Who is Hu Yan?

Born in Luxembourg in 70, graduated from a university in London in 93, the only difference from other ordinary people is that during the university in 90, Hu Yan went to Renmin University for a year of further study, and after graduation, he engaged in the same accounting industry as his father. With the advantage of Chinese, Hu Yan came to Arthur Andersen in Shanghai from London in 97, initially hoping to return to England to become a middle-class man after a few years of struggle in China.

In 99, Hu Yan began to use his spare time and vacation to consult more than 100 newspapers, magazines and announcements of listed companies, and after several months of tossing and turning, he finally ranked the first wealth list in the history of China in line with international standards.

In order for people to know about such a list, and thus to know the people who made it, Hu Yan clearly knew that he had to find an influential way to spread it. So, he approached Forbes magazine.

Although Hu Yan knew from the beginning that the cooperation with Forbes was only "one time", he has always been a freelance writer outside the system, and the ranking was only introduced to Europe and the United States, and had almost no influence in China. But for Mr. Hu, it was crucial that the results of a survey representing China's wealth rankings were acknowledged by Forbes, which has a global reach.

In the millennium, the successive reports of the domestic media suddenly exposed the "first generation of rich people in China" to the public's field of vision. "Where does the rich get their money?" has become the most vehemently asked question from all levels of society.

In 01, Hu Yan resigned from Arthur Andersen's job and reprinted "Forbes magazine chief researcher in China" on his business card, and received the tacit approval of Forbes. He expanded the number of people on the rich list to 100.

Generally speaking, this foreigner, who has almost single-handedly broken into the world of domestic wealthy people, has been wearing different "halos" for the rich in his way - the richest man in charity, the richest man in real estate, etc., whether these rich people are willing or not. In fact, in the humble atmosphere of Confucius and Mencius, who are not accustomed to "showing the dew of the mountains" in China, this kind of flamboyant "rich list" has become the darling of public opinion because of its novelty since it appeared.

In the past three years, it has attracted more and more people's attention, and Zhao Fusheng even knows that even after more than ten years, it can be said that it will be prosperous for a long time, and the founder Hu Yan has also become famous. Years later, the war in the wealth ranking intensified, his name even became a brand that even children knew, and he began to develop the brand's feeder industry, in other words, this foreigner who was accustomed to evaluating Chinese eventually supported himself.

But Zhao Fusheng didn't expect that Fan Baobao would also pay attention to this thing.

"What are you laughing at?" Seeing that Zhao Fusheng didn't pay attention to what he meant, Fan Baobao glared at him and asked puzzledly.

Zhao Fusheng's face was full of innocence: "I can't laugh, can you be reasonable." ”

"Humph!"

Fan Baobao snorted quite dissatisfied, wrinkled his nose and said to Zhao Fusheng: "What's the matter, do you think what that magazine said is wrong? I see that the head written on it is the Tao, except that it doesn't introduce you." ”

"Really?" This time it was Zhao Fusheng's turn to be a little surprised.

"Well, it said that Shengda Technology merged with the largest virtual community in China from the beginning, and then when buying the Korean game company, it also got the help of a mysterious person. According to the information revealed by Shengda, it was a shareholder who did not want to be named. ”

Fan Baobao said with a smile: "I knew as soon as I guessed that it must be you." ”

Zhao Fusheng laughed, he originally thought that Hu Yan would get some inside information from Chen Tianqiao, but now it seems that Mr. Hu Yan's reputation in China is limited to the eyes of some people.

To put it bluntly, even if he comes up with this so-called rich list that is almost sensational, he is still nothing in the eyes of those rich people on the list.

Otherwise, these materials about Shengda Technology cannot only be the data circulated on the Internet or in the media news.

To put it bluntly, Hu Yan probably hasn't seen Chen Tianqiao.

Thinking about the character of Chen Shoufu, Zhao Fusheng really thinks it is very possible.

That guy, like himself, doesn't like media interviews and doesn't like to show his head, otherwise he wouldn't have decisively delisted and privatized the company after going public to make money.

"This Hu Yan is really powerful...... Fan Baobao said with emotion on his face: "He has counted the assets of so many rich people, and he has analyzed them all." ”

Obviously, in the hearts of girls, people like Hu Yan are definitely media elites.

Zhao Fusheng smiled, shook his head and said, "You, don't be deceived by him." Let me tell you, the people on this rich list, he has seen a quarter of them, and most of the information is found by himself. Add some random analysis to make this list. To be honest, a lot of the things on this list are actually inaccurate. ”

"Fake?"

Fan Baobao was stunned and asked in surprise.

Zhao Fusheng waved his hand: "It's not a question of whether it's fake or not, but that his statistical method is problematic." Moreover, the habit of our Chinese people is not to show their wealth, and many rich people would rather keep a low profile and let people know nothing than expose themselves. Hu Yan only knew how many Chinese billionaires he dared to rank the rich without shame. ”

"The so-called 100 richest list is just good-looking at best, and it doesn't mean anything at all. In the end, Zhao Fusheng made a definition of the so-called Hu Yan Baifu List.

Fan Baobao is still a little skeptical, after all, in her opinion, the thing Hu Yan wrote in the magazine is already very accurate, how can it become meaningless grandstanding in Zhao Fusheng's mouth?

At this time, Zhang Qian's voice came from the front: "What Fusheng said makes sense, not to mention anything else, he didn't even investigate the relationship between Fusheng and Shengda Technology." ”

Fan Baobao was speechless suddenly, Zhang Qian was right, Hu Yan couldn't even investigate the relationship between Zhao Fusheng and Shengda, and actually guessed in the magazine that Zhao Fusheng held at least 20% of Shengda's shares in his hands, which even Fan Baobao couldn't get over.

"But seriously, this list is actually quite interesting, this Hu Yan is a talent. ”

Zhao Fusheng's fingers tapped lightly on the car window and spoke.

He said this from his heart, Hu Yan was able to go from an ordinary accountant who didn't know anything, and he thought of using the "Forbes" rich list to make a name for these rich people in China, and he can be regarded as a talent.

You know, although this list is very watery, it is actually useful for many people.

Not admitting defeat and pursuing fame is probably also a human instinct, and for the sake of this instinct, there must be people who care extremely about this ranking.

To put it bluntly, fame!

Very nihilistic?

Just a name?

Nothing works?

If you think so, then you are very wrong.

Why Forbes? Why Hu?

What do they publish the rankings for? Do they let everyone know who is rich in the world for free? Do the people who make the list just let everyone know their names and faces?

Definitely not, because it is profitable.

What does Forbes make money on?

It's certainly not made for free. What ordinary people see is the ranking list it makes, but behind this list, there is the carrier that carries it. Forbes is actually a well-known publishing and media group, they have the world's best-selling magazines, control the publication of a large number of books, after they have become well-known, advertising fees, copyright fees, agency fees and many other unexpected income we can expect will continue to come, over the years, it has become a world giant.

And those celebrities, their names and faces appear on the most authoritative list, which is more effective than any media advertisement, which will make people memorable, invisibly enhance the brand value and market value of their enterprises, and affect the consumption and even ideas of ordinary people.

Obviously, Hu Yan's ambition is not small, and he wants to be China's Forbes.

Zhao Fusheng didn't have any idea about this, for him, there were too many opportunities, if he wanted to make money, Zhao Fusheng didn't look down on Hu Yan's way of operating, but he was not interested in this kind of operation.

Just like the so-called Harper's Bazaar charity dinner, in the end, it's just a show of taking what you need. Organizers need fame, and celebrities need a chance to show the so-called philanthropic heart.

As for the so-called tearing and the like, who donates more and who donates less, who should sit where and where he should stand, to put it bluntly, has been detached from the essence of charity.

When doing good deeds becomes a means of making a profit and seeking fame, things have already deteriorated. Not to mention, how much of the money raised was implemented, and how many were willingly donated by celebrities.

After all, the use of moral kidnapping to force donations, more than ten years later, is nothing new.

Even Louis Koo has encountered fans claiming that they are in difficulty and need him to donate a million.

Beep like a dog......

That's a long way off.

Back to the topic, although Zhao Fusheng is interested in Hu Run, he is more curious, he feels that it is not easy for a foreigner to make a name for himself in China with his bare hands.

"If it's a talent, you can inquire and see if he is willing to help you. Fan Baobao heard Zhao Fusheng's words, and hurriedly said: "I don't know where it is, it would be better if we were northerners." ”

Yes?

Zhao Fusheng was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, looked at Fan Baobao, and didn't say anything for a long time.

Fan Baobao was a little inexplicable, seeing Zhao Fusheng's reaction, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out, did she say something wrong?

PS: Thanks to the idiot's reward, today continues to break out three more. In addition, to be honest, I only found out last year that Hurun is a foreigner. And I have to say that Harper's Bazaar tearing is really losing points, I remember one year, it was Guo Degang who donated the most, but the media was full of reports from those traffic stars, which was like a dog.
