#213 - Official Start

After a rapid-fire explanation, the streamer immediately turned the camera towards Jaime Medina, the host of the opening ceremony.

At that moment, Jaime Medina was announcing that a car company from Daxia had joined this year's Ward's 10 Best competition, a company called Audi Motors.

After uttering the name Audi Motors with surprise, Jaime Medina expressed his approval and support for the car company from Daxia.

He expressed his hope that Audi Motors would achieve good results in this year's Ward's 10 Best selection.

However, these were just polite words, as neither Jaime Medina nor the viewers in the live stream believed that Audi Motors, participating in the Ward's 10 Best selection for the first time, would win any awards.

After all, in their view, Daxia was a very backward country, and Daxia had only just begun in terms of technology and industry.

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I won't say much more. Next, as usual,"

"It's time for our opening ceremony guests to come on stage. I know many viewers have already received information about the guests in advance. I must admit, your news channels are really awesome!"

After a very exciting opening ceremony, the first segment of the day began: the Ward's 10 Best vehicle exterior and interior selection event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful opening ceremony has come to an end. Now, let us move on to the first segment of the day!"

"Now, please welcome the five thousand lucky viewers from all over the world to enter the venue in an orderly manner and score the most beautiful vehicle exteriors and interiors today!"

"Now I announce that the Ward's 10 Best vehicle exterior and interior selection event is officially... starting!!!"

With Jaime Medina's loud roar, the audience outside the venue began to cheer wildly.

Meanwhile, the Audi Motors employees beside Lu Haifeng were all clenching their fists, extremely nervous.

Lu Haifeng, on the other hand, looked calm. He didn't really care about the exterior and interior selection, because the most important thing about participating in Ward's 10 Best this time was the engine selection.

The five thousand audience judges from all over the world, who had been waiting outside the venue, began to enter the exhibition hall in an orderly manner after undergoing strict body searches.

Lu Haifeng and the people from the major car companies were arranged by Ward's officials in a rest area outside the exhibition hall.

Inside, there were dozens of large screens, allowing each car company to see the situation of their vehicles in their respective exhibition areas.

There was also a large screen that displayed the exterior and interior scores of each car company's vehicles in real time.

Lu Haifeng saw on the big screen that the salesperson who had been left behind was standing in the Audi Motors exhibition area, seemingly nervously waiting for the audience judges to enter.

When the first wave of audience judges walked into the exhibition hall and saw the vehicles of the first car company, they began to score the exterior of that car company's vehicles based on their first impressions, from 0 to 10 points, completely depending on the audience judges' preferences.

The car company representatives in the rest area also began to move around after seeing the first batch of audience judges enter the exhibition hall, especially the vehicle designers, who began to talk in the rest area.

"I think this year's first place in exterior design will be taken by that guy Carlos Rojas again!!"

"Yes, last year he won the first place in Ward's 10 Best exterior with a new Kia model!"

"This guy is really a pervert, designing a new model every year!"

"He also takes a big advantage, because when we design models, there are restrictions, and we can't make too many changes. He designs vehicles with completely new exteriors, so he is not subject to any restrictions!"

"That's right, but this year's Ward's 10 Best exterior will definitely have our Benma!"

"Our Baolai is not bad either!"

"And our Alto!"

"Our Ford will definitely win an award!"

… …

Now these car company designers are all starting to boast about the new car designs they have designed, how many concepts and the latest design techniques have been used compared with the old models. In short, one sentence is to boast as much as possible.

At this time, a person also came to Lu Haifeng's side. The German came to Lu Haifeng and said: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am Walter, the design director of the German Volkswagen Group!"

Lu Haifeng nodded lightly and said, "Hello, I am Lu Haifeng, the chairman of Audi Motors!"

At the same time, he also knew that the person from Volkswagen Group was definitely not well-intentioned. Sure enough, Walter's next words confirmed Lu Haifeng's thoughts.

"Mr. Lu's company, my colleagues in Daxia have already called me and said that your company is very famous in Daxia!"

"But this is the United States. I personally admire Mr. Lu's courage to participate, but the ending has already been decided."

"This year, our Volkswagen Group has brought the completely redesigned CC and Golf. The exterior adopts the latest family design and is modified for various details. It will definitely be loved by consumers!"

"The exterior and interior designed by the Volkswagen brand are definitely the most in line with human aesthetics!"

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, although I haven't seen your company's car, I can also guess that your car must be imitating the exterior and interior of a certain car company again."

"Mr. Lu, please forgive me, we Germans are just so direct!"

Walter babbled a lot, just boasting about his design ability and incidentally hitting Lu Haifeng's self-esteem.

In his perception, the exterior design of Daxia cars is called imitation in a nice way, and plagiarism in a bad way.

Moreover, before participating in the Ward's 10 Best selection, Walter received a call from his colleague in Daxia, asking him to take the opportunity to make the chairman of Audi Motors recognize the reality and give him a lesson.

So as soon as Walter saw Lu Haifeng, he immediately came over.

Lu Haifeng glanced at Walter lightly and asked, "Mr. Walter, have you been to Daxia? Do you know anything about Daxia's car companies?"

Walter didn't understand why Lu Haifeng would ask this, but he still shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm too busy with work and don't have time to go!"

After hearing his words, Lu Haifeng said with a disdainful expression: "Mr. Walter, since you haven't been there and don't know, then please shut your stinky mouth and stay where it's cool!"

"You…! Damn it, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?"

Walter was so angry at Lu Haifeng's attitude that he pointed at Lu Haifeng and roared, so angry that he couldn't speak.
