Owner of the Regent Beijing Hotel

A rich man appeared in Jiangsu. He changed from a poor boy in the countryside to a big businessman in Shanghai, worth 654.38+092 billion.

Recommendation: With the popularization of higher education in China, a large number of college graduates, whether doctors, masters, undergraduates or junior college students, seem to be in a state of "bad street" every year.

Then, in this context, people can't help but think about a question: Is education equal to ability?

After all, modern people often attach importance to academic qualifications when looking for a job. Education is a stepping stone, but maybe you don't know that education doesn't mean ability, because there are not a few people who have no education for many years, but they still create great careers.

For example, China and Jiangsu have such a rich man. I started to work hard in society before I graduated from primary school, and now I am a billionaire. His name is Tong Jinquan.

Compared with many rich families in Jiangsu, Tong Jinquan's name is really low-key, but he is very beautiful and never ambiguous.

According to encyclopedia data, Tong Jinquan, 1955 was born in Qidong, Jiangsu Province in April, and is currently the founder and chairman of Changfeng Group.

In the newly released "202 1" New Fortune 500 Rich List, Tong Jinquan ranked 243rd with wealth 192 billion.

To give you a brief introduction, Shanghai Changfeng Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. is a large-scale real estate development group company in Shanghai, which includes Shanghai Longzhimeng Shopping Center, Changfeng Center, Regent Hotel, Marriott Hotel and Ruifeng Apartment Chain Hotel. Over the years, the development area of the Group has exceeded 20 million square meters, and the current assets exceed 654.38+000 billion.

Because there were nine brothers and sisters at home and the educational resources were limited at that time, Tong Jinquan dropped out of school in the fifth grade of primary school. With 20 yuan from my parents, I became an apprentice and a craftsman. This is the first time he has gained wealth through his own efforts.

When he was seventeen or eighteen, Tong Jinquan followed others to raise bees. However, at that time, because he didn't know the beekeeping technology, his bees were completely eliminated. This entrepreneurial experience hit him hard. Fortunately, his mother comforted and encouraged him in time.

From 65438 to 0975, 20-year-old Tong Jinquan entered Qidong Table Tennis Factory to work. According to the data, this is just a factory set up in a village. Since then, Tong Jinquan has worked hard to become a factory director.

From 65438 to 0983, Tong Jinquan was the general manager of Nantong Xinjian Sporting Goods Company, where he met many business owners and found that most of them were optimistic about the development of China real estate industry, so he also had his own ideas.

From 65438 to 0992, Tong Jinquan founded Changfeng Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. in Shanghai, which was one of the earliest real estate developers in Shanghai at that time.

At the beginning, Tong Jinquan didn't have enough funds to develop land in Shanghai. He thought of a way to buy a house with all his money and then sell it in a few months. Through this operation, Tong Jinquan soon earned millions of wealth.

From 1993, Tong Jinquan participated in the old district reconstruction project in Shanghai with limited funds and developed more than 3 million square meters of commercial real estate in eight years. For example, the most famous commercial projects are Menglong Shopping Center, Menglong Hotel, Regent Hotel and so on.

Moreover, the low-key Tong Jinquan has been very optimistic about the development of tourism for many years. Dragon Dream in Taihu Lake, a large-scale comprehensive tourism project led by him, now receives tens of millions of tourists every year, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

I wonder what you think of this low-key Jiangsu rich man?
