There's a joke going around online: If you had a million and went back to the year 2000, how would you become the world's richest person?
A bunch of people replied that you shouldn't buy a house, but should invest in stocks and become a billionaire.
The Hong Kong stock market opened in 2000. Wait for Tencent to go public in 2004, buy its original shares with a million, and watch your investment grow 400-fold.
Or wait until 2006, when it has risen fivefold, and your initial investment becomes five million.
Buy China State Shipbuilding Corporation in 2007, then cash out in October after a thirtyfold gain.
Starting in 2008, switch to equity investments and invest in Jack Ma. Invest in Xiaomi in 2010. After that, do whatever you like, and you can soar into the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Gu Qinghua says she was reborn in the year 2000, but she doesn't have a million. So how is she supposed to become the world's richest person?! Help! Waiting online!
