Felix is a typical white supremacist. In fact, such people are not uncommon in Western upper class society, but most of them are well hidden.
The so-called concealment means not directly saying or showing racial discrimination, but the behavior of such people always carries the shadow of racial discrimination.
For example, Felix has great prejudice against his Asian employees, African-American employees, Latino employees and other people of color. When assigning work, he will allocate more workload to these people.
In the minds of such people, there is a deep-rooted illusion, always feeling that everything is always done best by white people, so when he realizes that Li Mu’s strength is not just a bubble, but Li Mu’s strength is far beyond what he can see. When he came to this, he felt extremely frustrated deep in his heart.
If the world's richest man had always been Bill Gates, Felix wouldn't think there was anything wrong. But once the world's richest man might become Li Mu, he would feel even more uncomfortable than his dead mother.
But it was uncomfortable, and the work ordered by the superiors still had to be completed honestly, so he could only summon the editorial department and give the senior management's requirements one by one.
Therefore, when Li Mu was three years old, the birthday photo he took with his parents in a photo studio for five yuan became the cover of the next issue of the American edition of Time Magazine.
Felix looked at the sample manuscript and felt uncomfortable.
He felt that Li Mu's use of such a casual photo as the cover of Time Magazine was an insult to Time Magazine and an insult to himself.
However, he was unable to resist.
He took the initiative to take the writing job into his own hands. He originally wanted to write something sarcastic and sarcastic about Li Mu in the specific report, but when he thought about the way Li Mu would take revenge, he immediately gave up.
Even the chairman of Mars' board of directors couldn't afford to offend Li Mu. If he was really targeted by Li Mu, would he have to peel off a layer of his skin
So he could only settle for the next best thing. While detailing Li Mu's family history in the article, he also made some sarcastic remarks at every opportunity.
In the article, Felix praised Li Mu and the miraculous development speed of Makino Technology on the surface, but secretly he always reminded readers to let readers know that the reason why Makino Technology is successful is not because of how powerful Makino Technology is, nor is it because of Li Mu’s That's awesome, but it's the negligence of American companies.
Microsoft's negligence, Google's negligence, Amazon's negligence, and eBay's negligence have led to the vigorous development of Li Mu's Makino Technology. If these American companies did not underestimate the enemy, Makino Technology would have no chance of global rise, and would even be suppressed by these American companies. The locals cannot survive.
Felix didn't expect that he had worked so hard to bury some ugly content in the manuscript. Just when he was about to arrange it to be typed directly, the top management of Time Warner asked for an unprecedented review.
In the past, as the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine, Felix had absolute power to decide the content of the entire magazine, and the senior leaders of the group would not review his content first.
After all, a senior editor like him has strong credibility. Generally speaking, the senior management of the group will only communicate with him after he has made a mistake, and will never intervene in advance.
But this time, the group's senior management attached great importance to this report, because Time Warner had long seen Li Mu's huge resources in the field of media and entertainment, and wanted to use Time Magazine's report on Li Mu to leave a good impression on Li Mu first and create a better future for him. Prepare for future cooperation.
After reading the article written by Felix himself, the senior management immediately saw his little thoughts. In anger, they immediately announced the personnel decision and terminated the contractual relationship between Time Magazine and Felix. Deputy Editor Anger Lu temporarily took over as editor-in-chief and was responsible for writing a new article.
Felix didn't expect that his small actions would trigger such a sensitive and extreme reaction from the group. He originally wanted to protest and seek more resignation compensation for himself, but Time Warner's senior management only replied to him with one sentence, and he Totally give in.
Time Warner executives told him to pack up and leave, otherwise they would send the article he wrote to Makino Technology and inform all his peers about it.
Felix wants to use Time Magazine to convey his ideological tendencies and include private information. This in itself is not a big problem. After all, content workers are relatively subjective, and every editor-in-chief will include personal opinions in the publications he is responsible for.
However, Felix wants to include white supremacist ideas in his report on Li Mu. This is simply taking a risk on Time Magazine and even Time Warner.
The risk of satirizing and ridiculing Li Mu is much greater than satirizing the President of the United States. Due to his status, it is basically impossible for the President of the United States to retaliate against a company, but Li Mu is not subject to this restriction, and he also has such powerful online resources. Once angered, For him, the consequences will not be much worse than Mars.
If this report ultimately angers Li Mu, it is likely to cause huge losses and threats to Time Warner. If Felix's approach is known to other companies in the industry, no company will dare to use him.
Felix only realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, but it was already too late. Faced with the disguised threat from the top management, he could only accept the other party's conditions and terminated the contract with Time Warner.
…
When the latest issue of Time Magazine was published, Li Mu was preparing to leave for the United States.
Before setting off, he heard that Schwarzenegger's celebration party had invited many North American first-line stars, including not only celebrities in the film and television industry, but also many super idols in the pop music industry, including Madonna, Celine Dion, Michael ·A top celebrity like Jackson, so he selfishly wanted to bring Du Wei with him so that she could have the opportunity to get in touch with these talented people in the North American music circle.
Coincidentally, Du Wei's favorite singer is Celine Dion. Not only does she like her songs, but she has also been learning to imitate her voice, singing method and many subtle processing techniques.
Due to the maturity and in-depth systemization of Western music, overall, Western music, especially contemporary pop music, is much ahead of other countries and regions. At this stage, basically the whole world is imitating Western music.
It is said that Queen Wang Fei also borrowed a lot from the singing style of the Cranberries' lead singer Dorothy, and gradually formed her own distinctive voice and singing style.
When Du Wei heard that Li Mu wanted to take her to meet Celine Dion, as well as pop music kings and queens like Madonna and Michael Jackson, she was so excited that she couldn't say anything. She immediately communicated with her family and got their consent. After asking for support, he asked the school teacher for a few days off, then packed his luggage and followed Li Mu to the airport, preparing to fly to the United States.
On the way to the airport, Du Wei was extremely excited and kept telling Li Mu that when she saw Celine Dion, she must take a photo with her and ask her to sign her autograph.
Li Mu said with a smile: "Xiaowei, you have to remember that you are not going to the United States to chase stars this time."
"Ah?" Du Wei asked in confusion: "Why? I just went to chase stars..."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "You are here to make friends, do you understand?"
"make friends?"
Du Wei has a simple personality and has an excellent family background to support her. She has actually been doing one thing for 20 years - "doing what she wants to do." Her parents, sister, and relatives have always protected her very much. Okay, so she has almost no city and can't figure out what Li Mu means by making friends.
Li Mu said seriously: "At the celebration banquet for Schwarzenegger's swearing-in, you don't need to be anyone's fan. Don't put yourself and those celebrities on two completely different levels. Instead, put yourself with They are put together, no matter how tall they are, just remember that you are not lower than any of them."
Du Wei stuck out her tongue and said, "Then how do I tell Celine Dion that I admire her?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Hide your admiration in your heart. After meeting her, you can say that you like her music very much and hope to make friends with her."
Du Wei pursed her lower lip lightly and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am a world-renowned diva, how can I be friends with you?"
Li Mu smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, when the time comes, these world-renowned divas and stars you talk about will take the initiative to make friends with you."
Although Li Mu has never been in the entertainment industry, he is very familiar with the nature of the entertainment industry. What can truly become the center of the entertainment industry is not the superb artistic level, but the strong resources and strength.
Boss Ma is a businessman who is surrounded by celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry. What really matters is resources and strength.
In terms of resources and strength, Li Mu is much higher than Boss Ma at his peak, so his attraction to the entertainment industry is definitely the strongest in the world.
Li Mu also knew very well that this time he gave Schwarzenegger face and participated in his inauguration and celebration party. He was definitely the one with the highest status in the audience. The status of Du Wei, whom he brought with him, would naturally not be low.
With her own endorsement of Du Wei, she can definitely be on an equal footing with any top star in North America, and it is natural for her to make friends with big names like Celine Dion and Michael Jackson.
Du Wei didn't understand what Li Mu was talking about. She just felt that having the opportunity to meet her biggest idol was an extremely happy thing, so much so that she couldn't help but fantasize about it in her mind and let herself see it. What should I say to Celine Dion
Thinking of this, she was even a little nervous, fearing that she would lose etiquette then.
Seeing her nervous look, Li Mu smiled helplessly, took out his mobile phone, and sent a text message to Li Ziwei, who was sitting in the front passenger seat. The content of the text message was: "After I get on the plane, give Schwarzenegger a message." He sent an email to Ge and said that I would take my sister to attend his inauguration and celebration party, telling him that my sister liked Celine Dion very much and wanted to get to know her, and asked him to help arrange it."
