We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

What can you do with a bottle of drink? The answer is that it can give birth to a giant with a market value of tens of billions of dollars.

On November 11, Watson's Beverages went public, bringing another 8-billion-dollar giant in the Hong Kong stock market and a passionate carnival among stock investors.

On the first day of listing, Watsons Beverages exceeded 57 billion Hong Kong dollars and surged 1027%. At the closing market value, the market value was fixed at around billion Hong Kong dollars. The world's largest beverage company by market value was born.

1027 billion Hong Kong dollars, converted into US dollars, it is 131 billion US dollars. This market value far exceeds that of Coca-Cola, which has a recent stock price recovery of US$87 billion, and PepsiCo, whose market value exceeds that of Coca-Cola, exceeding US$104 billion and reaching US$ billion.

No one is surprised that Watsons Beverages has become the largest beverage giant in terms of market value. Financial institutions had already made such predictions before Watsons Beverages went public.

In terms of the share of a single product, Coca-Cola and Pepsi still have the largest market share, but in terms of overall sales, Watsons Beverages is the real leader in terms of share of the beverage market.

Arctic Ocean, Jianlibao, tea series, soda water, fruity drinks, and a 10% stake in Coca-Cola, etc. All products combined far exceed the second place Coca-Cola. It is not surprising that they have such a market value.

However, what is interesting is that the information released after the listing of Watsons Beverages revealed that Luo Nianzhong, who originally was thought by Hong Kong people to be the boss behind Watsons Beverages, only holds 10.6% of the shares in Watsons Beverages, which is still held by the Watsons Group.

As for how many shares Luo Nianzhong holds in the Watsons Group, Hong Kong residents don’t know, and all that is left is speculation.

Among the shareholders of Watsons Beverages, it can be seen that capital occupies an absolute position. The top ten shareholders are all financial institutions that have never been heard of.

The largest individual shareholder is Li Xiang, CEO of Watsons Group, accounting for 0.57% of the shares.

"Are you starting to hide your wealth now? I read the newspapers recently, and your Asia Media has made a big deal about this matter.

Some say that the Watsons Group's efforts to attract funds for expansion led to the reduction of your shares, and some say that when Watsons became independent it was because it brought in more external shareholders.

The most exaggerated statement is that you have lost the right to speak over the Watson Group. The Watson Group has been controlled by capital, and the spinoff of the Far East Group is also the best proof.

Now even an old man like me wants to know how much of this capital is yours, or how many shares you have left.”

"Uncle Huo, you are not a person who likes to care about these things. Wouldn't it be better if even you were confused? It means I am successful, right?"

It's no wonder that Huo Daheng was confused. If we only count the shares of Watsons Group and the shares of financial institutions that have heard of it from shareholders and know that it is Luo Family Industry, Luo Nianzhong's shareholding in Watsons Beverages is less than 20%.

There are investment institutions such as Asia Capital and Korean Capital that are well hidden, and there are also many people like Barclays who don't know that Luo Nianzhong is the largest shareholder behind it.

You must know that the shareholding ratio of Far Eastern Bank when it acquired Barclays was not high. For example, several banks in California did not know about it at all.

In recent years, one of the things Robert has done most is to let these financial investment institutions cross shareholdings. How crazy is it? If a company like Far East Bank is investigated one day, it could involve thousands of holding companies.

Exaggeration? not at all.

Not to mention other things, take the familiar Xiaoxing Group as an example. The Li family alone has nearly a hundred shareholding companies related to Xiaoxing Group, not to mention the giants on Wall Street.

Not to mention that you can't find a lot of shareholder information, but what if you can find it? Does this mean you have found the mastermind behind it? Big mistake.

The money in those companies is only managed by them. As for whose money is managed, sorry, this is customer privacy.

Luo Nianzhong is the same now. Not to mention the dizzying shareholders behind Far East Bank, the real money is in several private equity funds established by Far East Bank.

For example, in the listing of Watsons Beverages, three private equity funds under Far East Bank are among the top fifteen shareholders of Watsons Beverages, and two of them are still among the top ten shareholders.

Isn’t it messy? In fact, this is clear, and it will only become more confusing in the future.

Otherwise, a family office needs a top-level financial team with thousands of people? Robert is still searching for and testing various talents.

This time Luo Nianzhong and Huo Daheng sat together, not to reminisce about old times, but because Huo Daheng was persuading Luo Nianzhong to do something he didn't want to participate in.

The situation in the Middle East has been tense for the past ten years, mainly due to the ambitions of Iran, Iran, and especially Shadamu.

In January, a Persian monkey attacked Riyadh, the capital of Camel. This made Camel feel deeply in crisis and began to seek to purchase a super monkey to improve its ability to fight and resist in order to protect itself.

The first thing that came to Da Luotuo's mind was the beautiful country, and he wanted to buy the spear-stringed sky monkey from the beautiful country.

However, the beautiful country rejected Big Camel's request, fearing that it would cause dissatisfaction in Israel and surrounding countries.

The big camel had no choice but to shift its target to another superpower, the polar bear. However, the polar bear has a close relationship with Iran and Iraq, and did not want to make the situation in the Middle East more tense and refused.

The big camel who was in trouble thought of the third monkey country, the rabbit. However, the big camel and the rabbit have not yet officially established diplomatic relations, and there is no way to contact the rabbit. In the end, they found Luo Nianzhong.

In July, Daluotuo suddenly approached Honor Computer and immediately placed a large order of US$7 million to install computer classrooms in Daluotuo's schools.

At the same time, on the Rolls-Royce side, Camel also ordered 20 cars to receive foreign guests.

However, when these two big orders were placed, the other party, Honor Computer and Rolls-Royce all made a request, that is, they wanted to meet Luo Nianzhong.

Luo Nianzhong received the report and agreed that there must be something going on.

So when Luo Nianzhong was in Europe, Prince Bandar, the nephew of King Camel, personally flew to Paris to have a secret and brief meeting with Luo Nianzhong.

The two parties only met for ten minutes. After understanding that the other party wanted to connect them with Rabbit through himself, Luo Nianzhong agreed to the other party and left.

After returning, Luo Nianzhong told Huo Daheng about the matter and stopped interfering. Unexpectedly, Huo Daheng found him today and asked him to come forward to host the negotiation on behalf of Rabbit.

"Uncle Huo, I don't understand why a businessman like me should be in charge of this kind of thing."

"The country needs foreign exchange. This time Big Camel's request has been agreed to by the superiors. It needs a business representative to strive for greater interests and avoid suffering losses."

Luo Nianzhong frowned, "I remember that Poly Technology was established last year to do this, right? Didn't it also introduce the Black Hawk from the beautiful country?"

This is not a reason. This argument cannot be explained by Luo Nianzhong.

Huo Daheng laughed, took a sip of tea and put down the cup, "That's the reason, but I recommended you here."

"Why?" Luo Nianzhong was even more confused.

"Because you are a patriotic person."
