Chapter 262 The Officially Recognized Wealthiest Person_3
Everyone had thought that this major move was orchestrated with Huawei, but to their surprise, it was a small company that had just formed a group...
By the time the news is released, this message will be akin to a nuclear bomb, sweeping through the whole world...
Finally, a journalist could no longer contain himself and stood up, shouting, "Mr. Hua, why IDE Group? As far as I know, IDE Group currently does not have any involvement in the semiconductor industry. So, I'd like to ask, is there any secret about the collaboration with IDE Group that can't be disclosed?"
Mr. Hua gave face to the journalist and directly addressed his question.
"Of course, there are some insider reasons for choosing to collaborate with IDE Group, but I can't reveal specifics right now. However, as time goes on, we will disclose more details. If you're interested in the insider aspects of this cooperation, you can continue to follow the developments of [Huaguo Semiconductor] Company."
The journalist hadn't expected Mr. Hua to respond, and the content of his answer was so topical that he hurriedly recorded every word verbatim.
Where there's one, there's another.
Another bold journalist also increased his volume and shouted, "Currently, Mr. Gu of IDE Group is ranked 41st on the Forbes list of billionaires. With the 100 billion he just committed in funding, this wealth will be enough for Mr. Gu to break into the top ten of Forbes' Hua Country rich list.
If we also include the newly established [Huaguo Semiconductor] Company, valued at 800 billion, Mr. Gu's wealth will obviously surpass 400 billion, putting him ahead of the current richest man, Farmer Spring Zhong Shanshan. So, I want to ask, does the Ministry of Industry's action seem a bit unfair to Mr. Zhong Shanshan? It feels like there's a force pushing Mr. Gu into the richest man's position, is this a form of interference with market freedom?"
This question was rather sharp, but Mr. Hua's expression remained unchanged, as he calmly stated, "This cooperation is purely business-related and free of any ulterior motives.
As for Mr. Gu Heng becoming Hua Country's richest man, I believe this isn't support from us, but rather a burden to him.
Because if he didn't collaborate with us, Mr. Gu Heng could very likely have become the world's richest individual.
Moreover, you must have all heard Mr. Gu Heng's speech on stage just now, right?
On my behalf, I'd like to ask our journalist friend here, isn't it a fortune for the nation and a blessing for the people to have an entrepreneur like Mr. Gu Heng, who doesn't seek profit but devotes himself entirely to the social development of Hua Country, become the richest man?"
Having said that, Mr. Hua no longer accepted any questions and walked off the stage.
In fact, with his status, the response he just gave was already inappropriate. As an official, he absolutely shouldn't have his own stance on external affairs, especially on such significant and sensitive issues.
Yet, not only did he make his stance clear, but he also unequivocally backed Mr. Gu Heng, standing on stage for him.
And to the public, he represented the official stance.
So...
This was tantamount to an official endorsement of Mr. Gu Heng's status as the richest man...
Mr. Gu Heng, however, hadn't thought so much about it and simply stood up to thank Mr. Hua.
Mr. Hua just smiled at Mr. Gu Heng and continued walking, following Li Wengu and Mr. Chu out of the reception hall...
This group founding ceremony, full of explosive topics, was just beginning, but in everyone's eyes, it seemed to have already concluded...
Before the ceremony, IDE Group was just an ordinary financial investment group, its owner being very wealthy...
But after the ceremony, IDE Group instantly rose to become one of the most well-known enterprises in Hua Country...
And Mr. Gu Heng...
Would become the most watched businessman in Hua Country during this period...
