Chapter 208, World Records
"Guinness Records!" Hearing Martin Goodman's words, Lei Weidong felt inexplicable: "Martin, what world record?" When did I break the world record, and how did I not know? ”
"This record is the fastest time to break the world record for becoming a billionaire, and I can't think of anyone else who can beat yours!"
Martin Goodman said half-jokingly, half-seriously: "In just half a year, Harry has crossed the bottleneck of tens of millions to hundreds of millions of assets, and you have completed it by your own efforts, so the owner of this Guinness record must be Harry." ”
Hearing Martin Goodman's words, Lei Weidong understood what he said he relied on to break the Guinness World Record.
But for this record, Lei Weidong looks at it very lightly, because the Guinness Book of Records is a thing, and the messy records in it actually have no effect, because many records can be broken as long as you have money, why can the mainland break so many Guinness World Records in the future, like the world's largest moon cakes, the biggest cakes are actually smashed with money.
As for making money like Lei Weidong, it's even more meaningless, because it is absolutely impossible for him to break it, you must know that the speed of making money of those financial predators in history is astonishing.
For example, the Rothschilds, who have the title of the Sixth European Reich, are the real masters. The money he made in Waterloo is said to have bought Britain, which is nothing compared to what he is now.
Not to mention the Rothschild family, even if the crocodiles hidden under the water are pulled up to make a comparison, Lei Weidong will immediately hide in the corner of the wall to draw circles. The gap is just too big.
"Forget it, what's the point of Martin's record, the fastest assets are tens of millions to billions, you know what my first feeling was when I heard this record!"
"Of course it's to show off, Harry must know that you are now the youngest billionaire in the United States, as long as you make a name for yourself, the girls on blind dates tomorrow can fill the Golden Gate Bridge!" Martin Goodman laughed as he hung his cigar.
"How can I be so superficial!" Lei Weidong shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking, the dollar is depreciating too fast!" At the beginning of this century, when steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie became the richest man in the world, his assets were only 500 million US dollars, and now I have made hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time, but I am definitely not worth the most valuable among the richest people in the United States. ”
"That's right!" Martin Goodman nodded: "In the fifties and sixties, millionaires were the top people in the United States, and now they need at least 10 million to become the top people in the United States. ”
"This is just the beginning, the dollar will depreciate even more in the future! It is estimated that it will take more than 100 million to become the top person in the United States in seven or eight years, and it is very likely to be more than 1 billion in 20 years! ”
"It can't be so exaggerated!" Martin Goodman was taken aback by Lei Weidong's words and said with some disbelief.
"How is it impossible, you can understand when you look at Apple, how could there be a company that developed so fast in the past!"
"That's right!" Martin Goodman thought about Apple's development history and couldn't help but nodded, he was really a little outdated.
"That's why it's true to make a fortune in a low-key way!" Lei Weidong crossed Erlang's legs and said:
"Besides, I'm not an adult yet, so it's not good to be exposed too early, so it's better to stay behind the scenes? And it's so tiring to live in the spotlight. ”
"For example, Hollywood stars don't have any privacy at all. Every move is watched by so many people, and it's so troublesome to have a few more girlfriends! So the scenery or something, let those celebrities do it for you! For people like us, it's better to hide and count the money quietly. ”
"It seems that you still have a lot of experience in how to be the boss, and now you like to hide behind the scenes and pretend to be pigs and eat tigers!" Hearing Lei Weidong's words, Martin Goodman also smiled.
"I know that you young people like nothing more than standing in the spotlight, and those Hollywood stars, the rich second generation, came from here. Originally, I thought that you would like this kind of life to some extent, but I didn't expect you to think about the same as an old man like us. ”
"Lei Shao!" Chen Dazhuang walked over and interrupted the conversation between Lei Weidong and Martin Goodman.
"How is it, Brother Chen, is there any problem? How much money did I earn this time? Lei Weidong asked curiously, you must know that "Transformers" is the most popular time now, that is to say, this year's licensing is the most profitable time, and it would be good to have half of this year's licensing fee next year, and the licensing fee will be much less every year in the future. This is also the disadvantage of comics, which will not work after being popular for a while, unlike many celebrities who are becoming more and more valuable.
"Lei Shao! Through the broadcast rights of this anime, as well as the licensing of clothing, stationery and other products, as well as the game adaptation rights, etc., your income will be 337 million dollars! Chen Dazhuang's voice trembled a little.
You must know that when he first calculated this amount, Chen Dazhuang almost didn't believe his glasses, which is close to 1.7 billion Hong Kong dollars! How could it be so much.
In order to prevent mistakes, everyone calculated several times in a row, and finally made sure that they were not wrong! Now Chen Dazhuang knows that he has witnessed a miracle, the birth of a billionaire who is only 14 years old.
If you add Lei Weidong's wealth in Hong Kong, this teenager's wealth will definitely exceed 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.
"330,007 million US dollars,Hearing this amount,Lei Weidong was also a little surprised!
You must know that these are only the profits of licensing, not including your own income from comics and toys, although the licensing period is a bit long, two years.
But if you count the income from toys this year, Lei Weidong may have made more than $600 million in 1978 from "Transformers" alone, which is more than the usual profits of Space Hasbro.
You must know that at that time, Hasbro was making more than a billion dollars in revenue in five years. Did I remember it wrong? Or at that time, Hasboy concealed its profits.
"By the way, Harry, I have something very important for you, and I hope you will be prepared, which is about our US tax rate." Martin Goodman smiled a little dazed when he saw Lei Weidong after hearing the amount, and suddenly said such a sentence.
Taxes, Lei Weidong is not a fool, he immediately understood what Martin Goodman meant, so Lei Weidong, who understood how terrible the US tax rate was, immediately turned bad.
Thousands of no, no, Lei Weidong should not forget the damn tax rate in the United States, this is definitely a life-threatening issue.
And Lei Weidong also figured out why the company usually earned billions of dollars in profits in five years, one reason is that it paid taxes, and the other is that the company must have concealed its profits through some means.
"Oh, damn it, I forgot such an important thing, and I need your reminder Martin, or I'll have to suffer a big loss." Lei Weidong said with a happy face.
You must know that the tax rate in the United States is very terrible, if those taxes in the United States are not prepared, it will definitely make people bleed, Lei Weidong got nearly 300 million US dollars here, so if the tax is paid completely, it is estimated that nearly half of the money will be stripped away.
