The wealth of capital is originally a snowball, as long as it does not encounter a big hole and shatter the snowball, it will roll bigger and bigger. Or like a sponge, the bigger the sponge, the more water it absorbs.

From 2005 to 2007, Zhouyou's wealth experienced a period of leapfrog development. Among them, there is the wealth brought by the appreciation of the shares of several Internet companies, but what really surprised everyone was the two companies founded by Zhou You.

One is Tmall, which was originally used by Zhou You to make money, Tmall was stripped of the vital payment system by Zhou You, but it was inserted by Zhou You at the beginning of the big data that made everyone look forward to quenching their thirst. After the concept of big data was put forward by Zhou You, the concepts of Internet + and Internet of Things were put forward as gimmicks one by one, which made everyone's blood tremble.

However, Zhou You was imprisoned for half a year and stranded in the United States for another year, and his heart was occupied by the anger brought by the US government, so he only remembered to take revenge on the United States and forgot to list Tmall.

Another reason for this is that Tmall is not bad for money, and the supplier's payment alone has been kept in the account for a long time, and Liu Qidong is not willing to thin his shares on Tmall's listing, so this matter has been delayed.

However, just by virtue of Zhou You's one-to-one share exchange with Wal-Mart, although there is a price of 5% of Tencent's shares, most people don't know it. Most people only see that Tmall and Wal-Mart, which has a market value of $200 billion, have a one-to-one share swap, so Tmall's market value is equivalent to $200 billion.

Moreover, Tmall's turnover also exceeded 1 trillion yuan in 2006, surpassing Carrefour and becoming the world's second largest retailer after Wal-Mart, which made the market more confident in Tmall's stock price.

The current Tmall is not the Tmall of the Taobao period, because the pressure on Zhou You from the beginning is greater, so it only reduces the cost of middlemen, rather than the strategy of low-price dumping, Tmall's profits are much higher than those of Jingdong and Tmall in the previous life.

Although Liu Qidong has increased a lot of investment in basic industries for Tmall, built warehousing warehouses and logistics networks across the country, and spent huge sums of money to develop big data and invest in scientific research, Tmall's net profit of more than 10% is unmatched by any retailer.

If you remove Tmall's various expenses, although Tmall's turnover is only a little more than half of Wal-Mart's, its gross profit is higher than that of Wal-Mart.

It is said that now should be a good opportunity for Tmall to go public, but the arrival of the subprime mortgage crisis has made Zhou You ignore the urging of the outside world, and there is no idea of letting Tmall go public. Since you want to make money, of course, you have to wait until the market is at its best, and now is not a good time.

Another company that has added huge wealth to Zhou You is his Nanyang Holdings, which controls the overall development of the five South American countries, and almost controls the economic power of these five countries, which cannot be assessed simply by wealth.

Zhou You has invested a total of 12 billion US dollars in these countries, and nearly 10 billion US dollars will be invested in the future, but the 22 billion US dollars will not be exchanged for Zhou You, even if you take 100 billion now.

Money comes and goes fast, and the cash in Zhou You's hand has not been much, in fact, except for monopoly companies, few companies will leave a large amount of money in their hands.

Without affecting the operations of individual companies, the amount of capital available to Zhou You generally does not exceed $10 billion. But since he left the United States, he has spent more than $50 billion.

The first is that there is no investment there, in addition to starting to invest money in Colombia, Zhou You took out eight billion dollars to invest in Venezuela, Peru and other countries. The second is the acquisition of shares in six banks, of which two foreign banks alone spent more than $18 billion on travel, and the big four banks spent almost $10 billion on travel.

Most of the rest of the money was invested in the battle to control futures prices and, of course, the foreign exchange swaps that he had been operating.

Although he raised a large amount of money from Tmall and made a large mortgage on his shares, he spent so much money that the funds in his hands were almost bottomed out, leaving less than half a billion dollars.

He is not a high-risk investor, and most of the projects he invests in are mainly safe, so although he is now burdened with tens of billions of foreign debts, his assets have increased significantly, and the debt ratio has been controlled below 40 percent, and the debt ratio is very safe.

After the release of the Forbes list in 2007, two people attracted the attention of the world. One is Zhou You, whose assets have risen by more than $20 billion when the world's economy is in trouble, and the wealth gap with the second place Bill Gates continues to widen.

Another is Adelson, a partner of Zhou You, who relied on Sands Macao's excellent performance to greatly increase its stock price, and his wealth skyrocketed, bursting the chrysanthemums of dozens of celebrities in one fell swoop, and jumping to the seventh place in the world's richest list.

Unfortunately, the amount of assets is not equal to the amount of funds, and although Zhou You has a wealth of nearly $150 billion, he now has only $5 billion in funds at his disposal. Even if he used some of his stock collateral, he would only be able to raise no more than $20 billion at most, because many of his assets had been pledged once. Unless he sells these shares, he can get more money1.

But at such a time, the stock price of most companies is stuck in a quagmire, and it is not a good time to transfer, so Zhou You has no such idea at all.

In fact, not only he knows very well how much money Zhou You has, but also all countries in the world. As the richest man in the world, he is a thorn in the side of Western countries, because his existence represents that the system of Western countries is not the best, and the development environment of the West is not the best. Therefore, he did not dare to raise his debt to a dangerous situation, so that he would definitely face countless intrigues against him.

The purpose of this plan is to consume the limited funds in Zhou You's hands, so that he will not have any extra funds to stir up trouble in the financial market.

This is not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy. Because such a plan is a plan that benefits both sides, it will promote the development of Zhouyou, so I am not afraid that Zhouyou will not be hooked. Even if Zhou You really doesn't take the bait, there will be other plans to seduce him later, and there will always be cooperation that makes Zhou You excited.

However, no one expected that Zhou You had already negotiated a $20 billion allocation with the mainland before this, and the funds he could use were definitely not as much as everyone estimated.

On July 9, Paris signed a partnership agreement with world-renowned car manufacturer Bentley to develop an eight-cylinder Continental GT sports car, which will be fully designed by the design team and will be launched as a convertible.

As the fastest coupe in the world, Bentley has always been the crown jewel of the automobile kingdom, and compared to the aging Rolls-Royce, the younger Bentley is obviously more pleasing to young people.

This can be shown in the later car sales, as the world's three largest luxury models, Bentley's sales have always been the best, and Rolls-Royce can only rank second. As for the German Maybach, production only resumed in 2002, but it suffered a lot of losses and finally had to withdraw from the market.

Bentley's GT sports car, in particular, has been the most classic coupe in the world since its debut, and this model has not undergone major changes until 2016, when it was reborn, but sales are still high.

The fact that Paris's design team was able to work with Bentley, although the financial benefits may not be many, but there are countless benefits to the Paris brand.

Paris attaches great importance to this cooperation, and in order to carry the village for his wife, Zhou You also went to the headquarters of Bentley in Crewe County to attend the press conference when they signed the contract.

At the launch event, 12 Bentley GT Pariss were ordered, including six hardtops and six convertibles. This can be regarded as a good advertisement for Bentley, and the media all over the world published the news, and in just a few days, the manufacturers received orders that were almost enough for them to produce for two years.

Countless people are speculating about who the twelve Bentleys that Zhou You bought were going to give them to. But before the car was produced, no one could guess the intention of Zhou You.

Because of this cooperation, Paris also began to get busy, and for a while, Zhou You was also left out in the cold.

On July 16, Zhou You formally signed the share transfer agreement and subscription agreement with the Royal Bank of Scotland in London. Among them, there are two equity transfer agreements, one is 4.26% of the Bank of China held by the Royal Bank of Scotland, according to the average price of the Bank of China's stock price in the first three weeks, Zhou You did not pay any floating profits, and obtained the equity of the Bank of China at a price of 2 billion and tens of millions of US dollars.

However, the agreement must also be approved by the BOC's board of directors, the Mainland Securities and Futures Commission, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Commission and the UK Securities Regulatory Authority.

The second share transfer agreement is a 3.6 percent Tier 1 capital stake in Royal Bank of Scotland, for which Zhou You will pay a further $3.6 billion based on the current market value of Royal Bank of Scotland. However, this agreement still requires the approval of the UK securities regulatory authority.

The third agreement was a subscription agreement, in which 30 percent of the shares were subscribed to by the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is a sum of 3.6 billion pounds, almost equivalent to $7 billion.

The total amount of the three agreements reached 12.6 billion US dollars, and what shocked people all over the world was that Zhou You did not take the debt acquisition method at all, that is, he took the shares to the bank as collateral and acquired them through bank funds, and he only needed to pay a small amount of funds and high interest to get the ownership of these shares. Instead, it announced that all the funds would be paid in cash, and there would be no debt at all.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar all over the world, and at this time, not to mention individuals, even a country, can quietly come up with more than 10 billion US dollars, no more than 50 at most.

The world's major media have used the headline of the rich country to push Zhou You to the forefront again, and the British securities regulatory department acted quickly this time, approving the equity transfer agreement on the 19th, and Zhou You also paid 10.6 billion US dollars in cash directly through HSBC's account.

As for the $2 billion from the Bank of China, it will not come into effect until the mainland authorities have approved it.

This time, of the $10.6 billion, HSBC undertook $5 billion of the bridge loan, of course, this is requested by HSBC on its own initiative, and the interest will certainly not be as high as the bridge loan, but will be calculated according to the normal commercial interest.

When the whole world was shocked by Zhou You's big move, Zhou You had already taken a special plane and returned to his hometown Xiangcheng directly from London.

Last weekend, Yan Fangqing took the children who had been on summer vacation to London for a weekend, and this time when she returned to China, Paris didn't have time, so she traveled alone with five children and became a good daddy.

Among these, the most worry-free is Zhongxuan, who is seven and a half years old and usually acts like a little adult, and knows how to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.

Originally, the most uneasy was Zhong'an, this little girl has a lot of whimsy in her head, she is energetic and energetic, and she likes to toss people the most. But she has recently become obsessed with Taylor Swift, a rising American diva, who spends her time in her room watching her music videos and asking Zhou You to hire a guitar teacher for him to learn guitar.

She couldn't even hold the guitar when she was less than five years old, and now learning the guitar is more like a joke.

When he returned to China this time, the most tormenting thing for him was the Central Plains, which was usually the most worry-free. Because when he left London, he was held in Paris's arms and made out for a while, but when he left, he forgot his backpack. The backpack contained some small gifts he bought in London, including a pair of kissing dolls for Ma Hongtao's wedding.

The gifts were not brought on the plane, and when he found out that the plane had already taken off, he began to make a fuss. He usually doesn't talk much, like a stuffy gourd, and his personality seems to be relatively docile, but he is very assertive in his heart, and he can be said to be a little paranoid.

It's not easy to coax such a child to make trouble, not to mention that he is only four years old. Zhou You lost his temper for the first time because of him, but in the end, he still had to coax him with good words, promised him countless unequal treaties along the way, and several brothers and sisters coaxed him, and finally calmed down this little turmoil.

As a result, along the way, no official business was dealt with, and nothing was done. After getting off the plane, Zhou You had to continue to deal with official business, and he was drunk with a group of brothers at night, and offended Yan Fangqing, who washed himself, and Gracia, who specially rushed back from South America.
