Chapter 2290: Chapter 2110: Rich Enough to Rival a Nation First place. In the hearts of Huaxia people, it holds a special significance. Tang Qing became Huaxia’s richest person, yet, he didn’t become the richest in the world, many people felt discontented. Indeed. In the past. The richest in Huaxia and the world’s richest were entirely different concepts, the gap was too large. Just take the last year before Tang Qing became famous, 2004. The assets of the world’s richest surpassed forty billion. In dollars. That year. Li Jiacheng’s assets were only over one hundred and twenty billion dollars, and looking back at the richest in the mainland at that time. First place---Huang Guangyu, total assets: one hundred and five billion. Dollars? No. RMB! Converted to dollars, it was only several billion, a vast difference. But now things are different, Tang Qing’s personal assets, last year, exceeded three hundred billion dollars. Even on the global rich list, the total of third to tenth doesn’t surpass Tang Qing, Bill Gates, who dominated the list for years, was left far behind. However. With such results, he still didn’t become number one in the world? Previously it was unimaginable. Now. Given this situation, still being surpassed, how can one be at peace? "In the future, let’s support the products from Tang Qing’s subsidiary companies as much as possible. Although ERV seems unattainable, we have to believe miracles can happen." "Strive to be number one." "The world’s richest will eventually be ours." "Definitely." "ERV is impressive, but we aren’t lacking either, gathering small contributions into larger ones, individual strength combined is enough to create something phenomenal and elevate Tang Qing." "Go for it!" "That’s right." "..." Everyone holds a sense of ’challenge’ in their awe towards ERV, a bit beyond one’s means, but everyone is confident in Tang Qing. In four years. Four hundred billion. Despite not being as impressive as that of ERV, there’s still hope, as long as Tang Qing’s subsidiary companies keep thriving, there’s a chance. And this. Depends on the market. Hence. Suddenly everyone felt. They could be the decisive force for Tang Qing to surpass ERV, and for a moment, confidence surged, intending to buy anything available from Tang Qing’s subsidiaries. To buy from him. Thus. A consumption craze appeared for products under Tang Qing’s subsidiaries. ... Office. "Uh!" Tang Qing was startled by this logic, not the result of fighters inciting, but a case of a ’good’ thought, with many agreeing. Upon reflection. It’s quite nice. After all. This is beneficial for him, yet, for their enthusiasm, Tang Qing can only internally apologize: surpassing ERV does not align with our interests. ERV. Tang Qing has high hopes for it. Rapid development. Deeply rooted in Europe and America, the power territory expands increasingly, with potential enterprises and major ones with explicit and implicit hold increase daily. Simultaneously. Global expansion has not halted, now ERV is vastly different from what everyone thought of ERV a year ago, very challenging to surpass. Tang Qing has no plans to surpass. For what? Is being number one globally fun? Tch! We’ve already achieved it, chasing for a mere title without real worth doesn’t intrigue me one bit. Second. Second has its benefits. Like now. Though modest, it’s favorable in result, if he climbed to first, the public would lose goals, hence diminishing interest in supporting him. Like the Olympic Games. Haven’t held it. Expecting it. Held. Then again for the second edition...interest lacks, indifferent. So. Better leave a long-term ’goal’ for everyone, a prospect, thereby adding a few points to the happiness in everyone’s life. Because. There’s anticipation. ... Saudi. At dusk, Ayman on his own coastal farm, the mix of vegetation scent and sea breeze incredibly pleasant, for convenience of vacationing at the farm. He built a seaview villa. Simple. Modern. By the sea are two large swimming pools, one fresh water, another connected to distant seawater, where small yachts can be directly driven out into the sea. Cost him quite a bit. Of course. With vast family fortunes, this small change was negligible; when Tang Qing visited Saudi last time, he invited him over for a play, looking at the distant sea, recalling the news just received. "Ay!" Ayman sighed. "Tang Qing." "He’s defying fate!" With a net worth of four hundred billion dollars, even as a Saudi Prince, it’s awe-striking, Saudi’s wealth due to exceptionally favorable resource conditions. What about Tang Qing? Himself. Yes. A part owes to others’ help elements, undeniable is his talent, last year Saudi’s GDP was just over five hundred billion dollars, ranked twentieth globally. Not far more than Tang Qing’s net worth. Four years ago. Met for the first time in Hawaii, he already felt Tang Qing’s uniqueness. Afterward. Step by step, reached a peak even he could only look up to, his own assets could not even match a fraction of his fraction now. Ratedly speaking. It’s also his luck, his fortune overflowing, able to become friends with such a person, to cooperate together, riding the Eastern wind, he could also soar. Like a hummingbird. Currently. Already spread in Saudi, feedback is exceedingly positive, self-managed e-commerce like equipped with wings, flying upwards, promising rich returns. It’s known. This partnership with Tang Qing splits into three parts. First. Hummingbird branch. Owned by Hummingbird Holdings, they hold shares. Second. Ali branch. Owned by Alibaba Holdings, they hold shares. Third. Self-operated e-commerce owned by them, Ali and Hummingbird hold shares. The first two can be called subsidiaries, while self-operated e-commerce is independent. Future. Can be taken public, as long as rooted in Saudi, it can be taken public anytime, as a holding shareholder, naturally gaining the biggest profit. Then. Under his name, truly owning a public company, thinking this, Ayman couldn’t be more delighted, overly satisfied with this cooperation. ... Qingyan City. Jinghua Square. The first floor. At the entrance. After Jinghua Square was established, Tang’s father and Mother Tang moved over, the best location, envied by others, in the cashier, the two browse the news. Looking at the comments, wearing faces of delight. They were numb to Tang Qing’s assets, rather pleased with netizens’ attitudes, lacking animosity toward wealth, instead hoping Tang Qing’s assets grow further. Upon careful thought. It’s understood. It’s ultimately not entirely benevolence, but due to ERV, like the Olympics, everyone competes for pride, once surpassed, the heat fades too. Therefore. They hope, not to surpass ERV. Enough money is there to spend, no need to reach the mountain top and be pulled down, always climbing the mountain feels nice. A bit emotional though. Five years ago. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚 They were in a small county town, running a clothing store, earning two to three hundred daily, deducting rent and costs, able to save tens of thousands at once. Thrifty, living ordinary lives. Unexpectedly. Their son lived up to expectations. Now. Money overflowed, Huaxia’s richest, rich enough to rival a nation, just last year, Huaxia’s annual GDP was only ten times his current net worth. That’s GDP created by more than a billion people.
