394 [The richest man in the world]

Jerry, do you know who the richest man in the world is?"

"I know that. ”

"It's American oil tycoon Paul Getty!"

"How do you know?"

"Well, you'll know by reading this weekly. ”

Since the "London Financial Weekly" published various financial lists, with the fermentation of time, some people think that there are many people who are richer than the world's richest man Paul Getty, and some people think that Financial Weekly exaggerates Paul Getty's wealth, but no matter what, people all over Britain are talking about the topic of the world's richest man.

In addition to discussing that the richest man in the world is an American, there are also many people who try to find the richest person in Britain, from the wealth list, power list...... went to the family wealth list, looked back and forth, and found that except for the Queen of England in the top ten of the power list, there was no rich person who occupied the top ten of the list of personal wealth, family wealth and so on.

This made it a little difficult for the British, who were an old empire, to accept.

It stands to reason that whether it is the Age of Discovery, or the colonial era, Britain is worthy of the title of the empire on which the sun never sets, but since entering World War II, Britain has begun to set in terms of influence, military power, and economic system.

Especially in the 70s, Britain's economy in the past three years can be described as a trough cake, on the other hand, the United States and the Soviet Union have successfully landed on the moon, and the other is still implementing the plan to dig through the earth, but Britain has never had any scientific and technological breakthroughs, and is still worried about the people's livelihood economy.

This made the British frustrated, and at the same time, they scolded the incompetence of the government.

The most interesting thing is that some newspapers, after obtaining permission, also published this series of lists, and even called on the rich people in Britain and the rich families to work hard to make money, and install the name of the world's richest man in Britain as soon as possible.

Good fellows, you must know that in the early years the British were very hateful of the rich!

Who would have thought that the sudden appearance of the financial personal wealth list would provoke the recognition of the rich by the British.

If the big red flower is popular in Britain, I believe that those wealthy businessmen will be happy to award the editor-in-chief of this weekly a bright red flower.

......

Soon, with the rapid popularity of the "Financial Wealth List" in the UK, Huang Junyu and Evans also authorized these lists to newspapers and weekly magazines in many European countries at a very fast speed, and in just half a month, most of Europe began to discuss the world's richest man like the UK!

On the other side of the ocean in the United States, the "Los Angeles Morning Post" also received a fax from the headquarters as soon as possible, and asked the people from the printing house to publish a series of lists in the newspaper that night.

Inside a well-known oil company in the United States.

Paul Getty was drinking afternoon tea while talking to his secretary about his itinerary for the last few days.

When Paul Getty was about to let the secretary out, he saw her squirming and asked curiously, "Is there anything else?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment, but still pulled out a newspaper from the folder in his hand and handed it to his desk, "Mr. Getty, this is the news from yesterday's Los Angeles Morning News." ”

"What's the big news in the Los Angeles Morning News?" Paul Getty picked up the newspaper suspiciously, and when he saw that it was a wealth list, and his name was ranked first, he couldn't help but smile proudly: "It seems that after so many years, I am still the richest man in the world!"

Getty topped the list of America's richest people in 1957 when Destiny magazine named him the richest man in the United States, and Paul Getty has been the richest man for more than a decade after Guinness World Records certified him as the richest man in the world in 1966.

However, although the richest man in the world is very rich, he only slams the door and does not pull out a dime, which can be called a strange flower in a strange flower!

For example, in an apartment building in London, in order to save on telephone bills, he removed all the external telephones in the building, and only installed a coin-operated telephone in the lobby on the first floor, and specially installed a lock. Because he complained many times that the workers at home secretly made phone calls, many of his friends found out after eating at his house that they had to put in coins to borrow his family's phone.

If this only means that the Getty is picking on outsiders, then the best reflection of his slamming is that in November 1973, that is, at the end of this year, his grandson Getty III was kidnapped by bandits in Rome and was extorted for a ransom of 15 million US dollars.

This is not the most obvious part of his slamming the door, the most shocking thing to the world is that when he sent someone to pay the ransom, the world's richest man actually lowered the price to $3.2 million with the bandits again, and he personally paid $2.2 million to avoid taxes, and the rest of the ransom was completed by the father of Getty III through a loan to Paul Getty.

It is rare for a son to take out a loan from his father to save his grandson, and it is rare in the world to bargain to such an extent.

......

In mid-September, less than six months pregnant, Anna's belly was already very large, and it was extremely inconvenient to travel, and someone needed to be there for her 24 hours a day.

These are not problems for Huo Yaowen, even if he changes someone every hour, he will invite him, and what makes him most happy is that after the B-ultrasound examination in the hospital, it was finally determined that Anna was pregnant with twins.

"Dr. Carter, my granddaughter-in-law is really pregnant with twins?" Grandma looked at the blurry dynamic screen and couldn't help but ask the doctor curiously.

Dr. Carter smiled and nodded, "Yes, old lady, Ms. Anna is pregnant with twins!"

"The current invention is really magical, but I don't know if I can tell if it's a son or a daughter!" Grandma is also amazed by today's high technology, a small playfield on the stomach to wander around, you can see whether it is a twin on an instrument.

"In my experience, it should be a son and a daughter. Dr. Carter said as he looked at the ultrasound carefully.

"Really?!" Grandma couldn't help but be stunned, this boy and girl can see it?

Huo Yaowen, who was accompanying Anna at the bedside, was overjoyed when he heard the news, grabbed Anna's hand, who was also smiling, and then turned around and said, "Grandma, Dr. Carter is the most experienced obstetrician and gynecologist in the entire hospital, and she naturally has a way to distinguish between a man and a woman." ”

Grandma may be suspicious of the female doctor's words, but she really believes her grandson's words, and when she heard that Anna was pregnant with a son and a daughter, she couldn't stop shouting "Okay" happily.

At this time, Mrs. Michelle walked in from outside, saw Grandma's happy face, and asked curiously, "What's the matter, Sally?"

Grandma said excitedly: "Just now Dr. Carter said that Anna is pregnant with a boy and a girl!"

Mrs. Michelle covered her mouth and looked at Anna lying on the bed in disbelief, and then her eyes revealed joy and said, "My God, this is a great event!"

When the two old men were happy, suddenly the door of the B ultrasound room was opened again, and a female nurse walked in, looked at Huo Yaowen and said, "Mr. Evan, there is a gentleman named Litu looking for you outside." ”

"Okay, got it. ”

Huo Yaowen nodded, said a few words to Anna, and asked Grandma and Mrs. Michelle to take care of her, and then walked out of the B-ultrasound room, and when he went outside, he saw that Litu was sitting on a stool waiting for him.

Looking at Lituo, Huo Yaowen asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the hospital??"

"An hour ago, Yao sent me a telegram asking me to inform you to contact Hong Kong as soon as possible. ”
