Not just the richest, they're the most
impressive too
Tycoon Li
Ka-shing and China's richest man, Liu Yonghao, are among the 10 most
impressive entrepreneurs in the country, according to a poll.
The survey by Zero-point Opinion Poll
Agency also found the images of the entrepreneurs were closely related to
those of their enterprises.
Some 4,336 people from 10 cities were
randomly selected and invited to vote for the 10 most impressive
entrepreneurs in China.
As well as Cheung Kong (Holdings)
chairman Li and pig-feed tycoon Liu, Haier chief executive Zhang Ruimin,
Legend Holdings chairman Liu Chuanzhi, Sohu.com chief executive Charles
Zhang, Sina.com co-founder and adviser Wang Zhidong, Sichuan Changhong
Electric president Ni Runfeng and Sun Television Cybernetworks Holdings
co-founder Yang Lan were listed among the 10 most impressive entrepreneurs.
Li was ranked at 23 on the Forbes Global rich-list this year.
The 73-year-old magnate, Asia's richest,
had a fortune estimated by Forbes at US$10 billion (HK$78 billion).
Liu, 53, chairman of the New Hope Group,
was named the richest mainlander. His family firm has assets of US$1
billion.
Wang Qunwei, deputy director of
enterprise management research centre in China Social Science Institute,
said an entrepreneur's image played an important role in the success of the
enterprise. ``It is necessary to build an image that matches their
enterprises,'' she said. - By
