In mid-February, domestic media reprinted a report from foreign media, which caused quite a response.

This is an article published in Forbes magazine in November 1999. The article lists a list of fifty rich people in China, which is the so-called rich rankings.

The list is divided into four levels.

The wealth of individuals or families exceeds 1 billion yuan, 500 million to 1 billion yuan, 100 million to 500 million yuan, and 50 million to 100 million yuan. A total of 50 people in China are on the list.

Forbes specially created a cover for this list, which was a Chinese man, but the faces on both sides of the character are very different.

On one hand, it is an old dress from China in the 1970s, and on the other hand, it is a big brother in hand and a gold watch.

Forbes is a professional business magazine in the United States. It is famous for publishing professional articles in finance, industry, investment and marketing. It has a great influence in the financial field.

This article has attracted much attention abroad, and many mainstream media abroad have commented.

They believe that this is an example of the emergence of capitalists in China, from which they can analyze the rise of the wealth class and the changes in the wealth society in China.

Some people in China became rich first and formed a new social class.

Some media also jokingly say that Chinese people have finally found the feeling of getting rich and glorious.

Foreign media always feel mysterious about China. This list unveiled a corner of the mystery and let them understand the huge changes this country is undergoing.

Wealth is always an attractive topic.

Three months later, this article was reprinted by domestic media, with the title "Who is the richest person in China?"

The domestic rich class appeared in public for the first time, and the people finally knew that those people were the richest.

Lin Zixuan looked at the report and smiled bitterly, because he was also ranked 48th on the list, belonging to the level of 50 million to 100 million.

The list of fifty people on the rich list is mainly based on industries such as trust, manufacturing, health care, real estate and resources.

There are two people in the entertainment industry who have entered the list, the other is Liu Xiaoqing, who ranks 45th.

Liu Xiaoqing's entry into the list is not only due to her pay, but also real estate investment and various foreign trade companies. She has always been the richest person in the entertainment industry and is known as the billionaire sister.

As the boss of Good Dream Company, Lin Zixuan is also a best-selling writer, with total assets exceeding 50 million.

He smiled bitterly because it was not a good thing.

Chinese people have always paid attention to wealth and do not reveal their money. Rich people are unwilling to let people know, except those nouveau riche.

One is that truly rich people are used to being low-key, and the other is that they shoot the first bird.

This list will attract the attention of the media and relevant departments, such as the tax department. How much money you earn and how much tax you pay, the problem may be found by comparing the two aspects.

At this time, tax evasion in enterprises is a common phenomenon and it is difficult to find out. The tax department does not have the energy to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

The Rich List is like a guide, telling the tax department to check these people.

So, when seeing this list, Lin Zixuan's first reaction was to ask Haomeng Company and his partner publishing house to check whether he had any tax evasion.

He and the publisher settled royalties every six months, and the publisher also had the possibility of tax evasion.

Besides, this list is not true enough.

There are not many rich people in China, but there are also many. Lin Zixuan knows some people who are richer than him, but those people are not on this list.

This list comes from a British man named Hu Run.

He was an accountant. He came to work in Shanghai from London in 1997 and did not make a name for himself. In July 1999, he had the idea to create a list of rich people in China.

His purpose of making the Rich List was not to show it to Chinese people, but to attract attention in Europe, the United States and other countries.

Hu Run's process of making the list is quite rough.

He and several colleagues estimated the amount of Chinese financial newspapers and magazines, the donation list of charities, the stock prices of listed companies and the amount of tax paid by the company.

These public information became the basis for him to produce the rich list, and his guesses made a list.

It can be seen from this that Hu Run chose those entrepreneurs who are well-known and often appear in the media.

Lin Zixuan meets this requirement. Whether he is the boss of a film and television company or a best-selling writer, his income is not difficult to estimate.

Hu Run believes that Lin Zixuan's wealth exceeds 70 million and has great growth potential in the future.

He only spent two months checking the information, and was extremely hasty, and did not seriously understand the national conditions of China, and of course there was no channel to understand.

As a foreigner with little fame, it is impossible to be accepted by the rich class of China.

In early September, Hu Run sent the list of fifty people he had made to commercial media in Europe, the United States and other countries.

Nearly ten professional financial media including The Times, Financial Times, Fortune, Business Weekly, Forbes and other nearly ten professional financial media outlets, In the end, Forbes chose to publish this report.

Hu Run wrote a passage in it.

"The coming October 1st is the 50th anniversary of the founding of China. If success is defined as how much wealth you have, then these fifty people are the most successful people in China. Their stories can help the world better understand China's society."

This is the process of the emergence of the rich list, and there was no communication with these rich people in advance.

Hu Run didn't know how much trouble he caused to the rich people in China.

After the Rich List was reprinted by domestic media, the Rich List had two reactions. Some people didn’t want to be on this list at all, while others tried every means to be on the list.

Lin Zixuan is a person who doesn’t want to be on the list. It’s not that he is pretentious, but that he feels it’s unnecessary.

He drove no more than 500,000 yuan in car, he would not wear famous brands or watches worth millions. Like most wealthy people in China, he maintained a low-key life.

This list has a great impact on him, allowing him to enter the public eye as a rich man.

For example, if you donate less, you will definitely be scolded. If you are the top 50 rich people donate just a little. Do you have any conscience and unscrupulous financial fellows?

This situation will happen frequently in the future, and people will come to attract investment, ask for fundraising, etc.

Once you refuse or give less, you will be criticized and moral kidnapping is common in the country.

Relatively speaking, he is at the bottom and the pressure is not too great, so the rich people who are at the top will not feel good.

Putting down the newspaper, Lin Zixuan asked Mu Shanshan to call Liu Xiaoqing to remind Liu Xiaoqing to pay attention to tax issues.

It is easy to talk to women. Liu Xiaoqing's development in the past two years has focused on business. There are not many film and television works, and everyone has less contact, but they are still friends.

This reminder is a natural part of friends, and it is impossible for her to listen or not.
