Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 1104: Wealth is in our own hands (1/2)
Forbes magazine was founded in 1917 and named after its creator, Forbes. The current successor is Steve Forbes.
After launching the Forbes Rich List in 1982, Forbes gradually formed a two-horse competition with Fortune magazine.
Forbes' headquarters is in the Big Apple City, and a special interview team came to Los Angeles to interview Liu Qingshan.
"Hello, Mr. Mountain, I'm Randall."
The reporter in charge of interviewing Liu Qingshan shook hands with him very enthusiastically, and then handed Liu Qingshan a piece of paper with the outline of the interview.
After Liu Qingshan glanced at the outline, he put it on the coffee table: "Mr. Randall, I am very dissatisfied with your magazine. You miscalculated my assets."
Randall was stunned. This kind of thing really happened before, that is, Prince Hamed, who has a good relationship with Liu Qingshan.
He felt that Forbes magazine underestimated his assets by tens of billions, resulting in his ranking being shot to 18th place.
Otherwise, he would definitely be in the top ten, so Hamed was furious and sued Forbes magazine: Who are you looking down on!
Liu Qingshan continued: "Many of my assets are mortgaged to banks or other people. They are debts, so how can they be counted in? So this is unreasonable."
Randall understood a little and laughed a few times: "Then Mr. Mountain, you are not going to sue us too, are you?"
Liu Qingshan also laughed, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed and pleasant.
Then Randall explained: "Since the bank agrees to your mortgage, it means that I am worth it, and it is often worth more than the money, just like your Earth Network and Columbia Pictures, which are continuing to appreciate."
"So, Mr. Mountain, your assets are less rather than more."
This is absolutely true. These foreign banks don't like to do loss-making business. For an item worth 100 million, it is good enough for them to mortgage you 50 million.
Bankers have never been philanthropists.
After chatting for a while and getting familiar with each other, Randall officially started the interview:
"Mr. Mountain, first of all, please allow me to congratulate you on behalf of Forbes magazine, congratulations on becoming the youngest billionaire!"
Randall is already middle-aged, looking at the young and handsome face in front of him, he also has a lot of feelings in his heart:
A 27-year-old billionaire, his personal wealth ranks among the top three in the world, and he has unlimited potential in the future. How can the gap between people be so big?
"Isn't the youngest billionaire Bill?" Liu Qingshan remembered that a few years ago, when Microsoft went public, Gates was called the youngest billionaire.
And this title will be broken by the Facebook guy in the future.
The Internet industry can always create miracles.
"Mr. Gates was over 30 years old at that time, and you are only 27 years old now." Randall said with a smile.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "Well, in fact, youth is also a kind of wealth, and it is the greatest wealth a person has."
"Just like the Queen of Great Britain, if she is asked to take out half of her wealth in exchange for 30 years of youth, I think she will be very happy."
Randall now really admires the young man in front of him, who can say such philosophical words.
He nodded sincerely to Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Mountain, I think all young people will be very happy to hear this."
Liu Qingshan also smiled: "We Chinese have an old saying that time waits for no one, and we should encourage ourselves in time, so we should take advantage of our youth to work hard to do what we like and create wealth."
Randall joined in at the right time: "Then Mr. Mountain, let's talk about your entrepreneurial history first."
"As far as I know, you started from scratch, which will be very inspiring to everyone."
The rich are also divided into levels. Those who inherit their ancestral business will generally only make people envy, such as "Why is my dad not Mr. Li?"
Like the royal families of various countries, and the rich Nth generation in the family, these are all of this kind.
Now the top ten on the rich list basically belong to this kind of situation.
And people like Liu Qingshan are a bit unique. His wealth is completely created by himself, and he belongs to the first generation of rich people.
This kind of people is not only enviable, but also more admirable.
Foreign society has never hidden the pursuit and worship of wealth, so successful people like Liu Qingshan are more sought after.
Next is Liu Qingshan's story, which sounds like a legend to Randall and others.
"Mr. Mountain, you are really a lucky son!" Randall couldn't help but exclaim.
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "The goddess of luck will not favor ignorant and lazy people."
Randall realized his prejudice, and he nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Mountain, behind the seemingly lucky, it is actually the embodiment of hard work and strength."
Originally, he wanted to emphasize that Liu Qingshan was a lucky man, so he could get a huge fortune. After all, writing like this is more legendary.
But now Randall has changed his mind. Knowledge and wisdom are the best companions to change destiny. Isn't this more meaningful? wWw.7
After completing the main part of the interview, Randall asked again: "Mr. Mountain, as far as I know, many billionaires are keen on charity. Will you also use your own property to help others?"
Liu Qingshan smiled and shook his head: "I probably won't do that."
"But, even Soros can do charity." Randall was stunned. In the United States, charity is definitely a required course for rich and famous people.
"Donating to charity, that's just the least technical thing to do."
Liu Qingshan smiled and said, "Actually, there are more ways to help others."
"For example, you can open factories and provide more people with job opportunities, thus improving their living conditions. This approach is more meaningful than direct handouts."
Randall nodded: "Mr. Mountain, what did you do? Can you tell me?"
"Of course, just like the medical team I organized, they are dedicated to helping AIDS patients in Africa and have achieved very good results. These are all free of charge. This form should be more meaningful than direct donations. "
"But even if the condition of these patients is stabilized, it is still not enough to improve their living conditions, so we are trying to invest there and develop ostrich breeding together."
"Maybe in one or two years, there will be some output. In that case, I can slowly recover the cost of investment, and the local people will benefit from it."
Another example is our investment in Lilan and the construction of Rainbow City, which has provided at least more than 300,000 local indigenous people with opportunities to live and work.
"Now they can rely on their own hands to make money to support their families; they don't have to open their hands and wait for charity from others, so they can live with dignity."
Finally, Liu Qingshan concluded: "We in China have an old saying that it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish. I think teaching those in need some survival skills will be more lasting than giving them direct financial assistance."
Randall couldn't help but clapped his hands: "Mr. Mountain, what you said is great and very inspiring. I think more people will benefit from it."
Liu Qingshan smiled: "There is a long way to go to change poverty, and we really need more people with insight to join in."
"In addition to donating money and materials, it is best to guide the poor to create wealth with their own hands. This will have a wider significance."
Randall stood up and shook hands with Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Mountain, thank you for your teaching. I feel very benefited from it."
He said this completely out of respect for his inner feelings, without any pretense.
After all, many rich and famous people now do charity purely for the sake of charity and only care about the reputation they gain. They are not as careful and effective as Liu Qingshan.
According to Randall, this is true charity.
He finally realized that Mr. Mountain, a rich man, seemed different from the rich men he had interviewed.
But if he wanted to find out the difference, he was a little confused and couldn't explain clearly.
It's important for Randall to know this, because this may be Mr. Mountain's most unique personality charm, and he must capture this for this interview to be truly complete.
Since I don’t have the keen eyes to discover this, I can only take the initiative to ask:
"Mr. Mountain, can you evaluate yourself? I think chatting with you is very different from other rich people."
Liu Qingshan smiled and spread his hands: "Mr. Randall, you know that knowing yourself is the most difficult thing, and I can't do it either."
"You are too modest." Randall did not want to let go of this key question.
After thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan said: "Then let me tell you what I think. It may not be correct, but it is very applicable to me."
"We have an old saying in China, which is that if you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world. I would like to extend this sentence. If you can make more people rich and increase the overall wealth of society, then you can hope to get more great wealth.”
These words made Randall think deeply.
This was the first time he heard this argument, and he had no way of judging whether it was right or wrong.
But what is certain is that this kind of peculiar thought has never been heard of when he interviewed other rich people before.
Perhaps this is what makes Mr. Mountain independent from other wealthy people, and is a characteristic that belongs exclusively to Liu Qingshan.
But no matter what, Randall decided to report truthfully, otherwise it might trigger a widespread social discussion. In that case, his interview would be the most successful.
Unconsciously, the whole morning passed like this. Randall stood up and shook hands with Liu Qingshan:
"Mr. Mountain, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you. Thank you for accepting my interview. I wish you the best to go further on the Forbes rich list. Finally, can you give some advice to all readers?"
The richest man in the world? I will work hard!
Liu Qingshan also smiled and shook hands with Randall: "Wealth is in our own hands."

The earth was hazy, and there was a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.
The city was full of broken walls and ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, withering silently.
The streets that were once bustling are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage was deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of gloom and weirdness.
The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment left, looking alone at the mottled stones in front.
There, a figure was lying.
This is a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with tattered clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog, and sometimes vigilantly observing the surroundings.

After a long time, the opportunity came, and the greedy vulture finally completely immersed its head in the abdominal cavity of the wild dog.
