"Brother Feng, are you in China?"
"Yes. I am in Beijing."
"A reporter, a very famous reporter, wants to interview you. They want you to be on the cover of this magazine. Are you interested? "Fu Guangzheng asked.
"You should know that I do not like to be in the limelight." Many western media outlets had contacted Ralph to interview Feng Yu, but they were rejected by Feng Yu.
Ralph felt it was a pity. Many of these media outlets are top media outlets, and many people had never been interviewed in their lives. Some of these media outlets are interviewing the world's most influential figures, like the US President.
"Brother Feng, this is < Time > magazine. It is one of the world's top magazines, and they are interviewing the world's most influential figures. If you agree to be on the cover, I will be on the cover of the Asian edition! "
Feng Yu thought to himself. This should be the most important thing. Although Fu Guangzheng is outstanding, he is still far from being on the cover of < Time > magazine, even if it is only the Asian edition. That position should belong to Asia's top tycoons like Superman Li and Fu Rongqi.
"Brother Fu, are you sure you are talking about the < Time > magazine that I know of? They are asking you to be on the cover of the Asian edition? "
Fu Guangzheng replied embarrassedly. "They said they are going to be covering the future leaders this year, and I am the representative of Asia's youth. If you don't agree, they will push back the future leaders, and I will not have the chance to be on the cover. Brother Feng, many people do not even have the chance to be on the cover of < Time > magazine! "
Feng Yu listened to Fu Guangzheng's explanation. Even though Fu Guangzheng had made a lot last year and was doing well, his net worth was not considered a lot. Even Li Zekai, who had just acquired a large plot of land, is wealthier than Fu Guangzheng.
Furthermore, there are still those Hong Kong tycoons above him. Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. also have powerful tycoons. Even Macau's Mr. Ho's net worth is much higher than Fu Guangzheng.
"Brother Fu, this is only a magazine. Why are you making it sound like it is an honor to be on this magazine? You should know that this is just an ordinary media outlet, and it mainly targets Europe and the United States. I have also set up a similar business magazine in Chinese. It is mainly distributed in China, but it is also distributed in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and other Chinese regions. I will get you a cover, okay? "
Others might think that appearing on [Time] was a form of glory, but to Feng Yu, it was just a form of publicity. Increasing the brand value of the character would also increase the value of the company. Of course, the magazine would also increase its sales because of the value of this character.
But no matter what, this was just a magazine. It included politics and business, and the people it listed were all the most powerful people in the world. It had to be said that Time magazine's brand marketing was very successful.
Fu Guangzheng had injected all his shares from his companies in China into Taiwan Holdings and became the director and CEO of Taiwan Holdings. This is China's biggest private sector company, and Fu Guangzheng can be considered a powerful figure. As for his achievements in business, Fu Guangzheng might not be the best among the younger generation, but he was definitely one of the top 10 in the world.
Even with these achievements, < Time > still wants to associate Fu Guangzheng with Feng Yu. This made Feng Yu feel that < Time > magazine was not good enough! If they had asked Fu Guangzheng to be on the cover of the Asian edition first and then approached Feng Yu, maybe Feng Yu might agree.
For example, < Forbes > tried to recruit Feng Yu a second time and a third time. After that, < Forbes > got Bill Gates to persuade Feng Yu to reveal some of his assets and get him on the World's Billionaire List. This was also considered as an exclusive interview. This was the first interview that Feng Yu had ever done.
< Time > was rejected by Ralph, and it was not wrong to get Fu Guangzheng to be the middleman. But this middleman's motive was not pure.
"Brother Feng, didn't you say that your magazine will be launched early this year? Why is it not on the market yet? " Fu Guangzheng asked casually. He remembered Feng Yu had told him that he will be launching a magazine this year to feature 50 of China's business leaders.
Although Fu Guangzheng was a Hong Kong citizen, his main investments were in China. Hong Kong had returned to Hua Xia, and no one will say anything if he is listed in China.
Many people are curious about Fu Guangzheng and want to know more about him. If there is an exclusive interview with Fu Guangzheng, many people will like it.
"There are some problems interviewing those tycoons, and many of them are not willing to reveal their assets. Also, I felt many of their data are not accurate, and we need to verify it. That's why it is delayed until the first day of the Lunar New Year. "
Feng Yu had not expected this. He thought if he gave out an honorary title, many people will try to get close to him. But he had underestimated Hua Xia. She likes to hide her wealth and likes to hide her wealth.
Many tycoons had gone through Feng Yu's research and found they could be on the list. But when they were interviewed, they were rejected.
These tycoons are not interested in a private business magazine. If it is a national media interview, they might be interested.
Also, these tycoons found out that this magazine is going to reveal their net worth. This is a joke! Why should I let others know how much money I have?
What did you say? Let others know how successful my business is, and I will be envied and praised by many people. In the future, I will have an advantage in my business dealings.
I don't need all these. I just like to wear luxurious clothes at night. Can't I?
After Zong Qingxian found out about this, he spoke to Feng Yu. Many of these tycoons rejected the interview because it is not convenient for them to reveal the details of their businesses.
During these periods of prosperity, perhaps they had all stepped on the line, such as speculating and profiteering or something. Or, they might be involved with the government, and some of them cannot be revealed.
Although these tycoons are giving back more to the government, their merits and demerits cannot be offset. Also, these tycoons have a traditional habit of Hua Xia. They do not like to show off their wealth and are afraid of being targeted by others.
For example, many people are not very enthusiastic about donations. Why should I donate the money I earn? Did any of you help me when I was in dire straits? There were also those who simply forced donations, using administrative means or public opinion to kidnap them.
Even if there are no donations, when you want to do something, the government will let you build a bigger house. Shi Yuzhu's building is like this. Build a bigger house, modify the design several times, and let you spend more money.
In the end, Shi Yuzhu went bankrupt.
That's why during this period, Feng Yu had asked Taihua Holdings's top management and subsidiaries' top management to contact those tycoons. He wants them to understand that the public's mindset will change. Also, after revealing their net worth, the pros outweigh the cons. Look at General Manager Feng. After his net worth is exposed, his business development is even faster.
The development of a new thing was always fraught with difficulties and obstacles. But the future is bright, and Feng Yu will persist.
Hmmm … Wind and Rain Business Magazine is owned by Tai Hua Charity Funds, and all the profits will be used for charity. This is also the reason why many tycoons agreed to be featured on the cover.
"Brother Feng, are you really not going to do this?" Fu Guangzheng asked.
"Brother Fu, stop persuading me. I really cannot help you with this."
"Never mind. Even if I can't be on the cover, it's good to have an interview. When your magazine is published, remember to let me be on the cover. That's settled."
"Hahaha … ok. That's settled! I promise you will be famous in Hua Xia and will overshadow Superman Li's two sons! "
