Chapter 1481: The Richest Man in the World

12 o'clock noon.

Because it is in April, the United States has started daylight saving time, and the time difference between China and the United States has returned to 12 hours.

At this moment, it happens to be 0:00 am on April 12th in the United States.

Perhaps knowing that in the far east, countless people are paying attention to the release of their list, Forbes Group chose to release the real-time rich list online in the early hours of the morning.

At this time, it is still daytime in the east, and there will definitely be many people paying attention.

Whether it can open up the eastern market, this real-time list may be the best opportunity.

It can be seen that the eastern market has received more and more attention.

This is so far the first authoritative statistical agency to publish a real-time wealth statistics list on the Internet.

Forbes released a real-time list, which is also a proof of its strength.

Fortunately, the head of the listed company said that it is very difficult for some unlisted companies to make real-time statistics of their wealth.

Although there is no need for too specific numbers, the gap should not be too large.

This time, in order to count the wealth of some rich people, Forbes contributed money and effort, and sent a large number of employees to all over the world to do intelligence collection work.

Even on the far side, although Li Dong himself did not accept the other party's interview, some executives did.

When 12 o'clock came, a computer interface appeared on the big screen in the conference room.

While skillfully inputting the address of Forbes' website, Bai Su explained: "The other party will first announce the list on their own website, and then update it on the Internet..."

Seeing her clear look, everyone laughed a little bit in their hearts.

Why does Bai Su care about this?

If Li Dong didn't care, would she, Li Dong's secretary, understand so well?

No one interrupted, and everyone was staring at the big screen intently.

Although Li Dong said that it doesn't matter how much wealth he has or whether he is number one, and no one else will give him a dime.

But is reputation really worthless?

Once Li Dong becomes the richest man in the world, his reputation is money!

The industry owned by the richest man in the world may be priced at a premium because of this reputation.

For a large group like Yuanfang, a slight premium may be a gap of billions or tens of billions.

This is related to financing, listing, including loan issues!

It will even affect the issue of entering the world from afar!

Once Li Dong becomes the richest man in the world, his properties will definitely be treated differently when they enter the rest of the world.

Just once, even just this once, for this day, everything is enough!

Even if Li Dong became the richest man in the world for only one day, it would be an effect that even a billion-dollar advertising campaign would not be able to buy from afar.

Even if he became the former richest man in the world, as an entrepreneur who once reached the top, he will be remembered by the world.

Now Yuanfang Weibo is about to go public, and some t industries in Yuanfang are also facing financing or listing situations. Everyone is extremely eager. At this moment, Li Dong can reach the top!

Just one day, one day is enough!

As Bai Su refreshed the page, Yuan Chengdao swallowed his throat and said a little nervously: "Since Microsoft announced the layoff plan in January, the stock price plummeted and has not recovered so far. Mr. Bill Gates' wealth should not increase."

"The global economy has not yet recovered, stock markets around the world are still depressed, and Buffett's wealth will not grow."

“Mexico’s telecommunications magnate Carlos Slim Helu could see a rise in wealth as he further monopolizes the telecommunications business…”

Several executives paid close attention to these world business giants.

Last month, according to the statistics of wealth in 2008, Li Dong ranked fifth in the world, with a wealth of 22 billion US dollars.

The distance from No. 4 is not big, and the gap is hundreds of millions of dollars.

And the distance from the top 3, the gap is relatively large.

The Carlos Slim Helu family, which was ranked No. 3 at the time, had a wealth of 35 billion US dollars!

With such a big gap, within a few months,

Can Li Dong really overtake?

This time, the real-time list was released, that is, the statistics reached April 2009, three months more, can Li Dong's personal wealth increase by tens of billions of dollars?

Although, over the past few months, there have been many movements in the distance.

Guomei was acquired, Weibo completed financing, and even judging from the data alone, Weibo has become the social networking site with the largest number of users in the world.

In addition, the mall has also achieved a leap forward, Vancard's market share has increased again, Yuanfang Airlines has been established, and Huaxia's real estate industry has recovered...

This series of changes all took place within these 3 months.

However, all of this does not mean that Li Dong's wealth will increase by hundreds of billions of RMB.

The key still lies in the valuation of Yuanfang's t industry by the outside world, especially some professional institutions.

Once the valuation in this area is too low, it is extremely unlikely that Li Dong will reach the top.

Before other businesses choose financing, these things are actually difficult to value. At most, they will be recognized by other institutions on Weibo.

After financing, the valuation of the industry will generally be clear. If not, Zuckerberg would not have been on the Forbes list before.

As everyone's words fell, suddenly, there was a burst of exhalation in the conference room.

Li Dong, on the other hand, stared at the computer screen for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "What is ttnap;nbp;? Has it become a semi-official name?"

After all, Li Dong stood up, stopped looking at the screen, and said as he walked: "Continue to tell Forbes, what a broken website, the name is wrong!"

After leaving these words, Li Dong left the conference room.

As soon as he left, the others all showed smiles, Yuan Chengdao took a few deep breaths, and after a while he cheered up and said: "Immediately publicize on a large scale and start building momentum!

In terms of Weibo, we began to discuss the issue of entry with other countries and regions that have not entered.

World 's richest man!

The world's richest man's company, what reason do they have to refuse! "

As soon as "The Richest Man in the World" came out, everyone else was also very excited. Liu Hong immediately answered, "It should have been reprinted on the domestic website now, and I will immediately let people expand the topic. Five years, we spent five years, A miracle has been created!"

"Yes, miracle!"

"He was a legend!"

"41 billion U.S. dollars, more than 270 billion yuan, how did you do it, and which institutions do Forbes' statistics come from?"

"It doesn't matter which institutions, we don't need to know about these, as Mr. Li said at the moment, these have nothing to do with us!

The only thing related to us is the richest man in the world, who comes from afar! "

Yuan Chengdao excitedly said: "Remember, it's far away!

This is not Mr. Li's personal achievement, it is from afar. When promoting it, we should focus on the promotion of Yuanfang Group. I don't think Mr. Li will mind.

Individual achievements are far from being able to replace group achievements.

For the benefit of the group, you have to make a complete plan and do it quickly. Weibo is about to go public, and other industries are also facing financing or other breakthroughs. Now, we need to expand our reputation and expand our popularity!

Especially in May, we may face a strong competitor. At this time, any breakthrough in any aspect means that we are one step closer to victory! "

Everyone nodded one after another, and everyone's face was full of joy!

Regardless of how this statistic came about, Li Dong's ascent to the top is the greatest victory!

...

at the same time.

The list was also announced on some domestic stations and platforms.

The moment everyone saw the list, even if they were looking forward to it, many people were shocked to see that the name ttnap;nbp; was at the top of the list!

First, ttnap;nbp;, 41 billion US dollars!

Second, Bill Gates, $40.9 billion!

Third, Carlos Slim Helu, $39 billion.

Fourth, Buffett, with $38.8 billion.

...

Compared with the previous ranking in 2008, this time the wealth of the rich has increased slightly.

The Mexican telecommunications giant, currently ranked No. 3, has not seen a low increase. Compared with before, its personal wealth has increased by 4 billion US dollars.

However, who should be compared with!

Li Dong, in 3 months, his personal wealth has increased by 19 billion US dollars!

Even with the recent lowest exchange rate of 6.6, that means Li Dong's personal wealth has increased by more than 125 billion yuan!

Silence for a while!

It took a long time before someone frantically posted: "It's fake, it's definitely a fake!

Forbes, admit defeat to Brother Pao! "

"Sure, how could it be such a coincidence, it just happens to be 100 million dollars more than Gates, the data is not fake, I will cut my head off!"

"3 months, even if you add these 12 days, it's only 100 days, 100 days, an increase of 125 billion, 1.25 billion per day, oh my god, crazy, is the money in this world worthless?"

"How did this wealth statistic come about? Don't you just let Brother Pao say what you want? If he says more than 40 billion, Forbes will give you more than 40 billion US dollars. How shameless?"

"That's right, Yuanfang is not on the market, and Forbes is messing around!"

"..."

There were countless questions on the Internet for a while, not to say that they couldn't see Li Dong ascending the throne of the world's richest man.

But the world's richest man came too suddenly!

Everyone was unprepared. Although everyone was looking forward to it before, Li Dong could slap his face and climb to the top.

However, it is just expectation. Most people actually think that it is impossible for Li Dong to reach the top, and it is even difficult for him to be in the top three.

But now, Li Dong has really reached the top!

To everyone, this was subversive and unbelievable.

And it just happened to be only 100 million US dollars more than Gates, which has to make people wonder whether Li Dong and Forbes have reached an agreement, and the two sides have insider trading.

This possibility, in the eyes of outsiders, is not impossible.

Of course, not everyone is skeptical.

There were also people who were happy for Li Dong, cheering and saying: "Brother Pao is mighty, he has become the richest man in the world, the first richest man in history, amazing!"

"41 billion US dollars, it hasn't been listed yet, if it goes on the market..."

Many people dare not count on it anymore. If it breaks out after the listing, it will be fine!

Of course, there are still some people who are full of bewilderment, posting and asking: "Who is ttnap;nbp;?"

For these questions, everyone is disdainful to answer, and a burst of ridicule is inevitable.

You don't even know the famous Li Taitan, you've been online for so long!

What's more, everyone is saying that Brother Pao has become the richest man in the world, and asking this question makes him appear ignorant!

...

Ordinary people either question it, or just join in the fun and say a few words.

However, for some other people, when they saw that Li Dongzhen became the world's richest man, they felt a little bit of emotion at the same time, and they always felt that Li Dong was not only for the position of the world's richest man.

Becoming the richest man in the world, sometimes, may not be a good thing.

...

the capital.

Lenovo.

Holding the phone, Liu Chuanzhi sighed softly: "He has become the richest man in the world, but he won't last long.

In fact, this time, on the one hand, Forbes compromised, and on the other hand, he overdrawn the potential of the distant place.

The various industries in Yuanfang have been overestimated a lot. In this way, although Yuanfang has reached its peak in a short period of time, in fact, there are advantages and disadvantages.

In the later period, due to the high valuation of some industries financing in the distant place, it is very likely that no one cares about it, or the valuation is lower than expected.

This is the potential behind the overdraft, creating momentum for him to reach the top.

I think Li Dong himself understands this truth.

But he acquiesced, and judging from his actions, he may even have reached a tacit understanding with Forbes. Maybe, he will make some moves next.

The goal, is it to dig treasure? "

Liu Chuanzhi's last sentence was full of doubts.

This time the list was announced, Li Dong's fame in China and all over the world has reached its peak.

According to his thinking, although Li Dong cares a little bit about these things, if he really cares much, that's not necessarily true.

Everything he does must be beneficial to him.

According to Li Dong's current achievements, it will be a matter of time before he reaches the top of the world's richest man. In fact, there is no need to be so anxious, and it is okay to take it slow.

Especially this time, it really overdraws the potential of some distant places.

Sometimes, it is not true that the higher the property valuation, the better.

If it is too high, it will be like a bubble, which will burst with a poke.

Li Dong has come to the present, and he will not fail to understand this truth. He has settled down for a year and a half, and reached the top in 10 years. At present, it seems to be the best choice.

However, Li Dong chose now!

If the lawsuit against Forbes was for publicity, but when Forbes really listed Li Dong as the richest man in the world, it was not as simple as publicity.

It is very likely that Li Dong wants to take the opportunity to achieve some purpose, and he may not have communicated with Forbes in private.

And Forbes may also want to use this controversy to push the reputation of Forbes magazine to the peak and affect the Eastern world.

Li Dong topped the list, only $100 million higher than Gates, which is debatable.

If Forbes doesn't want to cause controversy, there is almost no problem with adding a few hundred million dollars to these rich people.

Liuqin on the other side of the phone asked curiously: "Could it be that he really wants to take this opportunity to create momentum and suppress the living space of Treasure? So, there must be a big battle between the two sides?

But now Yuanfang Wanjia is not online yet, and there is a big gap with Dibao. If it is evenly matched, it is reasonable for him to do so, but there is obviously a gap. Just overwhelming the opponent in terms of fame is not the real strength of Yuanfang. The gap is not what these can affect. "

Liuqin is not a rookie who doesn't know anything. If it is said that the strength of Yuanfang Wanjia is comparable to that of Dibao.

Then Li Dong becoming the richest man in the world may become the last straw that overwhelms Dibao.

After all, Li Dong's reputation is too great, which will make users have a psychological tendency to choose a more famous place and give up digging treasures. This is all possible.

But the strength of both sides is here, even if Wanjia goes online, it is far from being the opponent of Treasure.

At this time, it was almost impossible for Li Dong to rely on this to turn the situation around.

So Liuqin had some doubts about his father's words. If Li Dong did this, the advantages would not necessarily outweigh the disadvantages, and there might be some disadvantages in the later stage.

Wealth has stopped growing for a long time. For young entrepreneurs like Li Dong who are in a period of rapid growth, once their wealth stops growing or even declines, it may cause a chain effect.

Some investors, including some people, may question Li Dong's ability and strength, and think that he is exhausted. This is a fact with a big concept.

Liu Chuanzhi also agreed with his daughter's words: "You are right, so I am actually a little confused.

Li Dong is not stupid, and no one will take him for a fool.

Or maybe he was tricked by Forbes this time and got revenge.

Or...he has another goal! "

When talking about other goals, Liu Chuanzhi frowned slightly. Could it be that Li Dong's goal is not to collect treasures?

Evenly matched, evenly matched... Such an enterprise or industry may be Li Dong's goal.

If not, Li Dong would not do these meaningless things, most likely because he wanted to use this opportunity to expand his influence again.

When the two companies are of similar size and strength, at this time, Li Dong's fame will bring him more than expected gains.

"Bailian...Su Lin...Ali...Shunfeng...Teng Xun!"

Liu Chuanzhi muttered a few words softly, his eyes flickering constantly, he was evenly matched, and he relied on his fame to expand his advantage.

Who is it?

Industry or Internet?

For a while, Liu Chuanzhi was a little distracted.

...

After all, Liu Chuanzhi is one of the giants in the business world. What he feels faintly does not mean that everyone can feel it.

Most people are still immersed in the shock of Li Dong's summit.

On the Internet and in reality, almost everyone is discussing Li Dong becoming the richest man in the world.

Very few people will analyze why Li Dong reached the top?

His becoming the world's richest man, in the eyes of most people, is a good thing for Li Dong, no one would have thought that becoming the world's richest man would also have disadvantages.

However, some business giants standing at the top of the world, when they saw this list, they either laughed or thought about it.

It seems that this oriental business tycoon has made another move.

This time it has created such a big momentum, but it may not be really a good thing.

I didn't look at some investment banks, and now they have lowered their expectations for distant industries.

Judging from the current data, investing in a distant place sounds good, but in fact, if Li Dongzhen lures them in according to the valuation of these industries, the rate of return in the later period may not satisfy them.

Instead, it is better to invest in some lesser-known companies.

The investment bank has lowered the expected value. This is not a good thing for Li Dong, who has always been popular. From this point of view, his reputation as the world's richest man may not be more cost-effective than these things.

It is impossible for Yuanfang not to raise funds all the time, nor is it possible not to go public all the time.

At this time, investment institutions lose their interest in investing. No matter how high the valuation is, it may only be a valuation.

...

Shenzhen.

Ma Huateng tapped on the table lightly, his pupils shrank after a while, and he said slowly: "WeChat, is it really your trump card?"

For a moment, Ma Huateng fell into deep thought. What exactly did Li Dong want to do after tossing around for so long?

Last time he sued Forbes at the press conference, telling himself that it was for publicity, but his goal has already been achieved!

The richest man in the world, do you really value it that much?
