Chapter 1103 - Knocking on Forbes (First Vote)

Early this morning, Xia Yu got newspapers and magazines from his mailbox.

"Economic Weekly" he only took a brief look at it and put it aside, he had already read the list before, as for the rest of the magazine's content, it was not too late to read it later.

Immediately after that, he immediately opened the "Le Figaro", and the headline on the front page was "The richest man in the world has assets of more than 100 billion US dollars, and the richest man in France turned out to be him!"

As long as the French see this title, the vast majority will be interested.

There are too few people who are not interested in wealth!

Xia Yu read the whole report with great interest, of course, the quality of the article is not to say, "Le Figaro" is the largest newspaper in France, and there is not enough level to support this market position.

In the news report, the "Economic Weekly" was also emphatically mentioned, and part of the "Economic Global Rich List" and "Fortune 500 World Enterprises" lists were put on it, and it was specially marked that it had been authorized to be reprinted.

Of course, it is inevitable to put a high hat on the "Economic Weekly", and "Le Figaro" is deeply aware of the essence of the phrase "fame is blown".

In addition to the headlines on the front page, there is also a lot of content about Wirtsweek, such as an analysis of how many French companies are on the list of the world's top 500 companies and what it means, and how many people are on the list of the world's richest people in France, what proportion of total assets they have, and what is the level of the world......

After reading it, Xia Yu was very satisfied.

Le Figaro's half-concealed report can definitely play a huge role in recommending the "Economic Weekly", and there are many praises in the report, giving high praise to the "Economic Weekly" as an epoch-making global list, which can definitely arouse the curiosity of readers.

Xia Yu can conclude that the assistance of "Le Figaro" alone can bring at least 300,000 copies of sales to "Economic Weekly", so that "Economic Weekly" will become a medium-sized magazine in France in one step, as for how high the upper limit can be, it depends on the real sales in the next week!

In France, in addition to Le Figaro, which reports on Wirtschaftsweek, there are 58 newspapers under the French Mirror group, many of which report related news.

The situation in France is just a microcosm of Yan Wenhan's global promotion of "Economic Weekly".

New York, USA!

Forbes Group.

As soon as the current president, Melcom Forbes, who is in his sixties, came to the company and went to the data analysis department to schedule work.

Since the release of the "Forbes America's Rich List" by the Asian-based "Economic Weekly" more than a year ago, the sales of Forbes magazine have been rising, and because "Forbes" magazine has been operating in the United States for more than 60 years and has deep roots, although "Economic Weekly" has taken the lead in Asia, it is still not the opponent of "Forbes" in the United States.

However, since the release of the Forbes Rich List, Malcon Forbes has realized that this is a very good business plan, as long as it is done well and becomes globally renowned, it is enough to make "Forbes" surpass "Fortune".

And his genius son, Steve Forbes, who is now the company's deputy editor-in-chief, agrees with him.

So a year ago, Malcon Forbes began expanding the company's editorial and analysis department in an attempt to create two truly global lists.

Once this plan was discussed, it was highly supported by all the executives, and then the plan was listed as the company's top secret, and the entire company is working hard towards the set goal.

After nearly a year of hard work, great results have been achieved!

Although the company has spent a lot of money and resources as a result, it is all worth it according to Melcom Forbes.

As long as it takes another half a year, when the two global lists are released, it will be the harvest season, and all the efforts will be rewarded exponentially!

After inspecting the progress of the work, Melcom Forbes gave all the employees a look of encouragement before leaving to head to his office.

But as soon as he returned to the office and sat down, a rush of footsteps came from outside the door, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, pushing the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and staring at the door.

When he found that it was his son Steve Forbes who appeared at the door, and he still looked panicked, Myercom Forbes subconsciously chuckled in his heart, looked at a magazine and rolled-up newspaper in his hand, and inexplicably felt a sense of irritability in his heart.

"Steve, what's going on, it's making you so flustered!"

Hearing his father's question, Steve Forbes gasped and said: "Father, our plan is going to fail, "Economic Weekly" has released the "Global Rich List" and "World Top 500 Enterprise List"!"

Melcom Forbes didn't react at first, and after being stunned for a moment, the whole person suddenly stood up, his hands propped up on the table, his fingers tightened, and the green tendons on the back of his old hand burst out.

"Steve, what are you talking about? Say it again!"

"Father!"

"Hey, see for yourself!"

Steve Forbes shouted, very anxious, he sighed, and put the magazine and newspaper in his hand directly in front of his father.

Melcom Forbes picked up the magazine with a solemn face, and when he saw the "Global Rich List of Economies" and "Top 500 World Enterprises" on the cover, the whole person was stunned, as if someone had knocked on his head.

It turned out to be "Economic Weekly"!

His hands trembled a little, but he turned the pages quickly, and he was eagerly searching for the two lists in the magazine.

After a while, he turned to the "Global Rich List of Economies", and what caught his eye was the top four local tyrants in the Middle East, and the Saudi family topped the list with assets of 117 billion US dollars!

He resisted the mentality of breaking down and looked down quickly.

The more you look down, the more ugly your face becomes, just like your dead father!

The richest people on this list are really from all regions and countries around the world, and some of them are very familiar to him, because their company has collected information about these people, which is the real global rich list!

It's something they're doing with all their might!

Then he saw the list of "Fortune 500 Enterprises in the World".

The blue giant IBM of the United States ranks first in the world, followed by companies from the United Kingdom, France, West Germany, island countries, and Spain...... A series of countries, and all of them are world-renowned multinational companies!

With Myercom Forbes' years of professional experience and knowledge, he immediately had an accurate judgment on this list.

This is a better ranking than the Fortune US 500 and Fortune Global 500 lists!

Wait a minute!

That's when it happened.

Melcom Forbes saw a line of instructions underneath the leaderboard.

I saw that it said, "This list is the world's largest and most powerful listed companies based on the four major indicators of corporate revenue, profit, assets and market value, and the list uses a comprehensive score." ”

In an instant, Malcom Forbes couldn't hold back any longer, and his mentality completely collapsed!

He slammed the "Economic Weekly" on the table, slapped it on the table and made a loud noise, and the whole person completely disregarded the image, as if he was like a shrew.

“shuit!”

“#¥%#%#¥...... ¥&”

"There are spies in the company!"

"This shameless bitch absolutely plagiarized our ......"

Steve Forbes was taken aback, and when he saw his father's face flushed with anger and his breath was short, he hurriedly ran to his father's side, holding his shoulders and constantly comforting him.

"Father, don't be so angry, pay attention to your body, sit down first!"

After venting, Melcom Forbes sat down in his chair as if his whole body had been drained of strength, with a bitter and desperate expression.

"Father, are you alright? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Steve Forbes asked his father with a worried expression.

Melcom Forbes shrugged his face and shook his head slightly, he didn't even have the desire to speak, he didn't pay attention to the "Economic Weekly" magazine left next to him, and picked up the newspaper that had not yet been opened with trembling hands.

When he opened it, he recognized it at a glance, it was now the highest-selling newspaper in the United States - "USA Today".

Just the bold headline of the first page gave Melcon Forbes a slap in the face.

"The world's most authoritative rich list and enterprise list are released today, which ones are you familiar with?"

USA Today is actually promoting Economic Weekly?

Melcom Forbes's breathing became more and more rapid, and he resisted the urge to tear up the newspaper to read the news report, and after reading it, he directly tore USA Today to shreds.

Then I picked up a copy of the New York Daily News, read it for less than a minute, and then tore it up.

Steve Forbes on the side had never seen his father lose his temper like this, but this time, he understood it very well.

This issue of "Economic Weekly" has destroyed all the efforts of their Forbes Group in the past year!

With the jewel of Economic Weekly, which way out should their Forbes magazine find?

The corporate selection criteria of "Economic Weekly" are the same as the list they secretly made, and if they dare to release "Forbes" after half a year, then they will definitely be marked as plagiarism, which he absolutely can't bear!

And that's not all.

Let "Economic Weekly" operate for half a year, and most of the market has been eaten by it, and they "Forbes" absolutely can't compete.

After all, USA Today and the New York Daily News reported the news on the day of the Economic Week's release, so it can be seen that the details were known at least yesterday.

It shows how strong the resources that "Economic Weekly" can mobilize, and their Forbes group is definitely not an opponent.

The first hand is occupied by the other party, and the resources are not as many as the other party, how can this be competitive?

For a while, both father and son were silent, and the whole office was filled with a negative and dull atmosphere.
