Reborn in 2014: From E-Commerce to the Richest Man

How did an e-commerce entrepreneur become the richest person in 14 years? You'd be lucky to even create TikTok.

Many people who achieve financial freedom through e-commerce were involved in shady businesses in their early years, such as health supplements, plasters, and similar products. The e-commerce industry was already quite competitive in 2014; it was a red ocean market. The author likely has experience in the gray market or selling products on Douyin (TikTok).

Unless you have both Pinduoduo and Douyin in your hands, you will never become the richest person in China.

China doesn't need internet software tycoons. The essence of such tycoons is that they extract wealth from the people without generating any revenue, thus harming the real economy. What the country needs is a technology-driven, real-economy industry.

Without sufficient resources and funding, no technology is of any use; it becomes meaningless.

Is the author no longer involved in e-commerce because of taxes?

Why does it have to be the richest person? Making money quietly is the key.
