Without Hurun, there would be no Li Run.
As one critic said, "The essence of market activities is to transmit, collect, master, analyze and use information. The relationship between information and market is equivalent to the relationship between language and our daily life. " Now the world market urgently needs to form a common language of China's economy, and who can keep China's wealth and attention economy is only a derivative product in the process of forming this common language.
The lack of economic information in China has produced a huge wealth "turbine", which also makes China's economic ranking in a state of disputes among countries. Therefore, we can see the drama of self-employed Hurun vs veteran rich list trader Forbes. The development history of international gold digger Hurun coincides with the development stage of China's market economy.
Hurun's path reminds us of 19 Dow Jones in the 1980s. When the latter copied the latest Wall Street stock market on inferior paper for briefing and sent it to his 24 customers by courier, it was somewhat similar to Hurun who sold his list everywhere seven years ago. Dow Jones quickly succeeded because Wall Street needed accurate information. Regrettably, the most criticized thing about Hurun is its accuracy. Even Hurun himself has repeatedly said that the list is not accurate. So, is this inaccurate situation the cause of Hurun?
We can't trust Hurun, a self-employed person, but don't forget that this self-employed person wrote Chinese mainland's Forbes Rich List, and the rich list launched by Forbes last year also has a high degree of overlap with Hurun's list, which shows that the data samples and analysis modes of both sides are roughly the same. Will Forbes make fun of his golden signboard? The answer is obviously ulterior motives.
In fact, all rankings are faced with the question of whether the index system is comprehensive. For example, authoritative rankings such as Fortune 500 and the global international competitiveness rankings of the International School of Management in Lausanne, Switzerland, have all been questioned. In addition, Fortune and Forbes have different standards for Chinese mainland's wealth statistics.
Furthermore, the openness and authenticity of index data are the core elements to determine whether the list is accurate or not. The information sources collected by Hurun team mainly include media reports, stock market announcements, field interviews and information networks all over the country. The common problems faced by all the people on the list are that domestic information disclosure is not enough, listed companies are rampant in fraud, and the information of some unlisted companies is even more elusive. In this case, it is difficult to be accurate.
Without Hurun, there would be no Li Run.
