While Ribery was at odds with the jury, Carter remained silent, considering the most reasonable way to resolve the current controversy.

In all fairness, Carter must be reluctant to remove the Kirin sedan from this shortlist, because he feels that either of these two cars is enough to represent the vane of the development of the automobile industry in the entire eighties, and there is no reason why such a historic model cannot even enter the shortlist!

In this case, what is the point of this selection of the top ten models of the 80s?

Don't force a change in the rules to take into account the fact that more models are covered!

"Okay, you all don't argue, I'll give you my opinion first. Just as the two were about to argue further, Carter waved his hand and said.

Because Carter has a high status in automotive magazines, as soon as he said this, Ribery didn't say anything more, but quietly waited for Carter to express his opinion.

"I agree with Mr. Ribery's point of view, the Kirin car must not be removed from the shortlist, this is my personal opinion, from the point of view of fairness and justice, the Kirin car entered this list through your vote, I can't ignore the opinions of the rest because of your proposal, moreover, I dare not say whether the Kirin car can finally be selected into the list of top ten models, but the qualifications of the shortlist, he can definitely occupy one!"

Carter glanced at everyone, and then continued, "I don't know what kind of considerations you put the Phoenix sedan and Kirin sedan into your own selection list, but I, and Mr. Ribery, appreciate these two cars from the bottom of my heart, whether it is from the exterior styling, or the internal performance, they are definitely the best in the same class of vehicles, if you don't believe it, you can take a look at the next performance test and consumer satisfaction survey, the data will not deceive us." ”

Carter said so, and the juror, who had insisted on removing the Kirin from the shortlist, looked up at the list on the whiteboard again, and said nothing.

"Do you have any other comments? You can bring them up again, and we'll have a further discussion. Seeing this, Carter smiled and continued to ask.

In the following period, the jury discussed the remaining issues in depth and finally established a shortlist of 50 models. Compared to the original list that was voted on, the final shortlist has changed slightly in terms of models, but basically maintains the original results at the time of the initial vote.

Now that the candidate list has been determined, the next step is to follow the normal process, the corresponding performance test and consumer satisfaction survey of the fifty models, compared with the shortlist that was determined in only two days, the next work is the highlight, especially the hundreds of thousands of questionnaires, the manpower and material resources required are even more difficult to measure, there is no way to complete it without two weeks, can only wait patiently.

At the same time, Zhou Jingming, who is far away in China, is fully committed to the work of the automotive electronics factory, the development of the ABS system has all ended, and has applied for the relevant patents, the company is currently evaluating the possibility of putting into production ABS system, is expected to be at the beginning of next year, the construction of the production line will be carried out, before the end of the first half of the year, it will be able to officially carry out the ABS system production.

After the completion of the ABS system development project, Zhou Jingming set up an ESP system research and development project team non-stop, preparing to shift the focus of the automotive electronics factory to the research and development of ESP.

According to Zhou Jingming's memory, Bosch will start to develop the ESP system after entering the 90s, that is to say, only Tianming Automobile Company is developing the ESP system in the world, and the rest of the companies, such as Bosch, have such an immature concept at most.

Zhou Jingming wants to preempt the Bosch company, the ESP system patents are all registered, the company is currently in a stage of rapid development, the capital is indeed a little tight, the benefits of direct injection technology to the company are obvious to all, once the ESP system patent can be applied for, it will definitely bring a huge wealth to Tianming Automobile Company.

Of course, in exchange for patent fees is only secondary, and more importantly, Zhou Jingming wants to use the ESP system to officially enter the world automotive electronics market and wrestle with old companies like Bosch and Continental!

"From next week, according to the group I just had, we will officially start the research and development of the ESP system, and we will report on the project once a week, and the person in charge of each group will report the progress of the group, and come to me for coordination in time if there is any problem. In the conference room of the automotive electronics factory, Zhou Jingming was making work arrangements, and at the bottom, Chen Feixiang and other technicians were sitting.

Because the ESP system is composed of several modules, Zhou Jingming is grouped according to each module and designs the corresponding electronic devices, and Zhou Jingming, as the general leader, is responsible for the technical guidance and coordination of the entire system design.

After arranging the corresponding work, Zhou Jingming left the leaders of several groups behind, gave a few words of instruction individually, and then left the conference room.

In the following time, Zhou Jingming devoted all his energy to the research and development of the ESP system, thanks to the training done by Zhou Jingming some time ago, and Zhou Jingming also participated in the development of this project, so the project ran very smoothly, and there were no problems in the initial period of time.

Two weeks later, Consumer Reports has completed the performance tests of all 50 vehicles and given scores according to the corresponding standards.

At the consumer satisfaction survey, the results of all the questionnaires are also being counted, and the final results will be available soon.

At this moment, Carter, Ribery and others are registering and summarizing the results of the performance test, although this result does not represent the final result, but generally speaking, the top ten models in the performance test can basically be on the final list.

"The Audi 80 has a combined score of 8.5 points in the road test, 9 points in the reliability test, and 7.5 points in the safety test, for a total of 25 points. ”

Ribery holds the performance test review sheets for each model in his hand and is responsible for the announcement, while Carter is on the side to put it together.

"It is a representative of classic luxury cars, and this score is far better than the rest of the candidates. ”

"Audi is still Audi after all, and it is definitely at the forefront in terms of comprehensive performance. ”

…………

The rest of the jury on the side, after hearing Ribery's words, couldn't help but admire.

"Next, Toyota Crown ,......"

…………

As Ribery read down one by one, Ribery soon got the test results of the Kirin sedan, because this test was commissioned by a third-party agency, so before that, he didn't know what the specific results were.

However, when he saw the specific score of the Kirin sedan, Ribery stayed there for the whole person, because the results in his hand showed that the Kirin sedan scored 10 points in all performance tests!

All of them are perfect marks!
