Chapter 1553: Crushed From the Start
Representatives from various car companies all arrived in Shanghai, bringing their vehicles for election. Representatives of those top car companies, each one is full of confidence.
Their cars could win awards in other awards, so how could they not be awarded in the Pearl Awards held for the first time? They don't get the award, who is eligible to win the award?
The representatives of those small car companies were beaming. They were not eligible to participate in the many awards before. Being able to come this time, and being with those top car companies, the exposure has greatly increased.
All the major media around the world have paid attention to this grand occasion, which has received more attention than any previous auto industry awards.
Not only auto media reporters, but also various media such as economics have sent representatives, and even the number of reporters may be more than the representatives of these auto companies.
However, these reporters have also been notified in advance that this time is not just an award, but also an auto show, which lasts for one month, and the results of the awards will be officially announced one month later.
So the time left for the reporters to interview is very long, so please don't block them. If any media is out of order, please leave.
Although those reporters usually look very good, but when they encounter a tough organizer, they dare not make mistakes. Their toughness requires the support of the media behind them.
But which media would offend so many top companies?
Once someone is expelled, the biggest possibility is that they will be fired from the company, and the company will also say that this is their personal behavior and has nothing to do with the company.
Every representative of a car company enters the venue and rides in the car of his own company. This is also an opportunity for them to show off. Either a new car or the most famous one.
Feng Yu also took the Songjiang car into the arena, but he didn't get out of the car. It was Li Dafu who got out of the car to take pictures. Li Mingde said that he was getting old, and this kind of opportunity should be given to Li Dafu. The company will also need Li Dafu to take the helm in the future.
Zong Qingxian gave the opening speech, and everyone applauded for the sake of face. The scene looked pretty good.
But when Zong Qingxian announced that a total of 12 awards will be selected this time, and all of them will be selected through online voting, those reporters were overjoyed.
Unlike those car companies, they knew the news in advance. However, some of them inquired about the content of the invitation. Didn't they say that the representatives of the car companies voted for it?
They thought that Songjiang Motors had attracted so many small car companies because they knew it was difficult to win awards, and they intended to win by numbers. They Huaxia people have always been good at this.
But no one expected that this time the Pearl Award would adopt such a selection method, and those top car companies would accept it?
And why there are only twelve awards, is it too few?
And the reporters were very curious, obviously this time it was hosted by Taihua Holding Group, Feng Yu's signature was also on the invitation, but what about Feng Yu? Why didn't it show up?
Even if Feng Yu is going to give the closing speech, he should show up at the opening, right?
Representatives of other car companies are also looking for it. Why didn't Feng Yu show up? Feng Yu was sitting in the office right now, watching the live broadcast on the big screen.
He also looked at the reactions of the representatives of major car companies. When he searched out the award rules, although many people showed dissatisfaction on their faces, no one stood up to object.
Regardless of whether they gave Feng Yu face, or felt that it would be impolite to stand up and oppose, or thought that no matter what the selection method was, they could win the award, in short, the opening ceremony went well.
When Zong Qingxian finished introducing the participating vehicles of each car company and announced the start of voting, everyone saw twelve leading vehicles quickly appearing on twelve large screens.
As soon as I came up, I saw that Songjiang Automobile ranked first and second in the number of votes. The first place was a new coupe, named Songjiang-B1, with 13,625 votes. The second place is Songjiang's new elf, with more than 10,000 votes.
As for the top-ranked vehicles in other awards, none of them had more than 5,000 votes.
After all, this is just the beginning, less than a minute. But at the very beginning, it showed such a big lead, which made other car companies look bad.
They were a little unconvinced that Songjiang-B1 occupied the Crossover Pearl Award. Most car companies have crossover cars. This Songjiang-B1 looks okay, but those who voted, have they understood the performance of this car? Why did they vote for him? Shouldn't the most typical crossover be a combination of an SUV and a sedan?
As for the Value Pearl Award for the second place, it is to choose the most cost-effective car from cheap cars. Songjiang-Elf is the best among the others with its selling price of 2,000 US dollars.
The same performance model, they need almost 2,000 dollars to produce, counting other costs, they will definitely lose money at this price.
As for other models, no matter whether it is Songjiang Automobile or other car companies in China, they are all shortlisted, but the possibility of winning the award is very small.
If you organize other people and get all the prizes yourself, it doesn't mean that no one will come next year.
Now that they occupy two, others can't say anything, they can't compete for the elf, but the number of votes for this B1 is so high, which makes them quite unconvinced.
After a while, there was a change on the big screen. A car from Crazy Field, which was initially leading, was overtaken by a car from Dezhong.
The boss of Dezhong had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't care much about this, after all, this would last for a month.
However, if the number of votes is high, it can be displayed on the big screen with a larger font, and the brand's huge LOGO, so that more people can see it, is also a kind of publicity.
And such an intuitive vision will seem to press other brands below.
At the same time, representatives of other car companies also secretly decided to arrange people to vote immediately. Not only to win the final prize, but also to increase exposure now.
It's just that they were a little surprised by the votes for the two cars of Songjiang Automobile, but they didn't think it was abnormal for the time being. No need to ask, it must have been voted by people from Taihua Holdings.
Just over 10,000 votes, how much impact can it have. How come the winner won't have millions of votes?
Feng Yu looked at the number of votes on the big screen and turned to ask Wu Zhigang, "Is this number of votes normal?"
Wu Zhigang immediately said: "It's all normal, any number of votes is real and valid."
"Let you build momentum on the Internet and canvass for our two cars?"
"It's been done. I've contacted Li Yanhong and the others. The number of registered users on their website has increased a lot in the past few days. They are all Chinese. They won't vote for other car companies, right?"
Feng Yu said seriously: "Gangzi, you still have to pay attention to this. There are still many people who like foreign cars. After all, these car companies have given others a very good impression. We can't just because we are a Chinese car company. , I thought they would definitely vote for us."
"It is still necessary to guide them properly so that they will vote for us willingly. Also, be careful not to be diverted by other domestic car companies. We have made such a big battle, and we must win the prize. The number of votes, from the beginning to the end In the end, we have a crushing advantage!"
