Chapter 1684 The Richest Man! The Richest Man! !
Yin Jun's assets in Australia are also divided into two parts.
The first is Australia's Wankang Company.
This company, which offers municipal engineering services, water and electricity and other daily services, and farm planting and breeding, has emigrated more than 53,000 people from Xiangjiang after two or three years of development.
Including their family members, the total number is more than 130,000.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how much Australia needs immigrants, it is impossible to accept so many immigrants in such a short period of time, and they still come from one region.
But considering the specific environment of Western Australia at that time and the various desperate service efforts of Wankang Company in Western Australia, this does not seem so strange.
Not to mention Western Australia, Wankang Company, which has made a name for itself, is now very well-known throughout Australia.
Many cities on the southern coast have invited them to settle in to provide services to urban residents, especially those in villages and towns far away from big cities.
no way.
As long as small town residents and rural residents have experienced the services of Wankang Company, it is impossible to live without them.
In a place as vast and sparsely populated as Australia, and on the basis that Australian locals are very lazy, when can you find a company that is on call 24 hours a day other than Wankang Company?
No matter when we call, we will rush over to repair broken wires and lights within 3 hours, and rush over to repair burst water pipes and sewers within 5 hours.
When heavy snow accumulates, the roads will be cleared in up to 2 days.
Including house repairs, etc., as long as it is a variety of life-related matters, there is nothing that Wankang Company will not do, and there is no problem that they will not actively help solve.
And their attitudes are very good. For example, they have been widely publicized since the year before last, "If you have something to do at home, just ask the people from Wankang Company to help take care of your dolls and pets," etc. It is not uncommon.
Therefore, with a total of more than 130,000 people, the vast majority of people in Western Australia agreed with both hands and feet, without any reluctance.
Therefore, the valuation of Wankang Company is not bad, about US$500 million.
The second remaining one is amazing.
It is the Qilin Mining Company that has attracted the attention of global mining giants and reported wildly in newspapers in the past few months.
Yin Jun won exploration rights for a full 100,000 square kilometers in Western Australia.
Originally, the mining giants thought that this guy was a layman and would get his head bruised if he foolishly got in.
Unexpectedly, in less than a year, a super large iron mine was dug up by Qilin Mining Company.
A total of 1.5 billion tons of rich ore with a quality of up to 65%, even if it is valued at the current price, it is still worth 30 billion US dollars!
This makes countless mining companies envious and jealous.
We have worked hard to find ore for so many years, and often lose all our money. As a result, you can get a large iron ore with just one move. Is it true that geniuses have better luck?
No matter what they thought, the valuation of Kirin Mining Company was raised to US$5 billion.
Don’t think that having a mine worth US$30 billion means it must be valued at more than US$30 billion. This is completely wrong.
Because the development and transportation of 30 billion US dollars of ore are not small expenses.
And Western Australia doesn’t give you these ores for free.
Exploration rights are only for prospecting. If you find a mine, you will have to pay them dividends and pay huge taxes, which is another huge expense.
Moreover, if the price of iron ore drops in the future, US$30 billion will definitely be impossible. If the price of labor and other factors increases again, the overall mine value will decrease again.
Therefore, this valuation of US$5 billion is relatively reasonable.
As for why Yin Jun could sell such an iron mine at a valuation of US$30 billion, several major investment banks found it incredible.
But even if the wealthy people in Xiangjiang are willing, they can only shake their heads.
Calculating this, Yin Jun's industry in Western Australia is worth US$5.5 billion, which is certainly not much.
Perhaps Yin Jun’s 100,000 square kilometers of exploration rights will yield one or two more iron mines, but no one can predict the specific number and when they will be discovered.
So it is better to predict based on the existing ones.
Compared with Western Australia, Kirin Group's industries in the United States are more prosperous and developed.
Even though its name is the North American branch of Kirin Group, it is actually perfectly fine to be divided into a separate group, just like Kirin Culture.
Moreover, the North American branch of Kirin Group has more branches than those in Xiangjiang.
Currently, its most important asset is its entertainment media group.
Among them, ABC Television News Network, Disney and United Artists Pictures are the main ones, and then there are Disney Amusement Park and Kirin North American Cinemas.
ABC TV News Network paid Yin Jun 3.6 billion, but there was a bit of a premium, so the valuation given by the investment bank was about 3 billion US dollars.
Disney originally purchased it for US$2.4 billion, and United Arts Film Company purchased it for US$400 million. However, the North American branch of Kirin Group suffered more than US$1 billion in liabilities, so in fact, the overall purchase capital should be US$3.8 billion.
But after so many years of development, the two major companies are now continuing to create good results, developing prosperously, and their value has naturally increased significantly.
Goldman Sachs now values the two companies, Disney at US$4.3 billion and United Artists at US$900 million, for a total of US$5.2 billion.
Since it is a media company, newspapers and magazines are definitely indispensable.
The North American branch of Kirin Group currently owns two best-selling magazines in the United States, namely "Vanity Fair" and "ME".
Among them, Vanity Fair has already become a strong new force in the field of daily fashion consumption through its continuous rectification and innovation. It successfully held the "Vanity Fair Dinner" and became even more famous. It is expected to become the number one in the subdivision industry.
Bear Stearns, one of the five major investment banks, valued it at US$200 million, which is no exaggeration.
Another magazine, "ME", is even more eccentric, but it is even more outstanding in fashion and apparel. It is touted and pursued by countless fashion people. Bear Stearns has valued it at US$100 million.
So overall, the value of the entertainment media segment is a total of 8.5 billion U.S. dollars.
As an auxiliary to the entertainment group, the North American branch of Kirin Group also has a digital field company that specializes in special effects, a Silicon Graphics company that specializes in graphics and special effects workstations, and IMAX, the manufacturer of IMAX screens that is becoming more and more popular in North America.
It's just that although these three companies are well-known within the industry, they are too niche after all.
Their sales targets are not ordinary people, but companies in the corresponding industries, so naturally their valuations cannot be too high.
The most famous IMAX company is only 160 million US dollars, the digital field company is 90 million, and the Silicon Graphics company is 50 million, which adds up to exactly 300 million US dollars.
But in the next few companies, the value became higher again.
Kirin Computer, which has begun to cover large and medium-sized cities across the United States, has shipped more than 250,000 units since its official launch on May 1st, with sales reaching an astonishing US$750 million!
Although half of this is due to full reservations in advance, and it is also related to people's early adopter ideas in the early stages of opening, such a high turnover is real.
Moreover, Kirin Computer has a very good reputation. It uses the best hardware and is equipped with Microsoft's Windows system. There are not many minor problems and repairs are very timely. This is enough for users.
Nowadays, this kind of smart computer that is different from traditional typewriter computers has set off a trend of learning and using it all over the world. According to this trend, the development potential of Kirin Computer may not be as good as IBM, HP, and more that have decades of experience. Apple is strong, but the $3 billion valuation given to it by Morgan Stanley is very suitable.
There are two other companies that are also closely related to Kirin Computer.
In other words, companies related to future electronic network technology.
They are Kirin Network and Kirin Labs.
Kirin Network owns a patent for multi-protocol routers, and then spent a lot of money to purchase patents for network switches, optical fiber transmission, network transmission, etc. It spent at least 300 to 400 million US dollars.
Kirin Labs is the acquired Bell Labs. It directly changed its name and became the laboratory of Kirin Group.
Not only do they own their own 3****MA, optical fiber, network, communications and other patents, Yin Jun also specially injected many of the patents he purchased before into their company, further improving their strength.
Compared with Kirin Network, Kirin Labs, which was originally Bell Labs, has 1,300 engineers and other employees, so its scale is not ordinary.
Therefore, Kirin Network’s valuation is US$400 million, and Bell Labs’ valuation has reached US$600 million.
Yin Jun's investment in the United States is also quite large.
Microsoft's investment is what people call a "stroke of God".
In April 1982, Yin Jun bought 50% of Microsoft's shares for only 50 million U.S. dollars. Last October, Microsoft's valuation reached 500 million U.S. dollars. Now in May this year, the valuation has reached 800 million U.S. dollars.
In other words, in just two years, Yin Jun's 50 million has turned into 400 million, an increase of eight times!
The reason is not only the breakthrough desktop window system WIN 2.0 released by Microsoft in February last year, and the more advanced WIN 3.0 on January 1 this year, but also the crazy sales of Kirin computers, including sales to IBM and its own brand computers. All are equipped with a window system.
The more computers are installed, the more Microsoft's operating income will be, and its valuation will naturally rise sharply.
According to the calculations of Goldman Sachs in the United States, with the explosion of the computer industry, Microsoft is likely to IPO next year with a valuation of more than 2 billion U.S. dollars. If they can wait a few more years to reach 5 billion U.S. dollars, it is definitely not impossible!
In seven or eight years, this part of Microsoft's shares can skyrocket 100 times. Where can you find such investment vision?
Then Yin Jun also has a 40% stake in MTV, which has been very popular among young people in the past two years, worth about US$400 million.
Yin Jun also has a 20% stake in Nike, a popular sports equipment company in the United States, worth almost $500 million.
Adding up the three companies, Yin Jun’s investment valuation is US$1.3 billion.
Then Yin Jun's total assets in the United States are 14.1 billion US dollars.
All right.
Basically, at this point, Yin Jun's assets have been estimated clearly.
Adding Hong Kong, the Mainland, the United States and Australia, Yin Jun's assets are US$51.6 billion! !
Even if the $12.6 billion that Yin Jun owes to the bank is subtracted, the market value of Yin Jun's assets should be $39 billion! ! !
With such high assets, Mr. Huo and the chartering king combined could not exceed it!
And with a total of 39 billion US dollars in assets, how can the richest man in Hong Kong or the richest man in China be described?
If you don't count the big families who have dispersed their shares and are hiding behind the scenes, Yin Jun should be the richest man in the world, right?
right!
Yin Jun is the richest man in the world! !
After "Qilin Daily" analyzed this asset figure, it directly used "Our World's Richest Man" as its title!
