Chapter 144 The Forbes List Comes To Your Door
On the day Li Xun left.
Several companies invested by the Longteng Group have become popular in the eyes of foreign investors.
They didn't expect that Longguo's Internet would have such amazing potential.
No, no, these Internet companies can no longer be described with potential.
Their business operations are even much better than those of the developed American Internet.
The Internet bubble broke out in the U.S. stock market entirely because it failed to find a suitable way to make profits and was operating at a loss.
Some companies have fallen into vicious competition, their advertising investment remains high, and the cost of acquiring customers is frighteningly high.
But what is different in Longguo is that the Internet is in a blank state. Several companies in the Longteng family not only occupy the market, but also invest very little in advertising.
Such a superb operation method is completely in line with the national conditions. Large foreign companies that want to enter the Dragon Country market are blocked at every turn, and they are defeated by the Dragon Series.
It's not that they haven't thought about investing in a few Dragon Kingdom agents and imitating their operating model.
But at this time, Penguin and other companies have become a trend, and they are in full swing in the Dragon Kingdom. No company can survive under the joint efforts of several companies to block it.
It is also a stupid thing to want to have more money than Li Xun, so they can only quietly accumulate strength in areas that Li Xun has not seen.
The development momentum of companies such as Penguin has attracted the attention of the Forbes list.
At this time, the Soaring Dragon group was chatting about this matter.
"The foreigners at Forbes Company are really annoying. They surround me outside the company every day and ask me questions."
"Yes, they just found the Penguin Building after looking for you, Brother Dong. I was asked and had no choice but to report a net worth of 100 million yuan. 27
Brother Ma still owns 20% of Penguin's shares. Penguin's latest market valuation is US$3 billion. 300 million is obviously an understatement.
"I was so frustrated that I squandered 150 million US dollars." With Qiandu's current development momentum, Robin's net worth must be more than 150 million, and he has obviously underreported a lot.
"If you didn't tell me earlier, am I the only honest person in the group? I quoted 200 million US dollars!" Chaoyang was still a little vanity, so he didn't over-quote 200 million US dollars, which is quite fair.
"Mr. Qiu and Xiaolei, how much did you pay?" Brother Dong couldn't help but ask.
"I quoted 100 million US dollars. Now that "Jianwang" is gaining momentum, Rebus couldn't even try to under-quote, so he simply made up the whole amount and sent away Forbes' company personnel.
"I quoted 350 million!" Qiu Bojun owns many shares of Kingsoft Games. The combined valuation of WPS and Kingsoft Games is obviously the highest among everyone.
"Congratulations, Mr. Qiu, you may be the richest man in the country according to Forbes this year!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Qiu..."
Qiu Bojun was a little dumbfounded. He just reported a number. Is the Forbes list so lax?
This is really the case. Just look at the Forbes list. Except for some who want to attract attention, who would really expose their net worth.
Rich people in China all understand the principle of keeping their wealth private.
It was only this year that Forbes turned its attention to the richest people in China. In its haste, it was not able to rigorously study the net worth of the richest people in China.
"Don't worry. According to what I learned from my friends, the salary for being in the industry is higher than what we get, and the richest man may not be our turn." Brother Dong has many friends who are in the industry, so of course he knows some inside information.
"Who wants to be the richest man? Let him sit down. Anyway, I don't think this is a good thing." Xiao Ma said.
What they are more concerned about is the net worth of the boss behind the scenes, Li Da Chaebol.
A few years ago, Forbes canceled its statistics on the royal family and established families. Strangely, Li Xun is still not on the list. The Forbes list is obviously unfair.
Many people on the Internet think that without Li Xun, this list is a joke.
It's not that Forbes doesn't want to register Li Xun's wealth, but that the Li chaebol is unusually resistant to this matter.
In addition, Li Xun's whereabouts are secretive, and the CEO of Forbes cannot see Li Xun in person at all.
Li Xun's investments are spread all over the world, and there is no way to count them. They estimate that Li Xun is the richest man in the world, but they still want to find out in person.
For this reason, Steve, the CEO of Forbes, traveled across mountains and rivers to Li Village after hearing that Li Xun was in his hometown in Longguo.
Fortunately, the toll checkpoint at the entrance of the village has been replaced by a billboard welcoming you to Licun.
Li Cun's joke was not spread internationally.
Li Xun, who was holding his wife on the hot bed, heard the noise at the end of the village.
"Youde, why don't you go and see what happened?"
After a while, Han Youde ran back in a hurry:
"Master, people from Forbes are here!"
"Shouldn't we have told them to get as far away as possible? I'm not interested in the rich list!"
"Master, it's a coincidence that they met Mr. Li Zheng at the entrance of the village. They are not only interested in you, but also the whole family." Han Youde said with a bit of laughter.
Li Zhengben was not interested in being interviewed by Forbes.
But the simple villagers welcomed them into the village with the principle that visitors are guests, not to mention a group of foreigners.
As the patriarch, he still has to show off.
Otherwise, if you just say that you need to be more hospitable to guests, you will slap yourself in the face.
After telling everyone watching the excitement to go home, Li Zheng closed the door and planned to deal with this group of foreigners.
"Mr. Li, I still want to know about your family's assets and promote Longteng's brand this time. I'll tell you later...
"Stop it, Long Teng still needs you to promote it?"
Li Zheng didn't give Steve any face at all. His old Li family only covered the sky in Korea. Not long ago, Li Xun also smashed the US technology stocks and completely broke up the Sakura Country consortium. He still wants Forbes to help promote it?
Steve's success depends on his thick skin. He vowed: "Of course everyone in the capital world knows about Long Teng, but the public doesn't know the inside story."
The old man immediately felt that this guy was hopeless, and he had begun to resort to any means to open up the domestic market of Forbes.
Li Xun still pushed the door open and said:
"Here is a bag of money. If you don't want to be banned by our Li family, just keep your mouth shut. Our Li family and his son will never be on the rich list!"
Hearing the threat, Steve shrank his neck and didn't even have the guts to take the money.
Others spent money to get on his list, but this was the first time they spent money to get on the list.
"Okay, please don't worry, Mr. Li, I know how to do it." Steve held the heavy bag of money, but he was thinking about how to bypass the Li family and open up the domestic market on the Forbes list.
He quickly noticed | Li Xun didn't say that Tenglong agents would not be included in the list.
A few days later, the Forbes Rich List of the World and the Dragon Country Rich List were released.
The first thing it caused was international shock.
Because Yi Zhengxue, vice president of Longteng Capital, David, vice president of the US branch, and Park Zhengyi, president of Shihan Technology, have been included in the list.
The world's richest man is Microsoft's President Bill. Although Microsoft's stock has plummeted 50%, founder Bill still tops the list with assets of US$52 billion.
Investor and stock god Buffett, whose net worth shrank to US$30 billion due to the Internet bubble, remains unchanged.
Ranking third is Oracle CEO Els.
Ranking fourth on the world's richest list is Yi Zhengxue, vice president of Longteng Capital, closely behind Els with a net worth of US$20 billion.
Oil Prince Chartres, with a net worth of 18 billion, can only rank fifth.
Yi Zhengxue is just a high-end wage earner. How can He De be ranked fourth on the world's richest list?
Everyone studied the announcement released by Forbes and found that Yi Zhengxue's assets mainly come from the shares of Longteng Capital. He owns 10% of the shares of Longteng Corporation, as well as shares of branches such as Shi Technology.
Although it is not stated clearly how big Longteng Capital is, people can still do simple division calculations.
Longteng Capital actually has a scale of 200 billion US dollars. You must know that Longteng is a private equity company and does not raise funds from outside, but it has such a large scale.
Wait... the public has discovered the beauty of it.
Doesn’t that mean that Li Xun’s personal assets have exceeded 200 billion?
The world has discovered that David, the vice president of the Longteng branch, ranks tenth with a net worth of 13.5 billion. The main source of wealth is the shareholding of the Longteng branch and his personal investment in the United States.
Even He Zheming, who entered the list for the first time, ranks as the richest Chinese in the world with a net worth of 11 billion.
Everyone discovered that they had underestimated Longteng Capital. If investments in Sakura Country were included, Li Xun’s net worth far exceeded US$200 billion!
How rich Li Xun is has suddenly become a hot topic among people.
Perhaps the only ones that can be compared with the Li family are the royal family and the reclusive family of the oil country.
What is also surprising is the rich list of Dragon Kingdom Continent.
People simply ignore the top five on the list because sixth to tenth are too conspicuous.
They are all related to Longteng Capital.
853, the founder of the Dragon Series, actually accounts for half of the list.
Internet tycoons actually account for half of the list.
Some people who know the truth are talking nonsense on the Internet, feeling that the Forbes list is a tribute to Longteng Capital.
But there are also people who have come up with evidence side by side.
For example, Li Fuzhen, the richest woman in South Korea, ranks 18th on the rich list with 20% of the shares of Samsung Group. According to the equity details disclosed in the listing, Li Xun holds more than 30% of Samsung's shares. With this investment alone, Li Xun will be among the top ten richest people in the world.
Judging from the shares held by several large listed companies in Korea, Li Xun can rank first in the world's richest list just by relying on these investments.
Seeing the controversy on the Internet, Li Xun smiled. The more controversy, the better. Anyway, it would be fine if he didn't make the list. If Gates wants to be the richest man, just let him be.
The industrial tycoons in the Mainland are all a little playful. They are obviously rich first and second.
However, all the limelight was robbed by the bottom five. They did not think that Forbes was messing around.
Because now the Internet has gained momentum through the Spring Festival Gala.
Coupled with the promotion of the Forbes list, the domestic people have experienced the wealth-making myth of the Internet for the first time. Many young people regard Dong Ge and others as their idols and join the ranks of Internet bricklayers.
"How dare a few high-level workers to say they are among the top ten richest people with a salary of several million a year?"
Huang Guangyu looked at the freshly released business newspapers and saw the undisguised praise of several new Internet tycoons, which made him very jealous.
The Huang brothers ranked 25th on the domestic list with a net worth of 120 million.
But the two brothers really have the confidence to be ironic. Their net profit is tens of millions a year, and the company's accounts have hundreds of millions in cash flow.
If you really want to compare financial resources, a bunch of Internet upstarts can't compare to these industrial tycoons.
So in Huang Guangyu's view, Internet rich people are a joke.
It was his brother Huang Guangyao who gave the most pertinent evaluation.
"Don't you know that they are planning to go public collectively?"
Thinking of this, Huang Guangyao couldn't help but marvel. It has such a valuation even before it is listed. If it is really going to be listed, the net worth of Dong Ge and others will double.
When the time comes, it’s not certain that the richest man will really change hands. .
