Chapter Eighty-Two: The Assets of the Traveling Family

Frankfurt is a small city in Germany that has developed on the basis of transport hubs, and although it has a population of less than one million, it is already the fifth largest city in Germany. In fact, www.biquge.info cities in Germany are not very large, and the largest Berlin has a population of only 3 million, which is only a medium-sized city in China.

This has something to do with Germany's development policy, which has long focused on developing small urban agglomerations rather than building a mega-city, which has more benefits for environmental protection and balanced development.

In terms of industry, they are not as good as the Ruhr industrial area represented by cloning, in terms of trade, they are not as good as Hamburg, Germany's largest seaport, in terms of scientific research, they are not as good as the capital Berlin, and in terms of comprehensiveness, they are not as good as Munich, where crying children have milk.

However, thanks to their easy accessibility, they have developed into the third largest transport hub in Europe and have become the banking center of Europe. With more than 300 international banks and more than 80 percent of Germany's stock market, it is a veritable financial capital.

The Frankfurt Mortgage Bank is a nearly 400-year-old bank that was formed in 1862 by the merger of four private banks to become the world's first joint-stock bank.

Due to Germany's high taxes and transparent financial policies, the bank, which has always been mainly private, is also in decline. For policy reasons, they are not as competitive as the banks of neighboring Switzerland in terms of private finance. However, this does not mean that the bank's system is backward. In fact, before the financial crisis, the bank's return on investment was among the highest in Europe.

It's just that because of the single business project, the ability to resist risks is a little worse, otherwise, Zhou You would not have been able to take advantage of the fire to rob and obtain the ownership of this bank for $2.3 billion.

Zhouyou's personal wealth has been jointly controlled by several internationally renowned accounting firms and law firms, so although it is safe, it will inevitably leak a lot of personal information. Every time Zhou You has any actions and how much money he makes, the outside world is always clear.

Placing your personal wealth in the bank's private finance department, which is then cross-checked by several accounting firms on a rotating basis each year, will also ensure the safety of your own funds, and the confidentiality will be greatly increased.

However, now that he has a big family, it is not a simple matter to change his wealth from his left hand to his right hand. For the preliminary review alone, more than 50 actuarials, 300 accountants, and 100 lawyers have been dispatched to notarize and transfer the property.

During this period, it is necessary to negotiate and apply with the national management department where the assets are located, and it is already fast to be able to complete all the work within a year.

The arrival of Zhou You heralded the official launch of this plan. In this regard, the world's media has turned all their attention to Frankfurt, because this time the assets will be counted into a relatively accurate figure of all the assets under the names of Zhou You and several wives, rather than the deviation of tens of billions of dollars in the major rankings.

In this regard, the American media behaved sourly, not only was Zhou You not an American, but now even the banks and actuarial institutions that helped him manage his assets were not American companies, which made them feel a little lost.

Of course, the Americans were lost, but the Germans were excited. The major media in Germany spoke highly of Zhou You's move, believing that Zhou You's move to take the Frankfurt Mortgage Bank as his asset management bank is definitely a wise move. The rigor and seriousness of the Germans are unmatched by any other country in the world.

The Germans were so happy, of course, because it would bring a lot of business to the Frankfurt mortgage bank, and their government could not deduct tax from the assets traveling, but it could collect the business tax from the mortgage bank.

Suddenly, the news of Zhou You's assassination has been replaced, and countless media are speculating about the specific amount of Zhou You's family's total wealth. Most of the media are predicting that if the Hilton Group, which has become the world's largest hotel group, is annexed, the total wealth of the Zhou You family should not be less than 200 billion US dollars.

However, Zhou You has no confidence in this, the main reason is that due to the impact of the financial crisis, the stock prices of many companies have fallen sharply, and the actuarial calculation of assets at this time will definitely be much lower than the actual value.

If we had waited until after 2013 and the stock prices of major technology companies skyrocketed, these assets would still be worth more than $250 billion.

In the case of Apple, Apple's stock price fell by nearly half in 2008, and its current market value is lower than that of Tencent, which has made a lot of money from games, with a market value of less than $100 billion. In this way, the five percent of the trips are only $5 billion at most. But when Apple's market capitalization rose to $600 billion, Apple's stock alone amounted to $30 billion.

At present, the largest asset in the hands of Zhou You is still Tmall's shares, because it has not been listed, Tmall's valuation is more difficult, but because the turnover closely follows Wal-Mart, coupled with the advanced nature of sales, the profit margin is relatively high, and the market's valuation of Tmall is already higher than Wal-Mart.

Zhou You also directly and indirectly controls 37% of Tmall's shares, and the assets of this piece alone exceed 50 billion US dollars.

The investment holding company is the company with the largest assets under Zhou You's name, and this company holds 5 percent of the shares of each of the 10 major international banks, and the shares of Tmall, Tencent, Apple, Google, and other companies, which alone are worth more than 100 billion US dollars.

Secondly, it is the development holding company under the name of Zhou You, which controls the overall industrial investment and upgrading of the five South American countries, almost controls the economies of these five countries, and also has a large amount of investment in other countries in South America, plus the current investment in Africa, the scale of this part of the assets is not small.

As for the industrial shares invested by the government controlled in Singapore, the investment in Langkawi Island in Malaysia, the film and television city in the mainland, the cinema chain, the cinema chain controlled by the United States, and the spinach company in the United States, the spinach company in Europe, the media company, the Atletico club and other industries, although they are already astronomical compared to the average person, but the proportion of wealth in the travel is not large.

The effects of the assassination are still unfolding, but the investigation has been fruitless. Because until now, the identity of the gunman has not been identified.

In the aftermath of the clash with the Libyan military, Mr. Young has been criticizing the Libyan military for obstructing the investigation in front of major media outlets, arguing that they played a dishonorable role behind the incident.

The dismissal of Muhammad, the colonel of the Libyan peacekeeping forces, by Qaddafi on the spot, has not reversed the criticism of them, and some hostile media have even deliberately smeared them as the real culprits behind the actions of Zhou You.

Although Zhou You has no grievances with Gaddafi, many people are still willing to see this kind of conspiracy theory. They also deliberately or unintentionally compared Zhou You to Gaddafi, and even referred to the two of them as opponents.

And for good reason. Libya has always been the most financially sound country in Africa due to oil development in the nineties, and Gaddafi often even refers to himself as the spokesman of Africa because of his money. Think of Africa as your own turf.

In the African Union, Gaddafi has always been more domineering, and he often arranges African Union meetings to be held in Libya using economic means. The AU headquarters in Libya is also being requested.

And he will also serve as the rotating chairman of the AU next year, and he has even shouted in front of the media that he will try to determine the construction of the new AU headquarters in Libya during his tenure.

Such a leader, who sees Africa as his own backyard, now faces a strong entry into the hands of Zhou You, who is richer and more financially sophisticated. Although there is no one country to support Zhou You, there are companies from the mainland, Singapore, France, Spain, and now Germany behind him.

From the economic level alone, the strength of Zhou You is far greater than that of Gaddafi, because according to media statistics, the total economic volume of interest groups related to Zhou You has almost caught up with the GDP of the United States, and it can be said that it is the world's largest economic group.

Of course, this calculation has a gimmick, because it is impossible for Zhou You to control such a large group. It can only be said that there are economic exchanges and cooperation between each other. Not to mention the tens of thousands of enterprises, the GDP of the ten banks alone has exceeded one trillion dollars, but can it be said that Zhou You controls these ten banks? Of course not.

The media commented that because Zhou You had encroached on Gaddafi's interests, the other party wanted to assassinate him. But in reality, it was clear to Zhou that Gaddafi had no reason to do so.

Even if there was a conflict, it was just that the commander wanted to deliberately give Youngbili some derailment, and did not want him to violate the dignity of Libya. It's just that he didn't expect that the consequences of this incident would be so serious.

Because of his lack of cooperation, everyone stared at them with suspicion, and Gaddafi was already angry and wanted to vomit blood.

On October 26, after holding a press conference, Zhou You disappeared in front of people. However, countless actuaries and accountants were at the headquarters of the mortgage bank, and a comprehensive appraisal and handover of the traveling assets began.

The Sanyi team from China arrived in Germany as early as the 24th, and they first went to the Prinz Group for inspection. They were accompanied by a heavyweight, who is now the president of South America, Arango.

Arango's appearance represented Zhou You's opinion, and the Prinz Group learned that Zhou You had also joined, and there was almost no resistance, looking forward to being acquired by Sanyi as soon as possible.

Because if the Prinz Group is acquired by Sanyi, it means that they will have countless large orders, which will greatly change their current difficult situation.

Sanyi's negotiations with the Nanyang Group took place in an old castle hotel on the outskirts of Frankfurt, but Zhou You did not participate in the negotiations. He could not play much of a role in the actual negotiations, and as long as the negotiations did not deviate from his instructions, there was no need for him to participate at all.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Zhou Yu returned to Africa on the Gulfstream, but this time instead of Ethiopia, he went straight back to his training camp.

Although the results of the official investigation were not released, Yang Billy and his team finally found out the identity of the gunman through the eyes of security guards scattered across Africa.

The gunman was a well-trained soldier from UNITA in Angola named Mbéto. Zhou You also looked at many photos of this Mberto and confirmed his identity.

Although his identity was found, Zhou You didn't want to make a noise. Because although UNITA is fighting against the government forces, they have been instructed by the United States not to allow them to take any action against the tour.

When the UNITA commander learned that the gunman turned out to be his own man, he also hurriedly traveled from Angola to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to apologize and clarify Zhou You in person.

Zhou You met with several of their representatives at the base, and although the two sides fought a battle this time last year, it was mainly because of the abduction and killing of several of Zhou You's security guards and exploration personnel, so Zhou You's retaliation.

After knowing that it was Anjie's doing, Zhou You stopped attacking UNITA. Although they were eventually defeated by government forces, their main enemies were government forces, not Zhou You.

Under the mediation of the U.S. government, Zhou You donated a sum of money to them with a secret account, and the two sides resolved their hatred. They produced Mbeto's details, and after checking themselves, there was ample evidence that Mberto was able to secretly infiltrate the AU headquarters from Zambia several countries away, which was not something they were capable of.

Zhou You also knew that they couldn't do it, and if they were really capable, they wouldn't be able to defeat the SPLM supported by Cuba with the support of the United States and South Africa, and they would lose the country.

Neither side wanted to make a noise, so all information about Mberto was immediately destroyed. Although Zhou You is curious about who arranged for Mberto to kill him, his curiosity is not so serious. It's better if this matter can be found out, and even if it can't be found, Zhou You doesn't feel sorry.

Because since Zhou You's decision was made that night, this matter has gone off the rails. Even if the murderer behind the scenes is standing in front of Zhou You now, Zhou You will only take revenge without affecting the overall situation of his plan. If it will be affected, Zhou You can even let each other go.

After all, he is not damaged in the slightest, and this is not a hatred that cannot be resolved, relative to interests, this can be put down.

Ten years after being reborn, Zhou You thinks that he has finally become a big man now. If you want to become a big man, you must only have a conflict of interests, and there is no right or wrong. The world is never black and white, and the complexity is far beyond the limits of one person's ability and knowledge. Even if you are a big man, you can't completely control the overall situation, all you can do is to move the chess pieces a little bit and make things develop in a more favorable direction for yourself.

The investigation of the matter is still going on in secret, but Zhou You did not come forward, but allowed Youngbili to fight with the Libyan side, and poured as much sewage as possible on the Libyans.

So much so that Gaddafi couldn't help but call Zhou You to explain, and Zhou You also said in front of the media that there was no evidence that the assassination was related to the Libyan authorities, and the matter slowly faded down.

However, Zhou Yu played a word game in this place. Indeed, there is no evidence now, so it has nothing to do with Libya, and if "evidence" is found, it is related!
