Anyone can be successful as long as the business idea is solid and a strategy is also vital.
But some really go the extra-mile and aren’t only comfortable with running a company but they have the ambition to be the best!
Zhang Xin (張欣) is a woman entrepreneur in China…but she is also one of the wealthiest self-made women in the country. Knowing the importance of social media...it is certain that such digital tool helps to blend on a global level to reach the highest synergy.
The incredible fact is that she is around seven times richer than the Queen with a net worth of approximately £2.4bn. That’s what is called success.
So people are questioning her fortune and how did she get that wealth!
Brought up in poverty in Beijing, she then moved to Hong Kong at 14 and worked in a shop. Being rather ambitious and willing to move forward rapidly - another change of scenery – by 19 she took the direction of the UK for some Economics studies in Cambridge.
Zhang Xin was then employed by Goldman Sachs (New York) for a while. She decided to return to China in 1995 and became the founder of a real office estate company: SOHO China.
This was then the largest firm of its kind. During the UK recession, her company’s profits reached £360m. Private banking in Hong Kong is certainly the safest way, especially when reaching those kind of amounts.
SOHO China is run by herself as the CEO and her husband Pan Shiyi, being the chairman.
AS stated by The Independent; she is a billionaire with a conscience!
“…She said in an interview with Newsweek last year that China lacked entrepreneurs like the late Steve Jobs…”
