Zhou Jingming, who was about to read the research report in his hand, couldn't help but look up at the secretary and asked curiously, "Why is it from Time Magazine again, didn't you already interview last time?"

"Time Magazine" just conducted an exclusive interview with Zhou Jingming some time ago, how long has it been, why did he come to him again?

"Mr. Zhou, if you don't have time, then I'll let him leave first. ”

"Wait a minute, you'd better let him come to my office. Zhou Jingming thought about it, but decided to meet the staff of "Time Magazine", and maintaining a good relationship with the media is very important for every company, because no one's pen in his hand is as powerful as the pen in the reporter's hand.

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, I'll bring him to see you right away. Xiao Ni hurriedly replied.

Soon, Zhou Jingming met the reporter of "Time Magazine", who turned out to be Wang Xiangtao, who interviewed him last time.

"Reporter Wang, I don't know if there is anything else to come to me this time?" After Wang Xiangtao sat down, Zhou Jingming asked curiously.

"It's like this, Mr. Zhou, it's a bit abrupt to come to visit, but this time I also received an order from the headquarters, and I have something important to discuss with you. Wang Xiangtao replied.

"What is the matter, the king reporter said. ”

"Just a few days ago, you have been selected as the person of the year by our "Time Magazine", and the cover character of the next issue of "Time Magazine" is Mr. Zhou, so before that, we want to interview you again and take a photo for the cover character this time, do you see that you have time in the last two days?" Wang Xiangtao immediately said the main purpose of coming this time.

"The cover character of Time Magazine?" Zhou Jingming's expression instantly became exciting, "Reporter Wang, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Zhou Jingming naturally knew about the selection of "Time Magazine's Person of the Year", but he couldn't understand why he was selected this year?

According to the normal historical development, shouldn't this year's cover character be Clinton?

"Mr. Zhou, the cover character of this year's "Time Magazine" is indeed you, and I won't tell you that this is not the first time you have participated in the selection of cover characters, in the past two years, you have also entered the scope of the selection, but in the end they were all defeated, only this year was successfully selected. Wang Xiangtao explained with a smile.

Zhou Jingming smiled helplessly, he had already entered the selection of "Time Magazine's Person of the Year" three times, and before that, he didn't know anything.

"Reporter Wang, you just said that you want to interview and take photos, right...... Why don't you think tomorrow morning will be okay?" Zhou Jingming quickly came back to his senses and said seriously.

"Okay, as long as you have time, we can be here at any time. Wang Xiangtao hurriedly said.

After sending Wang Xiangtao away, Zhou Jingming picked up the research report, and began to record it carefully while reading it, and at the same time, combined with what Xu Weidong told him just now, he began to seriously conceive about the fact that he will enter the Southeast Asian market next year.

Since Thailand is to be the first position to enter the Southeast Asian market, and the market competition there is very fierce, and the island car companies are almost a monopoly in the Thai market, so Zhou Jingming has to analyze and think about these problems one by one.

The next day, the interview and cover shooting of "Time Magazine" were held as usual, and it was still Wang Xiangtao who came to interview Zhou Jingming, and it was over in less than an hour after counting the total time of the interview and shooting.

"Thank you Mr. Zhou for your cooperation, and when this issue of Time Magazine is released, I will give you a copy as soon as possible. After finishing this interview and shooting, Wang Xiangtao said to Zhou Jingming with a smile.

"Reporter Wang is so polite, and it is a great honor for me to be the cover character of Time Magazine. Zhou Jingming also replied with a smile.

After this incident, in the next time, Zhou Jingming in addition to accompanying He Yingqing at home, most of the remaining time was spent on the layout of the Southeast Asian market, wanting to successfully occupy the Southeast Asian market, is a systematic work, in addition to the sales side needs to do their best, the rest of the company's departments must also work together to cooperate, any link has a problem, will have a significant impact on the next results.

Therefore, when preparing the specific plan, Zhou Jingming spent a long time, and from time to time he and Xu Weidong discussed seriously in the study, striving to achieve perfection in every plan in this plan.

Five days later, the last issue of Time Magazine of the year was finally released worldwide, and the cover character that attracted much attention was finally revealed.

"The Father of the Chinese Sedan", this is a few big fonts printed on the cover, and next to these words, is a photo of Zhou Jingming leaning on the little Fuwa car. In view of the fact that "Time Magazine" has published a report on Zhou Jingming some time ago, this time the text mainly starts with Zhou Jingming's personal experience and introduces Zhou Jingming's legendary ten years in detail.

As the first Chinese entrepreneur to appear on the cover of Time Magazine, Zhou Jingming undoubtedly won glory for the Chinese people, and he also became the second Chinese to be elected as the "Person of the Year of the Year" after Deng Gong, which is of great significance and has a great positive effect on invigorating the development of the domestic automobile industry.

Thanks to Zhou Jingming's appearance on the cover of Time Magazine, many Chinese people who do not know much about this magazine have also begun to take the initiative to buy Time Magazine, just to see Zhou Jingming's style, and Time Magazine also took the opportunity to launch a Chinese version of the weekly magazine, and further expanded its influence in the Chinese market, which is a win-win situation for both parties.

At the same time, after so many days of careful planning, Zhou Jingming also held a high-level meeting of the company the day before the end of 1992, preparing to arrange the entry into the Southeast Asian market.

"After a year's efforts, the sales of Xiaofuwa cars in the domestic market have stabilized, and the 500,000 plan has begun to be implemented, and by next year, three factories under construction will be put into use one after another, and at that time, we will have more capital to further expand the market in the country. ”

In the conference room, Zhou Jingming was speaking.

"At the beginning, many people didn't understand, with an annual output of 500,000 small Fuwa cars, the domestic market, should not need so much, right? The answer is yes, the sales company's manager Xu has estimated, the domestic market, the annual sales of small Fuwa cars, at most about 250,000 units, then the remaining 250,000 small Fuwa cars, how should we deal with it?"

Zhou Jingming glanced at everyone, and then continued, "Now I can clearly tell everyone here that the 500,000 plan is not only to consolidate the domestic market, but also to prepare for the layout of the Southeast Asian market next year!"
