We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Just as Su Cheng was lying low, escaping the limelight and taking his two beauties to Lantau Island for a vacation, hundreds of reporters were pouring into Hong Kong.

Many people only discovered after arriving that the person they wanted to interview was nowhere to be found!

When Su Cheng was on the phone with Yang Chaoye and others, he didn't reveal his whereabouts.

Moreover, he had already instructed Yang Chaoye, Zhang Qizheng, and others that if anyone wanted to get information about Su Cheng's location from them, they should just tell them that the boss had gone abroad!

The reporters from various major international media outlets felt very helpless upon hearing this news.

They couldn't just come for nothing, could they?

So, they turned their attention to the heads of Su Cheng's industries.

Such as Zhang Qizheng, Yang Chaoye, Wei Li, Li Yihui, Ouyang Hai, and so on.

Therefore, these past few days, they had been receiving a large number of reporters from all over the world every day.

These reporters gradually compiled statistics on Su Cheng's industries in Hong Kong. They didn't know until they compiled them, but once they did, they were shocked!

Hutchison Whampoa Limited, now a company with a valuation of nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, is a solely-owned enterprise of Su Cheng.

Su's Group, a group with high-quality subsidiaries like Oracle Computer Company, is now also valued at several billion Hong Kong dollars, and is also a solely-owned enterprise of Su Cheng.

Tianwen Petroleum Company, a company that was only established two months ago, actually owns crude oil worth more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is a real, tangible asset.

In addition, there are Carrian Bank, Wandehen Bank, Tianyuan Investment Company, and so on.

Moreover, reporters from the United States also found out that Su Cheng now wholly owns Nami Entertainment, a Hollywood entertainment company, which originally had a market value of 100 million US dollars.

Furthermore, Su Cheng is also a major shareholder of Intel!

They didn't know until they investigated, and they were truly shocked once they did.

This Su Cheng's assets are simply too terrifying.

After compiling the statistics, his assets are at least worth 50 to 60 billion Hong Kong dollars.

What is the concept of 50 to 60 billion?

Let's put it this way, the currently recognized richest man in Hong Kong, the shipping magnate Bao, is already a world-renowned shipping tycoon.

However, the estimated value of the shipping magnate Bao's assets is only 10 to 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, and even that is relatively inflated.

Because many of the ships in the shipping magnate Bao's Global Shipping Group were actually bought with loans, and the loans for those ships bought in the past two or three years have basically not been repaid.

In other words, Su Cheng has actually greatly surpassed the shipping magnate Bao and become the de facto richest man in Hong Kong.

Some people even speculated that Su Cheng has actually become the richest man in the world.

Converting 50 to 60 billion Hong Kong dollars into US dollars would be more than 10 billion US dollars.

No one has ever believed that one person would possess so many assets, with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars.

Even those consortia and hidden families may not necessarily have this much wealth.

For example, in the first Forbes list of the richest people in the United States, which was released four years later, the richest person was only worth 2 billion US dollars. Now, Su Cheng already has more than 10 billion US dollars in assets, which naturally shocks everyone.

This is even without them being able to find out about the many listed companies' stocks secretly controlled by Tianyuan Investment Company. If they were all found out, they would be even more surprised.

As a result, the focus of mainstream media reports began to change.

They originally reported on the 170 million barrels of crude oil, but now they are all scrambling to dig up and report on Su Cheng's assets.

The British newspaper giant "The Times" ran an in-depth report with the headline "Hong Kong businessman Mr. Su Cheng has assets exceeding 10 billion US dollars and may have become the richest man in the world."

The US "New York Times" directly put the headline "The boss behind Oracle Computer, or has become the richest man in the world, with assets exceeding 10 billion US dollars!" on the most prominent position on the front page of the newspaper.

"Tokyo Economic News", "South Korean Daily", "Singapore Morning Post", etc., also successively published similar news, and all placed the articles in the most prominent positions in the newspapers that day.

Su Cheng was not yet aware that he had only started selling oil, but had suddenly become the world's media-recognized richest man in the world.

At this time, he was enjoying himself on Lantau Island, enjoying the service of Ah Jiao and Ah Mei every day, and watching the most beautiful sea view in Hong Kong.

"Currently, the international crude oil price is not much different from the price two days ago. Today's latest price is at $46.2 per barrel. Yesterday, it rarely dropped by $0.1, but it has risen back today.

A few days ago, taking advantage of the many media interviews, I directly announced our crude oil sales conditions to the world. Subsequently, more than a dozen petrochemical companies have asked us to purchase crude oil. These oil companies are from Singapore, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, and other places. The currently compiled demand is about 10 million barrels, and they have all agreed to our sales conditions and are ready to sign sales contracts at any time," Li Yihui said in detail.

10 million barrels of crude oil, at today's price, that would be 462 million US dollars.

"Sell it, sell as much as you can in the future! My condition is very simple, as long as the international crude oil price exceeds $40 per barrel on that day, sell!" Su Cheng said directly.

Previously, he had already sold 13.8 million barrels, and now if he sells another 10 million barrels of crude oil, he will still have 146.2 million barrels of crude oil, which is still a long way from selling all of it!

Moreover, the oil field in Brunei is also producing crude oil. After all 170 million barrels of crude oil are sold, he will still have crude oil to sell!

It is impossible to keep hoarding this oil like this. No one knows how high it can rise.

At least, the current price is already super high, and Su Cheng is already very satisfied with selling at this price.

"Okay, received! By the way, there is one more thing I don't know if you know, boss. Now you are the world's recognized richest man in the world, congratulations, boss!" Li Yihui continued with a smile.

"The world's recognized richest man in the world?" Su Cheng asked in a somewhat confused manner.

He hadn't even been to the Nanyang Refinery these past few days on Lantau Island.

Every day, he was basically near the seaside villa, or out fishing at sea, and of course, there were no newspapers.

Therefore, he was not aware of what was happening outside.

"Yes, boss, during these few days that you have been lying low, major media outlets around the world have visited Hong Kong and found out about the companies you own. Finally, they estimated your assets, and now, almost everyone believes that you are definitely the current richest man in the world," Li Yihui said with a smile.
