#157 - Betrayal
Lu Haifeng didn't know what the heads of the various car brands were thinking, but they said, "Mr. Lu, you're overthinking it. How could that be possible!"
"With such open, fair, and just testing, who would question it now?"
"Look, Mr. Qiao Pu is keeping silent, doesn't that prove he highly approves of this safety crash test?"
"Mr. Qiao Pu, please make a statement. After all, your remarks just now were a bit abrupt."
"Mr. Qiao Pu, you should make a statement. I think Mr. Lu is generous enough not to hold it against you."
The heads of these car brands didn't dare to target Lu Haifeng, but one by one, they turned their heads and began to pressure Dujie-Qiao Pu.
As the saying goes, 'Better a dead Taoist than a dead friend,' so for their own benefit, they decisively abandoned Dujie-Qiao Pu.
Anyway, it's not their face that's being lost. What's the value of your, Dujie-Qiao Pu's, face? This whole thing was your doing anyway.
Looking at Lu Haifeng's posture now, if Dujie-Qiao Pu doesn't make a statement, he definitely won't let it go.
Since that's the case, they'll force Dujie-Qiao Pu to make a statement, or else they'll suffer along with him.
At this time, Dujie-Qiao Pu was extremely angry. You guys can't handle Lu Haifeng, so you turn around and attack your own allies.
So this is what so-called allies are like? In the face of their own interests, anyone can be abandoned.
Now his heart is completely cold, and he's even more hostile to the heads of these car brands. But even if he's angry and hostile, what can he do?
Looking at the situation, if he doesn't make a statement, this matter will definitely not be over. Even if he gets past the other car brand heads, he can't get past Lu Haifeng.
Did he really have to retest? Even if he had ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare. The consequences of retesting would be far more serious than admitting defeat.
So, he reluctantly said to Lu Haifeng, "Mr. Lu, how could that be?"
"I naturally have no objections to the fairness and impartiality of this five-star car crash test."
"I take back what I said just now, and I hope you don't take it to heart."
After speaking, he left with a gloomy face. He really didn't have the face to continue staying there, and he was even ashamed to be associated with these car giant heads.
Anyway, Benma's five-star safety test has already been completed, so why continue to stay here and be a laughingstock.
And Lu Haifeng, after hearing Dujie-Qiao Pu's words, didn't continue to pursue the matter. He was already very happy to see the heads of these car brands bow their heads.
Everything in excess is as bad as everything in deficiency, so it's good to stop when you're ahead. Besides, even if he continued to insist, these car giants would have to agree.
What if they all quit? How would this five-star safety crash test continue?
He wants to establish Audi's testing standards through this five-star safety crash test, and he can't let it be ruined like this.
At the test site, the Audi A4 is still being tested, with a series of side collisions, foreign object impacts, and other test items.
In each test item, the Audi A4 showed very excellent safety performance, dazzling the audience and eliciting constant cheers.
But for the heads of those car brands, it was even more bitter and depressed.
The final test evaluation results were released, and the Audi A4 unsurprisingly achieved excellent results.
Occupant Protection: 97 points
Child Protection: 97 points
Pedestrian Protection: 96 points
......
Comprehensive Score: 95 points
Safety Star Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
When the complete test results of the Audi A4 were announced, the audience immediately exploded.
"I knew the Audi A4 was the best."
"Great! The Audi A4 actually reached a five-star level, and with a super high score of 95 points, it's simply crushing the whole field."
"Of course, with such excellent results, which other car brand can compare?"
"Hey, am I the only one who noticed that these car giants are all here to deliver food to Audi?"
"These car giants are licking their faces to be taken care of by Audi."
"I originally thought that the Benma B250 reaching a four-star level should be the most outstanding product in terms of overall performance, but I didn't expect the Audi A4's safety performance to be so strong."
"Top safety performance, top technology configuration, why buy a car if not an Audi?"
Looking at the reaction of the audience in the live broadcast room, you can tell how much they praise the safety performance of Audi cars.
As for the other car brands, they have long been abandoned by the audience. Can other car brands be safer than the Audi A4?
What if the price is lower and it's cheaper? As the saying goes, 'You can afford to buy it, but you don't have the life to use it.'
Not many people who can afford this level of car will care about an extra fifty to sixty thousand in price.
Now, the Audi A4 not only has excellent safety performance, but also surpasses cars of the same level in other aspects.
It is estimated that after this five-star safety crash test, the sales of the Audi A4 will usher in a peak.
The Audi A4's safety test has come to a perfect end, but the entire safety test event is still in progress.
The remaining car brands also carried out a series of tests one after another. Although they knew they had no chance of winning, they were extremely reluctant to lose face here.
You know, continuing the crash test is not just about losing face. After the crash test results come out, it also means that the competitiveness of their products will become weaker.
But at this point, even if they know that their products have already lost, they have to bite the bullet and continue.
If they don't participate in the crash test and withdraw at this time, wouldn't that be telling the world that they can't afford to lose? At the same time, consumers will also doubt the safety of their products.
If you don't dare to participate in the crash test, doesn't that mean that your product is not as good as even the worst of the previous products?
Continuing to participate in the crash test has serious consequences, but not participating in the crash test and leaving directly will have even more serious consequences.
When two rights are in conflict, choose the lesser evil. It's better to lose the battle than to lose the war. If you can't beat Audi, then at least you might be able to get a good ranking.
Anyway, they can't compete with Audi now, so they try their best to compete for second and third place.
If they can get a good ranking, then at least their products still have a little bit of competitiveness.
In short, they are now being roasted on the fire by Lu Haifeng, unable to advance or retreat. They can only grit their teeth and rush forward, and they have to swallow the bitter fruit they planted with tears.
Therefore, among the foreign car companies participating in this five-star crash test, except for Benma B250 reaching a four-star level, the rest are basically three-star or two-star level.
Speaking of which, only Benma, one of the three luxury brands, got a four-star level, while the other two only got a three-star level, which made the other two very angry.
So far, the first five-star safety crash test held by Audi has completely come to an end.
