Extraordinary Genius

Chapter 1008 – What’s your name again?

Many people felt it was unbelievable after reading the newspaper article, and those few tycoons, who were formerly listed on <Forbes> list of Chinese billionaires, felt embarrassed.

In the past, they thought they own the world with 3 to 4 billion USD, or at least they are one of the top wealthiest men in China.

But now, they realized they are just embarrassing themselves. Even when all of them add up their wealth, they cannot compare to Feng Yu! The difference is too big!

Many of these people had got on the list because of their family’s wealth. For example, Liu Yong and his family are in second position with a total asset of 700 million USD. The family in the first position has around 800 million USD, and the rest of the families that got listed on <Forbes> wealthiest Chinese families have assets less than 500 million USD.

Feng Yu knows many of these people, like Zhong Qingxian, Li Jingwei, Jiang Wanmeng, Li Mingde, Liu Chuanzhi, etc. His father, Feng Xingtai, was not listed because Feng Yu had told Steve Forbes not to include his father. If not, his father will surely top the list.

Many people in China want to meet Feng Yu, the legendary tycoon. If they can get into some business deals with Feng Yu, they will benefit from it.

When Feng Yu arrived at Tai Hua Holding this morning, Zhong Qingxian told him that he could not hide his wealth anymore. The Chinese media had share <Forbes> article, and everyone that read the article will know about him.

Feng Yu did not expect his wealth to be exposed so early, but he does not mind. Since he accepted <Forbes> interview, he knew this would happen. This is also a good thing for his family, as no criminals will dare to target the family members of a super tycoon.

A wealthy person is an easier target than a super tycoon.

“You are also listed on the Chinese list of wealthiest people. You are in 37th position, but I think it is too low.”

Of course, Zhong Qingxian is not the Chairman of Tai Hua Holding when <Forbes> estimated his wealth. Also, many of Zhong Qingxian’s assets are under his wife and daughter’s name, and Lehaha is not listed yet. When Lehaha got listed, the company’s value will increase at least 4 to 5 times.

“Hahaha… I don’t mind it as I had never wanted to be listed.” Zhong Qingxian laughed.

Zhong Qingxian does not care about his position as he is not in the top ten.

“This is also a promotion for our company, and there are some benefits to getting listed. Oh, how is the financial audit coming along? Wind and Rain Design should have ended, right?”

Wind and Rain Design had set up two branch offices, and they have been audited not long ago. They should be the first company to complete this audit.

“Yes. The auditing firm had just called, and they will be sending a representative to report their findings.”

Feng Yu had nothing to do and decided to wait for the report with Zhong Qingxian. They will be settling the minor problems internally and not affect the restructuring.

“Manager Feng, Chairman, Andersen’s representative had arrived.” Zhong Qingxian’s secretary entered his office to report.

“Let him in.”

After a while, the secretary brought a man into the office, and Feng Yu is surprised to see a Caucasian young man.

Now, more foreigners had come to work in China. This is a new market and has plenty of opportunities. Feng Yu got to admit that some foreigners are better than the Chinese. Still, he suspects the main reason why companies hired foreigners is because of the misconception that they are better than the Chinese!

The companies can charge higher if they hire foreigners, and some of the companies are just overseas companies’ branches in China.

“Good morning, Mr. Chairman.”

Eh, this foreigner can speak Mandarin? Although he still has a strong accent, they could still understand him.

The Caucasian looks at Feng Yu, and his eyes widen. Isn’t this the richest man in Asia?! This Tai Hua Holding Corporation is his company?!

Feng Yu was shocked too. Why is this Caucasian staring at me like this? I am not a pretty girl! F**k! There must be some problem with this guy, and we must change the audit firm!

Feng Yu does not discriminate against gays, but he felt extremely uncomfortable to be stared like this!

“Ahem!” Feng Yu cleared his throat to remind that guy to stop looking at him!

The Caucasian asked politely. “Are you Mr. Feng Yu?”

Huh? Does this guy know me?! But the newspaper article did not publish my picture.

“Yes. Do you know me?”

The Caucasian had a surprised look on his face. Although Feng Yu seldom take photos publicly, his photos can still be found circulating.

The Caucasian had only felt Feng Yu looks familiar at first and made a guess.

From Feng Yu’s looks, he should be younger than me. My target is only to work in China for 8 to 10 years before returning to England with some money. But compared to this person in front of me, my achievements are nothing!

“I had seen your graduation picture from Beijing University. I am only curious about you.”

Feng Yu waved his hand. “Let’s talk about your company’s audit result first.”

So, the look in this Caucasian’s eyes is the type of look when someone met his idol.

“Our audit has found Wind and Rain Design’s finances to be in order and does not have any problems. There are only two areas we would like to point out. Their reimbursement limit is quite high, and not only the executives are reimbursing for their meals, lodging, transportation, and mobile phones, they are still reimbursing for birthday gifts for their designers’ family members.”

Zhong Qingxian and Feng Yu exchanged looks and smiled. Feng Yu is the one who set this regulation.

Giving the designers’ family members birthday gifts will let the designers have a sense of belonging to the company, and stop other companies from poaching them. This is also why none of Wind and Rain Design’s staff had left even when other companies offered higher salaries.

The salary for a top designer is very high, but most of them prefer to work in a comfortable environment. Wind and Rain Design is like their second home, and their colleagues are like family.

“Those expenses are part of the company’s welfare, and other companies do not have it. Are there any other problems?” Zhong Qingxian asked.

“No.”

“Ok. Thanks for your hard work. You can get this report sign off.”

“Wait a minute. Mr. Feng, can I chat with you for a while?” The Caucasian turned to Feng Yu.

Feng Yu raised his brows. “Sure. Have a seat. Oh… what’s your name?”

Andersen’s representative must be an elite auditor, and Feng Yu is wondering if he can get him to join Tai Hua Holding.

“Thank you, Mr. Feng. My Chinese name is Hu Ran!”

“Hu Run.” Feng Yu nodded and immediately stared at him with his eyes opened wide. “What is your name again?!”
