Chapter 103 Top Ten Richest People

Seeing Liu Shishi asking the question, Yang Mi started to introduce them: "These three are my classmates from Beijing Film Academy's acting class. We will all be colleagues in the future."

As soon as Yang Mi finished speaking, Yuan Shanshan was in high spirits and couldn't wait to say, "Song Ci, I'm your fan. My roommate and I voted for you every day during the online school idol rankings last month. Can we add each other's contact information?"

Looking at Yuan Shanshan, who looked like a fangirl, Liu Shishi felt alarmed. This girl was as beautiful as a flower. If her little brother was entangled with her, he would be a strong rival in her love life.

She regretted secretly signing her boyfriend up for the school idol contest more and more. Before Song Ci could say anything, she quickly rejected him, "No."

Liu Shishi's strong refusal made the scene a little awkward for a moment. Song Ci coughed lightly and said, "Thank you for voting for me!", which slightly eased the depressing atmosphere, but his distant and cold attitude was very obvious.

"Yang Mi, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first. See you again sometime!"

The young man's attitude was reassuring, but Liu Shishi was still afraid that the girls would have a relationship with their boyfriends, and she didn't want to give them a chance to get in touch with them again, so she quickly said hello and hurriedly left the store with her boyfriend.

Looking at the figure of her idol going away, Yuan Shanshan stamped her feet in anger and complained, "Why is this woman so stingy? I haven't even said a few words to Song Ci. I'm not trying to steal his boyfriend. Why is it so necessary to be so nervous? We are not bad people."

Jiao Junyan winked at Yuan Shanshan and chuckled, "You looked so infatuated just now, your eyes almost wanted to fly out and stick to Song Ci. His girlfriend will definitely not be happy. Mimi, do you know Song Ci's girlfriend?"

Yang Mi sighed in a gloomy mood, "I met her once during an audition. But she has connections and a background, and she is about the same age as us, and she has already played the leading role in a movie."

Zhang Xiaofei was stunned. Her roommate had just said that they, the freshmen, were still a long way from becoming the heroine of a movie. Now Yang Mi told her that one of her peers was already one step ahead. She was amazed: "Is this true?"

Originally, Yang Mi wanted to bring her crazy roommate to upset Liu Shishi, but not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but she also became even more depressed. When she saw Zhang Xiaofei still didn't believe what she said, she frowned and replied unhappily:

"How can I lie to you? The movie she starred in will be released during the Spring Festival next year. Let's go, Shanshan, don't watch it anymore. She's already gone. Your idol is already taken, so don't think about it. If you want a man, find one at school. Xu Sanjin from the editing and directing class next door is a good one. He has a mine at home."

Yuan Shanshan was still unconvinced, "Humph, that girl is just average looking, she's not worthy of my idol at all, her face isn't any worse than ours, but as for her figure, I think it's far worse than yours, Mimi."

But she knew clearly how turbulent Yang Mi's emotions were when she was restrained. As a woman herself, she couldn't let go after touching her. How many men in the world could refuse?

Yang Mi shook her head. What's the point of talking about beauty? How many people in the entertainment industry are not optimistic about it? "Don't think too much. Different people have different fates. Maybe your male god likes the pure type. Let's go to the movie."

The girls were dejected when they heard this. They lost all mood to look at shoes and secretly kept Liu Shishi in their minds as their goal to catch up with.

The encounter between the group in front of the Jimmy Choo women's shoe store was just a small episode during the National Day.

This was the second meeting between the two future top stars. Compared to the quick eye contact the first time, Liu Shishi remembered Yang Mi's name this time.

After a day of sightseeing, Song Ci and Liu Shishi returned to the community. The night was dark, and the starry sky was particularly bright today. Looking up at the twinkling stars, one was intoxicated by them.

Everything was quiet all around, with only the occasional chirping of insects in the distance, weaving a melodious nocturne.

Downstairs in the apartment, at the same place, the couple Song Ci and Liu Shishi were hugging each other tightly and kissing passionately.

Miss Liu closed her eyes and the shopping bag in her hand fell to the ground at some point. She just hugged her boyfriend tenderly and affectionately.

Song Ci held his girlfriend's slender waist with one hand, and the other hand was wandering around Miss Liu's body. From her waist to her slightly upturned breasts, he could feel the girl's delicate and smooth skin through her clothes.

When Liu Shishi was teased by her boyfriend, she would let out seductive moans like a cat from time to time. She felt like she was floating in the clouds, her body was hot and her whole body was soft as if she had no bones.

It was unknown how long it took before their lips slowly parted. Liu Shishi's eyes were full of affection, she was panting, her body was limp, a blush appeared on her face, her face seemed to be both shy and happy: "Bad guy, you flirt with a decent woman in broad daylight."

Song Ci raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "It's dark out here, how can you say that a relationship between two people is frivolous? Look how devoted you were in the kiss just now."

Liu Shishi shyly turned her face away, "Bah, you are so smooth-talking. I never thought you were such an honest person when you were young, but now you are so bad."

"That was when I was a child. Now I'm grown up and just want to do whatever I want." After saying that, Song Ci hugged his girlfriend and wanted to continue.

Liu Shishi was so scared that she begged for mercy: "Yiyi, please let me go. My mother just urged me to go back and pack my clothes."

Seeing that it was really late, Song Ci decided to let Xiao Qingmei go, picked up the shopping bag that had fallen on the ground and handed it to Miss Liu, asking with concern: "Do you want me to take you there tomorrow?"

Liu Shishi declined her boyfriend's offer: "Don't bother you. We are traveling with a tour group and the tour guide has arranged a bus."

Song Ci nodded slightly. Although traveling with a tour group was a tight schedule, it was indeed less stressful. "Go upstairs, pack up and go to bed early."

Hearing her boyfriend's instructions, Liu Shishi nodded with a sweet and playful smile on her face.

Her eyes sparkled with cunning and tenderness under the starlight. She tiptoed gently, leaned forward slightly, pursed her lips gently, and blew a kiss to Song Ci, "My reckless boyfriend, see you in five days."

After the National Day, it was the morning of October 12, 2005, when the Hurun Research Institute released a new issue of "Hurun Rich List" magazine. The threshold for this issue of the "Hurun Rich List" was 500 million yuan, and the number of people on the list was 400.

This is the seventh consecutive year that the Hurun Research Institute has released the "Hurun Rich List". The wealth calculation deadline for the listed billionaires is September 30, 2005.

Among them, Huang Guangyu, founder of Pengrun Investment Group, is the richest man in mainland China with a net worth of 14 billion yuan. Yan Jiehe, boss of Pacific Construction Group, and Chen Tianqiao, chairman of Shanda Interactive, follow closely behind with wealth of 12.5 billion and 11.7 billion yuan respectively.

Song Ci, chairman of Tengda Group, is ranked 7th on the list with a net worth of 8.2 billion yuan, surpassing the Lu Guanqiu family of Wanxiang Group.

After seven years of publicity, the Hurun Rich List now has a huge influence in China. Its release not only reflects the current wealth status and industry distribution of China's wealthy, but also triggers widespread discussion among all sectors of society on wealth, entrepreneurship and economic development.

At the same time, the list also provides an important window for people to understand China's economic development and entrepreneurial spirit. Ordinary people regard it as an important topic of conversation after dinner. It can be said that as long as you can be on the list, you will inevitably become the focus of everyone's attention.

In the 2005 list, the age range of the rich people is relatively wide, including both young and promising entrepreneurs as well as experienced old entrepreneurs.

Some of the new generation of wealthy people are engaged in the IT industry. Among the top ten richest people, three are from the Internet industry, which shows the huge potential and appeal of the Internet industry.

Among the top ten richest people, three are still the most eye-catching. Huang Guangyu has been retained as the richest man in mainland China. His Gome Electrical Appliances has become the largest home appliance retailer in the country and is a household name known to everyone.

Yan Jiehe is the fastest improving rich man due to the rapid development of Pacific Construction Group. His personal wealth has increased from 1.5 billion yuan in the previous year to 12.5 billion yuan, a net increase of 11 billion yuan. His ranking soared from 66th to 2nd. Such an exaggerated increase in just one year naturally attracted the focus of the media.

Of course, the most talked-about person is Song Ci. This 19-year-old business tycoon, who suddenly emerged and made the list for the first time, became one of the top ten richest people in mainland China with a net worth of 8.2 billion. As time went by, he gradually set off the whole of China and the Internet.

"I can't live in peace." In the office of Tengda Group, Song Ci hung up another call and threw the phone on the desk in annoyance, feeling helpless.

Ever since he ranked seventh on the Hurun Rich List a few days ago, the news media has begun to dig deeper into him.

After his identities as a rising star in the literary world, the best-selling author of the post-80s generation, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and the founder of Tengda Group were revealed one after another, his phone has been bombarded with calls and he has hardly had a moment of free time.

The awe of subordinates, the shock of relatives and friends, the enthusiasm of teachers, the admiration of classmates, the rhythm of study and life has been completely disrupted, and the free and easy life of the past is gone forever.

Some media reporters couldn't find him and heard some gossip, so they rushed to Union Hospital and Beihang University to inquire about his parents' situation. As a result, Song Zhang and Liu Xiaoxiao had to hide at home temporarily to avoid the limelight.

When he returned home the day before yesterday, his parents questioned him for more than an hour, asking him to explain everything about Tengda Group.

However, Liu Shishi was not surprised by the fact that he was one of the top ten richest people. Apart from being curious whether he really had a fortune of 8.2 billion yuan, her attitude towards him remained the same as before.

According to Miss Liu, she likes Song Ci, the little brother who grew up with her and is her childhood sweetheart. Even if Song Ci becomes penniless one day, Shi Ye is willing to support him, which makes the rich man Song moved and relieved.

Seeing the chairman looking annoyed, Zhang Yong asked with a smile, "Who is calling from?"

In just over twenty minutes since he entered the office, Song Ci had already received seven calls. Looking at his boss's depressed expression, he sighed in his heart that it was a happy trouble.

However, Zhang Yong was still somewhat shocked at this time. He did not expect that the chairman had already become so worthless without realizing it. The key point was that he was only 19 years old and had a promising future. If he accumulated more experience, he would surely become a prominent figure in China's business community.

Song Ci curled her lips, thinking of the other party's moral blackmailing words just now, and snorted disdainfully: "Red Cross."

Zhang Yong pushed his glasses, his face solemn, and said carefully: "This time you made a big noise. Now there are reporters squatting under the company every day, and this is not important.

In addition, the leaders of the Beijing government have contacted me several times by phone. A senior leader wants to come to the company to inspect and guide our work, and would like to meet you by the way. "

Song Ci sighed, a hint of sadness lingering in his heart, "Hey, the last time I met Hurun, I knew I would be on the list this time. After all, the size of Tengda Group is here now. But that guy clearly promised me to lower the ranking, but in the end he still put me in the top ten richest people. It's so exaggerated."

When Song Ci found out that he was ranked seventh on the rich list, he felt something was wrong. Although he had a good family background and a clean record, the source of his wealth would not stand up to scrutiny like the previous wealthy people who had fallen.

His family background is not that of an ordinary entrepreneur, and he also has the bonus of being a famous writer, so it is not difficult for him to deal with the government.

However, it is estimated that many social organizations will approach him for alms in the future, and he will be watched by many people with ulterior motives. It is unlikely that he will be able to act freely as in the past.

Song Ci also knew this and had always acted low-key to avoid those Red Cross charity funds that kept an eye on him and used moral blackmail at every turn. It was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be shaken off.

"Lao Zhang, if those people from the Red Cross call you again, just say you can't make the decision and just ignore it. I have money and I don't know how to spend it myself, so why should I give it to these unknown people?" Thinking of the reputation of the Red Cross, Song Ci shook his head in denial and instructed Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong said sternly, "Boss Song, you still have to do charity work. You have to donate a little, otherwise it will affect your reputation and that of the company."

Song Ci nodded. He naturally understood this principle. After thinking for a moment, he slowly arranged: "We must donate. Toutiao.com donates every year. But forget about the Red Cross Charity Foundation. That organization doesn't do practical things.

From now on, I will personally donate 5 million to the Hope Project every year, and the company will donate another 10 million. I will ask the company’s finance department to help me with this, and the news will be announced on the company’s official website tomorrow.

Starting from next year, every New Year’s Day, Lao Zhang, you should arrange to transfer this money to the Hope Project’s account.

Also, remember to ask them to give you receipts and donation certificates, as well as information about the needy students, and then publish them all on the company’s official website. We welcome supervision from all walks of life.”

Zhang Yong nodded and took note of his boss's request.

"Many media magazines want to interview you, but since they can't contact you, they all call the company or me. Even Li Hong from Headline Star asked me to ask when the chairman will support his own program."

Song Ci thought about it for a while, and realized that some things could not be avoided, so he reminded him, "Lao Zhang, you should arrange the inspection of the senior leader as soon as possible. If the group has anything that needs government coordination, you can also take the opportunity to mention it.

As for the visits from other news media, please help me reject them. I shouldn't be in the spotlight recently. I should keep a low profile and avoid this period of time. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. I have a shallow foundation but I don't want to be too popular. "

"I understand, Mr. Song. I will report to you about the leader's inspection in a timely manner!"
