Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Yi smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? How can I be the richest man in the world!"

Just as he finished speaking, Zhao Xinlan beside him suddenly said, "Mr. Li, you really are the richest man in the world. You have more than 230 billion US dollars in cash in your personal account alone, plus you own 70% of the shares of Xingchen Investment Company. The value of this part of assets is almost billion US dollars."

"In addition, you also own 95% of the shares of Sheffield Steel and 33% of the shares of Green Brothers. If you take these into account, your personal assets are conservatively estimated to be 550 billion US dollars."

"According to the Forbes 400 Rich List published last year, the total assets of all the rich people on the list are only 920 billion US dollars. That means Mr. Li, your personal assets are more than half of the total assets of all the rich people on the Forbes Rich List. You are the undisputed richest man in the world!"

After listening to Zhao Xinlan’s review, Huang Lixing and others were stunned again!

Although everyone knows that Li Yi is worth a lot of money, no one has ever associated him with the world's richest man.

After all, Li Yi's rise was too short, only about two or three years.

But after Zhao Xinlan said this, everyone was surprised to find that Li Yi's assets had reached such a terrifying level without them realizing it, and the world's richest man was actually right next to them.

However, after hearing this, Li Yi shook his head calmly.

"Do you really think that with assets of more than 50 billion US dollars, you are the richest person in the world? If you really think so, then you are too naive!"

"Isn't it?" Huang Lixing asked back.

"Of course not. Whether it is the Forbes Rich List or other wealth lists, they are just for ordinary people to see. The real rich people are never on the list." Li Yi said lightly.

"Brother Li Yi, do you mean to say that there are people in the world who are richer than you?" Huang Lixing asked in surprise.

"Yes, in the eyes of most people, 50 billion US dollars is indeed an astronomical figure, but in the eyes of some hidden super families, my money is not even a fraction of theirs!" Li Yi said.

"How is it possible that 50 billion is not even a fraction of it? Are there really such wealthy families in the world?" Huang Lixing said in shock.

Li Yi smiled and said, "You think the world is too simple. The principle of not showing off your wealth is not only understood by us Chinese, but also understood by all smart capital giants. So what ordinary people see is just the tip of the iceberg of the world."

"Don't even mention 50 billion US dollars. Even if you have 500 billion or 500 billion US dollars, you can't become the world's richest man!"

Li Yi was well aware of this. In his previous life, he had assets worth hundreds of billions and thought that there were not many people in the world who were richer than him.

But when his business expanded overseas and he gradually came into contact with the Rothschild family, the Rockefeller family, and the Walton family, he realized how ridiculous and ignorant his previous ideas were.

Take the Rothschild family for example. This family does not appear on any global wealth list, but in the upper class circles, this family is recognized as the family with the most wealth, with huge assets conservatively estimated at 50 trillion US dollars.

50 trillion or US dollars, what does this mean?
Last year, the U.S. GDP was 3.3 trillion U.S. dollars, which means that the more than 3 million people in this world's largest economy would need to work for 15 years without eating or drinking to reach such an asset scale.

As for China, its GDP last year was just over 2000 billion US dollars, trillion. Forget it, there is no comparability at all.

Therefore, Li Yi was not excited at all about the title of "the world's richest man" mentioned by Huang Lixing, Zhao Xinlan and others.

In the eyes of those hidden big families, his money is nothing. Even in their eyes, he himself is no more than a slightly bigger ant who can be destroyed with a wave of his hand.

But his words had a great impact on Huang Lixing and others. Everyone was stunned by Li Yi's words.

Although Li Yi just said a few simple words and did not reveal more details, it still made them feel that their cognition was subverted.

Seeing the expressions of several people, Li Yi smiled and said: "Okay, these things are still too far away from you, and they are not very relevant, so don't think too much about it."

"There's still more than half an hour until ten o'clock. Tell me more about the company's situation so that there won't be any mistakes during the meeting later!"

"OK."

At that moment, several people shifted the topic to the company again. But Li Yi's words just now have been remembered by Huang Lixing and others.
After the meeting in the morning, it’s almost twelve o’clock!

As soon as Li Yi returned to the office, the phone on his desk rang.

When he picked up the phone, it turned out to be Li Futiao calling. He told Li Yi that the membership meeting of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was ready and the time was set for 7 o'clock tonight in the rooftop conference room of the Emperor Hotel.

The main reason for choosing Emperor Hotel is that after two rounds of recruitment, the Chamber of Commerce has increased its membership from 32 to 118.

With so many people meeting together, neither Li Yi’s Genting No. 1 nor the Li family’s manor could accommodate them, so they had to choose to go outside.

Li Yi immediately said that he would attend on time, and then the two discussed the details of the evening meeting before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yi fell into deep thought.

Just that morning, he had convened a meeting of all the middle and senior leaders of Star Company to explain the affairs of Warwick Company and stabilize the morale of the people within the company.

More importantly, Li Yi also made detailed plans for the company's future development and pointed out the future development path of Xingchen Company.

From this moment on, the counterattack against those malicious rumors and public opinion attacks has begun.

His main purpose at the evening meeting was to appease the members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Although it has not yet been investigated who is behind the spreading of rumors and maliciously slandering Star Investment Company and the Chinese government, it is conceivable that to be able to cause such a big impact in such a short period of time, the power of the mastermind must be extremely powerful.

Facing such a powerful enemy, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce must think and work together, unite and work together to have a chance of completely defeating the other side.

At the same time, Li Yi secretly made up his mind that no matter who was doing bad things in the dark, he would make the other party pay a heavy price.

Just as Li Yi was deep in thought, there was a sudden rapid knock on the door.

"Come in!"

As the office door was pushed open, Li Yi saw Jiang Longcheng, Ye Jianhua and Zhang Zhen walking in together.

Li Yi immediately stood up and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Zhang Zhen immediately said, "Boss Li, the comrades heard that you came to Hong Kong Island and they all want to meet you. What do you think?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Longcheng also said, "Ms. Li, the comrades received last month's salary today and are very excited. You should go over and take a look!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I'm going to visit everyone at the company headquarters this afternoon!"

"That's great, let's get together tonight."

Before Jiang Longcheng could finish, Li Yi interrupted him and said, "Forget about the dinner party. I have something else to do in the evening. But you can tell your comrades that I will treat you all to dinner after I finish these few days!"

"Okay, there's no rush for this!" Jiang Longcheng said.

Li Yi nodded, and then said to Zhang Zhen: "Lao Zhang, I can only spare four hours in the afternoon to meet with everyone, you arrange it."

"Yes"
