The meeting began, and various orders were issued one after another.
Re-inspect all the parts used, especially the domestically produced parts.
Inspect the assembly and assembly work to see if there are any omissions.
Cars undergo factory testing to ensure that there are no problems with the produced vehicles.
We will analyze the data from the recent extreme vehicle tests, evaluate the various performance characteristics of our vehicles, and write a detailed test evaluation report.
The ultimate goal of all this is to organize car test drive events and numerous competitions to showcase the performance of Longteng cars, including speed and comfort.
Previously, Longteng Auto had made a series of preparations for this major operation.
Now that they have decided to start this project, the first thing they need to do is apply to the relevant departments of Pengcheng City and Guangdong Province to hold this major event.
At the same time, they will send invitations to experts from domestic and foreign professional automobile manufacturers, automotive media, business media, and industrial manufacturing fields, inviting them to send personnel with their manufactured cars to Shenzhen to participate in the auto show and competitions.

After finishing his phone call, Chen Dong returned to his room and faced Lao Qin again, but he suddenly didn't want to ask Lao Qin why he had refused.
After a brief silence, he said to Lao Qin, "Lao Qin, I still hope you'll reconsider. Of course, even if you don't ultimately join, we can still be friends."
Hearing Chen Dong say that, Old Qin showed a grateful expression.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Chen. It is my honor to be your friend, and I am honored to be your friend!"
Chen Dong nodded and said to Lao Qin, "Don't mention it, Lao Qin. I admire your knowledge and character. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. No matter what profession you are in, if you do it to the best of your ability, you can stand out from the crowd. What do you think?"
As he spoke, Chen Dong smiled and continued, "I need to trouble you again today. Could you help me with something? I'm planning to give an elder a meaningful birthday gift. Old Qin, could you help me think of something appropriate?"
Seeing Chen Dong's reaction, Lao Qin felt a little relieved. It seemed that Chen Dong wasn't angry and still considered him a friend.
So he asked Chen Dong what his requirements were, especially the birthday celebrant's personality, status, hobbies, and what Chen Dong's thoughts were.
Chen Dong then said that the other party prefers gifts that are not expensive but can reflect traditional culture and are interesting.
Old Qin then began searching the room.
After searching for a while, he selected two items: a slightly older fairness cup and a painting by Qi Baishi titled "Longevity Peach".
Then, Lao Qin explained to Chen Dong, "The Fairness Cup is very suitable. Since he is of such a high status, he must have strict requirements for himself in terms of his work and character, at least to show that attitude. Therefore, this Fairness Cup can perfectly demonstrate his character and fairness in handling matters."
"And this painting, 'Longevity Peach,' as the name suggests, is purely a wish for his long life, with a beautiful meaning."
Chen Dong was very satisfied with the two gifts Lao Qin had mentioned. "Thank you! I think both gifts are very suitable for the elderly. You truly know how to handle people! So, may I give them both?"
Old Qin objected, "Of course, sending two is just right! Good things come in pairs! Especially for such a festive occasion."
Chen Dong thought about it and realized that what Lao Qin said made sense.
That afternoon, Lao Qin was in a hurry to go back, as there were still things at home that he needed to take care of.
Chen Dong asked with concern, "Is it dangerous for you to go back now? Didn't you say that Xiao Dao would cause you trouble again?"
Old Qin shook his head and said, "There will definitely be some trouble, but they haven't used any more drastic measures. In the short term, I think there shouldn't be any major problems."
Hearing what Lao Qin said, Chen Dong could only nod.
However, he was still not quite convinced and said to Lao Qin, "Actually, if possible, you can move here and live in this courtyard. Outsiders won't do anything to you. Here, you can look after Lao Li and the others."
Old Qin was deeply grateful for what Chen Dong said, but he was unable to come for the time being due to his own reasons, and could only express his regret again.
Chen Dong was also helpless, but he could only arrange for Tiger to drive him back.
...
One day later.
When Director Zhao told Liu Huiming about their auto show and racing plans, he was immediately stunned.
"How could you come up with such a bold idea? There are still so few cars in our country, which means there aren't many people or organizations buying cars. But you want to hold a car show now? Not to mention competing with foreign car dealers. What if you lose?"
"Leader Liu, this is what Mr. Chen Dong and I are thinking. Precisely because we are just starting out, competing with them on the same stage, regardless of winning or losing, will be a huge publicity opportunity."
Liu Huiming thought about it and realized it was true; those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.
"As you know, the area where we are most attacked by the outside world right now is the quality of our products. If we can compete with foreign manufacturers on the same stage, then the quality of our products can be fully and fairly demonstrated, and no one will say that we are counterfeiting or anything like that. This is actually what we value most."
"In fact, even if we lose these competitions, the outside world will know about the performance of our cars and our development potential. And if we succeed in one or more areas, that would be even better. Rest assured, we have the confidence and ability to do this well!"
As he spoke, he produced a detailed evaluation report on Longteng Automobile.
Also brought out were a lot of information about foreign cars that were similar to the models they produced.
Liu Minghui was of course aware of what Director Zhao had said.
After seeing the documents that Director Zhao presented, he was surprised to find that Longteng Auto had achieved such a remarkable level of success.
In particular, after seeing the comparison between Longteng Auto and Volkswagen in Shanghai, he found that Longteng Auto was already on par with Volkswagen in many aspects, and even took the lead in terms of localization rate.
Not to mention, Longteng Automobile has only been in operation for a year, while Shanghai Volkswagen has been under construction for almost ten years. That's the difference.
Of course, compared with many foreign brands, Longteng Auto still has many shortcomings, but it can be seen that Longteng Auto has already laid a certain foundation.
Although Director Zhao didn't say it, Liu Huiming knew that if Longteng Auto could really make the car show and competition a success, it would bring endless benefits to Pengcheng, such as greater international and domestic influence and reputation.
If handled properly, the automotive industry could even become a shining symbol of Shenzhen.
