Henry Ford famously believed himself and other men like JP Morgan to be reincarnated Pharaohs. A reminder that no matter what you accumulate or achieve in life the only thing you do here that carries any weight whatsoever is the impact you make on others and let others make on you. If there is a metric by which we can measure the success of a life lived, I can’t think of a better one.

Interesting lore (2/???)

Okay so I thought I'd make this lore-related post considering that I now have a handful of followers to share some character lore with~

This might be a simple little post but I'm going to give as much detail to the best of my ability.

So to be clear...

(Look in alt text thingies) Haiyan, Mangkhut and Utor are all siblings, With Utor being the eldest brother, and Mangkhut and Haiyan both being twin brothers.

Kong-Rey and ShanShan are also related, they're both cousins to Mangkhut and his brothers. ShanShan is also Kong-Rey's cousin by the way.

As for Fengshen, he is biologically related to the Ronanio family, but due to the tragic death of both his biological mother and father, he is adopted by the Zhong family. Fengshen is actually part of Kong-Rey's childhood.

I'll probably add more posts for the juicy lore later.

The Jade Emperor (played by Liu Xiaolingtong) sent Nezha (played by Han Han) to the human world to find the guardian of the three realms. Nezha learned that there was a huge stone on Mount Tai that absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, when he arrived, the huge stone had already transformed into Shi Gan Dang (played by Zhang Zijian) and left Mount Tai before him. Shi Gan Dang was ridiculed in the mortal world, but his kind-hearted nature persevered in using his magic power to protect all living beings. In the end, the people discovered Shi Gan Dang's integrity and courage. At the same time, Nezha mistook the giant monster for Shi Gan Dang. In the misunderstanding, Nezha and the real Shi Gan Dang fought. In the end, the misunderstanding was resolved and the giant monster was eliminated by the two together. Five hundred years later, the god Qui-Gon (played by Liu Dekai) attempted to rebel, and the gods and even the Jade Emperor were killed. Fortunately, Shi Gan Dang escaped to save everyone and bravely entered the Asura world full of terror and danger.

Full list of Forbes’ 25 world billionaires in 2023

American business magazine, Forbes, in its 2023 list of 25 richest people in the world, featured Bernard Arnault on the No. 1 spot, followed by Twitter Chief Executive Officer, Elon Musk.

In its previous list in 2022, Musk was on the No. 1 spot.

Forbes described the drop of Musk from the top spot as ” this year’s second-biggest loser”, adding that “Elon Musk, had it worse.”

For Jeff Bezos, fortune knocked him from number. 2 in the world in 2022 to No. 3 this year as Amazon shares crashed by 38 per cent.

Musk lost his title of the world’s richest person after his pricey purchase of Twitter, which he funded in part by the sale of Tesla shares, helping to spook investors. Musk, who is worth $39 billion less than a year ago, is now No. 2.

For Jeff Bezos, fortune knocked him from number. 2 in the world in 2022 to No. 3 this year as Amazon shares crashed by 38 per cent.

Also, among the top 25, two billionaires — Zhang Yiming, Changpeng Zhao lost their spots and were unable to make it on the list for this year.

Yiming, the founder of Tik Tok-parent Bytedance, dropped one place, from No. 25 to No. 26, as his embattled company has taken a haircut from investors while Zhao, Binance founder, known as CZ, fell from No. 19 last year all the way to No. 167 amid the crypto winter.

China’s Wealthiest Man Criticizes Tech Giants and Government Inaction in Rare Public Reproach

China’s richest man, Zhong Shanshan, founder of beverage giant Nongfu Spring, has openly criticized online shopping platforms for triggering price wars that he claims have harmed businesses and industries amid the nation’s economic slowdown.

In a rare and bold statement, Zhong also directed criticism at the Chinese government, accusing it of being "negligent" in addressing the destructive trend of aggressive pricing strategies.

His remarks, made during a visit to a county in eastern China on Tuesday, were quickly censored by state-controlled media, reflecting the highly sensitive nature of such critiques.

Zhong specifically targeted Pinduoduo, a popular e-commerce platform owned by PDD Holdings, for its role in damaging Chinese brands and industries.

"Internet platforms have disrupted our pricing system," he said, according to the state-owned media outlet The Paper. "Pinduoduo’s pricing model has caused significant harm.

It’s not just a matter of bad money driving out good money—this has become the orientation of entire industries, with pricing dictating everything."

Public criticism of the government is exceedingly rare among Chinese business leaders, as those who speak out often face repercussions. Zhong’s comments stand out as an unusual and direct rebuke of both corporate and governmental practices in China’s evolving economic landscape.

Pinduoduo has experienced rapid growth in recent years, fueled largely by its aggressively competitive pricing strategies.

During the same press conference where he criticized Pinduoduo, Zhong Shanshan, China’s wealthiest individual, also took aim at the government, accusing it of failing to address this damaging trend.

These additional remarks, which were not widely covered by state media, were shared through a transcript published by Sina Technology and various videos circulated by news outlets.

"The government has not stepped in to address this industry orientation, and I believe it has been negligent in its duty," Zhong said.

CNN has reached out to Nongfu Spring and Pinduoduo (PDD) for comment.

A Nation of Budget-Conscious Consumers

Zhong’s remarks echo growing concerns about the impact of shifting consumer behaviors and business practices in China. Platforms like Pinduoduo have thrived by appealing to penny-pinching consumers in an economy marked by slowing growth.

This isn’t the first time a prominent business leader has openly criticized the system. In November 2020, Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma publicly condemned China’s banks and financial regulators. The backlash was swift:

Ant Group, Alibaba’s financial affiliate, was forced to cancel its record-breaking $37 billion IPO, and Ma largely withdrew from public life as Beijing launched a sweeping crackdown on the tech industry.

Among the companies affected by this regulatory tightening was Pinduoduo. Founded in 2015 by Colin Huang, the e-commerce startup has rapidly grown into a major player, leveraging shifts in consumer habits in the world’s second-largest economy. It also shares ownership with Temu, another rising star in online retail.

Zhong’s criticisms highlight the tension between innovation-driven growth and the challenges of maintaining fair market practices in an increasingly competitive landscape.

As China’s economy slows and job opportunities diminish, consumers are tightening their belts, cutting back on everything from groceries to electronics and even cars.

To attract budget-conscious buyers, brands—including those catering to premium markets—have increasingly resorted to discounts and special offers. The ripple effects of this shift have been widespread.

Zhong Shanshan’s recent remarks come at the close of a challenging year for the billionaire. Earlier this year, he faced backlash from nationalist critics who accused him of lacking patriotism. The campaign significantly impacted his beverage company, Nongfu Spring, slashing its sales and driving down its stock value.

According to Bloomberg, this nationalist-driven controversy erased tens of billions from Nongfu’s market capitalization, and by August, it had cost Zhong his title as China’s richest person. He was overtaken by Colin Huang, the founder of Pinduoduo, who remains a major shareholder in the company.

However, Zhong has since reclaimed the top spot on China’s rich list, with an estimated net worth of $52.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Despite his financial recovery, his comments highlight the strains facing both businesses and consumers in China’s shifting economic landscape.
