Chapter 918 2004 Forbes Rich List
"That's a good situation!
As soon as the server was launched yesterday, there were nearly 3 million players!
And I counted that as of now, there are more than 4.3 million players on the free server.
What's even more to celebrate is that the payment rate is even better than we expected!
More than 1.1 million players have already paid more or less, accounting for 25 percent!
The revenue has exceeded 30 million!
It seems that our forever free this time is very promising!"
Tencent, the head of the QQ Triumph project team is reporting to everyone excitedly.
Brother Xiao Ma nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes! It seems that we have taken the right step here! This free model is very suitable for our user group." In the future, all our games can adopt this model of charging for free props in the game. ”
The penguin, who was cornered, really found a suitable path for himself by mistake.
Of course, just relying on Triumph is a game that can't feed penguins, at most it is to make their financial reports look better.
They also need to accelerate the pace of introducing games and self-developed games to open up more monetization channels for their traffic.
Otherwise, the year-end financial report will still not look good.
In the past, investors may not have paid much attention to short-term revenue for Internet companies, but more to long-term development.
But after the advent of Facebook, that notion has been shaken.
Because everyone has found that if the company is good enough, it can be profitable in a short period of time.
And most of the companies that can't make a profit for a long time are not very good......
............
At the beginning of November, a grand press conference was being held at the Sheraton Modu Hotel.
This is the second edition of the Forbes Rich List hosted by Forbes magazine.
Journalists from major media across the country gathered.
Because this list represents wealth!
And wealth, in this period, is the most attractive topic.
Although everyone knows that the richest man of this session should have no doubts.
It must be Yu Wenfei!
If it were someone else, then this Forbes rich list would be meaningless, and no one would believe it.
Now the key question is, how much money does Yuwenfei have!
How high is his net worth!
Also, can Yu Wenfei win the richest Chinese in the world this year, or even rank first on the global rich list.
These are the issues that everyone is most concerned about.
............
Forbes Group, Forbes Chinese edition editor-in-chief Zhou Peng, appeared on the stage in a straight suit.
This also means that the rich list will be officially announced.
After the opening remarks, let's get to the point.
They didn't do anything from the last place to the first place, so they made a fool of themselves, but directly typed out the list.
This year's rich list appears on a huge projection screen.
The first place, without a doubt, is Yu Wenfei!
When I saw the number representing net worth behind Yu Wenfei's name, there was a commotion in the venue.
"Oh my God, is it so high?"
"That's a bit outrageous, isn't it? Is there a mistake?"
"This ...... This can be in the top few of the world's richest list!"
"Sure enough, it's still Mr....... Fei, the gap between the next few and him is too big!"
It's no wonder that everyone is so surprised, because behind Yu Wenfei's name, it is impressively displayed "32 billion US dollars"!
Surprise is surprise, but in fact, everyone has been mentally prepared.
Not to mention $32 billion, even if it is more, everyone can understand it.
In the past year, other companies have not talked about it.
Because they are not listed, it is difficult to know how much those companies are worth.
However, Facebook is a listed company, and its market value is in everyone's eyes.
Facebook's stock price has been rising since it went public!
With the launch of various new technologies on Facebook, the company's revenue is increasing day by day, and the stock price is also rising with the tide.
A few days ago, Facebook's total market capitalization was as high as $45 billion!
Just counting the shares of Facebook, Yu Wenfei's net worth is as high as more than 20 billion US dollars!
............
Zhou Peng stood on the stage, looking at the commotion under the stage, and naturally knew what everyone was surprised about.
He smiled and said, "Everyone, calm down, I know that many people are surprised by Mr. Fei's net worth." Actually, I was also surprised, not that it was too high, but that it was too low!"
This sentence successfully attracted everyone's attention.
Just kidding!
On this rich list, Yu Wenfei's net worth is basically equal to the next ninety-nine people combined......
Why is it still too low?
Zhou Peng continued unhurriedly: "There are many so-called answers to the speculation about how much Mr. Fei's net worth is.
However, after an in-depth investigation by our team, we found that the numbers guessed by everyone were wrong!
Because everyone underestimates Mr. Fei too much!
The reason why we only mark 32 billion on the list is because these are well documented!
However, there are still many unlisted companies under Mr. Fei, and even the financial reports have not been made public.
And when we wanted to do an interview, we were unfortunately refused.
Therefore, the value of those enterprises is not counted.
Because of this, I said that Mr. Fei's net worth is still underestimated!
If I had to be bold enough to say a number, I would probably say ......"
Everyone in the audience held their breath, not knowing what kind of number Zhou Peng would report.
And Zhou Peng, deliberately selling Guanzi, slowly stretched out a palm.
I looked at it myself, and felt that it was not enough, so I bent the three fingers in the middle again, and only stretched out my thumb and little finger.
Many female reporters were at a loss and didn't know what they meant.
But the male reporter reacted immediately, and many people exclaimed.
"Six tens of billions of dollars!"
"No way, that's an exaggeration!"
"That's definitely $60 billion!" ......
Zhou Peng also said affirmatively: "Yes, it's 60 billion dollars!"
Later, he also explained, "Just one Facebook network has brought more than 20 billion wealth to Mr. Fei."
And this year, Facebook North America is booming, and the future prospects are no less than that of Facebook Continental.
As for Facebook, I consulted a lot of experts in the investment world.
Everyone agrees that if this company goes public, its market value will definitely not be lower than Facebook!
In addition, Mr. Fei also owns WeChat Technology, Facebook Mutual Finance Company, Star Electronics Group, etc.!
For those companies, because the financial reports are not public, we can't speculate on the specific value.
But obviously, they are also very potential unicorn companies.
Add up those companies, and they can still be as good as a Facebook Internet café.
That's why I said that Mr. Fei's net worth is more than $60 billion!"
............
The figure of $60 billion means, the people present do not know yet.
A few days later, after the Forbes Global Rich List was announced, everyone woke up in shock......
