I have to say that Forbes magazine's intelligence is still very comprehensive, listing almost all of William Chen's current companies, except for some companies invested in China that are not listed, the assets in the United States are still very comprehensive.
After seeing this, many talents realized that, before they knew it, there were already so many companies under William Chen.
And there are rumors that on March 10, "Forbes" magazine was already preparing to publish this rich list, but on the same day William Chen and News Corp announced the news of the acquisition of 20th Century Fox, because of this, "Forbes" list The release of the single was urgently stopped, and they recalculated Chen William's assets, rising from the original fifth place to the fourth place, and only released the list again today.
The announcement of the Forbes Rich List is also equivalent to confirming the previous Wall Street Journal report that William Chen earned nearly $30 billion in the subprime mortgage crisis.
After this list was launched, for the first time, there was a strange phenomenon, that is, no one cared too much about the richest man who was the most eye-catching before, and even the top three were only mentioned incidentally in news reports, but only Word Phrases.
And all the reports and discussions focused on Chen William, who came in fourth.
After all, the fourth richest person in the world is not yet 22 years old.
After all, William Chen, who is worth $31 billion, was last year known as America's most famous prodigal of the century.
From the rich second generation who squandered his wealth to the youngest top ten richest man in history with a net worth of 31 billion US dollars, Chen William's transformation is really topical.
And in the final analysis, the world's richest man launched this time is not an American, but a Mexican telecom tycoon, who is not as topical as William Chen's.
If Chen William's popularity was mainly in Europe and the United States, then after the launch of the "Forbes" rich list, it has already gained global influence.
Especially in Asia, including mainland China, his name has been mentioned more and more frequently in the public.
According to data from Yahoo Japan, after the launch of the "Forbes" rich list, William Chen and related searches have exploded in a short period of time, occupying the top position on the search list, and the popularity has not diminished.
Similarly, the Baidu company in Huaguo has also released relevant data. In terms of the popularity of Baidu search, William Chen and related search curves have almost skyrocketed, and it is rare that in this kind of economic event, the participants who participated Women outnumber men.
And at this time, William Chen was not short of news in China. For example, news broke out:
Fan Bingbing's studio acquired more than 30% of the shares of Huace Film and Television, a cutting-edge film and television company with a valuation of 1 billion yuan, and became the major shareholder of Huace Film and Television.
And the two sides will also have a series of cooperation, Fan Bingbing will star in the important drama of Huace Film and Television.
You must know that not long ago, Fan Bingbing's scandal with Chen William was still raging, and Chen William's China Future Fund also claimed to cooperate with Fan Bingbing's studio for investment.
Therefore, once the investment was disclosed, it immediately caused a sensation in the film and television circle of China. Although Fan Bingbing was still in Cannes at this time and did not return to China, various media also went to interview the staff of Fan Bingbing's studio. .
Yang Tianzhen, the publicity director of Fan Bingbing's studio, said that this investment in Huace Film and Television was the first move after Fan Bingbing's studio received heavy financing, hoping to reach a closer relationship with excellent producers. cooperation and contribute to the prosperity of film and television works.
Media reporters also found a place to dig from her answer, and asked whether the so-called "heavy financing" refers to the financing of Chen William?
Choosing this time to complete the investment, Yang Tianzhen also intends to use the popularity of Chen William to enhance Fan Bingbing's reputation, so he candidly admit that Huaxia Future Capital has completed the investment in Fan Bingbing's studio, as for the specific amount , temporarily kept secret.
After the reporter's inquiry, it was found that after the change of the shareholding ratio of Fan Bingbing's studio, Fan Bingbing himself holds 51% of the shares, Fan Bingbing's mother Zhang Chuanmei holds 4%, and Huaxia Future Capital holds 45%.
In fact, the investment this time was after Fan Bingbing Studio and Huaxia Future Capital negotiated with Huace Film and Television that they would invest at a valuation of 1 billion Chinese dollars. Huaxia Future Capital took out 5,000 yuan. 10,000 US dollars, of which half of the amount of 25 million US dollars is a loan provided to Fan Bingbing, and then the two parties jointly invested in Fan Bingbing's studio.
In the name of Fan Bingbing's studio, they invested 300 million Chinese dollars in Huace Film and Television. Half of the funds came from the original investment institutions Zheshang Venture Capital and Liuhe Capital, and acquired a total of 15% of their holdings. In less than a year, these two investment institutions have tripled the value of their investment and left the market with a profit.
After that, the remaining half of the funds were invested in Huace Film and Television, plus Fan Bingbing's own film and television contract, and a total of 30% of the shares were obtained.
After this investment, many people thought of what Fan Bingbing once said: "You don't need to marry a wealthy family, you are a wealthy family yourself."
Sure enough, after she left Huayi Company, she has now transformed herself into a major shareholder of the film and television company, and Fan Ye's personality has become more stable.
Of course, these are also publicity in the face of the public. As for those bigwigs in the entertainment industry or other industries, they can naturally understand what Fan Bingbing is relying on in these operations. She is standing behind her back, which is the just announced global The fourth richest man, with a net worth of US$31 billion, is more than four times the richest man in mainland China...
At this time, there was more than one report about Chen William in China.
At the same time, Youku announced that it had completed the E round of financing. Huaxia Future Capital invested $100 million at a post-investment valuation of $500 million to acquire 20% of the shares and become a major shareholder of Youku.
Through this financing, Youku will cooperate with 20th Century Films and MGM Pictures with the support of Meta Investment Company, the parent company of China Future Capital, to introduce more films and enrich Youku's content library.
After media investigations, within a year, William Chen has intensively invested in many Chinese enterprises, including buying shares of Ali company from Yahoo at sky-high prices, and through the venture capital fund Huaxia Future Capital, investing in including Huayi Company, Xiaomi Company, Dianping, Youku and many other Chinese enterprises.
Moreover, the joint venture company Troup-Chen Business Management Co., Ltd. controlled by him has also entered the real estate market in China, and has acquired the tallest building in mainland China, which is the current Troup-Chen Dongfang Building, which is still under construction in many places. Having built a multi-purpose building, it can be said that he still attaches great importance to the Huaguo market.
These reports have greatly improved William Chen's popularity in China, and even now there are quite a few fan organizations of William Chen in China.
This can be seen from one thing, that is, in the current pirated discs and online on-demand, the most popular movie is "Magic Mike", and it must be the version marked with Easter eggs.
The reason is that after someone sent the Easter egg of William Chen in the movie "Magic Mike" from overseas, it immediately became a popular post, reproducing the video that just appeared on the American network at that time. The spectacle of time.
"He's young, he's rich, I can understand, but he's so handsome and his body is so good, what should I do? I've watched this video 100 times, and I'm watching it for the 101st time, and it's going smoothly. Substitute yourself into Ivanta... Let alone, I have to get busy first."
"Please put your hands on the keyboard upstairs, otherwise I have reason to suspect that you are..."
...
"I think the significance of Chen William's appearance is that when I watch the domineering president's article now, I can naturally substitute the protagonist into his appearance, and I feel that the plots are very reasonable..."
Like this movie, there are all the videos about William Chen, including the reality show "Paris's Friends" filmed by Paris, and even the episode of Ivanta. After being translated by the subtitle group, the viewing volume was extremely high, just because Chen William was mentioned in the chat (si) day (B) of Ivanta and Paris.
"It turns out that William Chen came to Yanjing so early. Is his relationship with Deng Wendi not bad?"
"Of course, I heard from my friend that he heard from his relatives that William Chen also bought a huge courtyard house in the second ring road of Yanjing, not far from Deng Wendi's house, and it is being renovated now, maybe There will be a chance to see him in Yanjing in the future."
"No wonder he was able to buy Twentieth Century Fox from Murdoch, so it is."
"William Chen's body during fitness in that episode really makes people want to lick the screen. I've already captured that part and saved it..."
"I am so envious of Paris. I can enter William Chen's house at will. I also want to..."
"Originally, they were good friends and were very familiar with each other, and until now, the two of them are still rumored to have an affair."
Li Yanran looked at the news in her mobile phone group. After the report for a period of time, many Chen William fan groups appeared. Of course, because everyone knows that it is a product of Chen William Company, they will build the fan group in this APP. .
At this time, she would often recall that in the morning, when she opened the door, the man who was much more handsome than the star she had seen on TV stood at the door of her house and asked her where he was. It's not that there is a person named Chen Chuan.
At that time, after the man left, she still felt a little lost and a little inexplicable.
Recently, when her best friend gave herself Amway, a super rich and handsome man with Chinese blood, Li Yanran discovered that this person was actually the man from that day.
If you have met such a man once in your life, how can you easily forget it?
Therefore, after her best friend took her into this William Chen's fan group, she did not refuse, and was secretly looking forward to learning more about him.
At this time, she saw someone @group owner Princess, aren't you in New York? Have you met William Chen recently, don't forget to take pictures for us. "
The group owner's nickname is Princess Barbie. It is said that she is a Bai Fumei who is studying in New York. Her circle of friends often sends some photos of her life in the United States. Before, she also sent everyone in the group a lot of information about Chen from the American media. William's report and video.
"When William Chen lived on the Upper East Side, it was easy to meet him. He would go for a run in Central Park tomorrow morning, but now he rarely lives there. He moved to the manor on Long Island, and it's not easy to meet him."
Someone in the group asked:
"Isn't that far from downtown New York?"
"Can you keep watch at their company, maybe you can see it."
"Uh... He took a helicopter directly from the manor to the company. It's not easy to meet him."
Well, this super-rich lifestyle is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
