Who is the richest man in the world at present?
Bill Gates, the richest man in the world and the former richest man in the new industry, once predicted that the next richest man in the world will come from the biological products industry! However, he was wrong. The new richest man in the world was born in the telecommunications industry. At the beginning of this month, Mexican telecom giant Carlos Slim He Lu was crowned the richest man in the world with his huge personal assets and amazing growth rate. According to the calculation of Eduardo Garcia, the founder of Mexican authoritative online financial magazine "* * * with feelings", Slim's personal worth had reached $67.8 billion by the end of June, surpassing Gates' 8.6 billion. At present, Forbes magazine has not made a statement on this, but the 2006 global rich list published by Forbes in March this year shows that Gates ranks first with $56 billion in assets, while Slim ranks third after Warren Buffett with $49 billion in personal assets. However, Forbes.com announced in April that according to the latest statistics, Slim's personal assets have reached $536,543.8 billion, surpassing Buffett. Slim's wealth has grown at an alarming rate, with a monthly income of $3.5 billion in 2007, averaging nearly $5 million per hour. It is expected that Slim's personal assets will increase even more when Forbes announces the new rich list next year. It seems that his position as the richest man in the world should be certain. It is not surprising that the world's richest man was born in the telecommunications industry. Some experts have long predicted that the future world-class rich should appear in high-tech fields such as science and technology, media and communication. The Microsoft Kingdom of Bill Gates, which is popular all over the world, has also taught you a good lesson. Chen Ping, a professor at Xiamen University, said in an interview that the so-called future richest man in the world should have three characteristics: First, we should grasp the biggest trend in the future, not just a trend and fashion. Many years ago, Bill Gates published a book called Embracing the Future. Gates said that in the 2 1 century, mastering information is not as good as mastering trends, and mastering trends is not as good as mastering the biggest trends in the world. It means that if we can grasp the general trend, then we have the golden key to open the door of wealth. Secondly, it must be global expansion, because the market is the key to getting rich, and the global market can easily double the income. For example, more than 50% of Microsoft's business is outside the United States, and only one American market is not enough to support Microsoft's career. Third, it must be a diversified capital expansion model. Slim is based in the telecommunications industry, and his investment fields include banking, agency, insurance, Internet business, catering, retail, electronics, petroleum facilities, steel, cement and even airlines. The richest man in Saudi Arabia, Alwaleed bin Talal, started his business as a trade agent and contractor, and his shares spread all over the commercial fields, including Citibank, news company, Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola, McDonald's, Disney, Apple, Motorola, AOL-time warner Inc., Ford, Amazon, Yi Bei, Kodak, Xerox and a series of internationally renowned enterprises. If it is a single development model, it must be an emerging industry that is subversive to traditional enterprises. For example, Gates's computer software career. From the above point of view, there is no doubt that science and technology, media, communications, new energy and other industries will be fertile ground for producing the richest man in the world in the future. Why is it difficult for traditional industries to create the richest man in the world today? Because traditional industries did not quickly dominate the charm of the global economy, for example, today's booming real estate industry in China has created most of China's richest people, but none of them are world-class. Because it is absolutely impossible for the real estate industry to support a world-class rich man, just imagine, who will buy land and build cities all over the world? On the contrary, chain operation, brand agency, e-commerce, interpersonal network and capital operation can create miracles and create "wealth" quickly. Although Slim can't use a computer, he began to enter the field of Internet and personal computers in 2000. He first acquired CompUSA, the largest computer retailer in the United States, and later co-founded a Spanish website with Microsoft. Guo Taiming, the richest man in Taiwan Province, seized the development opportunity of the information industry and stood out in the IT field. His assets surpassed those of Wang Yongqing, which has been engaged in traditional industries such as plastics and petrochemicals for decades, and he jumped to the top, becoming a upstart in technology and capital like Saudi Talal and Mexican Slim. Only entrepreneurs who have a vision of the future world can seize the greatest opportunity in the future. The birth of the new richest man in the world, the key factor is not money, but thought.
