After successfully hiring Harold Evans to serve as the general manager of Universal Newspaper, early the next morning, Huo Yaowen took him to the London Financial Daily to get acquainted with him, and let him get to know Huang Junyu by the way.

Fortunately, Harold Evans has worked in the British newspaper industry for many years, knows many newspaper people, and has the help of Lidu, and within a week, Universal Press was officially established in the West End of London.

Although the company was established, it is only because it is still a grass-roots start-up, the company does not have many employees, and is still familiar with the situation of the four newspapers in Hong Kong and the United States, so Evans, who has just taken up the position of general manager, has not made too many changes for the time being, and everything is still operating as usual.

Time flies, August has passed in a blink of an eye, and it has come to September.

Early in the morning, a bus stop on Feeley Road in London City was already overcrowded, and countless people rushing to work were anxiously waiting for the next bus to arrive.

As usual, Merris, who is in her thirties, began to nibble on a paper cup of coffee in one hand and a warm sandwich in the other

"Hi, Merris!"

Hearing someone shouting to him, Merris looked back and saw a slightly balding brown-haired man walking behind him.

"Cecil, why are you waiting for the bus?" the man was a neighbor of Merris, who worked in a similar place to him, except that he worked in a bank and he worked in a financial company.

Cecil got closer and said angrily, "When I drove home yesterday, I didn't know that the bastard threw some nails on the side of the road, causing me to almost have an accident!"

"What a misfortune (joy)," Myris said with a look of regret.

"Who's to say it isn't?! Better not let me know it's that bastard, or I'm going to kick his ass hard!"

Cecil was addicted to the cannon and suddenly noticed a stack of newspapers in Merris's arms, pulled it casually, and said, "Lend me to see Myris, waiting for the bus is too boring." The last time I waited for the bus was 10 years ago, when I had just graduated from college, and I vowed never to take the bus again in my life. But I didn't expect that after so many years, the planning of the city government is still so rubbish, and there are not even many buses, so that those of you who don't have cars have to wait so long every day to go to work!"

That's my newspaper!

Merris silently cursed in his heart, but he didn't stop the other party from taking his own newspaper, after all, they were all adults and neighbors, and there was no need to quarrel over this.

Cecil was very proud when he saw that Merris was silent, and he opened the newspaper and found that it was the "London Financial Daily", which has been very popular in recent months, and its comments on the international economy and the British economy are very pertinent, and he often buys them.

It's just that his favorite thing to read is "Currency Wars", but unfortunately the serialization is over, but Cecil has already bought the book "Currency Wars", and when he works in the bank, he will take it out and read it again.

Spread out the front page of the newspaper, instead of the news on the international economy and other aspects in the last few days, as before, a series of strange questions: "Do you want to know who is the richest in the world?"

"Do you want to know who is the most powerful in this world?"

"Do you want to know whose company is the biggest in the world?"

“……”

Looking at this series of questions, Cecil was a little confused, and said to Merris on the other side: "Hey, Merris, come and have a look." ”

"What?"

Merris reluctantly walked over, poked his head out and glanced at the contents of the newspaper, in the face of these questions, he was also confused, "What is this?

"Who knows!"

Cecil saw that Meris was not clear, and continued to read on his own.

Seeing that he had his back to him, Merris cursed again in his heart: Fake, that's the labor-management newspaper!

"I believe that there are many people in this world who are curious about who is the richest in the world, which company has the highest market value, and who is the most powerful in the world. Financial Daily and Financial Weekly, it took half a year to collect data and track the world's top 100 richest people and companies, do you want to know who is the richest man in the world? Want to know who is the world's first family? Please buy "London Financial Weekly" and take you to reveal this series of doubts!

Fack, and buy a weekly magazine!

Cecil frowned, he was looking at it with curiosity, and he actually had to buy a weekly magazine to know who was the richest!

It's like when you're expecting the dancer to take off the last piece of clothing, and suddenly the other party asks you for money so you can continue to look down.

But Cecil decided to wait for the bank and buy a copy of "Financial Weekly" at a nearby newsstand, so that he could know who was the richest in the world!

"Drip ......"

At this time, the bus slowly drove from not far away, and Cecil immediately gave the newspaper to Meris beside him, and hurriedly squeezed towards the bus desperately.

Merris hurriedly took the newspaper and hurriedly followed.

About half an hour later, the two arrived in London's West End, got out of the car and went to work separately.

"A Financial Weekly. ”

"A Financial Weekly. ”

When Cecil walked to the newsstand to buy the weekly, he found that Merris had followed, also to buy the financial weekly.

The newsstand owner said apologetically: "I'm sorry two, I only have one copy left." ”

"I'll come first!" Hearing this, Cecil immediately took out the money and put it in the boss's hand, taking away the only remaining weekly magazine.

Merris stared at Cecil and took the weekly, and his dissatisfaction was extreme, but he still held back, and said with a smile on his face: "Cecil, I just want to see who the richest man in the world is." ”

"This is the weekly I bought, you might as well go somewhere else and see if it sells." ”

Cecil waved his hand, took the weekly and left.

"Fack!"

Meris scolded directly this time, but the other party had already gone away, and he couldn't get angry, so he could only turn around and look at other newsstands.

By the time he bought the weekly magazine and returned to the company, he was already late, and it happened that the supervisor was holding a meeting for everyone, and Merris was fined for being late, which made his anger soar again.

Cecil of the weekly magazine, who was fighting, was sitting in the office of the bank at the moment, making himself a cup of coffee, first looking at the work left over from yesterday, then throwing it aside, picking up the "Financial Weekly" he bought, and began to drink coffee while reading the financial wealth list published in the weekly.

The beginning of this wealth list is to say that they have spent a lot of financial resources and manpower in order to collect information about the world's wealthy businessmen, so that people can feel the authority of this list at first glance.

Of course, considering the size of the world, there are many low-key people, and at the end of the article, it is only said that the top 100 richest people selected are rich people who disclose their assets to the public.

"It seems that this Fortune Weekly has spent a lot of time and energy. ”

Seeing this, Cecil nodded approvingly, he is a bank manager, and he naturally knows that every year there will be a large number of bearer accounts on the bank account, and you only need to hold a bank statement to withdraw money.

Turning to the next page with anticipation, it is not a very standard list, as Cecil expected, but it is still an article, but this one is about the richest man in the world from the last century to this century.

Who was the richest man in the world in each decade from 1810 to 1970?

"1. Stephen Girard (1810-1830), according to known sources, Stephen Girard was born in Bordeaux, France, in 1750, the son of a naval captain. He settled in Philadelphia in 1776, where he became a merchant and made a fortune in imports and exports, becoming the richest man in the world in 1810. In 1811, Girard set up his own bank, which provided the U.S. government with major funds during the war, increasing his fortune to the current $900 million. By the time of his death in 1831, he had left most of his wealth to charity, about 1/150th of America's revenue that year. ”

"Nine hundred dollars! My God, more than a hundred years ago, I had assets worth almost $900 million now!"

Cecil was dumbfounded.

With the first place, the assets of the next richest man made Cecil envious and jealous.

I have been seeing 1960-1970, and he is also the last richest man in the world, and the richest man in the world in the current era!

J. Paul Getty was born in Minneapolis in 1892 and invested in the oil industry in his early 20s. It wasn't until the 50s of the 20th century that he really got rich after leasing oil-rich land in the Middle East. The Getty maintained control of the global oil industry throughout the '60s, and was named the richest man in the world by the Guinness Book of Records in 1966, with a personal fortune of $3.7 billion as of 1973, and at the helm of an oil empire worth more than $20 billion in assets, he was the veritable richest man in the world in the '60s and '70s!

$3.7 billion!

Cecil doesn't know what words to use to describe this man's wealth!

And when Cecil was shocked by the assets of the world's richest man, Merris, who was scolded on the other side, was also shocked.

At this moment, the entire British people who bought "Financial Weekly" were all shocked by the assets of the world's richest man, you must know that the average annual income in Britain is only 4,000 pounds, and 3.7 billion US dollars is a wealth that even if a person does not eat or drink and work for thousands of years, he may not be able to accumulate.
