"I do business with fairness and balance, and I have made a lot of concessions. However, just because I treat others fairly doesn't mean they will treat me fairly. Of course, there are some businessmen who are like me, but there are still some shady people who are eager to get some benefits from me."

Han Chudong's eyes swept across the report and he spoke again, "These newspapers never do anything that is not in their own interest. There must be someone behind the scenes pushing it to appear in such a prominent page. I estimate that other media will also reprint and publish it, and the trouble will be concentrated on the Rainbow Mask Company. Don't go to the private equity fund first, accompany me to the headquarters of this newspaper."

“You want to know why such news was published?”

"This is just one of the reasons. Ex-boyfriend masks are so profitable. I can't just watch my already reduced market share and sales being affected by this kind of news. I'll ask the PR department to help me say hello. Anyone who dares to publish such fake news will be permanently blocked and will not be allowed to interview me or any of my employees. They will also receive a court summons."

"Okay, boss. I'll contact the lawyer and the public relations department later. Do you think it will be one of those three companies?"

Assistant Arthur asked, of course he was referring to the three companies L'Oreal, Procter & Gamble, and Shiseido. Among them, L'Oreal was the most suspicious because its product positioning overlapped with the Ex-Boyfriend series of facial masks.

Just like investigating a criminal, whoever gains the most benefit is the most suspicious, and this suspicion is not groundless.

After thinking for a moment, Han Chudong shook his head and replied:

"I don't know, but I think my colleagues don't dare to play with fire. After all, once I catch a clue, even if there is only a little suspicion, I can attack them in the same way. Since I started doing business, I found that most conflicts originated from Wall Street.

But now I really can't guess, maybe they want to force me to list this company, or maybe they want to take advantage of the opportunity to carve up more market share, or maybe they are dissatisfied and want revenge because I don't sell them facial mask paper, or maybe some newspaper management with a confused mind simply wants to use this to attract attention, so they must nip this topic in the bud. "

After his initial annoyance, Han Chudong gradually calmed down.

In his opinion, he clearly had a conflict of interest with the Wall Street Journal, and he spent money to advertise in it from time to time. The other party attacked him so openly probably because of other benefits.

Anyway, no matter what, we must not stand idly by. If others treat us as a harmless little sheep, then everyone will dare to take advantage of us in the future.

Occasionally giving in may bring benefits, but blindly giving in will never end well, as countless examples in history have proven.

Check the map to find the address.

The headquarters of The Wall Street Journal is located at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in New York City, and it rents an office building in the XYZ office building complex owned by Rockefeller Realty Company.

These are new buildings. The newest one was completed only last year. They look quite refined and have a modern style.

Without saying hello in advance, Han Chudong parked the car at the door and walked straight inside after getting out.

Even in Manhattan, New York, where wealthy people gather, it is rare to see someone as rich as him who goes out with eight bodyguards, two assistants and two personal secretaries. The security guard didn't even dare to ask more questions. He just kept his eyes on them for a while and continued patrolling as if nothing had happened.

The elevator goes up.

Han Chudong suddenly realized that whether it was investing in the IC industry or further expanding his share in the luxury goods market, it seemed that neither was as important as having the right to speak.

Only if others dare not provoke or anger it, will it have the opportunity to operate and expand steadily. The reason why it has encountered some minor troubles from time to time recently is mainly due to insufficient strength. If it is strong enough, even if it eats alone, there will not be too many problems within the scope permitted by the rules.

The more than 200 million US dollars in the company's account can do a lot of things. Han Chudong was thinking about whether he should look for some targets. He didn't need too many shares, as long as he had a certain say. Before he knew it, he had arrived at the floor where the Wall Street Journal was located.

He asked the bodyguards to wait, and only brought Assistant Arthur with him. He looked forward, walked through the office area, and randomly hooked his finger at a middle-aged white employee and asked, "Where is the executive in your company who can have a say?"

The other party didn't understand what was going on and pointed to the editor-in-chief's office for some unknown reason.

After Han Chudong thanked him and walked over there, he asked in surprise: "Oh my God, that's the new super-rich man on the West Coast, the one called Mason, right?"

"If I remember correctly, it should be him. He looks really young in person."

…

I told the secretary that I wanted to meet someone in the office.

After the other party picked up the phone, the editor-in-chief came out quickly, with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand, saying: “Mason Han, it’s an honor to meet you. I just heard that you were in New York yesterday. I didn’t expect you to come to our newspaper in person. If you have time, how about a short interview?”

Han Chudong didn't look at him well. To offend a company's professional manager and to offend a company are two completely different concepts.

He picked up the newspaper in his hand and said with a fake smile:

"When you published this kind of article, you should have expected that I would contact you. I usually have a good impression of the Wall Street Journal. I would publish news here and accept your interviews. But in the end, you repay me with such a misleading title and content? Give me an explanation. My lawyers are preparing to sue, and my employees are also preparing to cut off all cooperation with the Wall Street Journal, including any cooperation with your subsidiaries, and permanently sever ties with them. Don't even think about earning a penny from me. Believe me, I am very angry now."

The editor-in-chief was already over 50 years old, and after being threatened by Han Chudong, he felt a little embarrassed.

After taking the newspaper, he read it, went back to his desk, sat down, took off his glasses, and said in full force:

"If every time we published a story, we lost a partner, then this newspaper would have closed long ago. I have worked here for 17 years and have never worried about advertising.

You should look at this matter more rationally, such as urging your production factory to be more serious and improve the quality of the products, instead of just destroying people's faces and accusing us without reason. Our newspaper has a long history and has always been loved for its fairness and objectivity. "

Han Chudong said decisively: "If it is really fair, then we won't say acne is disfigurement, and allergies are disfigurement. This is obviously a very common and normal phenomenon.

My company sells hundreds of thousands of facial masks every month. How many cases have this happened? You know nothing about skin, and neither do your subordinates. Yet this article still appeared in your newspaper. I have reason to suspect that this is a deliberate attempt to smear my company’s reputation. Otherwise, the names of Procter & Gamble, L’Oreal and other companies would also appear in the news. As far as I know, their products are also like this. I want you to apologize publicly.”

"That's impossible. Maybe it's really like what you said, it's a normal allergy, but those innocent women's faces did show abnormalities because of using your product."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"The allergy will go away in a few days."

"But there's still a problem, isn't there? Don't dream, I will never agree to a public apology."

After hearing the old man's answer, Han Chudong became even more angry.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly realized that there was no need to continue entangled with this guy, as it would only end up causing trouble for himself, as the other party obviously had no intention of admitting his mistake.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the name tag on the table. Nick Lambert was a good name that was easy to remember.

Smiling, Han Chudong said seriously, "There is nothing wrong with my product. It is you who is at fault. Obviously, you have turned this newspaper into a monster that only knows how to attract attention and has no reason at all. I will find all the individuals and companies that have been bullied by your fairness and objectivity, and provide the best lawyers in the United States for free. Together, we will discuss with the judge whether you are truly objective, or are just a second-rate gossip tabloid with no honor at all."

After saying that, he turned and walked out, not even bothering to look at the other person again. The editor-in-chief, named Nick Lambert, did not try to keep him. He just stared at him with his eyes wide open in anger and said something silently. From his lip movements, it was obvious that he was saying "Asian lunatic."

The bodyguards were a little curious to see the young boss coming back so soon.

Only after getting in the car did Arthur's assistant, who had experienced the whole process, say with a headache: "Mason, angering the editor-in-chief of this newspaper is absolutely the worst thing that can't be worse. No company is willing to have conflicts with these newspapers. They will chase you like mad dogs and dig out every aspect of your life and business."

"It doesn't matter. The one who should be in trouble is that old man. How dare he say that my product will only disfigure people?"

"So...how are you going to make him unlucky?" Assistant Arthur asked.

Han Chudong smiled and shook his head, looking at the tall buildings outside the car window, saying, "Of course I'll do what I do best, use money to destroy it. Help me contact the major shareholders of this newspaper, and tell them that if they want to make a huge sum of money, they should come to my dinner party. Find someone to prepare a good meal for me, Arthur."

…

As if nothing had happened, he continued to go to Mason Private Equity Fund on Wall Street.

The company has been established for less than a year, and the initial investors, wealthy individuals and institutions, have already made a tidy profit, mainly thanks to two companies, Walmart and KFC, which have achieved outstanding results this year.

Even if the overall environment of the financial consumer market is sluggish, the stock price will still rise if the turnover increases.

The main reason why Han Chudong came to New York this time was to supervise and manage Mason Private Equity.

Today he made an appointment to meet with Warren Buffett, the man who will be called the stock god in the future, for the purpose of Berkshire Hathaway...
