events at their own expense.

However, the domestic car companies are fighting among themselves fiercely, and they are almost using their brains to fight for market share. How can they have the time to do these things?
Only someone like Chen Jue, who makes money by cheating and doesn't take money seriously, has the energy to do this.

"I have visited Europe before, and the racing atmosphere there is indeed very strong. Especially for F1 races, when a big race arrives, the whole city will give up its main roads."

"If Rui County can be developed into a city racing track similar to Monaco, it will probably attract a lot of tourists." Wang Delong very much agreed with Chen Jue's proposal.

Large-scale international events require more than just attracting racing teams to participate.

Consumption surrounding racing is also considerable.

The first is the television broadcasting rights. For a large-scale event like F1, the live broadcast rights are sold to TV stations around the world for hundreds of millions of euros.

There is also betting around racing, racing peripherals, such as car models, stickers, T-shirts, autographed photos of champion drivers, and even modified parts produced by the organizers, etc., which all bring in a considerable amount of income.

Most importantly, given the huge number of racing enthusiasts in China, once a large-scale event lands in Rui County, it is estimated that many people will drive to watch it.

The tourism economy that will be stimulated by then may have an even more exaggerated influence than the time when "Chen's became popular all over the Internet."

This is just the foreseeable benefit!
Compared with simply building a car manufacturing base, the impact is more than ten times greater.

Most importantly, there is currently no 'racing city' in the country.

Once Rui County has taken the lead, it will be the only one among the top 100 counties in the country to make false claims.

This is what Chen Jue envisioned, 'differentiation and competition through innovation', which is much more reliable than those who launch an ancient town cultural and tourism project at every turn.

"Spinach? We don't do this in our country!" Secretary Wu stopped them when he heard it.

Chen Jue laughed when he saw this: "Old Secretary! We are going to host a regular sports event. We can just let the domestic sports lottery come up with a special guessing game similar to football lottery. We don't need to set up a casino for gambling."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the leaders present lit up.

I increasingly feel that this 'Racing City' project has great potential.

……

After initially convincing the county leaders, Chen Jue turned around and began to get ready to make a big splash in his hometown.

The first point is the location of the track.

He plans to create the "Magic Cube Racing" brand and build his own Nürburgring, so he must build a unique main track.

I am not worried about the city track on the public open day.

With the domestic infrastructure level, the roads built are much better than those shabby old roads in Europe. You can easily run F1 on any city main road.

There are only a bunch of big idiots on the Internet who always brag about the conscience of Europe's roads, saying that once built, they can be used for 100 years without rotting.

Little do people know that China's roads carry the highest volume of traffic in the world.

It took 30 years to complete the infrastructure construction process of developed countries that took 200 years. The utilization rate and wear and tear were too high, which led to the frequent repairs of urban roads.

Let those dump trucks and 100-ton trucks give European roads a try, they will crush the roadbed underneath in minutes!

As for the location of the main track, Chen Jue discussed it with several county leaders and finally decided on a location near the Xiwan Scenic Area on the urban development sand table.

The place is not only close to the Rubik's Cube factory and the deep-water port terminal project, which is convenient for showcasing Rui County's manufacturing strength, but also has beautiful coastline and mountain natural scenery.

If a racetrack is built in this place, it will definitely attract the interest of many tourists.

After watching the car race, you can also go to the beach to relax and take a yacht out to sea.

Isn't this the name of Rui County's Little Morocco?

So soon, the location of the main stadium was finalized.

Just when Chen Jue happily returned to the Rubik's Cube Factory and went down to the underground experimental base, intending to test the performance of those lithium battery samples.

A strange big-nosed figure came out from the MC village, holding [Lepidolite] and a BYD blade battery, and crawled out of the square wooden house.

"Report to the boss!"

"I am Chen Cai, a fellow villager of Chen Nong and Chen Shang. I sensed your call and came all the way here to serve you!"
