Not many people care about the names after the top ten on the Hurun Rich List, but they definitely care about the 21-year-old age. This is why Ji Yang said Xia Yu became popular.
After the list was released, news writers and self-media people all noticed the name Xia Yu, his enchanting youth, and the news value behind it.
Damn, who is this guy? He just appeared out of nowhere. How are they supposed to write a report on this?
Those who had connections immediately contacted their friends who worked at Hurun to get first-hand information, while those who didn't continued to search for clues online. They actually found some useful information about Xia's Catering, and with a little more watering, they could make it into a timely report.
Xia Yu crossed out the list, clicked on the trending searches on Weibo, and sure enough, he found himself.
"Rich second generation university students start a business and create a 10 billion myth"
The title was quite attractive, and Xia Yu couldn't help but click on it.
The article is rather watery. Apart from mentioning that Xia Yu was on the list, it only contained some public news about Xia’s Catering and the content of his report when he returned to school. But who can blame him for his fast typing!
Coupled with everyone's curiosity about him, searching his name pushed this report to the top of the trending searches.
After reading it, I continued to scroll down and saw that there were already hundreds of comments.
"I'm jealous. I didn't even have a thousand dollars when I was 21, and they're worth tens of billions."
"I want the contact information of this little brother. I have been single since birth and I have already agreed to marry you."
"Why are you all so excited? Didn't you see he's a second-generation rich kid? 13 billion of the 13.5 billion was given to him by his father as a start-up fund."
Some are envious, some are jealous, but the 13 billion venture capital fund is more interesting, and it has so many likes. But Lao Xia doesn’t even know when he became so rich, and 13 billion is really a joke.
Xia Yu did not rule out the assistance of the system, but to make so much money just by signing in, he would have to sign for 1,300 days at 10 million per day. Starting from a restaurant, he has reached his current scale in less than a year.
If he is willing to push for a listing, his net worth will increase several times over without any problem, but his vision goes beyond that.
"Buzz~Buzz~~"
His phone suddenly vibrated, and messages popped up one after another on WeChat. They were all people he knew who had seen the trending search and came to congratulate him. His parents even called him directly.
"Xiaoyu, you, you..."
"Mom, I know what you're going to say. The reports online are true. Our family is just that rich, and we'll get even richer in the future!"
Xia Yu stood up in front of his mother.
"My parents know you're capable, but a lot of people called me and asked if that Xia Yu was you."
Oh hoo?
Isn't it just being on the rich list, and outside the top 200 at that? Is it that powerful?
Xia Yu underestimated the power of tens of billions. There were less than 400 people on the entire list with a net worth of over 10 billion. Adding those who were rich but not on the list, there were less than 1,000 billionaires in the whole of China. Compared with the population of 1.3 billion to 1.4 billion, how many zeros after the decimal point would that be?
"Just say it's me. I can't hide this."
As soon as the list was released, countless eyes were focused on Xia Yu. He couldn't hide it and there was no need to hide it. Anyway, he was mentally prepared to step out from behind the scenes.
"But they either want to treat you or your dad to a meal."
This has drawn attention to Old Xia, after all, Xia Yu is known as a rich second-generation.
"Mom, let Dad answer the phone."
Lin Shuqin quickly handed the phone to Lao Xia.
"Hello!"
"Dad, ignore those who are looking for you to eat. They are trying to get your attention!"
Xia Yu spoke to Lao Xia on the phone.
"I know. They think of you as my agent. They don't know that the business is all yours. I'm just helping you."
Lao Xia has a clear mind and can see the current situation clearly, but there are many people who think this way, even Hurun.
When they rank people, they usually use individuals, families, and couples as units. Logically, Xia Yu and Lao Xia should be ranked together as a family, so they will definitely be ranked higher.
Unfortunately, they checked Lao Xia's resume and found that except for having been in Africa for three years, his other experiences were no different from those of ordinary people.
The problem is that during these three years, they checked the source of Xia Yu's funds and found that they came from Africa. Therefore, they concluded that Lao Xia was a hidden boss whose business was abroad. He had the ability to be on the list, but he couldn't make it.
What to do? They can only rank Xia Yu separately. After all, a net worth of 10 billion at the age of 21 is also a gimmick, which will help to enhance the influence of their list.
"Yes, but our business is not yours or mine. You should stay at the base this month. If this matter spreads, it will spread. We can go to Guangdong Province to hide in November and come back after the storm dies down."
Xia Yu told his plan.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. We have food, drink, and shelter in the mountains, and there's no need to go out."
Lao Xia thought it was a good idea and agreed to it directly over the phone.
The father and son chatted for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone, but less than three seconds later, another call came in. The caller ID showed that it was Xue Ping.
"Hello?"
"Boss, you'd better not come to the company today. There are several groups of reporters coming downstairs!"
Xue Ping was the one who tipped off Xia Yu. He said he would go to the company today. Who could have thought that such a thing would happen? What's more, the reporters were so fast and had already arrived at the company to block people.
"Okay, I'll go home directly and won't come over."
After Xia Yu hung up the phone, he asked Lao Xu to change the destination.
He is not against being interviewed, but he is against the kind of interviews where the microphone is thrust into his face and there are crowds of people around. Let's wait until the hype is over!
