The publicity effect brought by the team was much more effective than originally expected. It did not even go through the fermentation period, and the effect was almost immediate. These three teams immediately became the wealthy teams that everyone paid attention to.
But on the other hand, it has not achieved the effect of making it known to all women and children. After all, the current Internet media is still very primitive, and traditional media has limitations.
For example, in China, relatively few people have heard of it, and it has had almost no impact. Not to mention, it has completely increased Li Yuan's popularity.
After all, aren't they just a few bad foreign teams? Except for a small number of sports enthusiasts, others will not pay attention at all.
Besides, how many people in China care about an NHL league like ice hockey?
Many people may not know that back then, American Football, American Baseball and NHL, like the NBA, gave them to CCTV for free, and even gave away top events like the Super Bowl.
But it was useless? These sports projects had no fan base in China. Later they disappeared.
On the contrary, the NBA is boasted to be astonishing, such as David Stern's business genius, etc. Do you really think that other professional leagues are fools? Don't they understand such distribution methods?
There is really no way to open up the domestic market at all. No one wants it even if it is given away!
In addition, in this era, even NBA broadcasts are not common. In 1993, the finals began to be broadcast, and now the playoffs have just been broadcast. Therefore, the influence is concentrated on a few super strong teams, especially Jordan's Bulls.
A team like the Denver Nuggets, which can't even make the playoffs, who cares? There is no broadcast at all.
There is also the Premier League. The most popular one in China has always been Serie A, and later the Bundesliga was added. Premier League games have not been broadcast at all, let alone have any influence.
So it's very strange that this time the eyeball effect is blooming everywhere outside the wall, but the inside of the wall doesn't know it at all?
…
Against this background, Li Yuan agreed to an exclusive interview invitation and received a Chinese media personality - Mr. Hurun.
When it comes to Hurun, most people should know the one that later became famous - the Hurun Rich List.
In fact, Hurun himself is also a legend. He is a native of Luxembourg in Europe. He once studied at the Renmin University of China and is proficient in seven languages including Chinese and Japanese. He is also a British certified accountant. He is also a professor at the Business School of Durham University in the United Kingdom and is known as
He is a "godfather" figure in the study of China's private economy. He also has working experience in Arthur Andersen in London and Shanghai.
During this period, out of curiosity and interest, Hurun wanted to interview and count China's first generation of entrepreneurial tycoons. Explain the changes in China and introduce the stories of those tycoons.
At that time, Hurun had no idea how sensational and influential this idea was. He just found it very interesting and did nothing more than create a research material.
Therefore, during this period of time, Hurun began to use his spare time and holidays to read more than 100 newspapers, magazines and announcements and reports of listed companies. Based on his interest and professional expertise, he began to compile the first wealth report in Chinese history that was in line with international standards.
Ranking list.
Of course, since Hurun is currently unknown and there is an old tradition in China of "keeping one's wealth private", he made requests for exclusive interviews, but almost always received no response.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Li Yuan agreed. This made Hurun feel a little flattered.
"Hello, Li. I'm very curious. You are the only Chinese billionaire who agreed to be interviewed. This makes me quite surprised."
"Haha. Mainly because I'm not used to being in front of the camera yet. I'm afraid that my personal privacy will be exposed!"
"Thank you! I feel very honored. I wonder if there is anything you need to correct on the list of your wealth that I just gave you?"
"Well... let's be honest! Your statistics are a bit understated. You basically calculated Parallel Line Technology on Nasdaq and a few listed companies on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. In fact, I still have it in my notebook.
I also own a part of the equity of a parallel line (book), and I am the first major shareholder of this company. In addition, there are Sheffield United Club in the UK and two professional teams in the United States. In addition,
, I still have some unlisted fixed assets and enterprises at home and abroad."
"Wow!" Hurun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Li Yuan would be so frank, "Then how much should it be increased?"
"This way... let's calculate it to 1 billion US dollars! Haha." Li Yuan said with a smile, "I haven't calculated it accurately. It should never be lower than this number. You should be able to understand that I personally also have external financing loans.
Minus that part, it’s almost this value!”
In fact, it is quite inconvenient to search for information now. It is not as easy as a few decades later when public information can be found online. Therefore, even Hurun does not know that Li Yuan has one listed company in this book, and three more.
Overseas teams, not to mention domestic companies that have not yet been listed.
Hurun nodded and expressed understanding. In fact, there is a huge deviation in the statistics in public information. Some people like to hide some private assets. And some wealth is difficult to count, such as a room full of antiques, so what?
How about statistics?
In addition, most people have high debts, but in fact their real net worth is not that much. Therefore, the future richest man in the country will easily die, and the rate of bankruptcy in a short period of time is extremely high. He may even turn into a sewing machine.
One of the members of the training class. (Laughing and crying)
And this kind of deviation is huge. Even Hurun later admitted that the accuracy of his list was only 60% to 70%.
"Li, do those hidden assets really have a valuation of US$1 billion? I once knew your experience. You should have passed those IPOs, right?"
Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "Let's do this! Let's answer most of the questions you prepared together. If you say that I am an elite and a successful person, no one should deny this, right? But suddenly, I have
I am very surprised at how much wealth there is."
"Oh? Can you explain it?"
"Of course. In fact, my personal wealth has skyrocketed. I personally believe that it comes from three opportunities - the first is publishing a best-selling book and receiving a large amount of royalties. It should be several million US dollars, equivalent to tens of millions.
Soft girl coins!"
"Haha. I know that - I just want to defraud some royalties!"
"That's right! The expected manuscript fee at that time was only a few thousand yuan, but I didn't expect it to be tens of millions. Anyway, good luck! I got my first pot of gold."
"Uh-huh."
"The second is to seize the opportunity of listing and financing. Hurun, in fact, you should be very familiar with the current development situation of domestic private enterprises. At that time, there should be more than one or two entrepreneurs with stronger funds, better technology and more ability than me.
Right? But why don’t their assets grow so fast? It’s because they are too honest.”
"Haha? Too honest?"
"That's it. Honesty is not a derogatory term. They are working diligently on business and accumulating original capital minute by minute. However, they have not yet fully opened up their international horizons. In terms of capital operation, they are limited to self-accumulation.
and bank loans, I haven’t found any IPO at all.”
"I understand, what you mean is, did you seize the opportunity to go public and raise funds?"
"That's true. Through continuous financing and refinancing, I currently own more than a dozen listed companies at home and abroad. Slowly, a scale effect has been formed. And here, I can honestly say that in the coming years
, I also have many companies that have launched IPO plans."
"What about the last bit?"
"The last point is, of course, the computer IT trend. My main source of wealth, you should know, comes from Parallel Technology."
The two looked at each other and smiled. Hurun continued to ask: "Li, if there was a self-made list, you should be ranked very high, right?"
"I don't know?" Li Yuan smiled and shook his head, "From the perspective of personal wealth, this money is actually enough, and I don't need to continue to work hard at all. This makes me a little confused, and it seems to have surpassed most people.
.”
"Okay! Your road to success should be regarded as... legendary! Hollywood should be very interested." Hurun joked, "But there is one more thing, you are not old, right?"
"Yes! I am 28 years old. I am still a child."
The two laughed.
"Li, I would like to ask, I believe many people are curious, your success is too fast, even faster than everyone's imagination. So what are your plans for the future? Do you want to improve yourself?"
"Haha." Li Yuan shook his head, "I am indeed relatively successful now, but I will just speak from my heart! Most of my previous wealth was accidental..."
"Ah? Accident?"
"Yes! Maybe you don't know that I also have a computer IT company in China - Parabola Technology. The focus is to develop the domestic Internet market. I also have a company called Tree of Life Agricultural Technology. I will continue to merge and acquire some related industries in the future.
, developing in fields such as agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery. Qinglong Automobile is one of the future development directions in the field of electric vehicles. There is even research in sub-fields such as autonomous driving and automatic navigation. Phoenix New Energy, with solar energy as its core,
Research on the industrialization of other clean energy sources.”
"Ah?" Hurun was stunned for several seconds. He had no idea that Li Yuan had his own industry in so many fields.
Li Yuan smiled slightly: "Many people have not noticed that times have changed! We are in an era of technological revolution, and life in the future will be completely changed. Therefore, there will be great breakthroughs in various high-tech fields."
"this……"
"Do you understand now? The US$1 billion I mentioned is quite conservative. These will lead to future development."
Hurun finally cheered up. During the original interview, he thought it was an ordinary road to wealth. Unexpectedly, Li Yuan actually had such ambitions. Would that completely subvert the current high-tech landscape?
"Li, I have a question here. It's not that there's anything wrong with your research direction. But high technology should be very expensive, right? What should you do if it doesn't succeed?"
"Haha, Hurun, your idea is a bit off. In fact, all of these high-tech projects should have completed basic research, right? The only problem is that the cost is too high and it cannot be industrialized to replace the original traditional products. For example
Say, solar power. The cost of solar power generation far exceeds the existing traditional power generation methods?"
"Uh-huh."
"So here, I mainly focus on industrial research and reduce costs as much as possible. When these high-tech products become cheap enough, it will definitely trigger a series of changes."
“Is it like lowering the cost of generating electricity from solar?”
"Yes! That's it. If the price of solar power generation is low enough, it can replace traditional resources such as oil and coal. And the cheapening of traditional resources can also reduce the price of chemical products and pass on to the prices of various commodities.
.Also, the price of electricity is cheap, and the electric vehicle industry will also develop rapidly."
"Is that so?" Hurun was very interested. "So this is your ideal. Is this the career you want to do?"
"This is it. Changing lives, setting trends."
"So according to you, is this what changes our lives?"
"Of course there are more than these." Li Yuan smiled, "The other ones should include biotechnology, right? There are also superconductivity, nuclear fusion, etc. But those are not my major, so I will leave it to others to study!
There is also aerospace technology, which also requires research by aerospace experts. However, in this field, I have also funded some money, which is the Kuafu Project!"
"So……"
"hehe……"
…
This interview was very pleasant, and the two fully exchanged their views.
The reason why Li Yuan accepted this interview was mainly because of the huge influence of the Hurun List. He wanted to use his personal experience to inspire more people in China to invest in these fields...
Hurun also moved very quickly. He was just a hobby! Anyway, it only took a few months, and only Li Yuan was interviewed.
Through "Forbes" magazine, China's first wealth ranking "China's Top 50 Rich List" was published. There are only 50 people. And the content is quite simple. Most of the wealth values are based on guesswork. There are no accurate figures.
It's the kind of "more than 1 billion" or "50 million to 100 million".
In addition, the qualification to be on the list is "50 million to 100 million" which is enough.
What’s even more interesting is that many people on this list were short-lived and never appeared again.
For example: there is Nian Guangjiu, a melon seed seller, who was once the most famous household worth ten thousand yuan in China. A well-known fashion figure. Zhao Zhangguang, the founder of Zhangguang 101 who treats hair loss, female star Liu Xiaoqing, etc.
And among these rich people, there are very few technology rich people, with 7 of them working in the health care products or beverage industry.
The only two people left on the list are Li Yuan, who ranks first, with more than 50 billion. Sohu's Zhang Chaoyang, who ranks last, has between 50 million and 100 million. He obviously occupies the top and bottom.
However, this extremely simple list immediately caused a sensation all over China!
