"China is the only one in the world who can really be called a consortium."
This is the evaluation given by Chairman Mao when he mentioned the Rong family.
China's only "consortium" shows that the Rong family was strong at that time.
As a descendant and heir of the Rong family, Rong Yiren's ups and downs in life can be described as a legendary epic masterpiece.
From the Beiyang government to the Republic of China period, to the founding of New China and the glorious era of reform and opening up, Rong Yiren can be described as a witness to the construction of China throughout the twentieth century.
At the age of eighty-nine, Rong Yiren died in Beijing.
What is the current situation of the 5 children left by the "red capitalist"?
Rong Yiren was a noble prince born with a golden spoon.
Rong Yiren was not only an excellent businessman, but also a wise entrepreneur, Chairman Mao also called him a capitalist of the "Young Zhuang Faction", and Rong Yiren's brilliant achievements in his life have also become a unique legend in China's modern history.
Rong
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > is from a rich family, and it is expensive</h1>
On May 1, 1916, Rong Yiren was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
The legend of the Rong family began earlier in the generation when Rong Yiren's grandfather Rong Xitai opened The Qianzhuang.
In the generation of Rong Yiren's father Rong Desheng and uncle Rong Zongjing, the two brothers began to change their careers in textiles, flour, machinery and other industries, so the Rong family had two big figures, "Cotton Yarn King" and "Flour King".
As early as the 1930s, Rongjia's domestic enterprises and trade exchanges had basically monopolized nearly half of the Chinese's food and clothing.
Rong Zongjing once said to a friend very proudly: "At the moment, Chinese, half of them eat me and wear me." ”
The Rong family has gone through a hundred years of ups and downs, relying on the achievements and wealth accumulated by the ancestors for generations, not only laying a solid foundation for a higher business empire in the future, but also the strength of the Rong family in China at this time can be regarded as a rich and invincible consortium.
The two brothers, Rong Desheng and Rong Zongjing, became the leading national capitalists recorded in China's modern history.
Rong Desheng
However, in addition, this was not the peak moment of the Rong family.
When people talk about the Rong family, the most famous is the third generation of the Rong family's helmsman, Rong Yiren.
By the year Rong Yiren was born, the Rong family was already a well-known business giant in Shanghai and even in China.
The Rong family is well-off, in addition to the glory and wealth of Zhong Mingding, Rong Yiren has always received the highest cultural education from childhood to adulthood.
Whenever Rong Yiren appeared, he attracted the attention of the world like a proud son of heaven, firstly because of his excellent academic performance and personable nobleman style, and secondly, the most discussed by people was the Rong family behind him.
The Rong family's tutoring is very strict, so the children of the Rong family are all hard-working, not the kind of arrogant and stupid children.
When Rong Yiren was off from school and vacation, his father arranged for him to work in his own factory, not only to be the most bitter and tired grassroots worker, but also to eat and live with the workers, and every day was bitter and tired.
Under the strict supervision of his father, Rong Yiren did not dare to have any special thoughts since he was a child, and his brilliant achievements in life were inseparable from the habits he had insisted on developing since he was a child.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="26" > bravely shouldered heavy responsibilities and walked with the party</h1>
Rong Yiren's university is the history department of St. John's University in Shanghai, the first modern higher church institution in China.
This was one of the best universities in Shanghai and even in China at that time, and most of the people who came to study were the descendants of political and business celebrities or the children of rich families, and the church background was very strong.
The year rong Yiren graduated from university coincided with the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Once bustling shanghai became dilapidated by the shelling of the war, and many of the Rong family's family businesses were damaged by the war.
Uncle Rong Zongjing decided to take refuge in Hong Kong under the arrangement of relatives, unfortunately, Rong Zongjing had just arrived in Hong Kong in the second year, due to the recurrence of the old disease due to the unsatisfactory water and soil, and he died not long after the lingering bed.
The fall of Rong Zongjing was even worse for the Rong family at this time, and the family business was once again seriously hit.
Since then, the responsibility and burden of the Rong family have fallen on the shoulders of Rong Yiren and his father Rong Desheng, who was only twenty-two years old that year.
He began to assist his father in running the Rong family's huge family business, first as an assistant manager at Wuxi Maoxin Flour Company.
A young man in his early twenties, whether it is social experience or human sophistication, Rong Yiren is just a fledgling novice.
From assistant, to manager, to director, Rong Yiren walked steadily and steadily every step, and did not dare to slack off at all.
In front of people is the owner of the Rong family who looks like an infinite scenery, and the heartache and hard work behind it are only known by Rong Yiren himself.
Nevertheless, his choice has always been firm and has never wavered or given up.
Under the rule of the Kuomintang, the government of the Republic of China was in turmoil and the people were not happy.
In order to resist the impact of the Communist Party and alleviate economic pressure, Chiang Ching-kuo "ransacked" a large number of private enterprises in Shanghai under various false names and pretexts.
Chiang Ching-kuo's charge against Rong Yiren'an was "selling moldy flour to the government, and the army ate diarrhea so that the northeast was lost." This statement is really ridiculous.
The Kuomintang had already made up its mind to prosecute Rong Yiren to convict him, but fortunately, when the Communists liberated Shanghai and Chiang Ching-kuo fled in a hurry, Rong Yiren was also spared and escaped.
At that time, the People's Liberation Army risked a huge sacrifice to occupy Shanghai, but the next morning Rong Yiren saw such a scene at the door of his home.
Even if they are sleeping on the street, they are determined not to house and not disturb the people.
Since the memory of the fight, I have never seen such a warlord army that does not commit any crimes.
This scene greatly shocked Rong Yiren's heart.
It was also from this moment that Rong Yiren firmly chose to advance and retreat with the Communist Party.
At that time, the domestic situation was turbulent and the war was raging, and many capital enterprises did not hesitate to choose to transfer their assets and leave the mainland, and Rong Yiren was also ready to send his wife and children to Hong Kong to escape the war.
The moment he saw the Communist People's Liberation Army, he suddenly changed his decision: not to move the factory, not to leave.
Later, Rong Yiren also brought all his family members who remained in Hong Kong back to Shanghai.
At that time, Rong Yiren's father, Rong Desheng, was also more than seventy years old, and he had long ceased to participate in any family business matters, and the Rong family's business fell to Rong Yiren alone.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > "Red Capitalist" Rong Yiren</h1>
Not long after the liberation of Shanghai, Rong Yiren was invited by the government to attend a symposium of business people.
Rong Yiren was the youngest of all the business circles at the time, and he represented the family of the country's largest textile and flour business.
The whole meeting lasted three or four hours.
After the meeting, Mayor Chen Yi graciously shook Rong Yiren's hand and said to him: "You are the only representative of Rong's enterprises in Shanghai, and all rong's family enterprises will be managed by you Rong Yiren alone." ”
At that time, Rong's enterprises were greatly hurt by the war, many factories were destroyed by cannon fodder and closed down one after another, the family has long ceased to have the same strong capital and strength as before, and workers' salary and career crises followed, and a stormy situation was in a state of turmoil.
Chen Yi
With the support of the government, Rong's family business was once again revitalized and reborn.
Later, a year later, Chairman Mao received some members of the CPPCC National Committee in Zhongnanhai, and Rong Yiren was fortunate to be invited to be among them and became Chairman Mao's guest of honor.
Comrade Pan Hannian told Chairman Mao about the Rong family and Rong Yiren, and Chairman Mao cordially shook hands with Rong Yiren and greeted him about rong Desheng's old man who had been raising a family in Wuxi.
Rong Yiren was seated at the second table at that time, along with Premier Zhou Enlai.
At that time, Premier Zhou was handling government affairs a little later than everyone else, and as soon as he entered the door, he greeted everyone warmly: "I'm really sorry, I'm late, I'm really sorry." ”
When the prime minister looked up and saw Rong Yiren, who was only 34 years old, he also said humorously, "Oh, young zhuang faction!" ”
Rong Yiren's name of "Shaozhuang Faction" also spread in the business world.
At that time, Shanghai was vigorously carrying out a series of industrial and commercial social transformations, and Rongjia, as the largest local leading enterprise, was undoubtedly in the limelight and became the focus of transformation at that time.
Rong Yiren felt that this change was beneficial to the country and the people, so he was also very cooperative and actively participated in it.
He took the lead in handing over all the operating accounts of Rong's enterprises to the government, counting materials, checking accounts, and proposing to the government to take the lead in implementing a "public-private partnership" of Rong's enterprises.
Rong Yiren's approach has played a positive leading role in the government's work of transforming industry and commerce, and has made significant contributions to the industrial revitalization and development of New China.
Chairman Mao also personally inspected Rong's textile factory at that time.
Rong Yiren was so excited that he could hardly speak at the moment he saw Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao smiled and said, "Didn't you let me have time to look at you here? ”
After reading the series of materials and accounts handed over by Rong Yiren, Chairman Mao also hand-picked Rong Yiren as a "completely law-abiding household."
As the largest industrial and commercial enterprise in Shanghai, Rong Yiren is China's largest capital entrepreneur, and Chairman Mao's approval is undoubtedly a positive pacesetter for New China, and this move has had a far-reaching impact on Shanghai and even major cities across the country.
Rong Yiren was patriotic and after a long period of deliberation, he made an amazing decision: to donate all the business countries and family businesses under the Name of the Rong Family to the state free of charge.
Since then, Rong Yiren's name of "red capitalist" has also spread.
In the following decades, no matter what kind of fierce turmoil China experienced, Rong Yiren never forgot his original intention of coexisting and dying with the motherland, and has always kept his duty at his post.
At the age of eighty-nine, Rong Yiren unfortunately died in Beijing, and the whole country mourned.
I wonder what the current situation is of the five children left by him and his wife Yang Jianqing?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="79" > "Red Capitalist" Rong Yiren's 5 children and descendants are now? </h1>
Rong Yiren and Yang Jianqing have four daughters and a son.
His children, like Mr. and Mrs. Rong Yiren, are very low-key patriots, and there are few information about them on the Internet.
As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog.
These five children of Rong Yiren are also practical personnel in the trade industry today, and have been involved in finance, industry and commerce in many fields according to the trajectory of the family business.
The eldest daughter, Rong Zhihe, was born in 1939 and served as the chairman of Shanghai Hugang Kindergarten in his early years.
Now she and her husband are the elder of her grandparents at home, and the family is happily settled in Shanghai.
The second daughter, Rong Zhiping, also lives in downtown Shanghai and usually has close contacts with her sister, but the media has rarely reported on the living conditions of the two sisters of the Rong family, so people do not know much about them.
The third daughter, Rong Zhiyuan, is the most unfortunate of the five sisters.
In middle school, Rong Zhiyuan suffered from encephalitis, but was misdiagnosed by quacks, and since then he has fallen into a very serious dementia, and at the worst time, even the basic private life cannot be managed, and can only be accompanied by the nanny aunt every day.
God never gave this girl a little favoritism, lingering on the bed for a few years, Rong Zhiyuan was later diagnosed with lung cancer by the hospital.
In her most wanton youth, the ruthless illness finally took her life and ended her short and painful life.
Rong Zhiwan is the youngest daughter in the family.
Perhaps because Rong Zhiyuan died young, Rong Yiren and his wife poured more love into Rong Zhiwan.
The other half of Rong Zhiwan's golden jade is Ma Youheng, chairman of Macau Jianxinglong Co., Ltd., whose father is Ma Man-kei, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
The marriage of the two can be described as a door-to-door pair, a strong union.
Since their marriage, Rong Zhiwan and her husband have been living in Macau, and the couple has lived a sweet life of husband and wife.
Among the descendants of Rong Yiren's children, the most eye-catching is Rong Yiren's only son, Rong Zhijian.
Rong Zhijian is different from the low-key of his four sisters, as the fourth generation heir of the Rong family, his every move is naturally also eye-catching.
Rong Zhijian is the only male under the knee of Rong Yiren and his wife.
Rong Zhijian was born in Shanghai in 1942.
As an only son, Rong Zhijian has been pinned high hopes on by the family since he was a child.
Compared with his father's thrifty style when he was young, Rong Zhijian, a rich man, can be described as spending a lot of money and has no heartache.
Rong Zhijian
As early as when Rong Zhijian was sixteen or seventeen years old, he had a convertible of his own, and it was very pompous to go out.
Rong Zhijian graduated from Tianjin University.
Friends who know him well know that Rong Zhijian's most obsessive sport from childhood to adulthood is playing baseball, and he even participated in many games as a professional baseball player during college.
After graduation, Rong Zhijian followed his family's arrangement to go to work in Sichuan.
Like his father, Rong Zhijian also started from the bottom of the most basic factory.
It was also during this period that he gained a love of his own, and then gave birth to three children with his wife.
Rong Zhijian has a unique vision in business, he and Rong Zhiqian founded the Aika Electronics Factory, so he also dug the first bucket of gold in his life.
With the family's accumulated funds and contacts over the years, Rong Zhijian also founded CITIC Pacific, and then his corporate business began to penetrate into all areas of life, and his wealth was listed by Forbes as the richest man in the mainland.
However, due to the failure of Rong Zhijian's investment, the company caused huge losses, as the chairman of the group, his responsibility was naturally unshirkable, and soon after, Rong Zhijian voluntarily resigned from the chairmanship, and then gradually faded from the public eye.
In addition to work, Rong Zhijian's biggest hobby is horse racing, and he also has many horses under his personal name, and has won many championship awards.
In recent years, Rong Zhijian's three children have also successively taken charge of the affairs of CITIC Pacific Group.
As the successor of Rong Zhijian's career, Rong Zhijian's three children are also very outstanding figures, with their own achievements in different business fields.
On February 26, 2020, Rong Zhijian ranked 1805th in the "2020 Shimao Shenzhen-Hong Kong International Center Hurun Global Rich List" with a wealth of 11 billion yuan.
All along, the Rong family has been full of talents in all ages, each with its own strengths, and they have also achieved quite outstanding achievements in all aspects through the help of the family and their own efforts.
The inheritance of the family spirit, after several generations of tempering and protection, has been quietly accumulated in the passage of time, and then silently affected everyone in the family.
The Rong family has been patriotic and patriotic for hundreds of years, which is the most precious spiritual wealth of the Rong family.
