Song Caiwei ran into the office and congratulated her, which made Zhang Yida confused and said, "Congratulations for what?"
"Forbes ranking! You are ranked 75th with a net worth of 16.26 billion yuan.
Just take a look."
Song Caiwei handed the phone to Zhang Yida. Zhang Yida took it and took a look, and it was true.
Zhang Yida looked at the industry classification on the list. He classified it as Internet finance, and the source of wealth company was Yimin Internet Finance.
You can't hide things. As soon as Yimin.com went public, all information had to be disclosed to the public, so Zhang Yida's net worth was also exposed.
For example, Zhang Yida's shareholdings in several other unlisted companies are all operated by Cayman companies, and these Fortune magazines cannot count them.
If the statistics are not available, these lists will not make random guesses and simply do not count this part of the assets.
Zhang Yida looked again and saw that behind him were Shen Guojun of Yintai Group and Liu Zhongtian of Zhongwang Group; in front of him were Shen Dongqing of Aofei Animation and Mr. and Mrs. Pan of SOHO China.
The difference is not big, just a few hundred million yuan.
Zhang Yida also saw Huang Xin, ranked 83rd with a net worth of 15.24 billion.
The richest man Wang topped the list with a net worth of 190.5 billion yuan, Jack Ma ranked second with a net worth of 138.4 billion yuan, Bonima ranked third with a net worth of 111.7 billion yuan, and Lei Jun ranked fourth with a net worth of 83.8 billion yuan.
Zhang Yida quietly picked up the A4 paper on the table and calculated his net worth on the paper.
If you include the shareholdings of unlisted companies, he would probably rank fourth, behind the richest man Wang and Big Ma, pushing Lei Jun to fifth place.
Ruixiang is valued at US$27.5 billion, holds 38.18% of the shares, and is worth approximately US$10.5 billion.
Yimin Wangjin has a market value of US$5.5 billion, holds 47.51% of the shares, and is worth approximately US$2.61 billion.
Huimin Bicycle is valued at US$4 billion, holds 35.74% of the shares, and is worth approximately US$1.43 billion.
Pinduoduo is valued at US$1 billion, holds 77.76% of the shares, and is worth approximately US$780 million.
Ruimin Financial Management is valued at US$1 billion and holds 64.8% of the shares, which is approximately US$650 million.
Pate.com is valued at RMB 3 billion and holds 52.488% of the shares, which is approximately US$250 million.
Huinongdai’s net assets are over US$200 million. Zhang Yida’s direct shareholding plus indirect shareholding totals 30.34%, with a minimum value of US$60 million.
DouShi, Yimindai, Yimin Wealth, and Huayi Capital have never raised funds or have not raised funds recently, so they are not easy to value.
The total shareholding value of the seven companies that have raised funds or been listed is US$16.28 billion, which is equivalent to RMB 101.4 billion based on the recent exchange rate of RMB 6.228 to the US dollar.
In addition, Zhang Yida also borrowed US$500 million, which was not included in personal consumption. He invested US$250 million in Blue Hole, US$100 million in OYO, and US$100 million in DouShi. The remaining US$50 million has not been released to the account. use.
This part of the investment assets has not yet appreciated in value, and can basically offset each other against the debt.
Zhang Yida quietly put the A4 paper filled with his asset information into the shredder, watched it break into pieces bit by bit, and finally showed a satisfied smile.
You are already a billionaire, so you should keep a low profile.
However, Zhang Yida knew that his so-called hundreds of billions of assets were in a big bubble. 84% of them were unlisted assets with very low liquidity. They were not easy to sell or get mortgages. They were paper wealth.
Even if it is listed, it will not be easy to sell. The major shareholders want to cash out in large sums, and the stock price will collapse.
Song Caiwei seemed to have noticed something. She first watched Zhang Yida write and draw seriously on the table. After finishing writing, he looked at the paper and giggled for a long time.
Then I put the paper into the shredder, and then I left with peace of mind after watching the paper being shredded.
Song Caiwei guessed: Mr. Zhang must be calculating his net worth. She wanted to go over and have a look, but she didn't dare.
If the paper shredder hadn't shredded the paper too much, she would have wanted to piece it together.
The Forbes list only included Zhang Yida’s holdings in Yimin Internet Finance, and Ruixiang, a major shareholder, was not included.
Song Caiwei guessed: Mr. Zhang holds at least 10% of the shares in Ruixiang, and is worth at least another US$2.75 billion.
Forbes underestimated at least half of his net worth.
After the 2015 Forbes list was announced, Zhang Yida kept a low profile and declined interviews from all media.
But he still became famous again, and the Internet was discussing this "20-year-old Internet tycoon" who only emerged this year.
In response to this hot news, even Yimin Wangjin's stock price rebounded a bit, returning to a market value of over US$6 billion.
"Yida! Do you have time recently? The school wants to arrange for you to come back to school to give a speech."
The caller was from the leader of Beijing University, and I could feel his happiness through the phone.
Several of their school leaders had taken a fancy to Zhang Yida early on. He wanted to start a business, but he didn't go to class. He lacked an office and investors. They all tolerated him and provided him with various resources.
Sure enough, he was right. Within two years, he had reached the top of the Forbes list.
For this kind of compound talent who can "apply what they have learned", it would be perfect to invite them back to the school to give a speech and set a good start for the younger students.
"Teacher, there's no need to give a speech! It's not good to be too high-profile. Besides, I'm often absent from class now, and the school hasn't persuaded me to quit, so don't go and stir up the nerves of the media!
Can I go back to school to give a speech after I officially graduate?"
Zhang Yida also knew that his current status as a "school student" was quite sensitive, so following the formal procedures, it would not be an exaggeration to expel him.
The reason why no media clings to him is that, on the one hand, he does not want to offend such a young rich man with huge potential, and on the other hand, he does not dare to offend Beijing University.
But Zhang Yida didn't dare to go back to school to give a speech without restraint. If it was posted online, and he was further scrutinized by netizens, he might really have to drop out of school.
Therefore, Zhang Yida has been "downplaying" his status as a college student in order to successfully obtain his diploma.
The main reason for getting a diploma is to give an explanation to your parents. You should also set an example for other college students, otherwise some people will follow suit and drop out to start a business. If you succeed, it will be easy to say, but if you fail, there will be no way out.
You have not been born again, so why should you drop out of school and start a business?
Do you think you are Bill Gates or Zhang Yida?
"Okay! Since you have concerns, I won't force it.
I have also heard that you are distributing loans to help the poor and farmers, and launching volunteer organizations to take in stray cats and dogs.
Well done, this highly reflects an entrepreneur's sense of social responsibility.
I hope you will continue to work hard and create greater career glory while also giving back to the society within your ability."
"Okay, thank you for the encouragement, teacher! In addition, I would like to donate 100 million yuan in research and development funds to the school for experimentation and research and development of scientific research projects."
"There is no need for this. The purpose of teaching and educating people in schools is to cultivate talents who are useful and contribute to society.
There is no need for every student to donate a sum of money to the school when he or she has achieved success.
Except for Yimin Wangjin, your company is still in its infancy stage!
By the way, it has only been two months since Yimin Wangjin was listed! The stock lifting period has not yet come, where did you get the money?"
"Um...I took out a loan of several hundred million."
"Look! You're making a loan and donating money to the school, which is even more wrong.
If you run your business well, operate it legally and compliantly, provide employment for some people, promote national economic prosperity, and bring value to society at the same time, this is better than anything else.
I heard that several of your companies have expanded their business overseas, which is even better.
Do a good job in the company! Adding glory to the country is the best "reward" for the school."
"Okay. Teacher, I understand. Please don't worry, I will definitely keep your teachings in mind."
Zhang Yida hung up the phone and couldn't calm down for a long time. The words "entrepreneur", "social responsibility" and "bringing glory to the country" kept echoing in his mind.
"Hello, County Magistrate G."
After a while, Zhang Yida received another call from the head of County G in his hometown.
"Yida, I heard that you entered the Forbes list. Congratulations.
It is an honor for us, as parents and officials, to have such a talented person like you in our Jinyu County!"
"Haha, the leader has been praised too much. We, the people of Jinyu County, can't live and work in peace and contentment without your correct leadership!"
County Magistrate G smiled even more on the other end of the phone, thinking: He is indeed a billionaire. He is so young and speaks so nicely. It is really a pleasure to deal with him.
After some business exchanges, County Magistrate G returned to the topic and said, "Yida, the renovation project of Yunding Stone City is almost completed. Do you have any new plans?"
Zhang Yida thought to himself, he is not trying to attract investment again! He quickly said: "Boss, this is what I think. After the repair of the ancient city wall is completed, it will be operated for a period of time.
If the passenger flow is ideal, we will consider adding another ski resort."
County Magistrate G was a little dazed. I really never thought about soliciting investment shamelessly. I have other tasks. He said with a smile:
"Don't be anxious about the ski resort, just take your time! Just think about it from a business perspective. You really don't have to sacrifice too much just because it's your hometown."
County Magistrate G's words made Zhang Yida frown again and again, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
"Well, I will hire professionals to examine the terrain and climate and form a professional report.
At present, the ski resort is only a prototype and no final decision has been made.”
Since he wasn't here to invest, Zhang Yida didn't want to hurry up. He wanted to wait and see more about the ski resort.
Even if the passenger volume cannot be reached, he will not immediately start the project.
"Well. Yida, what do you think of the air environment and business environment in the capital?"
Zhang Yida felt that County Magistrate G had been chatting with him here, and said: "It's okay! Because it is the capital, there are more talents of all kinds, and it is more suitable for Internet entrepreneurship.
As for the air, let it be like that! We also have smog in Chengdu, and it will be over once we get over it."
"Has Yida ever thought about relocating its business to Chengdu? Chengdu has been developing a new economy in recent years, and its policies have also provided a lot of support.
But we lack a leader.
If Ruixiang is willing to be the leader, the Chengdu government is willing to provide policy incentives in various aspects such as land, taxation, and talent settlement."
County Magistrate G's words were full of sincerity, and Zhang Yida could also feel the strong enthusiasm across the phone.
But is Chengdu suitable for Ruixiang?
Don't be kidding, there are no powerful universities or large Internet companies, and Ruixiang is a company focusing on financial technology.
How to recruit talents?
Livable, but quite livable.
"Boss, let's do this! Let's have a meeting to discuss whether we can build a second headquarters in Chengdu and relocate some departments there."
Zhang Yida thought about it for a long time and finally replied to County Magistrate G.
County Magistrate G must be acting as a lobbyist on behalf of the Chengdu government, and Zhang Yida is well aware of this.
As the number of its industries increases, the number of employees also increases.
Zhang Yida even had the idea of building a headquarters building.
It would also be a good idea to set up a second headquarters in Chengdu, so as to dump all the low-skilled positions there.
Land is also cheap, and several second headquarters buildings can be built.
Labor is also cheap, and the salary for the same position is about half to two-thirds of that in Beijing.
"Yeah, that's okay. With so many Internet companies under your umbrella, you can have the entire second headquarters in Chengdu!
I will report it to the city leaders and try to get more policy concessions for you.
Do you want to build a few headquarters buildings? We have a lot of land in the plains of Chengdu, and we will approve a few pieces for you when the time comes."
County Magistrate G was afraid that Zhang Yida would deceive him, so he tried to talk about all kinds of benefits.
Zhang Yida said that he would try his best to repay his hometown. Only then did County Magistrate G hang up the phone with satisfaction.
After Zhang Yida hung up the phone, he thought about it and couldn't agree too easily. He couldn't miss any of the discounts he wanted.
