Chapter 493: Chapter 492: Instant Empty

“What?” President Liang didn’t understand, “What legend? When did Huaxia have a legendary driver?”

The staff member, agitated, scratched his head, “I’m too excited right now, I don’t even know how to explain it! President Liang, you should look it up online yourself!”

President Liang: ??

He and the other promotion staff opened their phones and immediately saw the pop-up message on Weibo–

Shock!! Racing legend Ya Heng in person!!

President Liang: !!

Impossible…

He muttered to himself, his fingers trembling as he clicked on the message, then he saw Ya Heng dressed in a particularly low-key tracksuit, sitting in their racetrack, smiling and waving to the front.

Beside him sat Lu You, who was already very popular, now also on the verge of becoming a legend…

President Liang: …

He abruptly moved his phone away, calmed down for a few minutes, then went back to have another look, and immediately issued a decisive order, “Add tickets, add tickets!! Increase the price by a hundred!”

Originally, they had anticipated 3,000 spectators, just one third of the total capacity of the venue, and the ticket price had dropped to a pitiful eighty yuan.

Now with a hundred yuan increase, it was just a return to the normal price.

“Okay!” The staff nodded and walked out.

President Liang and others couldn’t wait to go to the ticket-selling computers.

Then, they just watched as the 2,000 physical tickets they’d just added were swept away in a second!

“Ah, this…” The staff looked at President Liang, at a loss.

President Liang, spirited, waved his hand grandly, “Turn all the remaining tickets into e-tickets!”

“Isn’t that a bit problematic?” The head of publicity voiced his concern, “If some people have physical tickets and others have e-tickets, won’t that cause dissatisfaction among those with e-tickets?”

Many people have a hobby of collecting physical tickets, so there’s a significant difference between the effects of physical and electronic tickets.

President Liang felt he made a valid point and then said, “Make it clear on the sales chart, let those who mind not buy.”

The popularity they were seeing was already a huge surprise for him; even if the remaining tickets didn’t sell out, it was fine.

But then…

As soon as it was listed.

Gone in a second.

Buyers expressed: Kidding me, the chance to come into close contact with the greats Ya Heng and Lu You, who would care about what kind of ticket it is!

The tickets, which had been pre-heated for more than half a month, discounted and given away and still couldn’t sell out 3,000, sold 10,000 in just three short minutes!

Even many of those who didn’t manage to get tickets due to poor internet speeds arrived early at the racetrack gate, asking scalpers if they had any tickets, willing to buy at ten thousand yuan each!

This small event, which even big-name magazine journalists had been too lazy to pay attention to, because of the two greats brought by Chi Gui, instantly broke the fastest-ever ticket sales record for a Huaxia racing event!

The surprise wasn’t just for President Liang but also for all the competing team members.

Suddenly, the racers, who’d never received such attention before, got nervous.

Since the start of the race preparations, they weren’t watching their phones and could only see the continuous influx of journalists and crowds; they had no idea what was happening.

Several racers behind Chi Mingkun were also confused, “Has something unexpected happened to our race? Why do I suddenly feel like we’re getting a lot of attention?”

Knowing full well, Chi Mingkun: …

He silently wiped his helmet, “If any of you want to be recruited by an international team, to go to Detha Club or the world team, then run well, try to show yourself as much as possible.”
