After arriving in Maranello, the two of them were not taken directly to Ferrari's headquarters by Lubos to report. He first took them to an area surrounded by guardrails that looked like an independent community.
"This is the dormitory prepared by Ferrari for its employees, which is where you will live for the next period of time. Of course, if you rent your own house, you can also move out. Ferrari has no restrictions on these." Lubos introduced.
Then he led the two people into a house.
These houses are divided into two floors, upper and lower, but the two floors are independent of each other.
Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were assigned to the upper floor. They walked through the stairs inside the house and walked up to the second floor. Lubos opened the door, which was not locked at all.
After entering the house, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng looked at the place curiously.
The furnishings inside the house are very ordinary, not luxurious, but it can be seen that someone cleans it very often. The room is filled with various items that are commonly used in daily life, so the inside of the house does not look empty, but has a sense of home. The feeling of warmth.
The house is of medium size, about sixty square meters by visual inspection, but Qin Miao, who has just walked in, can't tell which rooms there are.
"The property rights of this community are owned by Ferrari, so you don't need to pay rent while working and living at Ferrari. Of course, you have to take care of the water, electricity, and heating yourself."
Lubos took out a set of keys from the shoe cabinet at the entrance and handed them to Qin Miao: "These are your keys. Remember not to lose them. Although there are spare keys in the company, if you lose the keys, please contact the logistics application If you do, you will inevitably get complained."
Lubos looked a little unnatural when he said this. If nothing else, he must have had a dark history in this regard.
Qiu Meng took the key and said thank you.
After confirming that Qin Miao and Qiu Meng were satisfied with the house here and did not ask for replacement, Lubos said: "If you are satisfied with the house, just put your luggage down. It is very safe here and no one will touch your things. Next we will Go to the cafeteria for lunch, then the museum, factory and company.”
The place to eat is a restaurant not far from the house where Qin Miao and the others live. It only takes about five minutes to walk there.
The restaurant looks normal on the outside, just a nicely decorated Italian restaurant.
But after walking in, I discovered that the interior of the restaurant has a strong racing element.
The walls are covered with murals of Ferrari racing cars, and even the edges of all the tables are edged with a layer of Ferrari red and black edges.
The chair is also a bit like a fully enclosed racing seat, but for comfort, the center of the chair is hollowed out.
At the same time, since it was already meal time and there were quite a lot of people eating in the restaurant, Qin Miao saw many staff members wearing Ferrari red uniforms.
While eating, Qin Miao tried lasagna and ice cream.
How should I put it, these two Italian specialties are rich in flavor and good in texture. Overall, Qin Miao likes them better.
Of course, this can only be used as a meal replacement. If Qin Miao is asked to eat this every day, he may go crazy.
So after finishing the meal, Qin Miao asked Lubos: "Lubos, are there any Chinese restaurants nearby?"
Lubos recalled it for a moment, and then said: "There seems to be a Chinese restaurant nearby, but I haven't eaten there. Why do you ask?"
Qin Miao said with some embarrassment: "I'm not saying that Italian food is not delicious, but as a Chinese, it is inevitable that I will not be used to eating without rice..."
"Oh, you said this, you don't have to worry at all." Lubos said with a smile: "You won't have to worry about this in the future, because starting from tomorrow when you officially join the job, your diet will be controlled and prepared by a dedicated person .”
Qin Miao:...?
"What do you mean?" Qin Miao suddenly had a bad feeling.
The smile on Lubos's face was a little weird: "It means that starting from tomorrow when you officially join the job, you can't decide what you want to eat."
For a moment, Qin Miao felt that even if she didn't eat Chinese food, it would be okay to just eat food that the locals loved...
After eating, Qin Miao and Qiu Meng entered the Ferrari museum under the leadership of Lubos.
Ferrari's headquarters is not very tall. Basically all buildings are two-story, but the area is quite large.
Along the way, Lubos didn't look like a physical trainer at all, but like a tour guide. With a look of unconcealable pride on his face, he introduced Ferrari's historical heritage and factory facilities and corporate culture to Qin Miao.
After entering the museum, the first thing that caught Qin Miao's attention was a neat row of more than ten Ferrari F1 racing cars, filling the field of vision of visitors who entered the Ferrari Museum for the first time in a semicircular manner.
The visual impact of having more than a dozen F1 racing cars appear in a huge space instantly after entering the museum is extremely strong.
On the front of each F1 car is its name, the name of the driver, and the achievements of the car that season.
Qin Miao just looked at each car one by one.
After walking through this area, what appeared in front of Qin Miao was a huge wall of honor. Behind the wall of honor were many famous Ferrari classic sports cars.
The wall of honor is filled with trophies of various sizes and colors, all of which are honors Ferrari has won.
At the bottom is a row of portraits, most of which are drivers, and a few of them are ministers who have made outstanding contributions to Ferrari.
At the same time, there will be a black plate in front of all sports cars, which contains the car's model, model year, engine data, and an introduction in English and Italian.
To put it bluntly, this place is really a dream paradise for ordinary racing drivers.
What attracts them is not only these classic Ferrari sports cars full of design aesthetics, but also the honors that fill the wall.
These things are extremely desirable for any motivated driver.
Before joining Ferrari, taking their new drivers or staff to visit the Ferrari museum can be regarded as a disguised incentive.
But to be honest, Qin Miao really didn't have that deep understanding.
Perhaps because of the different growth environment, Qin Miao doesn't have much feeling about identifying with a company's culture.
Although Qin Miao likes Ferrari cars and their designs, he really has no way of identifying with the birth of the Ferrari company like other Italians or young people who have dreams of becoming a child.
After walking around the museum, the only thing that touched Qin Miao was: Ferrari's design is really awesome. Super sports cars of all ages look so domineering and full of racing aesthetics.
And Lubos, who had been introducing all this to Qin Miao and Qiu Meng, always had a faint smile on his face.
This may be the confidence brought about by his pride as an Italian and as a Ferrari employee.
It took the three of them nearly an hour to visit the museum. After the visit, the three of them did not go directly to the factory.
Instead, he went to the lounge prepared by Ferrari for employees and spent some time there.
Ferrari's museum is open to everyone, even tourists can go in and browse. Naturally, there is no rest time at noon.
But factories are different. Factory workers are required to work on and off work. Although they often work overtime, they usually work overtime at night, and employees are still given time to eat and rest at noon.
And the lounge is not boring. After all, it is a racing company. In addition to watching TV, drinking drinks, and playing arcade games, there is also a racing simulator to play in the lounge.
After staying in the lounge until about two o'clock in the afternoon, after drinking the last drink, the three of them got up together and prepared to walk to the Ferrari factory.
The three of them soon arrived in front of Ferrari's factory. The building was not high, but very long, at least thirty meters by visual inspection.
Regardless of appearance, Ferrari's factory buildings are very similar to those rectangular blue-roof factories in domestic heavy industrial parks.
The first floor is just an ordinary glass curtain wall, but the shutters are closed inside for sun protection. On the far left of the second floor is a huge Ferrari logo, which is about two-thirds the size of a floor. The second floor It is also a combination of Ferrari’s classic red and black and white lines.
One thing to say, he is worthy of being engaged in sports car design. This factory building is full of beauty. Qin Miao and Qiu Meng thought it looked good at first sight.
But just when the three of them were about to go in for a visit, a person patted Qin Miao on the shoulder from behind.
Qin Miao turned around in confusion, and then froze on the spot in astonishment.
The person who patted Qin Miao's shoulder was also a little surprised.
"It's really you..."
"Leclerc?"
The two of them were surprised almost at the same time.
At this time, Qin Miao was still wearing his casual clothes, and with Lubos leading him, Qin Miao was not worried about being unable to get in somewhere while wearing casual clothes.
Looking at Qin Miao's dress, Leclerc felt that Qin Miao might be here for a trip.
So he kindly warned: "This is Ferrari's factory, and tourists can't go there.
If you are traveling, I suggest you visit the Ferrari Museum. "
After Qin Miao was shocked to find that the person calling him was Leclerc, he was even more surprised.
Why can a person like Leclerc remember himself, whom he only met once?
But after hearing Leclerc's question, Qin Miao still subconsciously said: "I'm not here to travel, I'm here to work."
Leclerc looked puzzled.
Lubos stood up and explained: "Qin Miao is the youth training driver we just signed."
Leclerc raised his eyebrows, and then a smile appeared on his face. There were even dimples on his handsome face: "Really? Then I have the same vision as the person who signed Qin Miao. I also think Qin Miao is a very good player." Talented driver.”
"Congratulations! I'm really happy for you."
Leclerc even deliberately came over to shake hands with Qin Miao and hugged him, looking at Qin Miao with eyes full of disbelief and surprise.
Facing Leclerc's praise, Qin Miao felt a little embarrassed for a while.
Facing the compliments from others, Qin Miao smiled slightly and accepted it, but Leclerc is a real F1 driver. His status as an F1 driver alone is enough for Qin Miao to put away the arrogance in his heart. , not to mention Leclerc’s almost overflowing talent.
"Excuse me, I may not be as good as you think." Qin Miao said slightly modestly.
Although he knows that Chinese people like to be modest, Leclerc has little contact with them and does not have any specific feelings.
Now after getting to know Qin Miao, Leclerc finally understands why they are said to be humble.
Leclerc knows that if you don't have the strength and talent, it's impossible for you to enter Ferrari's youth training.
Before every youth driver signs a contract, Ferrari youth training executives will conduct extremely strict review and evaluation.
After all, after signing you, Ferrari needs to invest resources to train you, and it is impossible to sign a fool.
Therefore, there is no one who can enter the Ferrari youth training without having... well, Mick is an exception, but other than him, everyone else has more or less something in their hands.
But it is such a person who still has to be humble when faced with something that is at best a boast...
Now Leclerc has clearly realized the reserved nature of the people of this country.
Hey...wait a minute, it seems that Zhou Guanyu and Qin Miao are compatriots, but when we get along with him every day, why don't we see him as humble as Qin Miao?
…
"So who are you now?" Leclerc asked Qin Miao after discarding the thoughts in his mind.
Pointing to the entrance of the Ferrari factory, Qin Miao said: "Lubos is going to take Qiu Meng and I to visit the Ferrari factory."
"That's great. Let's go in together. I still have work to do in the factory today."
Qin Miao really didn't expect that on just his first day of employment, he would meet Leclerc again. The key was that Leclerc still remembered him.
After the three of them entered the factory, Leclerc immediately separated from Qin Miao. He had a German Grand Prix to run this week and had to fly to Germany in the afternoon, so he didn't have much time to waste, so he hurriedly Went to work inside the factory.
Qin Miao and the other three visited Ferrari's various supercar production lines and Ferrari's CNC parts processing center.
After shopping around, I went to the F1 factory.
But there are some places where Qin Miao and Qiu Meng cannot go.
For confidentiality reasons, outsiders are not allowed to visit the chassis, engine and aerodynamics departments.
All Qin Miao can see is the F1 production workshop. Things like the design department are completely off-limits to him now.
When Qin Miao came out after shopping around, he didn't see Leclerc, but it didn't matter at this time.
Because Qin Miao has completed the day's procedures today. He was running around everywhere in the morning and was taken around the Ferrari factory in the afternoon. Even Qin Miao felt a little tired.
Finally, they checked in in front of the Ferrari company and the three of them had dinner together. Today's trip was completed.
After delivering Qin Miao and Qiu Meng to their door, Lubos handed a package to Qin Miao: "These are your daily necessities here, such as mobile phones, phone cards, meal cards, employee ID cards, and schedules. Category.
Originally there was only one copy, but considering that you have family members, I prepared two copies for you with daily necessities such as mobile phones. "
"Go to bed early today and keep up your physical strength." When Lubos said this, he glanced at Qiu Meng, and the meaning of his words was already obvious: "I will come to pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Let’s go for the physical test together, and remember not to eat in the morning.”
Qin Miao was confused: "Do I still need a blood test?"
Lubos nodded: "Physical examination is a necessary process, and we don't want the drivers who have spent all the resources to train to have any physical problems."
Qin Miao nodded clearly.
"Then I won't disturb your rest. I'll see you tomorrow morning." Lubos left work directly after seeing that Qin Miao understood.
Qin Miao also thanked the other party: "I'm sorry to trouble you today."
Lubos nodded and turned to leave.
