How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 219

The One Hundred Million Bet: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (1)

Yang Chen and Wang Qianni arrived at the private room.

The chef, along with his assistant and equipment, also came to the private room and started preparing the full fish feast in front of them.

Wang Qianni said with a smile, “Chen Lijun is really willing to spend money this time, ordering 100 pounds of tuna and hiring a chef to prepare it on the spot. It seems he really wants to learn your drifting technique. Will you teach him this afternoon?”

“Of course! I promised to teach him, so I definitely have to keep my word. However, it depends on his own comprehension. I can’t seriously teach him every day, just for an afternoon at most,” Yang Chen replied.

The chef first made sashimi, and Yang Chen and Wang Qianni started eating.

Wang Qianni enjoyed it, but Yang Chen didn’t like raw food very much, so he reluctantly ate a couple of bites and stopped.

After a while, Chen Lijun and Wang Zijun returned.

Yang Chen greeted them to sit down quickly and asked, “What did the doctor say?”

Chen Lijun replied with a smile, “It’s nothing serious, just a little scratch and some swelling. It’ll be fine in a few days.”

Then, Chen Lijun took out the 1 million check that Zhang Jiacheng had given him and asked, “Brother Chen, this check is a bit tricky. Should I cash it or not?”

Knowing that Chen Lijun was afraid of Zhang Jiacheng, Yang Chen smiled, took out his checkbook, wrote a check for 1 million and handed it to him. Then, he took Zhang Jiacheng’s check and said, “You cash my check, and I’ll cash his.”

This way, Zhang Jiacheng wouldn’t be able to trouble Chen Lijun. If he really wanted to cause trouble, he would directly target Yang Chen.

Chen Lijun quickly returned Yang Chen’s check and said, “Brother Chen, if you dare to cash it, just go ahead and cash it. I’ll give it to you. Take your check back; you don’t need to give me anything.”

Yang Chen said with a smile, “One thing is one thing. I have no reason to take your money for nothing. Just keep it safe and enjoy your meal. Oh, right, my Phaeton is at your mom’s place. Please help me urge her to get it fixed as soon as possible.”

Chen Lijun nodded and said, “Okay, okay. I’ll call my mom tonight to ask about the progress.”

On the other side, Zhang Jiacheng and his group went to a Western restaurant to eat and drink.

Li Tao, that grandson, just wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work, so he deliberately said, “Damn it, that kid is too arrogant. He’s just a ride-hailing driver, how dare he? Any one of us here could beat him up! Damn it, being bullied by a ride-hailing driver? I really can’t swallow this.”

Zhang Hai: “That kid is good at fighting! What can we do if we’re not convinced? Damn!”

Zhang Jiacheng sneered and said, “Good at fighting? Does he think he’s Jackie Chan? Can he fight ten guys at once? When I’m done with my business, I’ll gather people and surround him. I want to see if he can fight ten! Damn!”

Buffett and the other three foreigners didn’t understand what they were saying, but they could understand their expressions and body language.

Buffett said, “Mr. Zhang, I’ll reiterate, we want safety and stability. We don’t want you to be involved in lawsuits. Understand?”

Gates: “Mr. Zhang, you know that what we’re doing can’t be known by more people. You should always remember to keep a low profile. Unless someone is literally shitting on your head, you should endure it. When you make a lot of money, your enemies will automatically submit. You should understand this, right?”

The One Hundred Million Bet: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (2)

Zhang Jiacheng laughed and said, “Understood! Don’t worry, I know what to do. I will definitely not affect our cooperation, let alone bring you trouble.”

Soon, Yang Chen and the others finished lunch.

Although they tried their best to eat, there were still more than 50 pounds of tuna left.

Chen Lijun asked the restaurant to put it on ice and send it to Yang Chen’s house.

Back at the racetrack.

The staff on site had already started preparing for the race.

As fate would have it, Yang Chen and his group ran into Zhang Jiacheng’s group again.

Because there were foreigners present, Zhang Jiacheng didn’t mention what happened at the Japanese restaurant.

However, Schulte, one of the three foreigners, was a professional racer and was going to participate in the afternoon’s race with Chen Lijun.

So, Zhang Jiacheng asked, “Chen Lijun, do you dare to make a side bet? We’ll bet on who gets a better ranking between you and Mr. Schulte. If you rank higher, I’ll lose another 2 million to you. If Mr. Schulte ranks higher, you lose 2 million to me. How about it?”

Chen Lijun knew his own driving skills and was no match for this Schulte at all.

If he agreed, it would be like giving 2 million to Zhang Jiacheng for nothing.

“Brother Cheng, don’t mess around. Side bets are illegal!” Chen Lijun politely refused.

Zhang Jiacheng laughed and said, “You could have just said you were a coward; why say side bets are illegal?”

“Haha…” Zhang Jiacheng’s group laughed.

Chen Lijun gritted his teeth, turned to Yang Chen and said, “Brother Chen, why don’t you race him?”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “I’m not interested.”

Zhang Jiacheng immediately said, “Oh, it seems this ride-hailing driver brother is very good at driving. How about a race? Let’s raise the stakes to 10 million. Do you dare?”

Yang Chen shook his head and said, “Below 100 million, I’m not interested.”

Zhang Jiacheng’s group was first shocked, then burst into laughter.

“You really dare to say that! Not interested below 100 million? Do you know how many zeros are in 100 million?”

“Truly ignorant and fearless, a mere ride-hailing driver dares to be so arrogant.”

“Do you have 100 million? And you’re not interested below 100 million.”

…

Yang Chen looked at Chen Lijun and Wang Zijun and said, “I don’t have it, but they do. The key is whether you have that much money.”

Zhang Jiacheng sneered and quickly communicated with Schulte.

Schulte sized up Yang Chen and said, “Mr. Zhang, we are sure to earn this 100 million!”

Zhang Jiacheng had watched Schulte’s races many times and had a rough idea of his true strength.

Schulte occasionally won championships, often finished in the top three, and occasionally barely made it into the top ten. In short, no matter what race it was, his ranking never fell below tenth place.

With such a professional racer, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he could completely defeat a ride-hailing driver, right?

Zhang Jiacheng gritted his teeth and said, “Okay! 100 million it is! Chen Lijun, Wang Zijun, do you two dare to put up this 100 million for him?”

The two couldn’t help but laugh.

Chen Lijun: “Dare! Why wouldn’t we dare?”

Wang Zijun: “Since Brother Cheng wants to play, then we brothers will of course accompany him to the end.”

With that, the two took out their checkbooks and each signed a check for 50 million.

Chen Lijun: “Fifty million!”

Wang Zijun:

The One Hundred Million Bet: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (3)

“Fifty million!”

By doing this, they were putting a knife to Zhang Jiacheng’s throat, forcing him to have no way out.

However, Zhang Jiacheng was still a little timid and didn’t dare to put up the entire 100 million bet on his own.

“Since you two are giving us money to spend, then we won’t be polite. Brothers, don’t say I’m not looking out for you. For this 100 million, I’ll put up 50 million, and the remaining amount is for you. If we win, we’ll split the money according to the investment ratio,” Zhang Jiacheng said.

Others thought that Schulte was a strong professional racer, so he would definitely easily defeat a ride-hailing driver.

Wouldn’t it be a missed opportunity to pick up money if they didn’t invest quickly?

However, at this time, Li Tao whispered a reminder, “Brother Cheng, this kid can drift. Do you remember the Ferrari 812 that was drifting this morning? He was the one driving it. Maybe he really has some skills, then…”

Zhang Jiacheng suddenly felt guilty. The Ferrari 812 that spun 360° and straightened its front, rushing out without any speed reduction, had left a deep impression on them.

Looking at Chen Lijun and Wang Zijun’s confident appearance, and the fact that they had written the checks so readily, it showed that they had a lot of confidence in this ride-hailing driver.

Could it be that this guy has developed superb skills from driving a ride-hailing car every day?

Yang Chen deliberately said in English, “If you can’t afford to play, just say so; don’t waste our time. I thought this foreigner was very powerful, but he’s actually afraid of a ride-hailing driver like me. Then why even participate in the race? Just buy a plane ticket and go home.”

Schulte immediately blew his top, stepped forward to stop Yang Chen, and said, “I advise you to take back what you just said, or I will kick your ass hard! Understand?”

Yang Chen deliberately provoked, “You don’t even dare to race; what qualifications do you have to say such things in front of me? First, let them dare to put up 100 million to let you race me; otherwise, shut your mouth and quickly buy a plane ticket back to your hometown. Don’t embarrass yourself in a foreign country! Understand?”

Schulte immediately said to Zhang Jiacheng, “Mr. Zhang, lend me 100 million; I must race him today. If I can beat him, I don’t need to participate in this race anymore; the prize money is already enough.”

The champion prize money for this race was 10 million. If Schulte won Yang Chen and took 100 million, he really wouldn’t need to continue the race.

Zhang Jiacheng quickly explained, “Mr. Schulte, it’s not that we’re reluctant to spend the money, but he can drift, so he might really have some skills.”

Schulte was even more angry and said, “You think I’ll lose to him? Are you kidding me? I’m a professional racer who has won many championships. Do you think I’m not as good as a ride-hailing driver? F*ck!”

Buffett: “Mr. Zhang, why don’t you lend me some money first? I’ll bet on Mr. Schulte winning.”

Gates: “Me too, lend me some money. I believe Mr. Schulte will definitely win; we are sure to earn this 100 million.”

Since things had been said to this point, Zhang Jiacheng could only bite the bullet and go ahead.

A group of people discussed it and finally determined the investment ratio.

Buffett, Gates, and Schulte each invested 10 million. Because they didn’t have accounts in Dragon Country, Zhang Jiacheng would pay for them first, and they would return it to him when they won.

Zhang Jiacheng personally invested

The One Hundred Million Bet: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (4)

30 million, and the remaining 40 million was divided among the remaining 18 people.

After collecting the 100 million in checks, both parties put the checks into a sealed bag and handed it over to Wang Qianni and Li Tao to jointly manage.

If Yang Chen won, Wang Qianni would take the sealed bag.

If Schulte won, Li Tao would take the sealed bag.

Zhang Jiacheng went to communicate with the racetrack management and rented the track for an hour.

The official race would start at 3:30, and there were still three hours left, so it wouldn’t delay the main race.

The management broadcast a notice to everyone in the venue to leave the track within five minutes, and a private battle would start in ten minutes.

Everyone in the venue quickly left the track.

The audience in the stands were excited.

“Damn, there’s an extra show to watch!”

“Which two racers are so eager to determine the winner that they can’t even wait for the main race?”

“These two are really brave. There are so many people here, and they dare to fight privately. The loser will be too embarrassed.”

…

Yang Chen and Schulte agreed on the rules of the race. Both parties would start at the same starting line at the same time, with a time limit of 30 minutes. Whoever ran the most mileage would win.

Chen Lijun brought his racing suit for Yang Chen to wear.

Chen Lijun: “Brother Chen, remember, you have to change tires every eight laps at most. If you force yourself to run a few more laps, the tires will slip due to severe wear and tear, and it’s easy to have an accident.”

Wang Zijun: “I’ll be holding a flag. When you need to change tires, I’ll wave the flag one lap in advance to remind you. You must slow down and come to our side to change tires on the next lap.”

Chen Lijun: “According to the distance of the track, you should run 18-20 laps in half an hour, which means you have to change tires at least twice.”

Yang Chen’s driving skills were definitely not a problem, but it was his first time on the track, so he still had to remind him of these rules and techniques.

Yang Chen nodded with a smile and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely beat that foreigner.”

Wang Hengyuan, the owner of the Sunset Racing Club and also a contestant in this race with Chen Lijun, said with a smile, “Brother, I’ve heard about you from Lijun. He said you’re especially good at drifting. I’ve always wanted to see it, but I haven’t had the chance. Today is finally the day. Come on, all the brothers in our club will do our best to provide you with the best assistance.”

Yang Chen gave two thumbs up and said, “Then I’ll thank you brothers in advance. I’ll treat you to drinks tonight.”

With that, Yang Chen put on his helmet.

Everyone laughed.

“Brother Chen, then we’ll wait for the drinks.”

“We must get drunk tonight. Whoever doesn’t get drunk is not giving Brother Chen face, and don’t come out to hang out in the future.”

“Brother Chen, come on! Brothers will cheer you on from the sidelines!”

…

Chen Lijun and Wang Zijun immediately said that as long as Yang Chen could defeat that Schulte, they would pay for all the expenses tonight.

Yang Chen waved to everyone and got into Chen Lijun’s GTR [a high-performance sports car].

The Ferrari 812 was good for showing off and picking up girls, but it wasn’t suitable for racing.

Moreover, they only had GTR tires here, so he had to use this car.

Yang Chen slowly drove out the GTR, and Chen Lijun followed beside him, telling him some precautions and racing experience.

On the other

The One Hundred Million Bet: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (5)

side, Schulte drove out in a Ferrari Enzo [another high-performance sports car].

When the two cars stopped at the starting line at the same time, the whole place was buzzing.

“Damn! Ferrari Enzo, this car is the closest Ferrari model to an F1 race car; you can even treat it as an F1 car. Is there even a need to race?”

“If this were in a movie, the GTR wouldn’t even be able to beat a Toyota AE86 [a classic sports car known for drifting], how could it beat an Enzo?”

“I want to know if we can bet on this private fight? Is anyone taking bets? I want to bet on the Enzo winning.”

“Aren’t you just daydreaming? What idiot would take bets? As long as you’re not an idiot, you’d bet on the Enzo winning; how can anyone take bets?”

“Damn, I got the news. The GTR is driven by a ride-hailing driver, and the Enzo is driven by professional racer Schulte.”

“What? A ride-hailing driver driving a GTR against a professional racer driving an Enzo? Isn’t this a joke?”

“Sigh… why is that ride-hailing driver so clueless? I really want to know what he looks like. How big is his face to dare to play like this!”

…

Races aren’t about who drives the faster car; it’s about testing skills and intelligence.

The Enzo was indeed very strong, but Chen Lijun’s modified GTR also used a V12 engine, which was no worse than the Enzo.

Maybe the Enzo was indeed stronger than the GTR in terms of aerodynamics, but these effects were minimal, and Yang Chen could completely make up for it with his skills.

Chen Lijun told Yang Chen some more precautions before leaving the track.

At this time, in the stands, Zhang Jiacheng and others were all smiling happily.

“Haha… there’s no need to race at all; the winner has already been decided just by looking at the cars!”

“A broken GTR wants to race an Enzo? It’s just a joke!”

“Mr. Schulte is a professional racer, plus the Enzo, which is close to F1 race car standards. He will definitely beat that ride-hailing driver driving the GTR.”

“We’re making this 100 million too easily.”

“Haha…”

Zhang Jiacheng showed a confident smile and then went to chat with Buffett and Gates.

On the other side, Li Tao and Wang Qianni were jointly guarding the sealed bag containing the checks.

Li Tao rarely had such a close opportunity to be alone with Wang Qianni, and he was extremely happy.

“Qianni, you know my feelings for you. I haven’t dated any girls during my years studying abroad. Many girls have confessed to me, but I rejected them all. I just wanted to come back to the country after graduation to pursue you and love you wholeheartedly. It’s just that I’m not as good-looking as that ride-hailing driver, but I’m definitely better than him in other aspects. Is his family as good as mine? Is his education as high as mine? Did he know you earlier than me? Am I as dedicated to loving you as he is? No, right? So, why can’t you consider me?” Li Tao asked.

Wang Qianni rolled her eyes and said, “Love has no reason. I liked him the first time I saw him, just like you said you liked me the first time you saw me. I was being bullied at the time, and he saved me. I offered myself to him, but he refused many times. If it were you, would you refuse? You are inferior to him in too many ways; I don’t want to hurt your self-confidence. I don’t want to talk to you anymore; be quiet; don’t force me to slap you!”

Li Tao immediately shut up and didn’t dare to speak, because

The One Hundred Million Bet: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (6)

he knew that Wang Qianni really dared to slap him.

It would be so embarrassing to be slapped in the face in front of a girl.

If he fought back, he would be rude; if he didn’t fight back, he would lose face. Anyway, he would suffer a big loss no matter what.

At this time, there was a roar from the track, and the two cars were ready to start.

The management announcer also acted as a commentator.

“As the starter gave the order, the two cars rushed out at the same time! As expected of the number one sports car, the Enzo started very fast and instantly left the GTR behind. Here, we have to praise the Enzo. This is the closest of all Ferrari models to an F1 race car; you can even treat it as an F1 car. The entire car is almost made of carbon fiber, with a V-12 engine, which brings a full sense of dynamism. In addition to the sequential gearbox and variable valve timing system or composite ceramic brakes inherited from F1, the Enzo also draws heavily on F1’s design experience in aerodynamics. The air intake at the front of the car uses Ferrari’s classic airflow control system technology, which prevents the car from floating at high speeds, and the fully enclosed air ducts on the chassis help increase the car’s downforce…”

The announcer praised Schulte’s Enzo to the sky, almost making it sound like it was the only one of its kind in the world.

After talking about the Enzo, he then talked about the GTR.

“The Enzo’s opponent, the GTR, has never won in comics and movies, not even against an AE86. So, everyone can imagine it for themselves; I won’t introduce it any further.”

“Haha…” The whole place burst into laughter.

At this time, on the track, the GTR had been lapped by the Enzo by half a lap, and the trend was getting bigger and bigger.

Li Tao said with a smile, “Oh, the winner has been decided just three minutes after the start. The GTR is no match for the Enzo, and the ride-hailing driver is no match for the professional racer.”

Wang Qianni stood up nervously. Would Yang Chen really lose like this?

Soon, it was the eighth lap, but Yang Chen didn’t change tires and continued to run.

Chen Lijun: “Damn it! Brother Chen forgot to change tires after eight laps at most.”

Wang Zijun was anxious and kept waving the flag in his hand to remind Yang Chen.

At this time, in the stands, everyone laughed.

“Is that GTR driver an amateur? He doesn’t know how to change tires!”

“Is he trying to commit suicide?”

“Haha… I’m dying of laughter; he doesn’t even know how to change tires, and he dares to race against a professional racer. This ride-hailing driver is really courting death!”

…

In theory, you have to change tires every eight laps at most, but there is no rule that you must change tires after eight laps.

Yang Chen hadn’t been speeding up, which allowed the Enzo to lead by almost a lap.

He felt that the tires could last two more laps.

On the tenth lap, Yang Chen clearly felt that the car was unstable, so he quickly entered the pit to change tires.

Yang Chen shouted, “Fill it up with gas!”

Wang Zijun: “Brother Chen, you ran two extra laps; it was too dangerous. I saw the car drifting just now. You can’t do this anymore! Remember, when you see me waving the flag, you have to come to change tires on the next lap!”

Chen Lijun shouted, “Brother Chen, you have to speed up a little; you’re already a lap behind.

The One Hundred Million Bet: What’s Wrong with a Ride-Hailing Driver Having Some Money? (7)

We’re competing to see who runs the most mileage in half an hour; you have to try to run faster!”

Yang Chen nodded and rushed out with a slam on the accelerator.

However, Yang Chen still followed unhurriedly and didn’t accelerate.

It wasn’t until the 15th lap that Yang Chen suddenly accelerated.

At this time, the Enzo had to pull over to change tires, which meant that the Enzo would be stationary for about 7 seconds.

Yang Chen took this opportunity to move forward at full speed.

When the Enzo returned to the track, the GTR was turning, and the scene from the morning reappeared. The GTR drifted through the corner; the front of the car turned 360° and straightened, rushing out without any impact on the speed.

Moreover, the GTR firmly occupied the inner lane, preventing the Enzo from rushing up and overtaking from the inner lane.

On the 17th lap, Wang Zijun quickly waved the flag in his hand to remind Yang Chen to change tires.

However, on the 18th lap, Yang Chen did not change tires and continued the race.

Wang Zijun was about to speak when Chen Lijun shouted, “There are 90 seconds left; Brother Chen doesn’t dare to come to change tires! I know; he deliberately dragged the first tire change to the 10th lap, so he can save a tire change time. The Ferrari has been running at full speed, and Schulte doesn’t dare to run too much, for fear that the tires won’t have enough grip and he’ll fly off the track. Brother Chen is using tactics to make up for the natural gap between the GTR and the Enzo.”

Wang Zijun: “Then who’s running more mileage?”

Chen Lijun: “Brother Chen is currently 1 kilometer behind; it’s just a matter of a blink of an eye. It depends on who can quickly pass the last corner; whoever is faster will win!”

Announcer: “Wow, the competition between the two sides is very fierce! The Enzo is leading by less than 500 meters; the last turn will determine the winner. Whoever takes less time will win after straightening. Don’t look at 500 meters as if it’s a lot, but the GTR still has a chance to overtake before the race time runs out. The GTR has obviously accelerated, and the car is a bit drifting. Huh? At this moment, the GTR’s speed looks even faster than the Enzo’s? Is it because the tire friction is small?”

A few seconds later, the Enzo began to enter the corner, and Schulte used an outer lane drift to pass the corner, which would be safer.

Just then, an accident occurred with the GTR’s inner drift. Due to severe tire friction damage and insufficient grip, the car was a bit out of control, and the car rotated 360° and almost flew off the track.

“Whoa…” The whole place exclaimed, and everyone stood up excitedly.

The GTR was about to fly off the track, but it didn’t fly out, because the tires were severely damaged and the grip was too small, which helped the GTR to swing in front of the Enzo by half a car length.

Announcer: “My God! No way! Did the GTR overtake in this way?”
