Now the three giants of e-commerce are Taobao, JD.com and Pinduoduo, which is no longer the original Pinduoduo era, and two of the founders of these three platforms have retired, namely Taobao and Pinduoduo. The founder of Taobao is Ma Yun, Ma Yun is older, does not have the energy and does not want to spend too much time to manage the company's business, he retired, but he still holds the company's shares, and the annual income is tens of millions of yuan or even more.

And The founder of Pinduoduo, Huang Zheng, retired when he was 41 years old, donated 100 billion yuan free of charge, it is obvious that he does not want to be the richest man again, he wants to be the first good, and when he is 41 years old, he has long been another legend, Huang Zheng himself is still very admirable, so let's take a look at Huang Zheng's family history.

Huang Zheng
Huang Zheng's silence is not rich, he is a very ordinary family, authentic Zhejiang people, just like Ma Yun. Huang Zheng knew that his family environment was average, and he also knew that studying well at that time was the only way out, so he studied very hard and was admitted to Zhejiang University. In college, I also love to study, make a lot of friends, and life in college is very good. After graduating from college, he did not choose to work but studied abroad. There are also many well-known people known during the study abroad, such as Ding Lei, Ding Lei's role in his life is very large, he met Duan Yongping through Ding Lei, an investment genius, and then Duan Yongping became his mentor, taught him a lot of investment knowledge and insights, Huang Zheng himself also learned a lot, and returned to China to develop after completing his studies abroad.

Tough entrepreneurship
After Huang Zheng returned to China, he did not want to work for the company, he thought that doing so was a waste of his talents, so he started his own business. Before the establishment of Pinduoduo, Huang Zheng also took a detour and once thought about the development of the game industry. I have to say that the game industry does have a good prospect, but Huang Zheng himself does not have a good vision in this industry, he himself is not proficient in games, and he does not know how to make popular games, and this entrepreneurship naturally ended in failure.
After some trade-offs, Huang Zheng established Pinduoduo in 2015, which was controversial when the company was founded, when there were already JD.com, Taobao and other miscellaneous brands in the e-commerce market, but Huang Zheng still insisted on his own opinion and created this company. Huang Zheng put his knowledge and learned investment philosophy in the company, after three years of development, Pinduoduo finally gained a foothold in the market, the number of people using the software also reached hundreds of millions, the company's value rose after the listing in the United States, Pinduoduo's development can also be regarded as the peak of development.

The 41-year-old donated 100 billion yuan free of charge
However, I did not expect that in the prosperous period of Pinduoduo, Huang Zheng stepped down as the chairman of Pinduoduo in March 2021, which was very shocking after being known by netizens, but people also quickly accepted, after all, it was his life and he wanted to do whatever he wanted. He also has a lot of shares in the company, spending 3.37% of his shares in philanthropy, and according to estimates, the total value of these shares is about 100 billion yuan.
Many people are curious about what he will do after he resigns as chairman of the company, after all, the 40-year-old is not very old, and there is still a lot of time. After Huang Zheng left Pinduoduo, he devoted himself to scientific research.
summary
41 years old is a person's golden age, many people at this age have not yet started their own careers, but at this time, Huang Zheng has successfully started a business and decided to retire, donating 100 billion yuan for charity, such behavior should be rarely able to do, it can be said that Huang Zheng, who retired at the age of 41, has become a legend of rapids.
