Time flies, a month has passed in a flash, and the New Year's calendar has flipped to 1999.

After the end of New Year's Day, under the chairmanship of Zhou Jingming, Tianming Group held a staff representative meeting on Friday, January 8, to summarize the achievements of the past year.

In terms of production and sales, benefiting from the growing global demand for automobiles in the past year, Tianming Group's sales also reached a record high since the company's establishment in 1998, and the global sales exceeded 2.5 million units for the first time, reaching the level of 2.78 million units!

If it weren't for the impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis, Tianming Group's sales last year would definitely exceed three million vehicles!

Of course, considering the entry of the South American market, the total sales of Tianming Group's cars will inevitably reach the level of three million this year, coupled with the Southeast Asian market, which is gradually coming out of the financial crisis, sales may rise to a new level.

In addition, in terms of sales of major models, Yixuan SUV still ranks among the highest-selling cars in the world with annual sales of more than 800,000. In addition, the performance of the Yanhuang sedan, which has just been launched for a year, is also amazing.

In 1998, in the sales of major luxury cars in the world, Yanhuang sedan can be said to have broken through against the trend, handing over the annual report card of nearly 100,000 units, second only to BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 among all luxury cars, ranking third in the world in global sales!

In addition to a huge leap in sales, in the research and development of new cars, the six new cars that are responsible for the major subsidiaries have also been approved, and the progress is faster, and they will be officially sold next year.

In order to facilitate the management of the model name, with the consent of Zhou Jingming, the naming of the "Yixuan" automobile brand under the off-road vehicle will be carried out in accordance with the latest rules this year, the first SUV will be named "Yixuan S3", and the two SUVs under development are named "Yixuan S1" and "Yixuan S5" according to different pricing.

This naming method is actually in the same vein as Audi's Q series and BMW's X series.

In addition to Yixuan, the two car brands "Kirin" and "Phoenix" will also have new naming rules launched in the future, and Tianming Group will also fully enter the brand operation stage.

"In the remaining year of the twentieth century, our goal remains the same, to enter the ranks of the world's top 10 car manufacturers, to narrow the gap with international automotive giants, and to continue to improve our brand awareness and scientific research level......

After summarizing last year's achievements, Zhou Jingming began to announce the main goals of this year, and in recent years, Zhou Jingming will emphasize the same goal every time, that is, the total sales of automobiles will reach the top ten in the world!

Prior to this, the best ranking of Tianming Group was the 14th in the world in 1996, and above him was Mazda, with sales only more than 30,000 units higher than Tianming Group.

At present, the world's major automakers have not all announced their annual total sales, so what is the ranking of Tianming Group this year, Zhou Jingming does not know, but compared with the sales data of previous years, Tianming Group's sales ranking this year will inevitably go to the next level, at least it will definitely surpass Mazda.

Taking the opportunity of the staff meeting, Zhou Jingming also officially announced that Tianming Group will launch six new cars in the next two years, which can be regarded as a good start for 1999.

After the end of the staff meeting, Zhou Jingming, Zhao Ke and other senior leaders of the group attended the banquet in the evening to celebrate the achievements of Tianming Group in the past year with the grassroots leaders and employee representatives of the group's companies.

"Jingming, do you think our group's sales last year can enter the top ten rankings in the world?" After toasting, Zhou Jingming took Zhao Ke and the others back to his table, and Zhao Ke asked with a smile.

"It's hard to say, without the sales data of the rest of the companies, any speculation may not be tenable at this time. Zhou Jingming shook his head with a smile, "But even if last year's sales did not reach the top ten in the world, it is estimated that it is not much worse, and it will definitely be able to enter the top ten this year." ”

"In fact, compared with the sales data released by various automobile manufacturers last year, our Tianming Group's sales last year will definitely be able to enter the top ten, or even the top five! Of course, all this is based on the fact that the sales of other automobile manufacturers have not changed much. Xu Weidong on the side also spoke.

"Our sales can grow, the sales of the rest of the company will naturally not be the same, now in the entire international market, the car market is so high, this big cake is not only our Tianming Group is sharing. Zhou Jingming responded with a smile.

"In fact, our Tianming Group's share of the cake is only a small piece, and old car companies like General Motors and Volkswagen, because of their advantages in all aspects, must have a larger share than ours. Zhao Ke also nodded thoughtfully.

"But then again, like GM and Toyota, Volkswagen such a size of the opponent, how much their sales have risen, the impact on us is not big, the top positions have been very stable, that is, the sixth to tenth place will have a large change, we Tianming Group can only compete in this range at present. Zhou Jingming continued.

"When will we become the number one in the world, we will have a banquet and invite all the employees of the entire group to eat for a day, brother-in-law, how about you?" He Yingxun said without thinking.

"Daxun, you really dare to say that our entire group is about to exceed 200,000 employees in the world, so many people eat for a day, I don't dare to imagine that scene. ”

"If that's the case, I guess I can apply for a Guinness World Record, hahaha. ”

…………

As soon as He Yingxun said this, Wang Yuanchao and the others at the same table couldn't help but ridicule.

"Is it the best in the world?" Zhou Jingming read softly, "If that day really comes, let alone invite all employees to eat for a day, even if it eats for a week, I have no problem!"

How much does it cost to eat!

They have all been the first in the world, what is this money!

"Chairman, this is what you said, we all remember it!"

"Even eat for a week, you can't miss a meal, the chairman has to count when he speaks!"

"With the chairman leading us, the world's number one will be ours sooner or later!"

…………

As soon as Zhou Jingming said this, the surrounding employees couldn't help but coax.

"You see, my brother-in-law agreed. I'll just say, the world's number one should have the world's first bearing, let everyone see the strength of our Tianming Group!" He Yingxun was a little too drunk, and when he spoke, his face was flushed.

"Well said, for our world first, cheers!" Zhou Jingming was the first to raise his glass.

"Cheers to the world's first!" Driven by Zhou Jingming, all the employees in the entire hall stood up, holding wine glasses in their hands.
