#209 - The game begins

When Andy-Na returned, Lu Haifeng's eyes lit up.

Andy-Na had changed into a pair of tight jeans and a white plaid shirt, tucking the shirt into the jeans, and adding a pair of high heels.

Adding to that, her originally tied-up golden hair was let down and draped over her shoulders, perfectly displaying her figure curves in front of Lu Haifeng.

"Let's go! Mr. Lu!"

Regarding Lu Haifeng's gaze, Andy-Na revealed a confident smile, her big eyes flashing, and then she reached out and took Lu Haifeng's arm, naturally walking into the elevator with him.

Westerners have always had this kind of open personality, and Lu Haifeng was very aware of this.

What Lu Haifeng didn't know was that this was the first time Andy-Na had shown her affection to a man.

Before, some guests had wanted to take advantage of her, but Andy-Na had quietly resolved it.

After the two left the hotel entrance, Andy-Na took Lu Haifeng to wander around New York City for an afternoon, allowing Lu Haifeng to also have some understanding of Beautiful Country.

However, what he understood the most was the cars on the roads of Beautiful Country. It must be said that the models that Americans like the most, besides their own country's brands, are the cars from Little Island Country. Even German and Korean cars are not popular here.

Although the models of Japanese cars sold in Beautiful Country are the same as those in Great Xia Country, the quality is worlds apart.

After all, Beautiful Country is Little Island Country's daddy, so they dare not fool their own father with the cars they sell.

And Great Xia Country is just a fat sheep to Little Island Country, a fat sheep that they can slaughter however they want.

After the two wandered around for an afternoon, on the way back to the hotel, Lu Haifeng asked Andy-Na: "Andy-Na, which brand of car do people in your Beautiful Country like the most?"

"Most people prefer Japanese cars! After all, Japanese cars are cheap, fuel-efficient, and durable. After all, not everyone in Beautiful Country is rich!"

......

The next morning, Lu Haifeng rode in the bus rented by the Audi employees to the venue for the Ward's 10 Best competition.

Located in the suburbs of New York City, this is where the annual Ward's 10 Best competition is held.

Ward's 10 Best is a selection competition specifically for the automotive industry, jointly established by the ten most influential media outlets in the world.

This competition is known for its professionalism, fairness, and rigor.

Moreover, in order to expand its influence, after the live broadcast industry had just emerged, Ward's 10 Best specifically ran to cooperate with live broadcast platforms in various countries around the world to conduct live broadcasts.

The entire selection process takes only a day or two, but it is divided into two parts. The first part is the exterior and interior selection.

In the Ward's 10 Best selection venue, there is a huge exhibition hall. At that time, all the car companies that have signed up to participate will place the participating vehicles in the exhibition hall.

At that time, five thousand viewers who have won the qualification through online lottery will enter the exhibition hall to score the exterior and interior of each brand's vehicles.

Finally, the ten cars with the highest scores will be the winners of this year's Ward's 10 Best in terms of exterior and interior.

And in this part, the manufacturers are not allowed to enter the exhibition hall after the opening ceremony starts, because they are afraid that the manufacturers' people will use methods to attract the attention of the on-site audience and lure the on-site audience to give themselves high scores.

Therefore, the official stipulates that all car companies participating in the selection competition must place their vehicles participating in the selection competition in their respective exhibition areas, and only one car company employee can be left behind.

To explain the advantages of the vehicles to those viewers, and the explaining staff cannot communicate with the viewers in advance, only when someone asks can they start explaining.

At other times, they are not allowed to say a word. There are special supervisors on site. If they are found, the manufacturer's qualification to participate will be immediately cancelled.

The greatest extent of doing this is to prevent some car companies from using other means to attract those viewers to score.

Each of these viewers is drawn from online lotteries all over the world, and the official is responsible for the round-trip air tickets and accommodation. The purpose of inviting them is to prevent these viewers from being bribed by car companies and cheating.

When these viewers enter the venue, they will also be searched. Except for the electronic equipment officially issued for scoring the vehicles, nothing else is allowed to be brought into the venue.

This kind of extravagant and insane rigorous approach makes car fans all over the world feel very admiration for the Ward's official.

This greatest degree of fairness and justice, even the on-site scoring data is displayed in real time on the big screen.

And the second item is also the most anticipated item for audiences who like to watch the Ward's 10 Best official competition item, that is, testing the performance of the vehicles.

Inside the venue, there is a fifty-kilometer racing road, and the entire road is simulated with professional tracks of various terrains.

Those actual cars sent by the major car companies to participate in the competition will be wantonly abused on this track by professional racers.

And these racers are professional racers specially invited by the Ward's official from those car rally races, with the most professional qualities.

Moreover, each racer will sign a contract before the race, which is to ensure perfect fairness and justice in the race.

And in order to prevent the racers from cheating, or favoring a certain car company, if this happens, then the racer will be permanently banned by the media behind the Ward's 10 Best official.

And in the news of major media, the behavior of this racer will be made public, making him the target of public criticism. At that time, losing his job will be the easiest thing. In severe cases, he will be permanently banned from car rally races.

So it is said that every racer invited by the Ward's 10 Best official does not dare to have the idea of favoring any car company.

What's more, at that time, the appearance and everything that can show the manufacturer's logo on each participating car will be removed, and the appearance will also be disguised, only a number will be marked on each car.

Doing so ensures to the greatest extent that all the racers do not know which manufacturer's vehicle they are driving.

And the racers will only know which car they are going to drive by drawing lots until the race is about to start. Each racer will be equipped with a professional assistant to score the car on various roads and in various road conditions.

The Ward's 10 Best official only has one requirement for those racers, that is, to ruthlessly, ruthlessly, trample on the vehicles sent by those car companies, and stimulate all the performance of the engine, gearbox, and chassis for me.

These vehicles will be installed with various high-tech monitoring devices to test the various data of the engine and the manufacturer's tuning skills for the engine and chassis.
