Therefore, after development, this Ward's 10 Best competition has also become a must-compete arena for major automobile companies in the world.
Ward's 10 Best is divided into four categories: Ward's 10 Best Engines, Ward's 10 Best Interiors, Ward's 10 Best Exteriors, and Ward's 10 Best Chassis Designs.
This is a highly professional competition. To participate in the competition in these categories, major automobile companies need to use new cars that are about to be mass-produced or models that have already been mass-produced and launched on the market.
In other words, this competition is very realistic. The models you register to participate in the competition, including the interior, engine, transmission, and chassis, must use mass-production standards or new cars that have already been launched.
It's not about using various data from the laboratory to fool consumers. Moreover, if you win an award in the competition and it is later discovered that the data of the vehicle you used in the competition differs greatly from the mass-produced model, the organizer will revoke the automobile company's eligibility to participate in the competition for the next five years and will also publish an article criticizing the automobile company, explaining from a professional perspective how the automobile company is fooling consumers, or even fooling the organizer.
In general, this competition is a very fair, open, and transparent competition where everyone competes with genuine materials.
No one can fool anyone. Moreover, during the competition, in addition to the engine and chassis evaluation, dozens of professional drivers need to test and score, and finally, the total score is obtained.
The vehicle interior design and vehicle exterior design competitions are all decided by the votes of thousands of spectators at the competition site.
After all, whether the interior and exterior of a car are excellent depends on the choice of consumers, so the organizer also cleverly handed over the voting rights to the consumers themselves to choose.
To prevent automobile companies from bribing consumers, the audience at the Ward's 10 Best competition site is selected through a system lottery from applicants from all over the world.
Lu Haifeng said, "Uncle Zhao, I know. Anyway, there are still ten months before the next evaluation. This time is enough to design a new model."
Zhao Jianhua replied on the other end of the phone, "President Lu, the Audi A4 production line has been adjusted and can be mass-produced. Should we take this car to participate in Ward's 10 Best first? I'm afraid it's too late to design a new model, after all, ten months is definitely not enough to complete it."
A new car, from project initiation to design to trial production, requires at least two years to complete.
However, those are just the normal new car procedures for other automobile companies. For Lu Haifeng, with the system in place, these are not a problem at all. Isn't it just a new model?
Yesterday, he had already purchased the appearance and various data of three new models from the system as the second batch of models for the Audi brand.
These three cars are Audi's most classic A6L, A8L, and the Audi TT two-door sports car launched for the female market.
"Uncle Zhao, don't worry about these. You just need to keep an eye on the A4 production line, and leave the rest to me! I'm determined to get the country's 50 billion interest-free loan and that large piece of land."
Lu Haifeng took out the design drawings of the three models placed in the safe, and he would send them directly to the laboratory later to speed up research. The Audi models he purchased were the latest models of Audi from his previous life.
The reason for choosing this is because Lu Haifeng's favorite is Audi's black technology car headlights. The name of the "Lighting Factory Audi" is not for nothing.
The matrix LED headlights, coupled with the concise and sharp dual-structure daytime running lights, make the new Audi A4L full of a fierce sporty atmosphere.
Moreover, Lu Haifeng also discovered a very strange phenomenon, that is, in this world, it seems that all automobile companies do not care much about the design and shape of headlights.
Except for the headlight designs of a few German luxury models such as Benma, Baolai, and Autuo, the headlights of other brands are simply like cars from the last century.
Moreover, the design of this daytime running light has never appeared in this world, which makes Lu Haifeng very confused! Could it be that the brain circuits of those designers have suddenly deviated?
They only focus on the exterior and interior, but do not pay attention to the lighting design of a car.
This is also the reason why Lu Haifeng has a breakthrough to enter the luxury car market. After all, as consumers, when looking at cars, the first thing they see is not the performance and interior of the vehicle, nor is it any high technology.
It is the appearance. Whether the appearance of a car can attract consumers' attention in an instant directly determines whether the car sells well.
Lu Haifeng stood up and took the design drawings to prepare to go to the laboratory. At this time, Secretary Xiao Ai came in and said, "Ren Zong and Xu Zong of Huawei are here."
He was stunned for a moment, then said to Xiao Ai, "I know, please invite them to the VIP room, I will be there soon."
Lu Haifeng put the design drawings back into the safe, walked out and saw Zhang Yu smiling and said:
"Ren Zong and Xu Zong of Huawei are here. Go to the VIP room with me to meet them!"
"Okay, President Lu."
Lu Haifeng took Zhang Yu, also smiled, and then casually said: "Huawei's visit this time is very unexpected, I don't know what they are here for."
"Many of our Huaxing's policies are imitating Huawei. Frankly speaking, Grandpa Ren was once my idol."
"Speaking of which, the only company in China that can produce information and communication technology is Grandpa Ren's Huawei. In the field of information communication, it ranks first among the top 100 consumer electronics companies in the country and third in the world."
"According to Huawei's growth rate, it will surpass Gao Tong within five years and become the world's number one, of course, if it is not suppressed."
Lu Haifeng sighed deeply and said admiringly: "Grandpa Ren published "Huawei's Winter" more than ten years ago, and a few years ago, he very foresightedly proposed the extreme survival hypothesis and formulated a series of backup plans.
Many people thought that Grandpa Ren was just putting on a show and attracting attention. Hehe, a group of short-sighted people, these people are not even close to Grandpa Ren in terms of vision and mind."
