Feng Yu flew to Shanghai today to receive a guest. This guest can be considered an acquaintance, and his companions are Zong Qingxian and Hu Lian.
Steve Forbes, the head of < Forbes > magazine, had contacted Feng Yu to interview Feng Yu again. Feng Yu only told Steve that he is not free, and Steve told him that he can come to Hua Xia for an interview. It will not take up too much of Feng Yu's time.
The reason is simple. Based on < Forbes >'s research, Feng Yu's net worth might be more than Bill Gates.
But the two companies controlled by Feng Yu, Wind and Rain Holdings and Taihua Holdings, are not listed. Even the majority of Feng Yu's subsidiaries and companies are not listed. That's why Steve felt there might be some problems with the valuation and wanted to interview Feng Yu personally.
It will be better if Steve can get the real figures from Feng Yu. If Feng Yu's net worth is really more than Bill Gates, then this news will increase < Forbes > magazine's sales.
Bill Gates had been the World's Richest Man since 1994, and he had been the banker for so long. Once someone else replaced him, it will attract a lot of attention and curiosity.
It's like sports. For example, Hua Xia's table tennis champion is always the champion, and no one is interested in watching it. But one day, if Hua Xia loses and only gets second place, then the champion will receive a lot of attention, and this news will attract a lot of attention.
< Forbes > had portrayed Bill Gates as a money-making hero, and when this hero is defeated, it will be a gimmick.
Furthermore, if this person is Feng Yu, then the age of the World's Richest Man will change again.
… …
"Feng, nice to meet you." Steve saw Feng Yu and extended his hand for a handshake.
"You already know Hu Lian. This is Zong Qingxian. I believe you should know him, right?" Feng Yu said with a smile.
Hu Lian was sent by Feng Yu to pick him up at the airport. This Englishman, who was half familiar with Hua Xia, must have chatted with Steve along the way. After all, Steve used to be Hu Lian's idol.
Now, Hu Lian's idol was Feng Yu.
"Can I call you Zong? Hello, Zhong. I had wanted to interview you for a long time. Can I interview you after I interview Feng Yu? It won't take long. "Steve immediately grabbed Zong Qingxian's hand enthusiastically again.
This person is one of Feng Yu's two key subordinates, Zong Qingxian, who manages Taihua Holdings. He is also one of the giants in the world's beverage industry, and Steve knows about him.
Hu Lian translated for Zong Qingxian, and Zong Qingxian laughed. "Why don't we meet tomorrow? According to our Hua Xia customs, when we have friends visiting from afar, we need to hold a banquet to welcome them. "
Steve immediately nodded. "Sure. Let's do as the host says."
As long as Zong Qingxian agrees, it's fine. Tomorrow is not the next year, and Steve is not in a hurry. He can arrange Feng Yu's interview script tonight, and he does not need to ask Zong Qingxian the same questions tomorrow.
Hu Lian is the editor-in-chief of one of Hua Xia's top magazines and is also a famous media personality in Hua Xia. But here, he can only serve tea and act as a translator.
But Steve is also happy to be able to participate in this conversation between the three of them. Also, he can learn from Steve Forbes on how to interview.
Steve took a sip of his coffee. "Hmm … tastes good. Feng, you still prefer tea. If possible, I would like to start the interview now. "
Feng Yu nodded. "Sure."
If I don't interview him now, I can't chat with you. Feng Yu and Steve Forbes are only acquaintances and not friends. What's there to chat about?
"Feng, based on what we know, you only have two direct investments. One is Wind and Rain Holdings, and the other is Taihua Holdings. Am I right?" Steve asked.
But he was not used to interviewing Feng Yu. He was not allowed to use a recording pen, pen, and notebook. This was a test of his memory. Luckily, Steve had memorized some of the questions and did not miss anything.
"That's right." Feng Yu nodded. This is not a secret, and many people know about it.
"So, do you have absolute control over these two holding companies?" Steve asked again.
In his heart, Steve felt he should be the controlling shareholder, but he still needs to get an answer from Feng Yu.
"Yes. I own more than two-thirds of the shares."
Steve is excited. Feng Yu is right. But he did not ask Feng Yu how many shares Feng Yu owns. Even if he asked, Feng Yu will not tell him and might even chase him out immediately. There were rumors that Feng Yu has a bad temper, and his temper is only second to Europe's richest man, Kirilenko.
"We noticed that Hua Xia owns a few Nasdaq listed internet companies, and one of their shareholders is a company called Taihua Consulting. Is it a subsidiary of Taihua Holdings?"
Taihua Holdings is not a listed company, and it's not easy to get insider information. Although the operations carried out by Feng Yu were not very complicated, he still had to bypass a few companies.
As for Wind and Rain Holdings, it is more complicated. Steve still does not know how many subsidiaries Wind and Rain Holdings and Taihua Holdings have.
"Yes. Taihua Consulting is a subsidiary of Taihua Holdings. This is an investment company and had made many risky investments, but many of them failed. Just look at those few internet companies. Their share prices had fallen below their IPO prices, and I had lost a lot of money. "
Although Feng Yu said this, he is overjoyed in his heart. It would be best if the share prices fell below their IPO prices. He had already planned to delist those few companies, and this is equivalent to making a fortune.
A stone was sold for 50,000 yuan, and then used the 50,000 yuan to invest and earn money. After two years, that stone would only be worth 30,000 yuan, and then he would spend money to buy it back, and the 50,000 yuan in his hands would become 80,000 yuan. This is equivalent to using the stone as a mortgage and getting 50,000 RMB for free. It's a good deal!
Steve calculated the market value of those few internet companies and increased the value of Taihua Holdings by a little. This means Feng Yu's assets had increased by a little.
"Feng, is Wind & Rain Consulting the one with the most funds under management?"
"Yes. This is also an investment company, and it is used to invest in financial products."
"Then this company's assets are more than 50 billion USD?" Steve Forbes stared into Feng Yu's eyes and asked the question he wanted to ask the most today!
