But the difference is that some rich people who have made money have no sense of belonging to our motherland as they take advantage of the east wind of our economic development. Instead, I always think about running out and immigrating to become a foreigner. Today we will talk about the six "super rich people" who have obtained foreign nationality but are still making Chinese money in China!
1. Haidilao founder Zhang Yong
Haidilao is a phenomenal catering brand in my country, and has won the top 100 Chinese catering brands for many years. After was listed in 2018, its peak market value once reached 400 billion. To summarize the rise of these catering chain brands in my country, there must be two support points: one is the domestic demand market created by my country's huge population; the other is that my country is in a period of rapid economic development, bringing extensive growth to these industries dividends .
But those who are interested found that before Haidilao was listed in 2018, Zhang Yong and his wife were already Singaporean nationality. has a saying that Zhang Yong and his wife are actively developing foreign markets, and Singapore's nationality will have more policy benefits, which we cannot verify. Haidilao now has more than 320 branches around the world, and it is not impossible to become an international catering giant in the future.
2. Founder of BBK Duan Yongping
If you are not very young, you should be impressed by Xiaobawang game console and BBK learning machine . These two products have accompanied that generation through their childhood years. These two brands were founded by BBK Group , a subsidiary of Duan Yongping. , and Duan Yongping also incubated two major mobile phone brands: vivo and oppo, and now it also occupies a considerable market share of in China.
However, Duan Yongping became a US citizen as early as 2001. Duan Yongping did not conceal the act of changing nationality, and said that he joined the United States to be with his lover. However, most people do not buy into this statement, believing that Duan Yongping is just to avoid taxes and obtain greater benefits.
3, South Beauty founder Zhang Lan
Zhang Lan is the founder of my country's famous catering brand South Beauty. After graduating from Canada in 1991, he chose to return to China to establish South Beauty, and it has developed rapidly. By 2008, South Beauty was already a nationally renowned high-end catering chain brand, and was also one of the official catering partners of the Beijing Olympic Games. At that time, Zhang Lan had already reached 2 billion yuan, which was definitely a model of starting from scratch.
In order to further expand the territory of South Beauty, Zhang Lan signed a financing agreement with Dinghui Investment in 2008 and agreed to complete the listing of the " bet " clause within 4 years. If is not completed, Dinghui Investment will take away 20% of the annualized returns and interest. In the end, South Beauty failed to go public. Zhang Lan couldn't afford enough money to return it to Dinghui, so she had to make all South Beauty shares and pay back the money. In the same year, Zhang Lan applied for a change of nationality, immigrating to the island countries of St. Kitts and Nevis.
4. Sunde founder Shi Zhengrong
Shi Zhengrong, was an outstanding entrepreneur in the field of photovoltaic in my country. At the age of 37, he returned to China to start a business and founded Wuxi Suntech . At that time, my country's photovoltaic field was just starting, and Shi Zhengrong seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and also promoted the development of my country's photovoltaic industry. In 2005, Shi Zhengrong ushered in a highlight moment, and Wuxi Suntech successfully went public, making Shi Zhengrong's net worth 2.313 billion US dollars, becoming the richest man in China that year.
After his career was successful, Shi Zhengrong began to squander freely and once said bluntly, "I will no longer think about making money, I just want to spend money." But every industry is fiercely competitive, and the company's development is like sailing against the current, and if it does not advance, it will retreat. During the years when Shi Zhengrong was relaxing, Shangde was quickly surpassed by his peers. In 2013, Suntech was formally ruled to go bankrupt and reorganize. It only took Shi Zhengrong 8 years to go from the richest man to zero in and finally escaped to Australia.
5. Sunac founder Sun Hongbin
Sun Hongbin, founder of Sunac Real Estate. Sun Hongbin's early entrepreneurial experience was extremely bumpy. He was first imprisoned for suspected embezzlement of public funds, and then was proven to be innocent and received 500,000 yuan in compensation. Sun Hongbin used this 500,000 yuan to invest in real estate and founded Shunchi Real Estate , but eventually went bankrupt. Then Sun Hongbin started his business again, founded Sunac, and developed all the way to become a real estate giant in my country.
Sun Hongbin himself is quite controversial. When Sunac's development was booming in 2017, Sun Hongbin chose to become a US citizen. But whenever natural disasters occur in China, he will take the lead in making donations. If a friend in domestic business has problems with his business, he will also generously donate. So some people think he is a patriotic entrepreneur, while others say he is quite low.
6. SOHO founder Zhang Xin
Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi are the founders of SOHO, a famous real estate company in my country. Thanks to the booming development of my country's real estate industry, Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi and his wife made a lot of money. But after getting rich, the couple began to cash out crazy and transferred SOHO equity to US Blackstone Group at a low price. After cashing out , it began to invest heavily abroad and purchased US assets many times.
Zhang Xin and Pan Shiyi and his wife also immigrated to the United States on the grounds of their children's education and donated 600 million yuan to American schools. You should know that during the Wenchuan earthquake that year, the couple only donated 2 million yuan; when the Wuhan epidemic broke out, the two of them did not donate a penny. was therefore called "H adulter couple" by netizens. In an interview, someone asked Cao Dewang how he viewed Pan Shiyi and Zhang Xin, while Cao Dewang expressed his opinion in 11 words: "Pan Shiyi and his wife are very savage."
Conclusion
There are many reasons why the rich chose to immigrate, some are for tax avoidance, some are for the market development, some are for the education of their children, and of course some are also compiled. We cannot interfere with citizens' immigration freedoms; however, the state has reason to control the losses of Chinese property.
