It seems that it's not that everyone has no money, but that Wang Sicong, the son of the richest man, has no money. In a conversation in 2023, Huang Yiming asked Wang Sicong for the child's living expenses, and Wang Sicong's answer was that he was both aggrieved and helpless: "You bear with it, I will have money for you next year." ”
Now that it's 2024, does Wang Sicong have any money? Why does Huang Yiming still hold his illegitimate daughter to do live broadcasts on the Internet to make milk powder money? Wang's richest family, what has it experienced in the past few years? To say that Wang Sicong has no money, this is really too subversive of public perception. At the peak of Wanda, what did Wang Sicong say? "I never look at whether he has money when I make friends, anyway, he doesn't have as much money as I do."
"You don't need to know what Aston Martin is, you can't drive it in your life. If there's the only limited edition Aston Martin in Shanghai, it's mine. ”
As the son of the richest man, Wang Sicong has his self-confidence and pride. But in the past three years, with the de-bubble and deleveraging of real estate, the family wealth of the Wang family has also shrunk sharply. First of all, it was Wang Sicong who started his own business and lost a mess. Among them, the worst loss is Panda TV, with a loss of 20 billion. not only lost all the money he earned, but also urgently asked his mother to pay 100 million. As for Wang Sicong's e-sports industry, such as the Banana Project, it has not developed very well.
Originally, the "Talk Show Conference" and "Tucao Conference" created by Xiaoguo Culture, which Pulse Capital participated in the investment, became two phenomenal programs and made a lot of money. Wang Sicong holds 100% of the shares of Pulse Capital, while Pulse Capital holds 2.16% of Xiaoguo Culture, which is not a lot of shares, but it is also the only remaining project.
As a result, the laughing fruit culture disappeared overnight, and the entire talk show industry collapsed. In general, Wang Sicong's own projects are either seriously loss-making or not very profitable. When the times were against the current, the myth of a rich son starting a business also collapsed overnight.
Secondly, Lao Wang is also struggling. Wanda Commercial Management hit Hong Kong stocks, failed to gamble, and faced huge cash repurchase pressure. Under the pressure of debt, in order to save himself, Lao Wang could only break his arm to survive, gave up his absolute controlling stake in Wanda, and sold Wanda Plaza while selling 60% of Wanda Commercial Management's equity, leaving only 40%. Even Wanda Cinemas, which can provide continuous cash flow, has sold a controlling stake to Tencent. After continuous weight loss, Wanda survived, but the wealth of the Lao Wang family also shrank significantly.
When he was once the richest man, Wang Jianlin's family wealth exceeded 220 billion, and now there is only 140 billion left. But compared with other real estate companies, Wanda has already weathered the difficulties and crawled out of the gutter. After all, Xu Jiayin's whereabouts are still unknown, and large real estate companies such as Country Garden, Sunac, R&F, and Agile are all in debt and are still struggling to survive.
Therefore, Wang Sicong in 2023 said that he has no money, not really no money. It's that he can't afford to give Huang Yiming money in addition to satisfying his own expenses. The company is running very badly, Wanda is struggling again, and Wang Sicong in 2023 is naturally living a little poorly. Of course, this kind of constraint is also far ahead of the average person.
During this period, Wang Sicong, who loves to buy luxury cars, also began to sell luxury cars. An Aston Martin DB11, the original price was 3.54 million, and the listed price was only 1.49 million. Another customized version of the Rolls-Royce Phantom has a landing price of about 18 million, and the listing price is only 8.58 million, with a depreciation loss of tens of millions.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and after entering 2024, the Wang father and son have indeed eased up. For Wang Sicong, as long as he doesn't start a business or invest, he will engage in new projects, professionally make tender models, and fall in love with female Internet celebrities, no matter how much money his family spends, he can't spend it all. The Wang family was able to recover, mainly thanks to Wang Jianlin's perseverance and hard work. Even if he is already a 70-year-old man, he can still stabilize his position in the mall and hold Wanda.
In the countercurrent of the times, we do not seek to forge ahead, but seek to go ashore. There is no doubt that Wanda is ashore. On the contrary, after selling 60% of Wanda's equity, Wang Jianlin, Wang Sicong and his son got out. The debt pressure is not so great, and Wang Sicong will most likely lose his inheritance rights to Wanda, but with a professional capital institution operating Wanda, not only Wang Sicong can lie flat well, but even the illegitimate daughter Flash, who is eating "Baijia Rice" on the Internet, can also lie down well.
In business, you don't have to be brave to be successful. Sometimes, it is more important to learn to let go and learn to advance and retreat. Huang Yiming, as a small Internet celebrity, is also quite interesting, she named Wang Sicong's illegitimate daughter "Shining", implying that both of them have to enter the door!
Wang Sicong may not be responsible, but after all, she is the eldest daughter of the Wang family. In addition, Wanda is no longer the family business of Wang Jianlin and his son, and there is no equity dispute, just lie down and wait for dividends. Compared with ordinary people, the Wang family has one more baby girl, and the pressure is not so great!
Wang Sicong can't afford to pay for milk powder, and the eldest daughter of the richest family begging for food online is not a system after all.
