As soon as the millennium arrived, the new century officially began. Tianming Group also announced the total global sales last year, and this time, Tianming Group handed over 4.12 million vehicles!

Compared with the sales of 2.78 million units the year before, Tianming Group's sales last year increased by 48% year-on-year, which is amazing.

At the same time, Zhou Jingming also announced the group's development goal in the 21st century at this year's staff meeting, which is to make every effort to realize the four modernizations of automobiles, and realize them step by step in accordance with the development sequence of electrification, sharing, interconnection and intelligence.

"In the next ten years, the group's main goal is to achieve the electrification of automobiles, so that the group has the ability to produce more than 300,000 pure electric vehicles per year, and further subdivide the time node, that is, from now three years, that is, by 2003, to complete the development of hybrid vehicles, by 2005, and strive to launch the first pure electric vehicle. ”

At the staff meeting, Zhou Jingming made a year-end summary and future outlook on behalf of the group, "In addition, sharing, interconnection and intelligence should also develop simultaneously, and when electrification was realized in 2010, sharing should begin to take shape, and the research on interconnection and intelligence should also have certain research results......"

In general, Zhou Jingming's speech at this staff meeting mainly focused on the four modernizations of automobiles, which is also the first time that Zhou Jingming has publicly taken the "four modernizations of automobiles" as the group's future development strategy.

Before Zhou Jingming, no one had ever mentioned the concept of "four modernizations of automobiles", and Zhou Jingming's speech this time also caused a great sensation in the entire international automobile industry, and it can be said that at the beginning of the new century, it pointed out the direction for the future development of the automobile industry.

The media at home and abroad also rushed to report Zhou Jingming's speech, and introduced the "four modernizations of automobiles" proposed by Zhou Jingming.

"The four modernizations of automobiles, the core of the development of the future automobile industry?"

"Zhou Jingming leads the new concept of automobile development, or will completely change the development of the automobile industry!"

"Tianming Group announced the strategy of the New Century Group, and the four modernizations of automobiles attracted the attention of many parties. ”

…………

In order to let more people understand the meaning of the four modernizations of automobiles, Zhou Jingming also accepted an exclusive interview with the "People's Daily", and explained to everyone what the four modernizations of automobiles are in very straightforward words.

Although for people who have just entered the 21st century, unmanned driving sounds very magical and very far away, but seriously think about that kind of picture, it is enough to make people look forward to it, if one day unmanned driving can really be realized, then the car, will definitely have more uses.

For the four modernizations of automobiles proposed by Tianming Group, the reactions of various international automobile manufacturers are also different, and the research direction of electrification can basically be agreed by every automobile manufacturer, but for the two of intelligence and sharing, many people feel that it is unrealistic.

In particular, if the car is shared, then for the car manufacturer, does it mean a direct decline in sales?

In response to such arguments, Zhou Jingming did not respond too much, the understanding of the development concept of the four modernizations, itself is a matter of opinion, each company can naturally choose its own development path, Zhou Jingming just shared these ideas, but there is no need to impose these concepts on others.

But no matter what, Tianming Group will definitely firmly develop in the direction of the four modernizations of automobiles, which no one can change.

After the end of the staff meeting, Tianming Group also operated step by step in accordance with Zhou Jingming's deployment at the conference, preparing to create greater achievements in the new century.

Tianming Group Headquarters, Chairman's Office.

"Judging from the automakers that have announced their sales so far, our group's sales volume last year temporarily ranked fourth in the world, and we are still ahead of General Motors, Ford and Volkswagen. Zhao Ke, who was sitting opposite Zhou Jingming, said.

Compared with last year, GM's increase was not high, but it broke through the 8 million mark, becoming the first automaker in history to exceed 8 million annual sales.

"This year, our group's sales ranking, there will be no change, in the end it will definitely be sixth, not to mention anything else, Toyota is definitely better than us, and the number of higher is not low, in addition, the sales of DaimlerChrysler, which was in front of us last year, should also be higher than us. Zhou Jingming groaned.

The year before last, DaimlerChrysler's sales were more than 4.2 million, and as long as their sales did not decrease last year, they were still more than Tianming Group.

"But the bright side is that the gap between us and the previous ones is gradually narrowing, and that's the most important thing. Zhao Ke continued.

Zhou Jingming nodded, "That's true." At this time, it doesn't make much sense to look at the ranking, the most important thing is the sales data, which is the most telling thing. ”

Although Tianming Group is still ranked behind DaimlerChrysler, the gap between the two has shrunk from more than 1.5 million the year before to less than 100,000 this year.

In the long run, Tianming Group's progress will be visible to the naked eye.

"We have three cars on sale at the same time this year, and in terms of sales, it should be no problem to surpass Chrysler, right?" Zhao Ke asked with a smile.

"It's hard to say, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Zhou Jingming smiled, and the answer he gave was a little ambiguous.

"I'm full of confidence anyway. A few days ago, I went to Daxun and saw the three cars they developed, all of which are not worse than the first one, especially the Kirin Pathfinder, haven't you also seen it, at the Frankfurt Motor Show, in addition to several supercars such as Hongmeng, this pathfinder is the most popular. Zhao Ke said very firmly.

"Pathfinder is really good, and it seems that the policy of delegating power to them to design their own design is the right one. Zhou Jingming said with a smile.

At present, Tianming Group is selling several models, almost all of which are developed in accordance with Zhou Jingming's design concept, this time delegating power to the corresponding subsidiary, the effect is still very effective, the development of the new car, in addition to retaining the original characteristics, but also added the designer's own concept, which is very beneficial to the diversification of models.

"At the beginning, I was also worried that if you didn't participate in the design of these models, it would affect the brand image of our group, but at present, it seems that such worries are completely unnecessary, and our group's designers have not disappointed us. Zhao Ke nodded with a smile.

"Tianming Group to Zhouhua, is a matter of time, early preparation, but also conducive to the development of the group, this I know, even if it will temporarily affect our brand value, but also need to scrape the courage to heal the wounds, otherwise once I step down as chairman of the group, I left a personal imprint in the group is too big, it will definitely affect the future development. ”

Zhou Jingming responded with deep feelings.
