Chapter 303 Fifth place in the world!
If there is any compulsion now, then Roland will definitely post like this:
【Starting a business at the age of ten and retiring at the age of twenty, how should I spend the rest of my life? Waiting online, very urgent! 】
I believe it won't be long before someone will reply like this—
"Are you the legend that the third grade researched 'tea polyphenols anti-tumor', the sixth grade published 'C10orf67 function and mechanism research in the development of colorectal cancer', can write 300 Cipai, 2000 poems a day, a 15,000-word novels, and founded three brands of Houlang? '
No way, there are too many slots, everyone will think this is fishing.
But Roland really felt that he could retire, because on the day "Spider-Man 3" finished filming and officially bid farewell to the actor, he counted his wealth and understood that he can do anything now!
The stock of Berkshire Hathaway closed at 68,900 per share that day.
He holds a total of 20,000 shares, which is 1.378 billion.
After Microsoft entered 1999, its share price has entered a skyrocketing state.
At present, each share is 45 yuan, and he holds 10.48 million shares, with a total value of 470 million.
In the second year after Jobs returned to Apple, Apple turned losses into profits. Although the current market value has only increased from 2 billion to 3 billion, Roland holds 17.2% of the shares. His property is 512 million.
Combined with the newly invested Gilead and Google whose value cannot be liquidated, the paper value of the stocks of major companies alone can bring Roland a net worth of nearly 2.7 billion!
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that under the leadership of Jeff Bezos, Amazon's stock price is infinitely approaching 30 billion.
Roland holds 18.35% of the shares.
Do a simple multiplication calculation, and you can know that Roland's Amazon stock is worth 5.5 billion.
And fifty-five plus twenty-seven...
There are already 8.2 billion here!
That's right, a family of Shouwang Venture Capital with a total of less than ten people has contributed 8.2 billion to Roland's net worth!
However, for Roland, the 8.2 billion is actually a good-looking number, without any real meaning of wealth.
Because he will not be foolish to liquidate his positions, these stocks will not be turned into cash.
And Jeff Bezos's usual method of cashing out at a high level, buying at a low level, and cutting out the stockholders' leeks is actually very troublesome for Roland, because all the shares he holds have exceeded the red line of 5%, so I want to If you want to cash out, you have to report to the SEC every time before you can reduce your holdings. Although he doesn't need to do these things, there are too many companies that can't bear to cash out!
If you do these things every day, David, the chairman of Shouwang Venture Capital, shouldn’t go home, just live in the SEC and it’s over!
If David had written a diary unseriously, the content of the diary would be like this:
Monday, today, was a hopeful day as I explained to the SEC why the company was reducing its holdings of Apple…
Tuesday, another hopeful day, I explained to the SEC why the company is reducing its stake in Gilead…
Wednesday, still a promising day, I explained to the SEC why the company is reducing its stake in Amazon…
If Roland dares to cash out like this, let's not talk about whether the SEC and IRS will investigate him!
Light is David! Could wring his head off!
So, don't look at the 8.2 billion here, there may be more in the future, but for Roland, these things are all waste paper, and he feels so sick to wipe his **** after **** !
Since these things are all wealth on paper, Roland will really lose it after reading it, because compared with these things, Yahoo, which has begun to reduce its holdings crazily, is currently his biggest source of cash.
Since he reduced his holdings in Yahoo in 1997, the frequency of reducing his holdings by 2% every three months has allowed him to withdraw more than 4 billion in cash, even if 2.8 billion of them were exchanged for Man Wei, the money left in his hands is still more than 1.2 billion.
Although the value of Roland when he successively reduced his holdings was compared with the current high stock price of nearly 100 yuan, it was basically a 40% to 30% off liquidation sale, but the inflow of real money was much more than just throwing it into his hands. up!
And if you count the more than 400 million that has already been obtained from Yahoo, and the 7 billion that can continue to be obtained, Roland's net worth is already 20 billion.
If you add RandK, which has a good prospect, is valued at 5 billion, and holds 38 shares, and Warcraft Film and Television, which holds a lot of copyrights, and Blizzard Entertainment, which has frequent blockbusters but no plans to go public, it can be ranked in Roland's place. There are only four guys in front—
Fourth, is Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft with a net worth of more than 30 billion.
The third is Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, who is just a little more than Paul Allen.
Second, Oracle founder Larry Ellison is ranked above them with a net worth of more than 50 billion.
The first is Bill Gates, who already owned 90 billion in 1999.
This special code is really not known if you don’t read it, it’s shocking to see it!
A year ago, when "Titanic" was on the market, Roland only knew that his net worth had steadily exceeded 5 billion, but after only more than 300 days, there was someone who was richer than him on the surface. Only four left!
And people like Saudi Prince Assoud, Aldi founder Albrecht, rich second-generation Robertson Walton born in Wal-Mart, Japanese gambling king Masayoshi Son, and Dell founder Michael Dell all have to be in his company now. Eat ashes on the back of your ass!
If his net worth is on the surface, it will be the fifth in the world!
"Can I rank fifth on the Forbes list of the world's richest people?"
"If I still work on my own, wouldn't I be crazy?"
"The Internet really nourishes people!"
Although when the Internet bubble comes, Roland's net worth will definitely be discounted and shrunk, but for him, this shrinking is more symbolic than practical, because he who has the right to speak does not need to sell stocks at a high point for a little money. throw.
It is easy to clear the warehouse, but it is even more difficult to get back.
And he will not use financial tools to reverse short, in order to preserve these wealth.
Not only because the large amount cannot be explained, but also because it is unnecessary.
These wealth have become numbers in Roland's eyes, and they are still numbers that will continue to expand!
"So—you really chose to retire?"
While Roland was counting the wealth he had earned through ten years of hard work, Kate, who was sitting across from him, kept looking at him with her chin resting on one hand.
It may be because of the skyrocketing wealth, but it may also be that Roland has become handsome again, so Kate, who has been staring at him during the busy process, not only did not feel bored, but pursed her lips and smiled.
Roland, who looked up at the sound, clearly captured the joyful and silly mannerisms, and after finding out that his woman was smiling like a fool, Roland, who had unloaded all the burdens, immediately leaned back, with his head slightly raised. , using his nostrils to show people, tapped his right index finger out of thin air, and said casually: "There are 30 billion here, who will retire if I don't retire?"
"I tell you, you should treat me better in the future!"
"If you treat me badly, I will announce your net worth!"
"At that time, the women who want to post it can fill the entire Pacific Ocean!"
"goose…"
Like the behavior of the landlord's second idiot, Kate giggled.
Holding his head sideways, like a husky, he taunted Roland with his soul.
Although he felt that his acting was a bit silly, when facing Kate's ridicule, Roland, who wanted to establish his family status, still kept a straight face and said: "Don't laugh! Be serious! I'm serious with you! No joke!"
"If you dare to treat me badly! Then I will be a groom every day!"
"Wilt Chamberlain, do you know?"
"He only achieved the achievement of killing 20,000 people!"
"And I'm so young, at least I can double that number!"
It seemed to be to add a bit of momentum to his words, but Roland slapped the table loudly.
But when the crisp slapping sound was like the sound blade of the six-fingered piano demon, and it enveloped Kate, Kate, who was already leaning on the seat and breathless with joy, had already shed tears...
While pulling out a tissue and wiping her cheeks, she also responded in a hoarse voice, "Roland."
"Um?"
"You don't need to announce your net worth, you can be a groom every day."
"As long as you know!" Roland smiled, he thought Kate's eyesight was still so good!
But before he could strike while the iron was hot and let Kate settle down a bit in the future, and stop twisting, pinching, hitting, and grabbing herself, Kate took a step ahead and said, "But double the number of 20,000 people! ~"
"I think if you count the next life, you won't be able to complete it."
"Heh! Are you questioning my ability?" Roland's smile just now disappeared.
His eyes glared angrily, he wanted to know what else this dead woman could say.
Such an exaggerated style made Kate, who was amused again, blow her nose. After dealing with the physiological reaction, she pushed the messy hair behind her ears and continued: "Stop pretending, you will never be a **** of."
"You're more like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett than Paul Allen, the guy who stays in the flowers."
Although Kate didn't explain what she said, Roland already understood her thoughts.
When he took the initiative to form 'RandK', he had already touched the true meaning of capital.
The so-called truth is actually that all behaviors serve the expansion of capital. Capitalists will not do things that are against the development of capital. There will be a lot of hidden dangers in the physical comfort, which may damage the capitalists. foundation.
Just like Summer Redstone didn't want to swear at the wedding;
Just like Warren Buffett treats his wife in a long-term way;
Although after Kate and Roland split 'RandK' in half, the 38% shares held by Roland are only 1.9 billion, and compared with his other industries, the 1.9 billion is not worth a penny at all. mention, but—
This doesn't mean Roland will give up!
Not only that, Roland also wants to make this brand with a good starting point bigger and stronger!
In this way, he will want to control his pants zipper more than Kate...
This is capital.
"Hey! Why are you speaking so clearly! This is boring!"
Although Roland didn't care about these things, he still found them boring.
‘I am the fifth richest man in the world! '
‘At home, I was still ridiculed by my daughter-in-law...’
'Eh! What a boring day! '
But while he was waving his hands to show dissatisfaction, Kate got up and touched behind him.
Leaning forward, hands drooping, ears rubbed together, he asked softly, "Then~ so what~"
Before the words fell, before Roland could figure out the situation, buzzing words had already entered his ears.
"Three billion in ten years~ You are the most powerful man I have ever seen in my life~"
"I know that I have behaved wrongly in the past~ You can punish me~ but don't take it personally~"
"Don't leave me~ I promise I will obediently listen to you~"
"Why don't you respond to me~ Are you angry with me~"
"Don't you like seeing me in maid outfit the most~ I'll show you how I wear it every day from now on~"
"Master~"
Baby teeth, biting the earlobe.
Boom! !
Roland exploded! !
Turn the seat, grab the waist, put it on your shoulders, and kick the door out.
Kate, who was lying on Roland's body, opened her eyes with a monkey's anxious reaction, and put her arms around the man's body, her cheek pressed against her waist.
She has always been a smart woman who knows what it means to be unattainable and always in turmoil.
Even if she is kidnapped by capital and can make her confident, she will still not act willfully.
Because she understands that capital can only help her lock in people, and the color of life has to be painted by themselves.
...
Even though Roland kept saying that he wanted to enjoy life, he was woken up by his biological clock at six o'clock the next morning.
Habitually covered Kate with a quilt, then got into the gym, spent the familiar forty-five minutes on the treadmill, and then returned to the room, and woke up the guy who was already awake but couldn't afford it.
"Didn't you say you were going to retire?"
Kate pushed back her messy hair with one hand, and pulled the white shirt that Roland wore yesterday with the other, and put it on her body directly.
She has a morning shower habit, so it's more comfortable for her to dress looser before then.
"That's right! I did mean to retire, but I didn't say I want to retire!"
Roland didn't know why, even though he tasted it many times, he still felt it every time he faced it.
Glanced twice, he moved his eyes away not wanting to delay the matter, and said: "Don't dawdle, get up quickly, and accompany me out today."
"Why? It's summer vacation now! I promised to take Liqi and the others out to play!"
"Three houses in Malibu, San Francisco and Irvine were installed earlier this month, and they are going to see them!"
Kate saw that Roland was serious, so she buttoned the clothes first.
But because Roland was three inches taller than her, when the thighs under the hem dangled in front of Roland—
'Why! '
'It's so difficult! '
Roland spat secretly, got up and walked to the bathroom, "Won't things like the house look the same someday?"
"Accompanying you to go out, wouldn't it be the same someday?" Kate said with a smile.
"These two things cannot be confused!" Roland, who was leaning against the bathroom door, rolled his eyes.
"Why can't it work?" Kate threw the bath towel to him.
"You are showing them our new home, right?" Roland asked.
"Yes!" Kate nodded with a smile, rubbed the space Roland left for her, and got into the bathroom.
"But I'm taking you to be someone else's father!" Roland stopped pretending and slapped him, "Do you think it will be the same?"
