In the Peach Garden, while Lu Ming was enjoying breakfast, he was also reading a news report, which was the 2O18 Forbes Global Rich List cited by domestic media.
Entering the new year, Lu Ming has become the richest man in the world.
And he reached the top at the age of 27, which is unprecedented and probably will be difficult to come by in the future.
Among the top twenty super-rich people on this list, only Lu Ming is Chinese, but he still tops the list.
Frankly speaking, Lu Ming doesn't like this kind of list very much, but there are organizations or media who like to create this kind of top list. If they don't like it, there is no good way.
According to Forbes' estimates, Lu Ming's current nominal net worth is about US$117.5 billion. However, Forbes said that the founder of Amazon is very likely to "threat" his throne as the richest man. Bald Bezos has taken advantage of the skyrocketing stock price of Amazon to increase his net worth.
A rising tide lifts all boats, followed this year with a net worth of US$112 billion.
The gap between the two sides is not big.
Gates, the original richest man, retreated to third place with a net worth of US$90 billion, followed by Warren Buffett with US$84 billion and Bernard Arnault with US$72 billion.
During this period, foreign media have been reporting extensively on Lu Ming's ascension to the title of the world's richest man.
Don't think that those foreign media are just watching the excitement and talking like melon-eaters. Many European and American media use this as another argument to conclude that China in the East is rising and surpassing the West in all aspects. Now the list of richest people has also fallen.
Then rise to ideology.
In short, it’s okay to have bad intentions.
Moreover, Lu Ming really doesn't like the "first person". As a Chinese from the bottom up, he knows that being the "first person" is not good.
If it is a superior role, it belongs to the Qian hexagram according to the "Book of Changes".
Lu Ming is currently in the ninth position on the sixth line. This is a very dangerous position because the line in the upper ninth position is called "Kanglong has regrets". "Kang" represents the highest and "regret" represents disaster.
.
After reaching the extreme, things will reverse themselves, just like a parabola. After reaching the top, it will reverse and fall.
The best position is in the fifth line and the ninth and fifth line. The line "Flying dragon is in the sky, it is beneficial to see the adults" is very good. Don't be so high-pitched to usher in the extreme of things.
If Lu Ming is a subordinate character, according to the "Book of Changes", it belongs to the Kun hexagram. It is also very dangerous now, and has reached the position of the sixth line and the sixth line. The line "Dragon fights in the wild, its blood is black and yellow" fully shows this
The location is extremely dangerous.
Regardless of whether it is Qian or Kun, it is dangerous to reach the sixth line, because every seventh line will change.
Nothing can be too high-pitched, only when it is moderate can you go further.
However, this kind of thing is not something Lu Ming can stop himself. Once he reaches this position, he has to bear its weight. Some problems cannot be avoided. If he wants to go further, he must keep his mind clear and solve these problems reasonably and properly.
Lu Ming stopped paying attention to the news after watching for a while. While eating, his eyes wandered to Cheng Xinyan, the housekeeping girl. He paid more attention and then looked away, while he was thinking rapidly in his heart.
He is worth US$117.5 billion, which is a nominal worth of RMB 755.8 billion. This is an astronomical figure. Growing wealth to this scale has become a burden.
Such a huge amount of wealth cannot be handed over to the country for free, nor can it be messed with, nor can it be allowed to lie motionless.
It requires a lot of wisdom to deal with this problem reasonably and properly. Fortunately, Lu Ming is a man of two lives in a sense. Without the personal heritage accumulated in his previous life, he would never be able to understand "Kang Long" at the age of 27.
The meaning of the four words "regret" means that having such a fortune will definitely bring endless disasters. Sooner or later, you will be killed by this wealth.
It is impossible to hand over this wealth to the country. Even if Lu Ming wanted to give it to the country, he would not take it, even if he wanted to, because the Chinese people are the most complicated. If Lu Ming did this, everyone would definitely suspect that he must have been harmed.
Due to some force majeure factors, other wealthy people will try their best to transfer their property abroad to avoid following Lu Ming's footsteps and causing greater losses to the country.
Don't mess around with this wealth. If you mess around, it will lead to chaos. For example, mindless donations to charity may not be a good thing but a bad thing. First, it will create donors. I am poor and I am reasonable. Anyway, there are people to help, grant
It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish; secondly, it will offend almost all the wealthy class. If you donate tens or hundreds of billions, other billionaires will donate hundreds of thousands or millions to charity.
If you feel embarrassed, others won't be able to stand up to you, so you will be hated by others.
This kind of wealth can't just lie around and grow moldy. More than 70 million doesn't matter, but more than 700 billion is absolutely unacceptable. Just lying around and growing moldy is dead money. Possessing it without using its potential is called "possessing" in down-to-earth terms.
Although it is legally owned by Lu Ming personally, when the number reaches a huge scale, it really does not belong to the individual, but to the whole society. It is only during this period that the control power is given to him.
That's all.
If you don't control it well and don't use it to its full potential, God will take it away. Countless cases in history have proven this.
This is something that many rich people fail to understand, so their lifelong efforts fall short, are ruined, or even endanger them.
Fortunately, Lu Ming figured it out in his last life, and as a result, his wealth increased. Because he managed the wealth well, God not only did not take it away, but gave him more wealth to manage.
You can't hand it over to the state, you can't mess around, you can't just lie still, this won't work, and that won't work either.
It's still not okay not to deal with it, because this is called inaction.
There seems to be no solution.
In fact, of course there is a solution, because if there is no solution, there must be a solution. If there is no solution, how can there be no solution?
Therefore, we have to find a reasonable and appropriate arrangement. The key lies in whether it is in place. Only if it is in place can we break the current state of "a dragon with regrets" or avoid the tragedy of "a dragon fighting in the wild, its blood is black and yellow".
Lu Ming is not in a hurry about this matter, because he already has a solution in his heart, but he can't rush anything. He needs to make arrangements step by step, and things will fall into place naturally. This is the highest state.
Lu Ming sat for a while after breakfast. After finishing these thoughts, he was ready to go to the company. He turned his head and looked at Cheng Xinyan: "Xiaoyan, bring me your coat."
"OK!"
After a while, Cheng Xinyan took a coat and handed it to Lu Ming. The latter put it on and left the room. Cheng Xinyan also started to put away the tableware.
The driver, Xiao Li, had already driven the HQ car to the entrance of the yard and had been waiting for a long time. A few minutes later, he drove the boss to the company.
…
Tiansheng Capital Headquarters, Board of Directors.
When he arrived at the company, he convened a meeting with all the directors. At the meeting, Lu Ming, who was sitting in the chief position, got straight to the point and said: "I submitted the annual profit distribution proposal of Tiansheng Capital to the board of directors, but the specific amount has not yet been decided. What do you think? What do you think?
Let’s discuss it.”
After speaking, Lu Ming remained silent and let everyone speak. This was what he had always done, closing his mouth to hear different voices.
The directors present at the meeting looked at each other. The chairman's opening words had two meanings. The first was that dividends must be distributed, which set the tone. The second was that the amount of dividends was uncertain. In fact, the core focus was just one, which was how much to distribute.
The directors attending the meeting discussed for a while. Yu Tingnan looked at Lu Ming: "Chairman, I suggest you pay as much dividends as possible. The company's net assets are indeed too high. If you don't pay more, even if the stock price drops, it will rebound quickly."
Going up to repair it will give foreign investors the opportunity to repeatedly harvest the market by bargain hunting."
The company's net assets are too high. They are now 1.5 trillion, which is higher than the market value. The price-to-book ratio is even lower. Not only is it broken, it has also dropped to about 0.6. In other words, it is a low-price sale.
After cash dividends are distributed, the company's net assets can be reduced, allowing the market price and price-to-book ratio to return to a relatively reasonable range.
Yu Tingnan dared to suggest this. In addition to the company's problems, she also knew that the chairman would benefit the most from this. The chairman who accounts for 55% of the shares in cash dividends can cut half of the shares, and the dividend funds do not need to pay taxes. The holding period
No tax deduction for more than one year.
In addition, her proposal naturally represents the interests of the shareholders behind it. Director Yu Tingnan represents the Guojia team organizations such as the Social Security Fund. In particular, the Social Security Fund holds shares for a long time and likes listed companies that can have stable and generous cash dividends every year.
.
In the end, Lu Ming listened to what everyone said and already knew what he was talking about. After Yu Tingnan finished speaking, he smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "Okay, let's share a little more this time, then we will share 250 billion. Let's vote. Agree."
