Chapter 74 The Billionaire
Mr. Chris' troubles did not affect Peyton at all. On the contrary, he was in a very good mood during this period.

A few days ago, New York Securities, Random House was officially listed successfully. As the first published stock, coupled with the rumors of drug lords, the stock market is booming now. The stock has been highly sought after on the first day of listing, and it has reached nearly [-] million US dollar market value.

We must thank the stock market and the global economic recovery over the years.

In the past two years, as long as the stocks can be called names, they have skyrocketed.

The market value of Random House is obviously inflated in Peyton's view. It is a bit like the Internet concept stocks of later generations. How can it be worth so much?

However, this is the stock market, which is always more magical than your imagination.

Of course, it may also be because people don't have much comparison. As the first stock in the publishing industry, a giant in the publishing industry, with huge market influence and good-looking financial statements, it is only natural that Random House is sought after.

At this time, according to the market value, Payton's 20% is no more than 6000 million US dollars.

"Sure enough, it is going to be listed and capital operation is required. This is faster than writing a book."

Peyton sighed in his heart, thinking about selling the stocks in his hands appropriately.

For this listing plan, Payton changed his career plan.

Now that the listing is successful, it is almost time to cash out and leave.

……

Early in the morning, Peyton just drank a glass of fresh fruit juice.

Mr. Chris suddenly picked up a newspaper and walked up to him.

"This is real?"

Mr. Chris handed Payton a copy of the latest New York Times paper.

At this moment, his face was full of surprise, and he stared at Peyton with wide eyes, as if he was looking at an alien.

Peyton glanced at Mr. Chris. In his memory, his father was a calm guy.

Moreover, the incident in Little Rock, Arkansas was handled well a few days ago. Under the efforts of the Democratic Party, public opinion in the entire South quickly faded.

The demonstrations in various places have also gradually dispersed. Except for Arkansas, where the racial issue has become more acute, the rest of the states have had little impact.

It's just that more seeds of hatred must have been left in the dark, waiting for the next outbreak.

As for the state of Alabama, because Mr. Chris has been keeping an eye on Jin and arrested some people who wanted to take advantage of the fire and robbed him in time, there were no other problems.

What's all the fuss about?
I don't remember any earth-shattering events this year. It can't be that the third world war broke out, and there was no shadow of the 21st century in my previous life.

The governor's election has to wait until the middle of next year.

What happened recently?

After taking the newspaper and glancing at the headline, Peyton smiled instantly.

That's it?

As a reserve governor, Mr. Governor, he is too impatient!
My father still can't do it, what a fuss!
Newspaper headline - The Federation's Youngest Billionaire, Son of the Federation, Peyton Criss.

The newspaper gave a detailed introduction of Peyton's current net worth, from the sales of several books, as well as copyright income, to the shares of Random House, which has just been listed and started the first share in the publishing industry, and the comics industry under his name, and The local leather factory in Alabama, as well as some food factories and real estate acquired not long ago.

Of course, the most important thing is his industry in Japan - a clothing brand based on the Snow Country series.

They have a clear analysis of the clothing group's industry scale, channels, production value, and sales last year, and finally got a valuation of 8000 million US dollars.

The market value of Random House, which has just been listed, is the clearest, 6000 million!
Not counting the rest, the sum of these two items alone exceeds hundreds of millions.

Billionaire!
This is a billionaire in the 50s, so young, no wonder Mr. Chris was so surprised.

Although it has been known before that Payton has a lot of money.

But hundreds of millions, this is still a line, a line in the eyes of Mr. Chris - a big capitalist.

Among other things, at least in the state of Alabama, a billionaire is no less important than the governor. He is definitely a giant and a big capitalist in all walks of life.

The governor will change every four years, and billionaires can decide to a certain extent who will be the next governor!
He was still looking for favorable supporters, but unexpectedly, his son became a billionaire.

"It's true, but their valuation of the apparel group is not very accurate."

Chris frowned slightly: "Is the valuation too high? If you cut it in half, even if it's 4000 million, you're over hundreds of millions."

As he said that, Mr. Chris sighed in his heart, feeling that it was unreal that my son had actually become a billionaire.

"Your business in Japan is so big? This country of snow occupies 40% of Japan's mid-to-high-end clothing market. Even if it is not worth 8000 million, it should not be much different. After all, Japan's economy has been recovering in the past two years. "

Peyton smiled and didn't say much.

Of course it is not accurate, but it is not high, but low.

This information is only from last year, but his investment in Japan is skyrocketing every moment!
Simply put, he has invested tens of millions in Japan over the years. With the current economic recovery in Japan, the real estate industry has gradually heated up.

Just those few pieces of undeveloped land in the prosperous area with the help of Snow Country are not only 8000 million.

Not to mention, the vigorously built sales channels, production factories, and stores all over Japan have occupied half of the sales market!
Really let Peyton value it, this property is worth more than Random House, even now.

Needless to say, after the Japanese economy really took off, by the end of the 60s, this industry was enough to buy ten or a hundred Random Houses.

There is no information about his real estate in Japan, certain factories, or important channels in the newspaper. The estimate is 8000 million, barely, and it is within the range that Payton is willing to disclose.

"However, this New York Times is too much, isn't this an invasion of privacy?
"Peyton, you should sue them!" Soon, Mr. Chris became angry. It was not that there was anything wrong with being famous, but mainly because of safety considerations.

The news that Peyton has become a billionaire has been known by the entire Federation. Aren't those kidnappers eyeing him?

The environment in Alabama is not good!

Peyton shook his head: "Don't be angry, I already knew about this, and I agree with it."

Peyton naturally knew about this matter a long time ago, and even said that he was the one who initiated it.

It can be said that every industry valuation in the newspaper even has Payton's contribution, so that he can hide some important layouts.

Otherwise, where did the New York Times get some of Snow Country's financial reports, and then estimate the market value?
How dare they publish it in the newspaper openly?
The Federation is a capitalist society, and the resources here are all for the rich.

You can scold the president in front of the White House, but as long as you dare to say something wrong about the last rich man, he will dare to subject you to a subpoena from the court, make you bear huge legal fees, and let you be imprisoned under countless names.

That's what money does!

Without Peyton's permission, no newspaper would dare to publish his information so unscrupulously.

Not to mention something so sensitive.

Are you afraid of being accused of commercial espionage?

"You know?" Mr. Chris was a little surprised?

In his eyes, Peyton is not a person who likes to show off, but a person who is as cautious as him.

It is not in line with Peyton's style to wait for his net worth in the newspaper.

Peyton smiled: "For the sake of publicity, you haven't paid attention to this newspaper. There are many reports about my comics industry. Next, I plan to use this to lay out the toy market."

As he spoke, Peyton pointed to a section of the newspaper—an epoch-making cartoon, comparable to the masterpiece of a drug lord.

This can be regarded as a soft broadcast, using Payton's reputation to further promote his "Transformers", and then open up the toy market.

"Just to promote comics? Is this too exaggerated?" Mr. Chris shook his head.

Peyton laughed: "Of course it's not that simple. To be precise, Random House, I'm going to cash out and leave. Doesn't this stimulate the market value?"

"And for the Snow Country Group, next, I intend to open up the federal market, just to do publicity?"

"Multiple actions!"

Mr. Chris nodded, stimulating the market value of Random House?Open up the federal market?It sounds reasonable.

"In the end, if you want to run for governor, a billionaire will help you more than a bestselling author."

When Mr. Chris heard this, his eyes lit up and he smiled.

This is true.

His son is a self-made billionaire with a positive image, which is more shocking than a child prodigy or best-selling author.

"Be careful. The Federation is not safe recently. You must always bring bodyguards with you when you go out."

Peyton smiled: "Don't worry, I'm a billionaire who cherishes life. During this time, I won't go out without ten bodyguards by my side."

"Ten? A little less." Mr. Chris shook his head.

"Next, continue to strengthen your security construction, as well as your manor. It would be good to convert it into a military fortress."

When Peyton heard this, he immediately remembered the manor he had seen when he visited Joe that day, and couldn't help but smile.

"Row."

"Then I'll ask someone to provide a design drawing and arrange it as soon as possible." Mr. Chris said.

The federal kidnapping industry has also been extremely hot in recent years under the background of economic recovery.

The group of kidnappers is like a fish in water in an environment where "everyone has some money".

Even if you are afraid of danger and dare not kidnap the rich, kidnapping an ordinary middle class can still ask for a bond of [-] yuan.

Last year alone, there were more than 3000 kidnapping cases in Alabama, and the funds involved had reached [-] million.

This is Alabama, which has always had a countryside. In New York, [-] million, or even double it, is normal.

Under such a big background, it is no wonder that the New York Mafia is in full swing, not counting drugs, and the rest of their industrial chain is also very profitable!

Kidnapping, gambling, affair, their industrial chain is too rich.
