From 65438 to 0937, Gong Ruxin was born in Shanghai and graduated from Shanghai Middle School. Gong Ruxin's father also works in Chinachem Company and is Wang Dehui's father's sworn brother in Shanghai, so she and Wang Dehui are childhood friends. As far as education is concerned, Gong Ruxin is not very good. She studied in the Chinese Department of Shanghai Normal University for one semester, and then dropped out of school due to illness. After coming to Hong Kong, I studied in Marino for a year. After graduation, I worked as a secretary in the accounting building. My boss scolded me for spelling the wrong words in the English alphabet, so I quit my job and went home. 1955, at the age of 18, Gong Ruxin married Wang Dehui in Hongkong. Gong also has two younger sisters and a younger brother. The second sister Gong Center is a doctor, and the fourth sister Gong Xinxin works in China Trade. My brother Gong Renxin ranks third and is also a doctor.

Wang Dehui, a native of Wenzhou, Zhejiang, was born in 1935. The Wangs have been doing business for generations, and their father, Wang Tingxin, founded Hua Mao Company in Shanghai, engaged in bleaching, dyeing and importing western medicine. After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the Wangs moved to Hongkong. After Wang Dehui came to Hong Kong, he studied at St. Stephen's Middle School in Stanley. Later, he joined Hua Mao because he failed to go to the United States for further study.

In the early 1960s, Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin established Hua Mao Real Estate Company. In order to help her husband Wang Dehui develop Hua Mao, Gong Ruxin went to Yitongying College near her home to study English. In the process of starting a business, the couple worked hard and did everything by themselves. In a very short period of time, they have developed from managing western medicine and chemical raw materials to acting as agents for emerging petroleum industrial products, agricultural products and feed of world-famous brands, and become world-famous large companies. In the process of assisting her husband's management, Gong Ruxin gave full play to her potential, actively grasped the trend of market economy, made correct decisions with Wang Dehui, and gradually formed the unique management style of Hua Mao Group.

With their joint efforts, Hua Mao became more and more famous. However, the couple are not satisfied with this. Both of them set their sights on real estate. Although the real estate industry was underdeveloped at that time, they saw the development prospect of the real estate industry and turned the main aspect of their business to real estate. Hua Mao was smart enough to seize a gap that few people paid attention to, that is, a house built for ordinary people. Because it accurately identifies the needs of the lowest and most consumers, this transformation is very successful. They developed the New Territories and built a lot of public housing in Sha Tin. And give full play to the specialty of management, from buying land and building to selling, leasing, managing and setting up finance, one company monopolizes and provides mortgage installment services for buyers. It can be said that Hua Mao's management method in the real estate industry was the first of its kind in Hong Kong. This successful move enabled Hua Mao Group to develop rapidly and established its position in the real estate industry.

By the 1970s, Chinachem Group had become one of the largest private real estate developers in Hong Kong. The group has participated in the development of more than 700 real estate projects in Hong Kong, and buildings with the symbol of Chinachem Group can be seen almost everywhere. In the 1980s, Hua Mao was in full swing. 1987 arranged for the company to go public, but failed to reach an agreement with the underwriter. But at this time, Gong Ruxin is just a woman standing behind Mr. Wang Dehui. Although many important decisions were made by her and Wang Dehui, Gong Ruxin rarely appeared in public.

Although Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin's lifestyle has always been low-key, they have attracted the attention of the gangs. 1983 At the beginning of the year, Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin were kidnapped by several gangsters with knives and guns on their way to work in the independent garden house on Bailu Road at the top of the mountain. The gangsters put Wang Dehui in a big refrigerator and sent her back to the robber hole. They released Gong Ruxin home and asked her to prepare a large sum of money for redemption. Wang Dehui was released after Gong Ruxin remitted 1 1 ten thousand dollars to a designated Taiwanese bank account. Due to the elaborate planning of the kidnappers and the complexity of the case, this case caused a sensation throughout Southeast Asia at that time. Wang Dehui and Gong Ruxin became famous overnight and really became the focus of public attention. Although the kidnapping did not cause any harm, it left the couple with psychological trauma. However, the disaster is not over. 1In April, 990, Wang Dehui was robbed again on his way home from playing squash at Happy Valley Jockey Club. Two days later, "Hua Mao" received a blackmail call from the kidnapper, demanding 60 million dollars. Gong Ruxin first deposited $30 million into a bank account according to the kidnapper's instructions, and then called the police for help. But so far there is no news. According to the kidnappers arrested by the police, Wang Dehui has been thrown into the sea. I haven't heard from you since.

Gong Ruxin began to walk out of the background. At first, people had to be skeptical about Gong Ruxin. Judging from her miniskirt and T-shirt, she is obviously an unyielding woman. And people can't compare her with the image of a strong woman in business in movies and TV. Capitalist magazine once described her like this: "Gong Ruxin, born in Shanghai, is only 5 feet tall, wearing a short silver skirt and two braids in her hair, like a fashionable girl skipping to the mall." So the media nicknamed it "Chinachem Britney Spears".

Gong Ruxin knows the burden on her, and the employees of the company are also questioning the ability and expectations of the new chairman. Later, Gong Ruxin recalled her own scene at that time and once said: "When I did well, people said it was because I had the foundation laid by my husband; When things were not ideal, they said that I dragged down my husband's company. " However, despite this, she still went forward bravely and won the recognition of the industry and society with her own efforts and sweat.

Facts have proved that she is an excellent female president. She is meticulous in her work, and listens to her subordinates personally to report business development 1 hour or more every day. After several years' struggle, Huamao is more influential than Wang Dehui when he was alive, and its development momentum is growing. For decades, Chinachem Group has participated in more than 700 real estate development projects in Hong Kong. Today, the group has become one of the companies with the largest land and property reserves in Hong Kong and the largest private real estate development company in Hong Kong.

Gong Ruxin's struggle has been recognized by people in the industry and praised as a "witch" by ordinary Hong Kong people. It is conservatively estimated that her property in Huamao Group, the largest private real estate company in Hong Kong, is about HK$ 26 billion, ranking fourth in the real estate industry in Hong Kong. Huamao has more than 200 buildings in Hong Kong, covering Britain, the United States, Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province. Business direction has developed from real estate to finance, property management, entertainment, catering and other fields. Some people call her "the queen of buildings" and "the richest woman in Hong Kong".

1994, Gong Ruxin announced that he would invest 100 billion yuan in Wu Yang Road, Tsuen Wan, and build the "Nina Building" with a height of 5 18 meters and a floor of 108. Finally, because the design of the building affects the flight path, the building can only be built at a height of 324 meters. Gong Ruxin made a concession and divided the plot into two parts to build a dual-use hotel and a commercial hotel. After becoming the coach of Hua Mao, Gong Ru devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work. She once said: "I arrive at the company before 9 am every day and get off work at 5 pm ... Monday to Saturday, every day, Sunday, instead of going to the company, I go to the construction site and do it seven days a week." Really achieved a career like life.

On the premise of focusing on this industry, Gong Ruxin turned his attention to the biotechnology industry. At present, seven biotechnology projects have been invested in the United States, four of which have been listed. For example, the American listed company "Gene Lab" holds 65,438+03.2% equity, which is the largest single shareholder of the company and a famous biopharmaceutical company in the United States.

In 2002, the High Court ruled that Wang Dehui's will held by Gong Ruxin was forged. She was once arrested by the police, but Gong Ruxin has been appealing. In 2005, the Court of Final Appeal ruled that she could keep tens of billions of assets.

On April 3, 2007, Gong Ruxin died in Hong Kong Yanghe Hospital at the age of 70.
