5000rpm ......

5200rpm ......

5500rpm ......

The champagne tower on the hood is still as steady as an old dog, and it has no intention of collapsing.

The audience was in an uproar, shouting that this was impossible, and Richard Anderson was the loudest, jumping to his feet and shouting, "I'm Richard Anderson, the editor-in-chief of Car and Driver, and I think this ad of yours is false propaganda...... No car in the world has ever had an engine that runs so smoothly, and what about Mr. Jack Welch? He must come out and give us an account!"

If it was an ordinary melon eater, the staff at the Lexus booth would not have taken them seriously, but since the loudest guy claimed to be the editor-in-chief of "Car and Driver", the staff at the booth did not dare to slack off, and the person in charge of the booth hurriedly came out: "Mr. Anderson, I am the person in charge of the booth......

"Sir," Richard Anderson interrupted without giving him time to introduce himself: "I think your ad is suspected of being very misleading and fraudulent......"

Siakam, who didn't even have a chance to introduce his name to the other party, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mr. Anderson, I understand why you are so excited, but what if I tell you that our car can indeed achieve this level of smoothness?"

In fact, when he first saw this advertisement, Siakam's reaction was similar to that of Richard Anderson, and he jumped on the spot: Isn't this false propaganda and deliberately misleading consumers? If the company puts this ad out and fails to do it, it will damage the reputation of the fledgling Lexus!

"Yes...... Can it be done?"

I didn't expect the staff of Lexus to dare to say this to themselves, Richard Anderson was stunned, he blinked, and even didn't react for a while: Is it too many people and too noisy, I heard it wrong?

Just when Richard Anderson wondered if he had heard it wrong, a voice rang out behind him: "Mr. Anderson, you heard it right, the engine of our car is as smooth as silk." ”

Not...... Does this sound sound familiar?

Richard Anderson subconsciously turned around and saw Chen Geng standing behind him with a smile.

“boss......”

Seeing that his big boss was coming, Siakam hurriedly bowed slightly to Chen Geng.

Nodding to Siakam and praising him for his good handling, Chen Geng looked at Richard Anderson, the editor-in-chief of an automobile magazine in the United States known for his fairness and harshness, with a smile: "What? Mr. Anderson, don't you believe it?"

Richard Anderson reacted quickly, he did not grovel because of Chen Geng's identity and wealth, but nodded: "Yes, Mr. Fernandez, I can't believe that a car can do this, unless ......"

"Unless I can prove it to you on the spot, right?" said Chen Geng without waiting for Richard Anderson to finish speaking.

"Yes. ”

Richard Anderson nodded without hesitation, probably because he felt that his tone was a little stiff, and he did not have enough respect for Chen Geng, a rich man worth enough to rank in the top 20 or even the top 10 in the United States, Richard Anderson hesitated for a moment after speaking, and added: "I don't doubt you, but what you have done is too incomprehensible......

"I understand," Chen Geng nodded with a smile, signaling Richard Anderson not to be excited: "So, let's make a bet?"

Bet?

Richard Anderson frowned: Fernandez Chan is so confident, or is he going to back down this way? If he is going to back down this way......

Scold!

He, Fernandez, also underestimated himself!

Richard Anderson, who thought about it and felt that he would never lose, and took a step back, even if he really lost, he would not lose anything substantial, immediately said: "What to bet on? How to bet?"

This guy is a smart man, Chen Geng smiled, pointed to the Lexus LS behind him and said: "Just bet on whether our car can do this scene as advertised, if I win, Mr. Anderson, you will do a special issue for our LS in "Car and Driver", I don't ask you to say good things for us, as long as we uphold the principle of fairness and objectivity in your "Car and Driver"; if I lose, ......"

After a brief pause, Chen Geng said: "AMC has been advertising on "Car and Driver" for a year, how about it?"

Advertising for a year in Car and Driver?

Richard Anderson's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Deal!"

Richard Anderson was interested in selling Chen Geng, and after thinking about it, he added: "If the Lexus LS can really do what it advertises, not only will I write a feature myself, but I will also replace my Cadillac with your LS." ”

"Okay!

Chen Geng smiled, and he stretched out his hand to Richard Anderson: This guy is really a smart person.

..................

Facts have proved that it is not only the nature of Chinese people to watch the excitement, but also the whole world, I heard that AMC boss Fernandez Chen and "Car and Driver" editor-in-chief Richard Anderson made a bet on the Lexus booth, in the spirit of watching the excitement is not a big deal, the melon-eating masses and even reporters who heard the news immediately flocked to the Lexus booth......

There is nothing more interesting than watching two big people bet in public, the only regret is that there is no Weibo now, there is no "must die", and there is no way to timely publicize this excitement to the enthusiastic melon-eating masses across the country, what a pity......

Some reporters who learned the news late and couldn't squeeze in jumped to their feet in a hurry: With such a big melon, I couldn't get the photos in the first place?

How can this work?

"Let me go! I'm a reporter for Auto Bild! Let me in!"

"! Lao Tzu is still a reporter for Road & Track. ”

In the midst of the quarrel, someone was smarter, and immediately took out a $50 bill from his bag and shouted, "I pay $50, who will give me the place?"

The staff worked hard to squeeze to Siakam's side and told him that there were many reporters outside who wanted to come in and take pictures, and Siakam didn't dare to make an assertion, so he had to ask his boss for instructions: Boss, there are so many reporters outside, what do you think about this?

That's really a problem......

And what a great publicity opportunity.

Just when Chen Geng was thinking about how to discuss with Richard Anderson about changing places so that as many reporters as possible could witness this moment with their own eyes, Richard Anderson took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Fernandez, why don't we change venues?"

He shrugged: "After all...... You see......"

To tell the truth, Richard Anderson really doesn't want to change places, changing places means that "Car and Driver" has no chance to eat alone, but there is no way, there are already so many peers on the scene who know the news, and "Car and Driver" has no chance to eat alone, in this case, then simply be free and easy, sell it to everyone, and not offend his peers, nor Fernandez Chen and AMC.

This guy ......

To be the editor-in-chief of "Car and Driver", my brain is really enough!

Richard Anderson's suggestion surprised Chen Geng a little, but this is the best, after expressing his gratitude to Richard Anderson, and promising to add AMC to increase the number of "Car and Driver" After the advertising efforts, Chen Geng and Siakam discussed a little, and then announced to the eager onlookers that in view of the large number of people who were interested in this test and this bet, in order to let more people eat melons, Lexus decided to immediately negotiate with the organizing committee of the auto show to choose a place as large as possible for testing.

Of course, the auto show organizing committee couldn't ask for this kind of thing, and Chris, vice chairman of the auto show organizing committee, who rushed over, immediately said that he would provide a large enough venue for Lexus...... If the Lexus LS was as good as advertised, he wouldn't mind swapping his Lincoln for the LS.

........................

The charm of "melon" is huge, in the face of such a large "melon", all parties have shown extremely high efficiency, the auto show organizing committee soon arranged an area of up to 400 square indoor venues, in order to avoid the impact of the wind to the greatest extent, not only that, the auto show organizing committee also connected the live broadcast signal, the people who eat melons can live broadcast live through the five large screens indoors and outdoors in real time to the enthusiastic "eat melons" masses.

Under the live broadcast camera and the lens of dozens of reporters, a 750ml bottle of Moët & Chandon champagne was slowly poured into 15 champagne glasses, and Chen Geng's beautiful female assistant personally put these champagne glasses on the hood in layers of "5, 4, 3, 2, 1", and then asked Chen Geng, who was already sitting in the car, to make an "OK" gesture.

Chen Geng took a breath, stretched out his hand and twisted the key to say hello, accompanied by the soft sound of the starter, the champagne tower composed of 15 champagne glasses was as stable as an old dog, and was not affected at all - seeing this scene, the reporters and the people who eat melons were all relieved without exception: at this time, it is the most likely to have accidents.

But Chen Geng, who looked calm, began to gradually increase the throttle, through the lens on the back seat facing the tachometer, the people who eat melons can clearly see that the engine speed is slowly but firmly rising, from 800 rpm per minute at idle speed to 1000 rpm, 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm, 2500 rpm......

The people who eat melons seem to be affected by the solemn atmosphere of the scene, looking at the slowly climbing speed and the champagne tower on the hood, many people dare not take a sip - probably only the executives of the luxury car brands on the scene think differently from the 2 crowds, and they wish that the champagne tower would collapse quickly.

Unfortunately, the engine speed climbed all the way to 3000 rpm, 4000 rpm, 4500 rpm......

When the speed of the engine finally came to the position of 5500 rpm of the red line, and kept it slightly, and the champagne tower on the hood was still as stable as at the beginning, the people who ate melons on the scene could no longer hold it back, and burst into warm applause!
