Chapter 2078： Forbes richest man! !

In recent days, Forbes Magazine has suddenly held a press conference, announcing that it will start the world ’s richest list again this year.

And this year has been made.

They selected a total of 100 wealthy people from around the world and gave them a ranking according to the published wealth standard.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was a little excited.

In the past, Forbes magazine was actually making the list of the richest, but this is only for North America. At most, Canada is added.

Money is something that everyone loves. Seeing the rich list is just like how we used to look at the list of heroes and heroes in China in the past.

People in various countries can even have a specific comparison. If the richest man appears in his own country, it is also worth showing off.

Therefore, when Forbes magazine was sold yesterday, first of all, 1 million copies in North America were sold out.

Then 500,000 copies in Europe and South America were sold out early.

These are already their entire stocks, originally thought to be able to sell for two or three days, did not expect to sell so fast.

So that they can only immediately start the printing machine, and strive for an earlier replenishment.

Not to mention those who didn't buy it, those who got Forbes magazine, opened the magazine as soon as possible.

Because it is the first issue, Forbes Magazine has done very detailed, unlike the previous life, basically just arrange a list.

At most is behind the list, each person has a few lines of explanation.

This time, they wrote all the photos, materials, asset division status and future development potential of the 100 rich people.

The entire volume of Forbes magazine is more than three hundred pages, which is very kind.

No wonder many people want to buy it, even if it is a collection, it is also an excellent thing.

In this issue of Forbes magazine, there are two heads, one left and one right.

On the left is Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart.

The one on the right is much younger than him, only in his twenties, and is still a Chinese.

He is naturally Yin Jun.

Forbes Magazine's focus this time is on these two cover characters!

After opening the general narrative list, you will see that Sam Walton is ranked second. The first is the other person on the cover, Yin Jun, 23 years old.

Sam Walton is 67 years old this year. His youngest daughter is 10 years older than Yin Jun, and even his grandson is almost 20 years old this year.

That is to say, in terms of age, Yin Jun and Sam Walton's grandson are one generation.

But in terms of wealth, he ranked above Sam Walton.

Since the large amount of funds obtained in the previous years, Wal-Mart supermarkets have swept across the United States at a very fierce speed.

Wal-Mart's two characteristics of cheap and high quality, especially cheap goods, deeply touched the hearts of consumers, and therefore achieved great success.

In the past five years, Wal-Mart's average turnover growth rate has exceeded 20%, which is dazzling.

So even Wal-Mart's stocks kept rising, which also caused the stock of Sam Walton to skyrocket.

Now his shares are worth 23.3 billion U.S. dollars, making him the veritable richest man in the United States.

Forbes magazine also highly praised that, according to the current development, Wal-Mart will definitely become the largest supermarket chain in the United States.

As long as they are completed in the United States, Sam Walton's status as the richest man in the United States will definitely last for many years.

Even with their bold predictions, the Wal-Mart stock in the hands of Sam Walton could even be worth more than $ 100 billion!

I don't know if they want to use this amazing number to make everyone interested and discuss the meaning, but this astronomical figure of 100 billion dollars still makes most people's eyes wide.

Forbes' list of the richest people in North America over the years has been over US $ 150 million.

But the richest people before were only about $ 20 billion.

It was Sam Walton ’s assets that broke through to US $ 23.3 billion, which is already a very big improvement.

Now Forbes says that it is very likely that his future wealth will reach 100 billion US dollars! ?

Is this a mess?

However, when they saw the wealth statistics and introduction of Yin Jun ranked first, they immediately felt that Forbes magazine's bragging about Sam Walton was nothing.

In May 1984 last year, Xiangjiang ’s Kirin Daily once rated Yin Jun as the world ’s richest man, but it also attracted widespread attention worldwide.

Many newspapers and magazines have reprinted this news and various statistics of Kirin Daily.

Basically, everyone still agrees. In the past two years, many people directly referred to Yin Jun as "the richest man in the world."

However, after all, Kirin Daily is just a Xiangjiang newspaper. It has no authority in the Western world. Therefore, many people, when they call Yin Jun "the richest person in the world", have a hint of ridicule.

In their view, there are too many people in such small countries and places bragging about their wealth.

The rich people feel that they are the boss and the richest person in the world.

However, many of the wealthy's assets are virtual, or secretly increased the value of assets.

For example, if your company was originally worth only US $ 1 billion, but you want to say that it is worth US $ 10 billion, wouldn't it be your decision?

How many more companies like this have tens of billions of dollars in assets?

Therefore, many people who do not read the reports of Kirin Daily think of Yin Jun's richest man.

But Forbes Magazine is different.

Forbes Magazine, which has been in existence for more than 70 years, is very famous in the Western world.

Its industry is actually about the economy and commerce. There are often many insightful articles and comments, and many European media often quote them.

Over time, Forbes magazine has gained a lot of fame in the world.

As the United States became more and more powerful, Forbes Magazine also became immersed in light, and has since become a very authoritative existence.

It lists the world's richest man as Yin Jun so vigorously, and of course has his own basis.

The data that comes out is not afraid to be checked by everyone.

The ethics of this paper media is still very strong. They are not like the online media 30 years later, they are talking nonsense with their mouths open, and they all rely on the editor.

Forbes magazine mainly gave Yin Junli's wealth, or his industry outside the mainland.

The factories and land in the mainland of China are not very reliable in their opinion-this is also an important reason why many people disagree with Yin Jun, the richest man in the world.

Let me talk about Yin Jun's industry in Xiangjiang.

He owns the world's largest cultural toy industry chain-the first company of Kirin Culture.

These include Kirin Satellite TV, Kirin Daily, Kirin Weekly, Kirin Toy Factory, Kirin Game Company and Kirin Records.

One of the most important ones is naturally Kirin Weekly and its derived industrial chain.

Considering the comics industry, the sale of peripheral products, etc., Forbes magazine cited the average valuation of four investment banks and securities companies, and valued this series for ultra-high-quality assets with a valuation of $ 10 billion.

Don't think the valuation is too high.

Last year, Kirin Weekly ’s comics and stand-alone revenue reached HK $ 10 billion a year.

Even higher is the sale of a series of popular toys, clothing, stationery, etc., such as Transformers, Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball, etc., bringing Kirin Group more than 5 billion US dollars in sales.

With such high profits, the valuation of 10 billion US dollars is already very conservative.

But in fact, the most profitable is the Kirin Game Company.

With the decline of Atari, Kirin Games has captured the worldwide handheld video game market with its own game kid handheld game consoles, with total sales in 2005 exceeding US $ 15 billion!

Even if it is underestimated, the valuation of Kirin Game Company cannot be lower than 10 billion US dollars.

And then to be more conservative, they added up the entire valuation of Kirin Culture and calculated 20 billion US dollars, which is really speechless.

As for the Lantau Island where Yin Jun spent a lot of money to develop, as well as Kirin Real Estate, Kirin Movies, etc., the valuation is 2 billion US dollars, which is not the main body of the Kirin Group.

There is also Kirin Communications, which has now done business all over Asia, and even the US and Chinese are using their mobile phones. For this part of the emerging industry, Forbes ’valuation is very bold, and a valuation of US $ 5 billion has come. .

At the same time, there are a few comments here. If you look at the future with the greatest potential for development, it should be this Kirin communication company. It is estimated that Motorola Electronics, which is likely to become the second company in the future, is not necessarily worth more than US $ 30 billion!

Therefore, Xiangjiang Yinjun's total assets are calculated to be $ 27 billion.

Next is Yin Jun ’s Kirin Mining in Western Australia.

Two consecutive high-precision iron ore areas with more than 1 billion tons have been found, with conservative values ​​above 50 billion US dollars.

Considering the huge basic investment in various road repairs and port repairs, and the price of iron ore relative to the cost, it is not high, so it is only a wealth value estimated at 10 billion US dollars ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Not so badly treated by Kirin Mining.

Oh, yes, Wankang is also considered as a member of the Kirin mining system, so it is not listed separately, and is included in the US $ 10 billion.

Yin Jun's assets in the United States, Forbes seemed to be familiar with it.

They believe that Yin Junmei's assets are basically divided into two series.

The first is the Department of Entertainment Media.

Including ABC TV, Disney, United Arts Movies, Sports Entertainment News, Me Magazine, Vanity Fair Magazine, New York Unicorns and so on.

Listed by these categories, the valuation is another $ 13 billion.

The second is about the first line of electronic technology.

Including Kirin Computer, Kirin Lab, Kirin Network and so on.

But this part is not very valuable, even if Kirin Computer sold more than two million computers last year, because they do not have any patents, so the valuation is not high.

The sum of several companies is about 5 billion US dollars, which is much lower than the original valuation of Kirin Daily.

So the assets of the United States are $ 18 billion.

In addition to this, Yin Jun also has a separate type of asset, which is equity investment.

This is the company where Yin Jun holds shares.

For example, Nike, Apple, Microsoft, MTV, Xiangjiang Electric, Cheung Kong Group, etc., most of these are listed companies, or the valuation is very clear.

List the specific figures, and then figure them out, about 5 billion US dollars.

To sum up, Forbes magazine reached a conclusion.

Mr. Yin Jun ’s assets are 60 billion US dollars, surpassing all the people in the world and winning the throne of the world ’s richest man!

This is what our Americans have seriously commented, and it is definitely not written indiscriminately by second- and third-rate small newspapers and magazines! !
