Time magazine's interview team moved quickly and arrived in Hong Kong two days later, where Wei Xiong was interviewed in his office.

The interviewer for him was a female reporter, and she was a beautiful woman.

I don't know if these world-class media have more beautiful reporters, or if they are selected according to the interviewees.

Because the people who interviewed him a few times before were also beautiful women.

Before the interview began, the beautiful reporter first showed Wei Xiong the interview draft and determined that the questions that would be asked would either be deleted or modified.

This is the general step of an interview.

Then the interview began, and the beautiful reporter smiled and said: "It's a pleasure to come to Hong Kong, and I'm glad that you accepted my interview." ”

"You're welcome."

"Before I came to Hong Kong, I got a statistic that the sci-fi film "Tales of the Night", which you wrote the script yourself, was drawn in the United States."

"The U.S. box office was $228 million."

"This is a very amazing box office, surpassing Weis's previous "Ghost Love", and it is at the top of the box office charts."

"With the previous "Rush Hour", there have been two films that have made box office money in Hollywood this year."

"Can you tell us about your secret to writing the script?"

"Because you're still undefeated."

Wei Xiong smiled: "Actually, I don't have any secrets, if I have to say that I have, it is that I know better than others what movies the audience likes." ”

"Including Hong Kong audiences, but also American audiences."

"It sounds simple, but there are a few more that can actually do it, so it's no wonder that so many Hollywood directors are working on your films these days."

"I don't know." Wei Xiong was slightly surprised.

The beautiful reporter shrugged: "Because there are some people who think that you and the Hong Kong movies behind you have threatened the status of Hollywood." ”

"So there's a movie dedicated to you."

"They may want to know each other, but who knows."

"Hehe, if what you said is true, I will be very disappointed, I don't know whether to call them local protectionists, or say that they are small."

"I think competition is a must for any industry to stay alive forever."

"That's why there are antitrust laws."

"In addition, I want to say that Hong Kong films are not afraid of competition, although Hong Kong films are still far weaker than Hollywood, but they are full of confidence."

"It welcomes any challenge, including Hollywood."

"I'm sure if some people hear these words, they will find them harsh. Okay, I don't think it's going to talk about that. ”

"I found out that you added some oriental elements to Tales of the Night, such as zombies."

"His setting is more inclined to the ghosts of oriental legends."

"Is this intentional? Or is it a plot need? ”

Wei Xiong groaned for a moment and said, "It should be said that it was intentional, in the original script, the enemy of the werewolf was vampires, not zombies. ”

"A vampire is a ghost with a very strong Western character, but then I modified it."

"Can you tell me why?"

"The main thing is to introduce the traditional culture of the East to the world, so that the Western audience knows that this world not only sucks blood from vampires, but also from zombies."

"Are you dissatisfied with the current status of Oriental culture?"

"I'm not dissatisfied, for example, if a country's economy wants to develop, it must have dealings with other countries, and you can't close yourself off from the country."

"Then even if you put your head down and work hard, it won't be useless."

"Isn't it true that countries have their own cultures, but only through exchange can we enhance understanding and seek development through understanding?"

After a pause, Wei Xiong continued: "Let me give you another example. ”

The U.S. is a standard country of immigrants, and now Americans are black, white, and yellow people, and they come from "all over the world." ”

"From different countries."

"And then after more than two hundred years of intermingling, the American culture and values that are now formed are unique in the world."

"You're right, culture does need to communicate."

The beautiful reporter made a summary, and then started the next question: "Some time ago, you started recording the third season of "Twelve Legends". ”

"This show is very popular in the United States, and I am also a loyal viewer."

"But the ability to attract money in the third season still shocked everyone, and they all felt that the speed at which you made money was so fast that it was comparable to the Fed printing money."

"Compared with the speed of the Federal Reserve, I am willing to bow to the advantage."

"Just kidding."

Wei Xiong smiled and said, "Thank you for your love for me, officially because there are so many loyal audiences, I can shoot such a high sponsorship fee." ”

"The main thing is that I like the way you cook, it's so handsome."

"Thank you."

Faced with such direct words from a beautiful reporter, Wei Xiong could only smile.

"Of course, in addition to this, the dishes you cook are also very distinctive, or representative, and I also made a few dishes according to what I learned from TV."

"It tastes okay."

"Cooking is not made in a day, the same steps and seasonings can make different flavors in different hands."

"It's not easy to cook." The beautiful reporter's expression was a little helpless.

"Let's not talk about that, let's talk about something pleasant."

"The first episode of the third season was filmed on the Gold Coast in Australia, and the guest was Sophie, and now there are some scandals about you in the European media."

"Say you had a very romantic three days on the Gold Coast."

"I heard that Andre is going crazy."

André, whose full name is Andrea Zolaski, is a Polish-born French director who is also Sophie's husband.

Wei Xiong shrugged.

"Sophie and I are just good friends, that's all, I don't know how such news came about, to be honest, I'm helpless."

"As for Mr. Zolaski, I think he should be a little more sensible."

"Maybe you're putting too much pressure on him." The smile of the beautiful reporter carried a hint of ridicule, and Wei Xiong certainly knew what it meant.

"I think he should believe that Sophie loves him."

"It's up to him." The beautiful reporter looked down at the question script on her lap, then raised her head and asked:

"When you bought British car companies such as Jaguar and Land Rover, many people in the industry were not optimistic."

"But at the recently concluded Detroit International Auto Show, Jaguar Group made a magnificent appearance with more than a dozen new models, which shocked everyone."

"Become the most watched booth in the entire auto show."

"Got some news that you designed the shape of more than a dozen new cars?"

"I just made sketches, and a lot of the work was done by the designer, so I can't say that I designed it."

"At best, you can only be a participant."

"It seems that you are a person who knows how to share credit with your subordinates, and your designers should be happy to hear you say that."

"But there's one thing you can't deny."

"Mr. Paradie, President of Jaguar, said in an interview that the concept of SUV was proposed by you, including specific performance indicators."

"The concept was definitely something I came up with."

"But I'm just proposing a concept, and the specific work is also done by the designers."

The beautiful reporter seemed to know that Wei Xiong would say this, she just smiled, and then asked, "How did you come up with this concept?" ”

"It's not such an esoteric concept."

"Even if I don't bring it up, in five years, ten years, someone will always bring it up, because some things will inevitably appear with the development of the times."

"Like an SUV?"

"Yes, with the development of the economy, the basic public infrastructure of roads is becoming more and more perfect, and as the process of urbanization continues to advance."

"The urban population is also increasing."

"In this case, off-road vehicles that were born to adapt to complex terrains without emphasizing comfort will gradually lose their original market."

"But the excellent passability of the off-road vehicle has its merits."

"Because even in the city, there are still some uneven places, and you can't stay in the city forever."

"That's where the SUV came in."

"It takes into account the good passage of off-road vehicles and the comfort of sedans, and has a certain off-road ability, which is an all-round type of car."

"I have to say it's a really great concept."

"I thought I should say that at the show I ordered a Land Rover Discovery, only to be told it would take three months to get a car."

"I was feeling terrible."

From the first day of the Detroit Auto Show, the Jaguar booth became the centerpiece of the entire auto show and the main topic of media coverage.

Then Jaguar's dealers in various countries around the world sent orders.

At the same time, many countries that have not yet obtained the right to sell Jaguar agents have also sent requests, and some even went directly to the UK to negotiate. ”

In just a few days, orders flew in like snowflakes.

Even though the factories were already working at full capacity before the show, they were still unable to meet orders, so it was normal for them to wait several months.

And that's because it's in the United States.

If it is really in backward countries such as South America, it will definitely take longer.

In addition, Jaguar is also stepping up the establishment of after-sales service systems in countries and regions that have obtained the right to sell agents, which is required by Weixiong.

Wei Xiong, who has another world memory, knows very well the importance of after-sales service.

When the cost performance of the two products is about the same, or one party is at a relative disadvantage, if the disadvantaged party has a perfect after-sales service system,

Consumers tend to prefer the latter.

This advantage may not be too obvious in the early stage, but with the passage of time, when word of mouth reaches a certain level, it can cause qualitative changes.

And this qualitative change will be long-lasting.

Take Wilk?? The leadership led by Pallady did not pay much attention to after-sales service, but it was only after Wei Xiong took a lesson that his mind changed.

And faithfully carry out Wei Xiong's instructions.

Seeing the unhappy expression of the beautiful reporter, Wei Xiong showed a helpless expression: "I'm sorry, because there are too many cars ordered." ”

"Can you tell us more about that?"

"Because the number changes every day, I can't tell, I can only say that Jaguar's workshops are now working hard to produce various models of cars."

"Including Rollslas and Lamborghini."

"I also like Lamborghini, it's so cool, there's no other sports car that compares to it, but unfortunately, it's really expensive."

"Hehe, will this passage appear in the weekly magazine?"

"Of course not."

The beautiful reporter's tone was quite natural.

"Next question, according to reliable sources, you currently have more than $30 billion in deposits at Citibank and Chase Manhattan Bank."

"How do you plan to use this fund in the future?"

"Actually, it depends a lot on how the U.S. government treats me, because because of who I am, the U.S. government or Congress may put up some obstacles."

"Prevent me from investing in some of the more sensitive industries."

"For example, communications, aviation, electronics and other high-tech industries, these are exactly what I think have broad prospects."

"That's probably a problem."

Similar problems have happened many times in the past, not to mention that Wei Xiong is from Hong Kong, even for the Japanese, the Americans have set up all kinds of obstacles.

Like the last year or two.

The rapid rise of Japan's stock market and housing market has led to a sharp increase in the capital of Japan's major chaebols.

Japan's chaebols are beginning to look abroad for their investments.

Their main target is the United States, but it is interesting to note that more than 80% of Japanese investment in the United States is concentrated in real estate.

Investment in aviation, electronics and other industries is basically zero.

These beautiful reporters certainly know something about it as reporters for Time magazine, so they have a certain degree of identification with Wei Xiong's words.

"That's a big problem."

"If I can't find the right project, I can only invest most of my money in other countries, such as France, and they are very sincere."

Hearing this, the beautiful reporter's eyes suddenly lit up, this is a news point.

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"At present, the project is still under negotiation, and there is no comment for the time being, but compared with the United States, the investment environment of European countries is obviously much better."

"Can I understand that you may be investing up to $30 billion in France in the future?"

"If there is a suitable project, this possibility cannot be ruled out."

"It seems that those politicians in the United States should think about it." The beautiful reporter complained helplessly, and then glanced at the question draft.

"Can you talk about your feelings? I think that's what readers really like. ”

"What do you want to ask?"

"As far as I know, after Hong Kong actress Zhao Yazhi gave birth to a daughter, you set up a fund with her and her daughter as beneficiaries."

"What are you doing this for? Or why are you doing it? ”

"This is the first time I've spoken publicly about this topic."

"Actually, this fund was set up long before production. The reason why this fund was established is not a so-called reward as the outside world says. ”

"That's ridiculous."

"I'm very careful, I never deny this, and I don't think there's anything wrong with men being careful, what's wrong is that they are unwilling to be responsible."

"As a man, responsibility is the most important thing."

"Of course, some people may think it's a bit ridiculous for a playboy like me to talk about responsibility, but that's okay, I just need to do a good job."

"You mean that this $500 million fund is a reflection of your responsibility?"

Wei Xiong shook his head.

"It's not about money, it's about attitude, you can imagine when a woman gives birth to a child, and you can't give her a marriage letter."

"What kind of mood will this woman be in?"

"At least it's certain that I'm feeling lost about the future, and in this case, even though I really love him, no amount of sweet words I say can dispel her worries."

"So you did something practical?"

"In fact, when I brought the document to her and asked her to sign it, she refused without even thinking about it, and I knew she didn't let me misunderstand."

"In the end, she signed it under my compulsion."

"Because I want her to know that even if something irresistible happens in the future, or that I become a vile and shameless negative person."

"She and her children can still live well."

"Some people may think that I use money to buy love, but what I want to say is, if you are not even willing to give money, you dare to say that you love her?"

"I like that last sentence."

The beautiful reporter directly praised: "Love is beautiful, but this is a real world, and real problems still have to be solved in a realistic way." ”

Wei Xiong smiled: "Love is a spiritual enjoyment, but it can't be eaten. ”

"I believe that what you just said will bring you a large number of loyal female fans, at least I believe that you are a responsible man."

"Thank you."

"The other day, the Los Angeles Times listed the top 10 estates in the world, including your one that is still under construction."

"And fourth, can you tell us about the current situation of the manor?"

"The main building is still under construction, and it should take half a year to complete, and I don't know the specifics, and there is a special person in charge."

"Previously, a Hong Kong media exposed a photo that was said to be the Wei family tree."

"Many of your girlfriends are on the list."

"Will they live in the manor after the manor is built?" The beautiful reporter had an undisguised gossip on her face at this time.

"You'll know when the time comes." Wei Xiong smiled slightly.

……

The interview lasted for more than an hour, and then the interview team left, and when they compiled the interview recording, before it was published,

The manuscript must also be faxed to Hong Kong, and Wei Xiong will confirm that there is no problem before it can be published.

This is also the general rule of the interview.

Not long after the interview team left, Wei Xiong received a phone call from Yoshiko Fujita -- Osipov would send his henchmen to Hong Kong tomorrow.
