Chapter 649: China’s richest man? No, the richest man in Asia!
Netizens were arguing over the dispute over the two dinner parties, but many bigwigs were still quite harmonious in private, at least on the surface.

What’s interesting is that, perhaps because of the summit, many bigwigs have arranged for interviews and feature/documentary filming.

The ones Wei Yang knows include Zhang Sanshi from Hillhouse Capital and Boss Zhang from Sohu, and it seems that JD.com also brought people with it.

Anyway, when Wei Yang organized the dinner that day, there were probably more than twenty people in the box, not including the service staff, and there were at least three digits of assistants, drivers, staff, reporters, photographers, etc. waiting outside.

In terms of fame and popularity, Wei Yang can be said to be number one among all the business tycoons, so it is natural that he will be included in several shots by the interviewing media intentionally or unintentionally.

There were even more people who wanted to be interviewed, so the conference specially arranged a few more volunteers for him to help.

When Wei Yang was about to leave Wuzhen, he asked his bodyguard to buy some gifts to express his gratitude to the volunteers and staff.

When the private jet lands in Shanghai again, 2017 will be coming to an end.

Perhaps it is due to the popularity of the Internet conference, or perhaps it is the year-end summary, Forbes also announced the new Forbes Rich List as the new year approaches.

Globally, Bill Gates, who was the world's richest man in the middle of the year, was overtaken by Amazon founder Bezos.

The stock god Buffett also surpassed the Spanish retail giant Ortega to enter the top three.

Of course, the most attention in the country is still on the mainland wealthy people, and at most the Chinese wealthy people. No one on this list made it into the top ten in the world.

However, in addition to the four old faces from previous years, the two Ma, one Wang and Hong Kong's Li Huanggua, there are two newcomers this year.

One is Boss Wei, who many people have guessed, and the other is Boss Xu, who has made rapid progress in the past two months.

According to the line chart released by Forbes, Wei and Xu have surpassed the two Ma's in recent times and are competing with Wanda's Wang for the position of the richest man in mainland China and even Asia.

In the end, it was Lao Wang, who had a deeper foundation, who won.

Boss Wei did not become the richest man. With a personal fortune of US$304 billion, he surpassed the two Ma brothers and Boss Xu and ranked second in the mainland.

In addition, he is slightly inferior to Li Huanggua among the richest Chinese, ranking third, and globally he is just slightly more than Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft and owner of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers, ranking 21st.

Countless fans were beating their chests for Wei Yang, he was just one step away, less than 10 billion US dollars, just a few dozen small goals, and Boss Wei would become the richest man in China.

What a pity!

Boss Wei was very satisfied with the result and wanted to present a banner to Forbes. He didn't know how these people calculated his assets, but they did a great job.

I'm so glad, it was just a little bit.

When Boss Wei first entered the Forbes Rich List, he was full of energy and had dreamed of becoming the richest man. Now that he has experienced more and his dream of becoming the richest man is within reach, Boss Wei wishes he could not become the richest man.

Well, there haven’t been many richest people who have met with bad luck in recent years!
I won’t even mention the Gome bosses in the early years, let’s just talk about the two Ma’s and one Wang. The only one who barely escaped was Brother Ma. Later, Boss Xu became the richest man, and now he doesn’t know where he will live in his next life. Boss Zhong of Nongfu Spring was also in a mess.

Wei Yang is already famous enough, and a tall tree attracts the wind. With the halo of being the richest man, there is no way he will survive in the future.

If PPTV’s listing hadn’t caused too much noise, with someone stirring up trouble and official support, Boss Wei would have been caught off guard and he would never have exposed his assets.

It basically remains in the 20s or 30s, which is a safe range that he personally can accept.

I thought I couldn't survive this time, but I didn't expect there would always be a way out.

Although the second place is also very famous, he is not the richest man after all. Sometimes, even though there is only one position difference between the first and the second, there is an essential difference.

After overcoming this difficulty, Boss Xu is already in place. Wei Yang has plenty of operations to make himself suffer "heavy losses" next year, and he will not fall out of the top ten, nor will he be able to get his hands on the throne of the richest man.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Boss Wei, in a very good mood, went home and had a couple of drinks with Fan's father. Fan's mother, who had previously had some complaints about him, this time looked at her son-in-law with particularly gentle eyes.

Grandma!

China's richest man, who is just 30 years old and has a net worth of more than 2000 billion yuan, still cares about his status. It is enough to give him face if he is called mother.

In the future, even if the grandson gets 1/10 of the assets, that would be 200 billion. Wow, when Fan's mother looks at her precious grandson again, it will be as if she is looking at a golden baby.

No, it’s a jade doll, and it’s top-grade glass type!

...

The next day, Boss Wei got up, washed up, and was about to go see his third son.

Then I noticed that Fat Fan, who got up earlier than me, looked at me strangely, and my mother-in-law's eyes were even more eager than yesterday.

"what happened?"

Fat Fan handed the phone to him. Wei Yang took a look at the title and his blood pressure soared.

"grass!"

"Challenging Forbes? Hurun Rich List is updated only one day after Forbes, Wei Yang tops the list as the richest Chinese"

When I clicked on it, I saw that, as expected, Hurun also made a list, which was not much different from the Forbes list, with only changes in ranking and specific asset numbers.

Although the world's richest man is Amazon's Bezos, the difference in their assets is nearly 200 billion US dollars.

The second place became Warren Buffett, the stock god, and Bill Gates became the third.

As for the Chinese list that Wei Yang cares about the most, Wei Yang surpassed Lao Wang and Xiao Ma Ge with 2450 billion yuan and ranked first.

He is the richest man in China, the richest Chinese and the richest man in Asia, and ranks 15th in the world.

Li Huanggua, who was ranked second on the Forbes list, fell out of the top five. Li Ka-shing became the richest man in Hong Kong, and together with the two Ma brothers and one Wang, he squeezed Boss Xu, who was ranked third on the Forbes list, to sixth place.

"This is not accurate at all. Is Hurun mentally ill? Don't they usually announce the figures at the beginning of the year?"

Wei Yang was a little furious. He had finally come down from the dangerous platform, but that damn guy put him back up again.

Fatty Fan said softly, "There is a debate online about which list is more accurate. People on Zhihu and Tieba are starting to dig up assets."

Wei Yang got an even bigger headache after hearing this. There were many experts among the people and many professional masters on the Internet. Boss Wei would never look down on them.

His industrial layout and real estate have all been exposed. Even if he is not the richest man, it is still scary enough.

Wei Yang went to the study and lit a cigar for himself, then made a few phone calls, feeling extremely speechless.

Damn, Hurun has arranged an undercover agent who knew about Forbes' arrangement in advance and is waiting to use the Wei Yang incident to step on the opponent.

Wei Yang has many supporters. In addition to his fans, many passers-by also want to see a legendary young richest man. Even the official attitude is somewhat ambiguous. Hurun took the initiative and carried the public opinion. Even if the list is not accurate, it has become accurate.

No, Forbes is probably not innocent either, and it remains to be seen whether it is playing a double game with Hurun.

The two Ma's and one Wang are nothing new. Boss Xu is not important enough. Who else in the entire business world is more popular than Boss Wei?

Wei Yang was ranked the richest man in a standard manner, and he received some popularity, but not enough. With the wave of controversy and confrontation, Hurun's popularity soared, and Forbes also received a lot of attention.

As to whether it will damage the credibility of the list, that depends on personal opinion. After all, it is normal for this kind of asset statistics to have inaccurate data, and Wei Yang's ranking second on Forbes is not a big mistake.

At the beginning of next year, when Forbes releases another real-time list and puts Wei Yang as the richest man, it will not only restore his reputation but also gain another wave of popularity.

Boss Wei, who is kind-hearted, never speculates on these so-called lists with the utmost malice.

Fairness is just a tool for them. If they were truly selfless, it would not just be entrepreneurs who would make the list. He would not be surprised if these people did anything for the sake of development and making money.

What's more, Wei Yang's apparent wealth already meets the requirements for being the richest man. In that case, why not go with the flow and kill two birds with one stone.

dong dong dong~
There was a knock on the door, and Fatty Fan came in and opened the window to let out the cigarette smoke: "What do you say now?"

"What can I do? I said it last time. This is not my will. Everyone wants me to be the richest man, and I am one of them."

"I was mentally prepared for this, but Forbes shook me yesterday and now I'm back to square one."

Wei Yang put out his cigar. He was a little angry at first, but he calmed down after smoking.

Just like he said, he had prepared for this beforehand, but he didn't expect Forbes and Hurun to play such a trick. However, he has made a note of this account and will teach these two guys a lesson sooner or later.

Since I can’t escape the title of the richest man now, I won’t hide it.

Wei Yang is confident that Xiao Ma Ge can land safely. At worst, he can just make some arrangements for his escape.

As for the others, they still followed the original plan. Boss Wei would give up his position to Boss Xu when he had the chance and continue to live a life of "eating and waiting to die" with "no ambition".

After calming down, Wei Yang put on a smile and started joking with Fan Xiaopang.

"Interview, what does it feel like to be the wife of the richest man?"

Putting aside those potential risks, becoming the richest man is actually a good thing. In a sense, this is one of the peak moments in Boss Wei's life. I don't know how many people outside are envious and jealous of Boss Wei.

"Humph, what kind of wife am I? At most, I am a concubine."

Seeing that Wei Yang had returned to normal, Fat Fan put away his worries, rolled his eyes at him, and went to see his son.

Young Master Wei, who had no idea that he had become the son of the richest man since birth, is still sleeping soundly. Although he has not grown up yet, he has inherited the genes of his parents' good looks. His eyebrows and eyes are already delicate and handsome, and his skin is whiter than that of other children of the same age.

Wei Yang personally thinks that little Wei Li is the best looking among his sons.

Of course, they are still babies now. There are many cases where they are cute when they are young but become ugly when they grow up.

However, Wei Yang believes that his sons will become handsome men in the future, as charming as his father and able to charm thousands of girls.

He now felt that giving Li Jiahang one son-in-law was a bit too cheap for the latter. Forget it, for the sake of his daughter-in-law, he would not bother with this grandson...

...

Wei Yang asked someone to suppress his popularity, which to a certain extent stopped various big names from digging deeper into his assets.

But his title as China's new richest man has also been confirmed.

There was a great uproar in the country, and other countries in Asia, Europe and the United States also gave it publication space.

In fact, Boss Wei had frequently appeared in these overseas media as a top billionaire before, but this time he became the richest man in China and even in Asia, which still caused a big sensation.

Young super-rich man who made his fortune from scratch!
Wei Yang's legend has spread far and wide, not only becoming an idol for many young Chinese people, but also inspiring many young people abroad.

Especially in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places where Wei Yang has a great influence, Boss Wei has become the light of Asia and a role model for young people.

A South Korean TV station even began planning to shoot a TV series based on Wei Yang, called "The Richest Man in Asia". It tells the story of a South Korean trainee who went from being an amateur to becoming a superstar, then entered the business world, punched chaebols, kicked politicians, and became the richest man in Asia.

As soon as this news came out, it caused great indignation among Wei Yang's fans and passers-by in China.

Why should our richest man let Koreans make dramas!
So many people went to the Weibo of Blue Whale and Wei Yang, wanting Blue Whale to make a drama based on Wei Yang.

The actors are all ready-made, with Wei Yang playing the male lead Wei Yin, Zhao Liying playing Zhao Lihuang, and Liu Shishi playing Liu Gangan. The female lead is also there, with Li Jiahang playing the second male lead, and more stars being invited to make guest appearances. It is absolutely a top-notch restoration, super real, and far better than the Korean imitations.

These are just ordinary netizens. Those who are quick and talented have already written the script.

In the first episode, Wei Yin participated in a football match, then submitted an article for "The Best of Us", and filmed with his roommates, where he met a round-faced girl who played an extra role.

However, this script was quickly rejected by Liu Shishi's fans. They believed that this script was written by Zhao Liying's fans and was biased towards Xiao Tudou.

The correct script should be like this. In the first episode, Wei Yin went to Tangren for an interview, met his senior brothers Hu and Yuan, and had a great chat with them. Then he met Tangren's newcomer Liu Gangan, was amazed and fell in love at first sight.

Later, with the help of a round-faced female villain, Wei Yin and Liu Gangan went through many hardships and finally got married.

Then this book was rejected again!
Can you please not film all the love scenes? The interesting part of the story is obviously in the careers, and the TV series is too dragged out. The movie series has a faster pace.

The first part is that Wei Yin started a business and joined hands with top actress Fan Xiaoshou to create the invincible idol drama "Go to the Sun", which became a top star in one fell swoop. Wei and Fan also became comrades-in-arms and confidants who fought side by side and knew and trusted each other.

As for those miscellaneous female supporting roles, there is no need to film them and it is a waste of shots.

After counting and counting, there were more than a dozen versions in the end, and some of them were influential, with seven or eight of them, and none of them were out of the scope of love.

The "screenwriters" are also very confident. If he doesn't fall in love, is he still Wei Yang?

Boss Wei: “…”

He really wants to become invisible now, so why are you urging him to shoot his autobiography and keep it as historical material?
Faced with the turmoil outside, Wei Yang always kept a low profile and kept quiet. He did not accept any interviews or make any public statements, and he even stopped posting on Weibo and Moments.

He had been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an event that would draw all attention.

Wei Yang has waited for the last day of 2017!
The "Sister-in-law Gate" incident that shocked the entertainment industry broke out. With the help of paparazzi Wang Zhuowei, the Jia Xiao duo and Wan Zai, who liked his sister-in-law, stepped forward and attracted the attention of the entire network.

The richest man Wei also came down from the headlines and started to happily eat melons...
