Chen Mo naturally knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was through Jarvis. He was actually prepared in his heart. Although he had established several companies now, most of them were in the product research and development stage. They did not pose a threat to other forces. The only thing that could attract hatred was Shield Cars.
Moreover, after the release of "Lord" and "Thunder," Shield Cars completely dominated the top car field. It could be said that they had snatched the fat meat from the mouths of the world's top car brands. It was natural for them to be retaliated. However, he did not expect the other party's revenge to be so simple and crude. They directly sent the Mafia to attack him.
However, considering that the other party was a company from Italy, the birthplace of the Mafia, Chen Mo could understand.
However, this did not mean that Chen Mo intended to let it go!
There was the Toyoda Group in front, and there was Ferrari behind. Chen Mo did not forget any of them. Kill them directly?
No! That would be too easy for them!
Since they attacked Chen Mo for the interests of the car company, then Chen Mo would completely destroy what they valued the most!
Toyoda Motors was taking the mid-to-low-end route, so according to Chen Mo's development plan for Shield Cars, it could not be dealt with in the short term. However, Chen Mo was not in a hurry. After all, they just sent spies to steal information. He would let them be free for a while.
However, Ferrari directly sent the Mafia to attack him. Chen Mo naturally would not wait. Ferrari itself was taking the route of high-end sports cars. Chen Mo had now occupied the entire top car market of more than one million dollars. The next step was to further expand into the field of ordinary luxury cars with a price of hundreds of thousands of dollars. At that time, he would naturally be able to completely defeat Ferrari.
However, Chen Mo did not intend to personally carry out the design of new models. Instead, he completely handed it over to the research and development team of Shendun Motor Company.
When it was acquired by Chen Mo, the research team was able to independently carry out the development of new models, chassis, and engines. Its strength was actually not weak. However, it was overshadowed by Chen Mo before. Now, Chen Mo was completely free. Coupled with the experience of assisting Chen Mo to perfect the design of three super cars, as well as a large number of advanced car technologies provided by Chen Mo, there was no problem for this team to develop luxury cars with a price of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The only problem was time. Even if Chen Mo helped them cheat, the research and development of new models would definitely take some time. However, before that, Chen Mo could recover some interest from other sources.
The F1 Formula One race would begin soon. At that time, Chen Mo's Shield F1 Team would completely crush the old teams in the field and let them know what true strength was!
The F1 car had been ready for a long time. Although its performance was limited by the F1 car's unified technical standards and could not fully display the technical strength of Shendun Motor Company, it was still ahead of the cars of the old teams in terms of performance. In addition, the team's driver, Carlos Sainz Jr., had also improved his driving skills greatly after training with Bradley during this period. As long as there were no accidents, the team's victory was almost certain.
However, there was still some time before the F1 race officially began. The team was still in a state of preparation. On the other side, the Shield Rally Team, which had gone to Europe to participate in the Dakar Rally, was the first to send back good news.
Carlos Sainz Sr. drove the "Knight" off-road car and won the first place in the off-road car category in the Dakar Rally!
Carlos Sainz Sr. was a legendary figure in the world of rallying cars. He had won the World Rally Championship many times. His title of "Matador" was well-known. It was not surprising that he won the Dakar Rally this time. However, the performance of the "Knight" off-road car that he drove with Carlos Sainz Sr. had indeed shocked countless people. The reputation of the Shield cars and the "Knight" had also spread throughout the world of racing.
Many people who had not heard of the Shield cars before also learned about the powerful performance of the Shield cars and the cars they produced through this competition. The sales of the "Knight," "Thunder," and even the "Lord" had increased a lot.
After all, Chen Mo's previous advertising campaigns were mainly in the United States. Although he had also promoted in other countries, the efforts were not very strong. After all, it had only been established for a short period of time, so its influence was limited. Therefore, its worldwide popularity was far from reaching the point where everyone knew about it.
However, through this competition, it was a good promotion on the international stage. The effect was indeed very good.
For this reason, Chen Mo waved his hand and directly gave the "Knight" off-road car that won the championship to Carlos Sainz Sr., and gave him a cash prize of five million dollars.
Compared to the publicity effect brought by Carlos Sainz Sr.'s victory in the Dakar Rally this time, this amount of money was nothing at all.
After winning the Dakar Rally, Shendun Motor Company officially announced that it had completed the acquisition of the original Carter team and changed its name to the Shield team, officially entering F1!
Originally, after the release of the "Lord" and "Thunder," the Shendun Motor Company, which had completely crushed several top car manufacturing companies with its strength and almost completely occupied the top car industry, had received the focus of attention from various media outlets during this period. The "Knight" off-road car's victory in the Dakar Rally was highlighted by major media outlets. Now, Shendun Motor Company's sudden announcement of entering F1 made the reporters flock to it like cats that had smelled blood.
F1 Formula One racing was the world's top car racing competition. It was a stage for the top car manufacturers to compete.
Here, it was not only the car's manufacturing technology that determined the outcome of the race, but also the driver's strength, the team's financial resources, the technical team, the car's tuning, the tactical analysis, and other factors that determined the outcome of the race. The veteran teams with rich experience and top drivers and teams undoubtedly had a huge advantage.
The Shield team's entry into F1 was actually not viewed favorably by the public.
F1 racing cars were different from mass-produced sports cars. The organizing committee had set very strict standards for all aspects of the car's specifications and parameters. No one doubted that the Shield team's technology was ahead of the other veteran car companies. However, in F1, where there were strict technical restrictions, the technical advantages of the Shield team could not be used much.
It was their first time in F1, and it was impossible to beat the experienced veteran teams in terms of car performance. Although the original team of the Carter team was quite experienced, there was still a big gap between them and the veteran teams that dominated the top few places all year round.
