Chapter 625 626 [I confess, I am the richest man]
After Zhao Benshan received Xiang Nan's invitation, he readily agreed.
First, he and Xiang Nan are from the Northeast. The biggest advantage of Northeast people is unity; secondly, he has also invested in film and television dramas in recent years, "Liu Laogen" and "Ma Dashuai" are very popular.
As the saying goes, there are three stakes for one fence, and three gangs for one hero. It is inevitable that when two companies cooperate, they will communicate with each other.
After Uncle Benshan nodded, "A World Without Thieves" immediately began to make preparations before shooting. Script review, actor audition, makeup setting, script reading, location scouting... a series of tasks, very troublesome.
…
During the preparation process of "A World Without Thieves", the media suddenly broke a shocking news-Xiang Nan is actually the largest individual shareholder of Tencent Group, holding nearly 30% of Tencent's shares.
Since Tencent is applying to go public in Hong Kong, the value of the stocks held by Xiang Nan is likely to skyrocket. It is worth about two billion Hong Kong dollars.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation all over the country.
People knew that Xiang Nan had made money, but they didn't expect that he was so rich. Just twenty-four years old, already so rich, it's frightening to death.
You know, in the Hurun Report launched in 2003, it is enough to rank in the top 20. In other words, Xiang Nan was only twenty-four years old, and he was already among the richest people in China.
"My God, two billion Hong Kong dollars, he is really rich!"
"So much money, when will he spend it all!"
"As expected of someone I like, that's amazing!"
The people praised in succession.
…
But before they could calm down, the media soon broke the news again.
It turns out that Xiang Nan is not only a shareholder of Tencent, but also a major shareholder of many Internet companies such as Baidu, NetEase, Souhu, Ali, and Xinlang.
The stocks he holds together amount to about 8 billion RMB. As a result, the title of Netease boss Ding Lei's richest man was taken away by him.
The twenty-four-year-old richest man in China!
This title shocked not only the Chinese people, but even the foreign media.
Who would have thought that a young man could make so much money.
For a while, the media made interview requests for Xiang Nan. The "Time" magazine in the United States wanted to ask him about his secrets to getting rich.
And to the youth studio, and even the crew of "A World Without Thieves", all colleagues looked at him respectfully and with worship, just like looking at a statue of a god.
…
"Yuan Hua, you really have eight billion?" Qiuya asked curiously.
"Almost." Xiang Nan nodded.
Eight billion is actually just the value of the stocks he holds. But in fact, including the real estate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in his hands, it is more than 8 billion.
Qiuya's eyes lit up when she heard it, "Why have you never heard of it before?"
"There is nothing to say." Xiang Nan smiled, "There is a certain amount of money, but it is just a string of numbers."
Xiang Nan glanced at her and smiled, "As long as you follow me well, I won't treat you badly."
"Really?!" Qiu Ya said excitedly, "It's decided, I will definitely be obedient."
Eight billion yuan, even if she is divided into one tenth, it is enough for her to spend her whole life.
…
Subsequently, Xiang Nan accepted exclusive interviews from several well-known domestic and international media.
"Mr. Yuan, according to our investigation, you chose to invest in these Internet companies during the Internet bubble in 2001. But at that time, major investment banks lost confidence in the Internet. Why did you dare to invest hundreds of millions of RMB What?" the reporter asked curiously.
"Because I have always had confidence in the Internet." Xiang Nan laughed, "I have been exposed to the Internet relatively early, and I have been exposed to the Internet since 1996.
It provided me with a brand new world, broadened my horizons and enriched my knowledge. I can have today's results, I think it is all thanks to the Internet.
So I think, since the Internet can help me, it can definitely help others, so I think it is very valuable and has great potential for development. So I dare to invest.
Now, the development of these companies is also confirming my thoughts. And I think that the development of the Internet is far from reaching its peak.
One is that the current Internet speed is not fast enough. The current broadband speed is only 512KB/S, and you can only watch pictures, text, or low-resolution videos and animations.
In the future, after the network speed is increased, it will be several megabytes or tens of megabytes per second. At that time, people will be able to watch movies online, play large-scale online games, and even store data on the network to realize remote office, telemedicine and so on.
Second, the Internet is not popular yet, and computers have not yet entered thousands of households. At present, the number of Internet users in China is less than 200 million, while there are 1.3 billion people in China, and most of them have never used the Internet.
When these people also start to surf the Internet, read news online, watch TV, watch movies, play games, chat online, shop online, work online...
Then the Internet really becomes a virtual world. At that time, the output value it will burst out will be much more than it is now. Therefore, I have great confidence in the future development of the Internet. "
After listening to Xiang Nan's eloquent talk, the reporter felt that it made sense.
…
And when Xiang Nan's words were published, they immediately aroused considerable repercussions at home and abroad.
Many people of insight think what Xiang Nan said is right. At this stage, the Internet has indeed just started and is far from reaching its peak, so there is a lot of room for development.
The online video, online TV, online shopping, online chat, etc. proposed by Xiang Nan, some are in the ascendant, while others are still blank.
Inspired by him, many people started their businesses.
So many years later, Xiang Nan was called the spiritual leader of the Internet.
…
After his identity as a rich man was exposed, Xiang Nan not only gained a lot of reputation, but also faced some minor troubles.
One is that more and more girls like him, who take the initiative to wink, send notes, send text messages... all wanting to have something to do with him.
This phenomenon has actually existed before. Those actresses who play tricks, female fans who like his songs, etc. But not as crazy as it is now.
To be honest, if Xiang Nan hadn't brought a personal assistant by his side, he would have been worried that he would be reversed.
Even Zhang Ziyi, who hadn't been in contact with him for a long time, called him on his own initiative, both inside and outside the words, revealing the idea of getting back together. It can be said to be very realistic.
One is that more and more people ask him for money. Some invited him to invest in projects, some invited him to make a fortune together, and some charitable and non-profit organizations came to ask for alms. There were even some magic sticks who came to tell Xiang Nan that he was in trouble and asked him to spend money to eliminate the disaster...
In short, there are all kinds of things, mixed with dragons and snakes, which is extremely annoying, and it also strengthens Xiang Nan's idea of retreating to the second line.
