Around the middle of last year, Business Weekly's publisher led a five-person team to the Guangdong offices of the Shenzhen Special Zone Daily to discuss the possibility of cooperation. Now that Tom.com has acquired Business Weekly, the negotiations have been dropped. Nonetheless, Business Weekly has not changed its "go west" strategy, and in March formally assigned staff to Shanghai on a long-term basis.
去年中，商周甚至由發行人率隊，組成一支「五人小組」到廣東的「深圳特區報」商討合作的可能性，併入 Tom.com 集團後，合作案雖已作罷，但商業周刊不改其西進政策，已於今年三月正式派員長駐上海。
