Not to mention ordinary people, even the average wealthy had never heard of Guoxing Group Co., Ltd. or who Gu Shuanghui was. Only the top wealthy people understood how powerful this company was, and only by becoming shareholders could they know the specific assets of the company.
Including Guoxing Group, all companies under Si Mingyu's name are non-listed companies, so their assets and profits are not transparent, and most people are unaware of them unless they are from the official tax department.
Si Mingyu himself doesn't know what his current net worth is, but according to this year's exchange rate and the Forbes rankings, it is probably about the same as the great Bill Gates.
For example, if you start a business with 10,000 yuan, can you guarantee a net profit of 1 yuan a day after deducting all expenses? Most people can do it.
It's just a joke. With so many elites in his companies, how could Si Mingyu's daily net profit be only 100 million Chinese yuan?
I still remember when we were in Sanya watching the Bizhan New Year's Eve Gala, Si Mingyu wanted to buy 10% of the shares of the small broken station, but Zhang Ningxi said that the family didn't have enough money and had to wait a year. At that time, he even joked about becoming rich overnight.
He'd already known the pharmaceutical company would generate significant profits from the successful development of its new drug, but he hadn't anticipated inheriting such a vast fortune less than six months later. This reduced what would have taken a year to save to a mere month and a half. So, what else could he do? He'd arrange for someone to negotiate the share acquisition.
After Si Mingyu officially took control of Guoxing Group Co., Ltd., people he knew expressed congratulations in various ways.
Mr. Huo from "Xingyetang Real Estate Co., Ltd.", Mr. Li from "Jiangheji Industrial Co., Ltd.", and Mr. Lu from "Hua International Group Co., Ltd." were all shareholders. Although Si Mingyu had never dealt with the three before, they all called to express their congratulations on the day of the signing ceremony.
The first people to get the news were Lei Jun and Zhang Yiming. They immediately congratulated Si Mingyu. Almost at the same time, Pony Ma and Boss Ma also got the news.
Because it wasn't an official announcement and Boss Ma and Si Mingyu didn't know each other, they only knew about it. But Si Mingyu was a shareholder of Penguin and had dealt with Ma before, so Ma called him to congratulate him after hearing the news.
In this situation, Si Mingyu directly organized a party. In addition to these three people, he also invited Mr. Chen from the currency station to have dinner at his home.
Lei Jun and Zhang Yiming were picked up by Si Mingyu's private jet. Pony Ma has his own private jet and it was very convenient for him to come from Hong Kong. Mr. Chen is in Shanghai.
Si Mingyu's current wealth and status are no less than these people. The only thing he still lacks is foundation, but Gu Shuanghui's connections make up for it.
Inviting them to your home for dinner is an act of intimacy, so naturally you are giving them face.
After several people got off the plane, Si Mingyu directly used his own helicopter to pick up the guests from the airport.
"Brother Xiao Ma, it's been a while since I last saw you. You're still as charming as ever. Please come in." Si Mingyu greeted him on the tarmac.
"You're welcome, Mr. Si." Brother Xiao Ma bowed.
He was the last to arrive and chatted with Si Mingyu all the way to the restaurant on the first floor of the observation deck.
At this time, Lei Jun, Zhang Yiming and Mr. Chen were talking about this garden.
They are all wealthy and knowledgeable people. No matter how expensive the garden is, they can afford to build it and live in it. The main thing is the location.
It is true that there is a villa area next to the Xijiao Hotel, but not everyone can get such a large piece of land so close to it. What is more important is the approval right for helicopter flights.
What kind of place is Shanghai? What kind of place is Xijiao Hotel? It is extraordinary that you can have your own helicopter fly away just by saying hello.
As Xiao Ma Ge walked along, he looked at the garden with admiration, secretly comparing it with his villa in Hong Kong, and felt that Si Mingyu was indeed unusual.
Xiao Ma Ge built his own villa, so he naturally knew that the construction period would not be a matter of one or two years. Looking at the trees around him, they don't look like they were planted in recent years.
In his opinion, this garden must have been left by Si Mingyu's family. Considering that he inherited Guoxing Group Co., Ltd., he felt relieved.
The so-called family dinner is just an excuse. These people have eaten everything, and the main purpose is to sit together and chat.
Although there is business competition among people in the Internet industry, it does not affect their private interactions.
It's all business and there is no grudge between us. We will cooperate without hesitation when we encounter a need for cooperation.
In the tea room on the third floor, Zhang Ningxi prepared tea for everyone.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry about it. We can do it ourselves." Zhang Yiming really admires Si Mingyu for giving his girlfriend nearly 10 billion yuan before they even got married.
"Don't mind if you laugh at me. I worked hard to learn tea art, but my husband doesn't drink tea much. I'm taking this opportunity to show off." Zhang Ningxi said with a smile.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Lei Bushi took the teacup and said.
Zhang Ningxi is now worth nearly 10 billion yuan. Apart from Si Mingyu, there are really not many people worthy of her making tea, but there are not many young people who can sit down and drink tea quietly.
After rambling on about some industry matters, Si Mingyu finally got to the point: "I have a document here for you to look at, but let's make it clear in advance that this is just for review. I trust that you won't disclose it to anyone else."
"Let me see what's so serious." Lei Jun picked up the document and smiled.
"Since Mingyu trusts us so much, he will definitely not reveal it." Xiao Ma Ge, Mr. Chen and Zhang Yiming also picked up the documents in front of them.
What Si Mingyu could show them was definitely not confidential, and he was not afraid that they would take any action after knowing it, but it was definitely something that would have a huge impact if the news was leaked.
"Are you serious?" Lei Jun was a little unbelievable.
"I didn't quite believe it at first, but I did verify it and it's true." Si Mingyu gave an affirmative answer.
"Then what are you showing us?" Zhang Yiming asked uncertainly.
"I'm short of money." Si Mingyu answered straightforwardly.
"You just paid back over 100 billion yuan in loans from the bank." Xiao Ma Ge is very well-informed.
"To be honest, this is still risky, so I want to find someone to share the responsibility." Everyone here is a sensible person, so there is no need to beat around the bush.
"Why didn't you ask Mr. Ren and Lao Wang about this?" Lei Jun felt that it was a bit lacking for Si Mingyu to bring together a group of Internet companies to do this. Mr. Ren's China Promising Company and Lao Wang's Asia Invincible Company were the real needs.
"The higher-ups think it's better to walk on two legs than to put all your eggs in one basket."
They immediately understood what Si Mingyu meant. This was the official practice: let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Once a technology was mastered and put into production, they would go all out, even selling diamonds for dirt-cheap prices.
