The time goes back to about 17: 33 p.m. on June 14th, 22, in Villa A6, Junlan International Golf Village, Beijiao, Shunde, because of the COVID-19 epidemic, my son He Jianfeng, daughter-in-law Lu Deyan and my little grandson, who were all abroad, all returned to China. He Xiangjian, the founder of Midea Group, is enjoying a rare family reunion.
Suddenly, five strange men broke into the house, and one of them claimed that he was tied with explosives. Then he made clear his intention, with the goal of directly controlling He Xiangjian and demanding a lot of money from it.
However, when the suspect focused his attention on He Xiangjian, He Xiangjian's son, He Jianfeng, kept calm, immediately jumped into the river next to the villa, swam all the way to the other side and successfully called the police.
after receiving the alarm, three levels of police in Guangdong, Foshan and Shunde rushed out and quickly surrounded Hejia Villa. After 12 hours of long negotiations, the suspect was subdued at 5 am the next day and He Xiangjian, 79, was successfully rescued. He Lao, who has experienced many storms in his life, was lucky to have a false alarm in the end, and all his families were safely rescued without any injuries.
According to the police report afterwards, the cause of the whole incident was explained: the principal offender, Li Moulong, a native of Zhanjiang, was unemployed and addicted to gambling, with evil thoughts behind him, and wanted to make a lot of money by kidnapping the richest man in Shunde. So, he gathered his friend Chen Mou and three fellow villagers, and agreed on the distribution plan after getting the huge sum. It also passed months of careful planning and decided to put it into action on June 14.
These five suspects know that He Xiangjian is rich, but they don't know how rich He Xiangjian really is.
in 22, He Xiangjian's family ranked sixth on the New Fortune 5 list with a net worth of 165.27 billion yuan. In recent seven years, He Xiangjian has been the only traditional manufacturer among the top ten richest people in China. It was once regarded as "the biggest enemy" by Dong Mingzhu.
Midea Group, which has devoted its life to it, has a market value of over 4 billion yuan, which has increased by 1 billion yuan in the past year. In 219, Midea's revenue exceeded 27 billion yuan and its net profit was 25.3 billion yuan, nearly twice that of 215. Whether it is performance or market value, Midea has shown the strong growth of manufacturing giants to the capital market. He Xiangjian's main wealth comes from holding 31.7% shares in Midea Group.
As a white power giant on a par with Gree, Midea Group is still firmly in the hands of Midea, with He Xiangjian as the actual controller. He Xiangjian is the soul of Midea Group and Ho Family. He Xiangjian's only son, He Jianfeng, daughter-in-law Lu Deyan, and two women, He Qianxing and He Qiane, are the right-hand man of this family.
after completing simple mergers and acquisitions in the early years, He Xiangjian, who knows his way around, began to make great efforts in listed companies. According to incomplete statistics, at present, He Xiangjian family member * * * controls 8 listed companies, including 6 A-shares, 1 New Third Board company, 1 Hong Kong stock, and 1 German company, and has also participated in more than 1 financial institutions.
In addition, Wandong Medical (655.SH) disclosed in February this year that it would be acquired by Midea Group, and now it has issued a report on the change of equity, which means that it has also been included in the He Xiangjian family.
A capital map with He Xiangjian as the core, covering manufacturing, automobile, medical care, real estate, culture, environmental protection, film and television, finance and new energy, etc., has emerged and is constantly expanding ...
An employee of Midea Group once revealed that He Xiangjian rarely appears in the company except for the annual dinner of Midea Group. Midea Group employees once described He Xiangjian at the dinner party to the media: "The boss is easy-going, quiet and smiling, just like an old gentleman next door." But even so, it didn't affect his role as the soul of Midea Group.
in may, 1968, He Xiangjian raised 5, yuan to set up the "plastic production group in north street" in Shunde, his hometown. in 198, he began to manufacture fans and entered the household appliance industry, and registered the "beautiful" trademark the following year. In 1992, it promoted the shareholding system reform of Midea.
Midea Electric was listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 1993, becoming the first listed company reorganized from township enterprises in China with a market value of 1.8 billion yuan. The income increased from 487 million in 1993 to 2.5 billion in 1996, which is a rapid development.
In 21, the company completed the stock purchase of the company's top managers, and further improved the modern enterprise system.
In the first few years of listing, Midea Electric still focused on doing business. In 27, the capitalization route of Midea began to appear, and Goldman Sachs, a well-known investment bank, was introduced as the second shareholder.
He Xiangjian stepped down as the chairman of Midea Group on August 26th, 212. He is currently the chairman of Midea Holdings Limited and the honorary chairman of Guangdong Heping Charity Foundation. Fang Hongbo, a professional manager. Midea has also begun to enter the era of professional managers.
after taking office, Fang Hongbo carried out the "stormy" reform with the gesture of "a strong man broke his wrist". Its first major event was the completion of the overall listing of Midea Group's share swap and merger of Midea's electrical appliances, making Midea a leading A-share home appliance. From 216 to 217, Midea ushered in a highlight moment, and its market value rushed to the first place in Shenzhen many times.
However, He Xiangjian has never stopped expanding, whether it is "handover" or not. In 217, Midea Group started the merger and acquisition to expand Zhang Zhilu. According to the announcement of Midea Group, on January 6, 217, Midea Group acquired the German-listed industrial robot KU2.DF for 29.2 billion yuan, of which He Xiangjian indirectly held 94.55%.
Evergrande, Baoneng and other real estate and insurance giants are obsessed with cross-border car making, and Midea has not given up this "excitement". In 22, Midea HVAC Equipment Co., Ltd. acquired Hekang Xinneng (348.SZ) in the automobile industry for 74 million yuan. He Xiangjian held 23.73% of the shares and became the actual controller. Midea Group said that the business layout of Hekang Xinneng in energy conservation, environmental protection and new energy vehicles will increase the diversity of Midea Group's business.
In February this year, Midea Group announced that it would acquire 29.9% equity of Wandong Medical and become its controlling shareholder.
of course, the expansion of beauty continues. Midea Innovation Investment Co., Ltd. holds 1.13% shares of semiconductor and intelligent equipment company Lexin Technology (68818. SH), and Midea Group holds 9.1% shares of robot manufacturing company Eft-U (688165. SH); Midea Intelligent Technology Industry Investment Fund Management Center holds 2.18% of the shares of Youfang Technology (688159. SH), an industrial Internet of Things company.
However, Midea's investment-led diversified development strategy has also been tested. At present, the market value of KUKA Robot acquired by 29.2 billion yuan is only 1.667 billion euros (equivalent to 12.886 billion yuan, the exchange rate is 7.73).
Liang Zhenpeng, an analyst in the home appliance industry, told Yema Finance that Midea's diversification has gone too far, which is irrelevant. Even some small companies have bought it. Third-line brands such as Lingwang Elevator still have some synergy with Midea's real estate business. However, the acquisition of a large number of unrelated businesses, without professional care, also occupies the development resources of the main business, such diversification is very dangerous. Historically, enterprises such as Little Swan, Aucma and Chunlan all dragged down their main businesses due to diversified expansion.
He Jianfeng, the beautiful "prince" who swam to save his father in the second generation of the family, chose not to take over. However, we should know that its family fortune mainly comes from two parts. The first part is the well-known Midea Group. The other part is Yingfeng system controlled by He Jianfeng, the son of He Xiangjian. So it seems that He Jianfeng has created another career, but its development is still closely related to beauty.
He Jianfeng was born in 1967. He graduated from South China University of Technology. At the age of 27, he began to stand on his own feet and started his father's old job.
In 1994, He Jianfeng set up a company in Shunde, and started to manufacture rice cookers and induction cookers for Midea. In22, Yingfeng Holdings was established, and its business covers fans, electric heaters and rice cookers.
However, He Jianfeng soon realized that his strong point was not doing business. He Jianfeng cashed in nearly 7 million yuan in 24, which was earned by selling his two companies to Midea Electric.
In 26, Midea Group and Zhongshan Jiayu Investment Co., Ltd. transferred part of the equity of ST Shangfeng (967.SZ) to He Jianfeng, without making any money, making He Jianfeng the controller of the listed company. After all, He Jianfeng still touched the light of beauty.
It is reported that He Jianfeng has already begun to brew its own acquisition plan in the investment field. In 28, He Jianfeng adjusted the company's development strategy and changed its name to "Guangdong Yingfeng Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd.", announcing the complete transformation of Guangdong Yingfeng from an industrial company to an investment company.
In March 216, Shangfeng Hi-Tech was renamed Yingfeng Environment. He Jianfeng began to have the first listing platform-Yingfeng Environment.
In March 218, He Jianfeng invested 1.8 billion yuan in the main film and television company Hualu Baina (3291.SZ), holding 4.45% of the shares personally, and holding 17.55% of the shares through Yingfeng Holdings and affiliated companies. He Jianfeng holds 34.1% of the shares in total, which is the ultimate beneficiary.
Among them, the main executives of Yingfeng Environment and Hualu Baina, which are controlled by He Jianfeng, are from the former US department, such as Fang Gang, Chen Jianwu, Zhang Jingping and Kuang Guangxiong, and Fang Gang once served as the chairman of Yingfeng Environment and Hualu Baina, and Kuang Guangxiong also served as the director of both companies.
Yingfeng Environment presented an announcement in May 22 to promote the listing of its fan industry. It is estimated that He Jianfeng will soon welcome the third listed company.
after that, under the leadership of He Jianfeng, Yingfeng Holdings sang all the way. Yingfeng Capital, a subsidiary of Yingfeng Holdings, has laid out AI and robot tracks. Yingfeng Capital invested 41 million US dollars (equivalent to 2.684 billion yuan) in Shangtang Technology and 135 million yuan in Cool Wow Robot respectively, and also invested in unicorns in AI fields such as Yunzhisheng and Yunwhale Intelligence.
With the opening of science and technology innovation board, AI companies such as Defiance are coming to the market, and the He Xiangjian family's "listed company club" will also welcome more players.
At the same time, He and his son acted together, quietly controlling many financial institutions, and gained a lot.
according to the data of private placement network, at present, Yingfeng Capital has a management scale of more than 1 billion yuan, with 43 funds.
in July 215, He Jianfeng was involved in the rumor of "shorting", and the private placement in the secondary market was exposed. In this "short China" storm, 34 accounts of Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges were restricted from trading. Yingfeng Capital has four quantitative hedge fund accounts among them.
The largest shareholder of E Fund is Yingfeng Holdings, holding 22.65%; At the same time, it is also one of the founders of Guangdong Mintou, a joint investment platform for private enterprises in Guangdong Province. According to Sky Eye, Yingfeng Holdings owns 4 funds, all of which belong to the commercial service industry, and its foreign investment funds are as high as 19.
In addition, Shunde Rural Commercial Bank, which is known as the "Treasury" of Shunde, has also been invested by He Jianfeng and Midea. At present, the bank is preparing for an IPO. According to the Prospectus, the second and fifth largest shareholders are Midea Group and Midea Finance Company, and He Jianfeng holds .2% of the shares personally, with a total shareholding of 9.71%, which greatly exceeds the shareholders including Chengshun Assets and Guangdong Wanhe Group.
in addition to the above-mentioned financial institutions, according to the article "America's few owners are involved in short selling" published by China Business News in August 215, at that time, He Xiangjian and his son also participated in Golden Eagle Fund, Jiangsu Bank, Hubei Bank, Jiangxi Zhangshu Shunyin Village Bank, Fengcheng Shunyin Village Bank, Zhejiang Shangyu Rural Cooperative Bank and open source securities.
It's not uncommon to see examples of "one generation doing business, the second generation doing finance" like Ho's father and son, such as Zhu Mengyi and his daughter Zhu Jurong.
according to the analysis of the insiders, "it's easy to conquer the country, but difficult to defend it". The macro environment is different, and the industry is not as easy as before. It is a good choice to turn to new economic fields such as finance. Moreover, China's wealth market has just begun, and the public's money will flow more into equity assets, and the investment industry will be an explosive industry.
The role change of Ho family women in the United States began in 1997. In that year, in order to better promote the modernization of enterprises, He Xiangjian dismissed a group of entrepreneurs, including his wife, Liang Fengchai, then the warehouse manager.
He Xiangjian's daughter-in-law, Lu Deyan, ranked 21st in the 22 Hurun Women Entrepreneurs List with a net worth of 29.5 billion.
Lu Deyan is also very low-key. The outside world only knows that she was born in 1967, is a permanent resident of Hong Kong and has the right of permanent residence abroad. Others are rarely exposed to public information.
Among them, Lu Deyan and her father-in-law, He Xiangjian * * *, both hold the holding of Midea, the major shareholder of Midea Group. It is reported that Midea Group's controlling shareholder is Midea Holdings Limited, holding 35.49% of the shares, and Midea Holdings is actually controlled by He Xiangjian, holding 94.55% of the shares. The remaining 5.45% shares of Midea Holdings are held by He Jianfeng's wife Lu Deyan, with a market value of 1.428 billion yuan.
besides the daughter-in-law, the two daughters also occupy an important position in the family. He Xiangjian's eldest daughter is He Qianchang and her youngest daughter is He Qianxing, both of whom are business people.
Not long ago, a Hefei enterprise named "Huitong New Materials" submitted the materials for listing in science and technology innovation board, which attracted a lot of attention. This company is controlled by He Qianchang, with a woman named Li Jianyi as the chairman, and He Qianchang directly holds 34.1% equity of Huitong New Materials. Li Jianyi was once the director of the company under Midea Group. His sister He Qianxing is also a natural person shareholder of Hefei Huitong New Materials Co., Ltd..
At the same time, He Qianchang is the actual controller of a century-old molding technology company in Hefei.
The above-mentioned enterprises mainly produce molds and plastic products, which belong to the upstream industry of Midea Group.
according to the industrial and commercial data, He Qianchang and He Qianxing are both Foshan Shunde Yinghai Investment Co., Ltd. (both holding 4.55%).
Daughter-in-law Lu Deyan, in addition to holding the controlling shares of Midea, is also the head of Midea's home ownership. Midea Real Estate is listed in Hong Kong, with annual sales of hundreds of billions, more than 2 commercial centers and tens of millions of square meters of reserved land. Now she is in charge of the family real estate business.
