Chapter 0671: A New Era (2)
"You say Rolls-Royce...... I have already communicated with Rooney in the United Kingdom, and this time the Rolls-Royce show car is fully responsible for it, and it is estimated that the show car will be able to be transported to Geneva in the next few days. When Zhao Ke heard this, he hurriedly replied.
"Okay, then I'll pack up in two days and prepare for a trip to Geneva, and during my absence, the big and small matters of the group will be handled by you. Zhou Jingming nodded with satisfaction.
Like Tianming Group, every auto show needs to be dispatched by the top management, in the current international auto peers, there is only Zhou Jingming alone, and the rest of the car manufacturers have special departments responsible for the auto show, but Zhou Jingming feels that the matter is big, and he personally participates, and his heart is more down-to-earth.
The departure time was set for March 13, five days before the official launch of the auto show, and Zhou Jingming could just use the days before the opening to discuss some things with BMW, Volkswagen and other partners.
"I will go to Europe and the United States this time, and I will be able to go to Europe and the United States for about half a month, and I will come back as soon as the things over there are dealt with. Zhou Jingming said guiltily while packing his luggage.
On the side, He Yingqing stood there, helping to fold the clothes, checking if there was anything missing, and it was obvious that He Yingqing's lower abdomen was slightly bulging, and it was obvious that she was pregnant again.
It's also strange, just once that night, I let Zhou Jingming give it to the middle, it's really a treasure knife that is not old!
"You can go with confidence, I am at home. He Yingqing has long been accustomed to Zhou Jingming's work schedule, and this time it is only half a month, and she can afford to wait.
Not to mention half a month, it is a lifetime, He Yingqing is willing to wait.
"Why don't you hire a babysitter to come home, otherwise I'm really not at ease. Zhou Jingming put down the clothes in his hand, turned around and took He Yingqing's hand, sat on the edge of the bed and said.
"No need, it's only been more than two months, aren't my parents still at home, besides, what's the matter, isn't Daxun also in Shencheng." He Yingqing leaned on Zhou Jingming's arms and said softly, "You come back early, I and the babies are waiting for you to come back." ”
***
Zhou Jingming can't remember how many times he has come to Geneva, since the first time Tianming Group participated in the exhibition, every year after the Geneva Motor Show, Tianming Group will receive the organizer's invitation to participate in the exhibition, especially after the Kirin car in Europe and the United States fired, Tianming Group has enjoyed the same treatment as Volkswagen, GM and other old car manufacturers, and the location of the exhibition area is getting better and better.
Because Zhao Ke had already arranged it in advance, as soon as Zhou Jingming got off the plane, the stationed personnel of Tianming Group took him to the hotel. On the way to the hotel, Zhou Jingming learned about the preparations for the auto show by the way.
"Chairman, we have contacted several local news media according to the arrangement of you and Mr. Zhao to build momentum for our all-aluminum body, but it is just ...... It's just that public opinion doesn't seem to be moving in the direction we expected. ”
The driver who drove the car was the person in charge of the Geneva Motor Show, and while talking, he observed Zhou Jingming's face through the rearview mirror, for fear that Zhou Jingming would blame himself.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingming smiled, and didn't seem surprised at all, "Is there a newspaper for the past few days?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! It's all ready for you, chairman. Seeing that Zhou Jingming was not angry with himself, the man nodded busily.
Zhou Jingming took over these newspapers in the past few days and browsed them one by one, without exception, all of them were singing about the results of the Tianming Group's participation in this exhibition, and the content of the reports was also what kind of arguments such as "Jiang Lang is exhausted" and "eating the old book".
All in all, these media are very optimistic about the all-aluminum body launched by Tianming Group this time.
In fact, Zhou Jingming also expected that there would be such a situation, the all-aluminum body is not a new concept, Audi has also been exhibited many times at major auto shows, Tianming Group this time took what other Audi companies chewed and chewed again, these people felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax, and the food was tasteless.
Therefore, if you want to talk about which industry is the most ruthless, it is none other than the media industry, you can lick it in the last second, and you can't take care of yourself if you can step on it in the next second.
"You don't have to worry about this, you can do what you have to do, and I'll take care of the rest of the matter. Zhou Jingming put the newspaper aside and said with a smile.
After a day of jet lag, Zhou Jingming started working the next day, and the first thing he did was to meet with the relevant person in charge of BMW, and the person in charge of BMW's participation in the Geneva Motor Show was Zhou Jingming's old acquaintance, Rodriguez.
That is, last month, Rodriguez was officially appointed CEO of BMW by BMW's board of directors, and BMW AG officially entered the Rodriguez era.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Rodriguez would be involved in the auto show this time, which really surprised me. After the two met, Zhou Jingming said with a smile.
According to Tianming Group, at this year's Geneva Motor Show, BMW does not seem to have any new models on display, so why did it attract their CEO?
"Didn't Mr. Zhou come in person?" Rodriguez smiled, and then continued, "The group just bought the Bentley brand this year and urgently needs a platform to display it, so I came here in person with a shy old face, I believe Mr. Zhou is also here for Rolls-Royce, right?"
Rodriguez did not hide it, and like the Tianming Group, BMW also wanted to take the opportunity of the Geneva Motor Show to show its determination to revive Bentley.
"I see. Zhou Jingming nodded, according to the trajectory of the previous life, after Bentley was included in Volkswagen, both sales and brand operation were stronger than Rolls-Royce, which was acquired by BMW, in this life, Zhou Jingming did not want to let history repeat itself.
Rolls-Royce in the hands of Tianming Group, the biggest advantage is to occupy the Chinese market, which is the right time and place, and this period of time is indeed very good, Rolls-Royce's sales in China have caught up with the total sales of Rolls-Royce in Europe and the United States last year.
In terms of the consumption power of luxury goods, the Chinese call it second, and no one dares to call it first. This is especially true with the deepening of reform and opening up.
No matter what gold, bags, and watches you have, your aunt will attack, and you won't have any grass!
Of course, relying solely on the domestic market and wanting to revitalize Rolls-Royce, Zhou Jingming also knows that this is not realistic, so next, Zhou Jingming is ready to use about four years to develop a new car for Rolls-Royce!
The goal of this new car is to beat Bentley and win the chance to make an appearance at the 50th anniversary of the Queen******'s accession to the throne in 2002!
