Chapter 514 The Richest Man in the World(1/2)
Up to now, Li Yuan has lost count of the number of companies he owns. There are at least hundreds of companies in which he has joint shares and shares. Not to mention, there are also companies that have indirect shares through his subsidiaries.
Those ones.
Currently, we only count the companies we control, which are mainly listed companies, or quasi-listed companies that are about to IPO. There are twenty to thirty such companies, and they also form a huge network across various industries.
To be honest, it is not unusual for the family foundations of well-established families at home and abroad to invest in multiple fields and participate in hundreds of companies in various industries, countries, and regions.
But that’s stock participation!
The companies that can truly hold a controlling stake are, at most, the core companies of the family, and will never expand to the entire field.
But Li Yuan is different. Through the continuous penetration of the Internet, he has expanded like an octopus. Unknowingly, he has expanded to an unimaginable extent.
Among these companies, let’s not talk about strategic investments in joint stock participation. Those privatized companies that have not been listed are also put aside for the time being.
The first is traditional industries.
Among traditional enterprises, the core leading stocks are definitely Yeshan Qingquan and Yuanshishi.
In the growth of total market capitalization, Metaverse... is just like that. It doesn't have that many outstanding performances, but it has picked up a little recently.
As the domestic film market began to take off, and video-on-demand websites began to rise, those good things that Yuan Universe had collected before slowly began to show value.
There is also the Wild World Theme Park. The continuous improvement of domestic consumption power has also brought huge cash flow.
In other words, it used to be a lightning protection period to avoid the cold winter caused by the proliferation of piracy. Now it has become a harvest period, both for copyrights and theme parks, and the market has begun to pursue them.
But having said that, it is slowly recovering. Reflected on the stock market, the growth rate of stock prices is not very fast.
Therefore, among the core companies that Li Yuan relies on, Metaverse should be considered the most famous, but its total market value is not that great, and it can be considered the least eye-catching one.
As for Yeshan Qingquan? And the series of companies that Yeshan Qingquan spun off and listed?
It should be said that in the domestic beverage, food, catering and other markets, these companies have gradually established a firm foothold and have a place.
You know, although it is only a small part, how huge is the domestic market? If you take a percentage, it is a big market of tens of billions or hundreds of billions!
Therefore, Yeshan Qingquan and its related stocks have maintained a steady growth along with the take-off of the domestic economy.
There is no such thing as soaring into the sky, nor that kind of big ups and downs. It is just a slow and steady progress.
Don't tell me, progressing at such an average speed is beyond the reach of most stocks. And through the appreciation in the past few years, the market value of Li Yuan's stocks has reached 14 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, Li Yuan understands very well that even the current market value is absolutely underestimated. In the future, there will be further growth and even several times.
Not to mention the other bits and pieces, just a sales and logistics network for agricultural products and seafood all over the world hides huge wealth in a low-key way.
For other multinational grain and oil companies, their biggest headache is the sales market.
But for Li Yuan, this is not a problem at all. As long as he can control the domestic market, no matter how many good things he has, he can sell them.
Do you really think that the big foodie empire is vegetarian?
…
Then there are those other core companies:
Sanzuwu Drone Drone Company. In the recent Wall Street valuation, relying on the good performance of Somersault Cloud Drone, the latest valuation has reached US$7.8 billion.
When it comes to this valuation, sometimes it is not the most accurate.
According to the company's equity structure, Li Yuan owns 99.5% of its equity, and the remaining 0.5% belongs to his mother Zhang Zhen. This is nothing more than the legal requirements for joint-stock companies in the Enterprise Law.
In other words, it is almost equivalent to Li Yuan’s full ownership of this company.
But in terms of the company's incentive system, Li Yuan took out 99% of the equity as a stock for employees at all levels?
That's pretty much what it means: Those employees don't own those stocks, but they can enjoy the dividends from the stocks.
Therefore, the real valuation is difficult to calculate. Both algorithms are feasible.
Phoenix New Energy also has no IPO plan, but it is also one of the unicorn companies that Wall Street is optimistic about. Its valuation is as high as US$8.6 billion, of which Li Yuan holds 87% of the shares.
In fact, Wall Street's valuation is on the low side. Because there are several Zhuque photovoltaic power plants, their fixed assets have not yet been taken into account.
Although foreign countries have canceled new energy subsidies and conducted antitrust investigations into photovoltaic products against Chinese companies including Phoenix New Energy.
There seems to be a lot of bad news.
However, photovoltaic products are updated very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the cost may drop significantly, and a new generation of products has also been released.
So it becomes very funny. In the case of anti-monopoly investigation and litigation, photovoltaic products have been changed for several generations. Those off-market tricks of foreign manufacturers are simply useless?
What’s even more ridiculous is that before the antitrust investigation has ended, domestic photovoltaic manufacturers have been involved in internal affairs, and foreign manufacturers have been involved in it. In the end, even the plaintiffs are dead?
In this field, Phoenix New Energy has occupied a dominant position.
Speaking of Qinglong Automobile.
After the patent was disclosed, Qinglong Automobile experienced a sharp decline for a period of time. However, with the launch of the Mirage generation, it received a good response in the market.
Especially after the patent was disclosed, manufacturers from various countries have taken the initiative to promote charging piles. Mainly China and the United States, which even provide a lot of subsidies in terms of policies.
The continuous popularization of charging piles has stimulated the sales of electric vehicles. If the whole cake gets bigger, then Qinglong Motors will definitely get a big piece of it.
Of course, the initial investment scale of automobile manufacturers is too large. In the initial stage, long-term money burning cannot be avoided.
But at least there is hope, giving investors a wonderful space for imagination.
As a result, Qinglong Automobile's stock price began to rebound, and its total market value has risen to more than 2 billion US dollars. Li Yuan's direct and indirect equity ownership is 43%.
In addition, there is a very interesting phenomenon. The hot sales of electronic products such as drones and cleaning robots, coupled with the opening up of Qinglong Automobile, have caused the sales of Nanfu Battery to also surge, and the stock price has also skyrocketed.
Currently, Nanfu Battery is one of the few high-quality blue-chip stocks in the domestic securities market. Its total market value has exceeded 300 billion yuan. Among them, Li Yuan owns 12.3% of the equity, which is almost 40 billion!
Maybe this is the fragrance inside the wall and the fragrance outside the wall!
Finally, there is the Xiaolu mobile phone.
In terms of the ownership structure of Xiaolu Mobile, Li Yuan does not live alone. He personally owns only 22% of the shares, and most of them are distributed to other domestic groups with energy and background.
But the emergence of smartphones has suddenly overturned the entire mobile phone market. It continues to erode the share of traditional mobile phones.
This market is quite amazing. It has created amazing sales results.
Therefore, in the latest valuation, Xiaolu Mobile has been successfully valued at 500 billion soft sister coins.
Yes! This time Li Yuan chose the domestic Shenzhen Stock Exchange. And it is about to IPO, hoping to achieve good performance...
…
Finally, there are Li Yuan’s core industries—several Internet listed companies.
Parallel Line Technology in the United States has been diluting and reducing its holdings, and Li Yuan's equity has dropped to 6.8%. However, Parallel Line Technology has been growing well, and its current total market value is about to exceed US$630 billion.
However, in Li Yuan's plan, he is preparing to further reduce his holdings, hoping to reduce it to less than 5%.
In this way, you can be "invisible" in stock trading, and without attention, you can reduce unnecessary troubles.
By the way, U2, which was spun off from Parallel Line Technology and listed on the market, currently has a total market value of more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. Its growth rate is also astonishing, and it is currently developing a social platform based on smartphones.
Parallel Line (book), the total market value also exceeds 30 trillion yen. And it has become one of the few major Internet companies in the closed markets of Japan and South Korea.
In this company, Li Yuan is also constantly diluting and reducing his holdings. But the speed of reduction is really not fast, and the current equity is still around 12%.
Back to Parabolic Technology in China. In the domestic securities market, this is a company that has created miracles.
The total market capitalization has increased thousands of times and has now reached as much as 3 trillion? To tell a joke, there is no time to even do a split. Parabola's stock price has remained above a thousand yuan.
Especially after the launch of Xirang mobile operating system, it has brought stable main revenue.
Li Yuan has no need to dilute or reduce his holdings in this company. Anyway, this is a major domestic company, so there is no need to do that.
However, when Parabola Technology was financing, Li Yuan also introduced a lot of strategic investors. Therefore, the equity ratio is not high, currently about 14.7%.
…
To be honest, Li Yuan has no interest in calculating his own personal wealth at all. The stock market goes up and down every day, and the real number is around a few million per second. It is impossible to come up with a very accurate data.
Furthermore, there are many industries hidden under water that are not included at all. Only listed companies and unicorn companies are counted. Therefore, the final data is very biased.
But Li Yuan isn't interested, so he can't help others being interested?
This year, the latest global rankings were launched. According to public data, Li Yuan finally topped the throne of the world's richest man with a wealth of US$107.3 billion!
Unlike later, due to the powerful big data, even the rich list has real-time data. Every hour and every minute, the personal wealth data of the rich can be seen at a glance online.
Now there are only a few authoritative wealth lists. They are only released once a year.
So when we saw the results, it caused a global sensation - holy shit! Was the world's richest man actually acquired by a Chinese?
The media and people in various countries are still very familiar with Chinese Li Yuan. After all, there is a lot of news about Li Yuan, and he can look familiar to him from time to time.
But others never expected that Li Yuan would become the richest man in the world in such a short period of time?
In particular, the wealth of this richest man is extremely high:
One is to start from scratch. Without any inheritance or support of family assets, it relies entirely on personal struggle;
One is to be sincerely convinced. No matter how much dirt the outside world throws at him, no one dares to deny that Li Yuan almost always relies on the high-tech industry. Even his first pot of gold came from best-selling books he created.
This is very admirable. It is a reflection of personal talent and talent. You don’t even feel jealous?
The last thing is - US$107.3 billion. This number is really astonishing.
