1159. Chapter 1159 Unprecedented
As an international magazine, Times rarely offer invitations on its own initiative, and even without it sending invitations, thousands of people have already squeezed their heads and wanted to accept their interviews and be on the cover of their magazine. However, no matter how many people are squeezed, Times will always only interview those who are worthy of their interviews.
Even if those people repeatedly reject them.
For example, Zhao Xiaohan.
Top-level Zhao Group, Chairman's Office.
Several Americans carried cameras and microphones and knocked on the office door. A few seconds later, a sound of "Please come in."
When he heard this sound with a trace of magnetic sound, the reporter outside the door was stunned at first, then pushed the door and walked in.
At first glance, the reporters saw a black figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a piece of sunshine shining on his shoulders, as if he was bathed in the sunshine. He held a glass of red wine in his hand and a cigar in his hand. When he heard the sound of footsteps, the figure slowly turned his head.
This is the first time these reporters have seen the real Zhao Xiaohan. They have only heard of it, or have only seen reports and photos of Zhao Xiaohan in other magazines. However, when they saw the real Zhao Xiaohan, they couldn't help but feel amazed.
In reality, Zhao Xiaohan is obviously younger than in the photo.
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, we are reporters from Time magazine. Today, we have made an appointment with your company's general manager to interview you today. Do you have time now?"
Seeing Zhao Xiaohan, a reporter spoke first, using Chinese. Obviously, this was a reporter who knew Chinese. After hearing the other party's words, Zhao Xiaohan nodded, put down the wine glass in his hand, signaled them to sit on the sofa, and then, he extinguished the cigar in his hand and sat opposite them.
"May I ask, do you want some red wine?"
"No need, thank you Mr. Zhao."
I have to say that Zhao Xiaohan on the opposite side does look like a gentleman, and every move has a light smell. However, what they are even more curious about is how a young man who looks like he is only in his twenties has become a legendary figure in China step by step?
"Mr. Zhao, can the interview begin?"
After the photographer was ready, the reporter spoke on his own initiative. After hearing the other party's words, Zhao Xiaohan nodded and signaled that he could start.
"Mr. Zhao, as a young man who has already occupied a place in Yanjing at the age of 23, and even at the age of 23, you already own two listed group companies. Most of your peers have just graduated and are even carrying mortgages and car loans. Do you have anything to say about them? Moreover, I heard that you are not from a prestigious university, but a third-rate university. Is this true?"
"I think academic qualifications do not represent anything. It doesn't matter what kind of school you graduate from. What's important is what kind of person you will become."
"So, do you have anything to say to your peers?"
"Youngness is the best capital. Don't be afraid of losing, don't be afraid of losing. You can lose, you can lose, but don't be afraid of it."
"We heard that more than two years ago, you were just a fresh graduate student, and you even washed the toilet in front of your colleagues. Is there anything wrong with this?"
“There is this thing.”
"So, how did you turn your value from worthless to tens of billions within two years?"
"I just put in a little more effort than others. I work harder every day. Over time, I will work several times more effort than others."
The interview continued in the question and answer. For Zhao Xiaohan's answer, the reporter's face showed a hint of surprise from time to time. It was hard to imagine that this was the answer answered by a young man who was only 23 years old. If he hadn't communicated with Zhao Xiaohan face to face, perhaps he would have thought that this was what an old man over 50 years old said.
Neither the words nor the meaning in the words can be spoken by a young man who is only twenty-three years old!
"Thank you very much for Mr. Zhao, you can accept an interview with our Times magazine. At the end, we will shoot a magazine cover for you. Also, at the end, do you have anything to say to people who are still working hard?"
At this time, the interview was almost over. After hearing the reporter's words, Zhao Xiaohan stood up, smiled softly, looked at the reporters in front of him, and said softly: "It's still the same sentence. I've lost, lost, but I've never been afraid. If I'm afraid, I'll lose for the rest of my life!"
"Thank you Mr. Zhao. Today's interview is very pleasant. If you have time, you can come to our New York. I can take you to see the beautiful scenery of our New York."
"Thank you, I will definitely go if I have time."
As he spoke, Zhao Xiaohan stood up and cooperated with the photographer to take a few magazine covers. After the photo was taken, Zhao Xiaohan got up to send them away. However, when he reached the door, several reporters briefly communicated in English. Perhaps, they thought Zhao Xiaohan did not understand their conversation, but how could they think that Zhao Xiaohan had passed Level 8 in English a long time ago?
"You are going to Shanghai next?"
Hearing the other party's communication, Zhao Xiaohan couldn't help but become curious. After hearing Zhao Xiaohan's words, the reporters who had already walked to the door stopped, turned around, and nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhao, we are going to Shanghai to interview another person. In the next two issues, we will publish two Chinese people!"
"Two Chinese?"
When Zhao Xiaohan heard this news, he couldn't help but become curious, that is to say, the Chinese have dominated the Times Weekly for two consecutive issues?
In an instant, Zhao Xiaohan developed a strong interest in another Chinese.
Who would be another Chinese?
"Yes, Mr. Zhao." The reporter nodded and said, "There were examples of Chinese people published in two consecutive issues of Time magazine. Before that, there was never an old saying in China that said, "There is no one before, and no one after the next? I don't know whether it is no one after the next, at least, no one before."
"So, I wonder if I can ask what the name of another Chinese is?"
"sure."
Regarding Zhao Xiaohan's question, the other party nodded without considering it and said, "His name is Xia Xiaotian. I wonder if you know Mr. Zhao?"
