The so-called rich list is not credible, and this is relatively clear to everyone.

But to what extent the rich list is unreliable, few people will know.

So when Li Chaoren said that he could give 50 billion US dollars in exchange for Lin Xiao to extend his life, Lin Xiao felt more and more that this ranking was nonsense at all, and there was no truth at all.

Due to the great controversy caused by the rich list in previous years, the formulators of the rich list have also changed some practices in recent years, although they still use the past framework, and the evaluation standard is the total amount of assets, but the content has also added some innovative products, such as IT, real estate and other sub-projects calculation methods.

Moreover, the calculation also takes into account the price that can be traded in the market, and in addition, it is not reluctant to make it to some rich people who do not want to be on the list, which may avoid some unnecessary controversy.

However, in the context that many countries and regions do not have a complete personal asset statistics system and tax inspection system, and the transparency of enterprise and personal assets is not high, there are still great inaccuracies in counting a person's wealth.

In addition, if this evaluation criterion is not universally recognized, then the scientific validity of its ranking is debatable.

Regardless of the Forbes China Mainland Rich List in previous years, or other rich lists, the richest people on the list are very different from those in the United States.

Forbes' list of America's richest people, most of the wealth of the richest people on the list comes from listed companies, that is, the value of the shares they own in the stock market, and this ownership is very transparent.

In China, many wealthy people are not listed, and even if they do, the wealth they have in the capital market is not transparent.

Some wealthy people in mainland China are resistant to the ranking list, believing that this is a pig-killing list, which will only attract covetousness from the outside world, so they are very repulsive about it, and they also have great resentment towards the people who make the list.

But whether the rich want to or not, the media does need a rich list to stimulate the public's senses, and the public also needs to understand how rich the rich are, so many media are staring at the rich list market.

Whether it is a private rich list or a Forbes rich list, it is just one of the means for them to enhance their brand image and expand their influence, although this operation is called to inspire more people to pursue wealth, learn and understand how to do business, how to make money, they do not consider how many rich lists China needs.

At least for the rich in China, they are more ambivalent about this thing, hoping that they can promote the prosperity of their business through the rich list, but they also do not want to become a key target on the pig killing list.

After all, sometimes, once certain power groups target them, it means that many things have to change.

It is not for nothing that they have broken their families because they have been on the rich list, and there are many of them, and the fate of these people has to be vigilant.

Lin Xiao is naturally very clear about this situation, for example, he has a cash flow of more than 100 billion US dollars, but it is impossible to find his traces on any list, which is very revealing.

And some of the huge greedy people in China, the wealth in their hands is also hundreds of billions of dollars, and they will not show their strength, they will only make a fortune in a muffled voice, and I believe that there is no media that is extremely brainless and dares to get them on the rich list.

In this way, the rich list has basically lost the role of authenticity, and it is just a list that is taken out to entertain the public, which is similar to the ranking of the draft competition, and it is the result of operation.

Even some super-rich people can control the amount of wealth they want to achieve on the list.

It's just that Lin Xiao never thought that the gap between this realistic number and the data on the list would be so big.

Li Chaoren's wealth on the list is only more than 30 billion US dollars, but he can easily come up with 50 billion US dollars to continue his life, this contrast really surprised Lin Xiao.

It seems that the ability of these super-rich people to hide their wealth is indeed very powerful.

"There's no way to do this...... Li Chaoren sighed and said, "The tree is a big move, there was no way before, some book data is indeed easy to be targeted, and it is simply calculated, so there is no way to change the exposed data, but to control its growth rate and let it grow at a rate acceptable to the public." As for the extra wealth, it can only be made to disappear from the public eye through more subtle means. ”

Speaking of which, there are a lot of doorways in this, and it is also dazzling to see, even if it tells you the method, without a strong team of actuarials, it is impossible to accurately calculate how much of this disappeared wealth.

"However, with so much wealth, no matter how it flows, there is always a tax to be paid in the end, and the government always knows it, right?" Concubine Han, who was listening carefully next to her, couldn't help but ask a question.

At the end of the day, no matter how their wealth flows, the public may not know it, and the media may not know the details, but how can government departments, especially tax authorities, not know the truth?

You only need to look at the amount of taxes they pay each year, and you can naturally count how much money they make.

"That's not what I said...... Li Chaoren immediately laughed when he heard it, "Miss Han, you must know that there are actually many ways to avoid taxes in this world, once a rich person becomes extremely rich, does he need to worry about making money every year?" Obviously, he doesn't need to, and what he needs to think about most is how to avoid taxes through reasonable or unreasonable means. Tax avoidance is an important means for the super-rich to maximize their wealth. In that case, how can the tax authorities know how much money the super-rich are making? ”

"I see!" Concubine Han listened to it and was really inspired, but she didn't expect that it would be in this way to achieve a huge increase in wealth and effectively hide her wealth in front of the public.

To put it bluntly, such a practice is definitely illegal.

"Legal? Hehe. After listening to this, Buffett immediately laughed, "In the United States, the law is made by us rich people, why there are so many loopholes in the law, the main reason is to be able to play with the law wantonly when needed!" ”

"You're pretty straightforward." When Lin Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

What is Capitalism? Naturally, capital controls everything, which is why it is called capitalism.

In this case, everything in capitalism is naturally counted only when capital says it, so these super-rich obviously represent the power structure at the top of the entire society.

What they say is naturally the golden rule, the letter of the law.

"Of course, between each other, we still have to save some face." Li Chaoren laughed and said, "I can't make a negative growth in my wealth, in that case, it is estimated that some departments should go crazy." ”

Through overseas investment and collectibles markets, as well as a variety of tactics, it is indeed possible to achieve the purpose of concealing and transferring assets, and once some things disappear from the view of the tax authorities, there will never be a chance to reappear, unless they themselves expose these things.

Now whether it is Warren Buffett or Li Chaoren, they are all using part of the hidden strength in their hands to buy qualifications from Lin Xiao to continue his life.

"You're so optimistic about me, sure I can keep you alive? What gives you such confidence? After confirming that these two could bring him at least hundreds of billions of dollars in new wealth, Lin Xiao asked this question with some curiosity.

If they didn't have a lot of support, they wouldn't have found Lin Xiao so directly, and they were willing to exchange a huge amount of wealth for the continuation of their lives, otherwise, they wouldn't be taking risks, but they would be no different from madmen.

"We do business all over the world, so naturally we have excellent intelligence sources and very accurate analytical agencies." Li Chaoren glanced at Buffett, and then explained to Lin Xiao honestly, "A seemingly ordinary event, if you analyze it carefully, you will find that behind it, there are very complex relationships, and we just want to find the truth of the matter from these complex relationship entanglements." ”

"Oh, I see." After Lin Xiao listened, he thought about it for a while, and then nodded and accepted their explanation.

After all, if there is no accurate intelligence, it is impossible to win a modern war.

It's the same with doing business, otherwise, there would be no saying that shopping malls are like battlefields.

Obviously, although Lin Xiao's series of actions at home and abroad are not clear to ordinary people, in the eyes of these business bigwigs with a sensitive sense of smell, they can still find some clues, and they can naturally guess some very deep-seated reasons.

Because of this, they understood why Lin Xiao already had today's achievements at a young age, so their hopes for continuing their lives were all pinned on Lin Xiao, a mysterious person.

"Anyway, it's quite rare for you to think of such a step." In the end, Lin Xiao nodded, and finally accepted the request of the two of them, "Then, let me give you a simple examination first, see your current physical condition, and when do you need me to do it for you." ”

When Li Chao and Buffett heard this, their faces suddenly showed happy expressions, Lin Xiaoken said this, which means that he has indeed agreed to this matter, and he is also capable of solving their problems.

"Don't be so happy just yet, I'll have to see how you are, and if it's too bad, I'll lose more than I can do it." Lin Xiao saw their reactions and couldn't help but remind them again.
