Bill Gates was sitting with his old friend Steve Forbes. He knew that many of the companies Feng Yu had invested in had gone public. He wanted to know how many times the market value of these companies had increased and how much Feng Yu's assets had increased. .
The title of the world's richest man has some obstacles to the development of Microsoft. For example, many people believe that the price of Microsoft's products is too high, it is a huge profit, and it is also suspected of monopoly. Otherwise, how could Bill Gates become the world's richest man in such a short period of time? of
But this title has unparalleled advantages for Bill Gates' personal investment. For example, as long as he reveals his intention to invest in a company, the company's stock will inevitably rise sharply. His name is a golden sign.
Of course, this is still much worse than Buffett, who is one of the representatives of stock speculation. Buffett always chooses companies that, after his analysis, have room for improvement in business management and have a high probability of making profits.
Some of the companies that Buffett invested in have had their executives fired, and their performance has also improved and grown greatly. If the price of a single stock rises, he will make a lot of money, not to mention the dividends on the shares.
And Feng Yu's investment is different from theirs. Feng Yu invests in unlisted companies, and then gives some opinions on business management without getting involved in the specifics. He waits for the company to make profits after it is listed, which seems a bit similar to venture capital.
But venture capital is called venture capital, and none of Feng Yu’s investments have been lost so far. How can there be any risk in this!
Steve Forbes handed Bill Gates a piece of newly collected data by his staff. When he saw the data, he was stunned for a moment.
Because according to this data, Feng Yu's assets have exceeded 50 billion US dollars at this time!
Forbes and Gates discussed it at the beginning and both believed that Feng Yu's assets were unlikely to exceed US$45 billion this year. Because Feng Yu has invested in many other traditional industries this year, such as retail, food, etc. There are no huge profits in such industries.
Moreover, they all thought before that there must be a reason why the company under Feng Yu's name was not listed, although they could also see what the reason was. However, after research, they believe that the most likely problem is financial. If it is not listed, financial irregularities will be fine, but it will not be possible after listing.
They believe that Feng Yu's biggest income this year is the rise in Microsoft's stock price. Originally, they had never considered that Feng Yu's assets could be close to 50 billion US dollars, let alone exceed it!
But after Lianxiang went public, Feng Yu's companies seemed to press a button and went public one after another. Although when these companies were listed, the spokespersons were not Feng Yu, and even the chairman of these companies was not Feng Yu. However, according to Steve Forbes' investigation, Feng Yu definitely has a high shareholding and stake in these companies. Great voice.
Every time a company goes public, the stock price soars. Even Forbes knows a secret that outsiders don't know. Lianxiang Group almost became one of the constituent stocks, but for some unknown reason, it didn't mention it later.
What a prestige it is for a company that has just gone public to almost become a constituent stock. Moreover, many investment institutions have identified Lianxiang Group as a blue-chip stock, a trustworthy stock worthy of long-term holding.
This is a treatment that many large companies in the United States do not have!
"Steve, is this data accurate?" Gates asked.
"Why, do you think this data overestimates his assets?" Forbes asked.
"No, on the contrary, I'm wondering if your assessment is a little low!" Gates said quietly.
Bill Gates suddenly thought that maybe he had underestimated Feng Yu all along. This young man had a sense of mystery from the moment he entered his sight.
He doesn't seem to have a strong background, but every step he takes in his economic empire seems to be very correct, so correct that it's hard to believe.
How can a normal business run without any detours? Even Microsoft has many failures. And Feng Yu's company seems to be able to make money no matter what it does.
It is said that many companies have little connection with each other. The only concrete connection is that they all have Feng Yu's investment.
If you want to say that this has nothing to do with Feng Yu, Feng Yu is not involved in the business management at all. No matter whether others believe it or not, Bill Gates absolutely does not believe it!
Since the stock prices of listed companies can soar after listing, then the asset valuations of Feng Yu's companies that have long been eligible for listing but have not been listed must be low.
Forbes looked at Bill Gates: "Do you feel threatened? My assessment is a bit conservative. If I were a little bolder, I think Feng's assets could exceed US$60 billion by the end of this year, even if he doesn't list a new company. If another company goes public, or Feng's Fengyu Electronics and other companies go public, it won't be a problem for his assets to exceed US$70 billion!"
Bill Gates is a little worried that Microsoft's market value has risen to a very high level, and it is unlikely to have great growth in the future. In other words, his assets may not increase much just by relying on Microsoft's stock. .
But Feng Yu is different. A lot of high-quality assets under Feng Yu's name are only partially listed, but the assets have grown so obviously. What if all of them are listed
Will Feng Yu's assets catch up with him or even surpass him
He originally thought that the person he could become friends with Feng Yu would be at least as good as Qiao Busi, even if it wasn't as good as his relationship with Buffett and others.
But unknowingly, the relationship between the two has broken down. Although they still cooperate in business, it seems impossible to become friends in personal relationships.
"How much has the assets of his Fengyu Consulting increased?"
"I don't know. It's an unlisted company. I can only find out that Microsoft's stocks are still held through that company, and some customers have invested this year. The assets must have grown."
This is the bad thing about unlisted companies. Their finances and managers are not disclosed. It is extremely difficult to check the assets of a company, and the data found is also very inaccurate.
This is also why Feng Yu's assets are preceded by the word "appropriate" in "Forbes", because many of Feng Yu's assets are really estimated.
Bill Gates sighed, forget it, don't think so much, at least Feng Yu is still a shareholder of Microsoft, right
Suddenly, the cell phones of Bill Gates and Steve Forbes rang almost at the same time. They both answered the phone and heard a message at the same time: Feng Yu sold Microsoft shares!
