"The richest man in the world. Oh my god, Boss Chen, are you planning something big?"
"Let's talk about this later. I still have to take graduation photos with my classmates."
Chen Yu didn't accept any more interviews. He started to take graduation photos with his classmates.
Of course, after taking the photos, the classmates also invited each other to take friendly photos as a souvenir.
Undoubtedly, Chen Yu was the focus of attention again.
Chen Yu didn't refuse. He didn't refuse anyone.
Whether he knew them or not, as long as they made a request, Chen Yu was happy to take photos with them.
Although he didn't attend many classes during his four years in university, he was still friends with them.
"Chen Yu, if I can't make it in the future, I'll go to Huanyu Technologies."
"Damn, what do you mean Huanyu Technologies can't make it in the future? Do you think Huanyu Technologies is a small workshop? If you want to join us, hurry up. You won't have a chance in the future. "
"Hahaha, yes, yes, yes. I'm just worried that I'm not good enough."
"I said I'd tell them my name. It'll be fine."
"Okay, Chen Yu, we'll rely on you in the future."
Everyone chatted and laughed. A day passed just like that.
The 2002 Shenzhen University students, including Chen Yu, officially graduated today.
Some people in the future commented.
Among the Shenzhen University alumni, the 2002 students were the most terrifying.
Aside from the appearance of a big boss like Chen Yu, the other students also performed outstandingly in various fields.
Especially in the field of making money, the 2002 Shenzhen University students were dozens of times better than other universities.
Of course, this was a story for later.
At this time, the group of media outlets had exposed their small goal of interviewing Chen Yu.
In fact, the 2002 Shenzhen University graduation wasn't a big deal. The media didn't pay much attention to it.
However, Chen Yu was involved, so it was a different story.
Of course, if it was just Chen Yu, it wouldn't attract much attention.
However, Chen Yu's small goal instantly became the hottest topic of the day.
"I'll set a small goal. First, I'll become the richest man in the world … Damn, this pretentiousness is so high class."
"Actually, seeing Chen Yu officially graduate today, I feel like I've lived my life in vain. Looking at his little goal, I feel like killing myself."
"As expected, comparisons are odious. I just want to ask, Chen Yu, why are you so outstanding?"
Countless spectators sighed with emotion.
At the same time, some industry insiders did some calculations.
Chen Yu wasn't trying to act cool.
If one were to consider the Huanyu Technologies that Chen Yu founded, Chen Yu might really be the richest person in the world.
No, no, no. It wasn't just a possibility. It was a certainty.
The richest man in the world was Bill. His wealth was over 60 billion USD.
Although Huanyu Technology wasn't listed yet, any of his subsidiaries had a market value of more than 60 billion USD.
Take WeChat Moments as an example. When it was first funded, it was valued at 57 billion USD.
Until now, WeChat Moments was valued at more than 100 billion USD.
Among them, Chen Yu held 70% of the shares.
Okay.
Just based on WeChat Moments' shares, Chen Yu's wealth surpassed Bill's.
This wasn't to say that WeChat Moments was bigger than Microsoft.
It was just that Chen Yu owned too many shares in WeChat Moments.
With 70% of the company's shares, Chen Yu had absolute control over the company.
Generally speaking, in the capital market, it was difficult for him to own such a high percentage of shares.
The higher his share, the more it would affect the entry of capital.
However, Chen Yu was such a special case.
Basically, Chen Yu's shares were no less than 50% of the companies that he controlled. Some of them were even much more than this.
"Okay, now I'm not jealous of Chen Yu. Anyway, I can't hope to catch up to Chen Yu in this lifetime."
"Well, that's true. But I feel that Chen Yu's small goal makes me happy."
"Why?"
"Think about it. In the past, when it came to the richest man in the world, it was either Bill or foreigners. China never had anything to do with it. Now, Bill doesn't seem to have much money compared to Chen Yu. "
"666 …"
Although some of Ah Q's thoughts were similar, many people thought so.
Everyone was an ordinary person. How could they surpass Chen Yu's ability?
Even if they weren't ordinary people, those rich second-generation and first-generation rich people were still inferior to Chen Yu.
Was there still a need to compare?
Moreover, the above only accounted for a portion of Chen Yu's wealth.
If one were to calculate, if one were to include Huanyu Video, Weibo, Huanyu Technologies, Beijing Oriental, Zhongdian International, Huanyu Computers, and Super Pear, which had a terrifying valuation now and would become even more terrifying in the future … How much was Chen Yu worth?
At this moment, perhaps even Chen Yu didn't know.
It didn't matter if he didn't know.
What was certain now was that Chen Yu wasn't bluffing when he said that he would become the richest man in the world first.
However, compared to the ordinary onlookers, some people had already started to take action.
For example, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Although it was easy for Chen Yu to become the richest man in the world, he wasn't the richest man in the world yet.
Even if everyone thought that Chen Yu was.
But as long as Chen Yu's companies weren't listed, he wouldn't become the richest man in the world.
Because his previous companies couldn't be converted into cash, he could only have a valuation.
No matter how high the valuation was, it was just a valuation.
Only when it was listed could he convert the valuation and become the richest man in the world.
Of course.
Some people also said that he could use another method, such as selling some shares without being listed.
Although this was also possible.
But in terms of the global financial system, there weren't many people who could afford to buy a series of subsidiaries of Huanyu Technologies.
Only by being listed could the benefits of the shares be maximized.
Chen Yu's small goal wasn't a joke.
Since he said it, he had already prepared a plan to be listed.
Since he was going to be listed, where should he choose to be listed? This was a problem.
Unexpectedly, the first to enter the market was the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
The Hong Kong Stock Exchange was the trading center in Hong Kong.
If you want to be listed in Hong Kong, you can go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
But other than the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the most tempted was the New York Stock Exchange.
That was the New York Stock Exchange in the US.
This was the world's largest trading center.
The reason why the New York Stock Exchange was so tempted was because …
Huanyu Technologies was in the Internet business. Even now, the Internet business was still a part of its business.
If Huanyu Technologies chose to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or the Shanghai Stock Exchange, its market value would be underestimated.
This was because both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange did not know much about the Internet.
It was still fine in 2006.
As early as 2000, a group of Internet companies couldn't even get a loan from a bank.
As for the reason …
The banks felt that the Internet companies were virtual enterprises. They didn't have any fixed assets and wouldn't give them loans.
Even now, everyone knew more about the Internet companies, but they felt that they didn't have enough fixed assets.
It was fine to be listed.
But once the market value was underestimated, it would not be a matter of a few hundred million or a few billion. It would be a matter of tens of billions or hundreds of billions.
This was why Sina, Shengda, NetEase … these Internet companies chose to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
However, when many people thought that Chen Yu would choose to list on the New York Stock Exchange, a distinguished guest arrived at Chen Yu's office.
