Wang Yongqing, a wealthy businessman: I bought 6,543.8 billion square meters of land in the United States and donated it to the motherland. How is that land now?

Since the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, and at the same time, a large number of rich people have emerged, such as Jack Ma, the now famous richest man. But before Ma Yun, the richest man in China was Wang Yongqing. And he once spent huge sums of money to buy 1 100 million square meters of land in the United States and donate it to China. What is the situation of that land now?

Wang Yongqing was born in 19 17. My ancestral home is Quanzhou, Fujian. He is called "the God of Management". He has an extraordinary business sense and sense of smell, and established a huge business empire with Formosa Plastics Group as the mainstay. However, Wang Yongqing's background is not rich or even poor. His father is a tea farmer, and he himself has been an apprentice in the rice shop since he was a child.

1932, Wang Yongqing started a business with 200 yuan borrowed by his father, and opened his own rice shop. 10 earned a sum of savings and bought 50 mu of land to transform into a timber business. By 1943, his net worth has exceeded 50 million yuan, but this is only the beginning. He founded Fumao Plastic Company in 1954, and has made continuous progress. Finally, he monopolized the plastic production in the whole island, with a record of 1978 USD.

With this 1 100 million dollars, Wang Yongqing expanded his own industry on a large scale, and at the same time developed into other industries, including electronics industry and petroleum industry. While developing his career, he did not forget to make social contributions and often participated in public fundraising and public welfare undertakings. In the 2008 Wenchuan Olympic Games, he donated 6,543.8 billion yuan to help the reconstruction of the disaster area.

During his lifetime, a * * * aid established more than 10000 schools and donated more than one billion yuan. The most admirable thing is to buy 1 100 million square meters of land in the United States and donate it to China to develop modern agriculture in China, but this plan finally fell through. Why is this?

As we all know, land in the United States is privately owned. Once purchased, it can be permanently owned and used indefinitely. Therefore, Wang Yongqing bought 6,543.8 billion square meters of land in the United States, which is legally owned by him, and he has the right to use it for China. However, American law stipulates that the land sold must be developed within a time limit. Those that have not been developed and utilized for a certain period of time will be recovered or charged high taxes.

Wang Yongqing bought 654.38 billion square meters of land and actively donated it to the motherland to develop agriculture. However, due to the problems of immigration and agricultural planting, it has not been used for development, resulting in the land being put on hold for a long time. 10 On June 5th, Wang Yongqing died in the United States. During his 92 years, he has three wives and five children, so the distribution of his inheritance has caused great controversy.

And this 6,543.8+billion square meters of land, not only has not been used, but also has to pay huge fees and taxes, so his children are unwilling to accept it and finally recovered by the United States. Poor Wang Yongqing spent money and manpower to buy 654.38 billion square meters of land and donate it to the country. In the end, it was abandoned because it was not used perfectly and competed with children for inheritance rights. If Wang Yongqing knew anything, he would die unsatisfied.

Every generation has its own legend, and Wang Yongqing is the representative of outstanding entrepreneurs from the 1940s to the 1970s. At home, he raises children and is filial to his parents. During his career, he started a company to develop enterprises. In his country, he set an example and made contributions to society. From a rice shop apprentice to the richest man in China, his life is worth learning from.
