I'll Add Points To All Things Chapter 842 – World's Billionaire List Revealed

Jiang Yan lowered her head as she ate her food. At the same time, she threw a bunch of delicious-looking “bait” in front of Su Yang, causing him to feel like… It was extremely worthwhile becoming a top tycoon!

'Even though there is going to be a lot of trouble, there are many advantages to it. Furthermore, it suits my plan to expand my business.'

At the thought of this, Su Yang felt relieved. Since it had already happened, there was no point in worrying about his own personal gains and losses. He might as well face what was going to happen next head on.

'Just like what my ancestors have said, finish off the sugar coating, and shoot the rest of it back at the enemy.

'I might just be able to take a big step forward with the help of the World's Billionaire List!'

After a meal, Su Yang was mentally prepared for what would happen after he entered the World's Billionaire List. This gave him more time to prepare.

After dinner, Jiang Yan did not invite Su Yang to stay at her house. Instead, she coldly asked him to leave.

Actually, Su Yang did not want to stay in her house anymore. Not only was there a huge ice queen next to him, even the food was all cold. 'Everything she's prepared tonight is either vegetables or desserts… I can't tell if she's trying to maintain her figure, or she just wants to take the p*ss out of me.'

After a few mouthfuls, Su Yang felt as though his stomach wasn't even warm anymore.

After returning to the virtual space, Su Yang asked the Little Monster Beans to prepare some food for him to fill his stomach.

In the next few days, nothing happened. The punishment from National Films and the reviewers was still spreading. The news that Su Yang was going to be ranked in the top 30 of the World's Billionaire List caused more and more heated discussions. Meanwhile, “Wandering Planet” was still trending, and its box office was also increasing crazily.

Just like that, in the middle of February, the 16th edition of World's Billionaire List was finally released in China.

Because of Su Yang, that year's rankings list received a lot of attention.

Not only did everyone want to know if it was Mr. Wang of Wanda who was ranked first that year, or if the two Boss Mas had managed to overtake him, they also wanted to know what Su Yang's ranking was. 'Is he in the top 30? Top 20? Top 10? Top 5?'

On February 28th, when the World's Billionaire List was announced, Little Deeny, who had already set it as a keyword, informed Su Yang immediately.

Su Yang was no longer interested in this matter. He replied absent-mindedly and continued reading. It was Little Deeny who started the gossip. “Master, did you know? The rankings have changed a lot this year.”

Su Yang flipped through the pages and asked, “Oh? How big of a change is it?”

Little Deeny said, “Boss Jia, who was originally ranked 17th, is only 37th this year. Compared to last year, he's dropped 21 places.

“JD.Com's CEO, Liu Dong, who was ranked 9th last year, has dropped out of the top 10 this year and became 17th place.

“Also, Xiaomi's CEO, Lei Jun, who ranked fourth last year, dropped out of the top five this year. He didn't even make it to the top 10 and dropped straight to 13th place.

This time, Su Yang was really surprised. “That big a change?”

Little Deeny hummed twice before saying, “Mmhmm.”

Su Yang asked, “Then, who's gone up?”

Little Deeny said, “The CEO of NetEase, Ding Sanshi, rose five places to 6th place. The executive director of Tencent, Chief Technical Officer Zhang Dong, rose from 15th place to 11th place, up by four places.”

“The most impressive one is Wang Wei, the founder of Shunfeng. He rose 32 places and directly entered the top 5!”

Su Yang was shocked. “Really? That's amazing!”

Little Deeny said with a smile, “Master, this isn't the scariest yet. Someone has risen by more than 150 places and directly became 4th place!”

Su Yang was stunned when he heard that. His heart skipped a beat.

He had a bad feeling.

“Could that person possibly be… Me?”

Little Deeny hummed in acknowledgment. Suddenly, she appeared beside Su Yang with a “Poof” sound. She then threw the fresh flowers that she had prepared into the sky and said, “Congratulations, Master! You've become the 4th highest tycoon on China's World's Billionaire List!”

Su Yang was speechless.

As she said that, “Bang! Bang!” There were two sounds of firecrackers being set off. The sky was filled with colorful ribbons and confettis, as if they were celebrating this happy occasion!

However, Su Yang was not excited at all.

He only had one thought. 'F*ck! I think I… Tricked Chu Xia!'

Su Yang still remembered that he had estimated that he could only get into the top 10 and not the top 5. Then, he confidently told Chu Xia to choose the top 10 option…

In the end, let alone being in the top five, he was now placed 4th?!

'Am I going crazy?'

At the thought of this, Su Yang could not help but ask Little Deeny, “Little Deeny, is it because the wealth of this year's tycoons did not increase much?”

Little Deeny did not expect Su Yang to ask such a question at such a happy moment. She tilted her head and said, “No, there's a lot of growth. For example, the original 5th place had 80 billion yuan last year, but he's gained 100 billion yuan this year.”

Su Yang was speechless.

Su Yang had an ominous feeling in his heart. “How much am I worth then?”

Little Deeny smiled and said, “120 billion yuan!”

Su Yang was speechless.

Su Yang was a little crazy at the time. “Since when do I have that much money?!”

'If I told Chu Xia that I didn't even expect myself to be this rich, would she believe me?

'Somehow, I've got this feeling that I'm hiding my actual assets.'

At this thought, he ignored Little Deeny's celebration. Instead, he summoned a virtual interface and looked at the evaluation of his wealth on the World's Billionaire List.

Zhongan Automobile was worth eight billion yuan, Jiadian Pictures was worth 10 billion yuan, Jiadian Technology was worth 80 billion yuan, Juduoduo's shares were worth 20 billion yuan, in addition to Su Yang's cash, island, and fixed assets, all added up to about 12 billion yuan.

In this introduction, Su Yang also saw a note on the World's Billionaire List. 'This valuation is based on an estimate made by five professional investment firms, so it has a certain reference value.'

Su Yang speechless.

'The people behind this list really do seem to be quite the something… They've even found out everything that I've had hidden?

'For example, Zhongan Automobile only has Zhongan Town as collateral, doesn't it? So it's valued to be around eight billion yuan.

'Furthermore, in order to estimate my net worth, they actually hired a professional company?

'I… I really am lost for words right now.

'However, won't it attract too much attention if I jump up from 163rd place to 4th place?'

Su Yang's worries were not unfounded. The moment the list of Chinese tycoons was released, all the tycoons and forces around the world turned their attention to it. As the fastest developing country in the world in the past 20 years, China has slowly progressed from being poor and weak to second place in the world.

Therefore, for a country of this level, the change of the top tycoons was something that every country would pay close attention to because it represented a development trend.

For example, when Amazon's valuation ranking skyrocketed in the United States in the future, the world began to realize that the asset-price e-commerce model might really be the right path: Amazon had been beaten back by Taobao.

For example, when Musk's net worth soared, people knew that the market favored electric cars and aerospace…

Even though these trends had probably been sent over through a series of intelligence reports, and these people had a certain understanding of them, the change in the rankings of these super-rich people was more direct.

Therefore, in just half a day, a 19-year-old billionaire appeared before the world.

Previously, Su Yang only showed his face once because he was promoting his glass phone. However, he did not do much after that, so he was gradually forgotten by many people. Now that he had risen to power, he reminded all the wealthy people in the world of this young man with new and advanced technology…

In an antique courtyard in Japan, under a cherry blossom tree, two old men sat cross-legged on mats, drinking tea.

As they drank, the two of them chatted. “Yagawsan, what do you think of Su Yang?”

The old man named Yagawa was wearing a dark-colored kimono. He was a little bald and his face was full of wrinkles. He was the richest man in Japan, Yagawa Masaru.

Yagawa Masaru picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea. He said, “He's developing too quickly, his foundation is unstable.”

The other old man seemed to have a lower status than Yagawa Masaru. He asked respectfully, “What do you mean?”

Yagawa Masaru lowered his head and put down his teacup. “When you reach the position of a top tycoon, you don't really care about your family background, but how big the company you control is. For example, Ma Huateng, who is about as rich as he is. Although he is also only worth 100 billion yuan, he is in charge of the Tencent Group that is worth trillions of yuan.

“Although Su Yang's net worth is 120 billion yuan, the company's value is only 120 billion yuan as well.”

“So, if both of them fight, who do you think will win?

“To be able to become a top tycoon, the resources and wealth that you can mobilize are the key. Your wealth is just an empty title.

“Based on Su Yang's wealth, he should be able to get a spot on the mid-year World's Billionaire List. However… He should also be the richest person with the least amount of cash flow and power.”

Another elder poured tea for Yagawa while asking, “What does this represent?”

Yagawa said, “This means that he is a glass cannon. He has very few tactics, powers, and resources.

“Plus, he's a brat who's bossy and petty.

“If it wasn't for the fact that he doesn't know how to distribute his wealth, his shares would not have been so concentrated, and his development would not have been so slow as well.

“He has so many new and advanced technologies in his hands. If he uses them in exchange, he can get a lot of support, and he can make his country's business more competitive.

“But, he has held it tightly in his hands with no intention of sharing it. He's afraid that others would benefit from it. This proves how much of a visionary he is.

“Such a person might have a place in China's backward and peaceful market, but once he goes out into the world, he will probably be eaten up by the capital market.”

“And…” Yagawa picked up his cup of tea again and said with a smile, “I suspect that he won't even head out into the world. After all, with his age and development experience, he might not even be able to get past the pitfalls of gaining fame and power.

“Do you really think it's that easy to become a tycoon?”

Yagawa smiled and shook his head before instructing, “Have our men gather more information about the Jiadian Group. Furthermore, you can also try to invite them into the Japanese market.

“Since he's going to die in someone else's hands sooner or later, why not die in ours?

“He has a lot of good stuff after all.

“Once these things come into Japan's control, our country will prosper for another hundred years!”

At that moment, Su Yang did not know that a world-class tycoon was eyeing him from Japan. He did not know that the tycoon would have such a low opinion of him.

If he knew, he would probably say, “I don't want to share my technology?! I'm just a slave for the system! What am I supposed to do if the system gives me the finished product directly?!

“My [Black Technology Research Center] and [Glass Screen Component R&D Factory] haven't even been built yet! So, I don't even have anything to share!

“As for distributing my shares and raising funds for my development…

“Why should I raise funds when I'm not short of money?

“Are you crazy?

“Also, you say that I have small cash flow and little power…”

Su Yang really wanted to spit on Yagawa's face if he could!

“My hidden powers are strong enough to scare you to death! Do you know that I am going to control all the petroleum in Central Asia? I will cut off your supply! Let's see if you still think that I am weak then!”

Although he was complaining, there was one thing that this top Japanese tycoon was right about, it really was a big hurdle to be able to look past the pitfalls of gaining fame and power.

At that moment, Su Yang was in a state of pain and torture.

“Master, a young lady sent you a private message. Her picture and bio are in it. She wants to have a meal with you.

“Master, another large media company has sent you an invitation. They wish to interview you.

“Master, Shandong University hopes that you can give a speech when you have the time. They would like you to tell them about your path to wealth. Also, they want you to become an honorary professor there.

“Master, the provincial government of Hebei Province has sent a letter. They hope that you can understand their situation and invest in Hebei Province. They will offer generous terms in return.

“Master, a certain department in the country has sent a document regarding the selection of the top 10 most outstanding youths in the country.”

“Master, another girl sent you a private message. The contents are very… Just wow. Oh my God! My eyes!”

Su Yang was speechless.

Ever since that year's World's Billionaire List was released, Su Yang's phone had not been idle. It was filled with congratulatory messages and phone calls from everyone he knew, including Han Yi, Lin Jiali, Wu Feng, and so on. Even Qu Xiaomeng and Old Zhou (a teacher in modern history) sent messages to congratulate Su Yang.

After that, the Jiadian Group and Su Yang's Weibo and public email accounts started to explode. There were all kinds of private messages and emails from young ladies, local governments, departments, universities, and media.

He did not even know which bastard leaked Su Yang's WeChat account. Su Yang's friend request was already at 99+.

In fact, most of them were girls.

Of course, there were also some men… Which made it even stranger.

Hence, Su Yang had experienced the treatment of a top tycoon in advance. In the future, whenever he ate, there would be people throwing themselves at him…

'This kind of life really is frustrating…

'After all, if I'm not careful, I would be photographed, and I might even fall into a honey trap…'

That was actually the real issue. 'Men should learn how to protect themselves when outside as well…'

Just as Su Yang was complaining, his phone rang.

Su Yang picked up his phone and looked at it. He instantly felt embarrassed.

Because another “girl who needs him to protect her” called. Chu Xia…

When he saw Chu Xia's name, Su Yang couldn't help but recall how he had confidently told Chu Xia his ranking and wealth that day. He even made her believe him.

'So… Is she here to slap my face now?'
