In fact, if we really want to rank them up, Tao Yushu's wealth cannot be ranked among the top ten in Hong Kong.

Because the calculation method of "Xiangjiang Political and Economic Weekly" is basically based on apparent wealth, the company's market value is the most important item.

However, it ignores the wealth accumulation of established wealthy people over the years, company dividends, financial investments, and asset appreciation. This information is difficult for "Xiangjiang Political and Economic Weekly" to fully obtain.

In addition, there are some wealthy people whose business territories extend far beyond Hong Kong.

Take Sugar King Robert Kuok, for example. His wealth shown in the rich list is only HK$7.5 billion, ranking 12th. However, in fact, Xiangjiang's assets are only the tip of the iceberg of his industry.

Others, such as the Keswick family, Shi Huaiya, Huang Tingfang, etc., only include assets in Hong Kong.

If the hidden trump cards of these veteran rich people are taken into account, it would be difficult for Tao Yushu to even crack the top 15 of the rich list.

But ordinary Xiangjiang citizens don't know this. They only see that Tao Yushu built a huge business from scratch in just five years.

In the eyes of many Hong Kong people, she is already a new generation of Hong Kong wealth legend.

Especially in the eyes of young people, their admiration for Tao Yushu is even greater than that of Li Ka-shing, who has been regarded as "Superman Li" and "Brother Cheng" in recent years.

The reason for this is also very simple. Not only Li Ka-shing, but most of the richest people at the top of the rich list relied on real estate to achieve their wealth level jump.

It can be said that one person is rich and ten thousand people are poor. They carry original sin in their bones.

But what is different about Tao Yushu is that she operates in the cultural media industry, which is much cleaner in comparison, and her reputation among ordinary citizens is also much better.

In fact, this aspect of Tao Yushu is also something that many Hong Kong rich people admire.

The scale of the industry she operates in is actually not large. Whether it is the comics industry, news industry, or film industry, it can basically only support the size of a billionaire.

But for such a niche track, Tao Yushu suddenly broke the ceiling.

The comics industry is in a monopoly, the paper media industry has the highest market value in Hong Kong, and the film industry has left Hong Kong...

For many people, being able to seize an industry is already a blessing, but Tao Yushu's tentacles are spreading wantonly in the cultural industry.

Everyone in the Hong Kong business community is now discussing that once Lam Pictures goes public next year, Tao Yushu will be promoted to a billionaire immediately.

The size of the film market in Hong Kong is HK$2 billion. If Lam Pictures was just a film company mainly based in Hong Kong, then no one would have any expectations for the listing of Lam Pictures.

The market value of such a company is over one billion Hong Kong dollars.

However, according to reports from major financial media in the past two years, the strength and potential of Lin's Pictures are far beyond what ordinary film companies can match.

In March this year, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" invested by Lam Pictures in the United States was released, with a box office of US$135 million in the United States and US$200 million globally.

If you include other subsequent income from movie peripherals, video tapes, etc., it is conservatively estimated that this movie will bring 80 million US dollars in revenue to Lin's Pictures.

The huge profits brought by the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie shocked Hong Kong filmmakers, but what made them even more envious was that Lam Films had obtained the full copyright operation of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

In the first half of the year, there was a heated discussion in the Hong Kong film industry about the copyright value of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Many people in the industry generally believed that the copyright value of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" was at least US$500 million.

Such a super IP whose first live-action film has exceeded US$200 million worldwide is simply like a cash cow.

With this cash cow, Lam Films not only maintains an invincible position in the Hong Kong film market, but also has the confidence to open up and conquer the US market.

In addition to the success of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", Lam Pictures' hard work in the Japanese market and its hard work in the European market with artistic films have made people in Hong Kong more or less aware of it.

No one dares to look down upon such a film company that has conquered cities and territories all over the world.

Many people even think that "Hong Kong Political and Economic Weekly"'s valuation of Lam Pictures is too conservative, only 3.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. The copyright value of a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" alone is probably more than this amount, and the valuation would be doubled.

Pretty much.

Lin's Pictures is a company 100% controlled by Tao Yushu. To be more precise, it is controlled by Tao Yushu and his wife.

Therefore, the net worth of "billionaires" is not an unfounded guess by business people, but has solid and reliable basis.

Of course, both the "Hong Kong Financial Weekly", the Hong Kong business community, and the general public have ignored one thing.

That is, there is a man behind Tao Yushu.

Think about why Tao Yushu was able to swallow up the Yulang organization back then? Wasn't it because of someone's hard work behind the scenes?

Three years ago, Lin Chaoyang was able to spend 100 million Hong Kong dollars. This fact is unknown to the public, but it is not a secret among the wealthy class.

So how much money does he have now?

Let alone the wealthy people, even Tao Yushu doesn't know about this matter now.

But it doesn't matter, Tao Yushu is "tortured" to extract a confession.

"How many more are there?"

"It's gone, it's really gone!" Lin Chaoyang swore.

Tao Yushu didn't believe it, and Lin Chaoyang complained: "My annual royalties are only that much, and the stock market is not a cash machine. I have to have a certain number no matter how much money I make!"

"Hmph! You are such a cunning person. You have been hiding a small treasury ever since you got married."

Lin Chaoyang suddenly became confused, "It happened so many years ago, why are you still settling old scores?"

"Okay, I won't settle old scores. Are you honest, are you really done with it?" Tao Yushu chased after him, seemingly convinced that Lin Chaoyang must still have some private money.

He looked like he was thinking hard, and then pretended to just remember it, and said, "I just remembered it when you said it, and I still have some stocks."

He found Vanke's stock certificates and said, "It's really gone this time!"

Tao Yushu took a look and then recalled: "Is this what you bought in Shenzhen the year before last?"

"yes."

"It seems that Shenzhen opened a stock exchange last month. Is Vanke one of their first listed companies?"

Tao Yushu usually pays attention to the political and economic news in the mainland, and is impressed by the news about the opening of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the first batch of listed companies.

It’s “When I subscribed for 1 yuan, did their stock price go up?”

"It seems to be 14 yuan now."

Hearing this, Tao Yushu was surprised, "One yuan becomes 14 yuan?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

After being surprised, Tao Yushu calmed down.

Lin Chaoyang originally subscribed for 2.546 million shares of Vanke, and even if it were increased 14 times, that would be more than 30 million.

It wasn't a big amount to her now. Her surprise just now was mainly because of the increase in the stock price.

After taking stock of Lin Chaoyang's small treasury, Tao Yushu joked: "I have saved a lot in the past two years!"

"Shit, I just earn some pocket money, and our family has to rely on you as the backbone."

Tao Yushu was amused by his shamelessness, "Thank you for speaking out! Now people say you are the 'man behind a successful woman', aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry? It's too late for me to be happy that I have such a capable wife.

Let me tell you, don't look at what these people say about me, in fact, they really want to be me!

You are so beautiful, capable, considerate, and virtuous——"

Lin Chaoyang's sweet words were like a bombardment. When Tao Yushu was in a daze, he heard him say: "We'd better do something important."

As he said that, Tao Yushu felt his eyes go dark.

Having been in business for several years, Tao Yushu has appeared on television, magazines, and newspapers many times, and there is no shortage of headline reports. However, the combined influence of these reports may not be as great as that of "Hong Kong Political and Economic Weekly".

People in Xiangjiang love money and respect the rich.

Tao Yushu started from scratch and has a clean background. The key is to have an outstanding image and capable temperament. In terms of personal charm, it can be said that he can crush those rich people of the older generation.

Less than a week after the release of the "1990 Hong Kong Billionaires List", Tao Yushu's popularity in Hong Kong society has greatly increased, and within a few days it became known to everyone.

When the media reported on Tao Yushu, they specifically picked her out from among the rich and gave her the title of "the richest woman", which immediately attracted the attention of many readers.

Now regardless of men, women, old or young, everyone in Xiangjiang knows that there is a richest woman in Xiangjiang.

Chinese people are very particular about not revealing their wealth. Once it is revealed, I don’t know how many people will be concerned about it.

Therefore, after the rich list of "Xiangjiang Political and Economic Weekly" was exposed, the first thing Tao Yushu did was to increase the security forces around himself and his family.

As early as April this year when Hong Kong tycoon Wang Dehui was kidnapped, Tao Yushu transferred a group of bodyguards from the mainland.

This time she became "Hong Kong's top ten richest people" and "Hong Kong's richest woman". She was even more cautious and adjusted to 15

Come here in person.

Counting this group of bodyguards who are about to arrive in Xiangjiang, the number of security personnel serving their family has reached 2

The size of 5 people.

Tao Yushu is not afraid of others saying that she is greedy for life and fearful of death, and makes a fuss out of molehills. The ancients said that a boat can sail thousands of years with caution. There have been more than one kidnapping case of wealthy people in Xiangjiang, so she does not dare to take any chances.

If her relatives are really in danger for their lives because of a little money, then what's the point of making so much money?

Just after the twelfth lunar month, the bodyguards from the mainland arrived, along with Du Feng.

"Sister! Brother-in-law!"

Du Feng, who was as swollen as a hair cake, immediately gave Lin Chaoyang and his wife a warm hug.

Tao Yushu pushed him away with a look of disgust on his face, "Who did you learn these things from?"

"I'm happy to see you!" Du Feng said with a playful smile,
