The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 221 The richest man in the world
Just came downstairs to the restaurant to have breakfast, and Chen Yulian, who was sitting here reading the newspaper, said with a smile, "Jianhui, you have become the richest man in the world, and now you are the richest person in the world."

After taking the Xiangjiang Economic News from Chen Yulian's hand, he was the headline on the front page, and the headline of Li Jianhui, the world's richest man, was extremely eye-catching.

After reading the specific reports in it, Li Jianhui realized that this time the ranking was not made by any tabloid, but by Forbes magazine in the United States.

This is also the first time that Forbes has made such a list, and it only ranks the top [-] in the world.

Li Jianhui ranks first with personal assets of about 55 billion US dollars, and the second is not an American, but Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the controller of Seibu Group in Japan, with personal assets of 52 billion US dollars.

On the Forbes rich list, his country finally saved a little face. The third place finally ranked a person from his own country, Robert Galvin, as the controller of Motorola, his personal assets reached 45 billion US dollars.

The fourth place is Japan's Morishiro Yoshiro, the controller of Mori Building Co., Ltd., with a personal asset of 44.5 billion US dollars.

In Xiangjiang, apart from Li Jianhui being on the list, Kadoorie, Sun Hung Kai Three Musketeers, Li Chaoren, and Chen Zengxi are also on the world list.

As for Chartered Ship King, Li Guobao, Lei Juekun, etc., because their shares are mainly in family funds, they are not considered personal assets, so they are not on the list.

Li Jianhui remembers that the Forbes rich list only appeared in 1982 in his previous life, and at that time it was only the US rich list, and the global rich list only appeared in 1987.

Unexpectedly, this life actually appeared ahead of schedule, and let him be on the throne of the richest man.

The first richest man in the world in his previous life is Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who is now ranked second, and this man has been the richest man for several years in a row, until 1991 when he was surpassed by Yoshiro Moridai.

When the United States ranked first on the global rich list, it was still Bill Gates.

As for Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, he was the richest man in the United States for a few years before the Forbes rich list, but when the global rich list was released, he didn't make the top ten. At that time, his shares had been dispersed.

In this life, because the list appeared too early, especially the global ranking, Walton only ranked 6rd this time with a personal asset of 53 million US dollars.

Li Jianhui didn't care too much about this row, after all, he knew very well that real bosses would not appear on this list.

Although his personal assets are huge, compared with those family consortiums, there is still a big gap in strength.

He smiled at the girls and said, "It seems that I need to speed up the transfer of my personal shares, otherwise these people behind will not have the chance to surpass me."

Chen Xinyi knew that Li Jianhui's words were not a joke. Huihong Group and Xinjian Group were owned by Li Jianhui in his own name, not investment funds.

With the continuous rapid development of the major industries under the two major groups, Li Jianhui's social value will continue to rise, and these people behind him may not be able to catch up.

Moreover, Li Jianhui also controls Jingyi Electric Appliances, Jiayi Group, and Hongyu Clothing on the surface, all of which need to sell their shares to reduce their assets.

The Forbes rich list has this advantage. It only counts personal assets. If it is controlled by a family fund or an offshore fund, Forbes will not count it.

Now Li Jianhui has quite a few on the bright side. Huihong Group holds 69% of the shares, Xinjian Group holds 51% of the shares, and Jingyi Electric, Jiayi Group, and Hongyu Clothing are all wholly owned by individuals.

This is also Li Jianhui's entire industry on the surface. Even if some people suspect that some investment companies may belong to Li Jianhui, there is no evidence, and Li Jianhui's assets can only be calculated based on these.

Even if individual governments can know the specific situation of Li Jianhui's assets, they will never announce it to the public, because both Bermuda and the Cayman Islands are based on this. Once this information is released to the public, there will be no attraction for these two places. force.

The development of one side is always so similar. In the early days, they all wanted to be famous in the world. After they became famous, they thought about how to reduce their own fame and hide their strength.

For example, at the beginning of the century, the leaders of several big families in the United States were representatives of the rich. Compared with the leaders of these families, the people on the rich list are not worth mentioning at all.

There was a saying in the previous life that the Democratic Party belongs to Morgan and the Republican Party belongs to Rockefeller. Although there are some exaggerations, it is enough to prove the influence of these two families in the United States.

Although Li Jianhui has a lot of assets in the open and in the dark, compared with these top family consortiums, it still seems a bit insignificant.

The top ten consortiums in the United States do not take Xiangjiang consortiums seriously at present. In their minds, there are currently the six major consortia in Japan, as well as the Junkers consortium in Germany, the BNP Paribas consortium, the Rose consortium in England, and the Agnelli family in Italy.

These consortiums are not only rich, but also have great influence in the local government. Their industries cover a wide range, and they have a unique advantage in technology R&D and manufacturing.

However, the major consortiums in Xiangjiang, that is, small local consortiums, have average capital and few technical industries, especially almost zero industries in heavy industry.

There is no technology that can take the lead in a certain industry in the world. It is difficult to pose any threat to these top consortia just relying on industries such as real estate, finance, and hotels.

As for even the major Japanese consortiums in Asia, they didn't take the five major consortiums born in Xiangjiang too seriously, so the Donghua consortium paid a little attention to them.

Li Jianhui is also aware of the weakness of his power. Blue Maple Investment Company has acquired a chip research and development and manufacturing company in England. Although the technology and product quality are far from comparable to those of Intel and Texas Instruments, it is a good opportunity for Li Jianhui. Start.

Huihong Group bought out the technology authorization and formally established its own chip R&D, design and manufacturing company.

Blue Maple Technology Co., Ltd. in England will also increase investment in research and development. At that time, the two technologies will communicate with each other, and jointly promote the progress of chip technology, and strive to catch up with Texas Instruments within five years.

At the same time, Li Jianhui has already let Lanfeng Investment and Lipp Investment enter Australia, looking for opportunities to enter the iron ore industry, and grasping the upstream steel industry chain in his hands.

Cars are also being prepared, and will be acquired by Lipp Investment Company in England, focusing on Jaguar.

Li Jianhui didn't use those funds directly for his own bright business, but allocated all of them to the major investment companies. Since his own bright business lacked funds, the nine major investment companies invested.

This also caused the nine major investment companies to have ample funds. When Li Jianhui was short of money, he could replenish it at any time.

In this way, he can continuously reduce his shares on the bright side, and this transfer will not be too conspicuous, after all, this is expansion financing.

If he directly transfers the shares to an unknown investment company, the outside world will know that he is moving from left to right without guessing.
