Fortune's CEO discussed with the Editor-in-Chief and reported to Warner Media's CEO. After getting the support from the higher-ups, they decided to retaliate.
Fortune was not wrong. They measured the company's turnover, and they marked out the losses of many companies and did not hide it.
As for those companies that falsified their financial reports, they had to audit thousands of companies every year, and there were bound to be some that they did not notice. Furthermore, it was not only them. Many professional financial companies were also cheated. Even the government was cheated.
Companies with high turnover will naturally have a high influence. What's wrong with that? It is reasonable for retail, energy, finance, and industrial companies to be ranked at the top. Who is not happy that Walmart is ranked first?
As for those companies going bankrupt, what does that have to do with Fortune? It's not us who caused the companies to fail.
How big is the difference between the rankings of Business Weekly and Forbes and us? It's just that we pushed down Feng Yu's company ranking, but so what?
We are the world's top media company, and the power we have is not something anyone can shake. Even if you are the world's richest man!
All the magazines, newspapers, TV stations, websites, etc. under Warner Media issued an announcement, claiming that there was no problem with Fortune's Global 500 ranking. This was recognized by all the countries in the world, not only by businessmen, but also by the government.
If Feng Yu does not recognize it, that's Feng Yu's problem. Feng Yu has no right to question Fortune's credibility!
Many netizens exclaimed on the internet. Fortune is going against Feng Yu. There are even betting companies that are betting on who will admit defeat first. It is said that many people bet on Feng Yu to win in the end, and this made Fortune even angrier.
Netizens are such magical creatures. Their motto is: Either there is no problem, or if there is a problem, they are not afraid of it. If it is not a big problem, they will try to make it big!
The netizens are divided into two factions. One faction thinks that what Feng Yu said makes sense. Why is Fortune so awesome? Why must what they say be right? There were even people who called for Fortune's CEO and chief editor to admit their mistakes and apologize. Otherwise, they would never buy Fortune again.
There was also a group of people who thought that Feng Yu was just bored out of his mind. If he didn't like other people's magazines, he could just not read them. Just like they said, who would have thought that those companies would go bankrupt? Moreover, they did announce that the other party was losing money, and they didn't call for people to invest in these companies' stocks.
This year, the global economy was in a downturn and most companies' stocks were falling. What did this have to do with Fortune? You can't just casually question others just because you're the richest man in the world.
Feng Yu looked at the comments on the Internet and sneered.
Do you think I can't question it just because you say so? Not only will I question it, but I will also call for everyone to boycott Fortune. Let's see if Fortune has more loyal readers or if I, Feng Yu, have more appeal!
[Someone once asked me, 'Why have I never suffered a loss after investing for so many years? Is there any secret?' There is no secret to success. I just find an industry or company that I think is right to invest in and then hire the right person to manage the company.]
[If you insist that I must have some secret, I thought about it. Maybe it's because I never read Fortune. This is my secret. I won't be fooled by the rankings of some magazines. I don't believe the so-called honor that those magazines give to some companies. Then, I really haven't suffered a loss!]
After this tweet was posted by Feng Yu, it instantly blew up the Internet.
Those who supported Feng Yu frantically reposted it.
Hua Xia's netizens even made this into a joke: 'Only people who know how to make money can become rich. Why did I make money? Because I never read Fortune!'
This joke was seen by Feng Yu, and he also reposted it and translated it into English.
Although the Internet now couldn't be compared to before Feng Yu's rebirth, there were still a lot of idle people on the Internet. Some nosy people translated this joke into many languages and it quickly went viral all over the world.
There were even people who organized some of Feng Yu's tweets and named it Feng Yu's Quotes!
More than one publishing company contacted Feng Yu, wanting to buy the copyright of Feng Yu's Quotes. They also promised Feng Yu that this will definitely be a bestseller.
To those publishing companies, being a tycoon is a super gimmick. Moreover, Feng Yu is the world's richest man. Even if Feng Yu's writing is not as good as a primary school student's, there will still be countless people willing to buy it. This is the celebrity effect!
Feng Yu's popularity is much higher than America's President, Hollywood's Best Actor, Grammy's Most Popular Singer, Best Athlete, etc.
Those people can make money from their books, let alone Feng Yu.
Those who had bought shares or bonds after seeing < Fortune >'s rankings also stood up to support Feng Yu. They claimed they had been misled by < Fortune >, and no wonder they had suffered so many losses. They even want to hire lawyers to sue < Fortune >!
Fortune's CEO and Chief Editor were stunned. What is this Feng Yu saying? He made money because he didn't read our magazine? You mean he will lose money after reading our magazine?
Also, those who said they will lose money after reading our magazine must be Feng Yu's shills!
They even planned to hire a lawyer to sue Feng Yu for his inappropriate comments, causing serious damage to Fortune's reputation. They plan to seek compensation of 100 million USD. No, 1 billion USD!
These big companies' compensation is based on the target. This is very common in the US. If the target is poor, they will ask for less. But if the target is rich, they will skin him alive!
How can they not ask for more from someone like Feng Yu? Also, the higher the compensation, the bigger the impact.
But they had the wrong idea. Feng Yu is not afraid of going to court. In the US, going to court is about money. A lawsuit can drag on for years.
Wilson's team is also famous, and he promised Feng Yu that they will win this lawsuit!
Fortune also has another intention. They want to hold back Feng Yu and stop the Wind and Rain Global Forum.
But how can Feng Yu let Fortune do what they want? Feng Yu not only wants to hold the Wind and Rain Global Forum, but he wants to make it more prestigious than the Global Forum.
[The Wind and Rain Global Forum had chosen Moscow as the venue for the first conference. Later, I will send out invitations to all the participants. I don't care if the other party is a listed company's top management. As long as I think your company is strong or has potential, I will invite you.]
[Come to the Wind and Rain Global Forum and chat with me face to face.]
After Feng Yu sent out this tweet, Feng Yu's Twitter, Facebook, Weibo, etc., broke the record again. Many top management of companies Feng Yu, hoping to receive Feng Yu's invitation.
Some people even expressed that they will not participate in the Wind and Rain Global Forum and Fortune Global Forum in the future!
Feng Yu's charisma was on full display at this moment.
