Chapter 145 The richest man is not easy to be

(Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish all book friends good health, happy families, successful careers, and a prosperous Year of the Rooster.) Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info also weakly wishes the old demon himself a good harvest in the New Year. )

Zhou You didn't have time to stay in Colombia all the time, so he went around here and accompanied Yan Fangqing and Gracia for a few days, and half a month passed.

Although the negotiations with Wal-Mart have not yet ended, under the strong pressure of public opinion, the process of negotiations has been revealed little by little.

First of all, it is the share exchange agreement between the two parties, under the verbal sword of the two parties, after a week of arguments, Zhou You finally reached a one-to-one share exchange ratio with Wal-Mart. However, because Wal-Mart took advantage of it here, Zhou You's shares in Tencent were also sold to Wal-Mart for five points, which means that Wal-Mart also had five shares of Tencent.

In the Alipay project, Wal-Mart also got 20% of the shares, this project is a separate project of Zhou You and Tencent, and it is not related to the part of Tencent's listing, but the video project and cloud service project, because it involves more than 5 billion investment in Tencent, this is inseparable from Tencent.

As soon as this news was exposed, Zhou You became popular again. Why, first of all, the direct increase in the assets of the tour is a billion dollars, because this is five percent of Wal-Mart's stock price now,

The second is the high valuation of Tmall, because according to such a share exchange ratio, it is equivalent to putting Tmall and Walmart to the same valuation. Wal-Mart is a listed company, and their market value is affirmed by the market, but a company that has just been established for more than four months is valued at $200 billion, which is too inconsistent with the laws of the market.

Of course, neither Zhou You nor Wal-Mart will include Tencent's shares in this, because this part of the shares was sold to Wal-Mart according to the valuation of Tencent's IPO, and Zhou You gained another two billion US dollars from this five percent of the shares. Because Tencent's valuation is rigorously calculated by a number of financial institutions.

However, this is a private placement before listing, the valuation is 40 billion, and the listed stock price must be more than 30% higher than this price, and it is very likely that Tencent can quickly enter the 200 billion club, and at that time, Wal-Mart will not suffer a loss.

As a veteran commercial organization, Wal-Mart will not do loss-making business, although they don't understand Internet companies, but they know very well that Tengxun, which has the big killer of Alipay in their hands, will not be able to defeat even if it declines in the future.

Of course, if according to the proportion of Wal-Mart's share exchange, Zhou You still directly owns 20% of Tmall's shares, which will be worth $40 billion, and indirectly holds 12%, which is more than $20 billion.

Coupled with Wal-Mart's shares, Google's shares, Tencent's shares, Apple's shares, casinos' shares and investments, UFC's shares, as well as Zhouyou's investments in the mainland, Spain's shares, Colombia's shares, as well as real estate in various places, Singapore's shares, Zhouyou's assets now exceed $85 billion.

Even if Tmall's shares are halved, Zhou You's wealth will exceed 50 billion US dollars, and in 2004, Bill Gates's wealth has shrunk to only 46 billion US dollars, that is to say, when this year's wealth ranking comes out, Zhou You will become the richest man in the world!

The richest man in the world, still a 24-year-old young man, is still self-made, all of which makes everyone think it is incredible.

But that's the reality!

The advisory department had predicted this situation before the negotiations, so whether it was Adelson or Barron Sr., they were actively communicating with the major media outlets, trying to glorify the travel when they reported on it, and he didn't want to be set up as a class enemy by the American media.

In fact, although Zhou You's personal wealth is large, it is still very inferior to many families. Not to mention Morgan and other conglomerates, let's talk about the Walton family, they still have 46 percent of Wal-Mart's shares, plus other investments, the family fortune is more than 120 billion US dollars.

Of course, in terms of personal legal wealth, Zhou You is a veritable richest man in the world. He is also the first newcomer in nine years to pull Bill Gates off the wealth list, and he has made countless Asians face longer.

So during this time, the media in the mainland and Singapore were simply crazy, but Zhou You, who was a state guest, was a guest at the state level in Colombia, and reporters had no way to get close to him.

But with one less phone call, he can only come back obediently with his wife and children. Of course, Zhou You is not afraid of him, but because the young head is about to become a real prime minister.

Since the establishment of Tmall last year, analysts from all walks of life in Singapore have believed that Zhou You's wealth will rise significantly, but they didn't expect that Zhou You would become the richest man in less than a year.

After getting Zhou You and Walmart to reach a share exchange agreement, the young head sat alone under the rainy eaves for a long time. He still clearly remembers that four years ago, Zhou You said that he wanted to become the richest man in the world, and he also joked that Zhou You didn't know the sky. But it didn't take ten years at all, just four years, and the trip was already successful.

Of course, Singapore has helped in the development of Zhou You, but the return of Zhou Yu to Singapore is far greater than what he wants. Needless to say, Temasek took $1.2 billion for a Tmall project alone, and in less than a year, $1.2 billion has become $40 billion, which is more profitable than any windfall profit!

At this time, the young head is also ready to change the previous control mode and change it to a cooperation mode. And the benefits that he brought to Singapore by the richest man in the world will be long-term and far-reaching, and no one else can bring more benefits to Singapore than him, even less than himself.

Zhou You returned to Singapore, gave a television interview to Mediacorp, and then congratulated Shao Zhangmen as the only candidate for becoming the prime minister.

After having a meal at the young master's house, the two sides talked about many future plans, but when the young master asked what Zhou You's recent plans were, Zhou You's answer made the young master laugh.

Because the answer of Zhou You is...... Money!

Indeed, it is an honor to become the richest man in the world, but it is also a responsibility, if you can only make money and not spend money, the status of the richest man will bring him a serious crisis of public opinion, because no matter where you are, there will be hatred of the rich.

The main reason why Bill Gates faded out of management and focused on charity was because he needed to downplay the negative impact of wealth on him.

Of course, it's not Bill Gates, his wealth isn't just based on Microsoft, and his business doesn't need to be obscure like Microsoft. Like Tmall, it needs his reputation to support the scene, the Colombian project needs his strength to maintain balance, and the casino also needs his reputation to do publicity, as for several Internet companies, he is not the leader, and he does not need to be the main responsibility.

However, you must also learn to spend money when traveling, and you must know how to spend money, and the best one to do this is Bill Gates in the previous life. He has been donating money, but the money has been donated more and more, and he has received countless praises.

But there are also negative examples, donating money but leading to more scolding, such as a large real estate developer surnamed Pan in Beijing, who donated 15 million dollars each to Harvard and Yale, but fell into the reputation of a traitor, although this accusation did not have much impact on him personally, but his reputation was stinky.

Therefore, how to spend money is also a travel, especially Yan Fangqing needs to study hard.

In this regard, He Jing is more experienced than Zhou You and Yan Fangqing, so after listening to Zhou You's answer, He Jing also gave Yan Fangqing a lot of advice in this regard.

The task of spending money was handed over to Yan Fangqing, and his current task was to make money. And in the United States, there is still a lot of money waiting for him to take over.

First of all, it is the IPO funds before Google's listing, due to the policy of the United States, Zhou You, as a foreigner, cannot hold more than 5% of the shares in sensitive enterprises, so before Google goes public, Zhou You must reduce his 10% stake to 5%.

And several major financial institutions have already prepared funds, just waiting for the signing of Zhou You.

At the same time, the tax police in the United States are also gearing up, waiting for the arrival of Zhou You, because the tax to be paid this time is not a small amount.

When he first invested in Google stock, Zhou You had not yet established his own investment company, but invested in his own name, which made his taxes seem very simple, and after six progressives, he paid the highest percentage of 35%. In fact, those six progressive times didn't save him much money, because it was too much, and the hundreds of thousands of dollars in underpaid taxes were not worth mentioning at all.

Zhou You's sale of Google's stock will bring in $1.75 billion, which is almost a 35 percent tax deduction.

This will have to pay $600 million in taxes to the U.S. government at one time, and anyone will feel distressed. Therefore, before going to the United States, Zhouyou's secretary group had already identified several major purchases for Zhouyou.

First of all, it is to book a Boeing 747 long-range passenger plane that is larger than Air Force One in the United States, which can accommodate nearly 600 people according to the two-class cabin, and even the third-class cabin can accommodate more than 500 people. But now, the plane will be a special plane for circumnavigation.

According to Boeing's quotation, the price of this kind of aircraft is 350 million US dollars, but in fact, there is a big splash in it, according to the preliminary negotiations, if the decoration is not included, a little more than 200 million can be won, according to the luxury decoration, it can be done within 280 million US dollars.

Secondly, the secretary team helped Zhou You order two Cadillac bulletproof cars, which are almost exactly the same as George W. Bush's car, anyway, how safe and how to come. Spending more than 200 million yuan can also save nearly 100 million dollars in taxes.

Zhou You came to the United States again, and as soon as his plane landed at Long Beach Airport, several entrances and exits of the airport were surrounded, and countless reporters wanted to directly interview Zhou You, the new richest man in the world.

Paris, this chick is really sassy now, she is very sassy, Zhou You has become the richest man in the world, she is happier than Zhou You, because she has another name to show off.

Zhou You didn't give any interviews, but this time he brought a group of bodyguards, and he was not afraid that he would be disturbed. But Paris has been scratching her head and posing to attract the camera, if she didn't travel allowed, she couldn't wait to bring the Central Plains out to attract people.

It is said that he couldn't find the north during this time, and the movie was a mess, wasting countless films, and Bruckheimer was going to cry. With Zhou You as the backstage, the other actors didn't dare to say anything, and even Disney didn't dare to say that they would change roles, so they could only accommodate her aunt and grandmother.

However, traveling around to become the richest man in the world is also a good thing for Disney, because this is a movie in which the world's richest man wants to participate, even if you don't talk about the quality of the movie, just for this gimmick, it is worth going into the cinema to see it.

Now Pirates of the Caribbean Part 3 has become the most anticipated summer file of 2006, and there is no one. There are even many theaters that strongly demand that it be released in advance, asking for the second part to be scheduled for New Year's Day in 2005 and the third part to be scheduled until the end of the year, but now that the film has just begun to be filmed, Disney does not dare to change its plans now.

On April 5, the second day of the Qingming Festival, Zhou You signed an equity transfer agreement with Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse First Boston at Google's headquarters in Mountain View.

Subsequently, the cooperation with Walmart is not this transaction model. First, Walmart has a lot of money abroad, and secondly, money transactions in many regions are lower than taxes in the United States. In addition, Walmart China can also save a lot of costs for Walmart China by directly trading Tencent's shares with Zhouyou, and at the same time, these accounts can also be counted as a tax deduction for the headquarters.

Therefore, Zhou You signed a cooperation agreement with Wal-Mart in the United States, a share exchange agreement, and did not sell Tencent shares.

However, at this point, Zhou You's net worth has increased significantly after getting Walmart shares. After making money, all that was left was to spend it, and the plane flew directly from Bentonville in the middle to Seattle in the northwest corner.

Here, I spent two days ordering myself an oversized 747 private jet with four bedrooms, a conference room, a lounge, and a sports house.

The cargo hold of the plane alone can accommodate more than 20 cars, and you will never have to ride in an unfamiliar car when you go out in the future. And because the plane has a range of 17,000 kilometers, it means that no matter how far you want to go in the world, you don't need to stop to refuel.

Of course, such an airplane is also a natural oil tiger, the average fuel consumption per kilometer is 17 liters, flying from Singapore to Colombia, you need to burn 225,000 liters of aviation kerosene, even according to Platts spot oil prices, the cost of a liter is 0.4 US dollars, the cost of this trip also needs 90,000 US dollars, plus the airport construction fee, equivalent to the cost of 100,000 US dollars.

But for Zhou You, this money doesn't seem to be a big deal.
