Mr. Xu made a comeback on Wall Street through his own efforts.

Part 2: The "Rothschild Family" in the Chinese world. This is a Chinese family composed of more than 40 main members. The total assets are 45-50 billion US dollars. Its financial resources should be higher than those of Li Ka-shing and other rich people.
They are low-key and secretive. They do not choose to directly operate and manage a large enterprise or listed company on the table. Instead, they diversify their investments around the world and in various fields through indirect investment and asset management, so the world knows very little about them.
.
Their ability to create and accumulate wealth has broken the "curse of not being able to get rich for more than three generations" in the East and the West, and they are not afraid of the "natural law" of "thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river".
This family is originally from Fujian and originated in the late Ming Dynasty 500 years ago.
Their ancestors first followed Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong and his son to fight against the Qing army.
After the failure of the Zheng family, the clan members fled to Nanyang to make a living and successfully accumulated a large amount of wealth through maritime trade. However, they were completely destroyed in an anti-Chinese incident in Indonesia more than two hundred years ago.
This genocide caused other surviving tribesmen overseas to re-examine their views on wealth and life, and added the concepts of low-key, invisibility, global perspective, and apolitical into their unique strategies for wealth innovation and management.
In the next 200 years and five generations, the entire family has been able to survive the bloody turmoil of history because of continuing this ancestral motto. From US$100,000 back then, to today, it is in an invincible position with wealth that is incomparable to the country.
Part Three: The causes and consequences of writing this book. Since 2003, the author has been investing in mainland China.
Because I am engaged in investment consulting work, I have contact with all the top wealthy people in China.
Regrettably, by 2010, after only seven years in China, a quarter of the wealthy people I knew had fallen. The better situation was to return to the common people, and the worse situation was to become a prisoner.
The author hopes to convey through this book that "difficult things in the world must be done with ease, and great things in the world must be done with details." This is also true in the field of wealth accumulation, and help Chinese people establish a correct concept of wealth.
