Chapter 26 The richest man in the world

Chen Feng still believed Wang Hongbin's words, so he continued to tell Cheng Wei to investigate the person who wrote a love letter to him under the pseudonym Liu Ying, but more than half a month has passed, and there has been no progress. Chen Feng couldn't help but guess in his heart that this impostor was likely to be Liu Ying's female classmate, and he must have strong anti-reconnaissance ability, plus there were no acquaintances in their class, so Cheng Wei was of course very difficult to investigate.

With the advent of New Year's Day and the passage of time, Chen Feng also had to let Cheng Wei temporarily put down the matter, of course, the two hundred yuan reward promised at the beginning was given to Cheng Wei a lot, which moved him for several days.

In 1998, the beginning of the new year, many things were waiting for Chen Feng to do.

What impressed Chen Feng the most this year was, of course, the catastrophic flood in the Yangtze River basin.

The impact and scope of this flood outbreak was much more far-reaching and extensive than the previous Typhoon No. 17, and hundreds of millions of people in several provinces and municipalities across the country were affected, millions of houses collapsed, hundreds of millions of acres of farmland were flooded, and the number of deaths and economic losses were much greater than that of Typhoon No. 17.

This catastrophic flood and Typhoon No. 17 have one thing in common: in addition to natural disasters, more man-made disasters are more.

According to the post-disaster analysis, the reason why the flood is flooding and the reason why the affected area is so extensive is because of the soil erosion caused by indiscriminate deforestation in the Yangtze River basin, and the direct consequences of the middle and lower reaches of the lake to make land and occupy the river.

Natural disasters are hidden, but man-made disasters are completely avoidable. It's a pity that although Chen Feng knows about this upcoming "history", he is powerless and can't help. I can only plan in my heart, wait for the relief measures after the disaster, and do my part. Therefore, in order to have more money to help his compatriots who are about to suffer in the future, Chen Feng will now work hard to earn money from foreigners.

Two months ago, Chen Feng had mailed the second part of the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", which had been revised and scrutinized several times, to his agent Cai Shuqing.

After intensive consultation, planning and publicity between Cai Shuqing and publishing companies from various countries, it was unanimously decided that the English version of Harry Potter Part 2 will be released simultaneously around the world. The time is set on New Year's Day in 1998. Predictably, the sales prospects will definitely be even more hot than the first one.

In the two markets of Hong Kong and the United Kingdom, which are distributed by Feiyi Publishing House, Cai Shuqing, the president, is even more confident that the number of printed copies of the first edition is set at 5 million.

Subsequently, the hot sales for nearly a month undoubtedly proved her vision. The remaining 2 million stocks were once again booked out by major bookstores.

Sales in the U.S. are even more optimistic than in the U.K., with more than half of the first two million copies sold within a month.

The sales results of various countries are all the way to the red.

With the big sale of the second part of Harry Potter, more good news has also come one by one, earlier Chen Feng let Messer in the first batch acquisition of Internet companies and game development companies, actually in the context of the financial crisis, showing a thriving atmosphere, and ** introduced a series of support policies for culture, entertainment, games and other industries last year, the future is foreseeable, in the first few industries will rise. Therefore, last month, under the construction of Messer, FENGSAI invested another 600 million US dollars to invest in MBC and SBS, two private TV stations among the three major TV stations, and became one of the major shareholders of these two TV stations. The other KBS is the most qualified and authoritative TV station, but because it is a national TV station, foreign capital cannot participate in the shares, and Messer has no choice but to give up. In the next few years, Chen Feng knows that the best kimchi dramas will be popular in China, and many popular Korean dramas are from these two TV stations, creating a large amount of foreign exchange for the first generation and becoming one of the emerging pillar industries.

After New Year's Day, in the new year, although the Chinese people do not attach much importance to it, Chen Feng still sent New Year's greetings to Messer, Cai Shuqing, Zhang Chaoyang and Ding Lei by email.

While sending New Year's greetings to Cai Shuqing, Chen Feng also talked to her about his intention to set up a charitable foundation in Hong Kong in the name of CHENFENG.

Cai Shuqing herself is very keen on charity, and she is of course very happy to hear that Chen Feng is also interested in this aspect, and she is willing to plan this charitable foundation for him.

At the beginning, Chen Feng was reluctant to invest too much money in this foundation, saying that he only had a start-up capital of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and he would add it in the future. The name of the foundation is the Hong Kong Homeland Foundation, which aims to help people in mainland China rebuild their homes and provide livelihood relief after natural disasters such as typhoons, earthquakes and floods.

20 million Hong Kong dollars, this figure is nothing to Chen Feng now, but it is not a lot for others. Cai Shuqing was very touched by his "generosity" and kindness, and said that she would do her best to help him register and set up the Homeland Foundation.

In mid-January, after Messer was busy with the first thing, Chen Feng let him enter the Indonesian financial market as soon as possible, sniping the rupiah, which was still the old routine, buying a large number of put options of the rupiah, with a term of half a month, and the cycle of accumulating several purchases, until two months later. During this period, Chen Feng also let Messer play freely, trade safely, and try to avoid losing his money because of political factors, and now Messer obeyed Chen Feng's words like a holy decree, and immediately killed Indonesia with nearly 10 billion US dollars.

Half a month later, it made a lot of profits.

Until the winter vacation of the school in February, Chen Dayong's name of the Swiss bank account has doubled to more than 120 billion US dollars, there is no doubt, if you want to choose the world's richest man now, it must be Chen Dayong, this time Chen Feng has a lesson from the past, but did not tell his father about this too shocking news, let alone tell his mother Chao Xiaolan, repeatedly told Messer to do a good job of secrecy.

At this time, FENGSAI and Messer couldn't attract attention, and for a while, his prestige and outstanding military exploits almost surpassed the financial predator Soros, and the Indonesian government publicly condemned his shameful speculative behavior and issued a wanted warrant for himself, and Messer's name was ranked ahead of Soros and others.

Think about it, Soros, these international speculators, have spent a lot of thought this time, especially after Hong Kong hit a wall twice, they have lost a lot, and in the end, the total amount of money they make is not as much as Messer alone. It can be said that their locust-like plundering operation this time completely made a wedding dress for Messer, and finally let Messer pick a big peach.

People who don't know the outside world have already regarded Messer as the new international financial predator and the richest man in the world, and countless people regard him as a hero, and his means of speculating in currencies and accurate vision in this Asian financial turmoil have been studied and admired by countless people, and his legendary experience of quickly becoming the world's richest man from an ordinary financial expert in a bank in just a few months is even more talked about.

For this reason, Messer, who is already worth tens of billions of dollars, had to pay for an independent villa near the sea and strict security measures in the middle of the mountain in Hong Kong, and brought his family to Hong Kong to settle down, and he also hired a group of top international bodyguards to protect himself and his family 24 hours a day.

He is now like Cai Shuqing, who has to become an internationally renowned news figure, painful and happy. Messer recalls the experience of the past few months, as if he was watching "Harry Potter", full of fantasy and incredible, but unlike "Harry Potter", the qiē he experienced was a real occurrence.

Messer is now very grateful to Chen Feng, the little boss, for his kindness, if it weren't for Chen Feng's thousands of instructions to let him not **, he would have been unable to help but preach to the outside world the greatness and magic of his boss.

The news that Messer became the "richest man in the world" was known by Cai Shuqing not long after. Of course, she was very shocked, she was the one who led Chen Feng and Messer when they founded FENGSAI, and she was even present when they were talking about sniping won at that time. She couldn't help but be very curious and asked Chen Feng about this on ICQ.

Chen Feng knew that he couldn't hide it, so he made a partial inform, but he attributed all the credit to Messer, the master of international financial investment management, and the money he earned this time also shrank significantly, saying that it was 70 billion US dollars, of which Chen Feng himself accounted for more than half. But Rao was so frightened that Cai Shuqing opened her mouth, and she couldn't help but regret that her intestines were almost green. She remembers very clearly that when Chen Feng and Messer were desperate to buy Korean won put options, she secretly laughed at the gambler psychology of the two in her heart. And if she had participated in it herself, she would have been at least a billionaire woman now.

There is no regret medicine in the world. Cai Shuqing is also a very open-minded and open-minded woman, she doesn't particularly value money, and after regretting it for a while, she wants to open it. There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't want it.
