October 2, morning.

The Forbes 2006 China Rich List was released at the same time in Beijing, Shanghai and other places.

Huang Guangyu, 37, became China's new richest man with a fortune of 18.09 billion yuan, replacing Rong Zhijian of CITIC Pacific Group, the richest man in Forbes last year.

Xu Rongmao, Rong Zhijian's family ranked second and third.

Ding Lei, the founder of NetEase, who entered the top 10 last year, and the Shanda Cheng Tianqiao family ranked 12th and 57th respectively.

Looking at the entire Internet, in addition to Ding Lei and Cheng Tianqiao, Li Yanhong, Ma Huateng, and Ma Xiaoyun have all entered the top 100.

In other words, in the top 100 rankings, Internet business people account for only five seats.

35-year-old Ma Huateng ranks 35th on the rich list with a net worth of 4.3 billion.

And 42-year-old Ma Xiaoyun also entered the top 100 of the rich list for the first time with a net worth of 2.8 billion.

Although Lin Weidong also knows very well that with his current wealth, it is impossible to reach the top 100 of the rich list.

However, Lin Weidong still read the list carefully.

It is worth mentioning that compared with last year, this year's threshold has become higher, as long as there is 1.5 billion last year, you can enter the top 100, and this year you need at least 2.4 billion to enter.

Although after the launch of the online game Honor of Kings, the valuation of Century Games has increased a lot, but Lin Weidong's net worth is similar to last year, and there is not much change.

Lin Weidong also had to sigh that if he wanted his wealth to soar sharply, he still had to rely on going public to cut leeks and leverage.

If the company is not listed, Lin Weidong feels that his net worth will never be able to catch up with Ma Xiaoyun and Ma Huateng.

No way, in Lin Weidong's opinion, there are only two goals he has to chase now, one is Ma Huateng, and the other is Ma Xiaoyun.

As for Zhang Chaoyang, who fell out of the top 100 on the rich list, he has long been no longer Lin Weidong's goal.

Seeing Lin Weidong looking at the list in a daze, Zhou Yanyan, who was wearing a suit and skirt, came over and brought him a cup of steaming coffee.

"Brother Dong, drink coffee. ”

Lin Weidong nodded, and as usual, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window with a sip of coffee, looking out of the window.

The whole city is in full view, which is indeed good, and Lin Weidong likes this feeling of looking down very much.

The phone rang.

Lin Weidong casually pressed the speakerphone, and Ye Yiqian's voice came from the mobile phone: "Master, are you working?"

Lin Weidong replied with a smile: "I'm not busy, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't contacted you for a long time, I took the car to Nanjing to perform today, and now I happen to be free in the car, and I want to chat with you. ”

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Master, I just watched the news today, and I'm on the Forbes Celebrity List, and I'm ranked 82nd on the Celebrity List. ”

After listening to Ye Yiqian's words, Lin Weidong couldn't cry or laugh a little, and said in his heart, I, who was a master, haven't been on Forbes, why did you go to the apprentice first?

Of course, Lin Weidong also knows very well that he wants to be on the Forbes rich list, and Ye Yiqian's Forbes celebrity list are two lists with completely different natures.

The Forbes Rich List, as the name suggests, compares the rich and who is richer.

The Forbes celebrity list is more famous and more influential, and generally those who can be on the list are movie stars, singers, athletes, and the like.

Ye Yiqian was able to appear on the celebrity list, mainly because the song Little Apple was able to become popular all over the country this summer, and I am very happy If this is the launch of the two hot songs of love.

However, Ye Yiqian can be on the Forbes celebrity list in such a short period of time, which is indeed a good thing worthy of affirmation.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong said with a smile: "Congratulations, Qianqian, from now on, you will slowly ask for the label of Supergirl, you are already a well-known female singer!"

Ye Yiqian on the other end of the phone replied: "Thank you, Master, I will continue to work hard, but Master, I haven't had a good rest for a few months, and every day I either perform in various places or receive notices, when will I have time to rest?"

Lin Weidong said earnestly: "Sissi, you can't rest for the time being, you are finally becoming popular now, you must strike while the iron is hot, I will see if I can push you on the stage of this year's Spring Festival Gala when the time comes." ”

Ye Yiqian heard that Lin Weidong was going to push herself onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and asked incredulously: "Ah, can I do it?"

Lin Weidong said angrily and funny: "What's not to do? Little Apple's song is so festive and so popular, when the time comes, I will help with some money, and you still have a great chance of going to the Spring Festival Gala." ”

In Ye Yiqian's ears, Lin Weidong's words were more effective than stimulants, and she suddenly felt that she was not tired at all.

Let's ask, how many singers don't want to be on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and sing in front of the people of the whole country?

"Master, I heard that CCTV doesn't seem to be very kind to see the talent show artists of Mango Channel, and I happen to be a talent show artist of Mango Channel, will they not let me be on it......"

Lin Weidong pondered for a moment and said: "Sissi, don't think so much about the Spring Festival Gala, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and I will help you find a way when the time comes." ”

"If you can get on, I'll definitely find a way to help you get on, and if you can't, it's not a big deal. ”

"Okay Master, I'll listen to you, I won't complain, I'll make up for sleep first, and I'll call you when I'm free, goodbye, Master. ”

"Well, goodbye. ”

After hanging up Ye Yiqian's phone, Lin Weidong lit a cigarette and buried himself in a high-backed leather chair.

I think at the beginning, Lin Weidong also doubted whether he could make Ye Yiqian popular.

Now that Ye Yiqian is popular, and she can be regarded as the hottest rookie singer at the moment, Lin Weidong is somewhat relieved in his heart, at least he is not busy in vain.

At this moment, Zhou Yanyan came in with the folder: "Brother Dong, please sign." ”

Lin Weidong took a serious look at it and signed the document: "Is there any other arrangement?"

"I received three banquet invitations today, and I thought about it for a while, and I am afraid that one of them cannot be shirked. ”

Lin Weidong asked suspiciously: "Who has such a big face, and even I can't refuse?"

In the entire Shanghai Tang, although Lin Weidong is not one of the top entrepreneurs, he is definitely one of the best among the younger generation, and he is a rare and angular existence.

A young and accomplished entrepreneur like Lin Weidong, let alone Shanghai, there are not a few in the whole of China.

You must know that Lin Weidong is only 27 years old now, and he is only 26 years old, and he founded three Internet companies.

Even Cheng Tianqiao, who is known as a young talent, is a full six years older than Lin Weidong, and Lin Weidong only regards him as an opponent of his peers, and does not regard him as a senior.

Therefore, Lin Weidong really can't figure it out, in Shanghai, in addition to the mayor and senior city officials, who else has a bigger face than Cheng Tianqiao?

Zhou Yanyan replied: "It's Mr. Guo of Fuxing Group." ”

Lin Weidong blurted out: "Guo Guangchang?"

Zhou Yanyan nodded: "Yes, it's him." ”

Lin Weidong thought about it, Guo Guangchang is indeed not simple, he is not an ordinary little rich man.

He had heard Ma Xiaoyun say before that this person had a huge network, not only under the members of the Taishan Society, but also as a member of the Jiangnan Association and a member of the Yangtze River College.

Thinking of this, Lin Weidong immediately opened the Forbes rich list on the table, wanting to see Guo Guangchang's ranking on the rich list.

Originally, Lin Weidong thought that Guo Guangchang's net worth was at most two or three billion, but after reading the list, he realized that this guy's net worth had reached a terrifying 9.1 billion, ranking 9th on the rich list.

Moreover, it is not the first time that Guo Guangchang has entered the top ten of the rich list, and he has been on the list for two consecutive years.

Lin Weidong has to admit that Guo Guangchang is indeed very good, at least so far, he is already one of the richest people in China.

However, Lin Weidong also wondered why Guo Guangchang invited himself to be a guest if he hadn't even been on the rich list?
