Chapter 283

As Li Feng is stable, but his career keeps going. Recently, Li Feng often makes headlines in business magazines and newspapers. There is no way. Recently, Li Feng's media group in the industry has gained a lot.

In addition to CAA, Vita digital and Blackwater, it previously included the acquisition of Forbes magazine, record companies, etc., but Li Feng also knew from the briefing that the rest had been announced except that no one knew about the acquisition of Forbes.

That's so much. In fact, it didn't cost much. The whole cost the media group hundreds of millions of dollars.

For example, the acquisition of Jive Records cost US $150 million, reaching 70% holding, Forbes spent US $220 million, reaching 60% holding, etc. (in my memory, Forbes transferred Forbes group twice in the new century, and the price is not several hundred million dollars). Now the media group has enough strength to eat these enterprises as a powerful supplement to the enterprises.

Naturally, Barry also discussed whether to buy several influential newspapers, but it was directly rejected by Li Feng. Li Feng directly told Barry that he was not optimistic about the development of newspapers next.

Li Feng is very clear, especially with the development of the Internet, the newspaper industry is about to face huge losses. On the contrary, those influential magazines are good.

For example, professional financial magazines and fashion magazines, which is why Li Feng told Barry that he mainly bought magazines he had heard of in his previous life.

……

As for newspapers, Li Feng thought that when those newspapers are facing huge losses in the future, he will come out in the form of Savior, and that is the time for him to buy newspapers.

In fact, Li Feng knows very well that these newspapers will not make much money at that time. For example, the traditional Hearst group was once the king of newspapers in the United States and even the world. Later, it was mainly publishing, magazines, books and so on. It is estimated that there are few newspapers.

However, Li Feng didn't expect newspapers to make money, mainly because of their influence. Don't underestimate the influence of these newspapers that have been running for decades or even hundreds of years.

There have not been rumors in previous lives. It seems that many newspapers face huge losses every year. As a result, newspapers are sold off. Many are even sent free or even posted upside down, as long as someone is willing to take over.

Li Feng has long wanted to buy several influential newspapers when the Internet has become the mainstream in the future.

At that time, it will not be like this to ask for acquisitions by themselves, but those bosses who own newspapers ask for acquisitions by themselves.

In Li Feng's heart, when he is wandering among the girls every day and is not happy about Shu, no, some people may not be able to watch it anymore, and the incoming phone ring remembered.

……

"Hello, Steve, nice to hear from you. What's up?"

"What, this year's annual Forbes Global rich list is coming out?"

"My ranking is very high. It's going to scare the United States and even the world?"

"It's not so exaggerated. It's estimated that Bill Gates is nearly 20 billion?"

"OK, don't rush to send it out. Send me a copy. I'll see my situation first and see if your statistics are accurate."

"OK, just send me an email. I'll read it right away. I'll call you when I finish reading it."

"That's it, bye!"

Yes, this is the phone call of Steve Forbes, President of Forbes, who has just been acquired by himself. He said that this year's global rich list will be published, but after all, Li Feng has become his nominal boss. Therefore, it is said to have a look at Li Feng first.

Well, to tell the truth, although the Forbes rich list is widely spread in future generations every year, who remembers when it was released. Now it will be released in June, and I don't know what they think.

In Li Feng's vision, since it is a one-year rich list, it has to be released at the end of the year. Now it's only the middle of the year. It's a bit untrue.

……

Hearing Li Feng's phone call, the two assistants who were playing games with Li Feng were also interested. They immediately went to Li Feng's office and watched the rich list sent by Steve Forbes with great interest.

After all, for ordinary people, the annual rich list is still very attractive. Now the list that has not been released is directly in front of them. That kind of psychological satisfaction is definitely beyond ordinary.

Li Feng didn't stop them from watching. He immediately opened the list through the computer. This time, two lists were sent, one in 1995 and the other in 1996. The data can be compared.

Li Feng found that most of these super rich have greatly increased their total wealth, which also proves the rapid development of the global economy.

First of all, I was the first to see Li Feng's familiar name. Bill gates won the world's richest man with $18.5 billion. Li Feng was not surprised at this. However, Li Feng was a little surprised at only 18.5 billion. After all, according to more than 40% of Microsoft's shares, there are definitely more than 20 billion. Seeing the statistics of Forbes, Li Feng knew that Gates cashed out a lot last year.

According to his previous life memory, if history had not changed, Li Feng knew that after bill became the richest man for the first time in 1995, he became the richest man for 13 consecutive years. It seems that he lost the position of the richest man in 2008, and then began to linger in the top few.

Naturally, Li Feng also knows that bill will cash out some of his shares every year, but others' cash out has not risen rapidly. In the end, their wealth has indeed increased continuously. As for cash out, they have entered the so-called charitable fund.

It seems that by 2017, from 95 to 17, 23 times, it seems that it has been elected the richest man 18 times. It is really a cow and fork.

As for whether there can be accidents in this life, it depends on my next ability. Li Feng thought proudly in his heart.

……

Next, the old mother of the Walton family ranked second, Buffett third and fourth. Li Feng met an unexpected name, that is the old man Li Zhaoji, a rich man in Xiangjiang, known as the "fourth uncle".

The old man ranked fourth with us $12.7 billion. Li Feng really didn't know about this. He didn't expect that the ranking was so high. Li Feng found that last year, old man Li seemed to be good, ranking 13th. This year, he rose sharply.

In fact, what Li Feng doesn't know is that old man Li Zhaoji was elected the richest man of Chinese for two consecutive years in 1996 and 1997. In 1997, he was still ranked fourth. After that, the richest man of Chinese was replaced by Li Jiacheng.

Next, Li Feng saw many well-known Chinese tycoons in his previous life, most of whom are in Xiangjiang, TW, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. These tycoons are rich. Among the top 10 Chinese tycoons, the lowest is more than $7 billion, ranking very high in the rich list.

For example, Xiangjiang's "double Li", the Guo brothers, the new world's Guo Helian and TW's Cai Wanlin are well-known Chinese rich families even in future generations.

In general, the wealth gap of the rich on the list is not very large. Unlike the first place in later generations, it is almost $80 billion or $90 billion, which has fallen rapidly. Today, the richest man is only $18.5 billion, and the leaders behind him are all over $10 billion.

……

As he continued to look down, Li Feng finally found his name. At the same time, Forbes also helped him liquidate his assets and wealth. Although Li Feng laughed everywhere after seeing it, indicating that he was "laughing" at the list.
