Chapter 993 Making a Killing

To ask what kind of experience it is to become the world's richest man.

Su Yehao could only say that a big tree attracts the wind. Seemingly infinitely glorious, it is also extremely dangerous. Life is not as comfortable as when he was the second richest man.

Take the birth of Jiang Yu's little daughter, for example, which caused a stir in the outside world.

After people argued about the issue of favoring sons over daughters and gender discrimination, a women's organization in Europe jumped out to accuse Su Yehao of having too many girlfriends and not respecting them enough.

Having many girlfriends is a fact, and he couldn't even quibble about being caught with this little pigtail.

After the quarrel here, there was trouble there, and after the quarrel there, there was also trouble here.

Forced Su Yehao to become more and more low-key, rarely going out on weekdays, and rarely using his personal account to post messages, almost disappearing from everyone's sight.

As the world's richest man, it is not easy to be down-to-earth. Fortunately, Su Yehao doesn't really care about the opinions of the outside world. It is also very good to live behind closed doors. While continuing to work hard at home, he spends more time with his girls and children, relaxing and enjoying life.

Along with the increase in assets, a new round of asset allocation optimization has begun. For example, Yanwenzi Group acquired Blizzard Games, Google acquired and merged several companies, and there are also investments in photovoltaic, high-speed rail, hydropower stations and other projects. Big moves are coming one after another, which is dazzling.

Although the business has grown, Su Yehao's views on these projects are very different from when he first started his business in the 1990s. It is difficult to feel the excitement again, and it is also difficult to devote himself to it wholeheartedly.

If it weren't for the fact that there are still some ideals and ambitions that have not been realized, Su Yehao would sometimes wonder what is the use of continuing to earn so much money, anyway, normal expenses cannot be spent.

Someone once said that wealth is just a string of numbers in an account, and he has indeed reached this level.

It may be beaten if said, but Su Yehao is indeed numb from making money...

June 15, 2005.

Together with Jiang Yu, he took his daughter to eat at the seaside villa in Cyberport. Master Jiang found a chef from outside, saying that he wanted to celebrate their entry into a new stage of life.

After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Yu sat on the sofa holding the computer and said angrily:

"It's simply a profiteer. In order to force people to buy the new operating system, Microsoft is going to stop providing technical support for the Windows 2000 operating system. There is a lot of data in my old computer, so wouldn't it be easy to get a virus in the future."

Su Yehao calmly replied:

"There is a planned obsolescence system. Money-making companies do this, all over the automotive, home appliance, medical, consumer electronics and other industries. I heard that there used to be a light bulb brand that was of such good quality that it wouldn't break no matter how you used it. After a wave of buying climax, it went bankrupt because it had no customers."

"To put it bluntly, they still want to make money." Jiang Yu said.

Master Jiang waved his hand with a smile:

"It is indeed to make money, but in the past, everyone was careful and careful, and a kitchen knife could be used for decades, and the economy did not become prosperous. Everyone buys, buys, buys, so that the business can be better and better. Oh, by the way, Ahao, I saw a message in the newspaper that the North is discussing decoupling from the US dollar. Will this matter have any impact on you?"

Su Yehao's face was red. Tonight, they drank Yanghe Daqu from Yanghe Distillery. This distillery is now jointly financed by him and 5s Capital, and it has won about 35% of the shares in one fell swoop, and the prospect is very good.

Because the taste of the wine is mellow, he drank a little more just now, and the alcohol is rising.

He smiled and replied to Master Jiang:

"It's okay. Once the RMB is decoupled from the US dollar, my assets in the mainland will probably rise, but the corresponding debts will also increase. Too much money is borrowed from the bank, and it will have to be repaid in the future."

"However, I am confident in those assets. Overall, decoupling is a good thing, at least for me."

"Those small bosses who sell primary products are probably going to feel the pain for a while. A group of countries led by the old Americans, in order to sell products to the mainland and reduce the mainland's foreign trade market share, will probably take the initiative to put pressure and force the RMB to appreciate..."

Su Yehao spoke slowly.

Master Jiang, who could understand every sentence, felt confused after listening.

In order to avoid appearing too stupid and losing face in front of his son-in-law,

Master Jiang put on a look of sudden realization and said:

"So that's how it is, anyway, it's fine as long as you don't suffer. In the past, your father's business was not large, and I could help you with ideas, but now your business is too exaggerated, and my mind is obviously a little insufficient. I can't give you any other advice. Now I just hope you all have a happy life."

Su Yehao smiled and said, "Of course, Jiang Yu has such a good temper, I will definitely take good care of her and the baby."

Jiang Yu glared at him, with a smile on her lips, rubbed her arms and said:

"I'm getting goosebumps all over. If you usually make me angry less, I'll be grateful. I didn't realize it when I was helping Nangong take care of the child before. I only realized when I had my own child that taking care of the baby is really tiring. I don't want to take care of you again."

"What are you tired of? Two confinement nannies and a nanny are all helping you. You haven't even changed diapers since the child was born, right? I haven't wronged you."

Hearing Su Yehao's words, Jiang Yu smiled awkwardly and said stubbornly:

"It's psychological fatigue, you don't understand. I'll be worried when the baby coughs, and I have to look at her at night to sleep peacefully. It's not like you, who fall asleep as soon as you hit the pillow and sleep until dawn."

Master Jiang smiled and interjected:

"It will be fine after you get used to it for a while. Hong Kong Disneyland will open soon. You can go there to relax. The confinement nanny is more experienced than your daughter. There is no need to worry too much."

Hong Kong Disneyland is about to open. Su Yehao saw it when he was taking a plane. The facilities inside are basically in place, and the subway has also been built there.

At this moment, Jiang Yu asked curiously: "Brother Hao, you love investing the most. There are so many tourists in Hong Kong, why haven't I heard you mention investing in Disneyland?"

"...The Hong Kong government holds more than half of the shares, and Disneyland is not short of money, so no one asked me to reach out for money."

Su Yehao is not interested in investing in amusement parks. In his eyes, this business lacks core competitiveness. Most tourists often only go once, which is a one-shot deal.

At present, businesses with technology monopolies, policy monopolies, and resource monopolies are his favorite to get involved in. For example, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, which others are not optimistic about, has a designed life of up to 100 years. As long as the cost management is done well during the period, there is an opportunity for a long-term, steady stream of income, bringing him huge profits.

The areas that should be laid out have almost been involved. As long as the business at hand is done well, let alone a lifetime of worry-free food and clothing, ten lifetimes will be enough.

What others are worried about is not being able to make money, but Su Yehao is worried about his net worth rising too fast.

Since this year.

His total net worth has risen by nearly 160 billion US dollars, and there is still a bit of a trend that it cannot be stopped.

This means that when Forbes' new list starts to be compiled in the second half of the year, Su Yehao has the opportunity to become the first person in modern history to have more than 100 billion US dollars in wealth...
