235: Wang Lin is low-key offline but high-profile online!
Actually, these company matters didn't have much of an impact on Wang Lin.
It just meant that future earnings were realized a bit earlier.
The online world was currently raging with a storm.
Yet Wang Lin himself was incredibly low-key.
As for being the richest man, he had already responded on the Social Media Platform.
Even if Forbes stepped in and issued an announcement, it only made the farce bigger.
The Forbes boss contacted Wang Lin yesterday.
This also made Wang Lin realize that it was actually the Goldman Sachs Group that caused the trouble.
Wang Lin thanked him, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Richard Forbes, I will remember your kindness!"
Richard Forbes wasn't afraid of Goldman Sachs tracking him; they weren't in the same system, so he wasn't flustered at all.
Instead, he used this incident to gain favor with Wang Lin, and this intelligence showed its intended purpose.
In Richard Forbes's view, Wang Lin was only in his twenties, yet he was already making a name for himself, even becoming a dominant force, in the industry with the highest potential.
Who knew what his future potential would be?
And Forbes, having been in this line of work for so long, almost instantly thought of some formulaic things.
That was going public!
Junlin Finance was only established last year, and it had already started making a profit in its inaugural year.
This year, its profits had increased by an unknown number of times.
By next year, it might even be able to go public!
Such a high-quality enterprise, a hegemon in the finance sector, would surely be greatly favored by the big shots at the CSRC.
Similarly, such a high-quality enterprise would also be the first choice for many Stock Investors.
Many, globally!
Forbes said, "Brother Lin is young and accomplished. Now that you've become chinas richest man, do you have any aspirations, such as listing your company, or perhaps aiming to be the world's richest man?"
Wang Lin laughed after hearing this.
This old fellow was truly full of gossip.
He could find a topic with him at every opportunity, and each of these topics could make it to the Social Media Platform's trending topics.
With Junlin Finance's current scale and earning speed, once it goes public, it would be truly terrifying!
If Wang Lin wanted to now, the CSRC would certainly agree.
There were too many ways to go public now.
The most classic is backdoor listing, followed by being acquired by a listed company for indirect listing.
Of course, one could also go public through mergers, transfer board listings, or overseas listings, among other methods.
There are various ways to go public, but the ultimate goal is to raise capital.
As for Wang Lin, did he want to go public?
Of course, he did.
He didn't lack money now, but the prestige, fame, and various benefits after going public were numerous.
More importantly, he could show off!
Wang Lin was very pragmatic; he had already achieved financial freedom.
So, in the days to come, he would do things as he pleased.
For example, establish the world's largest financial listed company by market capitalization?!
Everyone says the Beautiful Country's financial industry is powerful, but if such a company could emerge in our A-share market, would Wall Street still have any face left?
Wang Lin looked forward to such a scene.
Another point was that after Junlin Finance went public, it would also be a safeguard for Wang Lin's security.
He had already decided that if this company went public in the future, he would only hold 67%, which is the minimum shareholding for absolute control!
The remaining 33% would all be released, allowing big finance sector capital from around the world to buy in together.
It is well known that for a company like Junlin Finance, its most core secret is the mind of its helmsman, Wang Lin.
Every move in the stock market, every investment, is decided by Wang Lin.
If Wang Lin were gone, then Junlin Finance would no longer be Junlin Finance.
This was also Wang Lin's subtle intention.
At the deepest level of his heart, self-preservation was paramount!
This was related to his family background; Wang Lin had always lacked a sense of security.
But if Junlin Finance successfully went public and allowed all major financial Institutions worldwide to hold some shares,
Then Wang Lin would truly become an unresolvable existence.
No one would want anything to happen to Wang Lin!
Because this link of interests is the most stable!
Thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
Wang Lin's face showed a sense of relief and emotion.
And a hint of excitement.
Because, normally speaking, a profitable company like his wouldn't need to go public at all.
But Wang Lin's thoughts were different, his goals were different.
Going public could bring him more benefits!
The world says that Warren Buffett is the God of Stocks, and the market value of Berkshire Hathaway, which he founded, is a terrifying 370 billion US dollars.
Its future peak market value will even reach one trillion US dollars.
This kind of gradual development is terrifying.
What if, what if Junlin Finance could reach a trillion dollar market capitalization in the future?
What kind of scene would that be?!
Wang Lin said, "Regarding the company going public, now that you mention it, I actually have some ideas!"
"It's just that it's not time for our company to go public yet; I'm waiting for an opportunity!"
Richard Forbes didn't understand what opportunity Wang Lin was referring to.
He got the answer he wanted, and that was enough.
After hanging up the phone, Forbes also pondered how to deal with a company like Junlin Finance in the future.
If Wang Lin's skill didn't diminish, he would definitely shift his focus to US Stock Market next year.
At that time, it would truly be something to look forward to.
Whether Junlin Finance is a dragon or a worm will depend on whether it can pass the test of US Stock Market.
"I eagerly await Junlin Finance's IPO!"
Richard Forbes even felt that if Wang Lin could maintain this level, he would also heavily invest in Junlin Finance.
He just didn't know if Wang Lin would be willing to release more company shares!
...Of course, it was said there was no impact.
Offline, it had a very significant impact on Wang Lin's life.
At the very least, those who knew him now understood that he was the true chinas richest man.
Even when he went to buy groceries, he would be recognized by some sharp-eyed aunties.
"Look, it's the richest man, Wang Lin!"
What the heck?!
Zheng County is unbearable, I'm going back home!
When Old Ma heard about this, he burst into laughter: "You're just getting started! Do you think the halo of the richest man is that easy to wear? You still have a lot to endure!"
"But I really have to thank you, kid, for taking such a big hit for me. I'll treat you to a meal later, old pal!"
Wang Lin listened to Old Ma's words, speechless.
Could this really be something the helmsman of a company worth hundreds of billions of US dollars would say?
Fortunately, Wang Lin was just saying it.
He didn't actually return to his hometown.
But in his hometown, legends about Wang Lin had already begun to spread.
While Wang Lin was acting very low-key offline, he was also very high-profile online.
Specifically, it manifested as:
Wang Lin began to establish a foreign capital Trader department.
This foreign capital refers to a Trader department primarily focused on US Stock Market, outside of the A-share market.
What prompted him to make this change was the exposure from the Goldman Sachs Group.
Although Wang Lin didn't object to the fact that he was revealed to be the richest man,
It depended on the other party's intentions!
It was clear that Goldman Sachs was targeting Wang Lin, intending to maliciously suppress him with this exposure.
They just didn't realize their capabilities and prestige in the A-share market.
They unexpectedly helped him further increase his prestige.
A few days later.
News came from the intelligence department, a stack of documents placed on Wang Lin's desk.
Wang Lin meticulously reviewed them.
The more Wang Lin read, the more he sneered.
"So, the renowned Goldman Sachs Group is actually just strong on the outside but weak on the inside!"
This information was obtained by Wang Lin's intelligence department, at considerable expense, from some senior executives in certain departments of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific Region, as well as some core executives on Wall Street.
At the same time, it also triggered some intelligence from the stock market prediction system.
These were the final conclusions.
"This year's fixed income in the Asia-Pacific Region isn't even 20%. No wonder these executives sold off this data for just a small amount of money!"
"And they're holding 17% of Beautiful Country mortgage-backed securities, yet they still dare to use channel links to China's real estate trusts, with quite a few overdue!"
"Plus, the delivery of commodities like copper and aluminum spot goods, these transactions also have big problems!"
The more Wang Lin read, the more excited he became.
It turned out that the legendary Goldman Sachs Group was also riddled with holes internally.
He really thought these Wall Street companies were all incredibly powerful, but they were just strong on the outside and weak on the inside!
It was indeed like that.
If the Goldman Sachs Group's strength was truly that formidable, then it wouldn't have been Morgan Ored of the Morgan Family who fully acquired the A-share market Trader conditions back then.
Instead, it would have been a direct descendant of the Goldman Sachs Family!
Unfortunately, Goldman Sachs is now just a back-row player on Wall Street.
However, they are naturally fond of taking risks, and this time they wanted to find an opportunity to turn the tables in the A-share market.
Junlin Finance's foreign capital Trader department was established extremely quickly, as now a person's reputation precedes them.
Countless excellent Traders wanted to switch jobs and join.
After completing these matters, Wang Lin quickly issued an order: "Go set up some offshore companies and vigorously accumulate Goldman Sachs's circulating shares through channels like Hong Kong Stock Connect and QFII!"
"At the same time, also buy at least 10 billion US dollars in Goldman Sachs credit default swaps!"
As soon as this order was issued, these newly recruited Traders, who had signed the strictest contracts, were instantly shocked.
Holy cow?!
Playing this big?
Going after Goldman Sachs right off the bat?
One of the Traders even felt his heart race, becoming incredibly excited.
He came to the right place, this was truly the right place!
As expected, Brother Lin is young and impetuous, going straight for the Wall Street big shots.
This time, he must put in a lot of effort to let Brother Lin see his capabilities!
"Understood, Boss!"
Wang Lin thought for a moment and added, "Hmm... also go make a promise with the sovereign fund on the 'big spender' side, saying we'll take over Goldman Sachs's circulating shares at a premium!"
As soon as these words came out, the Traders instantly understood that Brother Lin was going to crush Goldman Sachs.
Even if they couldn't crush them, they would at least make them lose a layer of skin!
After giving them instructions, Wang Lin watched them begin to act.
He then went to another office, where Sun Chao from the marketing department had been waiting for a long time.
Upon Wang Lin's arrival, he got straight to the point without pleasantries: "These are some names of Goldman Sachs's Asia-Pacific Region fixed income department executives. No matter how you entice them or turn them, if necessary, make them cooperate with my actions. Also, get me their internal client lists and holding details!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Chao also became excited: "Understood, Boss, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
This was his first time receiving such a cross-border assignment, especially one involving a major Wall Street Institution.
Exciting!
It seems this Goldman Sachs company has provoked Brother Lin!
Otherwise, the boss wouldn't be so ruthless.
It is said that the newly established foreign capital Trader department was specifically created to deal with them.
"Could it be because of the richest man incident some time ago?"
Although this incident didn't have a significant impact on Wang Lin, it did affect his daily life.
Therefore, Goldman Sachs must die!
Before, it was about warning those who falsely claimed Brother Lin's position; this time, it was about aggressively attacking the Wall Street multinational giant, Goldman Sachs.
"It seems my boss doesn't tolerate any sand in his eyes. That's good, I really like it! I definitely won't feel stifled in a company like this!"
"Just do it!"
Sun Chao confidently went to turn them.
At the same time.
Some of Goldman Sachs's overdue real estate trusts in China were also being quietly acquired.
In the commodities business, spot copper and aluminum were also being secretly hoarded.
The massive machine of Junlin Finance began to turn frantically.
All departments coordinated their work, orderly!
Wang Lin did not contact any other Institutions for any of this.
He wanted to take on Goldman Sachs alone.
Of course, saying 'alone' isn't entirely accurate; a large portion of the funds he held also came from the support of Chinese Stock Investors.
Days passed, and on the surface, Junlin Finance was calm.
As for the Goldman Sachs Group, they didn't feel anything was amiss. They had only created a trending topic for Brother Lin; what was the big deal?
Even if the other party found out, at most they would verbally curse a bit, and they might even thank them!
But only half a month later.
After all departments had completed everything and reported to Wang Lin,
Wang Lin finally made a high-profile announcement online: "Crush Goldman Sachs!"
These words completely ignited the financial market.
"???"
"Brother Lin, have you been hacked?"
"Holy cow, Brother Lin is really fierce, is he going to start cross-border operations?"
"Nonsense, this is clearly because Goldman Sachs came to the A-share market and snatched Brother Lin's chips, so he's going to kill them!"
"What exactly happened?"
"Go, go, go, there's a show to watch!"
The uninformed onlookers were discussing frantically.
Some big shots, however, quickly understood the cause and effect.
It's well known that there are no airtight walls in the financial market.
Combining the previous trending topic about Wang Lin being the richest man on the Social Media Platform, along with some rumors, people soon knew it was Goldman Sachs's doing.
This also explained why Wang Lin was so reckless in wanting to take on Goldman Sachs.
