In the business world, entrepreneurs often face a myriad of challenges and uncertainties, even the most successful ones. This point has been fully reflected in the famous Chinese entrepreneur Wang Jianlin. In 2016, Wang Jianlin's net worth reached an astonishing 300 billion yuan, surpassing Li Ka-shing, who has been the richest man in Asia for 15 consecutive years, and becoming the new richest man in Asia.
At that time, Wang Jianlin was infinitely beautiful, and his success story became the focus of major reports. In an interview with Lu Yu, Wang Jianlin not only generously displayed his office, collectibles and private jets, but also unexpectedly broke out a sentence: "Set a small goal first to earn it 100 million!."As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately attracted widespread attention and discussion in the society.
However, not long after Wang Jianlin said this, his company, Wanda Group, was subjected to strict official control and the suspension of bank loans, and suddenly fell into a trough. Wanda Group's liabilities are as high as 600 billion yuan, which puts Wang Jianlin's corporate empire under great pressure and challenges.
Once the richest man in Asia, he has now lost his status as a major shareholder, and Wang Jianlin's experience is embarrassing. However, despite the difficulties he faced, Wang Jianlin persevered, hoping to change the situation through his own efforts. By contrast, the fate of Xu Jiayin, another prominent Chinese entrepreneur, is even more worrying. His company, Evergrande Group, is also facing significant debt pressure, and many fear that he may not be able to get out of this predicament.
Under the sound market system of Europe and the United States, it is difficult to appear such brute businessmen as Wang Jianlin and Xu Jiayin. This is because in countries with a sound market system, entrepreneurs need to follow a series of rules and laws, and their behavior is strictly regulated. In China, because the market system is not yet perfect, entrepreneurs sometimes resort to some unconventional means to pursue business success, which also leads to greater risks and uncertainties for them.
The business world is full of variables and challenges that even the most successful entrepreneurs should not take lightly. Wang's story reminds us that in the pursuit of business success, we need to remain humble and cautious, follow the rules of the market, and do a good job of risk management so that we can better cope with challenges. At the same time, we should also pay tribute to those entrepreneurs who have persevered in the difficult situation, and their perseverance and efforts are worthy of our Xi and respect.
