Chapter 366, attention all over the world(1/2)
The release of this issue of "Forbes" magazine has undoubtedly become an unprecedented news hot spot, because it has unprecedentedly expanded the ranking of billionaires to the world, at least the "global" within the scope of the magazine's information.
When the news spread to Neon China, it naturally aroused a sense of pride and enthusiasm.
Not only because the Neon Man took over the top five in this rich list, but also because the cover is Tao Zhiming.
What's more, his appearance in kendo uniform and holding a long sword is full of neon elements. He has good looks and a domineering look.
"This is where our big neon should be now." The guest on the TV station looked very excited, "So, if the financial market had been opened earlier, figures like President Tsutsumi would have been known to the world long ago.
.”
"But everyone who ranks high in neon is mainly concentrated in real estate, which is quite worrying..."
"Actually, this is the result of the restriction on the shareholding ratio of the consortium. The strength of our big neon is still concentrated in the core clubs under the consortium. Although Matsushita-san is also classified as 'more than 2 billion yuan',
The core figures of the major financial groups are not mentioned in this list at all."
"Indeed, if there was a statistical method for such-and-such families like other countries, I'm afraid our Neon would occupy even more positions..."
"But it's really surprising that President Tao was chosen as the cover character. Sure enough, it's because he has some special meaning, right? 'Neon has returned to the center of the world stage, the power of the new generation, and neon dominance.
The world's challenge', this way."
"That's too scary to say!"
There are many people discussing excitedly from this macro perspective, but there are also many people who are paying attention to the upstart Tao Zhiming himself.
Morijiro, who had been killed, was even mentioned by some TV stations. Although the source of this photo was only mentioned, it can be called a corpse.
Kinoshita Hidefeng and others who are already very familiar with Tao Zhiming are already aware of his net worth, so it is not surprising that he is included on this list.
Haruko Ueda and Shana Ueda were a little confused watching the news at home, it was really unexpected.
"Da Lang is in Idali, does he know about this?"
"...You should know, right?" Ueda Shana was also unsure, "Mom, will this cause a lot of trouble?"
Ueda Haruko smiled: "It should be fine. He is a man who has gone through a lot of storms. Now this kind of thing is just that his existence is known to more people. Besides, the guards your father helped him find are also the Akayan family
Didn’t that child go with him?"
Shana Ueda was a little melancholy: "There will be a lot of trouble. One billion yuan, that's more than one hundred billion yen. The last time he appeared in the public eye with such a sensation, he only invested 2 billion yen in Sun Jun."
At that time, I received many love letters in school..."
Haruko Ueda touched her head: "Don't let these things affect your mood. He can achieve what he does now and be recognized by so many people because he has a sense of proportion in how he handles things."
Shana Ueda lowered his head and touched his belly that had not yet swollen. After being silent for a long time, he smiled slightly: "Yes."
After a while, the phone rang at home. Haruko Ueda went over to answer it, and then she called Sina Ueda over in surprise, and said with a smile: "It's Da Lang."
Seeing that he called again, Ueda Shana completely put aside her worries and asked: "Hey, have you arrived in Idali yet?"
"Yes, it's already evening in Tokyo, right? I just saw the RIVA shipyard, finished lunch, and took a rest. Is Father home?"
"No, Dad went to have dinner with the people from Neon Airlines." Shana Ueda asked, "Do you know about the Forbes magazine?"
"...Has the discussion over at Neon really started? How is the situation now?"
Sina Ueda asked with a smile: "Are you worried? Your photo appeared on the billboard before, and you didn't care at all."
"I arranged that in advance! But this time, I didn't know anything and was suddenly exposed." Tao Zhiming sighed, "If someone wants to do an interview or something, just refuse it and wait for my reply.
Let’s talk about it in Tokyo.”
"Well, then you also... pay attention to your safety."
"When Father comes back, please help me pay attention to some negative opinions caused by this incident."
"I remember."
After Sina Ueda hung up the phone, he began to worry again: "Dalang said that this matter may trigger some unfavorable views towards him."
"Don't worry about this matter!" Haruko Ueda held her waist and walked slowly towards the courtyard, "Leave these matters to him and your father."
The news naturally spread to Xiang Island.
At this time, it was dinner time in Xiangdao. Zhao Yuanxi was preparing for Tao Zhiming's arrival tomorrow. Who knew that such an incident would suddenly occur. Therefore, although he was having dinner with Huo Yingdong's son Huo Ting, he had to eat one by one
Answer the phone.
Tomorrow night, the Dow Group has booked the revolving restaurant of the Furama Hotel. And tomorrow is a very special day. It is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion.
Therefore, the Dow Group's dinner was chosen at this time. Originally, many people shied away from having arrangements and said they couldn't go.
But as soon as this list was released and the news reached Xiang Island, the nature of it immediately changed.
Because in the eyes of Hong Kong people, the top wealthy shipping kings, gambling kings, and jewelery kings are only in the same category as Tao Zhiming on this list: more than 1 billion yuan and less than 2 billion yuan.
Doesn’t this mean that Tao Zhiming of the Dow Group is actually on an equal footing with Hong Kong’s top richest men?
The most outrageous thing is that unlike those big guys who are already called Daobo, he is only 24 years old and has endless potential!
So Zhao Yuanxi's phone kept ringing, and seeing more and more people attending the banquet, Li Jiacheng's son Li Ju even said that his father failed to meet Tao Zhiming last time and wanted to get to know him well this time, so he suggested that he
This dinner was a Mid-Autumn Festival reunion banquet. He helped with the preparations.
Zhao Yuanxi's scalp was numb: "In that case, there are too many people, right?"
"I have already called Furama's He Sheng. The thought of celebrities gathering together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival will be a good story. Don't worry, I will handle it together with Uncle Bob's son-in-law Wu Sheng. It will be absolutely decent and meaningful.
.We will hold a charity auction when the time comes. Tao Sheng, as one of our hard-working wanderers, has achieved such an achievement, so the people of Xiang Island must share this honor. Tao Sheng has completely opened up his reputation in Xiang Island, brother, you are also more famous here.
Good job, what do you think?"
"...I still have to ask the boss. Brother Li, what do you think? I'll take it first and call you back later."
Zhao Yuanxi hung up the mobile phone, quickly called Tao Zhiming, and said to Huo Ting: "Brother Huo, I'm sorry, something happened suddenly. If I don't call this number quickly to find out, I'll have to wait for a while."
Answer the phone."
Huo Ting smiled and nodded, feeling filled with emotion.
It is shocking. Although he bought the Dong family's house in Hong Kong last year and invested a sum of money in Orient Overseas, who knew that a year later he would suddenly reach the same level of wealth as many big families in Hong Kong?
The reason why the Li family and the Bao family suddenly became so enthusiastic is of course due to the impact of this news. At least from last year, Tao Zhiming left the impression on the big families in Xiangdao that they were very heroic and willing to invest and cooperate.
The Dong family benefits first, and the cooperation between the Huo family and the Dow Group is getting closer and closer. They probably want to take this opportunity to see if they can gain anything.
This is not only the wealth he already has, but also the speed at which he makes money.
It’s simply appalling. Who can make this level of money in less than two years? Isn’t this money printing?
Tao Zhiming, who was far away on the shores of Lake Idalicomo, took the call from Zhao Yuanxi and approved the proposal of Li Jiacheng's son Li Ju. Then he said to Baron Berg: "Although I only listed my name on the list, I don't care about the wealth figures.
I am not responsible for the authenticity of the photos and it does not constitute an invasion of privacy. However, my photos were used without my consent. Can you contact them? Help me find them!”
Baron Berg didn't expect him to be so serious, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Tao, Forbes will probably be very happy if the newly wealthy people hold them accountable for their unauthorized use of photos."
"You can continue to hype, right? It's okay. They just have to be mentally prepared. I'll spend 1.8 million in legal fees to make them vent their anger." What Tao Zhiming was actually thinking was that since he was exposed like this, let those
It would be nice for the big boss in the United States to get to know him more deeply. He is not a country bumpkin. Tao Zhiming understands the rules of the game that must be abided by in the United States.
Barron Berg sighed and felt that he was simply his god of wealth.
After all, he is young and energetic. Others will only feel happy to be on the cover of Forbes. He would rather spend money to litigate with others.
This morning and noon, Tao Zhiming did not talk to him about what Tao Yaren said because Teresa was present.
Only then did he say: "You have to rush to Xiang Island tomorrow. You have really arranged your schedule too tightly. Miss Teresa, there is still a little time before the dinner you arranged. Let Bravo take a rest before setting off.
Go over there."
Tao Zhiming nodded: "I need to take a rest."
After that, he pointed to RIVA's headquarters office building built like a yacht bridge on Lake Como and said: "It is understandable that the small yacht factory is placed here. After all, it can be transported easily. But such a beautiful lakeside
, this should be a villa."
Hector said with a smile: "You will be his master from now on, and you can use this place as you wish."
After saying that, he looked at Teresa a little suspiciously, because even though she heard that Tao Zhiming was sure to acquire RIVA, her expression didn't change at all.
In fact, now that I think about it, it makes sense. Azimut only acquired Betty the year before last, so there is no reason to sell it now.
So while walking inside, he asked Tao Zhiming in a low voice: "This Idali girl cares about you very much. Do you want to buy RIVA and Betty at the same time?"
In his understanding, the woman was so interested in it because she hoped that Betty, which had been swallowed up by Azimut, could become an independent brand again, and that the Betty family could be responsible for management and operation again.
Tao Zhiming shook his head and said: "I plan to build a superyacht over 100 meters long. The current Azimu Bedi family will definitely not be able to handle it. After RIVA acquires it, it will be able to participate in part of the construction."
"Super yacht?" Hector asked in shock, "How much does it cost?"
"The budget is within 200 million yuan."
Tao Zhiming spoke in an understatement, but Héctor looked at him speechlessly. After a long time, he asked: "Why didn't we RIVA do the manufacturing in the first place?"
"Can it be built? The shipyard is still on the inland lake. How will it be transported out after it is built?" Tao Zhiming glanced at him, "You have no intention of running a yacht, wouldn't it be a good idea to sell it? Seeing as you are a new good friend and
For Masato-kun's sake, I agreed to the price of 50 million yuan."
"...But there is always a feeling of missing out on a big deal." Although Hector understood this truth, he still said with regret, "200 million yuan...Bravo, can you really make money in the financial market? It turns out that it's 200 million yuan...
The previous private jets and the acquisition of RIVA were nothing, but the 200 million-meter super yacht, this is really..."
