"Feng, can I understand that you had made more than 15 billion USD from the Asian Financial Crisis?" Steve asked.
Feng Yu nodded. "You can understand it this way."
"So, you are working with Quantum Fund and started this financial crisis together?" Steve's words are sharp.
"On the contrary, I am against Quantum Fund. My foundation had joined forces with a few famous Hong Kong funds to fight against Quantum Fund. This is why Soros did not cause more damage to Southeast Asia's economy. This is not a secret. As for how I made my profits, this is a trade secret. "
Steve does not believe what Feng Yu said. For Feng Yu to make such high profits, it must be because he bought futures. Regardless if it is forex or stock index, he must be shorting them. He must be in cahoots with Soros.
But Steve had received information that proves what Feng Yu said. Feng Yu had fought against Soros publicly before. Steve does not want to investigate further. < Forbes > only talks about business and does not talk about other issues. From < Forbes >'s point of view, Soros is also a success!
"Feng, you own about 15% of Microsoft's shares, right?" Steve changed the topic.
"I think it's less than 15% now. Last year, I got less than 15% of the shares." Feng Yu looks at Bill Gates. Last year, Microsoft had awarded some shares to the top management, and Bill Gates got less than all the directors.
"Feng, this decision is made by the board of directors. After all, you had only appeared in Microsoft for a short period last year and did not attend many board meetings. Everyone is unhappy about this. Although the shares awarded to the directors are lesser, as a shareholder, you did not lose a single share. "
"It's fine. I can understand. I am still a director of Microsoft, right?" Paul Allen was the one who suggested this, and the rest of the directors supported it. Bill Gates did not stand on Feng Yu's side, but he insisted on retaining Feng Yu's position as Microsoft's Asia Deputy CEO. Feng Yu is satisfied with this.
"Of course, your position will not change." Bill Gates heaved a sigh of relief. He had told Feng Yu that he will reward him handsomely, and he was worried that Feng Yu will fall out with him. If that happens, Microsoft's expansion in Hua Xia will be slowed down. This year, Microsoft will continue to introduce new versions of its operating system, and Hua Xia market must not be abandoned.
"Feng, even if the proportion of shares had decreased, the total number of shares had increased, right? Microsoft's share value had increased significantly, and your shares should be worth more than 10 billion USD. "
"Is that so? It increased again. It seems like my investment was a wise one. "Feng Yu pretended to be surprised, but in fact, he was not surprised at all.
"Oh, from what I know, you have shares in Hua Xia's biggest PC manufacturer, Lenovo, right? Can you tell me how much it is? "
"Not much. It is not as good as Microsoft."
"My conservative estimate is 300 million USD. Do you mind?" Lenovo had become the market leader in Hua Xia, and Steve estimated Lenovo's potential to be more than 1 billion USD.
Conservative estimate is 300 million USD? Feng Yu told Feng Yu that Feng Yu was too conservative. If it was Feng Yu, he will not sell Lenovo's shares even if someone offered him 1 billion USD. The market, brand, and technologies were all undervalued. But why is 300 million USD is about the same as the loan he got with Lenovo's shares?
"I don't mind."
"Wind and rain brand is one of the fastest growing brands in the consumer electronics market these few years. You are the controlling shareholder, right? Can you tell me how wide the Wind and rain brand is? "Steve also has a Wind and rain Super VCD player at home.
"Humidifiers, bladeless fans, VCD players, DVD players, and mobile phones are our main products. We also have patents for some related technologies, and we have collected high licensing fees. In the future, we will also be entering the TV and PC market."
"We know that Wind & Rain Electronics, Wind and rain Electronics, Japan's Aiwa, and Hua Xia's Aiwa have extensive cooperation. What is the relationship between these companies?"
"Cooperation. We also have a cooperation relationship with Philips in terms of technology and sales." Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. Steve Forbes does not know that he is also the major shareholder of Aiwa. Then let's not talk about it.
"From what we know, you also have shares in Hua Xia's biggest automobile manufacturer. Are you the major shareholder of that company?" Steve looked at Feng Yu and asked.
"A little. But my father also has shares in that company. The General Manager of that company is someone else, and I am not involved in the management. "Feng Yu wanted to know how much Steve Forbes knew about him.
Hua Xia is not the US, and their information is not public. Furthermore, these companies are not listed companies, and the information they have is limited. Most of the information they have are guesses.
Steve did not ask any more questions after Feng Yu said this. He starts to ask about Wahaha.
"Wahaha Group, Hua Xia's and Asia's biggest beverage manufacturer. You also have shares in this company, right?"
"That's right. I also have some shares in this company. But I am only a consultant in this company and do not get any salary." Feng Yu pretended to be a minor shareholder.
"Tai Hua Supermarket Group, Hua Xia's and Asia's biggest retail company. You also have shares in this company, right?"
"A little. But until now, I have not made any profits from this company. I don't know when I can make profits."
"What about that pharmaceutical company? That company's nutritional supplements are selling well. Currently, they are one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in Hua Xia, right? "
"It is quite big, and it is a merger of many small pharmaceutical companies. Currently, it is still developing. Oh, we have a new drug, Bigman. It had entered many hospitals in the US last year."
Bigman is Viagra's English name, and Feng Yu gave it to Viagra. Bing City Pharmaceutical Enterprise's other products are nothing special. Only this drug is unique. Also, Pfizer's patent application for Viagra was rejected. Pfizer needs to adjust the formula before they can be listed again. But the influence of this drug will not be as great as in Feng Yu's previous life.
Bill Gates frowned. Feng Yu had invested in so many companies, and all of them are successful. Hua Xia is the biggest company in Asia. How did he do it?
In Bill Gates's impression, Feng Yu is someone with good investment foresight. But now, it seems that Feng Yu is not someone with good investment foresight. He can be considered an investment genius.
Every investment had brought Feng Yu high profits. Also, all these companies have one thing in common. All of them are not listed.
Once those companies are listed, their assets will increase by two or three times!
Steve starts to calculate for Feng Yu. "Hong Kong's Wind & Rain Consulting's profits are 15 billion USD, Microsoft's shares are worth 10 billion USD, Lenovo's shares are worth 300 million USD, Wind & Rain Electronics and Wind and Rain Home Appliances are worth 1 billion USD, Bing City Machinery Company's shares are worth 500 million USD, Wahaha's shares are worth 500 million USD, Tai Hua Supermarket Group's shares are worth 300 million USD, Bing City Pharmaceutical's shares are worth 200 million USD, and the rest of the investments, such as the Empire State Building, are worth 200 million USD. I'll rank you second on the Forbes World's Richest List, with a net worth of 28 billion USD. Is that okay? "
Sometimes, the other party will be unhappy if you overestimate someone's wealth. But sometimes, the other party will also be unhappy if you underestimate someone's wealth. Many tycoons treat this ranking as an honor.
Steve Forbes must seek Feng Yu's opinion, especially when most of the questions are based on guessing.
Feng Yu laughed in his heart. You still have not calculated my investments in Russia, Japan, and some of my investments in stocks. If you know about my investments, I am afraid I will not be the number one richest man in the world!
Second place is also not bad. He can hide his wealth for the time being, and it will be enough to promote his company. Two years later, his true wealth would be completely exposed, and it would definitely shock everyone's eyeballs!
