On September 8, 2011, Forbes Asia announced the 2011 China Richest List.

The number of billionaires in China with personal or family assets of more than US$1 billion has reached an unprecedented 146, an increase of 18 from 2010.

Liang Moumou, chairman of Sany Group, topped the list with a personal net worth of $9.3 billion and became the new richest man in China. On last year's list, he was third with $5.9 billion.

In this list, the most striking thing is not the richest man, but Wang Ye, who is only 24 years old and has appeared on the rich list for the first time.

In the rankings, Wang Ye's official net worth is 21 billion yuan, about 2.6 billion US dollars, ranking 60th!

This rich list includes all Chinese, if only the mainland rich are counted, then Wang Ye's ranking can rise a lot, to 28!

At the beginning of the year, although Wang Ye's net worth soared to more than 60 billion and briefly topped the position of the richest man, no one took it seriously at that time. Because a discerning person can see at a glance that the stock price of Huashang International is hyped up, and it is impossible to maintain it at that high price.

But this time it is different, Huashang International's share price has already fallen, staying at the price of 45 yuan for a long time, which is considered to be a return to the normal price.

The Forbes Rich List only counts the market capitalization and real estate of publicly traded companies, as well as cash. There are so many companies in Wang Ye's hands, and only 200 million shares of Huashang International, 5% of Wanfeng Group's shares, and 70% of Weiye Group's shares are counted.

Huashang International's stock price is now very miserable, falling to 45 yuan, and the 200 million shares in Wang Ye's hands are 9 billion.

Wanfeng Group was listed in Xiangjiang, and now has a market value of 160 billion, so the shares in Wang Ye's hands are 8 billion.

Weiye Group now has Modu Jahwa and Mingguang Science and Technology Park, with a market value of 5 billion, and 70% is 3.5 billion.

Coupled with the real estate and luxury cars in his name, the total assets reached 21 billion.

As for the other assets in his hand, because they are not listed companies, they have not been counted. In real terms, those assets that have not been counted are worth more money than those that have been listed!

This can be regarded as making a lot of money, but this is also the last year that Wang Ye can be low-key, and his true net worth will not surface until next year.

The Forbes rich list doesn't really mean anything, because there are many real rich people who don't make it to this list. Just like Nie Dingwen, he is definitely more net worth than Wang Ye now, but because the company in his hand is not listed, he does not appear on the list.

There are many people like Nie Dingwen in China, so this list, just look at it, you can't do it seriously.

……

In Mingguang Science and Technology Park, in Wang Ye's office, Susan, the head of the Gulfstream Aerospace Company's Xiangjiang office, is introducing Wang Ye to her company. In the face of such a huge rich man as Wang Ye, of course she is respectful.

Gulfstream Aerospace is currently the world's leading manufacturer of luxury and large business jets. It was fully acquired by General Dynamics in 1999 and its main product is the Gulfstream family of private jets.

A few days ago, LISA went to Xiangjiang, and first contacted the Xiangjiang office of Gulfstream, because the first choice to buy a private jet is, of course, Gulfstream.

After receiving LISA's consultation intention, the people in the Gulfstream Xiangjiang office immediately learned about Wang Ye through various channels. It was determined that this was a prospective customer who had sufficient financial resources to purchase the aircraft.

Then, today, Susan came to Pengcheng and visited Wang Ye in person.

"Mr. Wang, according to your needs, of course, it is most suitable to choose our company's Gulfstream G550, which has a long enough range. Susan enthusiastically introduced and handed over the Gulfstream G55O brochure with both hands.

This model Wang Ye knows, this is also the most mainstream high-end private jet at present, among the more than 100 private jets in the mainland, there are almost more than 20 Gulfstream G550. Of course, it's not that others don't want to buy the G550, but they can't afford it, because the price of this aircraft is not cheap, and the price is as high as 350 million yuan.

Gulfstream G550 business jet, launched by Gulfstream Aerospace in 2003, is the first ultra-long-range business jet in the history of human flight that can fly directly from New York to Tokyo.

This aircraft is one of the top international long-range jet business jet models, with a range of 11,686 kilometers, a maximum cruising altitude of 15,545 meters, and can carry 18 passengers.

Of course, these "most" are about to become a thing of the past, and Wang Ye vaguely remembers that Gulfstream is about to launch a new model G650.

"I heard that your Gulfstream G650 is about to go on sale, is there an introduction to this model?" asked Wang Ye as he flipped through the album.

"Of course, the G650 is expected to be officially launched at the end of the year, and this model is a comprehensive upgrade of the G550......" Susan heard Wang Ye consulting about the G650, and hurriedly took out a copy of the information again and handed it to Wang Ye.

This is the latest type of private jet and it is characterized by flying fast and flying far!

With a flight speed close to the speed of sound, the G650 is the fastest aircraft in the world, and the range is up to 13,000 kilometers, which means that you can fly directly from Pengcheng to any city in the world!

Wang Ye is more interested in this new model, and since he wants to buy it, it must be the best one. He looked at the album and asked Susan, "How long do you have to wait for this model, and what is the price?"

"The G650 is priced from $58.5 million, and there are already eleven customers who have booked it, and if Mr. Wang books now, it will be the twelfth, and it is expected to take a year and a half to two years. Susan replied with a smile.

This made Wang Ye very disappointed, although the price was as high as 500 million yuan, he could still afford it, but this time was not something he could wait. Two years! After waiting for so long, the daylily is cold!

"It's going to take too long, is there a way to cut the queue and get it in half a year?" Wang Ye asked.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Wang, as you know, the customers who can book the G650 are people with a noble status like you and who value time very much, and it is basically impossible for them to postpone it. Unless a customer cancels the order due to special circumstances, which is not the case yet. Susan also had a helpless expression.

This is also reasonable, if you can afford to buy a private jet of fifty or sixty million US dollars, none of them are simple people, and if you take out any one, you may have a higher net worth and status than Wang Ye, how can you give in because of him.

However, Wang Ye really couldn't wait for two years, he could only say regretfully: "What about the G550, it won't have to wait for two years, if I have to wait so long, I can only choose other airlines." ”

Private jets are not built by the Gulfstream family, and if Wang Ye is really asked to wait for two years, he would rather buy other models.

"Speaking of the G550, I have good news! If Mr. Wang has no special requirements for the interior layout of the aircraft, he can get a new aircraft at the end of this month at the earliest!" said Susan with a spring breeze on his face.

"Oh, why is it so fast?" asked Wang Ye in surprise.

"Because a customer had originally ordered a G550, the plane was all built, and the interior part was being done, he revised the order and ordered the G650 instead. So, now this aircraft is equivalent to a stock supply. Here's a rendering of the interior of that plane, and if you don't need to make major changes, Mr. Wang, it can be delivered at the end of the month. ”

As she spoke, Susan took out a beautiful picture book from her briefcase.

Now Wang Ye is interested, if the interior of this aircraft is not full of bells and whistles, it is not impossible. Truth be told, with the exception of some quirky customers, most of the people who can afford to buy a private jet have good taste. The carefully selected interior is luxurious enough, even if Wang Ye tosses it himself, it may not work better.

Flipping through this album, there is nothing beautiful about the shape of the plane, it is all the same. The difference is in the interior, the interior of a private jet can be completely arranged in the style you like.

The interior decoration of this aircraft is unsurprisingly extravagant. The large and comfortable calfskin seat not only has a massage function, but also can be completely folded down to become a bed.

The cabin, which could have carried 18 people, now has only 8 seats, and the extra space is set up in a bedroom!

The overall decoration style is not fancy at all, but takes the elegant and simple route, which is in line with Wang Ye's intentions.

"This is okay, what is the overall price?" Wang Ye asked casually.

Susan was happy in her heart, this kind of plane with good interior decoration is not very easy to sell, and rich people are more individual. Spend hundreds of millions to buy an airplane, of course, you have to decorate it exactly to your liking.

She also pitched the aircraft to several prospective buyers, but all of them were rejected. Because now to order G550, you don't need to wait too long, you can get it in about half a year, and most people would rather wait for half a year than buy an order that someone else has returned.

"This plane, because it is a customer's cancelled order, the cost of the interior part has already been paid by the customer, so our company no longer charges this part of the fee, which is equivalent to only selling a bare metal price, 310 million yuan!" Susan quickly replied.

This price does not include the interior, the same model of aircraft, someone bought it for 320 million, and someone bought it for 350 million, the difference is in the interior decoration.

As for this plane, the cost of the interior decoration part is not cheap, and the customers who unsubscribed paid 3 million US dollars, that is, 24 million yuan!

After he unsubscribed, of course, the fee would not be refunded to him, but the rich don't care about the millions of dollars.

"Okay, then I'll buy this plane, send it over as soon as possible, and park it at Pengcheng International Airport." Wang Ye said happily.

There is nothing to go to the manufacturer for inspection, field test flights, and bargaining, because it is a waste of time and unnecessary!

The price of private jets is very transparent, just a few companies produce, and there are only a few models, all of which are sold directly by the company, and it is impossible to cheat people on the price.

The Gulfstream's G550 has been on the market for 8 years and has sold thousands of units worldwide, which is a very mature model.

Wang Ye is still a little regretful, he originally wanted to buy G650, but he had to wait too long, so he could only settle for the next best thing and buy a G550 first. Sure enough, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, no matter how rich you are, you can't do what you want.
