Chapter 336: Fortune Changed Hands

Wen Ming said a word, and then hundreds of people in the industry under his name took action at the first time.

And when these hundreds of people took action, they even affected thousands of people who were not Wen Ming's subordinates, and Wen Ming's will spread along with them.

Wen Ming didn't say that he wanted to hack Fortune magazine, but for the sake of his face, his subordinates began to frantically smear Fortune magazine.

Naturally, the lawyer team used legal means to magnify the infringement incidents and reporting errors involved in Fortune magazine many times through the relevant injured people. In addition, all the employees who work for Fortune magazine, whether it is the editors or the employees in charge of the marketing department, are all investigated by the detective connections that Wen Ming's lawyer team has.

All of a sudden, everyone in Fortune magazine was in danger, after all, not everyone has no black spots in their lives.

James first enjoyed the benefits of a huge number of fans when Wenming was on a desert island. At that time, the coastal search and rescue team was perfunctory in the search and rescue of Wen Ming, and his exposure made him an idol of many anti-racist people.

Later, after he joined Wenming's Apple, he also liked marketing work more. So, he became a head of marketing at Apple. Of course, being able to be the person in charge is also his own ability, after all, being able to be admitted to Harvard University itself proves his IQ.

Although Harvard graduates have never lacked good jobs, before they graduated, they were able to get important jobs from the richest man in the world, and James was very grateful to Wen Ming in his heart.

After all, there are a few people in this world who are willing to remain friends and are unwilling to bend their waists for five buckets of rice, and James is not that kind of person. If his friend has this resource, why can't he use it?

Therefore, when Wen Ming was attacked by life, and when he poked Wen Ming's most painful place, he was also angry.

Apple's sales miracle is not only because the product is good enough, but also because Steve Jobs in another world can play Apple as a culture, and the marketing methods can definitely be called the top. And Wenming's Apple company naturally has in-depth research on marketing methods.

In the Internet era, you can't talk about marketing without a water army.

James is in charge of the same business as Apple's water army, and it is only fitting that he is in charge of this business as a Facebook celebrity.

As a result, when the staff of Fortune magazine were in danger, there were countless unfavorable comments on the Internet. Even those media outlets that maintain cooperative relations with Apple have fallen into the hole after accepting public relations fees.

In this case, the head of Apple's investment department formally proposed to Time Warner a wholly-owned acquisition of Fortune magazine.

"How can they do that?"

The head of Fortune magazine felt that he was already overwhelmed, and after receiving the notice from Time Warner, he immediately rushed to Time Warner's headquarters. Then he learned about Fortune's request to be acquired, and it was Apple that made such a request.

"He's already the richest man in the world, why are you so careful?"

As reported in Fortune magazine, in the beginning, they were indeed very cautious about the value of the richest man in the new world. But who knew that their opponent "Forbes" used a spoof of data to make both shots very unrigorous, and it also made them not calm.

Therefore, they chose to squirt back, and Wen Ming, in addition to his indifferent playboy life, the only thing they could spray was the tragedy of pancreatic cancer.

The head of Fortune magazine said: "I really didn't expect that they would do it. ”

This sentence was said not long ago, and Cage did not think that Fortune magazine would so blatantly offend Wen Ming, the richest man in the world. And when the people of Fortune magazine published that report, they also thought that Wen Ming, the richest man in the world, would not retaliate.

After all, he is already the richest man in the world, so he must pay attention to some influences, right?

But what the impact is, Wen Ming doesn't care at all, he just orders a task, and the rest is done by his subordinates.

As a Fortune 500 multinational media company, Time Warner naturally cannot panic when it encounters an acquisition request. As for the crisis that Fortune magazine is experiencing, they are not particularly concerned.

In addition to Fortune magazine, they also have a well-known magazine under their umbrella - Time magazine.

Compared to Fortune, being on the cover of Time magazine, or being selected as the Person of the Year, is the dream of countless successful people around the world.

"Now is not the time to discuss whether he will do it, or whether they will do it." Time Warner, who is in charge of Fortune's business unit, said, "Now what we need to discuss is whether you want to be bought by them. ”

The person in charge of Fortune magazine said excitedly: "Of course not, do they know what a magazine is?" From the time they co-spoofed with Forbes, they have proven that they are unprofessional and unreverent in their treatment of news and data. If Fortune is bought by them, there is only one end, and that is to become a vulgar publication like Playboy. ”

With Wen Ming's playboy personality, the guess of the head of Fortune magazine may be correct.

"We've analyzed it, and if we're not willing to accept their request for a wholly-owned acquisition, the only thing they can do is continue to smear you," a Time Warner executive said. The result...... Even if you're still Fortune, you're not the Fortune magazine you used to be. ”

The head of Fortune magazine was still emotional, saying, "We can keep publishing articles, we can fight back against them, and we can even profit from it if Time is willing to help us." ”

A lot of times, thinking that being able to fight back is the biggest mistake.

Fortunately, Time Warner's executives have really analyzed it.

"Time magazine is not going to get involved in this fight, it wants to guarantee its authority. In terms of Wen Ming's current influence and worth, it is impossible for you to fight him, as long as he is serious, there is only one end, that is, you are stinky by them, or you are bought by them. ”

"The opinion of the board of directors is to accept their 300% premium offer, and if you have any opinion, you can find a buyer who is willing to buy you at a 300% premium and is willing to offend Wenming," a Time Warner executive said. ”

When the person in charge of Fortune magazine was struck by lightning, he realized that he had not been called over to discuss countermeasures, but to listen to the verdict.

Looking for another buyer?

There were many people who were willing to buy Fortune magazine at a premium of 300%, and there were many people who were willing to offend Wen Ming now. However, the two requests were put together, but no one could be found.

Especially, when Wen Ming showed such a strong sense of revenge.

"So...... What are we going to do? ”

The head of Fortune magazine is still a bit of a fluke, and he hopes that the group will be able to put some of them in Time Warner's other media operations.

For example...... Time magazine.

But Time Warner's senior management pronounced the verdict expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, you can choose to resign, if you are not willing to resign, you should ask Wen Ming this question." ”

"Provided, of course, that he's willing to take charge of you himself."
