Founded in 1923, Time Magazine was one of the first weekly newsweeks to emerge more than half a century ago, providing a window into global news for a new and growing international readership. At the same time, it is also one of the three major current affairs weeklies in the United States, with a wide range of contents, expressing opinions on international issues and tracking and reporting on major international events. Time is available in the main and international editions of the United States, as well as European, Asian and Latin American editions. The European edition was published in London and also covered events in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, while the Asian edition was published on Hong Kong Island and the South Pacific edition was published in Sydney, covering Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.

When Time was founded, it was declared that it was intended to enable "busy people" to fully understand world events. The journal features a week's worth of news, which is organized, categorized, and provided with background material for analysis and interpretation. The slogan of Time is: "It is as if the Time was written by one man's hand for another person to read." "Its reports on various fields are not written for experts in various fields, but for the 'busy people' of Time. ”

At that time, the audience market in the United States was occupied by many newspapers, and the newspaper reports were overwhelming, but they seemed to be disorganized, so that readers could not figure it out, and they could not quickly find what they needed to know and pay attention to in the news.

Based on the United States and paying attention to the world, it can be said that it has always been a major feature of "Time".

Time is extremely sensitive to news, and wherever there is good news, there are Time reporters. Its pen touches every corner of the world.

On 15 March 2002, a small column called "World Outlook" reported news from more than a dozen countries and regions, including the Middle East, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Afghanistan, Algeria, Pakistan, Nanxian, India, the United States, and Canada. Time traces the ins and outs of isolated events, introduces foreign countries, describes their territory the size of Oregon or Montana, invokes their political situation, helps readers overcome difficulties in pronouncing names, and uses charts that newspapers never used. It personalizes complex international issues and, in the process, breaks the suffocating frame of journalism.

Of course, in terms of the timeliness of information, Newsweek cannot compete with TV news and newspapers that provide general information, and its influence mainly comes from the authority of its information. The authority of information is actually a reflection of the comprehensive strength of a newsweek, at least a comprehensive embodiment of its news gathering ability, analysis and processing ability, and post-production ability. As a mainstream news weekly, Time has become a brand publication with international influence with its indisputable news performance. And this brand identity is reflected in its ability to be easily imitated, replaced, and surpassed by others, reflected in its style, content, and workflow.

The changes in the overall competitive landscape of the media industry caused by the Internet revolution have brought new opportunities to magazines. More importantly, with the mutual penetration, integration and influence of media, communications, software, entertainment, the Internet, financial capital, film and television, and the electronics industry, it is no longer possible to talk about magazines in isolation, and magazines are becoming a new tool for interactive influence with other forms of communication. Time Magazine was one of the first magazines to go online in full text, and all the content of each issue since 1994 can be viewed from its websiteAfter the merger of Mi Guo Online and Time Warner, Time Magazine Group has added 500,000 subscribers to Time Online alone by taking advantage of its huge customer database and professional experience in Internet marketing.

It can be said that this is a magazine that enjoys great fame and influence all over the world.

Countless celebrities at home and abroad have been on the cover of this magazine, in China, the great man of the founding of the country, several generations of domestic leaders, some particularly famous, or people who have contributed to mankind, have been interviewed by the "Times", and this is especially true abroad.

The people who can be interviewed by "Time" are basically first-time heroes.

Zhou Fangyuan will be interviewed this time, it is said that "Time" began to pay attention to him a long time ago, of course, the so-called a long time ago, basically it must be the first time he set foot in the United States, and then after filming "The Shining". He was tossing in China before, and the reputation of the Yuanfang Group was not very obvious at that time, so it was obvious that "Time" couldn't notice such a small guy as him at that time.

But with the continuous development of the Yuanfang Group, Zhou Fangyuan's fame is getting bigger and bigger, especially in the two years last year and the year before that, the development speed of the Yuanfang Group is getting faster and faster, and more flowers are blooming, and now many of its subsidiaries are receiving financing, the company's valuation is rising, and Zhou Fangyuan's personal wealth is gradually increasing. The investment in Disney, Marvel, Corning and other companies allowed him to enter the high-level circle of the United States. Although as a foreigner, his development in the United States is destined to be limited, he can't really grasp the huge power like the natives of the United States, and at the same time there are many Chinese who invest in the United States like him, it can only be said that his age is the youngest, and he is self-made, so it is easier to attract the attention and attention of others, and there is another point, that is, the "Minecraft" game recently launched by the distant game, which is a more landmark game than "World of Warcraft". World of Warcraft is at its peak to compete with Minecraft.

And the original time and space, until more than ten years after the game was launched, the popularity of the game still remained at a super high level, which is something that no other game can do. Just for this point, Zhou Fangyuan is eligible to be interviewed by "Time", not to mention that he also has achievements in this area of smartphones, although the developer is not him, but he is indeed the first person to complete the application of smartphones, the success of Andy's team is funded and led by him, and one by one things add up at this time, in fact, "Time" wants to interview him.

It's just that he didn't have a chance before, and Zhou Fangyuan was not ready to be interviewed by the other party, this time, it was because "Time" made another request, and Zhou Fangyuan felt that if he didn't accept the interview again, he might offend others. In any case, Time is the media with the right to speak, but behind it stands Time Warner, a super media group that includes Time Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Fortune Magazine, Life Magazine, Turner Television Network, CNN, HBO, DC Comics, Warner Bros., and other media with global influence.

Such a big guy, let's put it this way, Zhou Fangyuan may not be afraid of them, but it is definitely not a wise move to offend the other party, after all, he still has to make money in the United States, so this time Zhou Fangyuan decided to accept the interview with the other party after a simple thought.

And with his current age, he no longer has to worry about his life being affected. In fact, since he absolutely opened a company and started a business, he was mentally prepared for the peaceful life to be broken. After all, he is a reborn person, it is easier for him to succeed in whatever he does, it is easier to make money, and as long as a person's wealth and fame reach a certain level, life will not be peaceful anymore, which Zhou Fangyuan has a hunch for.

It's just that he has always felt that he is still young before, and although many times he can't really avoid completely publicizing his name, he will definitely avoid a situation like "Time" that will immediately become famous around the world as soon as he is on it. But now, it seems that there is no need to insist so much, and all Zhou Fangyuan agreed to this time's request for an exclusive interview with him.

The location of the interview is in the courtyard of the island in the middle of Wenai Lake, and Zhou Fangyuan occasionally lives here.

The person in charge of interviewing him was a reporter from the Asian edition of "Time", Zhou Fangyuan didn't know each other, but it didn't matter, after this interview, everyone could get to know each other.

"Hello Mr. Zhou, my surname is Zhao, this is the preset question for this interview, you can take a look first, if you have any questions you don't want to answer, you can tell me in advance. ”

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Zhao. ”

The reporter surnamed Zhao is a woman full of intellectual beauty, of course, she is also very good-looking, it can be said that she is very sexy, Zhou Fangyuan couldn't help but look at it twice.

But the more important thing is to look at the manuscript paper, there are a lot of questions on it, which is also normal, not only in the interview, all TV shows, especially interviews, basically have a manuscript, at least the guests need to know what questions they will face, and what questions they don't want to answer. Those questions that you don't want to answer, whether it is a reporter or a host, will not ask them, otherwise they will not give the other party a face, which will be a blatant slap in the face.

Zhou Fangyuan took the manuscript paper, sat in his seat, and looked back and forth several times, checking off all the issues related to the national political level.

He's just a businessman, and he should pay attention to national events or international politics or something, after all, he wants to do business, and some things should be paid attention to. But he won't answer these questions, no one will praise him if he answers well, and if he answers wrong, it's a big trouble, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

In fact, his choice is also the choice of the vast majority of interviewees, after all, some questions are too sensitive, as long as they are not people who have relevant demands or ideas, most interviewers will avoid such questions.

In addition, there is also a personal emotional question, which Zhou Fangyuan is not prepared to answer. His private life is very messy, and he knows this, so don't get these things in the media, otherwise they won't be looked down upon.

In short, after writing and drawing, and ticking off almost forty percent of the questions above, the reporter on the opposite side probably understood Zhou Fangyuan's attitude.

"Mr. Zhou, it seems that you are cautious?"

"It can't be said to be cautious, it's just that there are some things that I don't answer appropriately, the so-called not in his position and not in his politics, since I'm just a businessman, I will only consider things from the perspective of a businessman, so, you know. ”

"Of course, a lot of people I've interviewed do. ”

The reporter nodded, then looked at Zhou Fangyuan, "Then Mr. Zhou, when do you think we start?"

"Right now. ”

Zhou Fangyuan was ready.

"Please don't be nervous, let's just chat as ordinary friends. ”

"Of course. ”

Zhou Fangyuan smiled and nodded, he was not nervous, what was there to be nervous about, people were in different positions, and their attitudes towards things would be different. If it was Zhou Fangyuan in the previous life, if he saw the reporter, he would definitely become very nervous, which was inevitable. But Zhou Fangyuan in this life, especially Zhou Fangyuan now, the wealth he has is enough to make him one of the world's richest lists, to put it mildly, he is in a hurry, nothing in his eyes, how can he be nervous?

"Alright, let's get started. ”

The reporter nodded, cocked Erlang's legs, put the small notebook on his legs wearing black silk, and then looked at Zhou Fangyuan, "Mr. Zhou, in fact, I am quite curious about your experience of making a fortune, you know, when I first noticed you, you have already had a good development, in fact, for your earliest development, not only me, but most people are not very familiar with it, can you briefly introduce your previous development experience?"

"Of course you can," Zhou Fangyuan nodded, "Actually, there's nothing to say, you know, my family is actually very ordinary, when I was young, my parents both worked in factories, and they were the most ordinary salarymen, and the first time I made money, it was the summer vacation of the year I graduated from junior high school......"

Then Zhou Fangyuan simply talked about his initial experience of making a fortune, such as selling barbecued sausages, such as opening an Internet café, such as buying a meat factory, such as opening a farm, etc., there is nothing that cannot be said about these things, they are all normal development experiences. Even if it is an Internet café, it is a regular Internet café with complete procedures, so since the other party asked, then he will talk about it casually.

Anxiously nodding while listening, and at the same time writing and drawing on the small notebook, Zhou Fangyuan took the time to glance at it, and found that what was recorded on it was what he said, so he put his mind at ease, and then continued to talk.

If these things are carefully checked, they are actually not difficult to find, but through Zhou Fangyuan's mouth, it is obviously more convenient than finding information, and the credibility is also higher.

Because Zhou Fangyuan had never been interviewed before, the reporter had countless questions to ask him, and this time he finally had a chance, the reporter didn't want to let go, and after Zhou Fangyuan finished talking about her initial experience of making a fortune, she began to ask about other content.
