Is it difficult to become the richest man in China? It's difficult, but having a man serving his sentence in prison has not affected him to become the richest man in China. This person is Huang Guangyu, the founder of Gome.
Huang Guangyu was arrested by the public security organs on June 5438+00, 2008, and was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment 14 years in June 2065. However, in prison, Huang Guangyu did not become the richest man in China. The biggest reason is that he married a good wife.
Huang Guangyu founded Gome Supermarket in Beijing on 1992. Later, Huang Guangyu saw the future of this sales model, so he expanded a large number of stores in Beijing and started chain operation. After two or three years of development, Gome has hundreds of stores, and Huang Guangyu has also made a fortune with Gome. In 2004, Gome was listed on the backdoor in Hong Kong, and Huang Guangyu entered the capital market, and his worth soared to tens of billions, becoming the richest man in China, which can be described as the peak of his life.
But in 2008, Huang Guangyu began to decline. He and his brother Huang Junqin were investigated by the judicial authorities for illegal loans, and his wife Du Fu was arrested. The sentence was not pronounced until 20 10. Huang Guangyu was sentenced to 14 years in prison, and his wife Du Fu was sentenced to three years' probation and released in court. The official verdict allowed Huang Guangyu to enter Gome again, and his worth soared again.
20 10 -20 1 1 is the internal control period of Gome. Before Huang Guangyu served his sentence, Gome acquired Yongle Electric in Chen Xiao. After Huang Guangyu took office, Chen Xiao became CEO of Gome. When Gome was short of funds, Chen Xiao introduced American Beth Capital, and wanted to join hands with Beth Capital to expel Huang Guangyu from Gome, which was something Huang Guangyu was extremely unwilling to see.
In order to keep the control of the Huang family in Gome, Huang Guangyu tried to bring his lawyer and sister into the decision-making level of Gome, but they all ended in failure. Just when Huang Guangyu was desperate, his wife Du Fu stood up.
On the one hand, Du Fu negotiated with Beth Capital, and on the other hand, he increased the number of Huang family members on the board of directors through network resources. After promising Beth Capital the benefits, Beth Capital promised not to reorganize the board of directors. Later, Huang Guangyu bought a large number of Gome shares, making his own shares account for 36%. Chen Xiao later resigned and left the United States, and the infighting ended.
After the control dispute, Gome was in power by Du Fu, and its business began to rectify. Coincidentally, at this time, Du Fu's 8.3 billion assets in Hong Kong were also thawed, like showers, which brought the current situation to Gome.
20 1 1, Gome made a profit of 800 million from a loss of 600 million. Up to now, Du Fu is the actual head of Gome, whose sales have soared from 800 million to 68.4 billion now.
Although Huang Guangyu is in prison, his wealth is stable in front of Forbes list every year 100. I have to say that Huang Guangyu married a good wife. Without Du Fu, Gome still doesn't know his last name!
