Chapter 161: The Richest Man Problem (First Update)

You must know that in the 2013 Forbes list of the world's billionaires, the telecom tycoon Carlos from Mexico. For the fourth year in a row, Elou is the world's richest man, with a net worth of $73 billion, compared to Bill Brown. Gates also reached only $67 billion.

And a young man who is only 25 years old, self-made, and his total assets are likely to exceed 100 billion US dollars in the next few years, this news is too topical.

Therefore, when the Times reporter asked this question, almost everyone in the audience focused on Yang Lin, even Cook and Page, who were sitting next to him.

Yang Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, in fact, this so-called Forbes rich list has no meaning in his opinion.

After all, compared to those real bigwigs, Yang Lin is still far behind!

As a simple example, JPMorgan Chase Bank.

As we all know, it is a joint-stock company, and the total net worth of shareholders is $180 billion, but the total deposits of bank customers are $1 trillion, which is far more than that, which means that this money cannot be used to take risks.

But in reality, JPMorgan Chase's total assets have exceeded $2 trillion, and after excluding liabilities (including customer deposits and short-term loans), fixed assets, intangible assets (trademarks, patents, etc.) and shareholders' net assets, it has about $700 billion.

The money does not belong to any of the company's employees and executives.

Rather, it belongs to the consortium behind this bank.

This is also a resource that a top-tier consortium can normally access.

And JPMorgan's shareholders' meeting is not a decision-making body in the true sense of the word. Dimon has long since gotten out of the way because of the huge losses in 2012.

The same is true of Goldman Sachs, which was still a partnership until 1998. The reason why he later became a public company is because he wants shareholders to bear the risk.

Any highly developed capitalist country is enough. Monopoly is its inevitable product.

Wasn't the reason why the Petrostats Export Organization was established back then to deal with Rockefeller's monopoly on oil?

And you'll find out too. As long as the corporations have a monopoly and own the real economy, they will survive no matter how big the crisis is.

Companies like Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns collapsed precisely because they didn't have the support of a huge economic entity.

Those real multinational giants, they often control a country's economic lifeline and even the entire industrial chain, and they can even influence a country's politics, the most typical of which is South Korea's Samsung Group.

Of course, there are also foundations and charities that the top rich will set up to expand their influence, so as to live and educate. Culturally invisibly affects the population.

There is a good saying: "The economy determines politics, and politics serves the economy." ”

In the United States, you could say that the White House is an affiliate of Wall Street, and without Wall Street there would be no America today.

But everyone knows that China cannot have such soil!

The British journalist's intentions behind driving Yang Lin to such a height are not sinister.

Yang Lin remained silent on the surface, and smiled: "Thank you very much for this journalist friend's concern for my wealth, as far as I know, the wealth of Mr. Elu, who topped the Forbes rich list last year, was 74 billion US dollars." Matrix Digital's total assets are currently less than 15 billion yuan, and it still owes 6 billion yuan in loans to banks, so I think it's too early for me to talk about the world's richest man. Not to mention. At present, Matrix Digital has just begun to develop, and it is still a question whether there will be losses in the future, let alone becoming the richest man in the world. ”

Everyone at the scene burst into laughter. Of course, they heard the evasion between Yang Lin's words, but no one deliberately demolished the stage.

"But Mr. Yang ......"

The reporter wanted to continue asking questions. Yang Lin directly interrupted his question and said, "Okay." That's it for today's Q&A session, and now it's time for lunch, and we've arranged a luncheon for you at the Four Seasons near the Convention Center. ”

The scene quickly became noisy, reporters and representatives of various mobile phone companies got up one after another, and then went to eat under the guidance of the staff of Matrix Digital.

Yang Lin also got up to shake hands with Cook and Page respectively, and accompanied them to the hotel for dinner.

……

At this time, the agreement on the tripartite cooperation between Matrix Digital, Apple and Google caused widespread repercussions after it was spread all over the world through the Internet for the first time.

"! No, these three companies are actually working together again? ”

"Did I drink too much or what? Could it be that Matrix Digital really has the effect of an adhesive? Otherwise, how could Apple and Google cooperate with them several times? ”

"I was completely convinced by Yang Lin, and I was able to persuade Apple and Google to join the MatrixOS industry alliance! This is the rhythm of the mobile phone industry! ”

"What the hell is M.G.A? Are we going to enter an era where everyone is a spectacle man in the future? ”

"Whatever you want, whoever you work with, I can't afford Matrix I anyway."

"Why didn't you say how much the Android version of MatrixOS will sell for? I can't grab MatrixI., so I can only replace it with an Android machine! ”

"It's okay for you to use Android, I use Fruit 5S, I bought it in December last year, and I can't flash it if I want to!"

"Haha, Yang Lin hurry up! The position of the world's richest man in the future is waiting for you! ”

……

While netizens from various countries have expressed their opinions on the Internet, some so-called economists have also begun to discuss the impact of the tripartite agreement on the future of the mobile Internet industry.

Some people say that Matrix Digital is likely to develop into a monopoly like Microsoft + Intel, occupying the commanding heights of the mobile Internet industry, and governments should guard against possible monopolistic behaviors in the future.

Some people also believe that the joint establishment of M.G.A. by Matrix Digital, Google and Apple means that a new growth pole in the consumer electronics industry is about to be formed, and the future of this company is very worth looking forward to.

The most speechless thing is that a hawkish senator in the United States said in an interview with reporters that the United States should ban the electronic products of Matrix Digital from entering the United States, because it is very likely to threaten the national security of the United States.

Of course, such rhetoric has long been drowned out by the calls of ordinary Americans for Matrix Digital to increase shipments of Matrix I in North America. (To be continued......)
