Chapter: 3721
In addition, there were many listed companies under his name, and most of their information was publicly available. By finding each one and calculating the total, you could estimate his net worth.
This kind of topic didn't require Forbes; anyone who understood middle school math could do it.
But in this world, there were still a significant number of invisible billionaires who had numerous industries under their control, but not a single company would choose to go public.
The reason they wouldn't go public was that they didn't want the outside world to know about their identity and wealth. Once an enterprise refused to go public, it had no obligation to disclose its financial situation to the outside world, so it was impossible for anyone to know how much money the company was worth.
Furthermore, these people usually distributed their companies across multiple offshore regions around the world, where information protection was as strong as a Swiss bank. As a result, even fewer people knew how much wealth they possessed.
Fey Jianzhong was familiar with Lai Qinghua since his youth, and this friendship has persisted for over 60 years.
The reason Fey Jianzhong could navigate the business world so smoothly was not just due to his own efforts and abilities but also had something to do with Lai Qinghua's guidance.
Over the past few decades, the world has undergone numerous major changes, each representing a massive opportunity, and Fey Jianzhong has almost always been able to seize it.
This has also strengthened the bond between him and Lai Qinghua.
Fey Jianzhong worked tirelessly until he was 80 years old before retiring, and after that, he devoted himself solely to seeking immortality worldwide.
He sought immortality not out of superstition but because his achievements in this life were truly too brilliant to leave, and he didn't have the courage to face death either.
In reality, many successful entrepreneurs who are like him are eager to find ways to pursue immortality.
However, their approach to pursuing immortality is vastly different from that of ancient emperors seeking elixirs for immortality.
Most of these entrepreneurs are driven by scientific research.
For example, a certain Chen family tycoon in China once invested tens of billions of dollars to study the human brain.
Many people say that he invested so much money in studying the brain, hoping to achieve eternal life.
Compared to this wealthy Chen family tycoon, he is absolutely unparalleled in this regard.
He has continuously funded a world-class organ transplant research laboratory with at least $20 billion in research funds, all for the purpose of exploring whether humans can achieve immortality through large-scale organ transplants and doubling their lifespan.
Throughout his life, he has also undergone multiple organ transplant surgeries due to various diseases.
Ordinary people might not have survived even until age 70 after undergoing so many major surgeries.
However, he was still able to live into his early nineties despite all the organ transplant surgeries, and this research laboratory played a crucial role in it.
At the same time, he also invested in a similar brain research project, hoping that when the body is no longer able to be revived, he could preserve his brain and consciousness and achieve eternal life on a conscious level;
In addition, he has invested tens of billions of dollars in cryopreserving this technology for human beings.
This is all for the purpose of freezing one's body just before death, so that when future long-life technologies become available, one can thaw out and revive one's body.
In short, he has planned multiple directions for himself, hoping that one of them will be successful. JrNovels.com
