Feng Yu flew to the Magic City today to receive a guest, or a guest who could barely be said to be an acquaintance. The people accompanying him were Zong Qingxian and Hu Run.
Steve Forbes, the head of Forbes magazine, contacted Feng Yu and wanted to interview Feng Yu again. Feng Yu only said that he was unavailable, and Steve said that he could come to China for interviews and would not delay Feng Yu for a long time.
As for the reason, it's very simple, because according to their "Forbes" survey and evaluation, Feng Yu's real assets are likely to have exceeded Bill Gates.
However, the two companies controlled by Feng Yu, Fengyu Holding Group and Taihua Holding Group, are not listed. Even their holding subsidiaries and joint-stock companies are mostly not listed, so Steve feels that there may be asset appraisals. Some questions made me want to interview Feng Yu in person.
It would be better if we could get real data from Feng Yu. If Feng Yu's assets really exceed that of Bill Gates, then this news will definitely increase the sales of "Forbes" again if this news is reported.
After all, Bill Gates has been the world's richest man since 1994 and has been a banker for so long. This change will definitely attract a lot of people's attention and curiosity.
Just like sports competitions, such as Chinese table tennis, if you always win the championship, it's not interesting, and people won't find it too interesting to watch. But one day, China loses and only gets second place. Then the attention of the first person will increase dramatically. At the same time, this news will attract a lot of people's attention.
"Forbes" portrays Bill Gates as a money-making hero. When this hero is defeated, what a big gimmick it is.
What's more, if this person is Feng Yu, then the age of the world's richest man will be refreshed again.
…
"Feng, it's nice to meet you." When Steve saw Feng Yu, he extended his hands enthusiastically.
"You already know Hu Run. This is Zong Qingxian. I think you should also know about it, right?" Feng Yu said with a smile.
Hu Run was sent to pick him up at the airport by Feng Yu. The British man, who was half-Chinese, must have chatted with Steve a lot along the way. After all, Steve was once Hu Run's idol.
Now, Hu Run’s idol is Feng Yu.
"Can I call you Zong? Zong, hello, I've wanted to interview you for a long time. After I finish interviewing Feng, can I interview you? It won't take you long." Steve immediately grabbed him again enthusiastically He took Zong Qingxian's hand.
This is one of Feng Yu's two generals, Zong Qingxian, who manages Taihua Holdings Group, and is also one of the giants in the world's beverage industry. Of course, Steve has known about it for a long time.
Hu Run translated for Zong Qingxian, and Zong Qingxian smiled: "Why don't we make an appointment tomorrow? According to our Chinese custom, when friends come from afar, a banquet will be held in the evening."
Steve nodded immediately: "Sure, guests are welcome."
As long as Zong Qing agrees first, he will be interviewed tomorrow, not next year, so he is not in a hurry. It just so happens that I can sort out Feng Yu's interview transcript tonight, so I can save myself from asking Zong Qingxian repeated questions tomorrow.
Hu Run is also the editor-in-chief of a top magazine in China and a well-known media person in China, but here, he can only serve tea and serve as a translator.
But he also enjoyed it. It was such an honor for him to participate in the chat between these three people. And he can also learn how to interview from Steve Forbes in person.
Steve took a sip of coffee: "Well, it tastes good. Feng, you still prefer tea. If possible, I would like to start the interview now."
Feng Yu nodded: "Of course."
If I don’t do an interview now, why don’t I still chat with you about everyday things? Feng Yu and Steve Forbes can only be regarded as acquaintances, not friends. What is there to talk about
"Feng, as far as we know, there are only two direct investments under your control at this time, one is Fengyu Holdings Group, and the other is Taihua Holdings Group, right?" Steve asked seriously.
It's just that he is still not used to it. When interviewing Feng Yu, he cannot use a voice recorder and is not even allowed to use a pen or notebook. This is a test of his memory. Fortunately, he memorized some major issues and would not miss them.
"That's right." Feng Yu nodded. It's not a secret, too many people know it.
"So do you absolutely control these two holding groups?" Steve asked again.
In his heart, he believed that it should be an absolute controlling stake, but he still had to get the answer from Feng Yu.
"Yes, I own more than two-thirds of each."
Steve was a little excited, as expected. But he didn't ask in detail how many shares Feng Yu held. He probably wouldn't tell Feng Yu if he asked him, and he couldn't be sure to kick him out immediately. Rumor has it that Feng Yu's temper is not very good, second only to the people he interviewed. That Kirilenko, the richest man in Europe.
"We have noticed that China has several Internet companies listed on Nasdaq. Among their shareholders, there is a company called Taihua Consulting. Is it a subsidiary of Taihua Holdings Group?"
Taihua Holdings Group is an unlisted company, and internal information is not easy to investigate. Although the operations performed by Feng Yu were not particularly complicated, they still had to bypass several companies.
As for Fengyu Holdings Group, it is even more complicated. At least Steve has not investigated clearly how many controlling and equity-holding subsidiaries Fengyu Holdings and Taihua Holdings have.
"Yes, Taihua Consulting is a subsidiary of Taihua Holdings. It is an investment company that has made a lot of venture investments and failed a lot. For example, the stock prices of several Internet companies have fallen below the issue price. , I’ve lost a lot of money.”
Feng Yu said this, but his heart was filled with joy. It would be best if it falls below the issue price, but it would be better if it falls harder. He has already planned to delist those companies, which is equivalent to making a fortune.
Sell a stone for 50,000 yuan, and then use the 50,000 yuan to invest and make money. After two years, the stone is only worth 30,000 yuan. If you spend money to buy it back, the original value in your hand will be Fifty thousand yuan has become 80,000 yuan. It's like mortgaging a stone and getting 50,000 yuan for nothing. What a bargain!
Steve knew clearly, measured the market value of those Internet companies, and then mentally increased the assets of Taihua Holdings, which meant that Feng Yu's assets had increased.
"Feng, then among your subsidiaries, the one with the most funds under management is Fengyu Consulting Company?"
"Yes, this is also an investment company, used to invest in some financial products."
"So the assets of this company exceed 50 billion US dollars?" Steve Forbes stared into Feng Yu's eyes and asked the question he wanted to ask the most today!
