Chapter 1077 Coronation
It was past the rush hour, and there were not many people entering and leaving the Entrepreneurship Park. However, they all felt like they were walking on the red carpet, because both sides of the passage were full of reporters holding cameras.
"Are they all waiting to interview them?" Feng Yiping asked, looking at the many reporters waiting at the Entrepreneurship Park gate in front of him. "Haha, I'm very proud."
"Maybe not all of them," Wu Qian said.
Feng Yiping immediately understood what she meant. Seeing his car, the reporters became obviously agitated and excited. As soon as the Maybach drove out of the gate, the reporters rushed over in a crowd, and the flash lights flashed.
"Have you forgotten what happened today?" Wu Qian said, "The company received many interview applications, and we did not agree to them as usual,"
"Oh, it's this matter,"
Today, October 31, Forbes announced the 2003 Forbes China Rich List at the Capital Huabin International Building.
They naturally sent invitations to Jiasheng and Feng Yiping, hoping that they could come to the scene in person, but these invitations were undoubtedly shelved.
This year can be said to be the year with the most problems for the rich. There are more than 30 famous and promising rich people, some died, some fled, some collapsed, and some were arrested. How could Feng Yiping go to such a press conference?
It should also be mentioned that in the same month, a few days ago, another rich list was released. The publisher has a deep connection with Forbes. That is Hu Run, the former chief investigator of Forbes China, who brought the rich list to China for the first time.
Why are there two lists? This is also a matter of dog biting dog. Simply put, because of the problem of interests, Hu Run, who is now famous, parted ways with Forbes and went it alone. Forbes was not to be outdone and set up an office in Shanghai. For the first time, it relied on its own strength to independently produce this list.
Although there are some differences between the two lists, the first place on their lists is the same. Feng Yiping, who holds shares of three Nasdaq-listed companies, Yijia, Autonet, and Coin Star, and is also a major shareholder of Forex Group, Google, NEXTDOOR and other companies, ranks first on both lists with a net worth of US$3.68 billion, becoming the undisputed richest man.
3.6 times that of Ding Lei, who was squeezed to the second place by him, and higher than the total wealth of the six richest people from the second to the seventh place.
If the media called him the richest man before, it was a bit casual, then the announcement of this list today is to officially crown him.
Although everyone says that this list is not very reliable, Forbes, a world-renowned magazine, has compiled similar lists in Europe and the United States for many years. Among so many more unreliable rankings, it is still relatively reliable and credible.
The news that made Li Fangcheng want to vomit blood after reading it was this list.
"I don't know how they came up with such a number,"
No department of Forex agreed to their interview request, so they naturally couldn't see the relevant data within the group. The data of the three listed companies was fine, but for other unlisted companies, I don't know how these people calculated it.
This is also the point where similar lists are criticized. Even though Forbes repeatedly stated on the spot that it used the most advanced scientific calculation method, the same method they have been using abroad for so many years, the final value is very accurate.
"Besides, this is nothing new, isn't it?" Since the beginning of the year, when Auto.com went public after Yijia Express Hotel, everyone has put the title of the richest man on their heads, right?
But Feng Yiping still waved a few times out of the window with a very pleasant face.
The three people sitting in the business car behind the Maybach also thought that these reporters were interviewing them, and they were all prepared, brewing their most satisfied smiles, and checking each other's clothes. Who knew that these reporters were actually coming for Feng Yiping!
Sure enough, he is the more attractive star.
"Haha, are we like peacocks spreading their tails?" The long-legged man said to his two companions with a smile.
It's not all self-indulgent. The reporters failed to stop Feng Yiping. Some of them went home, while some still interviewed them. Perhaps they didn't want to return empty-handed. Moreover, many of the questions they asked were not about them or the show, but about Feng Yiping.
They were all a little helpless. Their boss stole the limelight. Who should they go to for justice?
…………
The release of such a list still caused a small wave of enthusiasm in China. Most people just watched the excitement. Some people with analytical ability saw the potential of the high-tech industry from this list, and thus set their future struggle direction in this area.
There are also some people who are not convinced, shouting everywhere that in fact, their wealth is more than many people on the list.
It's so funny. Many people on the list don't want to be on the list and don't want to attract too much attention, but many people below the list are eager to be on the list. They are looking forward to attracting more attention.
No matter what, no one is arrogant enough to challenge Feng Yiping's position as the richest man, so Feng Yiping is still the one who receives the most attention.
According to the exchange rate of RMB to USD at 8.2 at that time, his net worth has exceeded 30 billion RMB. The so-called "young rich" in China are nothing in front of him.
There are another wave of articles about his experience in various media, but because it has been hyped twice at the beginning and middle of the year, many media have focused their reports on his series of business operations in the United States in the past few months.
In short, in 2003, Feng Yiping was really popular from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
In the provincial capital, Liu Jizhong calculated how much 3.68 billion US dollars is in RMB, and quietly put the newspaper at the bottom of the drawer.
In Hong Kong, the rich people who came into contact with the Forbes Rich List earlier than the mainland also paid attention to this information. Unlike Feng Yiping, their wealth has shrunk to varying degrees since this year. Feng Yiping, who has made rapid progress, has begun to put pressure on some people.
As soon as he was on the list, he entered the billionaire club, and as soon as he was on the list, he entered the top 100 of the global rich list. As soon as he was on the list, he was on par with the old Hong Kong and Taiwan families of Li Zhaoji and Cai Wanlin, becoming the 9th richest man in Asia...
The key is that he is still so young! The once brilliant little superman also pales in front of him.
Another point is that these rich people who may know the situation in the mainland better than Forbes and Hurun know better that Feng Yiping's wealth is definitely still greatly underestimated.
They don't need any investigation, just one piece of news is enough, that is, the news that ICBC agreed to lend money to Feng Yiping not long ago.
Given the prudence and conservatism of mainland banks, ICBC was able to agree to lend Feng Yiping a huge loan of 2 billion US dollars in such a short time. Based on this, we can roughly estimate Feng Yiping's wealth.
Some Hong Kong media have been comparing the wealth of Feng Yiping and Li Fuhao, who has been the richest Chinese for many years. Li Fuhao's net worth this year is 7.8 billion US dollars, and Feng Yiping's wealth is less than half of his. However, Google's listing process has officially begun. Everyone estimates that after the successful listing, its market value should be more than 20 billion US dollars, and Feng Yiping has 10% of Google's shares.
That is to say, once Google goes public next year, Feng Yiping's net worth will jump up again.
At the same time, it is said that a well-known large company has already offered to acquire his other website NEXTDOOR in the United States for 1.5 billion US dollars, but he is unmoved.
According to this calculation, if it goes public in the future, even if the price-earnings ratio is 10 times, the market value will not be less than 10 billion US dollars...
With this analysis, in the next few years, wouldn't Li Chaoren's position as the richest Chinese be in jeopardy? The replacement is still a young man who is more than 50 years younger than him and more than a generation younger than his youngest son.
I heard that someone has been giving advice to Li Chaoren, who is mainly engaged in traditional industries such as real estate, on how to keep his position as the richest Chinese.
…………
The next morning, at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, the relevant people who arrived one after another found that the young boss who was waiting there seemed to be in a good mood, hugging his young driver's shoulders and chatting and laughing.
Only Wu Qian knew why Feng Yiping was so happy.
The 94th Canton Fair has ended. As Feng Yiping expected, the transaction volume of this Canton Fair really exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and the final transaction volume was 20.67 billion.
Among them, Forex signed a total of 180 million US dollars in orders, which was a real bumper harvest. This is why Feng Yiping is so happy now.
"Today, we won't take the cable car, but rely on a pair of legs to go up and down. Do you have confidence?" Feng Yiping asked everyone with a smile.
"No problem," the answer was loud.
Youth is also a major feature of Jiasheng. Not only the boss is young, but also the employees and supervisors are young. Even middle-aged uncles like Zhou Xinyu are rare.
"Do you want to compete?" Sister Zhang, who was also behind, came over and asked, and Wu Qian immediately curled her lips.
"I don't want to bully the weak," Feng Yiping shook his head, and then he was stunned.
The long legs took off the beige windbreaker outside, and only wore a thin gray sweater on it. The point is that he really wore a pair of black leather pants underneath, and it was tight.
This is not because of what I said unintentionally yesterday, it must not be!
Feng Yiping turned his eyes away a little unnaturally, well, he didn't want others to see him swallowing his saliva.
And, dear, this is a good mountain climbing! Is it really okay to dress like this?
ps: I have created a group, 454, 231, 228, welcome everyone to come, give more valuable suggestions, and look forward to the opportunity to communicate with everyone!
