Wait a minute......

In 1993, the annual revenue of Wujiang Group was 331.5 billion US dollars, and the net profit was as high as 35 billion US dollars, which is already the profit left after reducing all the super project investments in the year.

In other words, Borderless invested in so many super projects last year, and as a result, it was able to save $35 billion.

Is there any reason for this?

Zhao Ye sighed, the money can't be spent, what are you doing.

No way, the total investment in the Three Gorges Dam is only 50 billion US dollars, and the total investment in the 10 major expressways combined is not more than 20 billion US dollars.

As a result, the Group's current cash reserves are worth more than $130 billion.

Before Zhao Ye was reborn, Apple's cash reserves had increased to more than $200 billion.

However, at that time, the dollar had depreciated, and the value of the cash held by the Borderless Group was definitely far greater than that of Apple.

Moreover, Apple does not have a lot of big projects that the Borderless Group invests in.

Of course, the comparison itself doesn't make much sense.

In 2022, Apple's total revenue will reach $394.3 billion, and in 2023, Apple's market capitalization will exceed $3 trillion for the first time.

By 2022 or 2023, the revenue and market value of Wujiang Group will be at least twice that of Apple.

……

"Boss, the New Year is approaching, the company will hold a grand annual meeting, everyone wants to see the boss perform your talents!" Liu Yinyin found Zhao Ye with a smile and invited him vigorously.

Zhao Ye was stunned, shook his head and said, "I have no talent!" ”

"Boss, don't be too modest, who doesn't know that you are so talented that you can even write the theme song of "The Lion King", so be it, you can sing a song at the annual meeting when the time comes, whether original or not. Well, it was a pleasant decision ......."

After speaking, Liu Yinyin didn't wait for Zhao Ye to refuse, and hurriedly left.

Zhao Ye looked at Liu Yinyin's back as she left quickly, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"I'm talented, and I do know a lot of 'original songs', but who leaked the rumors......"

"Isn't it to hold the company's annual meeting to have fun with the 'people'......"

"Since everyone wants to hear themselves sing, let's sing a song reluctantly! As a boss, you should also be close to the people, and it is not good to be too cold. Moreover, many executives of the company have invited themselves many times, and it is not good to always refuse. ”

Immediately, Zhao Ye began to think about what song was better to sing.

He unconsciously thought of the scenes of the bigwigs he had seen singing in his previous life.

"Why don't you have a song with the same version of Robin Li's version of "Men Should Be Self-Improvement"? Dressed in glittering blonde, he looks like he is powered by solar energy, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he has a thick Auto-tune sound......"

"If you can't do it, learn Zhang Chaoyang's 'affectionate singing' "Dear, That's Not Love"?"

"Or do you want to learn from Wang Jianlin to sing "Nothing"?"

"Why don't you learn from Jack Ma to imitate Ladygaga, and then sing the theme song of "The Lion King" "Can You Feel The Love Tonight"? Damn, spicy eyes~"

Zhao Ye couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

That's what he thought, hehe, hehe, he really didn't dare to learn these bigwigs to sing, especially Ma Yun imitating Ladygaga, maybe the ghost video of his singing would go viral on the Internet.

It's better to be serious.

Zhao Ye was also speechless, in this life, he wrote the song "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", and it happened that Ma Yun imitated Ladygaga to sing this song at Alibaba's annual meeting.

Zhao Ye thought about it, he still sang a song of positive energy, and he could also promote his company's songs.

Soon, Zhao Ye found a very suitable song.

In his previous life, Li Yugang sang "Wanjiang".

Here, Zhao Ye wanted to change the title of the song to "Borderless", and then modify some of the lyrics, such as changing the sentence "My country is boundless, with benevolence" to "The motherland is borderless, with benevolence".

It's just that after changing it, it always feels like it's not as intended.

Moreover, Zhao Ye found the song "Wanjiang" difficult to sing.

He had to choose a song that was easy to sing, and he had to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

Soon, he naturally thought of "Young China Says" sung by Zhang Jie from the song "Wanjiang". This song, with simple lyrics, catchy and peaceful tone, is suitable for most people to sing.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but get more excited the more he thought about it, and wanted to know what kind of sensation he would cause when he sang this song at the company's annual meeting!

"The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country, the wealth of the youth is the wealth of the country, and the strength of the youth is the strength of the country......"

Just at the beginning of the song, the singing of the group of youth choirs was already super shocking.

"Teenager?" Zhao Ye muttered, "I have gone through thousands of sails, and I am still a teenager when I return!" ”

Rustle~

At this time, I saw Zhao Ye take out a pen and paper, and then quickly write a song on the paper.

Zhao Ye had long expected that he would continue to write songs in the future, after all, he still remembered some of the many classic songs in his previous life, and he didn't know if these classic songs would no longer appear because of the butterfly effect in this life, so Zhao Ye asked people to teach himself music, including how to compose lyrics and music and the use of some musical instruments. In his free time, he plays the piano, blows the flute, and practices the guitar to relax his mood and stress.

Zhao Ye's singing skills are also okay, not incomplete, Liu Yinyin, as Zhao Ye's secretary, of course knows this very well, so she is very much looking forward to Zhao Ye's performance at the annual meeting.

The song "Young China Says" is not complicated, and Zhao Ye quickly wrote the song.

……

The next morning, Zhao Ye, Li Aojun and others came to Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, where there are top recording studios and music producers who can help Zhao Ye record the accompaniment of "Young China Says".

Xu Xiangming, the person in charge of Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, is not surprised that Zhao Ye can also write songs, who wrote the theme song of "The Lion King", and all indications indicate that the creator is likely to be his own boss.

"Boss, this is Zhou Wunian, the best music producer in our studio. He will be responsible for helping you do a good job of the accompaniment of "Young China Says"! Xu Xiangming pointed to a middle-aged man with glasses beside him.

"Teacher Zhou Wunian, hello."

Zhao Ye smiled and stretched out his right hand to Zhou Wunian.

Zhou Wunian hurriedly shook hands and said modestly: "Hello boss, you don't need to call me teacher, just call me Zhou Wunian." ”

Zhao Ye nodded, then handed over the song he wrote to Zhou Wunian, and said some opinions on the arrangement.

Zhou Wunian took the score and looked at it carefully.

Half-ringing, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The song is very burning and inspirational, the melody is catchy, and it has the potential to be a big hit.

He couldn't believe that this was actually a song written by a business tycoon.

Talented!

Is this a real genius?!

Zhou Wunian sighed with emotion in his heart.

A week later, the accompaniment to "Chinese Teenagers Say" was already produced.

Zhao Ye went to the recording studio of the American Film Studio to practice singing as soon as he was free during this week, and Zhou Wunian, a top musician who did not lose to the "million tuners", personally guided him, and Zhao Ye's mastery of this song was greatly improved.

……

At this company's annual meeting, because Zhao Ye will perform on stage, it immediately caused heated discussions among employees.

"Ah!! The boss is even going to sing on stage, oh my God, I'm so excited, I'm looking forward to it! The female employee shouted excitedly.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it!" Another female employee looks like a nymphomaniac.

To tell the truth, almost all the unmarried women of Wujiang Group have a trace of fantasy about Zhao Ye, young, handsome, golden, gentle as jade, and talented, he has become the richest man in the world in just ten years, how can there be such a strange man in the world, this is the prince charming of his dreams, this is my intended person......

……

"What??? Zhao Ye wants to sing on stage at the annual meeting of Wujiang Group?!! Damn, is the message confirmed? Sure! Okay, great, hurry up and send someone to contact Wujiang Group, just say that our TV station wants to broadcast the annual meeting of Wujiang Group live! ”

Not long after, the news that Zhao Ye was going to attend the annual meeting of Wujiang Group and sing on stage spread far and wide.

Good guys, major TV stations around the world have expressed their desire to broadcast the annual meeting of Wujiang Group, even including CCTV and ATV.

The headlines on the front pages of major newspapers around the world have been replaced with the news that Zhao Ye is about to sing at the annual meeting of Wujiang Group.

Shocked! The richest and most legendary Chinese genius in history, he is actually going to sing! 》

"Have you ever heard the richest man in the world sing? It's absolutely amazing!! ”

“……”

Zhao Ye's popularity has long reached the point where everyone knows and everyone knows, far surpassing Michael Jackson. Of course, Zhao Ye's die-hard fans are not as many as Michael Jackson.

Zhao Ye is not a star after all, and people don't regard him as an idol.

However, any news related to Zhao Ye will attract people's attention.

Zhao Ye's worth of wealth is not 10 billion or 20 billion, according to the assessment of Wall Street institutions, Zhao Ye's worth is at least trillions of dollars, provided that if all the companies under his name are listed...... Of course, this may have the meaning of deliberately killing, but it is undeniable that Zhao Ye's worth is indeed outrageous......

In 1993, the world's second-richest man was just over $10 billion in wealth.

Zhao Ye is worth about 100 times that of the second richest man.

Zhao Ye has such amazing wealth, so he has naturally become the focus of people all over the world.

At this time, due to the increasing popularity of the annual meeting of the Borderless Group, this directly led to the fact that many celebrities were also very interested in the annual meeting of the Borderless Group and were eager to increase their exposure.

In particular, some Hong Kong celebrities who want to enter the international market are particularly keen to participate in the annual meeting of Wujiang Group.

Hong Kong Golden Harvest Company.

Zou Wenhuai took a puff of his cigar and said excitedly: "There are dozens of TV stations that broadcast the annual meeting of Wujiang Group, including TV stations in mainland China, South Korea, Japan, the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia. ”

Hearing this, He Guanzan nodded and said, "I think I can let Ah Long go to the annual meeting of the Borderless Group to sing a song." He is now making inroads into the Hollywood market, and attending the annual meeting of the Borderless Group is good for him. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded, frowned slightly, and said: "If it is an ordinary company annual meeting, they wish that Ah Long could be on stage, but this is the annual meeting of Wujiang Group......"

He Guanchong said with a smile: "Many companies will invite some celebrities to participate in the annual meeting, and with Aaron's popularity in the mainland, there should be no problem." What we need to consider now is what song Aaron sings. ”

Zou Wenhuai thought about it, nodded and agreed.

On Zhao Ye's side, he never expected that he was just going to sing a song at the annual meeting, and he could cause an uproar.

Well, now we can only make the annual meeting of the Borderless Group a little more grand, and we can't tarnish the reputation of the Borderless Group.
