With Li Feng is stable, but his career is not stopping, recently Li Feng is often on the front page of business magazines, newspapers and periodicals, no way, recently Li Feng's media group in the industry has gained a lot of money.

In addition to CAA, Weta Digital, and Blackwater, it previously included the acquisition of Forbes magazine, record labels, etc., but Li Feng also knew from the briefing that no one knew about Forbes being acquired, and the rest were announced.

Speaking of which, it really didn't cost much, and the whole of it cost the media group hundreds of millions of dollars.

For example, the acquisition of JIVE Records cost 150 million US dollars, reaching 70% control, Forbes spent 220 million US dollars, reaching 60% control, etc. (in memory, Forbes transferred Forbes Group twice in the new century, and the price was not hundreds of millions of dollars), and now the media group has enough strength to eat these companies as a strong supplement to the enterprise.

Naturally, Barry also discussed whether to buy a few influential newspapers, but was directly vetoed by Li Feng, who directly told Barry that he was not optimistic about the development of newspapers in the future.

Li Feng knows very well that especially with the development of the Internet, the newspaper industry is about to face huge losses, but those influential magazines are good.

For example, professional financial magazines, fashion magazines, etc., which is why Li Feng told Barry before that he mainly bought those magazines that he had heard of in his previous life.

……

As for the newspapers, Li Feng thought that when those newspapers were facing huge losses in the future, he would come forward in the form of a savior, and that would be the time for him to buy the newspapers.

In fact, Li Feng knew very well that these newspapers were estimated to not make a lot of money at that time, and you didn't see the traditional Hearst Group, which was the king of the newspaper industry in the United States and even the world at the beginning, and then it was not mainly based on publishing, mainly magazines, books, etc., and it is estimated that there are few newspapers left.

However, Li Feng did not expect newspapers to make money, mainly because of their influence, so don't underestimate the influence of these newspapers that have been running for decades or even hundreds of years.

In the previous life, there were rumors all the time, it seems that many newspapers are facing huge losses every year, and as a result, the newspapers are all sold, and many of them are even given away for free, or even posted upside down, as long as someone is willing to take over.

Li Feng had already thought about it, and when the Internet became the mainstream in the future, he would buy a few influential newspapers when the traditional newspapers were about to be unable to operate.

At that time, it will not be the current situation of begging for the acquisition of themselves, but the bigwigs who own the newspaper begging for their own acquisition.

Just when Li Feng was thinking in his heart, circling among the women every day and not thinking about it, no, some people may not be able to stand it, and the phone ringing that followed remembered it.

……

"Hello, Steve, glad to get your call, what's the matter?"

"What, this year's annual Forbes list of the world's richest people is coming out?"

"I'm ranked so high that I'm going to scare the whole of America and the world?"

"It's not that exaggerated, Bill Gates is estimated to be almost 20 billion, right?"

"OK, don't rush to send it out yet, send me one, I'll take a look at my situation first, and see if your statistics are accurate. ”

"OK, just send me an email, I'll read it right away, and I'll call you when I'm done." ”

"So be it, bye-bye!"

That's right, this is a phone call from Steve Forbes, the president of Forbes, who has just been acquired by himself, saying that this year's global rich list is about to be announced, but after all, Li Feng has now become his nominal boss, so he said that he will give Li Feng a look first.

Well, to be honest, although the Forbes rich list has been rumored every year in later generations, who remembers when it was released, and now it will be released in June, and I don't know what they think.

In Li Feng's imagination, since it is a year's rich list, it has to be released at the end of the year, and now it is only in the middle of the year, which is the 96-year-old rich list, which is really a bit unworthy of the name.

……

Hearing Li Feng's call, the two assistants who were playing games with Li Feng were also interested, and immediately walked to Li Feng's office, and watched the list of rich people sent by Steve Forbes with great interest.

After all, for ordinary people, the annual rich list is still very attractive, and now the list that has not yet been released is directly in front of him, and the feeling of satisfaction is definitely beyond the usual.

Li Feng didn't stop the two from watching, and he immediately opened the list through the computer. This time, two lists were sent, which were 95 years and 96 years this year, and the data can be compared.

Li Feng found that most of these super-rich people have greatly increased their total wealth, which is also a testament to the rapid development of the global economy today.

First of all, the first to see Li Feng's familiar name, Bill Gates, who was the richest man in the world with 18.5 billion US dollars, Li Feng was not surprised at all. However, Li Feng was a little surprised by only 18.5 billion, after all, according to its more than 40% Microsoft shares, there are definitely more than 20 billion, and after seeing the statistics of Forbes, Li Feng knew that Gates cashed out a lot last year.

According to the memory of his previous life, if history had not changed, Li Feng knew that after Bill became the richest man for the first time in 95, he would have become the richest man for 13 consecutive years, as if he was unsuccessful in the position of the richest man in 08, and then began to wander in the top few.

Naturally, Li Feng also knows that Bill will cash out a part of his shares every year, but the cash-out has not risen fast, and in the end, his wealth has indeed continued to increase, and as for the cash-out, they have all entered the so-called charity fund.

It seems that until 2017, from 95 to 17 years, 23 times, it seems that he was elected the richest man 18 times, and he is indeed a bull fork figure.

As for whether there can be an accident in this life, it depends on my next ability, Li Feng thought proudly in his heart.

……

Next, the old mother of the Walton family ranked second, Buffett was third, and Li Feng was fourth when he saw an unexpected name, which was the rich man in Xiangjiang, known as the 'fourth uncle', and the old man Li Zhaoji.

The old man ranked fourth with a net worth of 12.7 billion US dollars, Li Feng really didn't know about this, he didn't expect the ranking to be so high, Li Feng found that last year, Mr. Li seemed to be good, ranking 13th, but this year it has risen all of a sudden.

In fact, what Li Feng didn't know was that Mr. Li Zhaoji was elected the richest man in China for two consecutive years in 96 and 97, and he was still ranked fourth in 97, and then he was replaced by Li Jiacheng.

Next, Li Feng saw a lot of familiar Chinese billionaires in his previous life, most of them in Xiangjiang, T, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc., these rich people have a lot of money, and among the top 10 Chinese billionaires, the lowest is more than 7 billion US dollars, and they are ranked very high in the rich list.

For example, Xiangjiang's 'Shuang Li', the Kwok brothers, the New World Guo Henian and T's Cai Wanlin, etc., these are famous Chinese wealthy families even in later generations.

In general, the gap between the net worth of the richest people on the list is not very large, unlike the first place in later generations, which is almost 8 or 90 billion, and it has dropped very quickly, and now the richest man is only 18.5 billion, and the big guys behind him are also more than 10 billion.

……

As he continued to flip through the pages, Li Feng finally found his name, and at the same time, Forbes also helped him liquidate his asset wealth, although Li Feng laughed all over the place after seeing it, expressing his "ridicule" for the list.
