Chapter 717 Hello!The World's Richest Man (4k)

After returning to Yanjing, the first thing Lu Fei did was to quietly go to Lu Yun's house to see his son. Xiao Hongmei raised Lu Hua to be white and fat.

"Call, Dad."

Lu Fei hugged Lu Hua and swayed gently, and saw him in his arms, staring at his big round eyes and smiling all the time.

"Second dad! Second dad!"

At this time, Lu Ruoruo ran up to him, holding his cheeks in his hands, "Are you the richest man in the world?"

"Who did you hear?"

Lu Fei looked surprised.

"That's what the TV said, the principal, teachers, father, and mother all said so, and..."

Lu Ruoruo flipped through the pile of magazines on the coffee table to the latest issue of Forbes magazine on April 4, and turned to the origami page.

On the list of the world's richest people, Lu Fei ranks first with a net worth of US$540 billion, while Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos ranks second with a net worth of US$535 billion.

Bill Gates and Buffett are third and fourth respectively.

Fuck, careless!

Lu Fei couldn't help being startled, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

I have invested in companies such as Uber, Twitter, Facebook, and Netflix, as well as the assets of the Trisolaris Foundation, as well as profits from long gold and short European debt, but I can hide everything I can and hide everything I can. According to statistics, the net worth has been greatly "shrunk" in the individual's name.

Why am I still the richest man in the world when I hide my wealth so much?Miscalculated, I should have been more low-key if I had known earlier!
Bill Gates and Buffett, you two idiots!

Hidden deeper than anyone else!
"Second dad, you are the richest man in the world, right?"

Lu Ruoruo looked at him innocently.

"Well, it is."

Lu Fei took a cursory look and found that he had seriously underestimated his ability to make money. Even though he was squandering day and night every day and racking his brains to throw money, the more money he spent, the more money he got.

The more you smash, the more you hit!Especially penguins!

Although the market value that skyrocketed due to the short squeeze has fallen back, it has also risen from US$500 billion to nearly US$640 billion. With a slight gap, it is ahead of the second Google and the third Feigou.

Coupled with the recent acquisitions of TVB and Xiangjiang Telecom, as well as various major financing moves by Sogou and Meituan, it has exposed hundreds of millions of points of wealth.

No, we must hide another tens of billions of dollars next year!

It was so painful!The whole person was taken away!

"Second dad, you are the richest man in the world, can you buy it for me..." Lu Ruoruo's eyes were "bulingbuling".

"Lu Ruoruo! Go wash your hands!"

Xiao Hongmei walked out of the kitchen carrying fruit.

Seeing Lu Ruoruo walking to the bathroom aggrievedly, like a mouse meeting a cat, with his head shrunk, the corners of Lu Fei's mouth curled up slightly.

"A Fei, ignore her, and don't promise her anything!" Xiao Hongmei teased Lu Hua and said, "Since this kid knew you were the richest man in the world, good guy, he made a whole page wish list yesterday. It’s full of pros and cons, you can imagine anything, amusement parks, zoos, ski resorts are all out!”

"Pfft, sister-in-law, can I take a look?"

The corners of Lu Fei's mouth raised even more
"Look at this unlucky kid."

Xiao Hongmei took out the wish list angrily.

"Ruoruo, you are really a genius..."

Lu Fei glanced at ten lines and raised his eyebrows.

Good guy, think of him as Batman and Santa Claus.

Even the Dinosaur Museum is out!
"It's what they say on TV. They say you have the power to do anything, and that any wish can come true!"

Lu Ruoruo ran out and begged: "Second dad, second dad, it's hard for me to take care of Huahua! I feed him bottles and change diapers every day, and I'm so hungry..."

"Why have you lost weight? You have also gained 4 pounds. You snatch Huahua's milk powder and toys every day, and you only have to snatch his diapers!"

Xiao Hongmei glared.

"Talent."

Lu Fei couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Lu Ruoruo standing with his head lowered.

Xiao Hongmei said: "His father has been used to it. She can't let her say anything this time. Otherwise, if she thinks that having an uncle who is the richest man in the world, she can go to heaven! She can hit the moon!"

Lu Fei met Lu Ruoruo's expectant gaze, "God can't fulfill it yet, but there are other wishes..."

"A Fei, this is not good."

Xiao Hongmei lowered her voice and reminded: "You are now not only the richest man in the mainland and China, but also the richest man in Asia and the world. You are so big that you attract the wind. Many pairs of eyes are staring at you."

Then he ignored the frustrated Lu Ruoruo and said, "You were in Xiangjiang a few days ago. The media couldn't find you and they all ran to your brother. There are also people who are asking where our family's grave is and want to move it to be our parents' neighbors. You Look what's going on..."

"Oh, it's hard to be the richest man. It's hard to be the richest man in the world!"

Lu Fei pulled the corners of his mouth upwards and then hurriedly pulled them down. It was so painful.

"Don't worry about Ruoruo's affairs."

Xiao Hongmei hugged Lu Hua into her arms, "Aren't you going out later? Go ahead and do your work. I'll take Hua Hua with you. Will you be back for lunch?"

"No, sister-in-law."

Lu Fei could only shrug at Lu Ruoruo and was helpless.

No problem, I am the second son of the King of Heaven, and the elder sister-in-law is the boss!

The richest man in the world is also afraid of the sister-in-law who raised him!
Then, he asked Wang Ben to take him to Shuimu University.

In name, I wanted to get a deposited EMBA master's degree, but in fact I came to Zhao Wu, who proposed the SSMB-EUV light source.

But unfortunately, it happened that Zhao Wu was going abroad for academic exchange, and unfortunately he missed it. He could only promise to donate a sum of money to the Institute for Advanced Study where he was working, and made an appointment to meet him in advance.

Seeing Mr. Lu's generosity, the leaders couldn't help but sigh, he deserves to be the richest man in the world!This alumnus is worth it!

Amidst the praises of "the richest man in the world", Lu Fei took a few photos with the principal, dean and others. At the following luncheon, Lu Fei declined the invitation and rushed to the next stop without stopping -

Meituan.

Xu Lei also got the news and rushed to the company. He, Wang Xing, Wang Huiwen and others hurried to the door to greet him.

"Come and welcome our richest man in the world, Mr. Lu!"

Seeing Lu Fei getting out of the car, Xu Lei took the lead in applauding.

"Wow wow wow."

In an instant, the applause thundered and surged like a tide.

Lu Fei secretly rolled his eyes at Xu Lei, then smiled and shook hands with Wang Xing, Wang Huiwen and other Meituan executives one by one.

Surrounded by everyone, Lu Fei and Xu Lei walked at the forefront.

"Hey, why aren't you happy when you become the richest man in the world?"

Xu Lei looked sideways and teased softly.

"Go, go, it's annoying!"

Lu Fei rolled his eyes.

"What do you mean, being the richest man in the world is annoying, so why the hell am I not the richest man in the world?"

Xu Lei winked and said, "I almost forgot, you are not interested in money. The happiest time for you every day is when you go to the Internet with a few steel coins in your pocket."

"Don't make fun of me. I was too careless this time. I won't be the same next time." Lu Fei curled his lips.

Xu Lei said: "No way, you are still here? As for it, wouldn't it be nice to be the richest man in the world? Others want to be but they can't!"

"Aren't you hiding it too?"

"I am different from you. As the world's richest man, we have benefited a lot. Not to mention, this financing was so smooth, thanks to your aura as the 'world's richest man' at the time. Meituan's valuation ratio The premium we expected was [-]%.”

"How was the Series B financing going this time?"

Lu Fei stepped into the elevator.

Wang Xing followed closely, "It's very ideal. We raised 4 million more than the expected 1.25 million U.S. dollars. The equity didn't increase by a penny, it's still 10%. This money is enough to support Meituan to the mobile Internet you mentioned, Mr. Lu." The trend period.”

Lu Fei then asked the institutional investors involved in the financing.

Xu Lei replied, referring to Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, the Zheng family's New World and the Li family's Sun Hung Kai, "The help you have found is really powerful." He glanced at Wang Xing: "Are you sure now?"

"I dare not say [-]%."

Wang Xing dare not say too much. Today's group buying is really a battle between thousands of groups. Because of the rise of Meituan, a whirlwind of "group buying + takeout" model has set off across the country. Large and small group buying food websites, just registered , more than 1500.

Moreover, none of the Internet giants are far behind.

Baidu has Nuomi.com, Ali has Juhuasuan, Shanda has Lashou.com, Sohu has Tuanbao.com, but Netyi and New Wolf are not mixed together. In order to grab the market, each company competes all over the sea, land and air, bombarding with advertising, Massive promotion, large-scale subsidies...

So far, at least tens of billions of venture capital and hundreds of thousands of people have been involved, and no one wants to miss this opportunity. "Internet platforms are a Matthew effect. The winner takes all. There will be no more than two or three companies that can win."

Lu Fei smiled and said, "What are you going to do?"

"Mr. Lu, you said that the strongest logic of Internet competition is to burn money. Only by continuously burning money can we expand our market share and increase the number of users, activity, and retention rates. Whoever runs out of money first will have to do this. Shipwreck in the Red Sea!”

There was murderous intent in Wang Xing's tone.

When the elevator door opened, Lu Fei walked out first.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a crowd of people stepping on the marble floor.

When he arrived at the conference room, Wang Xing saw that the door was closed, and then he confidently reported Meituan's money-burning plan. In addition to spending "one billion subsidies" on group purchases, the areas involved included catering, hotels, tourism, and culture and entertainment, with a focus on Takeout and ticketing business.

“It’s not enough to burn money.”

Lu Fei crossed his arms, "If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. Although the Internet is about money, you also have to fight for services, manpower, and technology."

Wang Xing, Xu Lei and others looked at each other.

Payment, logistics, traffic, and even QR codes are completely far ahead of their peers. What else can lead?

"First of all, people."

Lu Fei focused on the delivery boy.

Meituan wants to cooperate with insurance companies to customize accident insurance for delivery guys. Although it is not able to provide the same stable "five insurances and one housing fund" as ZTO for the time being, in the future development, depending on whether it is full-time and the number of years of work, to improve the treatment system.

At least social security, medical insurance and work-related injury insurance must be guaranteed.

"Then I guess I'll be vying to be a delivery person for Meituan in the future!" Wang Xing feels that the stage of burning money and fighting for a bayonet is indeed feasible.

"Also, there's map navigation."

Lu Fei looked left and right.

Xu Lei, Wang Xing and others were not stupid and understood immediately.

With high-precision positioning technology, especially mobile map navigation, based on the user's location, surrounding takeaways and restaurants can be quickly displayed and guided to the destination.

"Yes, map navigation is indeed needed!"

Xu Lei asked: "Then should we build our own department and conduct independent research and development, or should we simply find one in the market and make strategic investment."

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Xu, in my opinion, we should just buy it directly, because there is a ready-made one right now!" Wang Xing rubbed his hands.

"You mean Gaode Map?"

Xu Lei took a sip of water.

"This is the map navigation software designated by the World Expo."

Wang Xing nodded solemnly.

Just when everyone was talking about it, Wang Huiwen poured cold water on it. It is very likely that Amap will not agree to be acquired.

Wang Xing was curious, "Why?"

"Amap has planned to go public in the United States this year, unless all shareholders are persuaded to terminate the listing and agree to be acquired by us."

Hearing Wang Hui's words, Xu Lei frowned and exclaimed, "It seems that we can only occupy a 'pre-ipo'..."

"Old Xu, please talk to someone with high moral standards."

Lu Fei changed the subject, "Actually, AutoNavi is not my first choice, and the reason is very simple. AutoNavi's main business is ToB, and it serves in-vehicle maps for car companies such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Honda. It does not have ToC. It’s not free either, right?”

“The monetization of Amap’s maps mainly relies on paid downloads.”

Wang Xing nodded.

"This is the problem. What is the core of the Internet? It is free! Although Amap can support Meituan, it does not meet the core purpose of our map navigation."

Lu Fei agreed, "So we need to be prepared."

Under the gaze of everyone, he told the truth that Sogou was leading the map navigation project to develop a "free" mobile phone navigation, with Meituan, Feigou and Penguin providing money, people and technology.

This major alliance now supports e-commerce, logistics, and takeout. In the future, it will also support taxi-hailing software, short videos, BYD, Geely and other car companies, and even AI-assisted driving of new energy vehicles. In short, navigation can cover - —

I have to be all!

"I agree."

"Mr. Lu, I also agree..."

After discussing it one by one, they all supported it.

"it is good."

Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction, everything was as expected.

Meituan is like this, Feigou and Penguin are also like this.

But it’s not enough. In addition to domestic, Feigou and Meituan’s overseas e-commerce layout also needs a map navigation software.

"Isn't there...a Google map?"

Xu Lei touched his nose. The domestic map navigation, even Gaode, was not very effective overseas. The reason is self-evident.

"If one day Google doesn't give it to us, wouldn't it be blind? Especially since our global business has spread across Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia." Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.

Xu Lei said helplessly: "But it is impossible for foreign countries to allow our map navigation to be used for surveying and mapping, and we cannot get map authorization and traffic guide permits. It may even be banned directly."

"So we need to use a shell company to buy a ready-made one overseas, and at least get control of it." Lu Fei looked around.

"Leave this to me."

Xu Lei took over the task of map navigation.

Navigate along the map, from Meituan’s business deployment after financing, to the plans and goals of the June [-]th Shopping Festival.

"Whether your year-end bonus this year is generous or not depends on whether you can do it on June [-]th and Double Eleven. It's a good deal! Do it on Taoduoduo! Do it on Ali Baba!"

“This is Meituan’s goal this year.”

"If I surpass Ahri throughout the year, that would be great. In addition to the company's rewards, I will also pay for it myself!"

Lu Fei waved his hand, and the richest man in the world was so wealthy.

"Boss Lu is mighty!"

The emotions of everyone in the conference room were aroused.

"In short, Ahri will never be able to defeat Feigou."

"But Meituan can kill Ahri!"

Lu Fei seemed to have thrown a fire into the pile of dry firewood that was Meituan. The crowd immediately became excited and morale was high, and then he announced that the meeting was adjourned.

"Hey, how did Lu Yun provoke you again?"

Xu Lei took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed him one.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "Didn't Li Zekai steal TVB from me? Lu Yun and Guo Guangchang also got involved."

"Oh, I see."

Xu Lei lit the fire for him: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Fei sneered and said: "Guo Guangchang can't find a chance for the time being, so he will let it go first. Lu Yun, on the other hand, isn't Yahoo and Ali Baba going to fight for control this year? This is an opportunity to make a move."

"Even if Luyun fails, it may not be Wang Zhidong's fate. After all, Ali Baba, which is listed on the market, is just a shell company."

Xu Lei lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Ali Baba imitated their Feigou.com and split the business into independent companies. Once they left the Luyun team, even if Yahoo took control of Ali, they would only get an empty shell. Alipay and Taoduoduo are still in Luyun. The cloud is in control.

It is inevitable that Yahoo will sell its shares to Luyun.

It can only be said that Yahoo's gaining control only increases its bargaining chips, maximizing its interests and getting more money.

"It will make Lu Yun and Ah Li pay a greater price, which is good for Feigou and good for me. Besides, this is not the end, nor is it the beginning of the end, it is just the end of the beginning."

Amid the smoke, Lu Fei smiled evilly.

"Hey, you offended the world's richest man and you still want to run away!"

Xu Lei blew out a smoke ring and couldn't help but sigh.

How miserable!Lu Yun will be remembered for the rest of his life!
"I'll go to Sogou next stop. Do you want to come with me to take a look at the map navigation project? There's already a prototype of the framework?"

Lu Fei put out his cigarette in the ashtray.

　Thanks to Flying Dante for the 500 starting coins.
