After the new century, the value of China's richest people can be described as an explosive rise, especially in the real estate industry and the Internet industry, a number of super-rich people have been born.
It is reported that in 2000, China's richest man was Rong Zhijian, who was worth 15.8 billion yuan, and by 2020, the richest man was Already Zhong Zhijian, who was worth 550 billion yuan, which means that the wealth of the richest man in the past 20 years has increased by 34.8 times.
With the rapid growth of the mainland economy, the richest people in the mainland have exploded, and the throne of the richest man has also been replaced, but no one has been able to occupy this throne for more than 5 years.
Hong Kong's richest man, who once had unlimited scenery, was a role model for mainland entrepreneurs in the early years, but now he is also being thrown farther and farther away by the richest man in the mainland.
Take Li Ka-shing, the former richest Man in China, as early as 2002, a group of mainland entrepreneurs came to visit him, when Ma Yun was among them, but Li Ka-shing did not know him too well. But more than 10 years later, Ma Yun became China's richest man, and his value has long exceeded Li Ka-shing by more than 2 times.
Since 2015, Li Ka-shing lost the throne of the richest Man in China, and Wang Jianlin instead won the title of richest Man in China and richest man in Asia, after which Li Ka-shing's ranking began to plummet, and he was "rubbed" by the richest man in the mainland.
And this year, Li Ka-shing has been squeezed out of the throne of Hong Kong's richest man, is it that the former Li Chaoren has fallen so much?
In fact, time is the mirror of the demon, the wealth of the rich in the mainland is difficult to withstand the test, once it encounters a little crisis, the value will shrink rapidly.

Take the real estate industry rich, in the past many years, Wang Jianlin, Xu Jiayin and others took turns to be the richest people, but now they are no longer in the top ten list.
As early as 2015, Wang Jianlin was worth as much as 250 billion yuan, but he failed to dash for a few years, and Wanda was questioned for its debt of 400 billion yuan, and finally had to sell its assets, and its assets quickly shrank to 50 billion yuan.
The recent Evergrande thunderstorm attracted heated discussion among the whole people, Evergrande's market value evaporated by 1 trillion yuan, and Xu Jiayin's value also shrank rapidly.
Of course, the life of the Internet industry is not good, affected by various policies in the past two years, Ali, Tencent, the two major business empires, the market value has fallen out of the world's top ten list, the market value of this year alone in half a year has shrunk trillions of yuan, and Ma Huateng, Ma Yun's body value has also accelerated the shrinkage.
The same is true of Huang Zheng's Pinduoduoduo, whose market value evaporated by trillions of yuan in half a year, while Huang Zheng's own value once exceeded Ma Yun's, but this year's value shrank by 180 billion yuan.
It can be said that many of the richest people in the mainland and those super-rich people, most of them are "fat", as long as the company's stock price fluctuates too much, it may be pulled off the rich list at any time.
In contrast, Li Ka-shing's wealth is real, even if his ranking on the wealth list continues to decline, but no one can compare with him in terms of actual assets.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" > than Li Ka-shing's assets</h1>
For example, Hong Kong's richest man, Zeng Yuqun, although he is worth 34.5 billion US dollars, his Ningde era, five years of net profit is only 20.4 billion yuan.
Li Ka-shing's Changhe Group, the net profit in 5 years was 144.2 billion yuan, an average of 28.8 billion yuan a year, Zeng Yuqun made money in 5 years and did not earn more than Li in a year.
Ma Yun held 8.9% of the shares when he was listed in 14 years, and cashed out 2.8% of the shares in 19 years, corresponding to less than 20 billion assets, which cannot be compared with the cash held by Li Ka-shing.
You know, Li Ka-shing cashed out 270 billion yuan from 13 to 17 years just by selling domestic assets, which is a solid cash.
Li Ka-shing once said: "I have been in business for more than 60 years, and I have not lost money in a year, nor have I encountered a debt crisis." ”
Although this statement is very arrogant, it is indeed the truth.
In 1999, Li Ka-shing sold Orange and made 160 billion Hong Kong dollars, and in 2020, he sold Husky Energy, making a profit of more than 20 billion yuan, and he had previously paid more than 50 billion yuan in dividends.
China's richest man, Zhong, is worth more than 500 billion yuan, but his annual net profit of Nongfu Shanquan was only 5.3 billion yuan last year, and his net assets were 11 billion yuan.
Although Zhong Paid a dividend of 10.5 billion yuan in cash to Nongfu Spring before the listing, it was no better than Li Ka-shing's casual transaction.
Most of Li Ka-shing's investments are high-quality assets, including ports, electricity, natural gas, water supply, retail, etc., which are less affected by the economic crisis.
In the past 2 years of economic downturn, many industries have been affected, but the energy industry has ushered in a sharp rise, electricity prices, gas prices have soared, Li Ka-shing made a lot of money for this. Changshi Group under its name has a six-year net profit of 21.4 billion yuan.
Li Ka-shing's long, long and net assets of 1 trillion yuan, but the market value is only 300 billion yuan, before the epidemic these two companies annual net profit of more than 70 billion yuan, which shows that companies can earn 5 years of money to buy themselves, obviously their market value is seriously undervalued.
At present, Li Ka-shing father and son hold 90% of the shares of Changshi and 70% of the shares of Changshi, and these 2 enterprises have almost become family businesses. In this way, Li Ka-shing's real assets far exceed the public 200 billion yuan.
Epilogue:
It is precisely for this reason that the media estimates that Li Ka-shing's private assets exceed one trillion yuan, and this is only part of the assets, as for his real wealth, including unlisted assets, it is even more difficult to predict.
Over the years, the media has underestimated Li Ka-shing's assets, and even mocked him for investing in the UK and losing hundreds of billions of dollars, which is obviously nonsense. The real Li Ka-shing has already made a lot of money.
Discussion Topic: How many assets do you think Li Ka-shing really has?
