185: Chapter 185: Son, Are You the Richest Man in the World?
The first few days of the new year were spent visiting relatives and friends.
On the fifth day of the new year,
Xiao Fei suddenly said at the dining table, “Dad, Mom, why don’t we take a trip to the Lighthouse Country in a few days?”
Everyone eating looked over in unison.
“Husband, why would we go there for no reason?”
Xiao Fei put a piece of beef on Yuxin’s plate and said, “No particular reason, just that a rocket nad after our babies is being launched there.”
“Let’s go watch it.”
As soon as he said this, the dining table fell into an eerie silence.
After a long mont, Xiao Jun was the first to speak: “You brat, are you joking?”
“I’m not.
You guys know Musk’s SpaceX, right?”
Wang Fang and Mrs.
Tang didn’t, but Xiao Jun and Tang Dingyuan had heard of it, and naturally, Tang Yuxin knew about it too.
“I own about 22% of SpaceX shares.
I invested in it a while ago.
Now, aside from Musk, I’m the largest shareholder.”
“That’s why the rocket is nad after the babies.
Originally, Musk wanted to na it after , but I decided against it.”
Tang Yuxin reached out and touched Xiao Fei’s forehead.
“Husband, are you running a fever?”
“No.”
Xiao Fei chuckled and brushed her hand away.
He said, “Rember BYD?”
Everyone nodded.
Xiao Fei’s investnt in BYD was already known to both families after he told Tang Yuxin.
When the four parents first learned that Xiao Fei was a major player in BYD, they couldn’t believe it at all.
“Recently, our country has been heavily promoting new energy vehicles.
BYD just acquired new battery technology, and after the news broke, BYD’s stock soared, while Tesla’s stock plumted—and the drop was significant.”
“Because of this, Musk has been having financial issues lately.
I took advantage of this opportunity to invest.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so easy.”
Everything he ntioned, aside from his investnt reasons, was true.
Tesla’s stock had indeed plumted because of BYD’s technological edge, and Musk really had financial problems due to this.
“Even so, Tesla’s drop shouldn’t affect SpaceX, does it?
Let calculate… SpaceX’s valuation is said to be over $40 billion.
Husband, you have 22%…”
As she calculated, Tang Yuxin’s eyes practically turned into the shape of dollar signs.
“Stop calculating.
It’s about $8 billion or so.”
Clang.
Mrs.
Tang’s chopsticks fell to the ground.
Was her son-in-law… really this impressive?
She always knew Xiao Fei was exceptional, being a shareholder in several well-known conglorates.
While not holding controlling stakes, his shares in the boards were still quite significant.
But Mrs.
Tang could never have imagined that Xiao Fei was wealthy to this extent.
Her mouth went dry.
In her mind, Xiao Fei’s total assets were at most just a few billion yuan.
And now, out of nowhere, he had over $8 billion.
“So, how about it?
Shall we all go together?”
Everyone exchanged glances.
In the end, the four elders waved their hands.
“We’ll pass,” Tang Dingyuan said.
“We don’t understand foreign languages anyway.
Whether it’s eating or living, we wouldn’t be comfortable there.
You young people can go instead.”
Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin tried to persuade them a bit more, but they still couldn’t convince them, so they didn’t insist further.
After learning about this, Tang Yuxin remained extrely excited.
Fortunately, though, she wasn’t soone who liked to show off.
Even though she could now buy all sorts of top luxury goods as easily as daily necessities, her spending remained modest.
The secondary card Xiao Fei gave her had total expenditures of less than a million so far.
The biggest expense was the watch she bought for herself during their beach vacation.
“Da Bao~~~”
Tang Yuxin pinched Da Bao’s cheeks.
“Daddy and Mommy will take you to see the rocket, okay?”
Da Bao was puzzled but, having frequently watched docuntaries, had a vague idea about rockets despite being just over a year old.
In Da Bao’s little mind, a rocket was sothing that could fly really, really high.
The little one’s eyes lit up instantly.
After lunch,
Xiao Jun suddenly asked Xiao Fei, “You brat, just how much money do you actually have now?”
“Eh?
I don’t know.”
Xiao Fei shook his head outright.
The family collectively lost their composure.
“Do a rough estimate.
Give so ntal preparation…”
Xiao Jun’s suggestion received unanimous support from the family.
Even Tang Yuxin was curious to know just how wealthy her husband—the man who could seemingly do everything, apart from swimming—actually was.
So Xiao Fei began calculating.
“Hmm… I own 1% of JPMorgan Chase’s preferred shares, roughly $2 billion, or ¥13 billion.”
Xiao Jun’s breathing hitched imdiately.
“I own 63% of Shengshi Entertainnt, around ¥9 billion.”
“Cough, cough, cough…!!!”
Tang Dingyuan choked violently on his food.
“I hold 12% of Walt Disney, which is about ¥12 billion.”
Wang Fang’s eyebrows twitched rapidly.
“For BYD, I have 22%.
That’s… ¥140 billion.”
Tang Yuxin clutched at her chest.
She felt like her heart was racing wildly!
“Then there’s Wansheng Group, worth around ¥4 billion, I guess?”
Seeing Xiao Fei’s nonchalant deanor, everyone felt an overwhelming urge to knock so sense into him.
“Finally, there’s Space, which, as ntioned earlier, is about $8 billion, or ¥51.7 billion.”
“Adding it all up…”
“Enough!”
Just as Xiao Fei was listing his assets, Tang Yuxin had pulled out her phone, opened the calculator app, and began adding the figures one by one.
“Altogether, it’s ¥229.7 billion, which is roughly $35 billion!
This doesn’t even include real estate, vehicles, and bank account balances, let alone that private jet.
Just these assets alone are worth over $35 billion.”
Wang Fang’s voice trembled: “S-so much money…?
Son, are you the richest man in the world?”
“How could I be, Mom?”
Xiao Fei chuckled.
“If I rember correctly, last year or the year before, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos had over $180 billion in assets.
I’m nowhere near that.”
“Not to ntion globally; even dostically, those surnad Ma are still wealthier than .”
Tang Dingyuan took a deep breath, his hand holding a cigarette trembling slightly.
“Even so, this is terrifying… Xiao Fei, just how exactly did you make so much money?”
“Various investnts, accumulated gradually.
My investnt foresight is excellent.
Yuxin can vouch for that, right?”
Tang Yuxin nodded furiously, her adoring gaze at her husband making the elders a little uncomfortable.
“My husband’s investnts really are incredible.
None of the stocks he’s invested in have dropped, and they’ve all surged crazily.”
As they continued chatting, everyone’s attention eventually shifted to the three babies.
“Hey… I just realized sothing…”
Out of nowhere, Tang Yuxin exclaid, “These three little ones are heirs to over ¥200 billion in assets?”
