Capítulo 1084: Chapter 679: Cheng Zhu Makes the Forbes List
Shen Minglang, it’s exploded.
Everyone in the WeChat group has made it onto the Forbes list.
“But, cousin, how did you end up on the most prestigious China Rich List!”
This year, the Forbes China Rich List has a total of 400 places.
Though the dia generally only announces the top 100, in the 16th year, there are indeed 400 spots.
The thing that left Young Master Shen speechless was: “The student status is really handy!”
“Being young is really great!”
Yes, after Cheng Zhu got listed, his popularity across the internet was directly on par with the richest man!
In fact, his internet popularity faintly overshadowed the richest man!
Being the richest man year after year, of course, must have been incredibly impressive in those years.
But since it’s recurring, it doesn’t co as a surprise.
It’s known that the Forbes list not only reveals wealth but also age and industry!
Among a crowd in their forties and fifties, or even sixties and seventies, suddenly an early twenty-sothing appears. Isn’t that startling?
What’s more deadly is, Cheng Zhu was born in 1996, and now it’s only 2016.
Which ans, he’s just 21 by virtual age.
The richest person is 62 this year.
The age gap is nearly threefold.
There are even marketing accounts online posting street interviews now.
The question being asked is: “How do you think a person born after ’95 could get onto the Forbes Rich List?”
The passersby responses were varied, but the core was similar.
“Winning the lottery? That’s probably not enough, right? Winning the lottery isn’t enough to get on Forbes, is it?” This even turned into a rhetorical question.
The person next to them joked, “Then just win several tis, keep winning!”
“When do you stop then? Hahaha!”
Soone else responded, “Those super-rich second generations, inheriting a fortune, could make it, right?”
“That’s hilarious, if the kid makes it onto the Forbes Rich List, the father probably drops in ranking?”
“An unexpected inheritance?”
In the seventh segnt of interviews, the last girl hit the essence.
She listened to the question, furrowed her brow, falling into thought.
After a while, she tentatively spoke two words.
“Cheng Zhu?”
She wasn’t sure if Cheng Zhu, with his current level of wealth, qualified to be on the Forbes China Rich List.
Because for many ordinary people, they only care who the richest person is. They might not know how much it costs to make the list, let alone the criteria for making it.
As a result, her answer actually left the interviewer speechless.
He nodded slightly and awkwardly after a two-second pause, his tone rather surprised.
“You got it right!”
…
…
Cheng Zhu’s listing instantly topped the trending searches on Weibo and Youuqu.
However, the comnts from the users on the two sides varied slightly.
On Weibo, it was the sa old style, all expressions of awe.
On Youuqu, it was hilarious.
“Yo, turns out your boss is so capable?”
“This trending topic is clearly not bought!”
“I just want to see how many days this trend will last!”
The silly netizens even began to entertain themselves.
But, regarding Cheng Zhu’s listing, the vast majority of people are convinced, without much sarcastic backlash.
Admittedly, the society doesn’t lack people who envy the rich, especially those who envy people born into wealth.
But Cheng Zhu is different.
He truly is the epito of starting from scratch.
A re 21-year-old young man, without relying on parents, without a background, started from e-comrce, and within such a short ti made it onto the Forbes China Rich List—what an incredible phenonon!
If that’s not a comrcial genius, then there’s truly none among the younger generation in the country.
As reports and trending searches on him increase, his business empire once again surfaces in the public’s view.
This made Youu Tea and Youuqu gain another wave of popularity, even boosting the sales of [Persistent Visit].
Not to ntion the comnt sections of major social platforms, even the comnt areas of the [Persistent Visit] store got hit by silly netizens.
“I’m post-95, buying this stuff not for indecent reasons! Just purely to let Cheng Zhu, as a representative of the post-95s, continue climbing the ranks next year!”
“I buy one, you buy one, see you on the list next year, Cheng Zhu!”
“Let see the quality of the post-95 richest man’s stuff.”
As for the Technology University side, the whole school was boiling!
The dia reporters started crowding at the school entrance again, wanting to find a chance to interview Cheng Zhu.
The headquarters of Youuqu and Youu Tea were the sa.
This made the slightly stooped backs of the University President and Dean Zhang of the Information College straighten once more.
“What an honor!”
If he were a graduate, the school leaders wouldn’t have felt so strongly.
After all, which good university doesn’t have a few impressive alumni?
But the issue is, he’s currently a student!
The internal teaching staff circle of the school was joking.
“Who needs an admissions brochure, just print Cheng Zhu’s portrait on it!”
“That’s right, he’s famous again, and he’s handso too!”
“I heard that this year, the male-to-female ratio in the Information College has improved; more girls are learning computer science now!”
“Really?”
“Yes! If you don’t believe it, check for yourself!”
Back in Cheng Zhu’s previous life, many schools would post videos of beautiful senior sisters on their official TikTok accounts during admissions.
So would speak at the school gate, and so would even dance right there.
The school has even considered recording a video of Cheng Zhu!
anwhile, students on the school’s forum started calculating Cheng Zhu’s wealth.
“There’s only that many people at our Technology University.”
“So, if Cheng Zhu’s money were evenly distributed among everyone… wow!”
“Everyone could get six figures, damn it!”
People often see billions on the internet, but they don’t really have a concept of it.
Once such posts are made, people instantly grasp the concept.
What does it an to be a campus tycoon?
This is what it ans to be a campus tycoon!
If we “take out” this rich man, the whole school could rise to fa!
For a mont, the alumni of Technology University were stunned.
The students of Computer Science Class Two felt their heads buzzing.
Damn, have we been in training and class with a legendary figure…
A few mischievous classmates started to stir trouble.
“We should sneak in and steal Brother Zhu’s textbooks.”
“And his notebooks too.”
“I suspect they have his signature, which could be sold for a fortune online!”
Recently, several school leaders have been interviewed by the dia, especially local dia in Hang City.
To their surprise, these old n and won looked radiant in front of the caras, their spirits seemingly better than before.
Especially Dean Zhang.
After all, his excellent son, Zhang Sixing, is following Cheng Zhu.
As Cheng Zhu becos more exceptional, naturally his son does too.
Moreover, Youuqu is thriving, and Zhang has contributed significantly to it.
For soone like Dean Zhang, who values academic purity, money isn’t that important.
What he values is: “Sixing is realizing his self-worth!”
He vividly rembers when his son was in a state of decay.
That self-destructive look made him and his wife feel heartbroken.
“It’s better now, much better now!”
Over the past year or so, Dean Zhang has seen his wife cry several tis, but those were tears of joy.
Frankly, Cheng Zhu is truly a benefactor to their family.
To put it bluntly, Dean Zhang and his wife aren’t young anymore.
If there are too many worrying things, overthinking could shorten their lives.
Therefore, when facing the dia, Dean Zhang praised Cheng Zhu to death.
But to the dia, the person they most wanted to interview was Cheng Zhu.
Yet he declined most dia interviews.
The reason is simple.
——He’s waiting for official dia!
As he expected, with so much noise, the official dia would surely beco uneasy sooner or later.
As he expected, Zhejiang Province Daily began to reach out to him.
This ti, Cheng Zhu didn’t refuse.
After setting a ti, they would co to the Youuqu company building for a simple interview.
During the interview, the questions were quite standard.
After all, it was official dia, not asking sensational questions just to grab attention.
So dia, when asking questions, even have no limits, which can be quite troubleso.
The only question that made Cheng Zhu raise his eyes and slightly arch his brow was: “Now, your focus seems to be almost entirely on Youuqu. Have you not paid as much attention to your other companies as you used to?”
This question was relatively sharp.
But Cheng Zhu’s main concern was not the contradiction in the question.
At this mont, he’s willing to express his ambitions for Youuqu!
He smiled and replied, “It’s not like that. It’s just that Youuqu is just getting started, while companies like Youu Tea are already on the right track and developing well.”
“I can say frankly, in the industry, it’s already considered a leader.”
“Of course, taking Youu Tea as an example, even as a leader, there’s still great potential for future developnt, there are still so growth opportunities.”
“It’s just that my personal energy is limited.”
“And my shareholder partners Shen Qingning and Shen Minglang, they are very reliable people. Under their managent, Youu Tea has thrived especially this year. I only need to manage the bigger direction.”
At first, he wanted to praise Ningning, to praise the stubborn Ning Bao in such a setting.
But on a whim, he decided to include Shen Minglang as well.
After all these preparations, the focus erges.
“Moreover…” he paused slightly.
Cheng Zhu’s eyes slightly lowered, his tone deepened, and he said a line that many might not catch the implied aning, a line from Huainanzi’s Forest Discourse.
“[The Deer Chaser does not pursue rabbits]!”
