After Zhao Benshan received Xiang Nan's invitation, he readily agreed.

Firstly, he and Xiang Nan are both from the Northeast. The biggest advantage of Northeastern people is their unity; secondly, he has also invested in film and television dramas in recent years. "Liu Laogen" and "Ma Dashuai" are both very popular.

As the saying goes, a fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs. It is inevitable that when two companies cooperate, they will share their needs.

After Uncle Shantou nodded, "A World Without Thieves" immediately began preparations for filming. Script review, actor audition, makeup setting, script reading, location scouting... a series of tasks that were very troublesome.

…

During the preparation of "A World Without Thieves", the media suddenly broke a shocking news - Xiang Nan is actually the largest individual shareholder of Tengxun Group, accounting for nearly 30% of Tengxun's shares.

And given that Tencent is applying to be listed in Hong Kong, the value of the shares held by Xiang Nan is likely to skyrocket. It is worth about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation across the country.

People knew that Xiang Nan made money, but they didn't expect that he was so rich. He was just twenty-four years old and he was already so rich. It was really scary.

You know, in the Hurun Rich List launched in 2003, he was enough to rank in the top 20. In other words, Xiang Nan is only 24 years old, and he is already one of the richest people in China.

"Oh my God, two billion Hong Kong dollars, he is so rich!"

"With so much money, when will he spend it all?"

"As expected of the person I like, he is awesome!"

The people praised him one after another.

…

But before they could calm down, the media soon broke the news again.

It turns out that Xiang Nan is not only a shareholder of Tencent, but also a major shareholder of Baidu, NetEase, Sohu, Alibaba, Xinxang and other Internet companies.

The total stocks he holds are worth about 8 billion yuan. As a result, NetEase CEO Ding Lei's title of richest man was taken away by him.

The 24-year-old richest man in China!

This title shocked not only the Chinese people, but also the foreign media.

Who would have thought that a young man could actually make money so much.

For a time, the media asked Xiang Nan for interviews one after another. The American "Time" magazine wanted to ask him about his secret to getting rich.

As for all the colleagues at Youth Studio and even the crew of "A World Without Thieves", they looked at him with respect and admiration, just like looking at a statue of a god.

…

"Yuan Hua, do you really have as much as eight billion?" Qiu Ya asked curiously.

"Absolutely." Xiang Nan nodded.

Eight billion is actually just the value of the stocks he holds. But in fact, if you include the real estate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. in his hands, it is more than eight billion.

When Qiu Ya heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Why have I never heard you say that before?"

"What's there to say?" Xiang Nan smiled, "If you have enough money, it's just a string of numbers."

"Numbers?! I really want to have a string of numbers." Seeing that he spoke so lightly, Qiu Ya couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, and then sat down next to Xiang Nan with a flattering smile, "Yuan Hua, you have so much money, how about me?" share?”

Xiang Nan glanced at her and smiled, "As long as you follow me well, I won't treat you badly."

"Really?!" Qiu Ya suddenly said excitedly, "It's settled, I will definitely be obedient."

Eight billion yuan, even if it is divided into one-tenth of her money, it will be enough for her to spend her whole life.

…

Subsequently, Xiang Nan accepted exclusive interviews from several well-known domestic and international media.

"Mr. Yuan, according to our investigation, you chose to invest in these Internet companies in 2001, during the Internet bubble. But at that time, major investment banks had lost confidence in the Internet. Why did you dare to invest hundreds of millions of yuan?

What?" the reporter asked curiously.

"Because I have always had confidence in the Internet." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "I came into contact with the Internet relatively early. I have been exposed to the Internet since 1996.

It has provided me with a brand new world, broadened my horizons, and enriched my knowledge. I think I owe everything to the Internet for what I have achieved today.

Therefore, I thought that since the Internet can help me, it can also help others, so I think it is very valuable and has great potential for development. So I dare to invest.

Now, the development of these companies has confirmed my thoughts. And I feel that the development of the Internet is still far from its peak.

First, the current Internet speed is not fast enough. The current broadband speed is only 512kb/s, and you can only view some pictures, text, or low-resolution videos and animations.

In the future, when the network speed increases, it will reach several megabytes or dozens of megabytes per second. At that time, people will be able to watch movies online, play large-scale online games, and even store data on the network to achieve remote office, telemedicine, etc.

Second, the current Internet is not yet popular, and computers have not yet entered thousands of households. Currently, there are less than 200 million people online in China, and there are 1.3 billion people in China, and most of them have never been online.

When these people also start to surf the Internet, read news online, watch TV online, watch movies, play games, chat online, shop online, and work online...

Then the Internet will truly become a virtual world. By then, its output value will be much greater than it is now. Therefore, I am very confident in the future development of the Internet."

After listening to Xiang Nan's talk, the reporter felt that it made sense.

…

When Xiang Nan's words were published, they immediately aroused considerable repercussions at home and abroad.

Many knowledgeable people believe that Xiang Nan is right. At this stage, the Internet has indeed just started and is far from its peak, so there is a lot of room for development.

As for the online video, online TV, online shopping, online chat, etc. proposed by Xiang Nan, some are in the ascendant, while others are still blank.

Therefore, inspired by him, many people started their own businesses.

So many years later, Xiang Nan was called the spiritual leader of the Internet.

…

After his identity as a wealthy man was exposed, Xiang Nan not only gained a lot of reputation, but also faced some minor troubles.

One is that more and more girls like him, taking the initiative to wink, send notes, send text messages... all eager to have something happen with him.

In fact, this phenomenon has existed before. Actresses who played part-time roles, female fans who liked his songs, etc. But it is not as crazy as it is now.

To be honest, if Xiang Nan didn't have a personal assistant by his side, he would be worried that he would be pushed back.

Even Zhang Ziyi, who had not been in contact for a long time, took the initiative to call him. In and out of her words, she expressed the idea of ​​getting back together. It can be said to be very realistic.

One is that more and more people are asking for money from him. Some invite him to invest in projects, some invite him to make a fortune together, and various charitable organizations come to ask for help. There are even some magicians who come to talk to Xiang Nan.

They said he was in trouble and asked him to spend money to ward off the disaster...
