Chapter 286

On June 21, 1996, Forbes magazine published the annual global billionaire list, summarizing the income of the super rich on the global billionaire list in 1996.

With the release of the list, it has naturally attracted extensive attention. Naturally, because the Internet has just sprung up in today's era, it is not as lively as later generations, but it is inevitable to cause a burst of excitement within a certain range.

Since the first global rich list was launched in 82, it has aroused great repercussions all over the world. After all, wealth is always fascinating, especially in the western world.

Later generations of Forbes are said to compile more than 100 lists of people, wealth, companies and lifestyle every year, but the list with great influence around the world is naturally the rich list.

Naturally, there is also a list of rich people in the United States, which is also very important. It is still a rich list, that is, the list of rich people in the United States, which is called the Forbes 400 rich list.

After all, most of the early global super rich were concentrated in the United States, especially the top rich on the list. Naturally, the rich list in the United States had a great influence in the United States, but the Forbes 400 rich list was generally published in September.

In the view of Li Feng of later generations, among the major lists published every year, two magazines must be the most influential, one is Forbes and the other is fortune magazine. Among them, Forbes's rich list and the Fortune 500 are definitely the most interesting lists.

……

Unfortunately, Fortune magazine belongs to Time Warner, and Li Feng knows that it can't be included in the bag. Otherwise, Li Feng will certainly make Barry pay attention to or even propose an acquisition. However, in addition to Fortune magazine, BusinessWeek, which is known as one of the three major business magazines in the United States, has also got a little eyebrow.

In addition to wealth and Forbes' great imagination, there is another magazine that is not inferior to the two, that is, BusinessWeek.

Originally, Li Feng didn't know, but when Li Feng proposed to buy Forbes, Barry said why it wasn't business week. It wasn't until Barry educated Li Feng that Li Feng knew that the circulation of business week was bigger than Forbes.

In the United States, in terms of influence, today's Forbes magazine's reputation is slightly inferior to fortune and BusinessWeek. Fortune and BusinessWeek are the main competitors.

Naturally, from the perspective of the global influence of later generations, it seems that the reputation of BusinessWeek is still Forbes. In fact, it is only in China. Who makes the Forbes fortune list too famous, let China know.

Ordinary people in China will pay attention to a business magazine in Meidi unless they are professionals, which is why ordinary people in China in future generations only ask about wealth and Forbes.

Li Feng mentioned before that if the media group wants to acquire paper media, it mainly focuses on business, fashion magazines and publications. According to Barry, it seems that BusinessWeek is also negotiating.

If BusinessWeek was also acquired by Li Feng, plus the new magazine invested by Barry before, it would be fastcompany, the top business magazine in the United States. At that time, the four most important business magazines in the United States, in addition to wealth, would all be in the bag.

Li Feng is still looking forward to this. Li Feng can't be more satisfied with the management of the media group led by Barry.

……

With the announcement of the Forbes rich list, in addition to gates being the richest man again, there have been a lot of reports on Li Feng's sudden rise. Even good people and various gossip tabloids call Li Feng "the richest man in Hollywood".

There's no way. Although various rumors about Li Feng's wealth have been reported before, and although it is clear that Li Feng's wealth is amazing, Forbes has cleared up Li Feng and let the outside world know how much Li Feng's "real" wealth and wealth are. In addition, Li Feng is only 16 years old, so we can imagine the result.

Li Feng, 16, has a fortune of more than $5 billion. After 10 years, how much can he achieve when he is 26 years old? 20 or 30 years later, thinking of all kinds of possible, all kinds of media reporters are excited and have news selling points.

Moreover, Li Feng is a real self-made orphan. This is the representative of the typical "American Dream". There are more exciting things than this.

As a result, almost all media in the United States are reporting now. Whether it is national media such as time magazine and USA today, or gossip tabloids, or even a large number of TV networks, there are many reports of Li Feng, which is much more intensive than a series of company reports before.

It is now that people in the United States really know Li Feng, which is the charm of Forbes wealth list.

Naturally, with the global spread of the rich list, Li Feng has accumulated many fake fans all over the world. Although it is estimated that even if Li Feng stands in front of others, these "fans" may not know Li Feng, but after all, they have heard of Li Feng's wealth deeds.

……

All kinds of interview invitations poured in again, including those from the financial and entertainment circles, but Li Feng declined. Naturally, Li Feng didn't take over the interview, resulting in more interview invitations for Li Feng, leaving Li Feng speechless for a while.

In fact, many people hold the chance and think that if their invitation is accepted, this is Li Feng's first formal interview. If they can get such an opportunity, they will be famous in the United States immediately.

Finally, even time magazine sent an interview invitation, but Li Feng refused. Then even Barry Diller couldn't help looking for it in person, saying that Li Feng was asked to accept the interview of his magazines and TV stations. After all, fat water doesn't flow to outsiders.

Li Feng finally refused, even his own, but promised that the first interview in the future would be given to his own family before he could deal with Barry.

Li Feng really doesn't want to be interviewed. Of course, it is estimated that his photos have spread all over the world through various channels in 10 to 20 years, but now in 96, Li Feng still wants to be quiet for a few more years.

In Li Feng's vision, while today's information dissemination is still relatively primitive, he happens to be stable for a few years. When later generations' information is flooded, he can't be stable if he wants to be stable. After all, people like Bill Gates are under the attention of others.

……

Naturally, with the spread of media reports, Li Feng's phone rang constantly. In addition to his own women, the subordinate bosses of other major companies called to congratulate him. At the same time, friends and partners they had contacted came one after another, such as Yang Zhiyuan, Mansour, Kenny and so on.

This is not, just hung up Yang Zhiyuan's phone, Li Feng can't do less, and finally shut down his private phone.

It's funny to think about the chat with Yang Zhiyuan on the phone. Now Yang Zhiyuan and David Philo have also entered the list. Yang Zhiyuan's ranking is also good. David's is relatively low and is coming to the end.

Thanks to Li Feng's advance layout, both Yang Zhiyuan and David Philo have more Yahoo shares than those in the previous life. In addition, today's Yahoo has no inferior market value compared with the previous life a year later, resulting in Yang Zhiyuan's entry into the list a year earlier. In the previous life, Yang Zhiyuan entered the wealth list for the first time in 1997.

In this regard, Li Feng can only feel that our little butterfly has no other influence, but it can still have enough influence on his career.

Li Feng doesn't know, because his greatest influence is that he has become a super rich. Naturally, Li Feng also believes that with the continuous expansion and accumulation of his wealth and career in the future, the wind caused by the small wings of the little butterfly must be getting bigger and bigger.
