The richest woman, Gong Ruxin: She and her husband saved 40 billion by starting a business, but they have no children and no one will inherit their property after their death.
If you don’t bring it with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death. This sentence is about property. No matter how much money a person has, he will be empty-handed when he rushes to hell. In 2007, Hong Kong tycoon Nina Gong, who was once the "richest woman in Asia", died of cancer and left a huge fortune of HK$40 billion after her death.
But this woman who cheated all the time was said to be a loner in the first half of her life; in the second half of her life, she was said to be crazy and a crazy woman. She is over sixty years old, dressed in girl's clothes, with her hair braided, and chatting happily, making her look like a child from Tianshan.
The combination of Gong Nina and her husband Wang Dehui is the real-life version of Cinderella becoming a princess.
Gong Ruxin was born in Shanghai in 1937. Her father was an employee of a paint company, while Wang Dehui, who was 3 years older than her, came from a wealthy family. Because of their business contacts, the two The family gradually became familiar with each other, and Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui became childhood sweethearts.
Unexpectedly, in 1949, Gong Ruxin's father passed away forever in an accident. This incident gave Gong Ruxin a big blow, and without financial support, Gong Ruxin had to give up her studies. Just when Gong Ruxin was at a loss, her fate took a turn for the better. The noble man in Gong Ruxin's life came, and later this nobleman also became Gong Ruxin's husband.
After marriage, Gong Ruxin was full of love for her husband, and she liked to be called "Mrs. Wang" the most, so she was willing to be Wang Dehui's good wife and her right-hand man. In this way, the two of them spent several years with the male leading the outside and the female leading the household. But in 1960, she and her husband decided to be self-reliant and start their own business. Gong Ruxin also walked from behind Wang Dehui to his side and fought alongside him.
Finally in 1960, Wang Dehui and his wife Gong Ruxin set up their own business and founded "Chinachem Real Estate", which is the predecessor of Chinachem Group with a market value of hundreds of billions today. The name "Chinachem" actually comes from Wang Tingxin's company, but although Wang Dehui and he are father and son, they run separate companies. Even if the company names are the same, they have nothing to do with each other. They are not inheriting the father's business, but It is truly "self-reliant".
After the company was established, Gong Ruxin became Wang Dehui's secretary. Since Chinachem Real Estate had many foreign businesses, in order to help her husband run the company better, Gong Ruxin also went to study English. Gong Ruxin, who had been admitted to university, has a strong learning ability. After several months of hard work, she mastered fluent English, which provided great convenience for Wang Dehui to negotiate business.
The first few years after its establishment were not smooth. There was no good land in hand, so it could only do some projects that were leftover by others. Wang Dehui’s stingy personality was also fully demonstrated at that time.
The engineering staff need to use pencils of different thicknesses. Wang Dehui is not even willing to spend the money for an extra pencil, so he just lets them use one. When they need to use a thicker pencil, they will grind off the tip. When it's thin, peel it again.
This stingy style did not change even after they became rich. Other companies would distribute a box of mooncakes to their employees on August 15th. The couple cut the mooncakes into four pieces and divided them among the employees. Eat.
This indeed saved them a lot of money, but it also became the fundamental reason why Wang Dehui lost his life.
In early 1983, Wang Dehui and his wife were blocked by an unknown vehicle that suddenly appeared on their way to work. A group of gangsters armed with sharp knives and firearms surrounded them. Wang Dehui was put into a large refrigerator and taken away, while Gong Ruxin was threatened by the gangsters to go home to withdraw money. "If you call the police, break up the ticket" was the only sentence that Gong Nina remembered in extreme panic.
Worried about her husband's safety, Gong Nina collected the ransom as quickly as possible, regardless of the danger, and personally took 11 million US dollars and remitted it to the bank account designated by the kidnapper. After receiving the money, Wang Dehui was released safely. The whole family finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person was back safe and sound. And Wang Dehui and his wife were completely known to people because of this huge kidnapping case.
But misfortune never comes singly. After several years of peaceful life, her husband Wang Dehui was kidnapped again by robbers.
This time they offered a ransom that was several times higher than last time. At this time, Gong Ruxin was a little shaken. She planned to take half of the ransom to redeem her husband, and then give the other half to the robbers. Unexpectedly, this behavior completely angered the gang of shameless people. Her husband Wang Dehui was abandoned into the sea and separated from heaven and man ever since.
After learning that Wang Dehui had been pushed into the sea with his car and his body, Gong Nina was still unwilling to accept it and searched hard for three years.
Suddenly one day, Gong Ruxin, who had always presented herself as a business elite, suddenly changed her style. In her 50s, she wore two braids that were extremely inappropriate for her status, and also put on a festive red sweater. , miniskirts and other bizarre girly outfits, coupled with glamorous makeup, the whole person looked particularly weird. Hong Kong media once thought she was stimulated and was not in good spirits.
Gong Nina's style changed drastically when she reappeared in front of people. She became more smiley and made everyone laugh. Miniskirts, printed T-shirts, and super inconsistent braids have also become her new trademarks. .
Some people think that the shock was too great, causing Gong Ruxin to go crazy. In fact, this is not the case. In some old photos, there is a photo of Gong Ruxin and Wang Dehui. In the photo, she is young with two long braids. This infatuated woman is waiting for the day when a miracle happens. She is commemorating the beauty of the past in her own way.
After two years of "reclusion" in Chinachem, Gong Ruxin suddenly realized. Over the years of marriage to my husband, the empire that I had built up little by little could not just collapse like this. They had no children, but Chinachem was the joint effort of both of them. Gong Ruxin got up early that day, combed two high braids, put on a short T-shirt, a miniskirt, and walked out of the attic full of longing in high heels.
After Gong Nina took over Chinachem, Chinachem’s diversification label became more and more popular. Gradually, Chinachem Real Estate also developed from the previous unified business model to today’s diversified operations and diversified investments. It has become a giant group integrating real estate, hotels, industry and trade, entertainment, and diversified transnational and multi-industry investments.
Dressed as a girl, with a bold heart and thunderous means. Gong Ruxin, with the help of a group of elders, propped up the Chinachem business empire. Since Chinachem is not listed, the outside world can only speculate on its wealth. In 2007, it was estimated that the wealth of the entire Chinachem Group was nearly 100 billion.
A rich woman with hundreds of billions of dollars is actually unhappy. In her heart, she is still the little sweet girl waiting for her husband to come home. In order to find Wang Dehui, she prayed to gods and Buddhas and became superstitious about Feng Shui. She spent 3.2 billion on Chen Zhencong, a Feng Shui swindler who was halfway through becoming a monk, leaving behind widespread erotic scandals.
It has to be said that although Gong Ruxin was deceived by a Feng Shui master, she was really good at business. When her husband left, the company's valuation was only 10 billion, but in her hands, it soared to 80 billion. huge. In 1997, Gong Nina, then 60 years old, became the richest woman in China.
At this time, everyone at Chinachem realized that Madam was no longer a little girl who could only print. Gong Nina not only has brains, she is also the most diligent person in Chinachem. She arrives at the company early every morning at 8 or 9 a.m. and works at night until 2 or 3 a.m. before getting off work. Employees often have to answer her work calls at night. Compared with sitting at home and thinking wildly, Gong Nushin's condition is much better after being busy and fulfilling.
In the early years, Chinachem was a small dye shop founded by the father-in-law Wang Tingxin. In the hands of Gong Ruxin and his wife, the dye house turned into a real estate and economic and trade tycoon. Half of this huge inheritance is filled with Gong Ruxin’s blood and tears. Over the years, Gong Ruxin never gave up looking for her husband. She dreamed that her husband was on a desert island, and she had to go to seek confirmation before she would be willing to accept it.
Gong Ruxin lived up to her husband's last wish. Even if her beloved is no longer around, the two of them still have their lifelong efforts. Wang Dehui conquered the country and Gong Ruxin expanded the territory. When a person passes away, the best place for all his wealth is to return to society and contribute to society. This legendary rich woman who bounces around and always retains a childlike innocence also has exactly the same social ideals.
