In November at the end of '87, Kaede Shirakawa was running around for the future financing of SIC.

One day at the end of the month, he also took time to attend the launch ceremony of Keyence.

KEYENCE is the lead motor that has been working with Shirakawa Electric for the laser head of the CD machine.

Last year, it changed its name to Keyence, and this year it was officially listed on the Orient Stock Exchange.

Shirakawa Electric, which has in-depth cooperation experience at the beginning of its development, has also become one of the financing shareholders of Keyence.

However, the real investor is the investment company under Shirakawa Holdings, after negotiations with Mitsubishi and several other parties.

In the end, Shirakawa Holdings acquired a 10.7% stake in Keyence for 12 billion yen, but this figure has been diluted to about 8% after the listing.

However, thanks to the neon expansion of the stock market, Keyence's stock soared 34.7% on its first day of listing.

Tsk, casually, I made billions of yen on the first day, and the money in finance is really fast.

Not to mention that Beidu Bank is also one of Keyence's underwriters, and it makes a lot of money.

It's even cash, not the data on the shares held by Shirakawa Holdings.

Just like the kind of saying that neon people agree with at this time, the neon stock market will never fall.

Even the "Black Monday" of the global stock market in July could not affect the neon stock market in the slightest.

Doesn't this confirm the saying that "the neon stock market will never fall"?

So it doesn't matter what kind of company you are, as long as you go public, the stock will rise.

Those fanatical shareholders guard the two major trading sectors of the Orient Stock Exchange every day.

As long as there are new shares, then everyone will rush to it. Within half a day, it is guaranteed that the stock price will be raised to the point where the president of the newly listed company will not be able to keep his mouth shut.

Such a market is sick and abnormal, but it is really exciting.

And even if the stock price is inflated, it doesn't matter, as long as there are people taking orders in the stock market and there are transactions going on, then someone must be able to make money.

So while Neon's stock market has skyrocketed, it's also extremely active.

A large part of the reason for this phenomenon is because the stock market has the property market at the bottom.

Everyone firmly believes that the price of neon land will never fall.

Because of the narrow territory, neon has little land for development. As the population grows, there will be less and less land available.

As a result of this perception, land prices in Tokyo have almost doubled by 94.7% compared to last year.

Just near Ginza in Chuo Ward, the most expensive land in the history of neon has been born, more than 100 million yen per tsubo.

A little more than three square meters, selling for more than 100 million yen, Shirakawa Kaede smacked his tongue.

Housing prices, land prices and the economy of the whole country are closely related, and it is obvious that the land price of neon has been disconnected from people's consumption and income at this time.

However, because there are too many people copying land and too many people speculating in stocks, there is no problem with collective participation.

Also because the property market and stock market both rose, although Shirakawa Electric's export trade was affected, the market value went straight to 7 trillion yen.

However, the market value has risen a lot, but the ranking has dropped, and the current market value ranking of Shirakawa Electric is about to fall back to the tenth place.

Magically, the market value has risen significantly, but the ranking is falling, and instead the market value of financial institutions is expanding rapidly.

For example, Nomura Securities, a leader in the financial sector, has the largest operating profit this year.

In November, reporters from major media made relevant reports, and stimulated by this news, the market value of Nomura Securities exceeded 15 trillion yen in one fell swoop.

With its ultra-high market capitalization, Nomura Securities is now ranked second in the Neon Top 100 after Toyota.

It can be seen that the financial industry is stimulated by the stock market, and how outrageous the markup in market value is.

However, when it comes to market capitalization, Shirakawa Kaede has really shown his face in front of people all over the world this year.

That's right, it's the whole world, not just neon.

How did you show your face? Then take a look at this year's Forbes magazine, the new list of the world's richest people.

The Forbes list of the world's richest people was first launched in '87, and the cover character of this issue of the magazine was Kaede Shirakawa.

To be honest, when someone else took a magazine and told him that he had become the richest man on the planet, Shirakawa Kaede himself was confused.

Because Forbes didn't get angry with him before that, but it can't be said that there is none.

The editors of Forbes contacted him a long time ago, and they talked to Shirakawa Kaede about their intentions.

Forbes is preparing to make a list of the world's richest people for the first time this year, judging by personal wealth.

The editors of Forbes explained that the richest people on the list can not only show their worth, but also bring various invisible benefits to future business activities.

To put it bluntly, Forbes promotes Shirakawa Kaede, and the latter also needs to cooperate with Forbes to come up with all kinds of asset proofs.

For Forbes, who came to the door, Shirakawa Kaede refused without even thinking about it.

He doesn't want to be famous, and he doesn't want to show off his wealth, isn't it good to make a fortune in a muffled voice?

And according to the tradition of neon people, low-key is the mainstream, how can there be chaebols like nouveau riche everywhere to promote their wealth.

However, although Forbes rejected it, it does not mean that Forbes has given up on such an idea.

Forbes' team of journalists began tracking the activities of the world's richest people a year ago.

For example, Shirakawa Kaede attended some public welfare parties, and the things he took pictures of were hundreds of millions of yen, and the people of Forbes saw these scenes.

There is also the Dassault private jet he bought before, as well as a custom-built luxury yacht.

Although he himself did not publicize it, he could not hide it from the eyes of these journalists.

Once they've identified who qualifies for the Forbes rich list, they'll send out interviews with those involved, along with the approximate numbers from their survey.

Shirakawa Kaede was not interested in the so-called rich list, so he probably glanced at the data and laughed it off.

But it is clear that Forbes did not give up on his plans, although Shirakawa Kaede refused, but they still based on their own investigation and previous media reports.

He began to make a rough estimate of the businesses, land, houses, and luxury goods under the name of Shirakawa Kaede.

However, because the land price of neon is too outrageous at this time, this part of Forbes is temporarily calculated based on the land price of the United States as a reference.

Shirakawa Kaede's most famous assets are the title of "4.2 billion couple" and the listed company Shirakawa Electric.

However, because of the issuance of several rounds of new shares by Shirakawa Electric, Shirakawa Holdings' shareholding has been reduced to about 30%, and the other parts are under the trumpet.

Although the absolute controller behind Shirakawa Holdings is Shirakawa Kaede, it is unknown whether there is any other investor Forbes.

How many of them are attributed to Shirakawa Kaede's personal name, it is another fog.

In the end, according to his rough calculations, Forbes believes that the value of Shirakawa Electric's shares, Shirakawa Kaede's personal holdings is roughly about $14 billion.

The market capitalization of SIC is converted to about $2 billion, which is based on one-third of Intel's market capitalization.

There is no doubt that this underestimates the value of SIC, because in 87, Intel's market value has plummeted once.

But Forbes doesn't need to be responsible for the data anyway, so everything needs to be calculated.

As for well-known companies such as Beidu Bank and HAL, plus a number of other lesser-known subsidiaries, the overall valuation is about $5 billion.

Combined with the world-famous $4.2 billion, Shirakawa Kaede's personal wealth is roughly $25.2 billion.

Although Kaede Shirakawa scoffed at this set of figures, none of Forbes' calculations were accurate.

But there is no doubt that in '87, this number still crushed the vast majority of the world's richest people.

In the eyes of Forbes, $25.2 billion can already rank first in the world without any suspense.

So as soon as this issue of the magazine was released, it caused an uproar around the world.

The richest man in the world is under 30 years old, and he still comes from Neon.

What is even more difficult to convince is that the second place on the rich list is still Yoshiaki Tsutsumi from the Neon Seibu Group.

His personal assets come mainly from land, and Forbes estimates him at $20 billion.

The number one and second richest people are all neon people, which really makes people doubt the accuracy of the Forbes data.

In addition, this is the first time that the rich list has been held, and its authority has yet to be verified.

So most people are skeptical about this set of numbers.

Especially the neon domestic media, they believe that if it is really calculated according to the land price of neon, there is no doubt that the first rich man should be Yoshiaki Di.

Because Seibu owns nearly one-sixth of the total area of neon developable land at the moment, at current prices, Tsutsumi should be worth about $150 billion.

Theoretically, these lands are really worth that much money.

After all, neon land is not priceless, on the contrary, there are more people involved in the transaction.

If Yoshiaki Tsutsumi finds enough takers, then he may indeed be worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

More than 100 billion dollars in 87 years, this figure is a bit beyond Forbes' imagination.

So in the end, when calculating the neon land price, Forbes did not calculate according to the neon land price that can be called crazy at the moment.

Because it's so ridiculous that even Forbes, who likes to guess Keele's calculations, thinks it's ridiculous.

150 billion US dollars, who believes it.

This figure is higher than the net worth of many countries, which is a veritable rich.

So in order not to make his first rich list a joke, Forbes can only lower the land price of neon to the same level as that of the United States.

Therefore, the current data was obtained, and Shirakawa Kaede, which is mainly industrial, naturally came to the top and won the first place with 25 billion US dollars.

However, although there are many people who question the Forbes rich list, the outside world also believes that Shirakawa Kaede's assets are not $25 billion.

But 18 billion is still available, after all, the neon property market and stock market are too watery, and the market value of Shirakawa Electric is also invisibly overestimated.

Therefore, $18 billion is an acceptable figure, at least Shirakawa Kaede's assets are not supported by land.

In addition, although the value has been lowered a lot, many people have become more and more impressed by Bai Chuanfeng's five-body body.

The $18 billion that everyone recognizes is much more convincing than the $25 billion boasted by Forbes.

Many people have no concept of such wealth, and their impression of it is only in numbers.

After all, I can't earn $100 million in a few lifetimes, and 18 billion is indeed beyond the scope of understanding.

Because of the birth of Forbes magazine, Shirakawa Kaede also attracted many reporters in Neon.

There was no way, during this time, Shirakawa Kaede even quietly hid in Akita's hometown.

Shirakawa Kaede really wants to say don't listen to Forbes's nonsense, those chaebols have more wealth than him, and they are the real super-rich.

However, the wealth of the chaebol is not concentrated in a certain person, and Shirakawa Kaede, as the founder of Shirakawa Holdings, is still too prominent.

But soon at the end of the year, the attention of the outside world shifted to another matter, and Shirakawa Kaede had to return to Tokyo and go to the Imperial Palace.
