Chapter 113: On the Ranking List (13)

In 01, New Year’s Day had just passed.

As soon as Liang Hongyu got to work, she ran to Su Mingzhe's office.

"You're crazy!"

Su Mingzhe was lying on the boss chair in the office, looking at Liang Hongyu getting furious in front of him, and he felt so comfortable in his heart.

"I'm not crazy!"

"You're not crazy, will you give up your shares?"

Liang Hongyu knew that Su Mingzhe was rich, but no matter how rich he was, he couldn't just throw money away.

If you really think the money is too much, you can just give it to yourself.

Weilong Technology holds a 50% stake in Hualong Technology.

Give so many shares directly to employees for free.

If this isn't crazy, then what is it?
Seeing Liang Hongyu's anxious and irritable look, Su Mingzhe couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Sister Liang, do you know why you had accomplished nothing before you met me?"

Liang Hongyu resisted the urge to roar and asked, "Why?"

"Because you are a person with very low principles."

Su Mingzhe chuckled. What he said was not a lie, nor was he mocking Liang Hongyu. Instead, it was a true evaluation of her.

Liang Hongyu was stunned, and after reflecting on her past, she really discovered that she had no principles.

However, Liang Hongyu, who had always been strong-willed, refused to be outdone and questioned Su Mingzhe:

"You said I have low principles, but are your principles very high?"

"Very high, very high!"

Su Mingzhe showed an expression that looked like he deserved a beating and successfully drove Liang Hongyu away.

"Forget it. Since you want to give out your shares, I can't stop you. In this case, I choose to withdraw my shares."

Liang Hongyu would never be as crazy as Su Mingzhe.

Isn’t real gold and silver good?
"Thank you, Sister Liang, for your support."

Su Mingzhe sent Liang Hongyu away and shrugged his shoulders. He was very satisfied that he had successfully angered Liang Hongyu.

This was Liang Hongyu's revenge for the trouble she had been going through some time ago.

The mobile phone released by Hualong Technology is already the third generation.

The situation at Huawei is very interesting. Many scientific researchers have been packaged up by Mr. Ren and sent to Hualong Technology.

Su Mingzhe guessed that maybe Mr. Ren could no longer afford to support these people.

However, even if he sent these people here, he couldn't afford to support them.

Mr. Ren provides very good benefits to his employees, especially the salaries of scientific researchers, which are shockingly high.

After much thought, Su Mingzhe decided that the only way to maintain the company's overall cohesion was to distribute all shares to all employees.

This trick is borrowed from Mr. Ren.

Got Hualong Technology.

Su Mingzhe put all his attention on Jinlong Software.

Jinlong Software has released four free software.

They are, Yulongwei free antivirus software, Xiaobailong pinyin typing, Qinglong browser, and Yinglong search.

In addition, there is the Chinese operating system that Su Mingzhe released earlier.

The whole world is impressed by the strength of Golden Dragon Software.

Countless investment banks came one after another, wanting to value Jinlong Software and make investments.

Unfortunately, Su Mingzhe is not short of money.

Literally, it means having enough money.

He has more than 4 billion in his bank account and holds more than 8 billion in stocks.

At the same time, the two most popular mobile phones in China, Xiaolingtong and Hualong, are both his products.

Tianlong Food also makes a fortune, with dividends of several hundred million per year.

Therefore, Su Mingzhe is not short of money and doesn't care about investment banks at all.

The more Su Mingzhe doesn't care, the more investment banks outside want him.

New Year’s Day has just passed and the latest Forbes rankings are out.

The first place is Brother Gates, with more than 40 billion US dollars.

The second place is Mr. Buffett, with more than 30 billion US dollars.

The third place is Su Mingzhe, with 24.7 billion US dollars.

Fourth place: Paul, 23.5 billion US dollars.

Su Mingzhe received a call from Big Beard. While congratulating him, he asked if Li Chaoren made it into the top ten.

After receiving a negative answer, Su Mingzhe disdained this ranking.

Li Chaoren's net worth is definitely qualified to be in the top ten.

Unfortunately, Europe and the United States do not fully recognize the identity of Chinese people and seriously underestimate the worth of wealthy Chinese people.

The reason why Su Mingzhe was included in the list is because Su Mingzhe holds five or six industries in his hands, and each industry seems to be worth a lot of money.

The Forbes ranking valuation team probably wanted to attract attention, so they directly raised Su Mingzhe's net worth to the third place.

This is considered overpraising.

But this idea was only thought by Su Mingzhe himself.

The outside world still highly recognizes the Forbes ranking.

Especially when the Chinese people saw that Su Mingzhe was ranked third among the world's richest people, they were all very excited and looked proud of it.

Some newspapers and weeklies even began listing Su Mingzhe's assets, analyzing bit by bit how the more than 20 billion US dollars was calculated.

First of all, Tianlong Food is Su Mingzhe’s first industry, and he still holds 55% of the shares.

Tianlong Food’s sales this year have reached more than 4 billion yuan, and its profit is around 1 billion yuan.

Even so, Tianlong Food is still expanding rapidly.

There was once a foreign company that wanted to acquire shares of Tianlong Food and offered a price of 4 billion US dollars.

Su Mingzhe is worth 2.2 billion US dollars just from this industry alone.

Next came the extremely popular Xiaolingtong, which achieved annual sales of over 20 billion in the millennium.

Yuhang Mobile has made great efforts in the past two years to sell Xiaolingtong phones all over the country. Except for Shanghai and Yanjing, it can basically be said that it is sold all over the country.

It has such a huge market and such a prosperous industry.

Starcom went public last year and owns 40% of PHS's shares, with a market value of US$7 billion.

Su Mingzhe owns 20% of the shares, which is half of Starcom, which means he is worth another 3.5 billion US dollars.

When talking about Xiaolingtong, we have to mention Hualong Technology.

The technology and market that Hualong Technology possesses are far superior to those of Xiaolingtong.

However, Hualong Technology is not listed and can only rely on its sales.

The outside world estimates that Hualong Technology’s market value exceeds 20 billion US dollars.

Weilong Technology owns 50% of Hualong Technology's shares, and Su Mingzhe owns 85% of Weilong Technology's shares. With this calculation, he has received 8.5 billion US dollars.

Renren and Penguin, these two Internet companies, now have tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of registered users, and the number of online users at peak times reaches tens of millions.

The valuations given by the investment banks were very high. Su Mingzhe's shares in the company were not low. The total value of the two was at least 2 billion US dollars.

The last one is Jinlong Software.

Although all the software released by Jinlong Software is free, the fact that it has a Chinese operating system makes it very valuable.

The valuation given by an external investment bank some time ago was over 10 billion US dollars.

Su Mingzhe owns 90% of Jinlong Software's shares, which is another 9 billion US dollars.

Unfortunately, Su Mingzhe has never met with the investment bank, so this valuation has become a fictitious number.

Even so, when you add the numbers up, the Forbes ranking of Su Mingzhe's net worth of 24.7 billion US dollars is actually an underestimate.

"Brother, do you want to celebrate?"

The bearded man is in high spirits. After his Starcom went public last year, he was in high spirits and became a leading figure in the business circle of Yanjing City.

"Brother Ying, you see, I don't have the time to celebrate," Su Mingzhe pointed at the phone that kept ringing on his desk, feeling miserable but unable to express it.

The Forbes list came out with a ranking, but it made Su Mingzhe suffer.

Various domestic societies and organizations came to us to raise funds.

In the eyes of these people, it seems natural that if the Forbes ranking says that you have more than 20 billion US dollars, you would donate 100 million or 200 million to us.

These people just want Su Mingzhe to pay money without any real words.

Su Mingzhe could reject most of the less famous organizations, but for some of them with deep backgrounds, he had to pay some money to get away with it.

In just one week, he threw away tens of millions.

"You'll get used to it later."

The bearded man laughed in a very unkind way.

After his company went public last year, it suffered a lot and he even considered going abroad to avoid the spotlight.

Now that he saw Su Mingzhe experiencing the same thing as him, he naturally felt much better.

"The question is what to do now."

Su Mingzhe rubbed his brows, smiled bitterly, and left the office with the bearded man, following him to the cocktail party.

The bearded guy came to invite him personally, so Su Mingzhe had to give him face.

The two of them took a car and arrived at a quiet manor.

More than a dozen well-known domestic business tycoons were present.

Su Mingzhe was an old acquaintance of these people, so he quickly clasped his hands together and greeted them.

These people are not idle people. They can take time out of their busy schedule to celebrate for such a trivial matter as the Forbes ranking. This is a favor.

Su Mingzhe chatted with everyone, talking about all sorts of things under the sun.

Among the group, Su Mingzhe is the youngest, only twenty-one years old, but he has the highest net worth.

Fortunately, Su Mingzhe is usually low-key, modest and polite, and everyone has a good impression of him, so they came to celebrate for him.

Of course, this celebration was still organized by the bearded brother.

When everyone was interested, they went their separate ways.

If two big guys want to cooperate, they must let the people working in the company talk about it in person.

The big guys sitting here are all talking about metaphysics and rarely take part in the battle themselves.

If it really is these people's turn to negotiate, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.

When Su Mingzhe returned to the villa, Li Ansheng had already returned.

It was obvious that this girl also knew that her boyfriend had become the third in the world.

I don’t know what’s so good about being ranked third in the world.

"Husband, you are awesome!"

"MUA~"

Li Ansheng was a little excited. She threw herself into her boyfriend's arms and kissed him hard twice.

Su Mingzhe held his girlfriend who was hanging on him and sat on the sofa. The girl had gained a little weight, and he didn't know if it was because the clothes she was wearing were a bit thick.

At this time, New Year's Day had just passed and it was terribly cold in Yanjing.

Even if there is heating in the villa, you still need to wear enough clothes.

Holding his soft girlfriend in his arms, the two of them were intimate for a while, and then the phone rang again.

"Whose phone number?"

Su Mingzhe's cell phone had been turned off long ago, so the ringing tone could only be Li Ansheng's.

"It's my mother."

Li Ansheng glanced at the caller's name, pouted, and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Mom."

"Ansheng, are you done with get out of class?"

Chen Xiaofang was on a business trip at the time, and she made the call after estimating her daughter's get out of class time.

"Well, I don't have classes this afternoon."

Li Ansheng is not used to lying. He just says what he wants to say directly. He feels there is no point in hiding things.

Chen Xiaofang guessed the situation when she heard the tone of her daughter's voice on the phone:
"So are you with Mingzhe now?"

"Ah."

Li Ansheng nodded: "Mom, what are you calling about?"

"Nothing, I just saw Mingzhe was on the Forbes list and wanted to call him to congratulate him, but his phone was turned off."

Chen Xiaofang knew that her daughter was with Su Mingzhe, so she didn't say anything more.

He also reminded Li Ansheng and Su Mingzhe to keep warm, to button up their clothes when going out, and not to expose their collars, as they would easily catch a cold if the wind blew in.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while before Chen Xiaofang hung up the phone.

Li Ansheng put down the phone and wanted to continue talking to her boyfriend.

Unexpectedly, the phone that I just hung up rang again.

This time, it was Su Mingzhe’s biological mother Zhao Meilan who called.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm with Mingzhe. I gave him the phone number."

Su Mingzhe had no choice but to take the call and started chatting with Zhao Meilan on the phone.

At this time, Zhao Meilan and Su Daqiang were traveling in San Francisco across the Atlantic Ocean.

The time there was about one in the morning.

The old couple called me so late, I think they called me at the right time.

Zhao Meilan talked to Su Mingzhe for a while and asked him whether the Forbes ranking was true.

Su Mingzhe responded and explained what "valuation" means.

It was difficult to get rid of Zhao Meilan.

Su Daqiang took the phone again and asked the same question Zhao Meilan had asked.

Su Mingzhe collapsed directly.

Li Ansheng looked at her boyfriend's face with no desire to live and found it quite funny, so she kissed him twice.
