Chapter 338: Consummation
Companies with holdings in hand have gone public, and Internet companies that have previously bought a portion of their shares have seen their stock prices rise as the winter recovers. Combined, the cumulative wealth value of Gu Kun this year has increased by more than 20 billion US dollars.
Among them, Ahri Baba's listing contributed more than 15 billion US dollars, Huang Yi's stock price recovery contributed 4 billion yuan, and crowd online games contributed 2 or 3 billion yuan.
In addition, a few years ago, Gu Kun already had assets of 40 to 50 billion US dollars after removing oil assets, plus the new 20 billion yuan, plus the Lanfang oilfield worth hundreds of billions of US dollars (after removing the interests of CNOOC, only the net rights and interests attributable to Lanfang are counted),
As of the beginning of August 2005, the sum of the family wealth of Gu Kun and the Lanfang royal family has reached as much as 1600~180 billion US dollars.
The individual billionaires of listed companies all over the world, the rich on the surface, in terms of asset scale, no longer have Gu Kun's opponent.
Of course, those invisible rich, or the royal family of the Middle East oil dogs who don't need to be listed, must have more wealth than him-
For example, the Abu Dhabi consortium is the royal asset of the Abu Dhabi city-state, and the vast majority of the equity belongs to the royal family, and only a small amount of management shares are distributed to professional managers, and this consortium has assets of more than $500 billion in 2008 at the peak of oil prices. (Based on the price of the same price at the time they bought the club)
And the Saudi Aramco oil company, which is a big dog, is a company that is completely privatized by the royal family, and its asset valuation can reach $2 trillion when oil prices peaked in 08.
Of course, it's 2005, and there's still a lot of way to go from the peak of oil prices in '08, and now the valuation of the Abu Dhabi consortium is more than $300 billion, and Saudi Aramco's oil is between $13,000 and $1.5 trillion.
Compared with the big oil dogs who have a good life these days, there is still a gap between Gu Kun and the Lan Fang royal family, and they must rely on hard work to make up for their clumsiness.
Of course, in fact, Gu Kun's wealth is more than what he said earlier - the so-called 16 to 180 billion yuan does not count the value added of the global luxury brands he has held and controlled in the past three years. It also does not take into account the profits of tourism and other shopping in the past few years.
Gu Kun has too much money to count, so he hasn't checked the accounts once a year, and the kind of small profits of more than a billion dollars a year and a small value-added of billions of dollars a year have not been taken to heart at all.
If you really want to calculate the accounts, it is estimated that the Gucci Group, which was valued at nearly 10 billion US dollars a few years ago, is now worth 178 billion yuan, which should be the most value-added for many brands under Gu Kun.
Giorgio Armani is a little bit closer, maybe it will increase by two billion dollars in three years, but fortunately, Gu Kun's shareholding in Giorgio Armani is higher. As for Cartier's jewelry, the market value should have risen from seven or eight billion US dollars to more than 10 billion.
In the end, the value-added operations of several major luxury brands in recent years can be attributed to Gu Kun's rights and interests, as well as dividends, with a cumulative total of no less than 15 billion US dollars.
In addition, the benefits brought by Lanfang's tourism and duty-free shopping paradise belong to Gu Kun and the royal family, and the annual profit is more than one billion dollars.
Therefore, if you count all the assets of Gu Kun and the royal family, the total amount should be about 180 million to 200 billion US dollars. Gu Kun was still low-key and didn't want to attract more hatred, so he was reluctant to say that the total wealth of him and the royal family exceeded 200 billion.
It's not a listed company, so it's good to make a lot of money in a muffled voice.
In addition, the income from tourism and shopping is only calculated as part of Gu Kun's direct sales. In fact, in recent years, the private hotel industry, tourism and shopping industry, and entertainment industry have also developed very rapidly.
Gu Kun actually didn't want to compete with the people for profit in essence, in the early years, he did everything himself, which was also a model for the people of Lanfang, and also considering that Lanfang was too poor in the early days, and the private capital was not enough to start up.
Over the years, as ordinary people in Lanfang have also been brought up by Gu Kun to become rich, those industries with no technical content, difficult to monopolize, and relatively low profit margins, Gu Kun has chosen "Gu retreats and advances" with relative concessions to promote free development.
Gu Kun's eating appearance is already very good-looking, which is due to his declining interest in money.
The creativity of the Chinese in how to serve the rich to eat, drink and be merry is endless. Who wouldn't do the business of serving?
Without Gu Kun's involvement, Lanfang's tourism and entertainment industry has become more and more blooming, and the patterns have been renovated, which has always made rich Chinese tourists and Japanese and Korean tourists linger and shout that it is not in vain.
Lanfang's permanent population, including foreign workers, has also more than doubled in recent years. In 02, the nationality population was only 70,000, and the labor force such as foreign workers was about 300,000.
Now, according to mid-2005 figures, the permanent population has exceeded 500,000. However, the nationality population is still very stuck, an increase of one or two thousand people compared with 02 - this is all due to the strict naturalization rules and regulations of the Lantian side, it must be a person born in the territory of the Lantian side, and both parents are citizens of the Lantian side, and the child born can be a Lantian nationality.
In order to suppress the national population and reduce the welfare, Gu Kun even took advantage of the original situation of more men and fewer women in Lanfang (after all, compared to the benefits that Gu Kun used the Lanfang oil field to give to nationalized people, the taxes they paid were almost negligible. Gu Kun's way of making the royal family live well and be supported forever is to give high treatment to all nationalized locals. As for the labor force that does the work, it doesn't matter, those people are foreign workers)
As we all know, Chinese culture has a consistent patriarchal problem, and the poorer the place, the more patriarchal it is. When Lan Fang did not discover oil and did not develop tourism resources before, because of poverty, there was also a problem that there were more men than women, just because the country was too small and the population was too small, and it didn't matter if there were not enough girls.
Since Gu Kun began to rise in 94 and Lan Fang gradually became rich and strong after 96 years, it has actually been nine years since then. Nine years is less than half a generation, so the demographic structure of Lanfang has not changed much.
Those poor people who don't care about the nationality of their children, with Gu Kun's massive introduction of hairy girls from countries such as Hacker Lan and Lucia, because the locals with nationality have welfare to make a house and money, and they also have a rented room in a state-run hotel to collect rent, they have immediately become a sought-after sweet and sweet spot for single and innocent foreign girls.
Many local men who marry girls of Lan nationality who have no hope and can't grab them marry Mao Niu, or Chinese girls who come from China to break into the world, and then their children naturally lose their Lan nationality and can only follow the nationality of the maternal side.
All in all, Lan Fang's one-third of an acre of land has been properly packed up by Gu Kun in the past few years.
......
It's a bit far.
After Ahri Baba went public, Gu Kun spent a while in Xiangjiang for a while, and rushed back to Lanfang before the end of July.
The reason why I want to come back on such a hot day is because my wife Zhu Youran can't wait - Zhu Youran was pregnant at the end of last year, in fact, when Gu Kun went north to deal with the listing business at the end of June, she was already seven or eight months pregnant. When Gu Kun rushed back to Lanfang, Zhu Youran had already been eight and a half months.
Therefore, no matter how hot it is, you have to stay up, especially pregnant women are not suitable for air conditioning, for the health of his wife and children, Gu Kun chose to settle Zhu Youran in a water hall in the Yongxi Palace, which was completely completed last year.
Yongxi Palace was started in 2001, and now it is 2005, of course, it has been repaired a long time ago, and even the decoration has been thoroughly done last year. Yongxi Palace covers an area of dozens of hectares, which is equivalent to half the area of the Forbidden City. (Just the area, the specifications are not over-controlled, because most of the buildings of Yongxi Palace are modern style, and there is no problem of over-regulation because of antique imitation of eaves, structure, and columns.) )
Such a large palace room is naturally indispensable with some water halls, that is, the house is surrounded by pools, and there are water pumped to the roof and drenched down like a cascade waterfall, which is much more elegant than any Xiongxi flowing water villa.
Considering that the tropical pond water itself is prone to being too hot, Yongxigong uses groundwater pumped from below the coral sand layer on the seabed, and although it is salt water, it is no problem to circulate to cool down. At most, the heat dissipation copper pipe is corroded, and then a batch is replaced every few years.
In order to facilitate the replacement, the supporting pipelines of the entire waterscape are specially made into a more modular design, and it is very convenient to replace.
In addition, in order to ensure that the water that constitutes the water feature in Yongxi Palace is clear enough, Gu Kun also asked the construction team from Huaxia to dredge the entire two kilometers of coastline near Yongxi Palace, and dig up all the silt and humus on the seabed, and the dredge width is more than 500 meters, that is, the total area is one square kilometer. The two kilometres, 500 metres wide, were then re-covered with sifted white coral sand.
Although the quality of the beaches on the main island of Lan Fang is far inferior to the Galloping Horse Atoll, which is dozens of nautical miles away from the mouth of the Sarawak River, with Gu Kun's financial resources, it is absolutely easy to toss the beach in front of the palace?
All the water features in Yongxi Palace are from the deep place below the water purification filter layer of white coral sand, and then extract the seawater that seeps down to create landscaping, which is naturally beautiful.
Zhu Youran lives in such a cool and luxurious world-class palace to raise a baby and wait for childbirth, so he doesn't need to think about the problem of "how to spend time without air conditioning in the hottest weather of more than 40 degrees in summer".
Gu Kun stayed at home with his wife for a month, and at the end of August and early September, the imperial doctor who gave physical examinations every day finally came to report, saying that the county master was about to give birth.
It seems that the child is a Virgo.
"Serve well, if the son is born successfully, the medical staff will each reward at least one million dollars, and the chief surgeon will have an additional reward. ”
