Revealing the Seven Types of Success Stories Behind Today's Chinese Billionaires (Pictures)
1. The "Forced onto Liangshan" Type From the late 1970s to the late 1980s, over a span of ten years, most Chinese billionaires who started their businesses fall under the "forced onto Liangshan" type. From the 1990s up until today, this type has continued to emerge. Typical representatives include Li Xiaohua, who has consistently ranked high on the Forbes China Rich List, and Yi Xianzhong, who founded Guangdong Qixi Computer Co., Ltd. Li Xiaohua made his first fortune by selling so-called "American cold drinks" in Beidaihe. His initial investment at that time was 3500 yuan.
