This night, netizens burped after eating melon.
First, Wei Kang's scandalous photos triggered a craze for eating melons across the Internet, and then Forbes took advantage of the popularity and announced the list of China's richest people.
Now Wei Kang said lightly, "I'm not interested in false fame."
This rhythm of ups and downs and full bloom simply makes netizens unable to stop eating.
"As expected of Mr. Wei, this guy pretends to be fresh and refined."
"Forbes: Damn it, let him pretend."
"Mr. Wei: Not interested in fame, Mr. Ma: Not interested in money, Qiangzi: Not interested in appearance, are there any others?"
"I can't be the only one who was moved by Mr. Wei's words. It's true that a strong person is kind."
"+1 upstairs, the Chief Health Officer never forgets to develop new drugs for patients. This husband is so capable that he really takes care of his illness."
"These lists are really outrageous. They put Mr. Wei on them without his consent and casually announced the net worth of rich people. This is an invasion of privacy."
"That's right. If it were you, someone on the Internet would publish your salary and savings at will. Would you be happy?"
"Forbes is a bitch. I'm going to kill it, but it still doesn't remove the list as soon as possible."
"Forbes is trying to ride on Mr. Wei's popularity. It's so shameless. Moreover, these data are inaccurate. They only count the stock market value, not liabilities. They are all inflated and have no credibility at all."
"Haha, who dares to calculate the debts of the rich? How can they defraud money or cut leeks after calculating it?"
"This list is getting worse year by year. You know that making money by attracting the attention of rich people has almost become an entertainment media, which is far worse than other financial magazines."
"So Mr. Wei is right, it doesn't matter if it doesn't make the list."
"No wonder Mr. Wei is angry. I'm afraid this list is not just for fun. With Mr. Wei's famous name, he will be very interested in this kind of thing."
Forbes editor-in-chief Richard was a little angry when he saw Wei Kang's Weibo post.
He didn't expect that Wei Kang really didn't want to be on the list. He thought that the other party was just trying to influence him so that he could negotiate a better price, and he was still waiting for the other party to make conditions.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the heat, but now I kicked the iron plate and got slapped in the face instead.
"Shit, Chinese people are so unreasonable." He thought for a while and decided to put the matter aside and ignore it for the time being.
Anyway, the heat has already reached him, so he doesn't care much about Wei Kang's reaction. Even if the ranking is not withdrawn, can Wei Kang still go to court to sue him?
If Sanqing accuses him, it will be a good opportunity to stir up a wave of popularity, which will make Forbes even more popular, which is exactly what he wants.
He just announced Wei Kang's net worth. How much money can he pay for such a trivial matter?
It’s a great deal to pay a little money and get a lot of traffic.
The prince of Camel Country had previously sued Forbes magazine of Eagle Country for defamation because the prince believed that his wealth had been underestimated by US$10 billion, which caused a decline in the rich list and caused serious damage to the reputation of the prince and the holding company.
This ridiculous legal dispute only serves to increase the magazine's profile, but has no impact at all.
Besides, most readers of Forbes magazine are overseas, and China’s influence is not that great, so that’s even better.
He smiled proudly and was ready to pretend to be dead and wait for a few days.
At this moment, an emergency call came from a subordinate: "Editor-in-Chief, it's bad, our Langbo has been scolded badly."
Richard didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry about it. Netizens only have seven minutes of memory, and they will forget about it in two days. Just turn off the comments."
"However," the subordinate hesitated, "there are also some wealthy people who support Wei Kang's statement. They say that our magazine has violated their privacy."
"Haha, they also want to ride on the popularity and be an opinion leader. These people are used to duplicity, so don't pay attention to them."
"No," a subordinate suddenly exclaimed: "Netizens have gone to harass our magazine's advertising sponsors. Mercedes-Benz and BMW have been scolded to the point of shutting down comments. The media partners have also been scolded."
Richard was so angry that he yelled: "These Internet thugs are using cyber violence to force us to submit. They are so shameless."
After the scolding, he calmed down and couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "It should be fine. It's just that I was scolded online. It won't affect the advertising."
"Ah!" A subordinate screamed: "Many advertisers contacted us and said they would not run ads this month, and they blamed us for affecting the reputation of their brands."
Richard was stunned for a moment: "Why? Just tell them that this matter will pass soon and it won't have any impact."
The subordinate cried anxiously: "The customer won't listen. It's useless even if I beg my grandpa to sue my grandma."
The veins on Richard's forehead were throbbing. Before he could think of what to do, the phone rang suddenly.
At first glance, it turned out that the call was coming from the headquarters. As soon as the call was connected, I heard a burst of curses from the other party.
"Damn Richard, what the hell did you do? Why is Twitter full of people calling us names?"
Richard wiped the cold sweat from his head and quickly told the story.
"Nonsense! Take Wei Kang's name off quickly before things get too big. Don't you know how well Sanqing's medicine sells in Eagle Country? Wei Kang also has many fans in Eagle Country. Don't you want to Seeing all these people coming to the headquarters building holding signs and cursing people?”
Richard broke into a cold sweat and quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, I was wrong. I will remove him immediately and re-post the new list."
"Hurry up! You are such an idiot. You take advantage of all the popularity without thinking about the consequences. Look at what our competitors are doing? Why doesn't Fortune magazine put Sanqing on the list of China's top 500 companies, and then put Wei Can Kang be put on the list of influential figures in the business world?"
"If this year's advertising revenue is affected, get out of here right now!"
Richard hung up the phone tremblingly, turned on the computer at the speed of light, revised it, and then published the new list himself.
"I'm very sorry. The operations editor is an intern. He arranged the list without the permission of the person involved. He has been fired."
"We have carefully examined our shortcomings and respected the requests of the parties involved. The editor of the magazine compiled data overnight and officially announced the new China Rich List. There is no doubt about its fairness and professionalism. Please rest assured."
After sending it out, Richard felt scared for a while, and at the same time he had a clear understanding of Wei Kang's influence.
A big shot with such appeal is more terrifying than a top star. He really doesn't need any lists to become famous.
Fortunately, I reacted quickly and made the right choice immediately. I should be able to win back the advertiser and minimize the loss.
Fortunately, the list was only published online and had not been officially published in print magazines, so the matter did not become a big deal.
Netizens burst out laughing when they saw Forbes apologize and withdraw the list at the speed of light.
"Hahaha, Forbes got scared because of Mr. Wei's slander."
"It's just a junk magazine that's gaining popularity, bah!"
"Fortune magazine is very good and doesn't report randomly at all. This is smarter than Forbes."
"What kind of influence does Mr. Wei have? Why don't you beat Forbes magazine? You still need that crappy list for publicity."
"With Mr. Wei as an example, it is estimated that in the future, the richest people in the country will not pay attention to the Forbes ranking."
"President Wei's appeal reminds me of Mabus from Eagle Country. He is the only one in the world whose influence can be compared with President Wei."
"The popularity of President Wei can only be matched by the Chinese media, and all overseas media should get out of here!"
"Which media company are you from upstairs? It's a bit too much."
"In fact, you are right. When President Wei debuted... no, he has been famous for so long, and he has only received exclusive interviews from official media."
"Yes, Mr. Wei appeared on CCTV's exclusive interview program "Face to Face" once, and then disappeared."
"I really want to see President Wei being interviewed on TV. I will lick the screen a hundred times."
****
The next day, Wei Kang came to the company and felt that the people around him looked at him strangely.
There are so many people greeting me, and often just saying hello to Mr. Wei will attract a crowd of people, blocking the surrounding area tightly. Everyone's expression is half-smiling, as if they have something special to say.
Countless prying eyes swept over his face and neck, quietly observing him without missing any exposed skin.
But after a while, they often show a hint of disappointment in their expressions and slowly walk back to their seats.
This doubt was not solved until Wen Renlong ran in to give a work report.
"Boss, you are awesome. You are really a role model for our generation. Can you tell me which female celebrity you are dating?"
Wen Renlong came over slyly, blinking hard, looking like he was full of curiosity for knowledge.
Wei Kang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can you, a grown man, be so nosy? Have the results of your birth control pill test come out?"
Wen Renlong's face fell instantly, but he squeezed out a smile in the blink of an eye: "Boss, don't I have to find a partner for my drug test? See if you can introduce me to a beautiful woman from the entertainment industry, I ask Not high, even an eighteenth-tier artist."
Wei Kang shook his head: "You, you still need a woman. I've heard a lot about your romantic affairs."
Wen Renlong said coquettishly: "I've never dated a female star before, so I feel a little bit ready to move."
Wei Kang looked solemn and said, "I was having dinner with a friend last night. It wasn't with any female celebrity. I didn't know why but I was secretly photographed. Don't think too much."
"Anything else?"
Wen Renlong reached out and handed over a stack of documents with a look of disappointment: "Three health products, slimming pills, appetizer tablets, and intestinal cleansing tablets, have been approved and will be put into production immediately."
“The two over-the-counter drugs, antidiarrheal medicine and cold medicine, have been approved very quickly and are expected to be available by the end of this month.”
