Chapter 233 The Richest Man
Chen Jie said: "I have no connection with foreign countries."
What Li Yuan meant was that he regarded her as a foreign lobbyist.
"Then what are you afraid of? Who can do anything to you? Or are you worried that I will end up like Yu Chenguang?"
"I have no idea."
Li Yuan said: "The same thing, if Yu Chenguang was used as a scapegoat abroad, he would be dead now. The fact that he is still alive is the advantage of local people. I dare not say it is absolute, but at least for most people, if they can't get good results in China, they will only get worse abroad. Which side I stand on will not affect you. If I have a game with them, you are just an insignificant bargaining chip."
This sentence was to tell Chen Jie that even if something happened to him in the future, she would not be implicated.
For Li Yuan, if something happened to him, it could only be a systemic risk.
This risk will not happen suddenly, and there is enough time for him to prepare.
"Um."
Chen Jie snorted softly.
She waited for half an hour until Li Yuan entered the bedroom before leaving.
She realized that she had shown her weak side in front of Li Yuan, which would probably disappoint him.
I don't have that much ability, so I can only take care of the little bit of land at home. I get very nervous when I'm outside.
Especially since the path Li Yuan chose was not an easy one to walk on. She stepped on all the thorns on that path, leaving behind wounds that would never heal in her lifetime.
She didn't know whether Li Yuan would be successful in the future.
…
January 8th arrived as scheduled.
Li Yuan came to the company early in the morning and waited for Tang Jianjun.
Three or four people from each side came and sat in the conference room, discussing matters concerning shares.
There was bound to be a round of bargaining, mainly Yu Yue negotiating with others, while Li Yuan and Tang Jianjun didn't say much.
Once either of them speaks, the final word will be decided.
In the end, Tang Jianjun spoke first and set the previous price.
20 billion, 20% equity of Kingsoft Capital.
It is equivalent to a valuation of 100 billion.
The valuation of the financial industry itself is relatively low. Looking at the entire A-share financial-related stocks, the price-to-earnings ratio is basically around 20 to 30.
The price-to-earnings ratio of other industries can be raised to over 80.
According to this valuation, the PE of 25 times that Tang Jianjun gave to Kingkong Capital is within the normal range.
However, this is not a simple calculation. After all, there are so many places that want Tang Jianjun to invest his money. Their names are very valuable. Any stock that is held by securities funds will attract countless funds to enter the market.
This means that the stock is backed by someone and will definitely not collapse in the short term.
As a matter of fact, Tang Jianjun made a big concession this time. If the earnings of Qingtian Capital do not double after the new year, this investment will be a loss for the Securities Investment Fund.
Li Yuan invited Tang Jianjun to his office, and Yu Yue would discuss the specific details with the staff of the Securities Finance Corporation later.
After entering the office, Tang Jianjun said, "I thought I could come to Jiangzhou to eat fish, but you didn't even let me smell the fishy smell."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry. How can you catch big fish without weaving cloth and making nets?"
"Others always bring the fish to my mouth, but you are the only one who makes me weave the net myself. What if I can't catch any fish?"
"Hehe, that's just because you have poor taste. It has nothing to do with me."
Li Yuan didn't know how much money he could earn next year, but he would just put the securities money in first, which would make it easier for him .
The 20 billion will go directly into the group's account, and he will no longer be short of money after the new year.
Tang Jianjun took a deep breath and said, "Since you have made such a big fuss, you should show some strength. Otherwise, I will have no reason to speak up for you. Since you entered the financial industry, you have been subverting the traditional model of this industry. Now you want to subvert other areas. If your strength is too ordinary, no one will take you seriously."
"Yes, I understand."
"Then tell me, what else do you want? Otherwise, if you suddenly say something like "Don't mess with the masters", we won't be able to take the blame..."
Li Yuan smiled awkwardly. "There's nothing else to say. Anyway, the bank license has not been approved, and I'm not short of money. As long as my personal safety is not a problem, I will have more time to work after the New Year."
"As for safety, no one can guarantee that there will be no accidents. But as long as you don't run around and go to some chaotic places, it is basically unlikely that something will happen."
They arranged people to protect Li Yuan 24 hours a day, but the manpower was limited after all.
Once Li Yuan goes to a bar or a place that cannot be controlled, we cannot guarantee that we can protect him in time.
"I'm not interested in those places. By the way, do you have any contact with Qinghua? I want to cooperate with them on a project."
Tang Jianjun asked in surprise: "Cooperate with them on a project? Your Qingtian Group has not yet involved related majors, right? If it is finance, there are better options."
Li Yuan shook his head. "No, it's a project they had last June. I'm very interested and want to provide them with financial support."
"What subject?"
"Steady-state microbunch accelerator light source."
This topic is directly related to the photolithography factory that became a hot topic a few years later.
Li Yuan remembered that the matter was not widely known until 2023, but at that time it only had theoretical support because the research progress was too slow, and manpower and funds were the biggest problems.
It was not until Li Yuan's rebirth that it was verified and confirmed to be a feasible solution.
Tang Jianjun had never heard of this topic before, so he asked, "How much money do you plan to invest?"
He didn't mind seeking sponsorship for the university. After all, this was a topic he had never even heard of, and there would probably not be much funding.
With a big investor like Li Yuan willing to pay, I believe the school will be willing to cooperate.
"I'll take tens of millions to test the waters first. As long as the progress is satisfactory, I will make additional investments later."
Tang Jianjun nodded, "A few tens of millions will be enough. I'll help you get the news, and then you can talk about it yourself."
"Then I'll trouble you."
"Haha, I have never doubted your vision. If you really come up with something good, remember to bring us a copy."
"Sure, sure."
Li Yuan agreed with a smile on his face.
Anyway, there is no result now. Even if I inject funds, I may not be able to speed up the progress. The longer the time, the less meaningful this product will be.
The so-called photolithography factory subverts the concept of traditional photolithography machines.
Currently, the most advanced EUV lithography machines are extremely demanding in terms of light sources, and can produce pure extreme ultraviolet light sources in an extremely short channel.
The concept of a photolithography plant is to create various light sources in a very long acceleration channel, and finally guide them to where they should go through classification.
To put it simply, lithography machines are precision processing machines that require products to be very standard and to produce high-end chips to the maximum extent possible with a small number of defects.
The photolithography factory is responsible for rough processing. The products after processing are of various standards. Finally, after screening and classification, the best batch is picked out. That batch is considered high-end chips. There are also a large number of mid- and low-end process chips as additional products.
Moreover, after the lithography factory is built, it cannot be moved and does not have a commercial model.
Even the cost of producing chips is much higher.
But after all, it is a short-term opportunity to produce and manufacture high-end chips, and Li Yuan wants to spend some money to give it a try.
After all, there are not many jewels in the world's industrial crown. If he doesn't fight for chips, will he fight for lighter gaskets and milk cartons?
The ultimate goal of playing with finance is capital operation, and behind the capital operation there must be sufficient strength to support it.
Don’t worry about whether something is useful or not. As long as it can be used and as long as it is truly effective, it is a good thing.
At noon, we had lunch in the restaurant and signed the contract.
There will be no results on the tax side in the short term, especially as it is approaching the Chinese New Year, so it is not appropriate to make a big fuss.
Tang Jianjun also told him to wait patiently for two or three months and he would be notified as soon as there was a result.
Li Yuan definitely has this kind of patience.
He didn't dare to expect that as soon as he said a word, someone would immediately kill those people. He didn't have the ability to do so, or no one in the world had such ability.
Not one person, but a group of people.
I don’t know how long the entire investigation will take.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Forbes' domestic rich list was updated.
It was originally supposed to be released in the morning, but some data was temporarily changed and the official release was delayed until three o'clock in the afternoon.
After this list was released, the Internet went wild.
Because Li Yuan is actually the richest man in the country, with a net worth of 290 billion.
This is something no one dared to imagine.
It's really outrageous!
Even Li Yuan's fans think that this list has little credibility.
How could they not know how much Li Yuan was worth? Since Li Yuan released the video, many people have been following him.
Li Yuan earned 290 billion ? Is he kidding?
Many people on the Internet have questioned this list.
Forbes was forced to reveal their algorithm afterwards.
First, the companies under Li Yuan’s name were announced.
The company is controlled by the Qingtian Group, with Qingtian Capital holding 80%, BiXin holding 100%, Jiutian Media holding 100%, CATL holding 13%, Mindray Pharmaceuticals holding 15%, and Mihoyo holding 40%.
It is acknowledged that Kingkong Capital has just accepted the valuation of China Securities Finance Corporation.
In other words, Li Yuan is still worth 80 billion yuan at Qingtian Capital.
Jiutian Media's net profit last year was 500 million yuan, so there is no problem in giving it a valuation of 10 billion yuan.
13% of Ningde Pharmaceutical's shares are worth 6.5 billion yuan, and 15% of Mindray Pharmaceutical's shares are worth 13 billion yuan.
MiHoYo and BiXin calculated a total of 2 billion.
That's all I can count.
but……
Forbes cleverly exchanged the 20 billion yuan given by the securities fund with the money Li Yuan invested in four companies, and regarded the remaining 20 billion yuan as pure profit.
What this means is that Li Yuan sold the shares of Kingkong Capital and invested in other things, but the previous profits remained unchanged.
Profits can be leveraged.
The money from selling stocks is considered cash, not profit, and there is no way to leverage.
With a profit of 20 billion, Li Yuan's net worth would have increased and he would have become the richest man by simply asking any institution to give him a valuation.
Ranked second is Boss Xu.
His net worth is only 2 billion less than Li Yuan's.
Everyone was skeptical at the beginning , but after seeing the algorithm, everyone inexplicably believed it.
Because the Qingtian Group had a profit of 20 billion, the institution only gave it an 8 times leverage. Compared with other people, which one didn’t have a leverage of 20 to 30 times or even 40 to 50 times?
The only difference is that their company went public, while Li Yuan's company did not.
The data suddenly made sense.
The title of richest man is still useful to Li Yuan.
At least it gave BiXin a free advertisement, and the number of downloads increased significantly.
However, the payment license has not been issued yet, and Li Yuan does not want to engage in financial operations. He will wait until he gets the license in March.
Engaging in financial operations now is just like making wedding dresses for others.
Because BiXin can only connect to other payment channels at present.
Almost an hour after the news was announced, Jiang Yiling called.
After Li Yuan answered the call, he heard Jiang Yiling say, "I really can't keep it a secret for you now. Mom and Dad already know about you and are about to call you."
"Tell my parents that I'll be back tomorrow, so don't call me."
"What about your family? The door is blocked now. I never knew you had so many relatives and friends..."
Li Yuan: “…”
"Don't even mention you. I don't even know if I have any relatives."
Li Yuan's family situation is rather special. His grandfather and his father are the only children, which was very rare in that era, so he did not have many uncles and aunts.
There was nothing special about his mother's side, a bunch of addicted gamblers. After his grandparents passed away, they rarely interacted with him, otherwise he would not have failed to recognize Qin Si when he saw her.
He had hardly even heard any news from the relatives there, such as Qin Si's parents.
What good end can a gambler have ?
Now it is possible that all of them will fail.
"Hubby...I miss you..."
"I see you don't want to stay at home?"
"No, no, I really miss you. You must have been very busy during this period. Can I go and reward you?"
Li Yuan thought about it and felt that things at home had been really annoying these days.
Jiang Yiling just wanted his parents, not a bunch of unfamiliar relatives.
"Then I'll ask the driver to pick you up... How about this, let's pick up our parents as well."
"What about grandpa and grandma?"
"It's okay, it's okay. My grandparents are old. Even if they took advantage of those people, it's useless to eat them. No one dares to ask for an explanation."
Generally, gifts are given to those who are in charge of the family. What's the point of giving gifts to old men and women?
It can only be pure filial piety.
Either you are not filial, or being filial is natural and right. Li Yuan is not afraid at all.
"Then I'll tell my parents and go to my grandfather's house for dinner tonight."
"OK."
After Li Yuan hung up the phone, he started to make arrangements.
First, you need to prepare some daily necessities, such as bed sheets and quilts, because there are no extra ones where you live.
The next step is to finish some things.
For example, if Chen Jie suddenly ran in, her parents would beat her to death.
He had originally wanted to go to Shu Yanlin's place tonight... because Shu Yanlin had just finished her exams and was officially on vacation.
It's still about three hours before my parents come over.
Let’s meet the deadline!
