Chapter 275: Anger
"I do business, pay attention to fairness and balance, and have made great concessions, but it is not that I treat others fairly, others will treat me fairly, of course, there are some businessmen like me, but there are still some shady rats, eager to get some benefits from me. ”
Han Chudong's eyes swept over the report, and he spoke again: "These newspapers never do things that are not beneficial to themselves, most of them are pushing behind the scenes, so that it appears on such a conspicuous page, and then I estimate that other media will also reprint and publish it, and the trouble will be concentrated in the rainbow mask company." Don't go to the private equity fund yet, accompany me to the headquarters of this newspaper. ”
"You want to know why this is happening?"
"This is just one of them, my ex-boyfriend mask is so profitable, I can't watch the share that has shrunk and be affected by this kind of news. Let the PR department help me say hello, and whoever dares to publish such fake news will be permanently blocked, not allowed to interview me, or any of my employees, and will also receive a court summons. ”
"Okay boss, I'll contact the lawyer and PR later, do you think it will be one of those three companies?"
Arthur's assistant asked, of course, he was referring to L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Shiseido, the three companies, of which L'Oreal was the most suspicious, and its product positioning overlapped with the ex-boyfriend series of masks.
Just like investigating criminals, whoever gets the most benefits will be the most suspicious, and this suspicion is not groundless.
After pondering for a moment, Han Chudong shook his head and replied:
"I don't know, but I don't think my peers dare to play with fire, after all, once I catch a clue, even if there is only the slightest suspicion, I can attack them in the same way. Since I started my business, I've discovered that most of the contradictions have their origins on Wall Street.
But now I really can't guess, maybe it is trying to force me to go public, or maybe it is trying to take the opportunity to carve up more of the market, or maybe because I don't sell mask paper to them, so I am disgruntled and want to retaliate, or it may be some newspaper management who is not clear about it, simply trying to attract people's attention, and must strangle the topic in the cradle. ”
After the initial annoyance, Han Chudong gradually calmed down.
In his opinion, he clearly has entanglements of interests with the Wall Street Journal, and spends money to put some advertisements on it from time to time, and the other party attacks him so clearly, mostly because of other benefits.
Anyway, no matter what, you must not stand idly by, if you are treated as a harmless little sheep by others, then no one will dare to pick some wool from him in the future.
Occasional concessions may be in exchange for benefits, but blindly retreating, countless examples in history can prove that there will never be a good end in the end.
Check the map to find the address.
The Wall Street Journal's headquarters building, located at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in New York, is leased in the XYZ office complex, which belongs to Rockefeller Properties.
These are some new buildings, the latest one was completed only last year, and the exterior is quite sophisticated and modern.
didn't say hello in advance, parked the car at the door, and after getting out of the car, Han Chudong went straight inside.
Even in Manhattan, New York, where the rich are gathered, it is rare for him to go out with eight bodyguards, plus two assistants and two life secretaries, and the security guards don't even dare to ask more, their eyes stay on them for a while, and they continue to patrol as if nothing happened.
Elevator up.
Han Chudong suddenly figured out that whether it is investing in the IC industry or further expanding his share in the luxury market, it seems that it is not as important as grasping the right to speak.
Only others dare not provoke, anger, in order to have the opportunity to operate and expand steadily, the reason why we have encountered some small troubles from time to time in the near future is mainly because of the lack of strength, if it is strong to a certain extent, even if it is to eat alone, there will not be much problem within the scope of the rules.
The more than 200 million US dollars in the company's account can do a lot of things, Han Chudong pondered whether he should look for some targets, he didn't need too many shares, he just had a certain right to speak, and he had already reached the floor where the "Wall Street Journal" was located.
Letting the bodyguards wait, he only took Arthur's assistant, looked forward, walked through the office area, casually hooked a finger at a middle-aged white employee, and asked, "Where are the executives in your company who can talk?"
The other party didn't know why, and the ghost pointed to the editor-in-chief's office.
After Han Chudong thanked him and walked over there, he asked with a surprised expression, "Oh my God, that's the new super-rich man on the West Coast, the one called Mason, right?"
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be him, and he looks really young. ”
......
I told the female secretary that I wanted to meet the people in the office.
After the other party picked up the phone and finished contacting, the editor-in-chief quickly walked out, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Mason Han, it's an honor to meet you, I just heard that you are in New York yesterday, I didn't expect to come to our newspaper office in person, if you have time, how about a short interview?"
Han Chudong didn't give him a good look, offending a professional manager of a company and offending a company belong to two completely different concepts.
Picking up the newspaper in his hand, he said with a smile:
"When you publish this kind of article, you should expect that I will reach out to you, usually I have a good sense of the Wall Street Journal, I will publish news from you, I will also give you interviews, but in the end, I will be rewarded with this kind of misleading headline and content?
Give me an explanation, my lawyer is already preparing to sue, and my staff is ready to cut off all cooperation with the Wall Street Journal, including your subsidiaries, and cut off all contact with me for good, and don't try to earn even a penny from me, and believe me, I'm angry right now. “
The editor-in-chief is already in his fifties, and after being threatened by Han Chudong, his face suddenly became a little unbearable.
After taking the newspaper, he read it, returned to his desk and sat down, took off his glasses, and said with a full heart:
"If we had one less partner every time we ran a story, the newspaper would have closed down long ago, and I've been working here for 17 years and I've never had to worry about advertising.
You should look at this matter more rationally, such as urging your production factory to be more serious and make the product quality excellent, instead of just ruining people's faces, and running to accuse us for no reason, our newspaper has a long history and has always been loved for its fairness and objectivity. ”
Han Chudong said decisively: "If it is really fair, then it will not be said that acne is disfigured, and allergies are said to be disfigured, which is obviously a very common and normal phenomenon."
My company sells hundreds of thousands of masks every month, and how many of them are like this, you don't know anything about your skin, and so do your subordinates, but this article still appeared in your newspaper, and I have reason to suspect that this is deliberately smearing my company's reputation, otherwise the names of Procter & Gamble, L'Oreal and other companies will also appear in the news, and as far as I know, their products are also like this, and I want you to apologize publicly. ”
"It's not possible, maybe it's really like you say, it's a normal allergy, but those innocent women's faces do have abnormalities because of the use of your products. ”
"Allergies will get better in a few days. ”
"But there's still a problem, isn't it? Don't dream, I'll never agree to a public apology. ”
Listening to the old man's answer, Han Chudong was even more annoyed.
was about to continue to speak, and suddenly realized that he didn't need to entangle with this guy, and in the end he would only ask for his own suffering, and the other party obviously didn't have any idea of admitting his mistake.
Taking a deep breath, he glanced at the name tag on the table, Nick Lambert, a good name that was easy to remember.
With a smile, Han Chudong's tone was serious: "There is nothing wrong with my product, it should be you who has the problem, obviously, you have turned this newspaper into a monster that will only attract people's attention and have no reason to speak of, I will find all the individuals and enterprises who have been bullied by your fairness and objectivity, and provide the best lawyers in the United States for free, and come together with the judge to discuss with the judge whether you are really objective, or just a gossip tabloid that does not enter the stream, and has no honor at all." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out, not even bothering to look at the other party again, and the editor-in-chief named Nick Lambert didn't hold back, just stared at him angrily, said something silently, and looked at the mouth shape of the obvious "Asian madman".
The bodyguards were slightly curious when they saw that the little boss came back so soon.
It wasn't until after getting in the car that Assistant Arthur, who had gone through the whole process, had a headache and said: "Mason, angering the editor-in-chief of this newspaper is definitely too bad to be a bad thing, no company will want to have conflicts with these newspapers, they will chase you like a mad dog and bite you, digging out all aspects of your life and business." ”
"It's okay, it's the old man who should be unlucky, and he dares to say that my products only disfigure?"
"So...... How are you going to make him unlucky?" asked Assistant Arthur.
Han Chudong shook his head with a smile, looked at the high-rise buildings outside the car window, and said: "Of course, I am what I do best, use money to smash it, help me contact the main shareholders of this newspaper, and say that if you want to make a huge amount of money, come to my dinner." Get someone to help me prepare a good meal, Arthur. ”
......
Like a nobody, continue to Mason Private Equity on Wall Street.
The company has been around for less than a year, and the wealthy and institutional investors who initially invested in it have already made a lot of profits, mainly thanks to two companies, Walmart and KFC, which have made strong results so far this year.
Even though the general environment of the financial consumer market is sluggish, the stock price still rises despite the increase in turnover.
The main reason why Han Chudong came to New York this time was to supervise and manage Mason's private placement.
Today he asked Warren Buffett, the man to be known as the god of stocks, for Berkshire Hathaway......
