But this time Peng Bo came and left quietly. It wasn't until the end of February when "The Sonorous Threesome" was broadcast that friends in Xiangjiang knew that he had secretly come to record the program.
…
Du Wentao: "Qiang Qiang Threesome", today we invite Mr. Peng Bo, the symbol of wealth. He is also the president of Time Warner China. We originally invited him to talk about the Pengbo Rich List. This year's list has not been released yet.
Yeah?
Peng Bo: No, our list is placed in October every year.
Du Wentao: So who do you predict will be number one this year?
Peng Bo: It’s hard to predict. Bill Gates may have been the richest man in the United States for many years, but in China, there has been a new person every year in the past two years.
Du Wentao: The rich people in Britain and the United States may not change that fast. The rich people in China just change like a revolving lantern.
Xu Zidong: Actually, Peng Sheng is warning the richest man this year, it may not be you next year.
Du Wentao: This is definitely what you mean. Do you know the word wealthy? This is what you do.
Xu Zidong: You study wealthy families.
Peng Bo: It seems different. You know that in ancient China, there was a clan system called a family. Where did it come from? You are just a rich man and you cannot be called a rich family. When you are in a family, there are even two or three generations in this family. You
This system can be called a wealthy family.
Du Wentao: Do you think there are any wealthy families in China now?
Peng Bo: If you are talking about this big family, there should be none. Currently, there is none.
Xu Zidong: Then what you are studying now are all the first-generation wealthy families.
Peng Bo: I once did research on one of the oldest family businesses, the oldest family business in the world.
Du Wentao: I have heard about European ones, like the Rothschild family or something.
Peng Bo: It's okay. What I understand is that the oldest family business in the world was the same family doing the same thing 1,400 years ago, that is, it was a hotel. This business is now in Japan.
Du Wentao: Have you ever been bankrupt?
Peng Bo: If it has never gone bankrupt, it has been passed down.
Du Wentao: More than a thousand years?
Peng Bo: More than a thousand years, around the 46th generation, including Rothschild, but he is about two to three hundred years old.
Du Wentao: So, Mr. Peng, does the Lin Yicheng family in Xiangjiang count? Does the four major families in Xiangjiang count?
Peng Bo: We have also counted him. He is the first richest among us Chinese. We recently made a Hong Kong rich list and are preparing to release it in April.
Xu Zidong: I heard that things usually happen soon after being listed on your list.
Peng Bo: That’s not true. We now call the Rich List a list of honor.
Du Wentao: There were rumors back then that we don’t know about, saying that as soon as your list came out, people from the tax bureau would go door to door with your list.
Peng Bo: Maybe it’s a legend.
Du Wentao: Are China’s richest people still afraid of you?
Peng Bo: They are not afraid of me, they are afraid of themselves.
Why do China's richest people experience such ups and downs after entering the "Rich List"? Because the rich regard entering the "Rich List" as the end of their lives, rather than the starting point for a new struggle. Their decline is history.
inevitable.
What's more, once the rich are on the list, they will receive focus and their previous sins cannot be covered up, so it is not surprising that some people are in jail.
In addition, China's economic policies have been turbulent in recent years, which has caused many wealthy people who are chasing the trend to fall completely if they are not careful.
It is easy to start a business, but it is difficult to maintain a business. What can really support wealth without declining depends on the strength and character of the rich. If it is just relying on luck and connections, then such wealth will disappear like lightning.
Du Wentao: So it seems unreasonable to call the 100 Rich List a pig-killing list.
Peng Bo: Of course, the Rich List is not a pig-killing list. There is no causal relationship between being on the list and being off the list. Those who deserve to die will die whether they are on the list or not. Besides, "Peng Bo's Hundred Rich List"
It is no longer important whether the pigs are killed or not. What is important is why so many pigs died before they grew up? Or what exactly did these fat pigs eat that made them so fragile in the end?
Du Wentao: So what do you think makes them so vulnerable?
Peng Bo: Regarding the issue of fallen rich people, I personally agree more with Feng Lun’s theory of original sin. We have made statistics and found that on average, these troubled rich people have problems at the age of 40, are sentenced at 45 years old, and are released at the age of 56. After problems occur (it’s a big deal once they happen)
Sentencing is only given every few years, so if it were left to ordinary people, they might have been sentenced to death long ago. It seems that the rich people on the list are very lucky people.
Du Wentao: Why 40 years old?
Peng Bo: Around the age of 40, according to my research, this is a very dangerous age group. At this age, possessiveness and control reach the peak stage of the entire life. Although a man who is down and out, in reality, may think "give me a
I can hold up a quilt for a bed." However, no matter how poor or depressed he was, he would not commit suicide. Instead, he would most likely vent his anger on others or even draw a knife.
When rich people reach this age, they are almost full of ambitions, thinking like Archimedes, "Give me a fulcrum and I can hold up the earth." Living in an impetuous fool's society like China and not knowing what the rules are,
In an orderly environment, a wealthy Chinese man in his 40s would already be a successful elite figure if there were no major problems.
Du Wentao: Killing a pig or being killed as a pig is a question; it is a problem faced by economic figures and small people alike. Perhaps there is a certain degree of equality in this, and people of all colors "share weal and woe" and may be "killed"
"Doom. No social group can transcend the constraints of civilization level and exist peacefully. Even the extremely rich are helpless.
Okay, the iron-clad Peng Bo list, the wealthy Chinese people, I hope everyone will go well...
…
"It's done." Shi Jiao turned off the TV. This program has a high ratings in the Chinese world. If the release of the pig killing list is a side attack on those who smeared Pengbo Media, this is a positive response.
, and it can also warm up the release of the Hong Kong Rich List in advance, "Mr. Peng said it really well."
"Master Bang is still Master Bang." Zhuo Wei also laughed after watching the TV, "I dare not call him Master Bang for a while..." He looked at Luo Yan who was walking over, smiled at Shi Jiao, nodded and drifted away.
"This person..." Shi Jiao stared at his back. This person, I don't see what he usually does. Shenlong has seen the beginning but not the end, but he is also one of the several major directors of the company.
"Mr. Peng, after checking it out, I know who is playing tricks behind the scenes." Zhuo Wei said with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
"Who is it?" Peng Bo smiled and said, "Don't tell me yet, let's write it down together. Do you think it's this person?"
