Chapter 199: The Super-Rich
Lu Yang also knew that his requirements were a bit high, after all, Tianxin Pictures had just been established and was a new company. And Huaxia films do not have a strong influence in the world, and it is indeed difficult to distribute them globally.
"It's up to you how you do it." Lu Yang took this as a test for He Xiaodong, "Whether you negotiate with other distribution companies, or acquire foreign distribution companies, as long as it is feasible, I will support you." β
He Xiaodong was originally a little embarrassed, but after listening to Lu Yang's words, he had a bottom in his heart. Global distribution, difficult to say, easy to say, if you are not afraid of losing money in the movie, with his experience and connections, it can still be operated.
"You are in charge of the "Havoc in Heaven" project, Yuhan is the producer, give you two months to prepare, and this movie will be released at the end of today. Also, our Tianxin Pictures is not only a film and television producer, but also involves cinemas, and I will leave this aspect to you. Lu Yang commanded again.
After leaving, Lu Yang asked Pangu to send the information to He Xiaodong, He Xiaodong looked at the email and smiled bitterly, he, the president, is definitely very hard to follow, so many tasks have to be completed, and each one is not simple.
"When the boss moves his mouth, I will break my leg...... I'd better recruit people first, and then leave these things to someone else. β
Lu Yang is not as idle as He Xiaodong thinks, although he has now got rid of technical work, he has also had more other affairs. Lu Yang is more deeply involved in the management of the company than before, as well as various social activities, and is very busy every day.
On March 10, Forbes magazine announced the list of the richest people with total assets of more than $1 billion in 2010. Suddenly, the richest on the list became the focus of the world's attention. A telecommunications tycoon from Mexico has surpassed Bill Gates to become the new richest man in the world.
For Chinese media, this ranking release is different from usual, and the attention to Cheng dΓΉ is unprecedentedly high, because there are two Chinese in the top 20 of the list, one is Li Chaoren from Hong Kong City, last year, Li Chaoren ranked 16th in the world with 16.2 billion US dollars, and this year Li Chaoren's ranking has improved slightly, ranking 15th in the world, and his assets have reached 21 billion US dollars, equivalent to about 140 billion yuan.
Unlike usual, this time Li Chaoren is not the richest man in China, before him, it was Lu Yang.
Lu Yang, a native of Huaxia, 26 years old, has a net worth of 30 billion US dollars, and owns 100% of the shares of Tianxin Group, 97.5% of the shares of Tianxin Planting Company, and 30% of the shares of Jingdong Mall, an online shopping platform in China. None of the companies under its stock are listed and cannot be accurately estimated. According to conservative estimates, Tianxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Tianxin Group, has a marketing revenue of 30 billion US dollars in 09, and its profit margin is comparable to that of Apple. Other companies such as Tianxin Chip and Tianxin Software occupy an important position in the Chinese and global markets, especially Tianxin Super Technology Company, which supplies 80% of the world's smartphone batteries. β
Even Lu Yang was shocked when he looked at this year's rankings. He didn't expect Forbes magazine to make such a bold assessment. Lu Yang didn't know much about their evaluation rules, but to be honest, he didn't think $30 billion overestimated himself. However, the companies of Tianxin Group are not listed companies, and there is no need to publish financial statements, and the outside world does not know about them.
With $30 billion, Lu Yang ranks fourth in the world, second only to Carlos Slim of Mexico, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett of the United States, and this is also the first time that a Chinese has broken into the top five of the Forbes global 100 list. On the list of the richest people in the technology industry, Lu Yang is second only to Bill Gates.
The most dazzling thing is that among the 1,012 people on the list, Lu Yang became the youngest richest person, four months younger than the second-place Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, who ranks 212th this year with a net worth of $4 billion.
Many people have expressed disagreement with this ranking of Forbes. Generally speaking, for unlisted companies, asset valuations are more conservative. But this time, Forbes magazine was really bold on Lu Yang's issue. In comparison, Mark Zuckerberg, who owns 60% of Facebook's shares, is only worth $4 billion, and Lu Yang's net worth is equivalent to 7.5 Mark Zuckerberg, which is obviously unreasonable.
However, some people think that the evaluation of Forbes magazine is reasonable, such as several companies under the Xin Group today have a decisive influence in the field of intelligent electronics in the world, and it is obviously too early to say that Tianxin Group is comparable to Apple, but it is obviously unreasonable to say that it is not even comparable to a tenth of Apple. Moreover, Luyang's industry is different from Mark Zuckerberg's, the focus is on the industrial part, and it is understandable that the valuation is higher.
However, both those who support and oppose believe that once several companies of Tianxin Group in Lu Yang's hands are listed, his wealth will increase at least several times, and it will not be a problem to become the richest man in the world.
"In the latest Forbes magazine ranking of the world's richest people, Lu Yang became the richest Chinese man with a net worth of 30 billion US dollars and more than 200 billion yuan!" Reported on the homepage of the Tianxin community.
"University failed, five years of entrepreneurship, Lu Yang became the richest man in China!" Penguins followed.
"Global Youth Entrepreneurship Leader, Lu Yang Creates a ZΓ o Miracle in Five Years!" The homepage of People's Daily Online reported.
"A new generation of Chinese business leaders!" Sohu reports.
The media in the port city area was also very lively, although everyone was prepared for Lu Yang to surpass Li Chaoren, but when Forbes magazine actually announced it, many people were still dumbfounded.
"The myth of the Internet era, 25-year-old Lu Yang is worth more than 82-year-old Li Chaoren!" The front page headline of the Oriental Daily, the largest circulation in Hong Kong City.
"The richest man in China alternates between the old and the new, and Lu Yang takes over the crown from Li Chaoren!" The headline of the Hong Kong Economic Journal.
"Looking at the economic development of the mainland and the port city from the battle for the richest Chinese!" South China Morning Post headline.
"In the latest Forbes magazine global rich list, Lu Yang ranked fourth and became the pride of the Chinese!" Ming Pao reported.
Since the announcement of the rankings, there have been countless reports about Lu Yang, not only domestic, but also foreign media. Suddenly, Lu Yang became a global topic. It's not surprising that he's so young and so wealthy that too many people are curious about him. The sales of Tianxin Group's products have risen, especially the "fairy" tablet, with weekly sales up 15%.
"Boss, this is the ...... of the interview request of the national station"
"This is the ...... of Minnantai's interview request"

Su Yan and Liu Yun walked into Lu Yang's office with a large pile of texts, and then began to talk non-stop.
"Stop!" Lu Yang interrupted her, "Su Yan, what are these things, don't I have to work for a day?" It's all interviews, and if there's anything to interview, it's all pushed. β
Su Yan smiled: "Boss, you can't blame me, even if it's us, it's impossible to offend so many media at once." I still choose a few media outlets for interviews. β
"Okay." Lu Yang thought about it, this time the matter is so big, it is unlikely to avoid the media.
"Then pick two, one at home and one abroad." Lu Yang Road.
Su Yan saw that her boss had decided not to say more.
"Okay, if you are domestically elected, you will choose the national station, and if you are abroad, you will choose Time Magazine." Su Yan looked at the applications and picked the two with the most influence.
That night, National Channel 1's "Evening News" spent three minutes reporting on Lu Yang as the world's fourth richest man. This is something that has never happened before. The news focused on Lu Yang's entrepreneurial deeds, and intended to set him up as a role model for young people to start a business.
