Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 346 Chain Reaction (Two in One)

"What? Son, are you the ten richest people in the country?"

"Mom, Hurun's rankings are all nonsense."

"What? You're worth $4.5 million?"

"Mom, Hu Run didn't even call me, it's nonsense."

"What? The Internet says you are the richest person in Shanghai?"

"...Mom, are you listening to me?"

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Fang Zhuo sat cross-legged on the sofa watching TV with great interest, and then saw his mother coming out with a notebook in her hands.

Zhao Shumei didn't know how to use a laptop at first, but later, in order to find out what kind of economic activities her son was doing, she learned to use a laptop to surf the Internet sensitively.

She pointed at the screen with one hand and asked, "How can such a large leaderboard be nonsense?"

Fang Zhuo nodded, and said in a serious manner: "Of course, how can I get 4.5 million US dollars? It's too little."

Sina’s stock price has been rising all the way, Yike’s products stand out from the two countries, and Medical Science can also work hard because of the development of its software business, which does not count the profit of the fund.

In terms of net worth alone, 4.5 million US dollars is unstoppable. Of course, most of them will not be realized.

Zhao Shumei was choked, and she was stunned for a while before she said: "I wrote less for you when I co-authored?"

"No, that's why I said he was lying." Fang Zhuo said seriously.

Zhao Shumei stared at her son in a daze, then turned around and shouted at her husband, younger brother, younger siblings, and niece to inform them of the news of the richest man's ranking.

For the next half day, Fang Zhuo's rare time watching TV was sacrificed.

A few people dangled their notebooks in front of their eyes, and without looking at other websites, they contributed clicks to Sina's news.

The ranking is the ninth in the country, but Sina.com took the lead in calling out the title of "Shencheng's richest man" for the boss.

How can the ninth man have the prestige of the richest man, not to mention, the city of Shencheng is also very famous.

"You are not only the richest man in Shencheng, but also the richest man in our county." Zhao Shumei was deeply moved.

"That's right, damn it, I'm obviously the rich man of the county." Fang Zhuo nodded again and again, and also pretended to be emotional.

Zhao Shumei stared at her son, amazed: "You don't look like the richest man?"

Fang Zhuo took a handful of beans and asked while pulling, "What should the richest man look like?"

The younger sister Zhao Suqi who was next to her said solemnly: "Surrounded by stars, cups of toasts are intertwined, hugging left and right, every day is full of opportunities."

"Is there something wrong with your thinking? Aunt, aunt, don't you educate Qiqi?" Fang Zhuo turned his head and called out.

Zhao Suqi hurriedly sought her aunt's support: "Aunt, do you think so?"

Zhao Shumei thought for two seconds, then nodded.

Isn't that what the real richest man should look like?
He doesn't look like a son, the appearance of him sitting on the edge of the sofa pulling beans really doesn't have much to do with a title like "the richest man".

"Qiqi, go to my bedroom and bring my mobile phone and laptop, and turn them on." Fang Zhuo had no choice but to hug him left and right, but he couldn't see it.

Soon, the turned on mobile phone and the notebook logged into QQ were placed on the table.

There is almost no gap, the mobile phone is "buzzing" and vibrating, and the notebook is the sound of chatting messages intensively.

Fang Zhuo turned off his phone when he got up in the morning, but he also knew that there must be both New Year greetings and congratulations in the news at this moment.

The rich list has a strange magic power for the current era. Those who go up may not want to go up, and those who are not selected may be disappointed.

As for the onlookers, some laughed, some envied, some entertained them by name, and some checked their taxes according to the list.

But it is undeniable that it can focus on the media and has a huge influence in China.

Hurun chose the release time this year quite thoughtfully, so that those who pay attention to this list will have a lot of talk during the Chinese New Year.

The Forbes China Rich List has a total of 100 people. The richest man in the country is Rong Zhijian with assets of 8.5 million US dollars, and the 0.84th finalist is Sun Shilin with assets of [-] million US dollars.

It just so happens that the core business of this whole business is real estate, which is the epitome of this list - most of them are real estate developers.

Fang Zhuo saw acquaintances on this list, such as Wu Zheng, a member of the board of directors of Sina, who made the list by virtue of Sunshine Culture, which was listed in Xiangjiang, and some people who knew their names and had never met, such as Cao Dewang at No. 95 and Li Shufu at No. 54.

In addition, Ding Lei and Zhang Chaoyang, who he thinks should be on the list, are not on the list.

Looking at the rankings, it turns out that there is only one person in charge of the Huaxia Portal website, and the IT industry has shown little performance at all.

This is somewhat dazzling.

Sure enough, the text messages Fang Zhuo received on his mobile phone included invitations from the media for interviews, and some of them listed interview outlines in order to show their sincerity. There were so few questions about the IT industry on the list.

This is not a small media, but people have such a reaction to today's Forbes list.

Fang Zhuo also understands that this has something to do with his being firmly optimistic about the Internet industry on the stage of CCTV programs twice, but what can he say?

Blame Ma Huateng for not working hard and earning your money well?
Thinking of this, he really saw Pony's congratulations in the New Year text message.

"The spring of the Internet has come, and the IT industry will bring more and more wealth. I am a little surprised that my name appears on this list, but more joy comes from the fact that I am almost certain that it will be the IT industry. It’s a sign of great ambitions. The Year of the Goat is auspicious, and I have time to teach you how to make money.”

Fang Zhuo edited a short message to reply to Pony Ma, then threw the phone to his sister, and said, "Qi Qi, you change the last sentence of my text message into blessings, and then reply to those Internet people who sent text messages."

This is not the first time Zhao Suqi has done this job. He is familiar with replying the Chinese New Year message from the president of Sina to domestic Internet speakers or executives.

"You didn't reply by yourself? Did you copy it?" Mother Zhao Shumei watched this scene, and she racked her brains not to repeat the words when she received the text message.

Fang Zhuo replied calmly: "The richest man is perfunctory like this."

Zhao Shumei: "..."

Soon, she felt more special about the richest man in the family.

"That's how the richest man doesn't make dumplings but just tastes."

"The richest man just sits upright and watches TV."

Only in the evening, Zhao Shumei's patience with the richest man in Shanghai was exhausted, and it was natural to reprimand him again, and she had the full confidence of "you are the richest man and I am the richest man's mother".

On New Year's Eve, the whole family was watching the Spring Festival Gala in the living room. Fang Zhuo's cell phone gradually became quiet after being bombarded by phone calls and text messages.

A while later, just after watching Zhao Benshan's sketch "Heart Disease", the leader Zheng Danrui, who had already paid New Year's greetings, called in.

"Mr. Fang, Happy New Year." Zheng Danrui asked directly, "I just saw Mr. Fang listed on Forbes today, congratulations."

Fang Zhuo also said a happy new year, but it was strange to hear such congratulations from a dignified deputy mayor. His thoughts turned quickly, and he said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that I would be listed on the Forbes list, but yes, the companies under my name either have figures on the market, or have disclosed their valuations through the media. It is clear and easy to calculate."

Zheng Danrui had to lament that Fang Zhuo on the other end of the phone was a smart man, and he responded too quickly to a sentence. The four words "clean and innocent" are very important.

He said "hmm" and asked more bluntly, "What about your company's financial and tax situation?"

"Absolutely normal." Fang Zhuo assured, "There is no tax evasion at all, and the tax refund for Yike's exported products is also completely normal. Our company has no intention of tampering with this."

Zheng Danrui calmed down a little, and warned: "Be careful, this list may not be all good things."

"Yes, thank you Brother Zheng for your concern. My company is absolutely fine." Fang Zhuo wondered if there was any rumor about this person, but even if he didn't, it was a good intention.

The current Forbes list is also jokingly called "Pig Killing List" or "Prisoner List". It is a bit like the "Biao Wang" of CCTV advertisements a few years ago. trial.

call ended.

Fang Zhuo thought about his behavior carefully, and confirmed that there is basically nothing wrong with it. Yi Ke and Medical Science are not afraid of investigation. The scope of the fund's operations so far is in foreign countries. Even when it comes to Anliang Chamber of Commerce, people have to be allowed to have financial management concepts what.

There was no other movement on New Year's Eve, the old year was bid farewell to the sound of firecrackers, and the family was arranged for a physical examination after the new year.

According to Fang's richest man, his medical group has a preferential cooperation with the hospital, and if he doesn't have a physical examination, the quota will be wasted...

Anyway, he strongly stated that the family medical examination will be reserved as an annual item in the future, and we must pay attention to physical health so that we can enjoy the wealth of the "richest man".

The parents complained a little, but the son agreed with a firm attitude.

"After all, I will live under the hands of the richest man in the future." Mother Zhao Shumei learned to use the word "richest man" to joke.

"Mom, if you have time, you can take the driver's license test. My dad gave you a jade bracelet during the Chinese New Year. I can give you a car." Fang Zhuo said.

"Let your dad drive it. He always brags about how good his truck technology is." Zhao Shumei smiled, "Now I have a chance to show off."

Fang Zhuo glanced at his father, thinking about adding another family car, Audi A6 is a good choice.

Or, since the parents are willing to come to Shanghai, can they buy real estate instead of renting it?

He chatted with his mother about the subject, in passing about home-price trends in the country, and, after his uncle and father joined the discussion, about the boom in the U.S. housing market.

By the time dinner was ready, the topic had changed to the current international situation, whether the US would use force against Iraq, and what would happen to the situation in the Gulf.

Father and uncle had their own opinions, and the debate was very fierce.

Fang Zhuo watched from the sidelines, and when asked, he just said that he didn't understand these things. Listening to the discussion was really "listening to what you have to say, just listen to what you have to say".

The end of the year is spent gradually getting used to and ridiculing the richest man, planning for the family's future, and discussing major national events.

……

In comparison, Xu Mingchang, another rich man, had a less comfortable New Year.

The reconstruction of the old city in Jing'an District of Shencheng has been completed, but the demolition work is not smooth, and it has caused some dissatisfaction from the administrative department.

This dissatisfaction deepened after a persistent complaint from residents years ago.

However, on the 29th of the new year, Xu Mingchang saw the 2002 Forbes Rich List. His assets have improved, but he still lags behind Fang Zhuo's No.9.

Xu Mingchang was very upset.

Immediately, something even more unpleasant happened to him. Fang Zhuo's Sina.com publicly shouted the words "Shencheng's richest man has changed hands".

Xu Mingchang thinks this kind of action is shameless. His title of "Shencheng's richest man" is obtained by buying a mansion in Xiangjiang that is comparable to the rich man Liu Luanxiong, operating and controlling listed companies, and spending money on different occasions.

Why can a website change owners with just a few words?
Just relying on Hurun's messy list?

Xu Mingchang had an unhappy New Year, and even wondered whether this Fang Zhuo, who had a strong sense of presence recently, had something to do with the renovation of the old city.

It may not be an immediate conflict of interest, and people may gain something by messing with themselves.

Xu Mingchang had acted like this towards others, so it was logical to have such doubts.

This mood lasted until when participating in a mahjong game, the poker players at the table chatted about the Forbes rankings and jokingly asked Xu Mingchang to try his best to catch up. His face suddenly changed, expressing real dissatisfaction.

Although the other people were not as rich as Xu Mingchang, they were also local figures with a reputation, and they choked on a few words, and they didn't lie down and be petty.

The game broke up badly.

Xu Mingchang was made even more annoyed by this matter.

He turned to be even more dissatisfied with the name, remembering the last time he was dissatisfied with the operation of this list. At that time, he revealed through the media that he had assets close to 150 billion Huaxia coins.

This time, Hurun obviously calculated the ranking based on the previous self-exposure, which is really the pheasant list.

Xu Mingchan was very dissatisfied and decided to leave like this.

However, Fu Hao didn't have a media company under his command, so he had to contact the media if he wanted to speak out, so he didn't let his subordinates do anything, and directly found the number of the editor-in-chief of Shencheng Media and called him.

"I'm Xu Mingchang."

"Hello, I want to break the news."

"No, it's not breaking the news, it should be a correction. There is something wrong with the estimation of the Forbes ranking by Hurun. You can give me the whole interview in a while."

"I want to talk about the significance of the transformation of the old city of Shanghai to urban development, and by the way, talk about the absurdity of Forbes's list."

Xu Mingchang also has his own considerations under the mood of the moment. The reconstruction of the old city in Jing'an District is highly valued by the higher-ups. Now it is stricter than the previous two years. He can consider another way to exert influence.

As a native of Shencheng, Xu Mingchang can grasp the local people's views on the city and wealth. He has always been good at shaping the public image. Using the title of "Shencheng's richest man" has gained a lot of practical benefits and convenience. .

In this way, Xu Mingchang, who is suspected to be the former richest man in Shanghai, invited a media to do an exclusive interview on February 2, focusing on the development of his own company, and also talking about how a Shanghai native turned upside down in Xiangjiang, and how he got along with those rich people in Xiangjiang. Talking and laughing.
