On December 12, the Hurun Research Institute released the "2023 Hurun Male Entrepreneurs List", listing the top 50 Chinese male entrepreneurs in the Hurun Report. They have a total wealth of 6.37 trillion yuan, and the threshold for being shortlisted is 64 billion yuan, which is 374.07% higher than the threshold of 13.5 billion yuan for the top 50 female entrepreneurs.
This is the first time that Hurun Report has released the "Male Entrepreneur List", last month, we also reported the relevant news of the "Female Entrepreneur List→ worth 32 billion yuan, Zong Fuli became the richest woman in Zhejiang?
This time, the reporter of "Zhejiang Merchants" magazine also observed the performance of Zhejiang businessmen in the list, although from the point of birth, Guangdong businessmen on the list took the first place, with 8 people on the list, followed by Zhejiang, with a total of 6 people on the list. However, if you focus on the top 10 of the "2023 Hurun Male Entrepreneur List", Zhejiang businessmen occupy "half of the country".
Monopolizing "half of the country", Zhejiang businessmen's wealth strength dominates the Yangtze River Delta
Among the top 10 in the "2023 Hurun Male Entrepreneur List", Zhejiang businessmen occupy "half of the country", in addition to Zhong Sui, the third Pinduoduo Huang Zheng (fortune 270 billion yuan), the sixth Netease Ding Lei (wealth 240 billion yuan), the ninth Geely Li Shufu family (wealth 175 billion yuan), and the 10th Ali Ma Yun family (wealth 170 billion yuan) are among them.
It is worth mentioning that Zhong Sui, Ding Lei, Li Shufu's family, and Ma Yun's family all live in Hangzhou, while Huang Zheng's place of residence is Shanghai, and Huang Zheng is also the richest man in Shanghai.
This also extends to an interesting topic, focusing on the Yangtze River Delta, where the richest man in Shanghai is Huang Zheng, the founder of Pinduoduo, with a total wealth of 270 billion yuan, the richest man in Anhui is Cao Renxian, the founder of Sungrow, with a total wealth of 48 billion yuan, and the second richest man in Jiangsu is Li Ge, the founder of WuXi AppTec, with a total wealth of 45 billion yuan...... And their common characteristics are that they are all from Zhejiang→ exclusive inventory|The richest man in Shanghai, the richest man in Anhui, and the second richest man in Jiangsu are all from Zhejiang!
Former colleague Zhong is at the top of the list again
On the list, the 69-year-old Zhong Sui topped the list with a "worth" of 450 billion yuan and sat firmly in the top spot.
Most people perceive Zhong Sui as being tied to the "slightly sweet" Nongfu Spring, but his source of wealth is more than just a "porter of nature".
Among them, Nongfu Spring, Wantai Biology and Yangshengtang are its three main sources of wealth.
According to relevant research report data, Nongfu Spring currently occupies 12.5% of China's packaged water market share, surpassing the second place by 4.7%, from January to June 2023, packaged drinking water alone has achieved a revenue of 10.442 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.7% compared with the same period of the previous year, with a steady growth rate, tea beverages have achieved revenue of 5.286 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 59.8%, a bright performance, in addition, functional drinks, fruit juice drinks have also achieved 21.5% and 32.2% respectively year-on-year growth. According to the latest data, as of the close of trading on December 12, its total market value was fixed at 501.03 billion Hong Kong dollars (about 460.492 billion yuan).
As the first domestic manufacturer to develop and produce HPV (cervical cancer) vaccine, Wantai Biology is also an important "cash cow" for Zhong Sui, and its bivalent HPV vaccine as the company's core product was successfully exported to Thailand in March this year, and it also obtained marketing authorization from Cambodia and Ethiopia in the first half of the year, and the registration application in Indonesia, Pakistan, Kenya and other countries is progressing in an orderly manner;
Although the business of packaged drinking water and vaccines is not very related, they are both health-related production businesses, and health has always been the direction of Zhong's business. The company he first established (in 1993) was Yangshengtang, which is engaged in the business of selling health care products such as fish and turtle pills, and now has more than 100 companies under its umbrella, covering food and beverage, biological vaccines, health care products, cosmetics and other fields.
Under the spotlight, Zhong has become a business giant, continuously topping major wealth lists, and firmly sitting in the position of the richest man in China. And if you want to explore the story of the business giant before becoming a giant, you have to go to Zhejiang Daily. Zhong has been a reporter in the rural department of Zhejiang Daily for 5 years and has witnessed the brilliance of township enterprises in Zhejiang.
On January 4, 1985, the front page of Zhejiang Daily published "Why Did Hong Mengxue Run Away?" written by Zhong Zhangcai, and distributed a commentator's article "What does Hong Mengxue's departure mean?"
The protagonist of this newsletter, Hong Mengxue, was originally a scientific and technological staff member of the Hangzhou Grain and Oil Chemical Plant, who was self-taught, had important scientific research achievements, and had published papers in national academic journals.
In 1981, the trial draft of the "National Starch Sugar Quality Standard" adopted by the Third National Starch Sugar Conference was revised by Hong Mengxue. However, Hong Mengxue was suppressed in his original unit, and his desire to serve was not appreciated, so he had to leave his post and run away when he couldn't bear it.
After the publication of this newsletter, it aroused strong repercussions in society. The leaders of some units that had suppressed talent in the past felt the pressure, and many of the suppressed scientific and technological personnel were encouraged. For a time, many scientific and technological personnel who had the same experience as Hong Mengxue also broke through the "pool of stagnant water" and resigned in various ways to work in township enterprises, and found a place there.
Later, Zhong became a member of the "Go to the Sea" army. He went to Hainan, and after several years of hard work, founded Yangshengtang Co., Ltd., which has a series of well-known national brand products such as turtle and turtle pills, Nongfu Spring, and Nongfu Orchard.
Quite dramatically, Zhong Mengxue, the subject of the interview, also left the township enterprise and went to Hainan. After the two reunited, they developed the turtle pill together, and Hong Mengxue became the chief engineer of Yangshengtang and became the other founder of Yangshengtang.
Every time Zhong returned to the club for a symposium, he would express his gratitude, and always said that his five-year career as a journalist was very beneficial to his career development.
