Chapter 97: The Richest Man

97

During this month, Fang Jianhui conscientiously fulfilled his boyfriend's duties, he watched Adjani's stage rehearsals and performances, and accompanied her to record the music album "Pull Marine".

The album "Pull Marine" is Adjani's painstaking work, and she invited the famous French music producer Serge Gainsbourg, and the two have been working together for several months, and the song is finally nearing completion and is being recorded. Fang Jianhui offered to help several times, but she refused, according to her: "If you want to make a move, this is Fang Jianhui's album, not my Adjani's album." ”

Not only the production of the album, but also Fang Jianhui's nothing, even the shooting of the MV, Adjani did not let him interfere, she made an appointment with her friend Luc Besson, and the latter filmed for her.

He had already understood Adjani's personality, so he no longer insisted, followed her to the recording studio, and only listened with his ears and did not express any opinions. However, his identity determines that even if he doesn't speak, just standing there, he can have an impact on the people in the studio, making everyone excited or nervous, and after a few times, Adjani won't let him go to the studio anymore, just stay at home.

On June 9, Fang Jianhui returned to Xiangjiang.

On the morning of the 11th, Fang Jianhui came to ATV's office as usual, the room had already been cleaned by the secretary, the windows were bright and clean, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

He sat down in a chair, looked at the schedule prepared by the secretary's office and the reports of the subordinate subsidiaries for instructions, and wrote and scratched from time to time and gave instructions.

"Big news, boss!" said Shirley, pushing the door in, in a loud voice.

"What's the matter?"

Shirley smiled and said, "Good thing, boss, you have become the richest man in the United States." ”

Oh, Fang Jianhui took the briefing and fax in Shirley's hand and looked at it. The briefings are from Hong Kong Economic Journal and South China Morning Post, one in Chinese and one in English, two of Hong Kong's most authoritative newspapers in finance and economics, both of which have been taken over by Fang Jianhui.

The headlines on the front pages of both newspapers were "Fang Jianhui, the richest man in the United States!" in a huge font, taking up half of the front page.

The fax is a newly published Forbes magazine in the United States, which has been transmitted in its entirety from the United States, and the cover of the magazine is Fang Jianhui himself! The accompanying title is: Fang Jianhui, the youngest! The richest!

Looking at the magazine in his hand, although he had expected this in his heart, it really became a reality, which still made Fang Jianhui feel a lot of emotion, and he was a little in a trance for a while.

I really became the richest man in the United States!? I was so dick in my previous life, but in just a few years in this life, I became the richest person in the United States!? Dude is only 22 years old, and he has already climbed to such a peak, what should I do in the future?

The magazine was published on the 10th, and it was the middle of the night on the side of Xiangjiang, and the American side notified Shirley as soon as the magazine was published, and after verifying the source, Shirley conveyed the news to ATV, Hong Kong Economic Journal and South China Morning Post, and asked them to broadcast the news.

The Forbes Rich List, the full name of which is the 'American 400 Rich List', brings together the list of the top 400 richest people in the United States, and roughly lists the main assets under the names of each billionaire.

Mr. Fang topped the list, and Forbes estimated his fortune at $3.6 billion, devoting a full five pages to him. First is his legendary fortune, then the list of major assets under his name and its valuation.

His largest asset is the wholly-owned Twentieth Century Fox, which has an annual profit of more than $300 million and a valuation of $2.5 billion, followed by Fox Television Network, which is valued at $2 billion, and Fang Jianhui holds 24% of the nominal shares, or about $500 million.

For his investment in Wal-Mart and LB again, because these two companies have performed well in recent years, Fang Jianhui's initial investment of more than 100 million yuan, and now the market value is close to one billion US dollars, and Fox Records, after several phenomenal albums in a row, is also valued at 300 million US dollars.

There are also his various assets in Xiangjiang, such as ATV, Angel Pictures, Angel Cinemas, Anle Cinemas, etc., which are about 150 million US dollars.

Added up, the total assets are about $4.5 billion, minus the remaining debt of about $900 million when Fang Jianhui bought Fox and set up the television network, and his net worth is $3.6 billion, much higher than the second place of $2 billion, making him the richest man in the United States.

Forbes specifically noted that Fang Jianhui's assets are mostly private and not listed, so the valuation is relatively conservative, and once listed, his wealth will further increase. Also, in addition to being the richest, Fang Jianhui is just over 22 years old, which also makes him the youngest richest person on the list!

In addition to the text, the magazine also accompanied many photos of Fang Jianhui, including him dancing at the Oscars, as well as photos of his movie characters, record covers, and the Fox Building. Of course, as a professional financial magazine, Forbes did not publish photos of Fang Jianhui's 'sisters' - it may be that he has too many 'sisters', I don't know which one to choose, the magazine is full of pictures and texts, and Fang Jianhui's life deeds are known at a glance.

There are 13 people on the list who exceed $1 billion, and the last of the 400 people has assets of $80 million. The oil industry has the largest number of billionaires on the list, accounting for about a quarter, followed by manufacturing, finance and real estate, with the least number of people in the culture and entertainment industry where Fang Jianhui works. New York State has the largest number of billionaires, with 77, followed by California, where Fang Jianhui is located, with 48.

Readers may wonder if Fang Jianhui is from Xiangjiang, what does the 'American Rich List' have to do with him? Here I have to mention Fang Jianhui's passive skill 'Appearance is justice' again, this skill will make people involuntarily ignore his nationality, skin color, religion, etc., and subconsciously regard him as their own.

When Forbes compiled this list, everyone felt that it was natural to put Fang Jianhui in it, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with it. Besides, more than ninety percent of Fang Jianhui's assets are in the United States, and it is reasonable for him to be listed as a 'rich man in the United States'.

"Shirley, what do you think of the impact of this news on me? Having become the richest man at a young age, Fang Jianhui wanted to know what ordinary people would think of this matter and what impact it would have on his reputation. After all, there are still many people who hate the rich.

"Boss, you can rest assured. Shirley said: "I can pack a ticket, you become the richest man in the United States, it will only increase your popularity, and the negative impact can be basically ignored." ”

"How so?"

"Clean and transparent. Shirley said: "Compared with other rich people, your boss is the cleanest and most transparent in your wealth." You are in the entertainment industry, you have made a few movies, released a few records, and how much money can you make from each movie and each record, even if you are an ordinary passerby, you will say that you are ugly. ”

Shirley continued: "Moreover, boss, you don't even speculate, you don't speculate in oil, real estate, foreign exchange, even in the stock market, you don't speculate in the short term, only for long-term investment. The speculation and speculation that the general public hates have nothing to do with you, and all your wealth can be attributed to your talent and courage. ”

"Compared with those rich people who are engaged in oil, finance, and real estate, every one of your wealth has rules to follow and is clean. In this materialistic society, your behavior is as pure as a white lotus. ”

Shirley concluded: "You have a great image and a great temperament, and being rich can only make you more attractive, and it will not have a negative impact." ”

Also, Fang Jianhui nodded in agreement, put yourself in your shoes, I was a dick in my previous life, and I have no reason to hate a rich man like Fang Jianhui.

At this time, Bai Annie walked in with a thick stack of papers: "Brother Hui, there are so many congratulatory messages!"

Because of the time difference, most of these congratulatory messages are from Europe and the United States, and the secretary's office has been classified according to the identity and status of the caller.

"U.S. President's Council on Arts and Humanities", "Motion Picture Industry Association of America", "Recording Industry Association of America", "Chairman of Paramount Pictures", "President of Universal Pictures", "Chairman of Walmart", "Chairman of LB"...

"British Film Industry Association", "France TΓ©lΓ©visiono 3", "French Gaumont Company"..."President of Toho Co., Ltd.", "Chairman of Toei"...

Uh, when did you have so many friends?" "Shirley, arrange for me to call back and thank you one by one." ”

"Yes, boss. ”

Broadcast Road, Wireless Headquarters.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Shao Lao rubbed his forehead: "It's really a genius, how did you become an opponent?"

Fang Yihua stood next to him, and also sighed lightly: "The richest man in the United States, it's really not something we can fight against." ”

Shao Lao said: "People make hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars every year, and the little money that ATV loses every year is just change for him." ”

"Hey, we tried our best, but people didn't pay attention to it, and it's frustrating to think about. ”

Shao Lao said: "Anyway, this is also a matter of greatly increasing the morale of our Chinese, we can't lose our courtesy, you send a congratulatory telegram to Fang Gongzi in my name." ”

"Good. ”

Golden Harvest Headquarters.

He Guanchang patted the newspaper and said, "This Fang Gongzi, I only knew that he was rich, but I didn't expect that he would be rich to this extent!"

Liu Lianghua said with a smile: "How does this person's head grow? How can he be so smart? I really want to open his brain and take a look." ”

He Guanchang said: "What is rare is that this Fang Gongzi is not only smart, but also very kind. Even if the fight with Shao Lao is a bit intense, the means taken are also righteous and bright, and people can't say what is wrong. ”

Zhou Wenhuai also said: "Yes." I think if there is a list of the most respected rich people, Fang Gongzi will definitely be the first. ”

He Guanchang asked: "Fang Gongzi has greatly boosted the morale of our Chinese this time, should we go and send a congratulatory telegram to congratulate us?"

"It's nature. Zhou Wenhuai said: "Fang Gongzi is a dragon and a phoenix, and it is unwise to be an enemy with him, in the future, we Jiahe should strengthen cooperation with Angel Pictures." ”

"For example?"

"It's easy. Liu Lianghua said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Fang Gongzi's most important thing is his 'sisters and sisters', and it just so happens that our Golden Harvest is also short of actresses." I believe that as long as we find more scenes with his sisters, Fang Gongzi will be happy. ”

"That's right. The two men clapped their hands at the same time.
