They could not be compared to Yu Dehua and Shen Daoru.
Yang Fugui, the Huang brothers, Zhu Dachang, Chen Kui, Hu Dayi, and Wu Shuping were all very wealthy. They had at least a few million or tens of millions. But their foundations were still weak. Their shares in their companies were not worth more than 100 million, not to mention 600 million in cash!
They did not even have the chance to participate in this bet.
Jiang Wei and Lu Bo were the most popular people in the room. Jingmei Electronics and Four Seasons Department Stores had been listed in Hong Kong one after another. They were the two who had increased their net worth the fastest among all the people in the room. They were not short of 500 million or 600 million in assets. But in terms of cash, they did not have as much as the rest.
Guo Dongyun, Pan Youlin, and Huang Bingxin were managing industries worth 100 billion or even 1 trillion. They had options, decent annual salaries, and dividends. But at best, they were only working emperors!
They relied on working to reach the peak of their lives!
They also could not afford 600 million!
Shou Shan was in charge of Four Seas Restaurant Group, Pinsong was in charge of Di Da Real Estate Group, Chen Lihua was in charge of Fu Hua Group, Su Ming was in charge of Ming He Audio and Video, Fu Biao was in charge of Xiangyang Real Estate Group, Li Aijun was in charge of Aijun Shoes, and Pan Song was in charge of Dongfeng Express. They had a lot of shares in their companies, and they had a lot of cash in their hands. 600 million was nothing to them!
But they had the capital, but it did not mean they were willing to bet!
What? Sure to win?
If they were sure to win, it would not be called a bet!
On the surface, they did not believe Li He's words. Li He was exaggerating!
The people in this room basically accounted for half of the list of the richest people in China. They were all regulars on TV and newspapers. Even if the economy continued to expand and there were more entrepreneurs, how could they not be in the top 500 when they each had a net worth of 5 to 6 billion?
However, when they saw Li He's determined appearance, none of them had any confidence in their hearts! Because up until now, as long as it was Li He's prediction, not a single one had been wrong!
Those who had doubts from the start were all slapped in the face!
To give the simplest example, take the previous World Cups, starting from the 1982 World Cup in Spain, and then to the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
Every time, Yu Dehua would place huge bets all over the world according to Li He's conclusion and made a lot of money. And during the 1994 World Cup in the United States, Trumpet opened the odds in Macau according to the news he heard accidentally from Li He. However, it became the laughing stock of the gambling industry for a while. The defending champions, Brazil and Italy, took the lead with the odds of 1: 6. After all, they were the favorites to win the championship. However, the two clowns, Sweden and Bulgaria, actually followed closely behind with the odds of 1: 6.5. The industry was not calm!
Your actuary was taught by a physical education teacher, right?
Loudspeaker Quan became the laughingstock of the gambling industry, and the entertainment section of the newspaper even gave it an important report. Although Loudspeaker Quan had half a foot in the gambling industry, his main business was still film and television entertainment, so it was hard not to notice him.
The odds were well known. If one did not place a bet on Bulgaria, they would be too embarrassed to go out and greet others. It was no different from picking up the money for free!
Even Loudspeaker Quan himself felt uneasy!
After all, Second Brother Li was not a real god!
Fortunately, the heavens went according to their wishes. In the quarterfinals, Bulgaria defeated the previous World Cup champion, Germany, and entered the top four, becoming the biggest dark horse of the year. Sweden eliminated Romania, led by Hagi, through a penalty shootout, and also entered the top four.
This result made everyone's jaws drop.
Loudspeaker Quan earned a sum of money that could make him wake up from his dreams.
Therefore, when it came to gambling, Second Brother Li was the professional.
No one really had the guts to bet against Li He.
"What? Suddenly mute? " Li He looked at the people below the stage expressionlessly. One by one, they lowered their heads again. The silence was a little scary. He snorted coldly. "There is an idiom that goes: How could there be such a stupid person in the world, to steal a bell and cover their ears to prevent others from hearing.
Later, I found out that this kind of person is everywhere.
You think that you are stable after earning this bit of money, that you can sleep peacefully, and that you can always be ahead of others by a large margin? You think too much, everyone.
This is the story of the tortoise and the hare. Yes, you are right, you are the tortoise … "
In the past 20 years, from mining and other resources to real estate development and other industries that required a lot of connections and capital, and then to IT and the Internet, the era of technology heroes, mining, building houses, using the Internet to open stalls all over the world, the number of billionaires was like a school of carps crossing the river.
"If you stop here and think that you can enjoy your current life, then let me tell you, you are gravely mistaken. This is the best era, and also the worst era.
The logic of the new era is completely different from the traditional society. Values and technology will become the new social norms. This is the inevitable choice of social evolution because the change of this era will give everyone the chance to participate in such a grand social change. It will allow billionaires and nobodies to stand on the starting line again … "
"I said this is the worst era because the knowledge, wealth, and skills of the past are losing their effectiveness. Everything we used to know is now so unfamiliar, and the advantages of the past have become today's burden.
What we can do now is to find our position in the world of science and information technology as soon as possible, and find our direction in the future intelligent world … "
Regardless of whether they could hear him or not, whether he could do it or not, he had to try his best to say it. "Don't be complacent, don't be complacent. Let me be more serious. In another ten or twenty years, the companies in your hands might not even exist.
You think I'm an alarmist?
Then think about it, how many of the bosses who started their businesses with you and became rich overnight are left? The history of private companies is short. Let's not talk about them, let's just talk about the glorious state-owned enterprises. How many of them have closed down?
When you start a business, you cannot avoid the test of the law of market elimination. "
His words finally touched everyone's hearts. Yes, how many of the arrogant companies were left?
In the past few years, the market situation had become more unpredictable. Many people were on a roller coaster, experiencing a great escape, but they had always been under Li He's protection, they just did not realize it.
