Some time ago, with Zhong Shanshan being exposed online, it really makes people sigh that the title of China's richest man is a high-risk position. Wang Shi is right, in China, if you are famous, you cannot be rich, and if you are rich, you cannot be famous. Since Forbes began to select the richest man in China in 2003, there have been 11 richest men in China so far, but there are very few who can still stand firm.
The richest man in China in 2003 was Ding Lei. Currently, the market value of his NetEase has reached tens of billions of dollars, and last year's profit exceeded 10 billion. Ding Lei's business has been very stable for many years, and he has almost no negative personal news. Ding Lei is a low-key person. He doesn't like to get involved in circles and rarely participates in various forums. Perhaps this is why he can remain standing to this day. The richest man in China in 2004 and 2005 was Rong Zhijian. His father is a famous red-top businessman, who was once a vice-state level official and the founder of CITIC Group. Rong Zhijian founded CITIC Hong Kong, and later, with the help of Li Ka-shing and others, successfully merged with Fu Tai to form CITIC Fu Tai and listed in Hong Kong. Although he has a strong background, Rong Zhijian was forced to resign as chairman of the company in the 2008 Australian dollar huge loss incident.
In 2006, the richest man in China became the tycoon Huang Guangyu. That year, his Gome was successfully listed in Hong Kong and became the largest electrical appliance chain enterprise in the mainland. At the same time, he entered the real estate and other businesses, and became the richest man in China at a young age. But the good times did not last long. In 2008, he was arrested for insider trading, bribery and other issues, and was sentenced to more than ten years. It was not until 2021 that Huang Guangyu was released from prison, but because of the loss of the core, Gome's development was no longer as good as before. After being released from prison, Huang Guangyu shouted the slogan of a comeback, but now Gome is powerless to turn the tide. Huang Guangyu also prepared to start a new offline supermarket last year. But his era has passed. The richest man in China in 2007 became Yang Huiyan, the current chairman of Country Garden. When Country Garden went public, before the company went public, his father Yang Guoqiang handed all the shares to Yang Huiyan. After Country Garden went public, Yang Huiyan also directly became the richest man in China. She was only 25 years old at the time.
Later, she continued to work at Country Garden, and successfully took over her father's job last year and became the head of Country Garden. But now Country Garden has financial problems and its stock price has fallen to pieces. Yang Huiyan's wealth has evaporated by hundreds of billions, and the key is that Country Garden now has a mess waiting for her to deal with. Yang Huiyan revealed that their family has transfused more than 40 billion yuan into Country Garden. But the current market conditions are not good, and it is not easy for Yang Huiyan to turn Country Garden around. Liu Yongxing, China's richest man in 2008, Wang Chuanfu, China's richest man in 2009, and Liang Wengen, China's richest man in 2011, are some of the people who are currently doing well. They are all in the real economy, and Liu Yongxing is engaged in feed, real estate, electrolytic aluminum and other businesses. His younger brother is Liu Yonghao of New Hope. Liu Yongxing's Oriental Hope has not been listed as a whole, so his strength is also greatly underestimated. Wang Chuanfu became China's richest man in 2009 because Buffett invested in BYD. His BYD finally developed after 20 years of dormancy. Last year, BYD's annual sales exceeded 3 million units. Now BYD is still developing rapidly and is expected to become a leader in the global automotive industry in the future.
Liang Wengen's Sany Heavy Industry is still the largest heavy machinery company in China, and its global competitiveness is getting stronger and stronger. However, the cyclicality of the machinery industry is very obvious. Sany has begun to enter a downward cycle in the past two years. The richest man in China in 2010 and 2012 was Zong Qinghou, who passed away recently. Wahaha, which he founded, is also one of the most successful beverage companies in China. However, after 2013, Wahaha's revenue began to decline due to problems such as brand aging. This time, Zong Qinghou's death due to illness directly triggered the attention of Wahaha. After Zong Qinghou, only four Chinese have been elected as China's richest man, namely Wang Jianlin, Jack Ma, Zhong Shanshan, and Xu Jiayin. Except for Xu Jiayin, the other three have been elected China's richest man three times.
Among these four people, Xu Jiayin has been arrested directly. He was arrested directly because of a series of problems in Evergrande's operation, and he also transferred a large amount of assets to foreign countries. Xu Jiayin is basically finished, and it is estimated that he will step on the sewing machine for the rest of his life in the future. Wang Jianlin is now facing a financial crisis. Wanda has been selling assets since last year. Although Wanda has not reached the situation of Country Garden, Wang Jianlin's life is not easy. Wang Jianlin has sold a large number of Wanda Film shares and several Wanda Plazas. Now Wanda has temporarily solved the repurchase crisis of more than 30 billion, but Wang Jianlin is still under great pressure. Jack Ma retired in 2019. He has been traveling around in recent years. However, Alibaba is now facing a strong challenge from Pinduoduo. Alibaba's market value has also directly fallen from more than 800 billion US dollars to less than 200 billion US dollars. What's more terrifying is that there have been a lot of rumors about Jack Ma in recent years. Jack Ma went to Japan to study agricultural technology, but netizens said that he settled in Japan.
Of course, the one who is even worse off is Zhong Shanshan. Because of Zong Qinghou's death, Nongfu Spring, which was originally a competitor of Wahaha, was exposed online. It can be said that Zhong Shanshan and Nongfu Spring are facing an unexpected disaster, and the online exposure has directly affected the company's terminal sales. Seeing the situation of so many of China's richest people, I have to say that China's richest man is really a dangerous position.
