Chapter 957: New Top Ten Lists
The $200 million was promised by Li Feiteng, which made Steve a little painful, and he felt as if he had suffered a loss.
But in front of Li Feiteng, Steve didn't want to offend a financial predator because of a little doubt in his heart.
So, the deal between Li Feiteng and Forbes was reached on a private island.
The person responsible for taking over Forbes Media Group is naturally Wang Xuebin, the head of Tengda Media Group's branch in Magnesium Country.
This Wang Xuebin is not the star Wang Xuebin, the two just have the same name, he is a relative of Wanda's boss Wang Jianlin who began to insert in the group.
However, after many restructurings, Tengda can be said to have long belonged to Li Feiteng's one-person company, although Wanda also has shares, but it can't interfere with any action at all.
And after Li Feiteng won Forbes with 200 million this time, he used Forbes to offset the price with the bank and invested in Tengda Media Group.
For the NASDAQ-listed Tengda Group, the acquisition of the 87-year-old Forbes magazine, a Forbes that currently has about 5 million readers, and the Forbes Media website is a big opportunity for the Tengda Group to expand its fame and brand.
When Ru Lynch and Steve officially carried out a series of tedious acquisition processes such as valuation and signing, Li Feiteng had already begun to appear and be interviewed by the media.
This is also the last time he helps the company promote the brand.
The efficiency of the media in the magnesium country is very fast, and on this day, Li Feiteng arrived at the scene. It's already a reporter who has gathered hundreds of families. Including some reporters from China Asia.
"Lee. Did you buy Forbes because Tengda Media Group is not well-known enough in North America?"
"No, you mean to ask me if I'm not well-known?"
"Lee, may I ask what big rectification behavior you will do to Forbes next?"
"Well, first of all, Forbes will become a subsidiary of Tengda Group, because Forbes includes many cultural structures such as publishing houses, magazines, websites, etc., and I also have King Lee Culture Group in the magnesium country, which specializes in the affairs of my works and cultural IP. Therefore, after the acquisition of Forbes, we at Tengda Media will build a huge integrated cultural and entertainment media group in the country, including all the cultural fields you can imagine. â
"Li, at present, Tengda Media has reached $14 a share on the NASDAQ, and the total market value has grown to $14 billion, which is already a giant in the entire media field, do you think you are a media tycoon?"
"How to say this, the word tycoon seems to be used by people who are tens of millions of dollars or hundreds of millions of dollars, if I am just a media tycoon. It seems that the grade is a little too low, not to mention our media competitors now. They are also involved in other industries and do the Internet, so Tengda Media is just the result of an unexpected curiosity hunt for me. â
Obviously, Li Feiteng is pretending to be forced to the extreme, but there is no way for everyone to deny him, because from the fact that he holds the position of chairman of many companies, it is really unclear which one he is serious about doing and which one is playing tickets.
And he also has outstanding attainments in culture, psychology, etc., which is really difficult to judge who he is.
"After the merger of Magnesium Tengda Group, Forbes Media Group, and my personal publishing and culture company, the new company will be a company worth at least $20 billion, and the new company will also have a strategic cooperation with Google to open up more Forbes websites around the world, more detailed wealth statistics functions, and will also make statistics on more subdivided industries. â
Li Feiteng's words made the reporters very curious, and they asked questions one after another.
"Li, does this mean, for example, lawyers with relatively high incomes in our country will also be ranked?"
"Yes, as long as it is the top ten professions that people pay attention to, we will rank Forbes, and we will do more rankings for age groups, and we will strive to make Forbes better. â
"Lee, if that's the case, does that mean that Forbes has to increase dramatically?"
"Oh, of course. â
"So can we join Forbes ......?"
When the press conference came to the back, it turned out to be as messy as their application meeting, and Li Feiteng was also very fun-loving, asked for the business cards of two reporters, and asked the secretary's assistant to go back and give them a phone call to Forbes for an interview.
Li Feiteng is a resolute person, and after he signed the contract with Steve, he immediately asked Wang Xuebin to take over Forbes with a group of people.
And Forbes's changes, under his personal operation, began to make some subtle changes.
These changes are not for magnesium countries, but for China.
He's going to add some of the necessary lists.
First of all, Huaxia suddenly added to the top ten lists.
NO.1: Forbes China Internet Writers List.
NO.2: Forbes China Charity Rich List.
NO.3: Forbes China 35 Under 35 Young Rich List.
NO.4: Forbes China IT Celebrity List.
NO.5: Forbes Huaxia Technology Rankings.
NO.6: Forbes China Rich Woman List.
NO.7: Forbes China Star List.
NO.8: Forbes China New Technology 500 List.
MO.9: Forbes China's 10 Most Promising Cities.
NO.10: Forbes China 100 Power Figures List.
The new top ten lists, plus the original Forbes China Celebrity List, Forbes China Rich List, Forbes China Writers List, and Forbes 100 Top Companies List, are a total of 14 lists.
14 lists, Tengda Group headquarters, Forbes magazine was directly established in Yanjing, and Forbes magazine was fully responsible for Forbes' business in China.
On the magnesium country's side, Wang Xuebin is in charge, and at the Tengda Media headquarters in Huaxia, it is the Wang brothers who went to find a Forbes editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief, Li Feiteng thought about it and asked Mr. Ning, who has been working in Feiteng Literature Group, that is, Ning Caishen, to be in charge in the past.
Ning Caishen doesn't look at the grassroots, he is also an online writer, like a liberal arts student, in fact, he is a science student, and he is also the kind of business talent who knows how to operate.
In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius, because in 1991, Ning Caishen was admitted to East China University of Technology to study international finance as a young college student.
In short, in his previous life, Ning Caishen did not do any work related to his profession at all, and after Li Feiteng's guidance, he embarked on the road of a generation of presidents.
Ning Caishen is definitely a talented person, the top ten list set by Li Feiteng himself, after he took over, he quickly gathered talents in the media industry and quickly formed a team to come out.
This team immediately entered the work of preparing and collecting materials for the top ten lists, and Ning Caishen was also personally doing important interviews, planning and operating some TV activities on the top ten lists.
In short, it's about building momentum.
The influence of Forbes in the world itself is not low, and after Ning Cainer's nerves have built up some momentum, he first got out of the Forbes network writer rich list that he is most familiar with.
Of course, he also consciously did not count Li Feiteng.
âŚâŚ
A private jet landed at Yenching Capital Airport.
Li Feiteng and Linda went abroad and came back, and it was already the end of November, if it weren't for Ning Caishen to get the first online writer rich list out, he really wouldn't have returned.
He, as a writer, acquired Forbes this time, and web writers have always been a new group to keep an eye on.
And this new profession is just a few years of hard work, and it has created a lot of value.
In Tengda's chairman's office, Ning Caishen took the number of the list and the information of each member of the first issue, that is, a sample magazine, and handed it to Li Feiteng.
Li Feiteng took it and looked at it.
Judging from the list, there are currently 6 online writers with 5 million royalties, and the others are about one million.
On the list, a total of 20 million-level people are counted, and the total value of ZĂ o is 160 million.
An industry that has only developed for less than 6 years has allowed writers to generate 160 million in revenue, so for the entire online literature market, it is now at least 2 billion, or even more.
"The statistics are very good, is the award going to start tonight?"
"Yes, Third Master. â
Li Feiteng nodded, and he said, "Okay, I'll go over in the evening to present awards to the top three." â
This night was an epoch-making event for the online literary circle.
They were a group of otaku who stayed at home and wrote, and they didn't expect that they would also be Forbes one day.
However, it is true that the Tang family's three spoons have really made money.
However, Tang San at this time was not the first, he was the third.
The first place is Xuehong.
Second place, wild fox under the tree
Third place, Tang family three spoons.
Basically, the source of income for the three wealthy writers comes more from game copyrights.
Li Feiteng has made a large investment in the IP of online novels before, and it can be said that he has spent a lot of money on the works of the three of them, and he has also focused on promoting them.
Not only the promotion on the website, but also the packaging and promotion in the real field such as physical books and animation products.
In short, no one praises them, and there is no place for them today.
In the evening, all the people on the list gathered in a theater of Yanjing Deyun Club.
The theater is very spacious, the most important thing is that the environment is good, very elegant, and it is also suitable for holding some cultural programs, and the award ceremony has a lot of people, and the seats of 1,000 people are crowded. (To be continued......)
