Feng Yu’s assistant reminded Feng Yu that he received an email signed by the president of Forbes in his Wangyi mailbox.
Feng Yu has several email addresses, some related to work, some related to life, some will be handed over to subordinates to manage, reminding him of any important emails, and some only Feng Yu himself knows the password, and only the closest ones know the password. People know the account number.
Steve Forbes? Feng Yu was curious, why did he send him an email at this time
Feng Yu once accepted an exclusive interview with Steve Forbes, but it was under the auspices of Bill Gates. At that time, Feng Yu was still a shareholder of Microsoft, which was considered a favor to Bill Gates.
Later, Feng Yu broke up with Microsoft, and his relationship with Steve naturally faded. Even Steve didn't have Feng Yu's mobile phone number and couldn't contact Feng Yu directly.
Although Steve is not worth much, he has huge influence. He can directly talk to the President of the United States, but now he cannot directly contact Feng Yu.
Feng Yu clicked on the email and saw that Steve told them about their company's adjustment to the ranking of the world's top ten richest people, and hoped that Feng Yu would allow them to adjust Feng Yu's net worth so that the sales of "Forbes" would increase significantly. He even said that Feng Yu made a promise to sell some shares to Feng Yu.
If the world's richest man was also a shareholder of Forbes, then the status of Forbes would be very different. And Feng Yu is not just the world's richest man, he is the world's richest man with assets exceeding 100 billion U.S. dollars. His status is unshakable!
And isn’t Feng Yu famous for making a lot of money from whatever he invests in? If Feng Yu invested in "Forbes", then the market value of Forbes would definitely skyrocket.
In addition, Feng Yu owns "Fengyu Business Weekly". Directly using this price to buy shares will allow "Forbes" to completely open up the Asian market, thereby widening the gap with other business magazines.
It is quite tempting to invest in "Forbes". After all, this is one of the most authoritative business magazines in the world, and there is nothing that Feng Yu dislikes.
Speaking of chatting with Steve, Feng Yu felt that it was quite pleasant. Steve was a person with very high emotional intelligence.
However, Feng Yu does not agree with letting "Fengyu Business Weekly" be completely merged into "Forbes". The two parties can exchange shares. Since "Forbes" is controlled by the Forbes family, "Fengyu Business Weekly", Asia's top business magazine founded by Feng Yu, still needs to be controlled by Taihua Holdings Group.
Feng Yu can fill the gap in value with cash.
Feng Yu replied an email to Steve and asked him to come to China to negotiate. There is no need for Feng Yu to go to the United States to discuss such a trivial matter.
When Steve received Feng Yu's reply to the email, he happily booked a flight and flew to Xiangjiang that night. Feng Yu will be here all the time.
…
"Feng, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Steve, welcome to Xiangjiang."
Feng Yu's assistant went to the airport and picked up Steve. Feng Yu was waiting in the office.
"Feng, first of all, congratulations to you for once again being the world's richest man. When the global economic crisis broke out and the assets of most wealthy people shrank seriously, your assets should have increased a lot, right?" Steve asked after sitting down.
Of course, this is also a test for him. After all, many of Feng Yu's industries are unlisted companies and are not easy to calculate.
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh? Why do you think so? Our company also holds the stocks of many listed companies, and they have fallen a lot during this period."
"Feng, are you testing me? Although your two holding groups own the stocks of many listed companies, the stock price decline of those companies of yours is relatively small."
"And we have analyzed that your biggest assets are the shares of unlisted companies, such as Bingcheng Machinery, Taihua Supermarket Group, Lehaha Group, Fengyu Electronics, Aihua Electronics, Fengyu Electrical Appliances, Polar Bear Mining Group, Fengyu Consulting , Taihua Consulting, etc.”
"The stocks of companies such as Lianxiang Group, Lianxiang Yinshan, and Beidacang are still rising. You are really amazing. Obviously China's stock market as a whole is also falling, but many of the companies you invested in have bucked the trend and risen."
"But this is also very reasonable. After all, the products of Lianxiang Group and Lianxiang Yinshan are very popular at this time. But I also found an interesting place. It seems that you have invested a lot of money in North America, mostly in IT-related industries. And you obviously have enough funds, but you have not stabilized the stock prices of these companies."
For companies such as Facebook and Guge, Feng Yu should be able to raise the stock price, or at least stabilize it. Even for Amazon, Chaowei, and Eagle Weida, Feng Yu should be able to stabilize the stock price, as long as Feng Yu shows an attitude of increasing his holdings.
Many investors will blindly believe in Feng Yu, thus increasing their confidence in the stocks that Feng Yu has increased.
However, I heard that Fengyu Consulting, Taihua Consulting and other companies are still growing in size and their profits are also increasing. Why doesn't Feng Yu increase his holdings in those company stocks to stabilize his wealth
This made Steve think of a very interesting thing, that is, the stock prices of several Chinese Internet companies that Taihua Consulting invested in were soaring after being listed in North America.
Then after the Internet bubble came, the stock price fell all the way, even falling below the issue price, and then it was delisted quickly and returned to Hong Kong and Mainland China for re-listing.
After such a series of cooperation, not only those companies got benefits, but Feng Yu also got huge benefits. The market value of those Internet companies is much higher now than it was then.
There are rumors that Feng Yu doesn't like the company's listing, thinking that it will distribute money to others, and will always be monitored by others, and many operations will be subject to many restrictions.
Feng Yu is not short of money. He can wholly invest in many companies and does not need to raise funds from those companies at all. This is just some promises made by Feng Yu to those company founders. Unless those people give up voluntarily, they will not continue to dilute their shares.
That's why those companies chose to go public instead of letting Feng Yu continue to invest. It is said that Feng Yu is not worried about the operational risks of those companies at all. Some people even say that even if those investments are lost, it will not be a problem for Feng Yu. Feng Yu’s huge industrial empire alone is enough for Feng Yu to become the world’s leader. The richest man.
Steve then boldly guessed that Feng Yu deliberately caused the company's stock price to fall, and then took advantage of the opportunity to buy back at the bottom. Maybe some listed companies would delist.
Feng Yu smiled and did not answer. He handed a prepared document to Steve: "Take a look. These are my conditions of cooperation. If you agree, sign it. If you don't agree, forget it."
Feng Yu's attitude was very clear, either he agreed and everyone cooperated, or he stopped cooperating. Although "Forbes" has a huge influence, it has not been taken seriously by Feng Yu. He was stunned by Feng Yu even when he saw "Fortune" magazine!
Steve looked at it carefully for a long time: "Feng, I also want to show it to my company's legal affairs. If they think there is no problem with the terms of the contract, I will sign it immediately!"
