Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 297 Hurun Report

As early as 1982, Forbes Business Magazine launched the Forbes Rich List for the first time, which had a huge impact around the world.

Since then, the annual Forbes list of the world's billionaires has received close attention around the world.

By 1999, as an ordinary researcher in the magical city of Arthur Andersen, Hurun noticed the rapid development of China.

I began to use my spare time and holidays to read more than 100 newspapers, magazines and announcements and reports of listed companies. With my interest and professional expertise, after several months of hard work, in 2000, Hurun finally released the first report in history. China’s wealth rankings are in line with international standards.

No one cares about who the richest man in his country is, at least when it comes to gossip, people all over the world are the same.

As soon as the first Hurun Rich List came out, the domestic media followed suit and reported that "China's first generation of rich people" was suddenly exposed to the public eye.

"Where do the rich people's money come from?" has become the most heated question among all walks of life.

Of course, some media have questioned the accuracy of its list. Hurun said that the results are currently based on comprehensive calculations based on materials disclosed by various companies, and can only guarantee 60% to 70% accuracy. This list is more important. This reflects an overall trend among the wealthy.

Due to the huge response, Hurun resigned from Anxinda's job the next year, and cleverly arranged for himself the identity of the chief researcher of Forbes China. With the other party's acquiescence, Hurun continued to work hard to expand the number of people on the list to hundreds. scale, and was officially named the Hurun Rich List.

When the ranking was first established, Hurun was unable to contact any of the rich people on the list. Now that it has this official identity and the sensational effect last year, Hurun has been able to meet 1/3 of the rich people on the list. or more people and got in touch with the rich people on the list.

The candidates on the list change frequently every year, especially the candidates for the richest man.

In 02, the richest man was Rong Zhijian of CITIC Pacific, and in 03, the richest man was Ding Lei, whose net worth surged after NetEase went public.

There is a sense of déjà vu as the emperor takes turns to sit in my house this year.

In fact, after receiving a call from Hurun, he went home and took stock of the group's assets with Lin Xiaoran, and found that the other party still had some means and resources. Although there was a certain gap in the estimated assets, overall the difference was not too outrageous. It can be seen that the other party still has some skills.

Chen Hao always thought that Hurun, the founder of the Hurun Rankings, was a compatriot, but he was a little confused when he saw him in real life, and he turned out to be a foreigner.

When he inquired about it, he found out that he was from Luxembourg. He had heard the name, but he had no idea where Luxembourg was or how big it was.

After the meeting, Chen Hao discovered that Hurun, a foreigner, was quite familiar with China. He spoke authentic Mandarin. As soon as they met, Chen Hao was flattered.

What young talents, rising stars in the business world, potential of future business leaders, etc.?

Although Chen Hao also thought so, he was still a little embarrassed to be told so bluntly.

Chen Hao had no interest in the rich list, especially since he accidentally entered the top ten, and he felt ashamed of swimming naked under the blue sky.

"That old Hu, can we discuss it and just improve the ranking a little bit? Last time my ranking was not around 50? This time I just need to move up a few places, 10."

"Mr. Chen, Century Zongheng is a group with such potential. Mr. Chen is so young and handsome. He will definitely become one of the leaders of young business leaders in the future. Exposure in the top ten is also good for your company."

"100."

"Mr. Chen, the Hurun Rich List is the result of our multi-party research and complex calculation formulas. This list is very professional and adheres to the principles of justice, fairness and openness. Your request makes us very happy. It’s difficult to handle”

"300 million!"

"But for us, customers are God. Serving God is also our service purpose. Even if it is difficult, we must do it! God's concerns are our concerns. Let's move forward a few places, from 53 to 46 ? Mr. Chen, what do you think? After all, the company is still developing this year, so the data is more reasonable. What do you think?"

"Sure, that's it, happy cooperation. By the way, who was the richest man last year?"

"Huang Guangyu of Gome Electrical Appliances." It was going to be released anyway. Hurun did not hide it and directly handed the real list to Chen Hao.

Look at the contents of the report.

The wealth of the richest man Huang Guangyu was only 03 billion in 18. Last year, it skyrocketed several times to 105 billion. Chen Hao was secretly shocked when he saw it. With such a huge expansion of assets, there must be some shady capital operation. No wonder you don't join in a few years later. Go in.

No. 2 is Shanda Network, whose capital has expanded rapidly after its listing. Qiao Ge’s financial resources have doubled from 40 billion to 88 billion, and the momentum is also very strong.

Ding Lei has slipped from his position as the richest man, and his finances have even shrunk a bit, from 75 billion to 50 billion, which shows that the stock market is unpredictable.

And he himself, relying on the high concentration of equity in the group, has a net worth of 46 billion, ranking behind Elder Tang's fat wife.

Chen Hao continued to look back, not caring about anything else and only picking out the ones that were familiar to him.

In the future, Che Xiao’s husband Li Zhao will inherit the family business and rank 30th with a wealth of 19 billion.

Wang Chuanfu, who has achieved his dream, is now ranked 31st with a financial fortune of 24 billion.

Baidu Li Yan and belt bomber Xu Jiayin ranked tied for 39th.

Sohu, Zhang·Physics Teacher·Chaoyang and Melatonin Shi Yuzhu are tied for 66th place.

After reading it, Chen Hao returned the report and suddenly felt a little strange. Why was he not far ahead?
When he asked the question and saw the other party showing a mysterious smile without answering, Chen Hao understood instantly. Sure enough, he was far ahead in hiding his clumsiness.
After seeing the other party's understanding, Hurun took out the second report. This is a new list he plans to launch this year, the "Hurun Charity List."

Excitedly describing the meaning of the list to the other party, Hurun told Chen Hao with some expectation on his face that the Century Ji'an Charity Foundation, a charity under the Century Zongheng Group, ranked third, second only to the official Red Cross Foundation and China Charity Federation.

Hurun is looking forward to it, and Chen Hao is even more excited, oh?That's not bad, and it proves that their hard work over the past two years has not been in vain.

"Yeah, it's pretty good. Thank you for your support."

Chen Hao's attitude made Hurun look confused,? ? ?Is this gone?Don’t you want to be demoted?
Seeing that the other party had nothing new, Chen Hao sent the other party away with a few words.

Hurun also gave up when it was good and rushed to his next home non-stop.

Chen Hao saw Hurun's performance just now. In Mandarin, he was still a foreigner after all.

Some people on the rich list want to be glamorous, while others want to keep a low profile and thrive, and he belongs to the latter.

But the charity list is different. Why do rich people desperately donate? First, they want to get psychological comfort after doing too many bad things.

But I want to gain some reputation in society. If anything happens in the future, if I don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, I will at least have a certain immunity.

Either way, it's spending money to eliminate disasters.

Therefore, for them, the higher the ranking on the charity list, the better, which proves the higher the exposure.

For example, Chen Guangbiao, the first philanthropist who later became keen on making high-profile donations.

If it weren't for the semi-official organization above, Chen Hao would even want to spend money to mention it.

After a while, Liu Yonghao from human resources came in, reminded him that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and asked him what he thought about this year's group annual meeting.
