Chapter 415 Rich List

The dining location was arranged at Fook Lam Moon Restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui.

This restaurant, which has nothing to do with selling oil, is quite famous in Hong Kong and is known as the "Canteen for the Rich."

It's perfectly normal to encounter celebrities or big bosses from various companies when dining at this restaurant. Although there are many high-end restaurants in Hong Kong, only a few can compare with Fook Lam Moon.

To put it exaggeratedly, it is one of the ceilings of Cantonese cuisine in Hong Kong.

The restaurant mainly serves many sky-high-priced ingredients, including abalone, shark fin, and fish maw. Even if you only order some ordinary dishes, the average cost per person is over six hundred dollars.

Su Yehao booked a private room in the afternoon and ordered a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish for over thirty thousand dollars.

Simmered slowly over a low fire for three or four hours, it was served just in time for dinner. Don't think this price is expensive, the fish maw inside is sold by the tael, one tael is eight thousand dollars, and it is often out of stock, so you can't even eat it if you want to.

When Su Yehao brought Nangong Tian to the private room at Fook Lam Moon Restaurant.

His parents were already staring at each other, and the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward. There was no sign of Su's so-called "reconciliation" anywhere.

The little girl greeted them cautiously, wearing a Dior little black dress, as demure as could be.

Tang's mother had met Nangong Tian many times and saw that she had a good relationship with Su Yehao, so she regarded the little girl as half a daughter-in-law.

The reason why it was only half was because she felt that the relationship between young people was not solid, and maybe they would break up one day.

Similar situations were common, so Tang's mother didn't dare to be 100% sure. At least until she gave birth to a child surnamed Su, or really waited for Su Yehao to marry her into the family, she couldn't be regarded as family.

However, Nangong Tian's emotional intelligence was high, and she also made efforts to please the two elders. Both Su's father and Tang's mother liked her very much.

After exchanging polite greetings, they asked the waiter to hurry up and serve the dishes.

Su Yehao asked for a bottle of Romanée-Conti red wine, priced at twenty-two thousand, and also asked for a bottle of Moutai liquor, saying that he wanted to celebrate and have a drink with his father.

Subconsciously rubbing his stomach, Su's father said speechlessly: "What's there for us two to drink? Recently, whether I go to Fochuan, Guangzhou, or Pengcheng, people arrange banquets for me. I've really had a bit too much to drink. Why am I still being arranged for it when I come back? Moutai is very spicy."

Su Yehao said with a smile: "I've lived in the United States for so long, I want to get myself drunk to adjust to the time difference. You drink two taels, and the rest is mine."

Hearing this, his father agreed and said with a smile:

"Knowing that your business is getting bigger and bigger, it's time to celebrate. In the blink of an eye, you've run ahead of me. At the beginning of the month, I heard on the news that you were on the Forbes 500 Rich List, and ranked tenth in Hong Kong, which scared me so much that I almost had a heart attack. I still can't accept it."

Tang's mother also asked, "Yes, son, how did you make so much money again?"

"The stocks I invested in have been rising exponentially, and I've also added leverage to speculate in options and futures. The companies I created are also constantly appreciating in value. Before I knew it, it became like this. I was actually scared myself."

There were too many gains, and others forcibly put gold on his face, but Su Yehao was afraid of being noticed, and then explained:

"I don't have that much ability, I can only say that I just happened to run into a big bull market and chose the right industry. In the United States, there are people who earn tens of billions this year. Last year, Bill Gates' net worth was more than 30 billion US dollars, and this year it's already more than 50 billion. This is still under the circumstances that Microsoft's lawsuit is in trouble and the stock price has increased little. Yahoo, which I heavily invested in, has seen its stock price increase more than ten times in more than a year..."

November 3rd.

Forbes magazine released a new issue of the world's rich list. Su Yehao was on the list, with a statistical net worth of 1.4 billion US dollars, ranking 227th.

There is also a Forbes list of the top 100 richest people in high-tech, where he ranks 28th, with a statistical net worth of the same 1.4 billion US dollars.

Although it is not clear how Forbes calculates it, this net worth is underestimated by about 400 million US dollars, which is a bit of a big error.

The net worth of super-rich people is inherently difficult to calculate. No one contacted Su Yehao before to inquire about his asset status. Outsiders just watched it for fun and couldn't reflect the real numbers.

The reason why he was able to rank in the top ten in Hong Kong for the first time is mainly because most of the rich people in Hong Kong and Casino, 1997 have suffered heavy losses in the past two years.

For example, the gambling king, who still had 2.8 billion US dollars last year, only has 2 billion US dollars left this year. Mr. Li of Sun Hung Kai had a peak net worth of 14.7 billion US dollars last year, but only has 6 billion US dollars left this year.

If the total family wealth is calculated, Su Yehao's family can already rank in the top 20 among Chinese people in the world.

But compared with the several oligarchs in Hong Kong, such as the Li family of Cheung Kong, who have more than 5 billion US dollars, the gap is still a bit big. There is definitely no hope of catching up this year, but maybe next year.

Compared with traditional business, the current Internet industry is really making money like it's being blown in by a strong wind.

The bubble is matched with a wave of interest rate hikes, and hot money from all over the world is pouring into Nasdaq. Even Warren Buffett would be stunned when he sees this situation, feeling that his many years of investment experience have been subverted. For this reason, he specifically explained in a letter to shareholders why he missed the current Internet bull market, bluntly saying that their returns and market value are not proportional...

In the past, when eating.

Parents always mixed double-teamed, reminding Su Yehao not to be impulsive and to study more.

And now.

Every time they meet, Su Yehao's father and mother like to sigh and lament how good their son is at making money.

Although they find Su Yehao's speed of making money incredible, it doesn't prevent them from benefiting from it.

Since the release of the rich list, even people from Pengcheng have paid attention to it, and specially划 (huá) out a low-priced piece of land on the bay that is half-sold and half-given, a total of 103 mu, for Su Yehao to build a corporate headquarters building, which is also regarded as attracting investment.

Someone in Shanghai discovered that Su Yehao held a piece of office building land in Lujiazui, and also sent someone to contact him, inviting him and Su's father to participate in the upcoming land auction.

After the scale of wealth exceeds 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, it is no longer possible to continue to be low-key.

There are many people outside talking about Su Yehao, but he himself doesn't feel anything. Life is still the same.

The family was already very rich, it was just a matter of rising a few places in the ranking. Besides, there are still a group of people pressing down on him, and he is not the richest Chinese in the world. Normal operation, expected, no need to be surprised.

When the list was released at the beginning of the month, he was busy with business in Silicon Valley.

After the list was announced, he accepted some interview invitations, and then didn't pay much attention to it.

Su Yehao's business is steadily rising. During the meal, when asked about his parents' business, the situation was still okay. The housing prices in Pengcheng and Guangzhou have risen a little, and more than 40 new chain drugstores have been opened. They are developing step by step, and there is not much change.

After drinking a bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, the aroma was fragrant, and the essence of the ingredients was concentrated in the soup.

Combined with a few home-cooked dishes, chatting and drinking, and during the period, acquaintances of his father and mother came to visit, saying that they saw their car outside the restaurant and specially ran over to say hello.
