When Carter announced the start of the selection, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became serious, each jury member took the long list, or seriously thought, or read the information, or bowed his head to communicate, the models in this list, each of them is very familiar, each of them is extremely classic, let them make such a choice, it is really a little difficult.

"Mr. Carter, this choice is too painful, why does it have to be called the top ten models? If we make a top 100 model, we will not have such pain. One of the jurors couldn't help but complain.

"I don't have to do any top 100 models, or I just hand over the review of the shortlist to performance testing and consumer questionnaires, which will save us so much difficulty. The other laughed and agreed.

Of course, Carter also knows that these people are joking, if it is really as they say, to make a "800 models of the 80s" or to use performance tests and questionnaires in the selection of the shortlist, then the amount of work required is too great, to organize hundreds of models for performance testing and questionnaires, not to mention the release of this list at the end of this year, even by February next year, there is no guarantee that the list can be released.

Therefore, if you can make a little more effort in the shortlist stage, then the final review in the next stage will be much easier.

"Let's work hard first, and strive to determine the models on this shortlist within two days. Carter said to the crowd with a smile.

"Also, if there are objections to the final shortlist, we can discuss it again and make final adjustments to the list to make it as representative as possible. Ribery also added.

Because considering the existence of personal subjective factors, the shortlist is not the only one that can be determined, but can still be fine-tuned according to different opinions.

Since both Carter and Ribery said so, the rest of the people didn't say much, but lowered their heads and carefully ticked off.

The current list includes most of the models produced by almost all major automakers, including various mini cars, medium and large sedans, luxury cars, top luxury cars, sports cars, off-road vehicles and other categories.

From time to time, there was a rustling sound of pen and paper rubbing and the sound of everyone whispering to each other, since such a list was to be selected, it was necessary to be fair, just and authoritative, so every jury member had to think twice before making a choice, and strive to make the most reasonable choice.

At this moment, Zhou Jingming, who is far away in China, does not know that the evaluation activity is being carried out in the United States, because in the annual model evaluation in previous years, there has never been a domestic car on the list, so the domestic media has not paid much attention to such news, resulting in domestic manufacturers not knowing that there is such a selection activity.

At this time, Zhou Jingming was training Chen Feixiang and several people from the automotive electronics factory on the relevant knowledge of ESP body electronic stability system.

"So according to what I said earlier, the working principle of ESP is that in the case of certain road conditions and vehicle load, the maximum load force that the wheel can provide is a fixed value, in the extreme case, the longitudinal force and lateral force of the wheel are eliminated, and the electronic stability system can control the longitudinal braking force of each wheel respectively, so as to exert influence on the lateral force and improve the handling stability of the vehicle. ”

Zhou Jingming stood in front of a blackboard and drew the schematic diagram of ESP internally on the blackboard as he spoke. In the morning, he had just finished training Zhao Ke on the 16949 system, and in the afternoon, he trained the relevant content of ESP.

"Okay, do you still have any questions about this?" After speaking, Zhou Jingming glanced down and asked with a smile, "Since you have no questions, then I will ask you." ”

Saying that, Zhou Jingming looked at Chen Feixiang, "Xiao Chen, can you tell me how many modules the ESP consists of, and what is the function of each module?"

Under the gaze of so many people, Chen Feixiang did not have any timidity, and stood up generously, "ESP mainly includes, and VDC these functional modules, EBD is mainly to adjust the braking force distribution, to prevent the rear wheels from locking first, TCS is the traction control system, when the vehicle is in a low adhesion rate of the road, the TCS system will prompt the engine to reduce torque, and at the same time apply a slight braking force, so that the vehicle can start smoothly......"

Listening to Chen Feixiang's answer, Zhou Jingming nodded with satisfaction, I have to say that Chen Feixiang, a young man, is still very spiritual and willing to work hard, and he will definitely be able to become the backbone of Tianming Company in the future.

"It's good, it's very thorough, but it doesn't make much sense to grasp the theory so well, and it's more important to be able to apply this knowledge to work. Zhou Jingming smiled, and then continued, "Let's continue, and I will analyze the schematic diagram of each module for you." ”

United States.

The day passed quickly, but the selection of the shortlist was still not over, and the vast majority of people were still hesitating.

"This is definitely the most difficult choice I've ever participated in, there are so many luxury cars, you say Lexus LS400 and Audi 80, do you have to choose one? ”

"You're okay, I'm having trouble choosing a compact car, the logo 205 and Fiat Wuno, I think they're pretty good, they can be used as representatives of the classic cars of the 80s. ”

…………

Listening to these people's complaints, Carter and Ribery couldn't help but look at each other and smile, this time the selection activity is indeed more difficult than before.

"Everyone, hurry up, tomorrow night, we will confirm this shortlist, and we will discuss any problems later. Carter said to the crowd with a smile.

In this way, the next day, it took another whole day, all the members of the jury committee, to check all the models, and after dinner, it was time to count the votes.

Carter and Ribery stood at the front, with the selection sheets handed in by everyone in front of them, Ribery was in charge of the votes, Carter was in charge of counting the votes, and the rest was chosen to be one person as an overseer.

After implementing the corresponding ideas, the counting of votes officially began.

"Luxury car Audi 80, top luxury car Rolls-Royce Phantom ......"

Every time Ribery named a model, Carter would put a bean in the bottle with the corresponding model name, and in the end, the fifty models with the most beans would in principle be on the shortlist.

As the vote count progressed, the winners and losers of the corresponding models in each category were very clear, and after the last selection sheet was over, Carter began to count the final results according to the number of beans.

"Alright, let me announce the preliminary shortlist. After the count, Carter said solemnly.

"Mini car, Peugeot 205, Fiat Wuno, Phoenix sedan......"

"Medium and large sedans, Honda Accord, Toyota Crown, Kirin sedan, Ford Taurus ......"
