While Li Dong was doing the accounting, someone was also helping Li Dong.
The Hurun List was usually released in September or October.
However, since June or July, Hurun's team had begun to sort out the data and prepare for the release of this year's list.
Today, the main task of Hurun's team was to calculate the assets of Far Away and Li Dong's personal wealth.
As the most famous entrepreneur in the country at present, Li Dong, who had made a bold claim to become the richest man in the country, was Hurun's first target this year.
In the small studio, the employees were surrounded by newspapers, magazines, newspapers, and some printed information from the Internet.
This was their biggest source of information and one of the reasons why the Hurun List was criticized every year.
That was because these guys rarely went to the field to investigate, and most rich people were not willing to be interviewed, unless they wanted to make a name for themselves.
Since they could not get the internal information, they could only rely on themselves to estimate and verify.
In any case, the major media paid a lot of attention to these rich people, and some first-hand information was often leaked.
For example, the media had reported on Far Away's financing and quoted price.
Starting in the morning and in the evening, the employees finally reached the final summary stage after a tiring day.
When he received the summary data, Hurun was stunned for a moment and said in surprise, "You didn't make a mistake?"
He had been in Hua Xia for many years, and his team was also made up of people from Hua Xia, so they naturally spoke Mandarin.
The employees also understood his surprise. One of the team managers nodded and said, "The data should be correct. Of course, it's only news from the outside, so it's hard to say whether it's true or not. But based on these external data, we don't think there's much difference. "
“My God！”
Hurun looked at the data in his hand and could not help but shout again. He muttered, "110 billion. I really suspect that you made a mistake. Far Away has only been established for a short time. How is that possible? "
The manager shrugged and said, "Although it's hard to believe, it's the truth. Unless the media helps raise the value of Far Away, but Far Away hasn't been listed yet, so I don't think it's possible. "
"What about this?"
Hu Run pointed to Li Dong's personal assets, which clearly stated "72 billion."
The supervisor took a look and continued to spread his hands. "You may not know this, but the Faraway Group almost belongs to Li Dong.
He had heard some rumors that Faraway Group had a mysterious shareholder.
However, the mysterious shareholders haven't shown up yet, so we can only ignore them.
The 5% of Faraway Group's shares are used as charity funds for the foundation, which we did not include. In addition, Weibo has shares in other companies, which are also excluded.
There was also the Chairman of Faraway Supermarket, Sun Tao. It was said that he owned some shares of Faraway Supermarket, but no one knew how much he owned.
In short, even after deducting these, we still have 72 billion yuan. "
Hu Run clicked his tongue when he heard that. He was still in disbelief as he said, "It's said that the wealth of Hua Xia's tycoons has shrunk significantly due to the financial crisis this year. But from the looks of it, the situation isn't that serious."
The others were also a little puzzled, but for now, they had only calculated Li Dong's wealth. They didn't know much about the situation of the others.
As for whether or not their wealth had shrunk, they would only know after the statistics were completed.
The few people discussed for a while. Hu Run thought for a while and said, "Send an email to Li Dong later. Tell him that I want to meet him. I hope he can take the time to talk to me."
The employees all laughed dryly and didn't say anything.
This was a common practice every year. Hu Run would send an email to the top tycoons on the list to make an appointment.
Of course, the success rate was very low.
Six out of ten people directly refused, and the remaining four didn't agree. Three of them didn't have any news at all, probably ignored. Only the last one had hope of meeting him.
Not everyone wanted to be in the spotlight. Since the appearance of Hu Run on the list, many tycoons wanted to eat this big-nosed foreigner.
Of course, everyone still had their scruples.
A foreigner, a celebrity, and the attention of the public. These preconditions made the tycoons angry, but they couldn't do anything.
After all, even without this guy, there were still others.
Since the appearance of the list, they were destined to be low-key.
Unless the low-key tycoons could avoid the spotlight, the others couldn't escape the spotlight. In this era of advanced information, they couldn't escape the spotlight.
After Hu Run said this, the supervisor who spoke before thought for a while and said, "There's another thing we would like to ask for your opinion on. That is Shen Qian. So far, 5% of the shares are under Shen Qian's custody, and the total value is more than 5 billion. If she wants to be on the list, her ranking won't be low. "
Hu Run said, "Of course she has to be on the list!"
"But …"
"But what?"
"Her father is the mayor of Beijing …"
Hu Run was immediately stumped. After a while, he said in a muffled voice, "Forget it then. I still want to stay in Hua Xia."
Even though he was a foreigner, he had been in Hua Xia for so many years and understood what it meant to be an official.
Not to mention a big shot like the mayor of Beijing. Now that he had exposed his daughter, if there was a bad influence, he could just wait to be repatriated. That would be the best outcome.
Hu Run was not stupid. It wasn't that he didn't know that some second-generation heirs had amassed a lot of wealth over the years. Even some families were the same.
However, the names of these people had never appeared on the list. From this point of view, it was reasonable for Hu Run to be popular in Hua Xia.
Without continuing to talk about Shen Qian, Hu Run grinned and said, "Alright, guys, let's not talk about these unhappy things. After all, everyone's hard work today has paid off. We can have a celebration dinner tonight! "
"But … we're out of money."
The supervisor shrugged and glanced at the extremely stingy boss. The treat was going dutch, and they didn't want to waste money.
Hu Run smiled and said, "Guys, it's my treat today. Don't worry!"
"Really?"
The employees couldn't believe it. When did the boss become so generous?
After working in Hua Xia for so many years, the boss had not treated them more than five times, and that was already an overstatement.
Today, they had only sorted out Li Dong's data. Even if they wanted to treat him, they had to wait until the list was released.
Just when they were feeling suspicious, Hu Run smiled and said, "A few news agencies know that we have started to compile the data, and they are very concerned about Li Dong. I hope we can sell a copy of the data to them for 2000 RMB each. I have sold it to 5 companies. Guys, I have decided. I will treat everyone tonight. You can eat whatever you want within 500 RMB! "
"Cough, cough, cough … …"
Everyone was helpless. They knew he was not that generous.
A dozen employees and 500 RMB. In Beijing, they couldn't afford to eat anything.
At least they had earned 10,000 RMB. This was the result of everyone's hard work. You are too stingy.
Hu Run didn't care what they thought. He was already in a good mood to fork out 500 RMB. If not, he wouldn't be treating them.
He had already given them their salaries, and they still want extra money? Don't you know he is a foreigner? Foreigners don't care about human relationships.
… …
The next day.
June 14th.
Li Dong was about to hold a board meeting when his cell phone rang.
No one could follow the news as fast as Hsu Shengzhe.
When the call went through, Hsu Shengzhe shouted exaggeratedly, "Brother Dong, Master Dong, the richest man in East China! I'm here to worship you, boss! This is amazing. This is really amazing! I say, you recently acquired Carrefour and did promotions. You were still complaining about being poor a few days ago. Aren't you embarrassed? Alright, don't say anything. Just lend me 5 billion later … … "
"Get lost!"
Li Dong did not wait for him to finish and scolded him. He was very sensitive about money now.
Hsu Shengzhe still dared to think about his money. He was asking for a scolding.
After scolding him, Li Dong said, "What's the matter? Why are you acting so weird? Did your wife punish you to kneel on the keyboard?"
"Go to hell!"
Hsu Shengzhe laughed and scolded him, then said, "You really don't know?"
"What's the situation? Make it clear. "
"Your secretary should be fired. She doesn't even pay attention to the boss's news. How can she be a secretary? Ask her to come to me. I will train her well. I will send her back to you after she is trained … … "
Li Dong said angrily, "Come here and say it in front of me. I will send her to you. What do you think?"
"Ahem, forget it."
Hsu Shengzhe teased for a while before returning to the topic, "Alright, I will not say anything. Go read the newspaper yourself. Several major financial newspapers have reported about it. There should be news on the Internet too. He is going to be the richest man in East China. His news channels are really outdated. "
"Cut the crap. If there's nothing else, I will hang up."
Li Dong hung up and thought for a while before shouting, "Bai Su, bring me today's financial newspapers!"
Soon, Bai Su came in with a stack of newspapers. Li Dong asked, "Is there any news worth paying attention to today?"
Bai Su heard his question and thought for a while. "There is, but it's just some gossip. It has something to do with you."
"Let me see."
Bai Su handed over a newspaper. Li Dong took it and glanced at it. On the front page, Li Dong saw the news that Hsu Shengzhe said.
"Shocking, the youngest richest man in history!"
Li Dong skimmed through it and roughly understood the situation.
This newspaper revealed that Hu Run's team had begun to prepare for the World's Richest List. Yesterday, they calculated Li Dong's personal wealth.
In the distant Li Dong's case, his personal wealth had skyrocketed in the middle of 2008, and it had doubled from the previous year.
His personal wealth reached 72 billion, and the total assets of Faraway Group officially exceeded 100 billion, entering the ranks of the army of 100 billion.
Although the wealth of other people on last year's list had not been calculated in detail, many newspapers had reported that Yang Huiyan, whose net worth exceeded 100 billion last year, had shrunk significantly this year and may be less than half of last year.
The situation of others was similar, but their wealth had shrunk a little.
From this point of view, Li Dong's position as the richest man this year should be stable.
This year, Li Dong was just 23 years old!
Last year's richest man, Yang Huiyan, was 27 years old this year. Last year, she was 26 years old, and this was not counting the second generation.
Among the richest generation, Li Dong created a miracle at the age of 23. It was a miracle that no one could break.
The report gave a detailed description of Li Dong's rise.
The richest man, 72 billion, 110 billion, 23 years old, these terms appeared frequently, attracting attention.
Li Dong frowned slightly and didn't say anything. He picked up another newspaper and read it.
The title was similar, and it was equally exaggerated.
"Li Dong's 100 Billion Empire!"
The next few newspapers were similar, such as "Hua Xia's richest man Li Dong," "Business Legend Li Dong," "First Retail Tycoon" …
It was all this type of title. Of course, there were also some reports about Li Dong's acquisition of Carrefour.
The combination of these two events could indeed attract a large number of people's attention.
After all, the newspaper was still a newspaper. In fact, it was considered conservative and not too exaggerated.
Next, Li Dong looked through the Internet again, and his Weibo was about to explode.
There were too many replies similar to "Give Li Dong babies." Li Dong glanced around and hurriedly logged out of Weibo. Tens of thousands of people gave birth to babies for him, and he didn't even know whether it was a boy or a girl. Whoever wanted to give birth could do it themselves.
After reading this, Li Dong exhaled and said, "These media's nose is really sharp. I only learned about this yesterday, and they reported it today as if they had calculated it. If I hadn't listened to the report yesterday, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about it. "
He was just casually sighing, but he did not expect Bai Su to widen her eyes and say, "General Manager Li, is the report true?"
To be honest, although she was Li Dong's secretary, she did not know much about these things.
She knew about last year's situation. So far, the total assets had exceeded 50 billion.
But it had only been half a year, and it had doubled?
She would usually read some of the documents, but because it was not systematic, she did not pay much attention to it. In general, she felt that So far's performance was good, and that Li Dong's dream of a 100 billion corporation could be realized.
However, she did not expect this day to come so soon!
When she saw the report in the morning, she thought it was just gossip in the newspaper, and it was just nonsense. Such situations were not unheard of.
She was now immune to such gossip, so she did not tell Li Dong.
But from Li Dong's tone just now, it was obviously true. If it was fake, Li Dong would not have said that.
Seeing her surprised, Li Dong smiled and said, "There are some real and some fake, but the difference is not big. But no matter how much it is, I am still a pauper."
At this time, Bai Su was speechless. 100 billion corporation!
72 billion in personal wealth!
Hua Xia's richest man!
Was this still her classmate?
Even if she was used to all this, suddenly, this guy in front of her became the richest man. It was as if he was plated with a layer of gold.
Now, looking at Li Dong again, Bai Su felt that this guy was emitting light, like an angel on TV. The circle of light was so bright that she could not see Li Dong's face clearly.
After a long time, when Bai Su woke up, Li Dong had already stood up.
Seeing that she was not stunned, Li Dong said, "Clean up. There will be a board meeting later, and I called you a few times. Are you stupid or what? With your attitude as a secretary, be careful, I will send you to Hsu Shengzhe to be taught a lesson. "
"Ah …"
Bai Su's face turned red, and she said dryly, "I will prepare immediately. Sorry, General Manager Li, I …"
Li Dong smiled and waved his hand. "Go. I am just joking. There are many people who admire me. It is my fault that my handsome appearance made you distracted."
Bai Su's face turned red, and she did not dare to stay any longer. She hurriedly ran out of the office.
