"You're leaving tomorrow. Why don't you come back to my house today?" Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [PS: I saw someone complaining about the word count of Christopher Galvin, so I'll change it to Galvin. It'll take me twice as long to type such an unscientific name!] Natasha said with her head lowered as she fell into a deep sleep.
This was the first time Natasha invited Boss Jia to go home. As for why she wanted to go home, it was all up to her imagination!
"No, I'm not in a hurry to go home. Come with me to the winery!" Boss Jia took Natasha to the winery of the Best Club. Although it was called a winery, it was actually a corridor filled with wine.
This was also the most unique part of this private club. There was a corridor that was more than 50 meters long from the intersection to the private room. On both sides of the corridor were glass display cabinets, and inside the cabinets were all kinds of wine bottles.
According to the waiter's introduction, there were a total of 16,384 different kinds of wine in the cabinets in the corridor. The waiter proudly said that all the world's best wines were in the cabinets.
As expected, this piqued Boss Jia's interest. Boss Jia's eyes began to scan the wine cabinets. Soon, he found bottles of wine from Hua Xia. However, there weren't many kinds of wine. There were only five kinds of white spirits: Maotai, Wuliangye, Site, Jian Nan Chun, and Erguotou. He didn't see any other wines at all.
There were more than 16,000 kinds of wine in the world, but there were only four kinds of Hua Xia here. This made Boss Jia feel very complicated.
"How are the sales of these Hua Xia wines?" Boss Jia asked curiously.
"They're not selling very well. We United States people can't adapt to the taste of white spirits." The waiter saw that Boss Jia was from Hua Xia, so he said very cautiously and cleverly.
Well, it wasn't because the liquor wasn't good. It was because the United States people weren't used to it. It sounded too nice, and Boss Jia's anger dissipated a lot. That's right, it was these United States people who didn't have the fortune to enjoy Hua Xia's liquor!
"How about this? Give me two bottles of Maotai. Today, I'll treat Mr. Galvin to Hua Xia's fine wine!" Boss Jia had an idea in his mind, and there was a good show of apologizing with Maotai. However, what made Boss Jia a little speechless was that the Flying Maotai here actually cost 200 USD per bottle. One must know that the Flying Maotai in China cost 158 RMB per bottle.
"Didn't you say that Flying Maotai is cheaper overseas than in China? Why is it so expensive here? " At that time, Boss Jia came over and muttered something. Then, when the two of them came out of the private club, they heard two men in suits on the side of the road talking loudly.
"Have you heard? Just this morning, JP Morgan Chase is no longer the number one company on the Nasdaq! "One of them said.
"Really? Microsoft finally overtook JP Morgan Chase and became the number one company? " The other man also exclaimed. Then, the two of them started to talk about Microsoft's amazing performance.
"Bill Gates is finally crowned as the Emperor?" Boss Jia heard the news and sighed.
He had almost forgotten that Bill Gates officially ascended to the throne in 1995. From 1995 until 2007, the position of the richest man in the world had always been firmly under Bill Gates's buttocks for a total of 12 years.
"Guys, do you know how much money Bill Gates has now?" Boss Jia suddenly moved closer to the two men and asked with a smile.
"…" The two men were dumbfounded at first. After glancing at each other, they shook their heads and said, "Sorry, sir. We don't know how much money Bill Gates has now. We have to wait for the next issue of Forbes magazine to announce it. We can't know Mr. Bill Gates' wealth only by relying on some data on the stock market!"
"Is that so?" Boss Jia said with some regret.
"But according to Microsoft's current market value, Bill Gates's wealth in Microsoft alone is worth 12 billion USD!" The other man said. This meant that Bill Gates's wealth was at least 12 billion USD.
"How much wealth do you have?" Natasha suddenly asked curiously.
"How much do I have?" Boss Jia began to mumble. But Boss Jia really did not know how much wealth he had. If Boss Jia's current cash flow was included, then Boss Jia had more than 200 million USD in foreign exchange. If it was RMB, then G&S Bank's account had more than 60 billion USD, which added up to almost 1 billion USD in cash.
But obviously, it was not just cash. After all, Boss Jia had a lot of real assets, brand assets, and cultural assets.
But if they were to be calculated together, then there was no way, because it was impossible to calculate all of them.
The best way to calculate these assets was to list the entire Daqian Group, and then calculate the assets based on the market value. But Boss Jia did not lack money, only a fool would list the company.
So Boss Jia could not calculate his real wealth now. But it did not matter, anyway, he could not surpass Microsoft and become the world's richest man.
"Oh yes, do you know which company is the company with the highest market value in Hua Xia?" Boss Jia suddenly asked.
"How would I know this …" Natasha shook her head.
"Actually, I don't know either!" Boss Jia said with a smile. Natasha was so angry that she rolled her eyes.
"But I know which company is the company with the highest market value in Hua Xia in 2020!" Boss Jia added in his heart. If it were not for this incident, he would have forgotten that Hua Xia was the super blue-chip company with the strongest stock price in the 21st century.

"How is it? Did we reach the target this year?" In a dilapidated warehouse in New York, there were a few middle-aged Hua Xia men. They were looking at a pile of documents and calculating with a frown.
"Not good, we are still short of the target of 72 tons. Looks like we can't reach the target today again!" One of them sighed and threw the calculator in his hand aside.
"Oh no, looks like this year's bonus is gone again!" The other Hua Xia men sighed in unison.
Just then, the phone in the warehouse office rang. It was a phone marked with the word "order" in Chinese. The expressions of several people suddenly became happy. Then, one of them picked up the phone as fast as he could and said in fluent English, "Hello, Thereis …"
Cough, cough. Let's just translate it into Chinese, "Hello, this is the Maotai sales center in the United States. May I know where you are and how many goods do you need?"
"What … you need a lot, so you want to take a look at our warehouse!"
"Okay, the address of our warehouse is …"
After giving the address, the phone was hung up. The man who answered the phone immediately said to his companions excitedly, "Good news. That man said he needs a lot of Maotai, so he wants to take a look at our warehouse. At the same time, he wants to confirm if it is the real Maotai!"
"That's great!" When the others heard the news, they all beamed with joy.
