Chapter 335: The Influence of Wen Ming's Words

People always grow up with more experience, and even geniuses can't pick up a kitchen knife to cut real shredded potatoes.

So far, Cage is only two years older than Wen Ming, even if he can be admitted to Harvard University and be able to take charge of himself after following Sith for half a year, he is still a young man.

Young people are impulsive and not calm enough, which is why Spielberg, who originally filmed "Schindler's List", suggested that a Chinese director surnamed Lu should shoot certain themes after the age of 40, but the director surnamed Lu turned a deaf ear and was eager to make China's painful history into a joke.

He knew that no one dared to scold him for filming a certain subject, but he ignored that the audience's hearts are full of flesh.

Cage is also impulsive, and when he just learned about some Chinese culture, he happened to encounter Wen Ming's value dispute. So, he used his newly established connections to play a joke with the world with Forbes magazine.

And to declare that Wen Ming will always be the richest man in the world.

But he really didn't expect that Fortune magazine's counterattack would be so fierce, directly attacking Wen Ming himself.

This was a serious mistake, even if Wen Ming didn't care to let him buy Fortune magazine, Fortune magazine's attack on Wen Ming was already established, and based on the influence of Fortune magazine, it spread to the world.

The idea that Apple's founder was not long has once again become a hot topic of discussion around the world.

No one wants the whole world to be discussing when they will die, and Wen Ming is no exception, even if there is really a saint in this world, it is estimated that he will put down his saint coat because of this.

"If I couldn't buy Fortune, I'd take the blame and resign."

Cage returned to Apple as soon as he got the order, or the chance to save his future.

Although Tesla's size is more than one level larger than that of Fortune magazine, Fortune magazine is not without a background, and it is difficult for him to complete this acquisition task with Tesla alone.

"However, before I resign, I hope to be able to help our boss clean up his company and let some of the less capable people relinquish the positions they occupy."

As the head of Wen Ming's private legal team, Cage is the only powerful person other than Sith who can mobilize all of Wen Ming's lawyer teams.

Wen Ming is the richest man in the world, and in addition to his own personal lawyer team, he also has the legal teams of Apple, Tesla, and Umbrella. The head of his personal lawyer team has the right and obligation to help him coordinate the three legal teams.

Cage sat in the main seat of the conference room, looked at the heads of various lawyer teams, and said with a serious expression: "You must be able to figure out every clause of the acquisition task, and the specific acquisition is followed up by the people in the company's investment business department, but before they start the acquisition, we must formally file a lawsuit with Fortune magazine." ”

The legal team is the guarantor of the M&A business, but it is not for them to do the specific negotiations.

The head of Apple's legal department is a barrister at the former Sith Law Firm, and after Sith became Apple's CEO, he took over the powers and obligations of Apple's legal department.

After hearing Cage's instructions, he said, "On what grounds are we going to sue?" I don't think it's possible to embarrass them at all if it's just their personal attacks, but on the contrary, if we sue them in this way, it will make our boss even more embarrassed. ”

"My suggestion is that we provide legal aid and subsidized legal costs at no cost to all people and businesses who want to sue Fortune. In this way, we will be able to make them anxious, not only to retaliate, but also to make our acquisition more smoothly. ”

With the current development speed and prospects of Apple, Tesla, and Umbrella, there is absolutely no mediocrity among the people who can sit in this office.

Cage nodded and said, "That's what I mean, so I hope you can act soon." At the moment, there aren't many of our boss's three businesses that need legal support, which means we're going to have to do everything we can to block them up until we successfully acquire Fortune. ”

After a number of barristers discussed some more details and shared some information, the meeting ended. And Fortune magazine will face dozens of barrister-level professionals who come to them from all aspects and angles.

After the meeting, Cage had a meeting with the newly formed Fortune Acquisition Team.

Apple currently has a sound organizational structure, and naturally there is also an investment department responsible for the company's mergers and acquisitions, acquisitions, financing and other businesses.

Cage has Wenming's instructions, so he will naturally be able to mobilize enough manpower. The head of the investment department personally joined the team.

"Fortune magazine is a magazine that only comes out every other week, they have 150 people in the editorial department, 150 people in the business department, and the average circulation is about 885,000 copies, and the circulation of the last issue reached 1.1 million copies because it was the time when the annual list of the world's richest people was announced."

The head of the investment department said: "Fortune itself does not have much profitability, it relies on the authority and influence it has built up over the years, and it is often this kind of company that is the most difficult to acquire." ”

"Most importantly, its parent company is a multinational media company, Time Warner, a Fortune 500 company, ranked 381st last year, with an annual turnover of $28.118 billion and 24,800 employees."

"For Fortune magazine, which has such a parent company, I don't think they will be satisfied with our regular offer. If you want them to give up the most authoritative financial magazine, the premium level must reach at least about 300%. ”

Cage didn't react after listening to the introduction, and he had worked overtime to find out the information last night.

"I know there must be a premium, and our boss knows that there must be a premium, and what I want to tell you is that the 300% premium standard is completely within the range of our boss's acceptance. As for what our bottom line is, I won't announce it now. ”

Cage said: "What I need you to do is to get in touch with the people at Time Warner in the shortest possible time and formally make a purchase request to them." Remember, it's a wholly owned acquisition. ”

"In addition, I need to remind you that our legal team will be constantly looking for trouble with Fortune magazine from all sides starting tomorrow. So, their value is bound to be greatly affected, and I don't want to see the efforts we make be robbed of the fruits of our victories by others. ”

The head of the investment department said that he understood and immediately began to work out various details of the work.

At this time, James, who has been staying in Apple's marketing department, also found Cage, as Wen Ming's roommate, and now he is eating with Wen Ming, how can he be indifferent?

"You know, our Apple products also rely on marketing, otherwise it would not have been possible to sell so well. Therefore, we have a team of water armies, and we also have direct contact with many media. ”

James said expectantly, "Do you want to start now?" ”

Cage said categorically: "Start it immediately." ”
