Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 868
As time came to the end of October, a long-awaited authoritative rich list was released and officially disclosed through major media channels.
As a well-known research institution for compiling wealth lists, Hurun Research Institute has already accumulated a good reputation around the world, and its influence is in no way inferior to that of Forbes.
The biggest difference between the two, apart from the fact that Forbes magazine has a longer history, is that the Forbes list is generally released in the first half of the year, while the Hurun Research Institute takes over the baton in the second half of the year.
Just as the world economic situation is often changing, the world's richest list can, to a certain extent, be regarded as a barometer of the world economy, from which one can intuitively see the unpredictable world economic situation.
Every time this time comes, no matter it is the major media or the many onlookers, they will gather together without any prior arrangement to observe the major lists freshly released by Hurun Research Institute as soon as possible.
Just as gossip is always a favorite of the general public, issues surrounding wealth are also enduring hot topics in the public opinion field.
For example, to this day, when people mention the words "the world's richest man", the first person that comes to mind is mostly Bill Gates.
Even in an era when people didn’t know much about computers and knew little about Microsoft systems, many people had heard of the story of this world’s richest man.
This world-famous celebrity, who has been the world's richest man for many years, has undoubtedly become one of the most well-known people in the world thanks to the fame brought by his wealth.
There is no doubt that his name will be recorded in the history books and go down in history.
From this it is not difficult to see the general public's enthusiasm for wealth. As the saying goes, people are in a hurry just to get a few pieces of silver. But it is these few pieces of silver that can relieve the melancholy of the world!
One of the biggest highlights of the 2017 Hurun China Rich List is undoubtedly the change of the title of China's richest man.
Lao Wang, who had previously been the richest man in China and was in the limelight, had to sell assets to repay debts as Yida fell into a debt crisis, and his wealth naturally shrunk significantly.
Only a year later, Lao Wang, who was once extremely high-profile and high-spirited in the public opinion field, has gradually faded out of the public eye, but the "small goals" he set are still circulating in the world.
The richest man takes turns to sit on the throne. This year it was my turn, and Boss Xu took the crown without hesitation. He smiled extremely happily and sat on the throne of the richest man in China.
I don’t know whether it will burn your butt in the future, but it must be very comfortable to sit on it now.
It took him only one year to quadruple his net worth. His "comeback" from being ranked outside the top ten to successfully winning the first place became a story that everyone talked about for a while.
With Boss Xu being crowned as the richest man in China for the first time, the "inspirational" quotes of the new richest man will inevitably become classics widely circulated in the market.
In addition to the biggest highlight of the change of the richest man, more people who eat melons can't wait to start flipping back the list, skipping the two carriages of the Internet and the former richest man...
It was not until after the top ten that I finally found the name I was looking for.
“No. 17, RMB 80 billion, Zhou Dongsheng, 21 years old, Dongsheng Group, investment, Internet”
Many onlookers' eyes lit up. Although he failed to make it into the top ten, and even failed to reach the threshold of a billionaire, there is no doubt that the mere presence of the three words "Zhou Dongsheng" on the list has broken many records.
Compared with his mediocre net worth of 80 billion, his age starting with 2 is obviously more eye-catching!
Even though some people had made a rough summary before, which gave many people a rough idea, when the truly authoritative Hurun Research Institute came out and gave a conclusion that was enough to put the final nail in the coffin...
Many people are still secretly shocked. This guy is really so terrifying!
Also after a year, some people emerged as dark horses and won the title of China's richest man for the first time, while others became the youngest person on the Hurun Rich List again after becoming the youngest billionaire!
Before this, there were young faces on the Hurun Rich List, but most of those who were able to show up on the list were second-generation top-level people who inherited their father's business. For example, Principal Wang, the son of the former richest man, rose to the top by relying on his old father.
In addition, there is a little-known top second-generation Yan Hao. Although he is not as high-profile as Principal Wang, as the successor to a hundreds of billions of business empire, his name still has a place in the top ten of the Hurun Rich List.
Among them, Principal Wang is only one step away from turning thirty, while Yan Hao has already passed the age of thirty.
However, the appearance of Zhou Dongsheng not only broke the record of the youngest person on the list held by the two second-generation people, but the more legendary point is that he was not on the list as the heir to his father's business.
Instead, he made the list as a legitimate first-generation creator! Even though his ranking is not as high as the former, his value is undoubtedly far superior.
Therefore, even though Zhou Dongsheng is only ranked 17th, it does not prevent him from becoming the most watched rising star in the entire Hurun Rich List.
For a time, the three words "Zhou Dongsheng" caused a huge stir in the public opinion field. Not only did the general public rush to discuss it, but many media also flocked to report on it.
"Shocking! At only 21 years old, he has a net worth of 80 billion, and may become the youngest billionaire in the world!"
"The youngest billionaire in China has just been revealed, and he has a fortune of 80 billion at the age of 21!"
"The youngest person ever on the Hurun Rich List, and China's richest person born in the 1990s!"
Headlines like these emerged one after another, and with the media vying for attention, Zhou Dongsheng's social popularity reached a new high.
Not only did he steal the show, but his popularity even surpassed that of the newly crowned richest man, Boss Xu.
After all, compared to the mediocre richest man in China, Zhou Dongsheng obviously has more topics and hot spots. Both the media and the public are more inclined to dig into the stories of the latter.
In addition to the Hurun Rich List, there is another list that people talk about even more, which is the list of the world's self-made young billionaires. The value of this list can be seen from the name alone.
Not only is it not limited to this corner of China, but it also focuses on starting from scratch, which has always been one of the focuses of general public attention.
Since the appearance of this list, Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, the world's largest social network, has always been a frequent visitor to the top of this list.
After becoming the youngest billionaire in the world, no one can shake his title. After all, today, at the age of 33, he already has a fortune of nearly 60 billion US dollars. Looking at the global rich list, he is still among the top.
However, the interesting thing is that on this highly valuable list, not only does the founder of Facebook occupy the first place, but the second, third and fourth places are all from Facebook!
The world's largest social network is indeed worthy of its reputation.
Before this, the top seats on this authoritative list of young talents who have made their fortunes from scratch around the world have basically been monopolized by Western society for many years.
The flow of wealth undoubtedly records the changes in the world pattern to a certain extent. When the world order is dominated by Western society, it becomes a natural thing for it to control most of the world's wealth.
However, things change over time. The objective laws of history have explained everything. No country or dynasty can always dominate the world order.
The process of the changing of feng shui is often not earth-shattering, but has already begun to change subtly and imperceptibly...
And when the three extremely unfamiliar words "Zhou Dongsheng" suddenly landed in second place, just behind Zuckerberg, the sensation caused by this incident obviously far exceeded that of the former.
After all, the Hurun Rich List is only based on China, and on its global rich list, even if the richest man in China is on it, he would still be ranked outside the top 20.
As for Zhou Dongsheng, he is ranked outside the top 100. If we only look at the list of the world's richest people, no matter how young Zhou Dongsheng is, it is obviously impossible for him to get much attention worldwide.
However, this list of the world's richest self-made young people is completely different, and they have a large number of fans all over the world.
The curiosity of the general public is always endless. They are not only curious about who the richest person in the world is, but also pay equal attention to the richest young people.
If the former represents the past, then the latter... represents the future to a certain extent!
As the great man said, the world is ours and yours, but ultimately it is yours.
Although the rotation of the sun and the moon, the alternation of the old and the new, is the eternal theme , but in the midst of it, the vast majority of people are obviously unaware of the upcoming changes...
However, we can undoubtedly get a glimpse of this from this list open to the whole world.
It may not be scary for a completely unfamiliar name to appear in the front row, but the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the suffix "Huaxia" after its name.
For a time, not only domestic media rushed to report on it, but even many Western media noticed the appearance of the name "Zhou Dongsheng".
You should know that on this wealth list monopolized by Western elites, the last person who successfully entered the top ten and broke this monopoly was a young man from China named Wang Tao...
Despite this, it only ranked above tenth place!
However, this time, there was no logic of gradual progress at all, and he immediately reached the second place, and I had never even heard of this name before...
This is obviously unacceptable to the Western media, who are used to the world revolving around them. So naturally they want to find out who Zhou Dongsheng is as soon as possible.
Not only is the media curious, but the number of searches for the name "Zhou Dongsheng" on overseas social platforms has also begun to grow exponentially.
Driven by this continuous influx of traffic, the name "Zhou Dongsheng" even became a hot search on overseas platforms.
Today, in the Internet age, where is the privacy? Even though information dissemination has a certain lag, the traces Zhou Dongsheng left on the Internet are too numerous to count.
What's more, human beings have an insatiable desire for knowledge. As long as they want to know, even the "Great Wall" cannot stop the curiosity of the general public.
Therefore, information about Zhou Dongsheng was soon dug out by many overseas netizens with a strong thirst for knowledge, and began to spread rapidly on overseas platforms.
Even though there are essential differences between Eastern and Western cultures, there are always some deep-rooted commonalities that can ignore cultural barriers and spread unimpeded around the world.
Among them, human nature may be one of them. After all, it has nothing to do with nationality, country, or race.
The admiration for the strong in human nature is a universal truth, and there is no exception in both Western and Eastern culture.
The most representative of these is perhaps individual heroism, which is still one of the most respected mainstream themes today, whether it is the superhero series or the domestic "Wolf Warrior 2" which just made history...
This is undoubtedly the most powerful proof.
Ahem, let's get back to the topic. When many overseas netizens followed the clues and dug up information about Zhou Dongsheng, their mouths opened wider and wider...
"Wardfa!"
Afterwards, they all expressed their feelings about the world being one. Such an amazing genius could still convince people even though there were barriers of ethnicity, country, race and culture.
Perhaps, this is the time when the stars of humanity shine!
The more I learn about him, the more I am impressed by Zhou Dongsheng's many amazing deeds. He has created such an incredible miracle at the age of 21...
So what about the future?
Not only is the desire to admire the strong common, but the mentality of pushing someone to the altar and secretly hoping to pull him down from the altar is also part of human nature.
In this process, Zhou Dongsheng has undoubtedly come a long way in this small piece of land in China.
But in the wider world, the name "Zhou Dongsheng" is something that most people obviously know very little about...
Therefore, when many overseas netizens who dug deep into Zhou Dongsheng's information were impressed by his legendary experience, in addition to being excited, the first thing they thought of was to spread this information.
Sharing is undoubtedly the first element of social interaction, and this is particularly evident on the Internet. No matter what they see on the Internet, the general public is keen to share it as soon as possible.
And under the influence of social fission, information has a basis for dissemination.
At the age of 21, he had already built a fortune of tens of billions of US dollars from scratch and became one of the richest people in the world...
Looking at platforms at home and abroad, it is undoubtedly one of the contents that the general public likes to watch!
