Gerrard must admit that Zhou Jingming is a very good young man, looking at the world, among his peers, there is almost no influence comparable to him, especially in the automobile industry, Zhou Jingming is definitely the most influential one among the younger generation.

Especially after Gerald got to know Zhou Jingming in depth, for Zhou Jingming's experience in the past few years, people should not applaud, because it is too legendary, from a small ordinary car factory employee, in just a few years, he has a small industrial empire that has begun to take shape, Gerald feels too surprising.

But Gerald can't forget the purpose of the "Time Magazine Person of the Year", "to select the person who has the most significant impact on the news and people's lives, whether it is good or bad", from this criterion, Zhou Jingming did not meet the qualifications for selection.

"Mr. President, why can't Zhou Jingming be selected as this year's Man of the Year because he is Chinese?" Kate asked a little unwillingly.

Since knowing Zhou Jingming, Kate has been preparing for the selection of this year's Times Magazine's Person of the Year, and Zhou Jingming is also the only candidate she supports, but after working hard for so long, she was rejected by Gerald, and Kate felt incomprehensible.

"Ms. Kate, don't get excited, let me explain why Zhou Jingming was voted this year's Person of the Year. Gerald smiled, and then continued, "First of all, I want to correct that I do not discriminate against Chinese, or in other words, from the perspective of a journalist, everyone has no distinction between countries and nationalities in my eyes, they are all an objectively existing entity, I veto your proposal, not because Zhou Jingming is Chinese, and even I can assure you that Chinese have a plus point advantage in my place." ”

Gerard's words are not exaggerated at all, especially in recent years, with the deepening of China's reform and opening up, China's influence in the international community is also increasing, if the Chinese can be selected as the "Time Magazine Person of the Year", it is definitely a thing worth working on.

What's more, since 1985, it has been five years since Chinese been selected for the cover of Time magazine, and if he can, Gerald would not mind helping the Chinese get selected again when he was still the chairman of the jury.

Kate looked at Gerald and didn't speak, but waited for him to continue.

"The purpose of the selection of the person of the year is to select a person who can have an impact on the world, which Zhou Jingming has not yet met the requirements, I admit that the invention of body shape and ESP will affect the driving safety of the vehicle to a large extent, but at least from the current point of view, it cannot be said that it is unfair to let him be selected as this year's man of the year because of these two. ”

Finally, Gerald looked at Kate and said seriously, "He's still young, and I believe it won't be long before he can be selected as our Time magazine's Person of the Year, but definitely not now." ”

Kate looked at Gerald, looking like she was about to say something, but finally nodded, "Okay, Mr. President, I agree with you." ”

What Gerald said is not unreasonable, and what he said at the end Kate also agrees, Zhou Jingming is still very young, and he will have the opportunity to appear on the cover of Time magazine in the future.

"Okay guys, the selection process continues, and there is not much time left for us. Gerald looked at the crowd and continued. At the same time, Gerald also silently kept Zhou Jingming's name in mind.

At this moment, Zhou Jingming, who is in China, does not know that he is only one step away from being selected as the "Person of the Year of the Year" of Time Magazine.

Especially the body design he is mainly responsible for, Zhou Jingming did not dare to slack off, and devoted himself to this project. In addition to being solely responsible for the body design, Zhou Jingming is also the technical director of the family car project, which is equivalent to the general layout identity of the new car development.

In order to ensure that information can be shared between the design of each assembly, according to Zhou Jingming's requirements, a regular project meeting should be held every week, and the person in charge of each assembly will report the progress of the project, and then Zhou Jingming will further adjust the work plan according to the progress of the project.

Shencheng, Wind Tunnel Laboratory and Body Modeling Design and Research Institute of Tianming Automobile Company.

After years of development, on the basis of the original wind tunnel laboratory, Zhou Jingming has renovated here, and built the original single wind tunnel laboratory into a comprehensive body laboratory, whether it is the design of the body, or the improvement, will be carried out here, plus the back of the wind tunnel laboratory, which greatly facilitates the design of the body.

At this time, Zhou Jingming was sitting in front of the computer, staring at the computer screen seriously, and the mouse in his hand moved from time to time, looking at a three-dimensional map that had just been modified on the computer.

As early as the beginning of this year, Zhou Jingming equipped all the technical departments of Tianming Company with computer offices, especially the design department, and bought a lot of money to use the software of A, in terms of automobile design, the use of computer-aided design can be said to be the trend of future development, and it is also easier to operate.

Prior to this, when the Phoenix car and Kirin car were developed, all the technical drawings needed to be drawn manually, which was not only cumbersome, increased the workload of the task, but also very inconvenient to modify, which greatly extended the product development cycle.

Now, with a computer, when you want to make changes, you can directly use the computer to operate, and you can also keep the original design version for subsequent inspection. What's more, storing design data in electronic form also facilitates communication and data sharing between design assemblies.

All in all, the introduction of computer-aided design is a very necessary decision for Zhou Jingming.

For the body design this time, Zhou Jingming found the body design drawings of the Beetle car from Volkswagen as a reference, but the three-dimensional design software at this time has just developed, and it is not sound in many functions, and the experience of human-computer interaction is very poor.

"Mr. Zhou, can I ask you a question?" Just as Zhou Jingming was staring at the design drawings and thinking, a technician from the laboratory walked up to him and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, what's the matter, you say. This technician has just been recruited by the school this year, and he usually works very hard, Zhou Jingming tries to make his voice softer.

"It's just that I just wanted to use the computer to check the drawings, but this mouse is not good, how can I not see the small arrow, Mr. Zhou, can you help me take a look?"

Zhou Jingming smiled, he thought it was a technical problem, it turned out to be just a simple computer operation problem!
