Chapter 233 The Richest Man

Chen Jie said: "I have nothing to do with foreign countries."

Li Yuan's implicit meaning was that he regarded her as a foreign lobbyist.

"Then what are you afraid of? Who will do anything to you? Or are you worried that I will end up like Yu Chenguang?"

"I have no idea."

Li Yuan said: "Same thing, if Yu Chenguang was used as a scapegoat abroad, he would be dead now. The fact that he is alive is the advantage of local people. I dare not say absolutely, but at least for most people, domestic If you can't get results, you will only get worse when you go abroad. Which side I stand on will not affect you. If I have a game with them, you will only be a negligible bargaining chip in it."

This sentence can be regarded as telling Chen Jie that even if something happens to him in the future, she will not be implicated.

For Li Yuan, if something happens to him, it can only be a systemic risk.

This risk will not happen suddenly and there is enough time for him to prepare.

"Um."

Chen Jie snorted lightly.

After waiting for half an hour, she waited for Li Yuan to enter the bedroom before leaving.

She realized that she had shown a weak side in front of Li Yuan, which would probably disappoint him.

I am not that capable and can only take care of one-third of an acre of land at home. I feel panicked when I go outside.

Especially the road Li Yuan chose was not easy to walk. She had stepped on all the thorns on that road, leaving wounds that would never heal in her lifetime.

She didn't know whether Li Yuan would succeed in the future.

…

January 8th arrived as scheduled.

Li Yuan came to the company early in the morning and was waiting for Tang Jianjun.

Three or four people from each side came and sat in the conference room, talking about shares.

There must have been a round of bargaining, mainly between Yu Yue and others, while Li Yuan and Tang Jianjun didn't say much.

When either of them speaks, the final word will be made.

In the end, Tang Jianjun spoke first and set the previous price.

20 billion, 20% equity of Qingtian Capital.

This is equivalent to a valuation of 100 billion.

The valuation of the financial industry itself is relatively low. Looking at the entire financial theme of A-shares, the price-to-earnings ratio is basically in the 20s or 30s.

The P/E ratio of other industries can reach over 80.

According to this valuation, Tang Jianjun’s PE of 25 times for Qingtian Capital is within the normal range.

However, it cannot be simply calculated this way. After all, there are many places for Tang Jianjun to invest money, and their name is very valuable. Any stock held by China Securities Finance Corporation will attract countless funds.

This means that the stock is backed by someone and will definitely not collapse in the short term.

As far as the facts are concerned, Tang Jianjun made a big concession this time. If Qingtian Capital's income does not double after the year, this investment will be a loss for the Securities Fund.

Li Yuan invited Tang Jianjun to his office, and Yu Yue would discuss the specific details with the staff at the Securities and Futures Fund.

After entering the office, Tang Jianjun said: "I thought I could come to Jiangzhou to eat fish, but you didn't even let me smell the fishy smell."

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you don't weave cloth and build a net, how can you catch big fish?"

"Everyone else brings the fish to my mouth, but you have to let me make the net myself. What if I can't catch the fish?"

"Hey, that means you have poor taste and it has nothing to do with me."

Li Yuan doesn't know how much money he can make next year. Anyway, if he gets the certificate money first, it will be much easier to do whatever he does later.

The 20 billion will go directly into the group's account, and he will no longer be short of money after the year.

Tang Jianjun took a deep breath and said: "Since you have made things big, show some strength, otherwise I will have no reason to speak for you. Since you entered the financial industry, you have been subverting the traditional model of this industry. Now if you want to subvert to other places, if the strength you show is too average, no one will take you seriously."

"I got it."

"Then tell me, what else do you want? In case you suddenly say something like "Don't mess with the old man" again, we can't afford to take the blame..."

Li Yuan smiled awkwardly, "Nothing else. Anyway, the bank license cannot be approved, and I am not short of money. As long as my personal safety is not a problem, I will have more time to work after the year."

"No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents when it comes to safety. But as long as you don't run around and go to some chaotic places, it's basically unlikely that anything will happen."

They arranged for people to protect Li Yuan 24 hours a day, but the manpower was limited after all.

Once Li Yuan goes to a bar or a place that cannot be controlled, there is no guarantee that he can be protected in time.

"I'm not interested in those places either. By the way, do you have any contact with Qinghua? I want to collaborate on a project with them."

Tang Jianjun asked in surprise: "Cooperating with them on a project? Your Qingtian Group is not involved in related majors yet? If it is a financial major, there are better choices."

Li Yuan shook his head, "No, it was a project they started in June last year. I am very interested in it and want to provide them with financial support."

"What subject?"

"Steady-state microbunch accelerator light source."

This topic is directly related to the lithography factory that will become a hot topic a few years later.

Li Yuan remembered that the matter became widely known in 2023, but at that time there was only theoretical support. The reason was that the research progress was too slow, and manpower and funds were the biggest problems.

It wasn't until Li Yuan was reborn that it was verified that it was a feasible solution.

Tang Jianjun had never heard of this topic at all, so he asked: "How much money are you prepared to invest?"

He doesn't mind sponsoring the university. After all, there is a high probability that there won't be much funding for this kind of subject that he has never heard of.

With a big business like Li Yuan willing to pay, the school must be willing to cooperate.

"I will use tens of millions to test the waters first. As long as the progress is satisfactory, I will invest more in the future."

Tang Jianjun nodded, "Just a few tens of millions will be enough. I'll find out the news for you, and then you can talk among yourself."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Haha, I have never doubted your vision. If you really research something good, remember to bring us a copy."

"It's easy to talk about."

Li Yuan agreed with a smile on the surface.

Anyway, there are no results now. Maybe even if I have capital injection, I won't be able to speed up the progress. The longer the time goes, the less meaningful this product will be.

The so-called photolithography factory is to subvert the concept of traditional photolithography machines.

Currently, the most advanced EUV lithography machines are very demanding on light sources and produce pure extreme ultraviolet light sources in extremely short channels.

The concept of the photolithography factory is to create various light sources in a long acceleration channel, and finally guide the various light sources to where they should go through classification.

To put it simply, the photolithography machine requires fine processing, which requires the product to be very standard and to maximize the output of high-end chips with a small number of defects.

The photolithography factory is a rough processing company. After processing, the products are of various standards. Finally, after screening and classification, the best batch is selected. Even if that batch is high-end chips, there are also a lot of medium and low-end chips. End-process chips are used as additional products.

Moreover, after the lithography plant is built, it cannot be moved and does not have a commercial model.

Even the cost of producing chips is much higher.

But after all, it was a short-term opportunity to produce high-end chips, and Li Yuan wanted to spend some money to try it.

After all, there are not many industrial crown jewels in the world. If he doesn't fight for chips, how can he fight for lighter gaskets and milk cartons?

The ultimate goal of playing finance is capital operation, and there must be sufficient strength behind capital operation to support it.

It doesn’t matter whether something is useful or not. As long as it can be used, as long as it is truly effective, it is a good thing.

At noon, we had dinner in the restaurant and the contract was signed.

There will be no results in the short term on tax matters, especially since the Chinese New Year is approaching and it is not suitable for a big fight.

Tang Jianjun also told him to wait patiently for two or three months, and he would be notified as soon as the results were available.

Li Yuan definitely has this kind of patience.

He didn't dare to expect that if he said a word, someone would jerk off those people immediately. He didn't have the strength, or no one in the world had the strength.

Not one person, but a group of people.

I don’t know how long the investigation will take.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Forbes' domestic rich list was updated.

It was originally supposed to come out in the morning, but some data were temporarily changed and the official release was delayed until 3 p.m.

After the list was released, the Internet exploded.

Because Li Yuan turned out to be the richest man in the country, with a net worth of 290 billion.

This is beyond anyone's imagination.

It’s too outrageous!

Even Li Yuan's fans feel that this list has no credibility.

Do they still know how much Li Yuan is worth? Since Li Yuan posted the video, many people have followed him.

Li Yuan earned a net worth of 290 billion in half a year? What about fools?

Questions have been raised online about the list.

Forbes had to publish their algorithm later.

First, the company under Li Yuan's name was announced.

It is controlled by Qingtian Group, 80% of Qingtian Capital, 100% of Bixin, 100% of Jiutian Media, 13% of CATL, 15% of Mindray Pharmaceuticals, and 40% of MiHoYo

It is recognized that Qingtian Capital has just accepted the valuation of China Securities Finance Corporation.

In other words, Li Yuan is still worth 80 billion with Qingtian Capital.

Jiutian Media's net profit last year was 500 million, so there is no problem in giving it a valuation of 10 billion.

13% of Ningde's shares are worth 6.5 billion, and Mindray's 15% share is worth 13 billion.

MiHoYo and Bi Xin calculated a total of two billion.

It can only be counted as so much.

but……

Forbes cleverly swapped the 20 billion given by the certificate fund with the money Li Yuan invested in the four companies, and regarded the remaining 20 billion as pure profit.

This means that Li Yuan sold Qingtian Capital's stocks and invested in other companies, but the previous profits remained unchanged.

Profits can be leveraged.

The money from selling stocks is cash, not considered profit, and cannot be leveraged.

With a profit of 20 billion, Li Yuan's worth has risen and he has become the richest man by simply finding an institution to give him a valuation.

Ranked second is Boss Xu.

His net worth is only 2 billion lower than Li Yuan.

From the beginning, everyone doubted it, but after seeing the algorithm, everyone inexplicably believed it.

Because of Qingtian Group's 20 billion profit, the institution only provided a leverage of eight times. Compared with others, which one did not have a leverage of 20, 30 or even 40 to 50 times?

It's just that their company is listed, but Li Yuan's company is not.

The data suddenly made sense.

The title of richest man is still useful to Li Yuan.

At least one ad was given to Bixin for free, and the number of downloads increased significantly.

However, the payment license is currently not available, and Li Yuan does not want to engage in financial operations. He will wait until he gets the license in March.

The current financial level of operations is to make wedding clothes for others.

Because Bixin can currently only connect to other payment channels.

Almost an hour after the news was announced, Jiang Yiling called.

After Li Yuan got through, he heard Jiang Yiling say: "I really can't help you hide it now. Your parents already know about you and are about to call you."

"Tell your parents, I'll go back tomorrow and don't make any calls."

"What should we do at home? The door is blocked now. I never knew you had so many relatives and friends..."

Li Yuan: "..."

"Don't talk about you, even I don't know any relatives."

Li Yuan's family situation is quite special. His grandfather is the only child of his father. It was still very rare at that time, so he didn't have any uncles or relatives.

Mom's side is even worse. They are a bunch of bad gamblers. After grandma and grandpa died, they rarely interacted with her, otherwise he wouldn't have recognized Qin Si when he saw her.

He hadn't even heard much from his relatives over there, such as Qin Si's parents.

What good can happen to a bad gambler?

It is possible that everything is down now.

"Husband...I miss you..."

"I take it you don't want to stay at home anymore?"

"No, no, I really miss you. You must have been very hard during this period. How about I go and reward you..."

Li Yuan thought about it for a moment, and found that the family was indeed very troubled these days.

Jiang Yiling just wanted his parents, not a lot of unfamiliar relatives.

"Then I'll ask the driver to pick you up... let's do this, and pick up my parents as well."

"What about the grandparents?"

"It's okay, it's okay. My grandparents are old. Even if I take advantage of those people, it will be in vain. No one dares to ask for an explanation."

Generally, gifts are given to people who are in charge of the family. What can you do if you give them to old men and old ladies?

It can only be out of pure filial piety.

Either he is not filial, or he is filial. It is a matter of course that Li Yuan is not afraid at all.

"Then I'll tell my parents and go to my grandpa's place for dinner tonight."

"OK."

After Li Yuan hung up the phone, he started making arrangements.

First of all, you need to prepare some daily necessities, such as sheets and quilts, because you don’t have any extra where you live.

The next step is to wrap up some things.

For example, if Chen Jie suddenly ran in, his parents would kill him.

He originally wanted to go to Shu Yanlin's place tonight...because Shu Yanlin had just finished her exam and was officially on holiday.

It's still about three hours before my parents arrive.

Go meet the deadline!
