We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

For several days in a row, all the employees of Oriental Press were in a state of excitement.

On the first day, "Oriental Wealth" sold 280,000 copies;

On the second day, "Oriental Wealth" sold 210,000 copies;

On the third day, "Oriental Wealth" sold 160,000 copies;

On the fourth day, "Oriental Wealth" sold 110,000 copies;

… …

These figures were compiled from all markets, including overseas markets.

Who knew that in just two days, it would almost complete the task, heading straight for a million copies.

The entire Southeast Asia, plus Xiangjiang, Haojiang, and Wanwan, has a population of over 300 million, and the number of Chinese people is at least 30 to 40 million or even more. Selling a million copies of this magazine is really not a lot.

As sales increased, the reputations of these wealthy individuals gradually spread beyond Xiangjiang.

However, Su Cheng, despite being ranked first, did not experience a significant increase in influence due to the emergence of the rich list.

Because his own influence was already strong enough, being ranked first was just a matter of course.

Therefore, this time, people's attention to the rich list was more focused on those wealthy individuals who had not been heard of before or were not very famous.

"I never thought that this Li Zhengguang is the boss of Zhengguang Group. The tutoring class my child attends on weekends is Zhengguang Training School. Last semester, through this training school, his math score increased by a full 30 points, and his English score increased by more than 40 points. At school, he went from being ranked at the bottom to being ranked at the top. But these educational training institutions really make money. This President Li's assets actually exceed 300 million. You really can't tell."

"Who says otherwise? I just bought my wife a gold necklace at Zhou Xiaofu Jewelry Store a while ago, and today I realized that the boss of Zhou Xiaofu is actually a super-rich person ranked in the top 100."

"These are nothing. Look at this He Qinghua. His company is in the consulting industry, but he can actually rank 69th!"

"Look, this boss is even more outrageous. He's in the funeral industry, and he can still rank 63rd."

"If I could be on the list one day, it would be worth it even if my lifespan was reduced by ten years."

"You can only daydream."

… …

On the streets and alleys, or in major office buildings, many people were holding "Oriental Wealth" and discussing it with their friends.

Everyone's focus was more on others. Su Cheng, the already recognized richest man, was not discussed much.

This can actually be regarded as achieving Su Cheng's original goal of creating the rich list, allowing more wealthy individuals to share the attention with him. He just wanted to make money in a low-key manner.

However, what Su Cheng didn't expect was that the release of this ranking in Xiangjiang, Haojiang, and other places did not increase its influence, but it had the opposite effect in the more distant European and American regions.

Although the rich list released by Oriental Press was not sold in Europe and America, many major mainstream media in the world had offices in Xiangjiang.

Therefore, when the Oriental Press's rich list was released, major mainstream media around the world reported on this matter.

The rich list, a new thing that appeared for the first time, instantly attracted the attention of many people in Europe and America.

They are different from the Chinese. They don't pay attention to the names on the back of the list, but only pay attention to the first place.

Although Su Cheng has a certain reputation all over the world, after all, the time he has risen is not long. Therefore, this time, it has allowed more people to know Su Cheng.

The influence of a Chinese richest man began to gradually expand around the world.

When the list was transmitted to the beautiful country, Malcolm Forbes, the head of Forbes magazine in New York, had his eyes lit up.

In recent years, the sales of Forbes magazine have been relatively average. Although the company has a long history, a full 62 years, a long history cannot bring actual profits to the company.

Therefore, Malcolm Forbes tried every means to solve the problem of low magazine sales.

However, obviously, this is a big challenge.

Forbes magazine has a large network of contacts in the beautiful country due to its long history.

Despite this, the magazine, under his control, barely managed to survive without going bankrupt. After all, without sales, all the connections are useless.

But Malcolm Forbes also has a dream. As a magazine company, he hopes that Forbes magazine can one day become famous in the world.

The latest ⊥ novel ⊥ is ⊥ first ⊥ published ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ books ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥!

It's just that there is no way to do it.

However, the emergence of the Oriental Rich List allowed him to see a way for Forbes magazine to rise, which is to create a Forbes Beautiful Country Rich List.

Although plagiarism is annoying, Malcolm Forbes can't control that much anymore. He only hopes that his magazine company can become famous in the world as soon as possible.

So, he quickly found his son Steve Forbes to discuss the matter of creating a Forbes Rich List in the beautiful country.

Steve Forbes, the chairman of the Forbes Group, who is famous in later generations, is only 32 years old at this time. Although he does not control the entire Forbes magazine, he has been working in the company with his father for ten years and has already become the company's second-in-command.

In recent years, Forbes magazine has been able to persevere, largely thanks to Steve Forbes.

"Father, this rich list is definitely worth doing. We must seize the opportunity. This Oriental Press may not be able to beat us in the beautiful country. After all, we are a local magazine company. Although our strength is average, we have the advantage of geographical location. We don't know whether this Oriental Press will create a list in our beautiful country in the future, but at least they shouldn't have started doing it yet. This is our opportunity. Xiangjiang is just a small market, but it can become famous in the world. What about our beautiful country? This is the world's largest market. If our Forbes magazine conquers the beautiful country, it is equivalent to conquering the whole world!" Steve Forbes said excitedly to Malcolm Forbes.

Steve Forbes has a unique and forward-looking vision. When he learned about the rich list, he realized that this rich list might be the project that changes the fate of Forbes magazine. Once he seizes the opportunity in the beautiful country, the opportunity to rise is great.

"I think so too. We have accumulated a lot of contacts in the beautiful country over the years, and we also know many rich people. This is also a big advantage for us. Then, let's start doing this next. Immediately convene the company's management, and we will start discussing this matter and approve this project as soon as possible," Malcolm Forbes said very decisively.

Forbes magazine is a family business. The senior executives are basically people from the Forbes family. So, the Forbes family held an emergency internal meeting to discuss the matter of creating a rich list in the beautiful country.

As for Oriental Press, it had already started forming a survey team in the beautiful country a month ago.

The news that Forbes magazine wanted to create a rich list also reached Chen Zhibai not long after.

"President Chen, how is the rich list going?" Su Cheng called Chen Zhibai this day.

"Boss, our 'Oriental Wealth' has currently sold more than one million copies, but there is bad news," Chen Zhibai said.

"Oh? What bad news?" Su Cheng asked curiously.

"Our competitor in the beautiful country has appeared," Chen Zhibai said seriously.
