Chapter 479: Hurun Rich List Released
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yiming called Lin Shuyi again and told her about Orange Telecom.
Lin Shuyi had also secretly bought a lot of Orange Telecom shares before, but she was not as brave as Lu Yiming, and this time she only made less than 10 billion in profit.
But even so, after receiving the news, Lin Shuyi was still happy in her heart, with a big smile on her face: "It worked again? This is another windfall. It seems that your vision is really accurate."
Lu Yiming said confidently: "If you make money, remember to give me a share of the commission. Otherwise, next time there is such a good thing, I won't count it as your share."
Lin Shuyi lazily replied, "I see. You are really obsessed with money. It's as if I owe you money every day."
Lu Yiming chuckled and said, "This is business, I'm mainly worried that you will forget it when you are happy."
This is not the first time the two have worked together. For transactions like this where one can make free money from the stock market, Lu Yiming is happy to bring his allies along for the ride.
It can not only make money, but also consolidate the alliance of interests between the two parties, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Afterwards, Lu Yiming reminded Lin Shuyi, "Remember to make a fortune quietly, don't be too high-profile. After all, we are fleecing Li Chaoren this time, and he holds a grudge. Be careful that if the matter is exposed, neither of us will have a good ending."
Lin Shuyi was a little annoyed by Lu Yiming's nagging, and snorted in dissatisfaction: "I know, do I still need you to remind me of this kind of thing?"
Hong Kong, Deep Water Bay luxury mansion, Li family.
Li Kai and his son Li Chaoren were half lying in the yard, tasting wine and chatting.
"Dad, congratulations. We made hundreds of billions from this deal. We have firmly secured our position as the richest man in Asia, leaving Li Zhaoji far behind."
Li Chaoren happily accepted Li Kai's congratulations and raised his glass: "Chelsea!"
"Chels!"
The father and son clinked their glasses, drank the wine in one gulp, and laughed at each other.
But before Li Chaoren could be happy for long, his phone rang.
"Why are you calling at this time? Don't you know I'm taking a break?"
Li Chaoren frowned slightly, but still picked up the phone.
The call was from Zhou Kaixuan, who said in a hurried tone, "There's news from Europe that Lu Yiming used Future Capital to get at least 2 billion from us in the Orange Telecom deal."
Li Chaoren, who was originally very happy, now had a face as black as a casserole.
He worked so hard to till the soil, water the crops, and apply fertilizer, but when he came to pick the fruits, some of them were taken away by others?
Although I didn't pick much, I still felt very unhappy.
Li Kai saw that Li Chaoren looked unhappy after answering the phone, so he quickly asked, "Dad, what happened?"
Li Chaoren recounted what Zhou Kaixuan had said on the phone.
When Li Kai heard this, he immediately became angry.
"Lu Yiming again? We must teach him a lesson this time, otherwise he will really not take our Li family seriously."
Li Chaoren did not speak, but slowly lay down on the back of the chair, obviously acquiescing to Li Kai's actions. He was also very unhappy with Lu Yiming, a young man who "did not distinguish between superiors and inferiors", and wanted to teach him a lesson.
Li Kai said, "I'll find someone to put the story in the newspaper. Didn't Lu Yiming quietly take advantage of us? I'll make sure he can't keep a low profile and put him on the fire."
In the teahouse.
Gao Yousi was having afternoon tea with some business partners.
"Lao Gao, how is the market going recently? I see you still have time to drink tea, you must have made a lot of money, right?"
A short and fat investor pinched his fingers and stuffed a piece of macaron cake into his mouth.
His name is Ma Pengbo, and he has a good relationship with Gao Yousi.
Gao Yousi was very proud in his heart, but he said modestly: "No, no, I only made tens of millions, not much."
At the last banquet, Gao Yousi and several big bosses of private equity funds secretly joined forces to manipulate the market and created a monster stock, and they had a lot of fun cutting leeks in the stock market. In just half a month, they made hundreds of millions of dollars, and he himself also received a profit of 50 million, which can be said to be a huge profit.
Ma Pengbo couldn't help but feel a little envious and said, "Lao Gao, you have now squeezed into the top circle of Zhonghai, right?"
Wei Dong, this fierce dragon from across the river, came to Zhonghai, not only bringing with him a huge amount of capital, but the power behind him should not be underestimated. He can be said to have stirred up the situation and gained a great reputation.
He is the most prominent figure in the entire China Overseas business community.
How can people not be envious of Gao Yousi for being able to enter this circle?
Gao Yousi said modestly: "It's just that I just stepped into the door. It's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
Ma Pengbo continued, "By the way, have you heard? Li Chaoren has made a lot of money recently. People say he is 'picking sweet oranges with his deft hands', an operation that is worthy of being written into a classic case in economics or marketing."
Gao Yousi said with emotion: "To do business, you still have to learn from real bosses like Li Chaoren."
Although he made some money by investing in monster stocks with others, compared with Li Chaoren's operation, it was nothing but a drop in the bucket.
Ma Pengbo also looked respectful and said, "Yes, they made hundreds of billions in one deal. In comparison, ours is just a small matter."
As the two were expressing their feelings, Gao Yousi received a call from his subordinates.
"Mr. Gao, the latest Hurun Rich List has been released. Come and take a look."
Gao Yousi didn't react for a moment: "Is it released again so soon?"
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yousi said to Ma Pengbo: "The latest Hurun Rich List has been released."
He waved his hand and called a waiter, saying, "Go downstairs and buy me a recent financial magazine or newspaper that has the Hurun Rich List published."
Ma Pengbo smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, are you on the list? Congratulations."
Gao Yousi is very self-aware and said with a wry smile: "I am not on any list. I just heard that there is an important latest news, so I bought it to read it. It can be regarded as collecting intelligence in advance. After all, in our line of work, we still have to deal with rich people in the end."
Although he made some money, it was nothing compared to those real big guys.
After a while, the waiter bought the magazine back.
Gao Yousi took the magazine and suddenly his face changed drastically. He blurted out: "How is it possible!?"
"What's wrong?"
Ma Pengbo didn't understand why Gao Yousi reacted so strongly.
"Look at this."
Gao Yousi directly showed the magazine cover to Ma Pengbo.
Ma Pengbo took one look and blurted out, "Hey, is this the Lu Yiming you mentioned?"
《Ten Billionaires! The Youngest Ten Billionaire in History is Born!》
"Changes in the ranking of the Hurun Rich List! The old king abdicates, and the new king ascends the throne! The richest man in Xia Country turns out to be him!"
"Earning 6 billion in eight months, the business secrets of the new richest man"
The sensational headlines hit the two people in the face, making their heads feel as if they were hit by a sledgehammer. They were completely dizzy and could not recover for a long time.
Gao Yousi, in particular, turned pale when he saw the young, handsome, confident and calm smiling face on the cover of the Hurun Rich List magazine.
"How could it be him? Why is it him?!"
Wei Dong had just woken up from his lunch break when Chen Jinxia handed him a stack of the latest magazines and newspapers: "I heard that the latest issue of the Hurun Rich List has been released. Would you like to take a look?"
Wei Dong rubbed his eyes, yawned, and said disdainfully: "This list has no credibility. The truly powerful and wealthy people will not be on the list at all."
Chen Jinxia sighed and said, "Although what you said is very right, I still suggest you take a look at the content above."
"Well, show it to me."
Wei Dong took the magazine and was shocked after taking a look at the list.
"Earning 6 billion in 8 months, worth 10 billion? And more than half of the assets are in cash?"
Are you kidding?
Even if you have a money printing machine at home, you can't make so much money, right?
Then, he also saw Lu Yiming's smiling face on the cover, which was full of confidence and vigor, and he suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Wei Dong has always considered himself a genius, but even he knows that money is not so easy to make.
But Lu Yiming's existence completely shattered his imagination. Among the younger generation, no one could match his ability to make money.
Even Wei Dong had to admit that he was no match for Lu Yiming.
After all, the success of his Yongjin System was largely due to the use of leverage and the reliance on the forces behind him.
But Lu Yiming is different. He really fights alone in the stock market, and makes money from the stock markets in Europe and the United States. This makes those people in the domestic financial circle who are only able to bully others in their own backyard surpass him.
Lu Yiming had just attended classes for the entire morning, two full classes, and he was so dizzy.
At twelve o'clock, the class was over, Lu Yiming walked out of the classroom, and prepared to go out for dinner with his roommates.
Before he walked down the teaching building, his cell phone rang. He thought it was Shi Qingxue calling, but when he looked at the number, it turned out to be someone else. After answering the call, he found out it was Guo Guangchang calling.
"Brother Lu, this is really too much, isn't it?"
Lu Yiming was confused and asked, "Senior, where did you get this from?"
Guo Guangchang laughed and scolded: "You kid are still pretending to be stupid in front of me? You've even been on the cover of a magazine."
Lu Yiming was even more confused: "What magazine cover?"
The smile on Guo Guangchang's face froze: "You really don't know?"
Lu Yiming said depressedly: "What do I know?"
Guo Guangchang said: "The Hurun Rich List has been updated. Congratulations, brother, on becoming the new richest man in mainland China. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep a low profile in the days ahead."
"What? The new richest man in mainland China?"
Hearing these words, Lu Yiming felt his whole body numb, from head to toe.
"I'm hanging up first."
Lu Yiming hung up the phone directly and asked Zhao Tiezhu to buy a few newspapers and send them over.
In the dormitory, Lu Yiming looked at himself with a bright smile on the cover of the magazine and felt like crying but had no tears.
"Mary, is Hurun going to get angry with me? He put my photo on the cover this time. Is he afraid that I'm not famous enough?"
If killing people was not against the law, Lu Yiming guaranteed that he would be on his way to find Hu Run with a knife in hand.
"Hold!"
At this moment, Lu Yiming had no place to vent his depressed mood.
Then, he thought that Hurun was instructed by the Li family to create the Hurun Rich List just for him.
This second year’s list directly put him on the cover.
There is no doubt that this must be another request from the Li family.
After all, the main benefit during this period was to fleece the Li family.
"Did the Li family know about this?"
Lu Yiming couldn't help scratching his head.
Now that things have come to this, it is useless to think too much. Lu Yiming already has a premonition that he may be recognized at any time when he goes out in the future.
He plans to get a hat, a pair of sunglasses, and a mask. All three pieces are complete when he goes out!
Ni Cong had just gotten off the bed and was surprised to see Lu Yiming on the cover of the magazine. He picked up the magazine and flipped through it, then shouted, "Fuck, Lu Yiming, you're the richest man in Xia Country? Wait, aren't you a second-generation rich? You're a first-generation rich!"
Lu Yiming just lay down and accepted the reality: "I just found out about it too."
He turned on his computer and visited the official website of the Hurun Rich List. He felt a little depressed when he read the news that mentioned his great gains in the stock markets in Europe and North America.
It is said that one can make a fortune in silence, but now he has been exposed to the sun.
Although the money comes from a clean source, others are jealous of it.
A gentleman is innocent unless he possesses a treasure!
"This is trouble."
Sure enough, not long after, Li Yiwen called to inquire about this matter.
"Have you read the latest issue of the Hurun Report?"
Lu Yiming said weakly: "Just finished watching it."
Li Yiwen's tone revealed confusion: "Something is wrong. How did the Chinese know about your investment in the US stock market? Could it be that we are being targeted? It's obvious that they want to hold you in the crossfire. Who do you think did this?"
After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yiming said, "It's probably Li Chaoren. He's the only one who has the motivation and the ability."
Li Yiwen was a little bit incredulous: "Could it be because of the acquisition of Orange Telecom?"
Lu Yiming said gloomily, "What else? If you were the one being fleeced, would you be angry?"
"Too."
Li Yiwen felt helpless. He had thought that he would displease Li Chaoren, but he had never thought that the retaliation would come so quickly and so suddenly, leaving him unprepared.
After the incident was exposed, Li Yiwen couldn't help but worry about Lu Yiming: "What are you going to do next?"
"Just leave it alone, what else can I do? I plan to go out and buy a house to live in."
It has to be said that when you are famous you are prone to gossip.
Suddenly becoming the richest man completely disrupted Lu Yiming's rhythm and pace. Although he was aiming for the position of the richest man, he still wanted to enjoy his leisurely college life first.
However, things never go as planned, and unexpected changes force him to make changes. If he still stays in school, his dormitory door will probably be broken.
The changes in the rankings of the Hurun Rich List will first affect the small group of richest people in mainland China.
"Lao Liang, have you heard? The richest man in our Xia country has changed!"
"Changed? Wasn't it still President Rong last year?"
"Not now!"
"Impossible? The Rong family is an old business family, known as the Red Capital. Could it be surpassed by a rising star?"
"Hey, that's all old news. Times have changed. No matter how powerful the Rong family is, they can only make money in China. To put it bluntly, they are just cutting their own leeks. But our new richest man has a different situation. He is invincible in the US stock market and all the money he makes is in US dollars."
These days, Yang Baiwan, the first generation stock god in China, has not yet abdicated.
Yang Baiwan is a nickname given to him by others. His real name is Huaiding. He is an employee of Zhonghai Ferroalloy Factory. In 1988, he earned his first pot of gold by trading treasury bonds that were ignored by the market and became famous. Later, he became one of the first major securities investors in Zhonghai and a hot figure in the stock market. His story was even widely reported by media around the world, including Time Magazine and Newsweek in the United States. In 1998, he was named "The Figure of the Year in the 20 Years of Reform and Opening Up in China" by CCTV.
However, such a veteran in the stock market is far inferior to Lu Yiming.
In just half a year, Lu Yiming's assets more than doubled, breaking through the 10 billion mark.
Of this, 2 billion was earned by following Li Chaoren and buying Orange Telecom stocks at a bargain price, but the remaining 4 billion was all earned from U.S. stocks.
Because the Nasdaq is so crazy right now, Lu Yiming made $200 million from Red Hat, a company famous for developing Red Hat Linux, in August alone.
Red Hat's stock is listed on the NASDAQ, and its share price soared 482% on the day of listing on August 11!
There are many similar stocks. Basically, all the stocks bought by Lu Yiming have risen sharply. Now that they are exposed, how can people not be shocked?
People in the Zhonghai financial circle were all waiting to see Gao Yousi make a fool of himself.
"This guy is really blind. He previously questioned whether Mr. Lu's vision was not big enough and his investment vision was not long enough. Is he stupid now?"
"No wonder he lost so badly. With his character and vision, it would be unreasonable for him not to lose."
"It seems that the rice capital has reached its limit in his hands. It is obvious that he has ruined all the profitable businesses."
With Gao Yousi's bad temper, he has offended many people in the circle. In the past, everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. Now that they see that he has hit a wall, they suddenly begin to gloat over his misfortune.
In comparison, Lu Yiming's reputation among them was rising at a rocket-like speed.
"The richest man under 30, and self-made, I never dreamed that such a thing would happen."
"In Xia Country's stock market, only Mr. Lu is the real stock god."
People in the financial circle also feel proud of it. After all, the richest people in the past all came from industrial backgrounds. The Rong family is the best example. The second-ranked Liu Yongxing is also a famous feed king in Shu.
As for the financial industry, no one has reached the top in Xia Country.
But the person who now sits on the throne of the richest man is not only young, but also makes his fortune mainly by buying and selling stocks. This has made the entire domestic financial circle boil and boosted morale.
At this moment, Lu Yiming was directly deified and became the recognized stock god of Xia Country by domestic financial practitioners.
