Chapter 716 716. Rapidly increasing wealth
Since HuRun published the first issue of HuRun Rich List in China in 1999, the magazine's annual rich list has always attracted much attention.
On November 19, the 2007 HuRun Rich List was finally released, including the list data of wealth list, charity list, art list, brand list, etc.
The most eye-catching one is HuRun's wealth list.
This list records the 100 richest people in China in the new year, and the public always pays more attention to things related to money.
As soon as this year's list was announced, it caused an uproar because the richest person on the list was changed.
Yang Hui, who was not ranked among the top 100 richest people last year, has seen her net worth soar like a rocket this year thanks to the listing of her company in April.
Originally, her net worth was only 1.2 billion last year, but on this year's list, her net worth has exceeded 130 billion Chinese yuan!
Yang Hui, whose net worth has increased a hundredfold, has also overwhelmed last year's richest man Zhang Yin and become the new richest person in China.
However, even if Yang Hui's net worth increased by a hundred times and became the new richest man, it did not overshadow the brilliance of another person, that person is Nie Wei.
The name in the third place on this list is Nie Wei, and his net worth is also amazing. He was worth 10 billion last year, and this year his net worth has reached 72 billion Chinese yuan.
It can be said that on the entire list, except for Yang Hui, Nie Wei's wealth increase is the most amazing.
And the reasons for the sudden increase in the rankings of the two are almost the same. Yang Hui's net worth increased dramatically because of the listing of his real estate company and the soaring stock value, and Nie Wei is the same. Hurun gave a detailed wealth analysis of Nie Wei, pointing out that the main reason for Nie Wei's sharp increase in wealth this year is because of the soaring stock of Apple.
"Apple released its latest product this year, the iPhone. This is a cross-era product. Its launch has overturned the traditional mobile phone market and brought the entire mobile phone market into the smart era, just like MP3 replaced CD players and color TV replaced black and white TV."
"Because of this product, Apple's stock has also risen several times in a short period of time, and its value has skyrocketed. The biggest beneficiaries are naturally Apple's shareholders. In the latest list of Apple's major shareholders, we saw a familiar name, that is, Mr. Nie Wei."
"He holds more than 50 million shares of Apple, accounting for 1% of Apple's shares, ranking ninth among Apple's thousands of shareholders, and these shares have also brought Nie Wei a net worth of more than 20 billion Chinese yuan."
In addition, Nie Wei also owns shares in Huayi, Fanxing Blog, Thunder Special Effects, iFlytek and other companies. In addition, Zhou Aiguo's 15% stake in the real estate company has also helped Nie Wei's net worth increase.
Under Hurun's China Rich List, a detailed analysis of the top ten rich people was also conducted, and even helped them divide their personal wealth potential.
The most eye-catching of them are naturally the two people born in the 1980s who are ranked in the top three of the list.
In the past, people born in the 1970s and 1980s were considered promising young people on this rich list, and only those born in the 1960s were the main force of this list. But this year is different. Among the top three, two people were born in the 1980s, which surprised many economists.
In terms of personal wealth, Yang Hui is undoubtedly the richest, and the lead is very large, but in the analysis of economists from Hurun, Yang Hui's personal wealth potential is not the highest.
Because Yang Hui's business is relatively single, his wealth mainly comes from real estate, and real estate wealth is most dependent on national policies. Perhaps one day when national policies change, Yang Hui's current mythical value will fall from the altar.
In the eyes of these scholars, Nie Wei is the most potential candidate to compete for the future richest man in China.
In their opinion, Nie Wei's wealth is undoubtedly more diversified, involving technology, the Internet, real estate, games, film and television, etc. Among them, Apple's shares are undoubtedly the most valuable in their opinion. As long as Apple's next generation of products can make another breakthrough, the value of this company will undoubtedly rise, and Nie Wei's net worth will naturally rise at that time.
In addition, it is no secret that Huayi is preparing for listing. As the number one entertainment company in the country, as long as Huayi can be listed, its market value will inevitably increase greatly, and as the first shareholder of Huayi, Nie Wei's net worth will also rise at that time.
There is also Fanxing Blog under Nie Wei, which has also embarked on the steps of listing. The potential of this company is even greater than that of Huayi Company. It is optimistic about countless economists. In their opinion, as long as these companies complete the steps of listing, that is, when Nie Wei's wealth surpasses Yang Hui and becomes the richest man in China.
Of course, the public will not care about the analysis of these economists. Everyone basically just watches the excitement, and the reason for discussing Nie Wei is because of Nie Wei's other identity.
"Oh my god, this is 72 billion? I don't even have 7.2 million!"
"Do celebrities make so much money? I can't believe my eyes."
"Real estate tycoon? Technology giant? Investment god? What should I call you, my brother Nie Wei."
"Although he is not the richest man in China, he is definitely the richest among celebrities."
The public was shocked by Nie Wei's net worth. In their original impression, although celebrities are rich, they are still far from those super-rich. Most of the investments they make are to open restaurants.
But Nie Wei undoubtedly refreshed their three views. He has various companies under his umbrella, and his investment vision is accurate. Take Apple for example. Many people did not think highly of this company before. Some economists even predicted more than once that this company would fall under the siege of giants such as Microsoft and Dell, and that niche companies could not achieve good results.
But when most people were not optimistic, Nie Wei actually bought 50 million shares of this company. Even if the price at which Nie Wei bought Apple's stock was the lowest value of the company's stock in recent years, it was still hundreds of millions of dollars.
No one dared to imagine how much pressure Nie Wei was under when he invested this money, but it was precisely because of this that Nie Wei's success at this moment seemed even more precious. With this investment alone, Nie Wei was enough to be included in the ranks of the best investors of the year, not to mention that Nie Wei had many wonderful investment records before, such as iFlytek and Ali's payment software.
On the day the list was announced, Nie Wei and Shu Chang's phones kept ringing, and they only stopped when both of them ran out of battery.
"Even Shishi called and said she was asking you if this stock was okay for her mother." Shu Chang handed Nie Wei a note with a look of tears and laughter on her face. On it was the stock code that Lin Shishi told her. Shu Chang really didn't expect that this carefree girl actually had a little money-grubber in her heart.
She said she was asking for her mother, but Shu Chang could tell at once that this girl was asking for herself.
In addition to Lin Shishi, friends including Jiang Xin, Yang Mi, Fan Binbin, etc., all sent messages to Shu Chang, either teasing her that she was about to become a 100 billionaire wife, or consulting about investment, asking her if Nie Wei had revealed any good stocks to Shu Chang, so that Shu Chang could help them make a small fortune.
"I don't really understand this either. I'll take it to our company's short-term analyst tomorrow." Nie Wei only knows the most basic knowledge about stocks. His investment is completely based on his future memory. You ask him to analyze stock curves, etc., he doesn't have this ability.
Taking the note, Nie Wei sighed.
These friends' requests for help are actually good. Although they also have some interests, they don't make Nie Wei feel embarrassed.
What really gives Nie Wei a headache is those people who come out of nowhere to seek investment.
Perhaps Nie Wei's investment vision is fully recognized by the media and the public. These people who think they have very good ideas have begun to target Nie Wei. From the day of the report, Nie Wei's work mailbox began to receive some content seeking investment, and these emails are increasing. To date, Nie Wei has received thousands of similar emails seeking investment.
It's okay to say that these people's ideas are reliable. In Nie Wei's view, 99% of them are whimsical.
It seems that someone wants to sell air, saying that they want to ship air from abroad back to China to sell, saying that the air from abroad seems to have more nutrients than the air in China. After reading this report, Nie Wei curiously checked the city where he was going to buy air. The embarrassing result was that the air index of that city exceeded 500 that day, and the PM2.5 was off the charts.
"In a sense, the air in this place is indeed more 'nutritious' than the air in China." Nie Wei's complaints made Luo Kai laugh all day. He wanted to laugh when he thought about it, and he couldn't stop laughing for a while.
There are also people who want Nie Wei to make medicine together, saying that he has developed a new drug that can cure many insurmountable diseases in the world, and can even restore brain cells and help the human brain return to youth. It's just short of saying that it can make people immortal.
Nie Wei is speechless about this kind of people. Your medicine is so powerful, why don't you publish it directly in a medical journal? By then, there will probably be a lot of rich people willing to invest in your new medicine.
Liars and daydreamers, Nie Wei has seen a lot of these two types of people recently.
Of course, there are some worth noting among the thousands of investment requests. Nie Wei selected several investment projects that he is optimistic about and handed them over to his investment company for investigation. If the situation is indeed deteriorating, Nie Wei may really consider the possibility of investment.
"By the way, Sister Tao called and said that her husband wants to invite us to dinner." Shu Chang suddenly thought of something and asked Nie Wei: "Are you going?"
"Just us and Liu Tao?" Nie Wei did not agree immediately, but asked carefully.
"Yes, Sister Tao did not invite anyone else." Shu Chang frowned and thought about it, and then confirmed the answer.
When Nie Wei heard this, he knew that it was definitely not Liu Tao's intention to make this call, but the idea of her husband who is an investor.
"Please help me turn it down, just say that I am very busy preparing for the new movie recently. I will invite them after this period of busyness." Nie Wei did not hesitate and directly rejected this invitation. Nie Wei was really too lazy to care about this kind of invitation with obvious purpose. Of course, Liu Tao's face still had to be given, so Nie Wei helped Shu Chang think of a reason to refuse.
"Okay then." Shu Chang looked a little embarrassed, but seeing that Nie Wei had made a decision, she still did not refute.
However, Nie Wei saw Shu Chang's fleeting embarrassment, and smiled and patted Shu Chang's little head. Nie Wei explained: "You don't need to say anything, I'll go and talk to Liu Tao in person."
"Is this okay?" Shu Chang asked worriedly, but subconsciously she looked relieved. She had a good relationship with Liu Tao, and the other party took the initiative to invite her. Shu Chang really didn't know how to refuse.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm really busy recently. Liu Tao will definitely understand. There are many opportunities to eat. Don't dwell on this one." Nie Wei comforted Shu Chang, but she was not prepared to meet Liu Tao's husband Wang Ke in the near future. After all, she could find an excuse to refuse the dinner. When they were eating at the same table, if the other party wanted to pull her to make some investment, she would be embarrassed to refuse at that time.
Rather than waiting for something more embarrassing to happen, Nie Wei thought it was best to nip the trouble in the bud.
"Don't worry about the dinner for now. I have something more important to tell you." Nie Wei was afraid that Shu Chang was still dwelling on Liu Tao's dinner invitation, so he changed the subject and told Shu Chang about something he had planned to hide for a while.
"What's the matter?" Shu Chang asked in confusion.
"We have to move." Nie Wei said to Shu Chang very seriously.
There have always been two bodyguards on standby near Shu Chang, and today, one of the bodyguards reported something to Nie Wei, which attracted Nie Wei's high attention.
Although Nie Wei is not sure whether the other party is really malicious, it is obvious that this incident has aroused Nie Wei's vigilance. A stranger can actually break into the community where he lives. In any case, the security of this community obviously does not meet the standards required by Nie Wei.
And now Nie Wei's wealth topic is at the cusp of the storm. Nie Wei dare not bet whether someone will take the risk to kidnap people around him to achieve the purpose of blackmail. This kind of thing is not uncommon, even for the rich, danger is everywhere.
After calling the community security department to complain, Nie Wei also began to carefully consider whether to move to a safer place.
The first thing Nie Wei considered was the community known as the "Star Building" in the Stars Commercial Center. When it was developed, Nie Wei reserved an apartment with the best orientation, location and floor for himself and Shu Chang, but Nie Wei soon denied it.
Although the community was developed by themselves and the security force is definitely better than the community where they live now, it is a residential area with many residents after all, and there will always be strangers coming and going, which may be exploited by criminals. After thinking about it, Nie Wei still thinks that moving to a single-family villa is the most appropriate. At that time, as long as it is equipped with a complete security system and bodyguards, it is obviously safer than an apartment building.
