Chapter 124 Setting Off to the Racetrack for a Test Drive

"May your motorcycle accompany you on your journey, through all weather!"

After the staff finished speaking, they got into the car and left. Once the staff was gone, Lin Yan directly straddled the Kawasaki H2R.

He inserted the key and revved the engine, driving the bike outside the villa. He took it for a spin around the neighborhood. The power of the supercharged engine was formidable; Lin Yan felt this bike was much faster than his other vehicles.

However, Lin Yan only dared to ride within the confines of the neighborhood. Fortunately, Meilin Garden was large enough for him to get his fill.

After the lap, Lin Yan drove the bike back into the villa's garage.

This was already Lin Yan's fifth vehicle, not counting the one that had been scrapped earlier.

Currently, Lin Yan's garage housed a Kawasaki H2, an RC8, a custom BMW S1000RR, and a ZX25R. Now, a Kawasaki H2R had been added.

When Lin Yan had first bought the ZX25R, he had ridden it a bit. The bike gave him a distinct impression: two words – lightweight. Of course, this wasn't much of an advantage.

Smaller displacement bikes were naturally lighter than larger displacement ones. The only real advantage was its four-cylinder engine.

Lin Yan's garage had ample space before, but now, with these five motorcycles parked, it was becoming rather cramped.

This was especially true considering there was also an old Santana. Lin Yan had already asked Yang Tianming to drive that car away, otherwise, it would just take up space.

"Hey, Lin, aren't you going to ride it some more?"

Vinaless struck a pose with his hands as if driving, speaking to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan also wanted to ride it again, but this bike wasn't street-legal. What fun was riding it only within the neighborhood?

However, Lin Yan planned to go to a race track tomorrow to specifically experience this bike.

Seeing that Lin Yan wasn't going to continue testing the bike, Vinaless felt a bit dejected. He had originally hoped to hitch a ride and try it out himself, but now he felt a bit embarrassed to ask, especially since Lin Yan hadn't even ridden it much himself.

After seeing Vinaless off, Lin Yan went up to the second floor of the villa, took out his phone, and called Lin Guoxiong.

As he bought more cars in the future, garage space was becoming tight. The matter of building a manor truly needed to be put on the agenda.

However, this matter required consulting his "cheap" old man.

The call was quickly answered.

Lin Guoxiong's voice came through,

"What is it, you brat? Speak quickly, your old man is busy."

"I want to buy a piece of land!"

Lin Yan stated directly. Although the other party's words were rough, listening carefully to Lin Guoxiong's tone, it seemed he was in a good mood today.

Indeed, ever since Lin Yan had won two championships, Lin Guoxiong's mood had been improving.

Not only had the stock price of Lin's Corporation risen, but his son had also become more accomplished. It was a double celebration. The only thing that displeased Lin Guoxiong was that a few days ago, the second sons of the Song and Wei families had joined forces to target his son.

Because Lin Guoxiong needed to stabilize the stock market at the moment, he couldn't spare the time to deal with those two families. Otherwise, the Song and Wei families would likely not be doing so well.

With Lin Yan, China's number one genius racer and the first world champion, providing a massive boost in traffic, Lin's Corporation's stock price had surged. The Song family's ambition to be on equal footing with the Lin family had completely vanished.

The reason for this was precisely Lin Yan, so Lin Guoxiong had expected the Song family to target him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Elder Leng for those four bodyguards back then.

"Land? What land, where?"

Lin Guoxiong asked.

Lin Yan told Lin Guoxiong the location of the land in the East District, and Lin Guoxiong quickly replied.

"That piece of land can be bought, but I heard it's a bit chaotic there, and the public security isn't great. Can you handle this?"

Lin's Corporation had also begun venturing into the real estate sector in recent years, and Lin Guoxiong had paid attention to that piece of land. However, it was too remote, to the point it could hardly be considered part of the city, and the facilities were not fully developed, leading to some minor public security issues.

There was a solution: invest money. But it wasn't worth it, as there were plenty of better locations for building commercial buildings and the like.

"I have a way to solve it."

Lin Yan was unaware that Lin Guoxiong was testing his abilities, but he also knew some common sense. If the facilities were incomplete, then invest money. It was a simple and quick method. In a society governed by law, if you install streetlights and surveillance cameras everywhere, would it still be chaotic?

Lin Guoxiong didn't ask further about Lin Yan's proposed solution; it was a rather straightforward problem.

"After buying the land, what do you plan to do with it?"

"I plan to build a manor and invest in building a race track."

This was Lin Yan's idea, but he wasn't sure if Lin Guoxiong would agree.

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Lin Guoxiong on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and nodded to himself.

Building a race track was feasible. With his son's popularity, the race track would surely not lose money.

"Alright, I don't understand anything about race tracks, you handle it yourself. But remember, if you build it, build the biggest and the best."

Lin Yan agreed, as that was his intention. The Lin family should not be short of money; the traffic he had brought this time alone had likely earned Lin's Corporation a considerable amount. Therefore, Lin Yan planned to build one even larger than the Beijing race track.

"However, why are you building a manor, you brat? Don't you have enough villas to live in? Let me tell you, since you're an athlete, you should stay away from those women."

"Uh, okay."

Lin Yan's forehead was covered in a cold sweat. It wasn't "those women" he was involved with, but his own son. However, hearing Lin Guoxiong agree, Lin Yan still felt quite happy.

"Alright, I'll hang up now. I'll arrange for someone to help you with the handover tomorrow. Oh, and remember to come home for your birthday in a few days."

Finally, Lin Guoxiong gave Lin Yan some instructions and hung up the phone.

Lin Guoxiong had many urgent matters to attend to at the company now.

The phone call ended. The manor issue was now resolved, and Lin Yan could put it aside for the time being.

It was already past five in the evening. Lin Yan decided not to visit Su Mojin today. He worked out in the gym and then went to sleep.

The next morning, Lin Yan woke up early and went downstairs. Li Wei had already prepared breakfast and was waiting.

After several days of diligent study, Li Wei's cooking skills had improved rapidly.

Lin Yan even felt that he didn't need to hire a nanny for the time being.

After breakfast, Lin Yan prepared to head to the Beijing International Race Track.

Time for a test drive!

He asked Li Wei to find a trailer, load the H2R onto the trailer, connect it to the G-Wagon, and then Lin Yan and his group were ready to depart.
