Rebirth

As Li Feng has stabilized, his business has not stopped. Recently, Li Feng has often been on the front pages of business magazines and newspapers. There is no way. Recently, Li Feng's media group in the industry has gained a lot.

In addition to CAA, Weta Digital, and Blackwater, it previously included the acquisition of Forbes Magazine, record companies, etc., but Li Feng also knew from the briefing that no one knew about the acquisition of Forbes, the rest were announced.

Speaking of so much, in fact, it didn't cost much, and the total cost of the entire media group was several hundred million dollars.

For example, the acquisition of JIVE Records cost 150 million U.S. dollars, reaching 70% of the holding, Forbes spent 220 million U.S. dollars, reaching 60% of the holding, etc. (in memory, the previous Forbes transferred the Forbes Group twice in the new century, the price There are not several hundred million US dollars), and now the media group has enough strength to eat these enterprises as a powerful supplement to enterprises.

Naturally, Barry was still discussing whether to buy several influential newspapers, but he was directly rejected by Li Feng. Li Feng directly told Barry that he was not optimistic about the future development of newspapers.

Li Feng is very clear, especially with the development of the Internet, the newspaper industry is about to face huge losses, but those influential magazines are good.

For example, professional financial magazines, fashion magazines, etc. This is why Li Feng told Barry before that he would mainly buy magazines that he had heard of in his previous life.

...

As for newspapers, Li Feng thought that when those newspapers were facing huge losses in the future, he would show up in the form of a savior. That would be the time to buy newspapers.

In fact, Li Feng knew very well that these newspapers would not be able to make a lot of money at that time. Don’t you see it like the traditional Hearst Group, which was the king of newspapers in the United States and the world at first. After that, it’s not mainly publishing. Mainly magazines, books, etc., probably not many newspapers.

However, Li Feng did not expect newspapers to make money. The main reason is influence. Don't underestimate the influence of newspapers that have been running for decades or even hundreds of years.

There have not always been rumors in the previous life. It seems that many newspapers are facing huge losses every year. As a result, the newspapers are sold off, and many are even given out for free, or even posted upside down, as long as someone is willing to take over.

Li Feng had thought about it a long time ago. When the Internet has become the mainstream in later generations, when the traditional newspapers are almost out of business, he will buy several influential newspapers.

When the time comes, it will not be the case that they are begging for the acquisition themselves, but the bigwigs who own newspapers begging for the acquisition.

Just as Li Feng was yelling in his heart, every day when he wandered between the girls and was reluctant to think about it, no, some people might not be able to stand it anymore, and the ringing of the telephone that followed remembered.

...

"Hello, Steve, I'm glad to receive your call, what's the matter?"

"What, this year's annual Forbes Global Rich List is coming out?"

"My ranking is very high. Do you want to scare the United States and the world?"

"It's not so exaggerated. It's estimated that Bill Gates is almost 20 billion, right?"

"OK, don't rush to send it out. Send me a copy. I will check my situation first and see if your statistics are accurate."

"OK, you can just send my email, I will read it right away, and I will call you when I finish reading it."

"So be it, bye!"

Yes, this is a call from Steve Forbes, the president of Forbes who has just been acquired by himself, saying that this year’s global rich list is about to be announced, but after all, now Li Feng has become his nominal boss, so he said it was first to give Li Feng glanced over.

Well, let’s be honest, although the Forbes rich list will be rumored every year in future generations, who remembers when it was released, it will be released in June now, and they don’t know what they think.

In Li Feng's vision, since it is a one-year rich list, it has to be released at the end of the year. Now it is only in the middle of the year that this is the 96 rich list, which is really a bit misleading.

...

Hearing Li Feng’s call, the two assistants who were playing games with Li Feng also became interested. They immediately walked to Li Feng’s office and watched with interest the rich list sent by Steve Forbes. coming.

After all, for ordinary people, the annual rich list is still very attractive, and the list that has not been released now is directly in front of oneself, and that kind of satisfaction is definitely beyond normal.

Li Feng did not stop the two from watching, and he immediately opened the list through the computer.This time I sent two lists, one in 1995 and one in 1996 this year. The data can be compared.

Li Feng found that most of these super-rich people have greatly increased their total wealth, which also proves the rapid development of the global economy.

First of all, the first to see Li Feng's familiar name, Bill Gates, was the world's richest man with 18.5 billion US dollars. Li Feng was not surprised at this point.However, Li Feng was a little surprised at only 18.5 billion. After all, according to his more than 40% of Microsoft shares, it is absolutely more than 20 billion. After seeing Forbes statistics, Li Feng knew that Gates had cashed out a lot last year.

According to past life memory, if history does not change, Li Feng knows that after Bill became the richest man for the first time in 1995, he will become the richest man for 13 consecutive years. It seems that he lost the position of the richest man in 2008, and then he started to be the first. A few hovered.

Naturally, Li Feng knew that Bill would cash out some of his shares every year, but the cash out had not risen fast yet, and eventually the wealth did continue to increase. As for the cash out, they all went into the so-called charity fund.

It seems that as of 2017, 23 times from 1995 to 2017, it seems that he was elected the richest man 18 times, and he is indeed a Niu Cha character.

As for whether there can be accidents in this life, it depends on my next ability, Li Feng thought proudly in his heart.

...

Next, the old mother of the Walton family ranked second, Buffett third, and fourth Li Feng saw an unexpected name, that is the rich man of Xiangjiang, the "four uncle" Li Zhaoji.

The old man is ranked fourth with a net worth of US$12.7 billion. Li Feng is really not sure about this. I did not expect the ranking to be so high. Li Feng found that he seemed to be a good old man last year. He ranked 13th, but this year is suddenly big. There was a wave.

In fact, what Li Feng didn't know was that Mr. Li Zhaoji was elected as the richest Chinese man for two consecutive years in 1996 and 1997, and was ranked fourth in 1997. After that, the richest Chinese man was replaced by Li Jiacheng.

Next, Li Feng saw a lot of Chinese wealthy people familiar with him in his previous life, most of them in Hong Kong, TW, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. These wealthy people are very wealthy. Among the top 10 Chinese wealthy people, the lowest is more than 7 billion US dollars. , The rankings in the rich list are very high.

For example, Xiangjiang's "Shuang Li", the Guo brothers, Guo Henian of New World, and TW's Cai Wanlin, etc., these are even the most famous Chinese wealthy families.

In general, the wealth gap between the richest people on the list is not too big, unlike the first place in the future generations, which are almost at 80 billion or 9 billion, falling very quickly. Today, the richest person is only 18.5 billion. A group of big brothers are also more than 10 billion.

...

As he kept scrolling down, Li Feng finally found his name. At the same time, Forbes also helped himself to liquidate his assets. Although Li Feng laughed all over the place after seeing it, he said he was about the list. The'mocking'.
