In November, Shenzhen seemed to have changed its appearance, becoming even busier than usual.
Especially in the city government's residence, the Longteng Automobile Factory, the test track, and the competition venue, colorful flags were waving and slogans were everywhere.
Many staff members were constantly moving about, providing services to all exhibitors, media, and visitors, making them feel at home.
Newspapers, magazines, and other media outlets from all over the country, as well as many foreign media outlets, came to Shenzhen to gather and report on this grand occasion.
The term "grand occasion" is how Shenzhen describes it.
In China, there are media outlets like Yang Qin's that maintain a relatively objective stance in their reporting. They are unwilling to be influenced by their own subjective judgments.
However, most media outlets, both domestic and international, viewed Longteng Enterprise and its event through a biased lens, seeing it through a layer of frosted glass.
They believe that Longteng Auto and Pengcheng are just doing something sensational.
According to those media outlets, or more accurately, most media outlets, they came to see how Shenzhen would boast about this.
Their purpose is to expose the true colors of the relevant departments in Pengcheng City and Longteng Automobile, so that the general public can see through their ostentatious behavior.
At 9:00 a.m., the opening ceremony of the first Longteng (Pengcheng) Automotive Test Exhibition was held at the Longteng Automotive Factory.
Longteng Automobile Factory had already set up a huge stage at the factory gate.
The leaders of Shenzhen all came, and they took turns to speak on stage, addressing the numerous media reporters in the audience, talking at length about the significance of the event and the preparations they had made.
Then, Mr. Zhao, the factory manager of Longteng Auto, took the stage to introduce the main locations and important contents of the event, including parts testing, various competitions and other aspects, which everyone was free to visit.
The opening ceremony concluded with a Q&A session for the media.
Liu Minghui and Factory Director Zhao, among others, answered questions from media reporters.
The host announced the start of the Q&A session, and numerous reporters sprang to attention, raising their hands in a flurry of activity.
Liu Minghui selected one person.
The other party stood up and asked, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I am a reporter from a domestic newspaper. How confident are Longteng Auto about not making a fool of itself in this event?"
The reporters inside burst into laughter.
Liu Minghui was taken aback.
He never expected that the reporter wasn't there for the Q&A session at all.
He frowned and said to the person next to him, "Next!"
Another foreign journalist was called upon: "Hello, I am a reporter from a certain magazine. As far as we know, China does not yet have the capability to produce qualified cars. How can you prove your ability?"
Factory Director Zhao took the microphone and said, "Whether we have the capability or not, you'll know once you visit our factory!"
What followed was a barrage of questions:
Is Longteng Auto overestimating its capabilities by holding this event?
How does Longteng Auto control its quality?
The scene descended into chaos, with many feeling that the reporters were there to cause trouble rather than to conduct interviews.
This Q&A session had to be ended hastily in the end.
Liu Minghui stated, "The final outcome will be determined by professional testing and a fierce competition!"
The showcase events of various car manufacturers have officially begun.
It is also here that people can see that there are quite a few foreign exhibitors coming to Shenzhen.
Among them were representatives from foreign car companies exhibiting at the event, as well as many ordinary people who came to visit.
After all, in this day and age, the ancient Chinese civilization still seems particularly mysterious.
For them, being able to come to China, get up close to the Chinese people, and understand China is already a wonderful journey.
At that time, most foreigners did not take Chinese automobiles seriously.
In their eyes, China's automobile industry was extremely backward, practically a barbaric land.
Take these two, Tom and Jerry, for example; they both come from Bentley Motors, the American car manufacturer.
As they walked through the exhibition hall, they looked at the scantily clad beauties while constantly finding fault with them.
"Tom, I think coming here was a mistake. That Longteng Motors thing is just messing around and trying to get attention. I don't believe they can produce any cars that are up to standard."
"Haha, I think so too. But haven't you noticed that many of the women here are looking at us strangely? I believe that if we just beckon with our fingers, they'll throw themselves at us."
"That's right. They invited us here to participate in a driving competition, so let's find a few beautiful girls, drive a few cars well, and cheer them on."
As they talked, both of them developed lewd smiles on their faces.
Their words and actions caused those around them to frown.
They probably thought no one understood what they were saying.
Of course, even if they understood, they wouldn't immediately come up and argue with them.
After all, they only talked and didn't do anything outrageous.
Neither of them noticed that a camera was still operating not far away.
Behind the camera was a person, none other than Yang Qin.
Ever since he stole the show at Schulz's party and almost ruined it, he has aroused extreme dissatisfaction among the leadership, who feel that he is like a time bomb that could explode at any moment.
As her initial enthusiasm cooled, Yang Qin realized that her behavior was inappropriate and had almost brought disaster to the newspaper.
He sincerely apologized to the newspaper's leadership.
His attitude showed his remorse to his superiors, and with his mentor intervening, the superiors spared him from dismissal and only gave him a serious warning.
He made this trip to Shenzhen on his own initiative, requesting permission from his superiors and repeatedly assuring them that he would follow their arrangements and not act recklessly, which is why they agreed.
Originally, he was just filming some fun things about Shenzhen and this event, but the appearance of these two foreigners added something different to the shot.
In Yang Qin's opinion, the best approach is to faithfully record the details of this event.
He now has some faith in Longteng Auto, feeling that Longteng Auto must have a certain level of confidence and be able to get things done.
So he started snapping photos all over the venue, trying to capture anything interesting.
Yang Qin initially found the candid shots quite interesting, but he didn't expect their conversation to reach his ears, making him realize how disrespectful these two guys were to Chinese women.
Anger surged within him, but he did not lose his mind. His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, yet he still tried his best to restrain himself, telling himself: Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. I just need to complete the filming task assigned by my superiors, and I must not act rashly.
