On the last day of 2024, Shen Jinghong, the founder of the tens-billion private equity company "Hongtu Capital", jumped from the rooftop of Pudong. He once refused to participate in a betting agreement to short-sell his hometown company, and was hunted by international capital. In the end, his wife and children were separated, leaving him with nothing.
When he woke up, he was lying in a leaky tile house in rural northern Jiangsu in 1990.
This time, 22-year-old Shen Jinghong decided to change his path - not to become a financial tycoon in the spotlight, but to be a silent whale, sneaking in the deep sea without being seen by anyone.
From treasury bill arbitrage on the green train, to the myth of the "30-yuan paper head" subscription warrant in 1992; from the long-short lock-up and exit in the 1995 327 treasury bond incident, to the Asian financial crisis, the Internet bubble, the 2007 bull market, the 2015 leveraged bull... He accurately stepped on the points time and time again, and disappeared behind the scenes again and again.
He spent thirty years quietly establishing a capital landscape spanning finance, industry, and the Internet. But no one knows who the owner of these wealth is - even the woman he loves most only knows that he is a "business person."
This is not a flamboyant story about getting rich, but an epic about tolerance, choice and witnessing the times. When everyone was chasing the wind, he chose to sink into the deep sea; when everyone was partying, he chose to leave quietly.
