After Governor Maliho announced the announcement, he quickly walked off the stage and returned to his seat.
Jiayi TV Station had already received the manuscript of the rich list ranking provided by Oriental News Company in advance. Therefore, when MacLehose announced the unveiling of the list, a picture was displayed on the TV to let the audience see it more clearly. The long list of clear pictures scrolls slowly, just like the scene, so that everyone can see more clearly.
The 100 rich people scrolled for nearly 5 minutes. The speed was not too fast nor too slow.
Basically all the famous rich people in Xiangjiang are on the list.
The audience in front of the TV were also watching and discussing.
In front of a store in Tsim Sha Tsui, more than 20 people gathered here to watch TV.
The store is very good at doing business. In order to gather popularity, it will move the TV outside every night for everyone to watch for free.
Such a result has naturally attracted many young people or middle-aged people who do not have TV at home to gather here at night.
To sit on someone else's stool, you have to buy something from the store, otherwise they would be embarrassed to occupy the current place in vain.
So, basically there are various snacks and drinks on the tables next to these people.
Some people either buy a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of beer or a pack of peanuts.
In short, such a small act of kindness has made the store's business much better than that of the surrounding stores.
At this time, these customers were watching TV, eating snacks or drinking beer, and discussing.
Of these one hundred rich people, everyone has at least heard of the first twenty or thirty rich people on the list, but many of the rich people at the back of the list have never been heard of.
“I didn’t expect that Mr. Shaw Brothers of Shaw Brothers Film Company didn’t even enter the top twenty. It’s really unexpected.”
"As expected, Mr. Li Zhaoji and Mr. Zheng Yutong both entered the top ten."
"The Rowland Kadoorie family of China Power also entered the top twenty. I didn't expect that relying on power companies could also Earn so much money.”
“The Charter King is ranked second, and he is worthy of being the richest man in Hong Kong. If Mr. Su Cheng hadn’t risen, he would have been at the top of the list now. "
"I believe other people's asset data, but I don't really believe in Mr. Su Cheng's asset data. He only has 22.685 billion Hong Kong dollars. It should be more than that. The charter king's 21.769 billion. We should still be able to believe the Hong Kong dollar assets.”
“We have no way of knowing whether his assets are real or not. After all, the companies in Sioux City are basically privatized companies, unlike other rich people on the list. The companies he controls are basically listed companies. These are relatively easy to count. However, Su City ranks first. No one should disagree. After all, even the mainstream media in the world think that he is already the richest man in the world. But I think his The assets are absolutely hidden.”
"Yes, I believe his assets, even if it is 40 to 50 billion Hong Kong dollars."
"Everyone should know who the boss of Oriental Newspaper Company is. Even Su Cheng, he seems to be the same He is a very low-key person. I heard that several times when the world's mainstream media approached him for interviews, he simply hid and refused to be interviewed. It is obvious that Su Cheng is unwilling to fully disclose his assets, but his popularity is so high. If It doesn’t make sense not to be ranked first.”
“That’s right. Who doesn’t know that Su City is the richest person in the world, and this is just a list of the richest people in Xiangjiang. The world is so big and there are so many rich people. Su Cheng can be called the world's richest man because he is worth more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he is so close to the second-largest ship chartering king."
"I don't know when it will come out. In this list of the top 100 richest people in the world, we in Xiangjiang should be able to make it to several places. Among others, Su Cheng, Charter King, Guo Desheng, Zheng Yutong, etc. should all be on the list. ”
"Xiangjiang has more than 100,000 foreign talents, but they actually occupy 26th place on the list of the top 100 richest people. We Chinese, with more than 4 million people, only occupy 74th place on the list. Proportionally speaking, the gap is too big." "Yes, Xiangjiang should be our Chinese territory. I hope that Chinese-funded consortiums will gradually rise and suppress foreign-funded consortiums! ”
Everyone was talking a lot, and many people obviously didn't believe in Su City's assets, but they did agree with the overall ranking on the list.
When the list finished scrolling, a burst of warm applause broke out again.
There are too many rich people in Xiangjiang.
The 100th place actually exceeds HK$200 million. How many billionaires are there in all?
In this era, the wages at the bottom level are only a few hundred Hong Kong dollars a day.
A small city in Hong Kong hides so many billionaires, many of whom have never been heard of and no one has thought of.
The guests around Su City congratulated him one after another. This time, the title of the richest man in Su City was truly worthy of his name.
Previously, it was just the media who were touting it, and there was no authoritative data showing that Su Cheng was really the richest man in Hong Kong or even the world.
Now, although this list cannot show that Su Cheng is the richest man in the world, at least he is the richest man in Hong Kong.
"At the end of the press conference, I also announce something to everyone. Our detailed list of the Oriental Xiangjiang Top 100 Rich List will be published on "Oriental Fortune" so that everyone can read it at any time. The price is not expensive and only requires 2 Hong Kong dollars, everyone is welcome to buy. Finally, I wish you all a good night. Goodbye!" Chen Zhibai finally took the stage to announce the end of the press conference.
This rich list press conference ended in just one hour.
But its influence is getting stronger and stronger.
The next morning, a copy of "Oriental Fortune" magazine also appeared for sale in newsstands and bookstores in Xiangjiang, Haojiang, Singapore and other places.
In this "Oriental Fortune", there is not only the Oriental Fortune 100 list, but also various anecdotes in the business world. After all, it is impossible to create a magazine based on a ranking list.
"Oriental Fortune" was already being planned when Oriental Newspaper Company was preparing the Hong Kong Rich List.
Creating a rich list, fame is only one of them, maximizing profits is the job of their company.
After all, Oriental Newspaper Company is not a charitable enterprise, it mainly focuses on making money.
So, when we contacted these rich people during the investigation, they also pulled a lot of advertisements for "Oriental Fortune" magazine.
These advertisements will be embedded in "Oriental Fortune", or appear in the form of soft articles, or directly modified into graphic advertisements.
In short, although everyone does not know how much sales this "Oriental Fortune" magazine can have, because of their inclusion on the list, many bosses are very generous, with advertising sponsorships, even exceeding 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
Although HK$10 million may not seem like much, in fact, in the print media industry of this era, it is already quite powerful. (End of this chapter)
