According to convention, Gerald, as the chairman of the review committee, has the power to make the final decision, that is to say, if Gerard believes that Zhou Jingming is this year's "Time Magazine Person of the Year", then it must be Zhou Jingming who will finally appear on the cover of Time Magazine.

There is no doubt about it.

Therefore, as soon as Gerard said these words, the members of the review committee who supported Clinton's election also looked at each other, and only then did one of them speak on behalf of him, "Since Mr. President has given you your choice, then we should support you, although we prefer that President Clinton be elected, but Mr. Zhou Jingming is elected, and we have no other opinions." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, I just expressed my thoughts, but it doesn't mean that the final result must be according to my ideas, if you have any different ideas, you can continue to discuss, our annual person of the year selection, the whole world is paying attention, you can't because of this selection, and smash the golden sign of this selection activity. Seeing this, Gerard quickly explained.

In the past two days, he repeatedly compared Zhou Jingming's and Clinton's information, and finally decided to support Zhou Jingming's election, since three years ago when Kate first nominated Zhou Jingming into the shortlist, Gerald has begun to pay attention to Zhou Jingming, and Gerald has always believed that Zhou Jingming was elected "Time Magazine Person of the Year", it is only a matter of time.

In the second half of this year, an exclusive interview with Zhou Jingming by Time Magazine was actually a suggestion made by Gerard behind his back, and even the interview questions were specially designed by Gerard, and Gerard watched the video of the interview several times, because he wanted to judge what kind of person Zhou Jingming was from Zhou Jingming's answer and expression in this interview.

Whether it is worth it or not is worth his final decision on the final ownership of the cover character.

Fortunately, Zhou Jingming did not disappoint Gerrard, Zhou Jingming at the time of the interview, his speech and demeanor, and the depth of his speech all showed Zhou Jingming's extraordinary personal quality, that is, from that time on, Gerald actually had a tendency to choose in his mind.

And what really made Gerrard make this decision is the "500,000 plan" announced by Tianming Automobile Company and the two statements that the cumulative sales of Xiaofuwa cars reached 100,000 two days ago, because these two statements have determined from the fact that Zhou Jingming has indeed had a significant impact on China's automobile industry and people's living conditions.

At this point, judging from the purpose of the selection of "Time Magazine's Person of the Year", Zhou Jingming already meets the requirements.

As for the current US President Clinton, Gerald feels that it is almost meaningful, after all, he has just been elected this year, many policies and declarations have not really been implemented, and the impact on the lives of the American people is only in the stage of public opinion.

"Mr. Chairman's opinion is the opinion of our entire judging committee, and I support the election of Zhou Jingming. ”

"I also support that a young Chinese entrepreneur who has been selected as the cover character of the year will definitely attract worldwide attention. ”

"I have no opinion on Mr. President's choice, Zhou Jingming has indeed made outstanding contributions to the change of the Chinese people's lifestyle. ”

…………

Gerald has a very high position in the entire "Time Magazine" magazine, and this time is likely to be the last time he will preside over the selection work, and whether Zhou Jingming or Clinton is elected, it can be said that it is reasonable, so these people all support Gerald.

"Okay, since everyone supports my decision, then I will officially announce that the cover character of this year's Time Magazine is Zhou Jingming from China. Gerald looked at the crowd and said solemnly.

And Kate, who was sitting below, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing such news, after three years, Kate finally fulfilled her wish.

"After a while, everyone signed the final selection list, and then I handed it over to the magazine. As for Zhou Jingming's reasons for selection and recommendations, I will personally conceive them. Gerald continued.

There are not many cover characters who can make Gerard personally give a recommendation, which is enough to see how much Gerald attaches importance to Zhou Jingming.

This year's "Time Magazine Person of the Year" selection activity, so came to an end, although Zhou Jingming has been determined as this year's cover character, but the follow-up magazine is officially published, it will take a while, "Time Magazine" will further contact Zhou Jingming for cover photo shooting and related interviews.

At this moment, it is already the middle of the month, and Tianming Automobile Company has also entered the closing stage of the year.

But at this time, Zhou Jingming's office is even busier than ever, Xu Weidong, who set off to Southeast Asia to research the market in November, finally returned to China at the end of the year, and found Zhou Jingming for the first time, and the two of them are seriously discussing this matter in the office at the moment.

"Jingming, this is the research report I did, you can take a look at it first. With that, Xu Weidong took out a thick report from his briefcase and handed it over. In the past month or so, Xu Weidong set out from Thailand and traveled to almost all countries in Southeast Asia, conducted an in-depth investigation of the current situation of the Southeast Asian automobile market, and rushed to produce this research report for Zhou Jingming to use for decision-making.

"It's hard second brother. Zhou Jingming looked at Xu Weidong, who had a sloppy beard, and said with a smile. Compared with the last time I saw Xu Weidong, Xu Weidong this time looks more vicissitudes, and I think that there must be no less hardships during this time.

"Fortunately, I have run through more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia, which is actually equivalent to half the size of China, and I have mainly conducted a survey of more than a dozen important cities in Southeast Asia, otherwise this month will not be enough for me to run all the places. Xu Weidong took a sip of tea, waved his hand and said.

The land area of the entire Southeast Asia region is 4.57 million square kilometers, which is indeed not as big as half of China.

Zhou Jingming smiled at Xu Weidong, and then picked up the research report in his hand and began to study it carefully.

The report was very long, and it took Zhou Jingming more than an hour to read the entire report.

"Second brother, tell me your views on the Southeast Asian market. After reading it, Zhou Jingming put down the materials in his hand, looked at Xu Weidong and said.
