Chapter 461: The Richest Man at $70 Billion
The Forbes 2017 list was released later than in previous years, and I don't know why.
But when the list was released, it still made netizens eat a big melon.
Zhang Yida topped the list with a value of 455 billion yuan;
the second place is Xu Tingyin, 281.35 billion yuan;
the third place is Bonima, 258.18 billion yuan;
The fourth place is Jack Ma, 255.33 billion yuan.
The small target Wang Jianlin, as the richest man last year, fell to the fifth place, worth 166.82 billion yuan.
Compared with last year, Wang Jianlin's wealth has shrunk by nearly 54.28 billion yuan, due to Wanda's large-scale asset restructuring, including asset sales, and the decline in the market value of Wanda's American cinema chain AMC due to the transfer of audiences.
Of course, this is the explanation given by Forbes.
The real reason is best known only to the parties concerned.
However, everyone's eyes are not on Wang Jianlin, but on Zhang Yida.
What does it mean? At the age of 22, he became the richest man in China?
And the wealth value is as high as 455 billion yuan, nearly double that of the second place Xu Tingyin!
Some people think that this issue of Forbes' list is a bit watery, saying that Zhang Yida is a rich man, and everyone has to admit that after all, there are three listed companies in the US stock market.
But Ahri and Penguin are both companies with a market value of more than $400 billion, which company under Zhang Yida can compare?
Forbes magazine gave an explanation through the Internet, and also attached a detailed description of Zhang Yida's worth.
Ruixiang Group is valued at US$66,666.66 million, with Zhang Yida holding 34.36% of the shares, worth US$22.906 billion;
Zhonghe Group is valued at US$63.3 billion, with Zhang Yida holding 59.47% of the shares, worth US$37.645 billion;
Yimin Netgold has a market value of 7.5 billion US dollars, and Zhang Yida holds 41% of the shares, worth 3.075 billion US dollars;
Yimin Wealth has a market value of 2.8 billion US dollars, and Zhang Yida holds 30% of the shares, worth 840 million US dollars;
Yimin Loan has a market value of US$3.5 billion, with Zhang Yida holding 32% of the shares, worth US$1.12 billion;
Ruixin Group is valued at US$3 billion, with Zhang Yida holding 56.42% of the shares, worth US$1.693 billion;
Pate Holding Group is valued at $1.76 billion, with Zhang Yida holding 29.82% of the shares, worth $525 million;
Green is valued at $1.25 billion, with Zhang Yida holding 26.88% of the shares, worth $336 million;
Huimin Travel cashed out US$1,834.2 million, Yimin Netgold cashed out US$338.2 million, Yimin Loan cashed out US$109.2 million, and Yimin Wealth cashed out US$115.2 million......
The total value of 7788 and 00 is 70 billion US dollars.
At the same time, Forbes also used some more conservative words: according to incomplete statistics, Mr. Zhang Yida still has significant economic interests in companies such as Xinhuo Family Office, Huayi Capital, and Daya Media.
I have to say that Forbes' work is still very serious and meticulous, and Zhang Yida's more obvious assets have been investigated.
This is also the reason why Forbes delayed the release of the China list this year.
Originally, the list was made a few months ago, but Zhonghe Group announced a huge amount of financing.
After changing the list for the better, Ruixiang Group announced a huge amount of financing.
Then Zhonghe Group made mergers and acquisitions all the way and increased its internal capital, which was very penguin and the mobile game PUBG launched became popular all over the country......
In order to ensure the authority of the list, Forbes could only wait for Zhang Yida to finish tossing, and at the end of December, it launched this 17-year list.
In fact, they still want to wait, but time is no longer waiting for anyone, it will be 18 years soon, and they can't drag it on, so they can only release the list.
According to the net worth of 70 billion US dollars, Zhang Yida will surpass Li Jiacheng, who is worth more than 30 billion US dollars, and become the richest Chinese in the world.
In the world, it is second only to Bill Gates, who is worth $86 billion, Warren Buffett who is worth $75.6 billion, Jeff Bezos who is worth $72.8 billion, and Amancio Ortega, who is worth $71.3 billion.
Ranked 5th in the world and 1st in Asia!
Behind Zhang Yida, the sixth in the world is Zuckerberg, who is worth $56 billion.
Zhang Yida also stepped on Xiao Mazi this time, which shocked not only domestic netizens, but also foreign countries.
The Chinese are squeezed into the top ten in the world on the rich list, and the last one is Li Jiacheng, who is seventy or eighty.
No rich Chinese has ever been in the top five in the world, and he is still so young.
People are curious not only about his wealth, but also about his youth.
Many media in Europe and the United States took advantage of this wave of popularity and published several issues of newspapers and media programs introducing Zhang Yida.
"22 years old", "self-made", "beyond Zuckerberg", "the richest young man in the world", ...... A series of labels were attached to Zhang Yida.
Zhang Yida is also the first time to be so famous in the world, and he is famous for the title of the fifth richest man in the world that he never imagined.
Some people praise it, and of course some people step on it!
Some people say that Zhang Yida has a lot of wealth, and his worth of more than $60 billion comes from two unlisted companies - Ruixiang and Zhonghe.
Valuation is an ethereal thing, it will rise when it says it rises, and it falls when it falls!
Some people retorted, what if it goes public?
And just like that, a debate unfolded over the valuation of the primary market and the market capitalization of the secondary market.
The battlefield has changed from Weibo to Zhihu, from Doushi to Kuaishou, from traditional media to new media.
Abroad, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other platforms are also discussing.
Whether it's text, pictures, or videos, all kinds of content creators are taking advantage of this wave of popularity.
Most people still recognize Zhang Yida's worth, at least this year.
Within a few months, Zhonghe Group has completed two rounds of financing of $4.5 billion + $2 billion, acquired a series of companies such as Kuaishou and Xiaohongshu, and launched a PUBG mobile game, and the situation is very good!
Therefore, this year's Zhonghe Group is still worth $63.3 billion!
As for the back, look at the market environment, the company's business, and market share before drawing conclusions.
Ruixiang is the same, completing a round of financing of $6,666.66 million, which is the world's best, setting a global record, and the valuation is also very tenable.
And the investment structure is not a pheasant investment bank, with 18 top funds, all of which are famous.
At first, when he heard that Forbes listed himself as the richest man in China, the richest Chinese in the world, and the richest man in Asia, Zhang Yida was still a little angry and even uneasy.
Suddenly standing so tall all of a sudden, he was still a little unprepared.
But Lu Qi comforted him: "Our eyes are on the world, and Forbes praises you so much, which is a good thing, and it will greatly increase your popularity in the world."
The European and American markets, and even Europeans and Americans, have always respected the strong.
You've shown your financial resources, and our next globalization will be much smoother. ”
That said, no problem.
But Zhang Yida is a little worried about the situation in China, and the position of the richest man is not so easy to sit on.
From the leaders to the common people, the whole society may be paying attention to you.
You're doing well, that's of course a halo bonus, and a fart is fragrant.
The small goal is 100 million, and 996 is a blessing...... Everyone thinks it makes sense.
But once there is a negative, there is also a reaction aura.
From Chen Tianqiao, to Huang Guangyu, to Wang Jianlin, they either hit the street, went to prison, or were severely injured.
After sitting in the position of the richest man, you will be careful again and again in your words and deeds.
After becoming the richest man, Zhang Yida instantly felt all kinds of changes around him.
The first change came from overseas, and the three major global record labels, Universal, Sony, and Warner, which had been struggling to negotiate, suddenly relented.
Each sent an invitation letter, the letter was sincere, and Zhang Yida was invited to go to the United States to discuss the plan!
Zhang Yida thinks that foreign devils are definitely not kind, don't look at your wealth and want to kill yourself, right?
