"Mr. Guo, this is the ranking of the world's richest people just published last week."
Fan Luxian took out a magazine from his bag, handed it to Wang Lidong, and then explained: "Ninety-five percent of the richest people on this list are shareholders of listed companies.
Our magazine counts the wealth of rich people, mainly based on company equity, public cash and real estate, etc.
All come from public information, which is also the rule of the game in this industry.
Otherwise, Forbes magazine would have gone bankrupt long ago, and my boss would have gone to heaven long ago."
Wang Lidong flipped through the magazine casually, and the top ten names were all familiar faces.
"What about those who don't have shares in listed companies? Just like the Koch Brothers, who are ranked ninth and tenth on this latest list. I remember their company is not listed, right?"
Fan Luxian said:
"In the case of the Koch brothers and Mr. Guo, after we check the public information, we will come to investigate, just like I did when I visited your company today.
If the rich people agree to be on the list, they will definitely not mind providing a copy of the company's financial report.
Once you know the annual profit, you can find the price-to-earnings ratio of a similar company in the industry to get the current size of the company, and then you can calculate the corresponding value."
"What if you don't want to provide it?"
Fan Luxian shrugged: "I know that there is a saying in the world that 'wealth is not revealed', and many rich people have many inconveniences in explaining the source of their wealth.
In fact, rich people all over the world are the same.
Our magazine follows the principle of voluntariness, never imposes, and respects the other party's choice.
After all, this is just a business."
Wang Lidong still agrees with Forbes' approach.
Unlike Hurun, this guy calculates the equity of unlisted companies entirely based on the data it collects, and does not exchange data or fact-check with the parties involved.
Then before publishing, the other party will be notified that your list will be included in the new issue.
I heard that some rich people don’t want to be known to the whole world, so they can only...
Of course, there are also people who are stubborn, and then they are widely publicized.
If this man didn't have a layer of sheep skin on his body, he would have disappeared long ago.
Wang Lidong said to the secretary beside him:
"Xiaofang, give Chief Editor Fan a copy of the company's financial reports for the first three quarters."
Xiaofang nodded, and after a while she took a financial report for tax filing to the organization and entered the conference room.
After Fan Luxian took it, he read it carefully. Although he was somewhat prepared, he was still a little dazzled by the gorgeous data in the revenue column.
When I saw that the net profit was only 1.731 billion, I still secretly complained.
This is really different from what they estimated.
Their magazine estimates that the total revenue of Golden Arches is between 100 million and 5.763 billion, with a net profit of approximately 5.763 billion.
Unexpectedly, Guoji, a mainland company, is as proficient in tax avoidance as other large companies around the world.
Most of the foreign branches of multinational companies such as Kekekele and Kedeji will maintain a net profit loss all year round, so that they don't have to pay a dime of tax.
Wang Lidong said:
"Chief Editor Fan, besides financial reports, what other information do you need here?"

Fan Luxian smiled and said:
"As long as you have a financial report. Don't worry, Mr. Guo, our magazine will calculate your worth based on this report."
As he spoke, he took out a folder from the backpack he was carrying and handed it to Wang Lidong.
"Mr. Guo, I just did some calculations. If there are no surprises, you should be ranked 10th in the Chinese rankings published next week."
Looking at the top three, the first one is Li Zhaoji of the flat knitting machine, the second one is the Guo brothers of Scarlet Base, and the third one is the famous ‘Father Master Ye Li Superman’.
"Can."
Wang Lidong thinks this ranking is pretty good, neither high nor low. In fact, if it weren't for a system mission, he wouldn't want anyone to know about it. Whether now or in a few decades, as long as he boarded Baozhuo, he wouldn't have gone in.
If you go bankrupt, you can only stay outside.
Seeing that the purpose of their trip was achieved, the two of them prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Wang Lidong still had something to do, so he would let the two of them run away, so he led them to visit the company.
On the way, he asked the director of the public relations department to divert Fan Luxian's deputy and walked to the company's small garden. Wang Lidong motioned to Fan Luxian to sit down in the small pavilion:
"Editor-in-Chief Fan, do you know what the population of our Sihai Country is?"
"Of course I know this. Last year it reached 1.2 billion. To be honest, when I first learned that there were so many people in your country, I was really shocked. The entire Europa, all countries combined, is only 780 million.
people."
"Does Editor-in-Chief Fan know how many copies of the magazine with the largest circulation in our country sold last year?"
Fan Luxian shook his head and said:
"How much did you sell?"
Wang Lidong raised a finger and said: "More than 10 million copies."
"This is really surprising data. If I hadn't said it from Mr. Guo, I would have suspected that this data was fake." Fan Luxian asked with interest, "What is the name of this magazine?"
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving and before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download it here..]
"Reading."
Wang Lidong remembered that when he was a student in his previous life, he would eagerly buy a copy every time it was released.
At that time, we didn’t know what chicken soup was, and it was also poisonous.
Looking at the articles promoting ‘truth, goodness and beauty’, I was so pumped that I couldn’t help but feel high.
But most of them are praising the West. What about Er Dezi's sewer, drinking water from the toilet when she was a child, America's nationwide power outage to protect the sparrows, etc.
"After I say goodbye, I will go to the newsstand to buy a copy and read it."
"Editor-in-Chief Fan, according to statistics from relevant departments, in 1992, more than 10 million civil servants went to sea in our country.
There is a popular saying on the street: ‘One billion people, nine hundred million businesses’.
Today's world is an era of pursuing money and wealth.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If at this time, a magazine with exclusive rankings of the richest people from all over the world appears on the market, what do you think of the sales?"
Fan Luxian's heart skipped a beat: "Mr. Guo, what do you mean when you tell me this..."
Wang Lidong said: "Does Chief Editor Fan want to work for others for the rest of his life?"
Fan Luxian showed a helpless expression and said:

"Who doesn't want to be the boss? But Mr. Guo, don't look at it as just a magazine. It requires a lot of initial investment. Given the current situation in the world, if you want to make the data on the rich list more objective and fair, you have to spend a lot of time and manpower."
As the editor-in-chief of Asia, it’s not like he has never made this plan, but it’s a pity that their branch is not taken seriously at the headquarters. There are only 8 employees in the entire branch, otherwise it would not be necessary for him, the editor-in-chief, to personally verify the situation of a rich man.
Running errands.
Wang Lidong smiled and said:
"I will invest 3 million, and Editor-in-Chief Fan, you will be responsible for the operation and management of the new magazine.
I hold 60% of the company's shares, and the remaining 40%. Half of the shares are regarded as your management and technology shares, and the remaining 20% serves as the management's equity incentive fund."
"Oh, Mr. Guo, your proposal is so unexpected..." Fan Luxian was a little confused, but he soon came to his senses, thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Guo, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
With such a good condition, you would be a fool not to agree.
He and Wang Lidong didn't know each other before, so they had no grudges and wouldn't dig holes for themselves to jump into when they were full.
What's more, he is a member of the Queen's country and has privileges all over the world.
You can own a magazine without spending a penny. Although you are only a small shareholder, you are also the boss.
Moreover, it is impossible for a rich man like Wang Lidong to personally manage a company with only a few million assets.
It was like pie in the sky. The more Fan Luxian thought about it, the more excited he became.
Wang Lidong smiled and held the extended hand: "Editor-in-Chief Fan, it's a pleasure to work with you."
