Tencent shares 60%, Weibo shares 30%, Far away Retail shares 66%. This was Li Dong's shareholding ratio in the three major groups.
In addition, Far away Retail held the controlling stake in Far away Logistics, Far away Finance, Far away Investment … and many other subsidiary companies.
Just the three major groups had brought Li Dong 197.5 billion USD in book value.
As for the other unlisted companies, Forbes had given them a valuation of 10 billion USD.
207.5 billion USD. Based on the current exchange rate, Li Dong's family's wealth had reached 1,411 billion RMB!
Far Away Retail's listing, Li Dong's wealth had increased significantly and exceeded 1.4 billion RMB.
It had exceeded 1.4 trillion. At this moment, no one in Huaxia thought about surpassing it.
Hsu Shengzhe, the perennial number two, after acquiring Vanke, his personal wealth had increased to 50 billion RMB, and he still occupied the number two position.
But there was a world of difference between a number one and a number two.
But this time, Hsu Shengzhe had also made a lot of money from Far Away Retail's listing. After Far Away Retail's dilution, Hsu Shengzhe had increased his share to 1.2 billion shares, accounting for 2.4% of Far Away Retail's shares after the listing.
This time, Hsu Shengzhe's shares in Far Away Retail was worth as much as 31.9 billion RMB.
This was something that Xu Shengzhe did not dare to think about in the past, nor would he have thought about it.
Before Longhua Retail was listed, the entire Longhua Group's net assets were less than 20 billion RMB.
Before Far Away Retail was listed, Hsu Shengzhe had used Longhua Group's shares to swap with Far Away Retail. In fact, he had suffered a lot of losses.
When Longhua Retail was listed, its market value continued to rise, reaching close to 100 billion HKD. At this time, Li Dong's 20% shares were worth close to 20 billion RMB.
Everyone who knew about the swap felt that Hsu Shengzhe had suffered a loss.
But now, Xu Shengzhe, who only wanted to leave a way out for himself, had made a huge profit.
More than 30 billion RMB!
In addition to the increase in wealth, outsiders did not know that Li Dong had helped Hsu Shengzhe several times.
Hsu Shengzhe had exchanged 20% shares for Far Away Retail's shares and Li Dong's help when Longhua was listed and when Vanke was acquired.
At that time, Hsu Shengzhe did not think about making money and he did not think Far Away Retail would bring him any benefits.
But the reality was bright. When the market closed on the 3rd, Hsu Shengzhe's Far Away Retail's wealth had reached 31.9 billion.
With his Longhua Group's shares, Hsu Shengzhe's wealth continued to rise. On the same day, Hsu Shengzhe's wealth had reached 75 billion RMB!
Other than Hsu Shengzhe, the other big winner was Sun Tao.
Sun Tao had raised 300 million RMB to increase his shares to 700 million, which was 1.4% of Far Away Retail's shares after the listing.
Far Away Retail's listing, Sun Tao had also made a lot of money. His shares were worth 18.6 billion RMB!
According to the latest wealth list, Sun Tao was ranked 24th on Hua Xia's wealth list.
At the same time, Far Away Retail's listing had created countless millionaires.
Yuan Chengdao, as the group's CEO, was the executive who held the most shares Far Away Retail's shares, apart from Sun Tao.
On the eve of the listing, Yuan Chengdao held 15 million shares Far Away Retail's shares. In addition, he also held some Tencent and Weibo shares.
Far Away Retail's listing this time, Yuan Chengdao's personal wealth had increased greatly. His net worth had exceeded the 500 million mark for the first time!
The other board members had different levels of wealth. Some were high, like Yuan Chengdao, while others were low, like Qi Yunna, who came later.
But even Qi Yunna's personal wealth had exceeded the 300 million mark after Far Away Retail's listing this time.
Far Away Retail's number of millionaires did not increase, but there were more than 20 people who were billionaires. There were hundreds of people who were worth tens of millions, and countless people who were worth millions.
And among these people, Sun Tao had worked Far Away Retail for six years.
The shortest was Kong Xiangyu, who had worked for less than three years.
But now, their net worth had skyrocketed. The speed at which they were making money was faster than world-class professional managers.
…
Far Away Retail's successful listing was a feast, a feast for countless people.
Everyone got what they wanted, and everyone got everything they wanted.
And just when the public opinion had not stopped, Far Away made another unexpected move.
Or rather, it was Li Dong's personal choice.
On May 5th, Far Away announced to the public that the chairman of Far Away Holdings Group, Mr. Li Dong, had officially donated 5% of Far Away Holdings' shares to the Distance Charitable Fund for operation.
Li Dong had made arrangements for the donation of shares when his daughter was born.
But because of the many procedures, it was only now that the government had given the green light to complete the donation.
Far Away Holdings was still Li Dong's personal group. The 5% he donated was almost 5% of his personal wealth.
Of course, because some of the Tencent and Weibo shares had been transferred to the private fund company, the actual value of Far Away Holdings was slightly lower than the Li Family's wealth.
But even so, this donation of 5% of the shares, which did not seem to be much, had become Hua Xia's largest charitable donation.
Nearly 70 billion RMB in assets!
This was different from the donations of foreign tycoons. Foreign charitable donations were partly for tax avoidance, and partly for the charity that was donated to belonged to one's own charity.
In China, charities, whether it was a non-governmental organization or a privately established charity, did not belong to one's own person.
Li Dong donated up to 70 billion RMB to a charity foundation. Although it was the Distance Charitable Fund, the money had nothing to do with him.
But overseas, charities could be under the name of an individual. In other words, the money was just under a different name and continued to be stored in one's own account.
So even though Li Dong's generosity was not as great as that of the former richest man, the truth was that Li Dong's charitable donations were extremely terrifying.
For a moment, the outside world was in an uproar.
At this moment, no one said that Li Dong was a fool anymore.
Over the years, Li Dong's donations to charity were not small.
In the past, everyone thought that he was stupid and that he was fishing for fame. That was because Li Dong had not reached that status yet, and he had not reached the point where he was not short of money.
But now, Li Dong had really reached the point where he was not short of money.
And at this moment, Li Dong did not need to fish for fame. He was already standing at the top.
…
Regarding Li Dong's donation, no one felt that there was anything wrong with it.
Including Shen Qian and the other relatives, they did not feel that there was anything wrong with it.
When one's wealth reached the level of Li Dong's, which was more than a trillion, it was the right choice to give back to society.
Originally, Li Dong's golden body was already shining brightly. When he chose to donate this 5% of shares, not only did Li Dong shine brightly, but even Far away Holdings' golden body was achieved!
70 billion was not actual money, but shares. Just this point alone was enough to make Far Away support the successive governors.
Even if Far Away encountered a crisis, even if Li Dong was no longer around, there would still be people who would stand up to support Far Away, and let Far Away successfully overcome the crisis.
This share was actually not for Li Dong to forge a golden body for himself. At this time, Li Dong did not need it.
So when Li Dong completed the share donation, Yuan Chengdao and the others suddenly felt the pressure on their shoulders instantly dissipate.
…
Far Away Building.
After Far Away's retail listing, Far Away had been immersed in a sea of joy.
However, at this moment, Far Away's board of directors' meeting room, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Far Away's retail listing plan was completed, Far Away Holdings became the world's largest super group in terms of market value, and Far Away Charity could protect Far Away …
At this moment, there was only one goal that Li Dong had not been able to achieve all these years, and that was to surpass Wal-Mart.
In terms of market value, Li Dong was actually close to achieving his goal.
The key was in revenue. Far Away still had a big gap with Wal-Mart.
However, Yuan Chengdao and the others at this moment firmly believed that if Far Away was given another three years, or even less, Far Away would definitely surpass Wal-Mart!
This was because after entering the tenth year, Far Away's online sales continued to rise, and it was even stronger than last year.
If this continued, as long as Wal-Mart did not have too many achievements in e-commerce, it was only a matter of time before it surpassed them.
This was something that was already destined. For Li Dong, he no longer had the desire to challenge it.
Up until this moment, he had already done what he wanted, what he wanted to accomplish, and what he wanted to do.
Therefore, at this moment, even though Yuan Chengdao had been looking forward to Li Dong saying those words, when Li Dong really said them, Yuan Chengdao's feelings were extremely complicated.
In the meeting room.
Li Dong leaned back in his chair, his expression very relaxed. He laughed and said, "Now that things have come to this, it might not be a good thing for me to stay.
Wealth, status, goals, dreams, honor …
These are the things that everyone dreams of, I got them all.
Not only have I obtained them, but they are also far beyond my imagination.
Far Away's system is now also on the right track.
All these years, I'm really tired, tired.
Therefore, to me, whether I stay or leave, there's not much of a difference. I'd rather be more free and relaxed.
Being a hands-off shopkeeper is something I've always dreamt of.
I've been thinking about this day for a few years, I've been longing for this day.
At that time, I said that I hoped that I could retire at 25. Later on, I extended the deadline for a period of time, thinking that I could retire before 30.
However, things are much smoother than I imagined, especially the battle at the end of 2009, which directly helped us clear all the obstacles.
At this time, I really don't have much motivation to fight for my career anymore.
In my opinion, surpassing Wal-Mart is inevitable, and it won't be too difficult.
I might not be able to accomplish it this year, but next year or the year after, I feel that I can definitely accomplish it.
For a foregone conclusion, you want me to suffer for another two years, then I might as well just wait for you to report good news to me.
During this period of time, CEO Yuan will temporarily take over my position, and he will have full authority to handle the group's matters.
CEO Sun will take over CEO Yuan's position, and you guys should get used to it.
In August, on the fourth anniversary of the establishment of the group, I will officially step down as the chairman of the board. "
After Li Dong finished speaking, seeing that everyone was silent, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why? Shouldn't you guys be happy at this time? After being suppressed by me for so many years, the outside world is laughing at the management team of Far Away. They have become my, Li Dong's, puppets, and don't even have any autonomy. Now, after suppressing you for so many years, I should at least give you a chance to show off. Of course … "
Li Dong paused, looked around again, and said with a smile, "Of course, if there really is something that you can't handle, you can look for me.
After all, after struggling for six years in Far Away, I wanted to relax, but I didn't expect you to torment Far Away.
"That's it. Actually, these days, I haven't been to the group many times, and you guys have done very well.
I won't say anything else, just do what you did before, and do what you did before.
"Don't slack off just because you have money.
"Wealth is still based on the foundation of Far Away doing better. Once something happens to Far Away, everyone's wealth is just an illusion.
"Especially CEO Sun, he is now one of the few tycoons in Hua Xia.
"Don't lose the mood to work just because you have money.
"If that's really the case, I will find CEO Sun to settle the score."
Although Li Dong said this with a smile, Sun Tao said very solemnly, "General Manager Li, don't worry. Far Away's retail shares, I won't sell them. I don't dare to say for the rest of my life, but within ten years, I won't sell a single cent! Far Away's strength is the foundation of my strength. Towards Far Away, my feelings are no less than anyone else's! "
Li Dong smiled and pressed his hand down, saying, "Don't be so formal, I'm just saying. When you are short of money, it is necessary to sell a portion of it to improve your life.
"Don't be a billionaire, living a life worse than a multimillionaire.
"I know how deep your feelings for Far Away are. To be honest, I'm afraid you have more feelings for it than me.
"That's it then, I won't say anything else.
"Next, don't look for me if there's nothing important. The important matter I'm talking about is a matter of life and death. Otherwise, don't bother me even if you lose tens of billions.
"Let me have a good rest. I won't be taking the team with me, Old Yuan, you deal with it yourself.
"Also, let me remind you, Far Away's financial sector, if it really comes to a desperate situation, it is necessary to bring in some state-owned assets. It is very necessary.
"You don't have to discuss these matters with me when the time comes.
"There's nothing else. As for the secretary, I'll take Old Tan with me after making the arrangements. In the future, there's no need for the company to pay him.
"Oh right …"
Li Dong patted his head and said with a smile, "I forgot to say something. I've made some arrangements for the security company and split it up. "I've also split Hong Bing and the others from Far Away and set up a small private security company. "Business is business, private is private. I'll take advantage of everyone and embarrass myself. "There should be nothing else …"
Seeing that Li Dong had arranged everything properly, even these small matters, everyone knew that his departure from Far Away was a foregone conclusion.
Even though it was not a life and death separation, even though Li Dong was still Far Away's largest shareholder.
But the fact that Li Dong, who had been shielding everyone from the wind and rain, had chosen to leave still made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Dong did not care whether it was real or fake.
In this conference room, there were people who could not wait for him to leave immediately, and there were also people who really could not bear for him to leave. This was inevitable.
Without any more nonsense, Li Dong completed the arrangements, got up and walked out.
The others wanted to follow, but Li Dong waved his hand and did not let anyone follow.
…
An hour later, Li Dong walked out of the building's entrance.
Tan Yong was already waiting in the car.
Li Dong got in the car and looked at Tan Yong with a smile. "Old Tan, you really don't regret it?"
He gave Tan Yong two choices. He could continue to drive for him, or he could enter Far Away's Ministry of Supervision and become the Deputy Minister of Supervision.
This position was previously left by Wang Jie.
Compared to driving, becoming the Deputy Minister of an important department was a world of difference.
But Tan Yong did not even think about it and chose to continue driving for him.
When Li Dong asked, Tan Yong chuckled. "I'm just an uncouth man, and I don't like to learn. Besides, I'm already so old, and I can't learn anything. I'll drive for you until I can't drive anymore. At that time, I'll go home and enjoy my retirement as a rich man. There's nothing to regret. If I don't drive for you, what else do you think I can do? That kid of mine, when he's old enough, if you trust me, let him drive for you! "
Li Dong laughed. He leaned over and patted him on the shoulder. "You're a fool. If it were me, I'd go home and enjoy my life, but I still need my son to take over. If you're not a fool, who is?"
Tan Yong grinned. "I'm not a fool. If I were a fool, how could I drive a car and become a billionaire?"
In the last internal subscription, Tan Yong bought 1 million shares of Far Away Retail, which was worth nearly 30 million yuan.
Before that, he got 200,000 shares of Tencent, which was worth more than 20 million yuan.
He wasn't a billionaire, but with some rewards from Li Dong, the current Tan Yong was no longer a pauper who would risk his life for a few thousand yuan a few years ago.
Therefore, Tan Yong didn't think that he was a fool. How could a fool drive to this extent?
Li Dong laughed again and said, "Up to you. Let's go home!"
Tan Yong started the car steadily and slowly drove away from Far Away Industrial Park.
At this moment, a figure flashed in Tan Yong's mind.
He and Li Dong had done well from the beginning to the end, and had also obtained great wealth. But that guy, on the other hand, had not.
It was better to be a fool.
That guy was the smartest, the easiest to learn, and the most capable among the four of them.
Unfortunately, that guy didn't live to see this day.
Tan Yong shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
