MTL - Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981-Chapter 969 World 's richest man

   Chapter 969 The richest man in the world

  After eating

   Leslie Cheung left with Mei Yanfang

   Deng Lijun and Zhou Huimin's rooms were arranged on the same floor as Yang Chen.

   "Amin, what are you looking at?"

   Yang Chen saw Zhou Huimin's excited look, and couldn't help walking to her side out of curiosity.

   Zhou Huimin waved the Forbes magazine in his hand and said happily, "Brother Chen, you have become the richest man in the world."

  Although Zhou Huimin is very clear that the numbers on the Forbes Rich List are not the real wealth that Yang Chen possesses, but the worth of nearly 100 billion US dollars still makes Zhou Hui very sensitive to shock.

   Seeing the undisguised admiration in the eyes of Goddess Zhou, Yang Chen suddenly felt that it would be good to be the richest man in the world.

  To say, people are cheap sometimes.

  What you can't get, want.

  I got it, but I don't feel much.

   It seems that at the very beginning, Yang Chen thought that one day he would sit in the position of the richest man in the Chinese, with beautiful scenery, but when he really sat up, he was not interested.

   Even the richest man in Asia and the richest man in the world also makes him uninterested.

   Seeing that Yang Chen didn't say anything, Zhou Huimin tilted her head and asked, "Brother Chen, are you unhappy?"

  Yang Chen sat next to her and said, "There's nothing to be happy about. Although your brother Chen is rich, he is not necessarily the richest man. There are many low-key families in the world, and they are not interested in this."

   "Brother Bichen, do you have any money?" Zhou Huimin asked with wide eyes.

Yang Chen thought for a while, then said: "This is not clear, if it is based on personal wealth, your brother Chen and I may really be the richest man in the world, but when it comes to family wealth, Yang's consortium still has a long way to go. Walk."

  Since 1982, Forbes has come up with a rich list, Forbes magazine has received a lot of attention every year in the past few years.

In addition to the omission of Yang Chen by Forbes Magazine in the first year, Yang Chen jumped from the position of the richest man in China to the richest man in Asia in the second and third years. With the signing of the Plaza Agreement, the yen appreciated, and the market value of Yang Chen's game companies rose wildly. Together with some of the listed companies he has invested in, Forbes this year directly transferred him from the position of Asia's richest man to the world's richest man.

  Yang Chen glanced at the Forbes magazine in Zhou Huimin's hand, there was no joy or joy on his face because of the words "the richest man in the world", but the second and third places above attracted his attention.

  The Forbes Rich List is too watery, they can only collect the market value of listed companies, and the companies that are not listed and the invisible real estate of the rich are not counted.

As for the reason, in addition to the difficult estimation, the other is because the release of the Forbes Rich List requires the opinions of the rich people on the list. That is to say, even if Forbes magazine finds out the specific wealth of the rich people, if the rich people are unwilling to publish it, Then Forbes Magazine can't publish it.

   No matter how influential a magazine is, it doesn’t dare to offend the rich like Yang Chen. The wealth collected on the Forbes Rich List is an industry that Yang Chen has made a lot of noise in the past few years and cannot hide it.

For example, some buildings in Tokyo are under the banner of Landmark. After the media reporters on the island country have dug deeply, many of them have been exposed. The published data is also not concealed.

   This is also the reason why he has been keeping a low profile, and this year he is still the richest man in Forbes. After Forbes magazine asked him for his opinion, Yang Chen was worth more than 90 billion US dollars and became the richest man on the Forbes Rich List.

   The worth of nearly 100 billion US dollars did not make him far away from the second place. The second place on the Forbes Rich List is the island's richest man, Yoshiaki Tetsuya, the famous real estate king.

   After the appreciation of the yen, the real estate and stock market prices of the island country soared, and the value of this person increased sharply. With a difference of several billions of Yang Chen's worth, he took the second place.

   Tsutsumi Yoshiaki was born in 1934. His family purchased one-sixth of the land in the island country in 20 years (most of them are not in the first line). After the appreciation of the yen, the other party directly won the position of the richest man in the island country.

  According to the history of the previous life, the other party should be the richest man in the world this year, and he won the title for four consecutive terms until the real estate bubble in the island country burst.

   This big man reached the peak together with the real estate of the island country a few years later, and became the richest man with a net worth of more than 160 billion. This record has not been broken until decades later.

   However, everything that flourishes will fail.

As the island nation's economic bubble burst and the island nation's economy fell into a slump, Yoshiaki Ti also gradually declined from the glory of the world's richest man. By 2004, his wealth had shrunk from $160 billion to $3 billion. After the Forbes ranking of the world's richest people dropped from the first to one hundred, it has since faded out of people's field of vision.

   From this point, it is not difficult to see how much the island country has suffered after the housing bubble.

  Thinking of this, Yang Chen decided to say goodbye to the island market from next year, and then waved his banknotes to Europe and the United States to start a series of mergers and acquisitions, so that he could truly sit in the position of an international conglomerate.

   However, technology needs to be developed, and food needs to be eaten.

   In later generations, Li Chaoren liked to invest in the civilian production industry, and was criticized by many people. He said that apart from buying and selling, he did not have a product that sold well in the world, and all he did was speculative business.

   Yang Chen thought so at first

   But gradually, he changed his mind.

  Because he understood, the other party's saying 'hard work can't make money, you can only support your family. 'if.

   Indeed, the manufacturing industry cannot make a lot of money, but can only support the family.

   Even in high-end manufacturing, regardless of how expensive it is to sell, it is considered very profitable. The research and development costs involved in high-end manufacturing are unimaginable. The greater the benefit, the higher the cost.

  When European and American countries entered the ranks of developed countries, they began to de-industrialize. The reason is that manufacturing is not profitable, even if it becomes a world factory.

  Look at Walmart in the future. It has been rising every day for decades, while technology companies have been rising and falling, and there are very few companies that can maintain growth for ten years without failing.

  Companies like Walmart dare to say that they can be a century-old company, but neither can technology companies, nor can manufacturing companies, because sometimes they make a mistake, and it is possible for a company that is at its peak to fall into the abyss.

   Therefore, the next step is to invest in people's livelihood industries, and these industries are also very suitable for hiding wealth.

   As for technology manufacturing, he will naturally not let it go.

  Introducing the development and progress of the times, this is a must.

  Otherwise, he will become Li Chaoren's second in the future, first being held in high esteem by others, and then being boycotted by the group.

   This is not what he wants to see. . . .

   However, in this way, I am afraid that we will be wronged by our Bill Gates, the richest man in the world. I am afraid that I will say goodbye to him completely in this life. . .
