Chapter 702 The Heaviness of the Crown
What is it like to be the world's richest man?
To be honest, Su Rui didn't feel much, at least in terms of material life, he had already lost the space to continue to move up.
Compared with when he was worth only a few billion dollars, his pace of life and enjoyment were still the same. On the contrary, because he had too many high-quality assets in his hands, the pressure was a little greater.
There was no change in material life.
As Su Rui ascended to the throne of the world's richest man, his social status and influence broke through.
When the news of his becoming the world's richest man spread, many official institutions expressed congratulations. Some media in the mainland said that it had been a century since the last time a Chinese became the world's richest man.
In 2001, the Asian Wall Street Journal once counted a list of "the 50 richest people in the world in 1000 years", among which the recognized Chinese world's richest people were only Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Liu Jin, Heshen and Wu Bingjian, the richest man in the Qing Dynasty.
As for the other Chinese world's richest man in 1940, he was omitted in this report because no consensus was reached.
Washington also publicly congratulated and invited Suri to visit.
Although it was a bit of a show, he finally had no reason to continue to shirk this time. He could take the opportunity to talk about business and settle some small troubles.
For example, on the issue of cryptocurrency, Mark Zuckerberg is about to face a hearing. As a partner, Suri needs to help.
There are also institutions that often harass executives of companies such as TikTok and Tweet, trying to insert backdoors in the database. Suri does not want to lose the trust of users because of them.
In order to avoid the limelight.
In the following days, Suri deliberately kept a low profile.
He only posted on multiple social platforms to thank everyone for their support. At the same time, he also stated that he would devote himself to environmental protection, technological development, charity and other causes. At the same time, he announced that he was preparing for "Ex-Files 2" and planned to arrange a global tour.
No one helped to take the blame, and his grand business map was fully exposed by the media this time.
While letting people feel how powerful he is, it is also easy to attract the anger of the rich because of the gap between the rich and the poor.
Under almost every news, someone said that he spent 1 billion US dollars on yachts and private jets, while some people can only live in tents on the street and work three jobs a day to make a living.
Although there are many netizens who like Suri, the number of likes on these anti-rich posts is also very high.
Soon, it also attracted "habitual offenders of rich people's attacks". A group of lunatics tried to express their dissatisfaction with the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor by throwing paint on the headquarters of Caishen Capital.
This made him feel like sitting on the "Iron Throne". Although it was extremely dazzling, it was cold and piercing, which largely diluted his pleasure of turning his dream into reality in advance.
In his early years, Bill Gates became the world's richest man and had a cake smashed in public. It has always been easy to make a fuss about negative news about him, and he had to try his best to package himself as a great philanthropist to reduce the hostility of society towards him.
Suri, who is at the center of the storm, now personally experienced the heaviness of the crown.
Even though he has been living in seclusion, the media has uncovered many issues, such as the negative impact of TikTok on teenagers, Netflix's disruption of Hollywood order, and how much the Airbus A380 and super yachts pollute the environment.
If Suri hadn't started preparing in advance and won over a group of allies by cutting flesh and bleeding, the storm might have been ten times bigger than it is now.
Although there are many discussions online, at least there are no strong enemies who are taking advantage of the situation, mainly because they understand that they can't take the opportunity to bring down Suri and are too lazy to waste time.
Fortunately.
At the end of February, no one continued to discuss related topics, and he, the new world's richest man, was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Unlike Suri.
Seeing their men become the world's richest man, both Daddario and Gu Meina were very excited.
The same is true for Miss Sun Ye, who had just met not long ago. Even if the two could only walk with the help of the wall on the day of the celebration, it did not affect her joyful mood.
Some time ago, actresses such as Da Tiantian and Yang Xiaomi, who had met in the mainland, sent messages on WeChat to congratulate her, and continued to chat with Su Rui online for a few days.
Take this morning for example.
Da Tiantian was angry because a paparazzi squatted and took pictures of her legs. Su Rui joked that she wanted to see it too. The other party really took a black stockings photo and sent it to her, and mentioned that she wanted to go to Lanai for a vacation when she had time.
This behavior is enough to explain many problems.
Unfortunately, Da Tiantian is still filming in the crew of "Monster Hunt" recently, and she can't spare time to meet for a while.
The morning of the day when I received her photo.
Su Rui was lying at home, flipping through a few physical novels that were said to be suitable for adaptation, and suddenly received a call from her next-door neighbor Jessica.
On the phone, Jessica said to him:
"I think our relationship should be over. My daughter saw our old gossip on the Internet and asked me if you were her new daddy because she often saw you at home."
"For her sake, I could only make up an excuse and say that I was discussing the script with you."
"It just so happens that I met a few good men recently. I want to start over and try to get to know them."
When the two first met, Suri was passionate about this underground relationship.
After meeting dozens of times one after another, the novelty has slowly faded away. Since she knew there would be no result, Jessica Alba chose to separate, which is a reasonable decision.
To say that I can't bear to part with it, it's more or less.
But since Suri chose his current lifestyle, he is destined to face this situation constantly. He paused for a few seconds and only said:
"Congratulations, you finally let go of the past and start again. Recently, there have been many new changes around me, which often make me feel very annoyed. It may take some time to adapt. Since you have chosen to separate, how about meeting again, even if it is just for the past two or three years? A wonderful ending to the wonderful memories.”
Jessica smiled on the other end of the phone:
"I think it's better to say goodbye, so that you can remember me. You are an excellent lover, but I doubt that anyone can really get into your heart."
Su Rui thought for a moment and seemed unable to answer this question, then smiled and said:
"You are also a perfect lover. Your personal relationship can end, but if you need to be invited to film, please don't worry too much."
"Of course, you are the only one who dares to invite me, a box-office poisoner like me."
After Jessica laughed at herself, she chatted with Suri for a few words before hanging up the phone. The relationship between the two parties was very pure, which made the breakup easy.
I am not in the mood to continue reading.
Su Rui waved over the big orange, hugged it and basked in the sun together. While he closed his eyes to rest, he sorted out the recent trivial matters in his mind, and clearly realized that his life was at a crossroads.
This suddenly gave him the idea that he should go back to Lanai and settle down for a while.
After all, island life is quiet, peaceful and boring.
Every time he went to Lanai to stay for ten days and a half, his interest in life always rekindled and he couldn't wait to return to Hollywood. (End of this chapter)
