Chapter 486: A Friend's Friend Is Not a Friend

Forbes magazine people found Zhou Shi, hoping that he would cooperate with the announcement of his wealth, Zhou Shi was a little hesitant, how much money he had is really a mystery, the company's equity is quite clear, the most important thing is cash, he has invested part of it in the Vermilion Bird Fund, and there is also a lot of cash in China, such as SMIC's billion-dollar bonds, and the money earned by long gold. Swiss bank accounts are probably more than a billion dollars in assets, anyway, they have been making money, as for how much he doesn't know.

Lao Fengxiang in China is still under the Sixiang Fund, Zhou Shi has no time to manage, but there are still some actions, that is, let Lao Fengxiang hoard raw materials, mainly gold, jade, etc., and the other is to buy real estate with loans and open branches, as for the training of designers and designers, and the plan to create well-known designers is still in the planning, and when you are free, you will do it. The domestic floodgates are opened, and Zhou Shi's industrial companies can take out large loans, including Huiyuan juice, if you don't borrow, there are banks begging to borrow, so that Huiyuan's debt ratio remains high, and Lao Fengxiang, as a listed company, borrows more money. In fact, the huge cash flow of Guoke nuts does not need financing, and it can be developed well with the help of loans, but the restrictions on the export of funds from the state, and the restrictions of the domestic financial system on private enterprises are not something that Zhou Shi can handle, and there is no way to finance. Fortunately, the domestic distribution system of nut cultivation has financial support, and the development is still very fast.

After tossing for a long time, Chen Wen handed Forbes a list of Zhou Shi's wealth, and the assets under his name include 14 percent of Amazon shares, 6 percent of Baidu shares, 10 percent of Huaxia and American Friends Network shares, more than 1 percent of Apple shares, 9.9 percent of Netflix shares, $20 million worth of real estate in the United States, a $50 million private jet, 50 million US dollars of real estate in China (courtyard houses, etc.), and a number of jade raw materials (worth 300 million US dollars?). There is also a $1 billion wealth management fund in Galaxy Capital and Sixiang Fund.

"Then according to the current market value, how much wealth do I have?" Zhou Shi looked at the report in his hand, still a little distressed, it was not good if this wealth grew too fast.

"It's about $12.5 billion!" Chen Wen wasn't sure, they had hidden a lot, how could there still be so much money in front of them. Fortunately, everyone's assets have risen a lot this year, otherwise according to Forbes' ranking last year, Zhou Shi would have ranked 25th in the world.

Zhou Shi is also helpless, the equity value of Sixiang Fund and Galaxy Capital has not yet been calculated, how can he accumulate so much wealth in the past six or seven years, it is really too sci-fi. I knew that if I didn't take the equity of Friends.com into my arms, why would I have to wait until I was thirty years old to become the richest man in the world. There are still four years to go, we must hold on, Zhou Shi secretly cheered himself up, and resolutely did not become the richest man in the world before the age of 30.

Forbes confirmed with Chen Wen several times, and I don't know if they think these assets are less or more, in fact, with their strength, most of Zhou Shi's assets can be checked, of course, those shares divided into trusts and charitable funds are not Zhou Shi's wealth.

"Mr. Zhou, you said they wouldn't investigate more, right?" Chen Wen said to Zhou Shi uneasily

"Probably not, do they want my wealth to suppress the young people of the world?"

"Even if you calculate your current wealth, you surpass your peers all over the world?" Chen Wen thought about it for a while, and found that it was wrong.

What you said is so reasonable, it is impossible to refute, how can Zhou Shi know what others will think and do. But no matter what they do, it doesn't hurt him. In that case, concentrate on doing your own thing, and no matter when the financing negotiations for these companies are completed, they must all be arranged after the release of the Forbes Rich Edition, so as not to cause unnecessary disruption.

Yelp's financing negotiations have just begun, and Zhou Shi also has to prepare for the development of the European market, with Tianhe Securities and Liverpool, their connections in Europe are enough. However, the current development routines of YELP in different markets may not be applicable, and how to authorize is a very sophisticated work. It is necessary to give full play to the subjective initiative and enthusiasm of employees and give them sufficient authority, but also not to let their rights be too big to get out of control, and too much power often means corruption. There are many such problems encountered in the internationalization of the friend network. Fortunately, the financial system of Friends.com is quite strict, and Yelp's Shirley Sandberg is experienced enough to have no major problems. But Yelp's internationalization is different, not to mention that there is a Pacific Ocean across the Atlantic, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and Zhou Shi does not dare to guarantee that the talents he recruits do not have wolf ambitions.

For any organization, there is no perfect system, only through continuous practice and improvement, the development of management, so that the construction of the management system becomes rule-based, but all management systems are realized through people, which will inevitably have a place for operation. Just as the role of anti-corruption is not to eradicate corruption, this cannot be done, anti-corruption is only to increase the cost of evil for certain groups of people.

Just as Zhou Shi was busy with these things, Larry Ellison asked Zhou Shi out.

Ellison's best friend may be Jobs, but because of the relationship between Shell and Jobs, Zhou Shi and Jobs will basically not be happy to meet, so although he has a good relationship with Ellison, he does not have much contact. Speaking of Jobs, his two friends, Ellison of Oracle and Robert Iger of Disney, both have a good relationship with Zhou Shi, but they don't get along very well. Steve Jobs believed in Buddhism and Zen, and Zhou Shi believed in Taoism, at least on the surface. He even wondered if Jobs had the same bad thoughts as Ellison: "It's not enough for me to be successful, everyone else has to fail." ”

"Hey, my friend, are you going to sell just to buy it?" Ellison saw Zhou Shi and began to tease him without hesitation.

"Yes, this is what I'm best at, and it's also what you're best at, unlike you who only buy, don't sell!" Zhou Shi was also polite, everyone knew that Sun's hardware department didn't have much value, but Ellison just didn't sell, maybe he couldn't find a big deal.

"What are you doing this for?" Ellison

"For the acquisition of Morgan Stanley!" Zhou Shi

"Ah~~" Ellison looked at Zhou Shi like a neurotic, Da Mo is down, it's not something you can touch!

"That's impossible," Zhou Shi continued, "We have cooperated with Da Mo, and we want to get more chips and deepen the cooperative relationship between the two sides, and the financing and listing of these companies are bait!"

"Forget it, let's talk about Twitter! Are you really willing to transfer your stake in Twitter?" Ellison

"Of course, do you have an idea, it's impossible!" Zhou Shi knew that Ellison only had 3~40,000 followers on Twitter, but he had only posted one tweet so far.

"That's right!" Ellison
