"How do you know I didn't buy it?"
Xia Yu asked back.
"No way, when did it happen?"
Ji Yang didn't even have time to eat. He had been on many ordinary yachts, but Xia Yu definitely didn't look down on them. If he was to buy one, it would definitely be a big deal.
"It's been several years. Shouldn't it be taken back for maintenance?"
The Invincible-class ship was delivered to Xia Yu before he graduated in 2019. It has been more than two years since then, and it is time for maintenance; the Polaris is used more frequently and has accompanied him in battles in the Arctic and Antarctic, so it also needs maintenance, so the two ships returned to Europe together with the transport ship.
This is also the reason why Ji Yang did not see the two ships, otherwise he would definitely be more surprised.
"Then you're really not nice. Go back to your country and let everyone know more!"
"No, absolutely not. I'm afraid of being sunk."
Both of Xia Yu’s ships are equipped with defense systems, and the Invincible-class ship has a relatively sensitive appearance, so it is best not to drive it back.
"That's so mysterious! You wouldn't be trying to convert someone else's second-hand warship into a yacht, would you?"
Ji Yang's mouth seemed to be blessed with wisdom, and everything he said was accurate. It was not only a second-hand warship, but also a second-hand aircraft carrier.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. You'll see it next time you come. We'll be back in Shanghai the day after tomorrow, just in time for the F1 race."
Xia Yu brought Ji Yang here to introduce himself to the island, so that the island can be more lively in the future.
"Yeah, I almost forgot about that. What's your WiFi password? I want to check the schedule."
Ji Yang was full and took out his phone to check some information. He had been connected to the plane's WiFi before, but now he had time to look at his phone.
Kanai Island mainly uses satellite networks. Laying submarine optical cables is too troublesome and it is easy to expose the underwater entrance of the hive base. Xia Yu directly rejected this plan.
However, when it comes to satellite Internet access, Xia Yu also participated in the testing of Starlink.
The internet speed is 200Mbps and the monthly rent is $99, which is the price for a single line. Fortunately, he is a big user of SpaceX and has free internet fees for life.
Xia Yu helped Ji Yang connect to the Internet. He began to search for the event schedule for the 9th. After looking for a while, a news push popped up.
"2021 Forbes Global Billionaires List?"
"Old Xia, are you on the list this year?"
Ji Yang clicked in and talked to Xia Yu.
In China, more people pay attention to the Hurun Rich List because it is more accurate, but when it comes to the global scope, the Forbes list is more authoritative.
"How should I know? Forbes never told me."
"Let me see, Bezos is still number one, and Musk is second with a difference of 20 billion."
Ji Yang pulled down the list and said.
One of them has a net worth of 177 billion US dollars and the other has a net worth of 151 billion US dollars. If converted, Bezos is definitely over one trillion RMB, and Musk is also very close.
Xia Yu still has some distance to go before he can catch up with them, but fortunately he is still young and has enough time to catch up and surpass them.
"So I'm not in the top 10?"
Last year, Hurun ranked him sixth in the country. After more than half a year of development, his ranking should have improved. After all, the last 230 billion was an underestimate.
"No, there's not a single domestic company in the top 10. Wait, I saw Mr. Zhong."
Ji Yang slid to the second page and saw Zhong Dandan ranked 13th with a net worth of 68.9 billion US dollars, but before he could take a closer look, his attention was captured by the person below him.
Rank: 14th
Name (English): SherlockYvXia
Name (Chinese): Xia Yu
Wealth (US$ billion): 687
Source of wealth: Xia Group
Country and region: Mainland China
Age: 24
"Holy crap, $68.7 billion, how much RMB is that?"
"450 billion, that's a bit conservative. I obviously have more than that."
Xia Yu came over and said.
Ji Yang wanted to say that we can still be good friends without pretending to be cool, but the system will not lie. Xia Yu had just checked this morning and the valuation of Xia Group was around 630 billion.
Even if Xia's Catering's circulating shares account for 30% of the total share capital, his net worth should be around 550 billion. This is 100 billion less out of thin air!
Actually, it's okay. After all, it's just an estimation. Forbes' calculations are bound to have errors. Adding the pocket money entrusted by Xia Capital and various undisclosed assets under his name, Xia Yu's exact net worth should be around 620 billion.
He is very close to $100 billion. His assets have doubled in more than half a year. He is very satisfied with himself.
There is the factor of inflation, but Xia Yu’s efforts are also undeniable. In the future, he will build the Xia Group into a giant like Weyland Company bit by bit, making human civilization even more brilliant.
At the same time, this Forbes list was also transmitted back to China. The quick editor had already written the report and posted it online.
"In half a year, my net worth has doubled, creating another legendary wealth story!"
"With young and old standing side by side, how many years will it take to break into the top 10 in the world?"
"The Yangtze River's waves behind push the waves in front, and Nanshan is defeated to reach a new peak!"
…………
Xia Yu's popularity has been hyped up again. Whether it is Zhong Dandan, who is ahead of him with a slight advantage of 200 million, or the two Mr. Ma who were surpassed by Xia Yu for the first time, they have all become his foils.
At the Maoshan production base, Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia were speechless for a long time after seeing the news.
At the Shanghai World Financial Center, Yin Suya, who was preparing for the film's release, and Ding Mi and Jiang Shengnan, who were helping out, looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.
Jiang Baiying, who was working at Min Heng's Xia's Biological Research Institute, received a call from her father and heard the news from him.
