中国富豪身家因行善“缩水”

飞雪寒冰

The ranks of the super rich in China continue to grow — there are a third more renminbi billionaires this year than last, according to today’s new China Rich List, from the Hurun Report — but philanthropy has slowly begun to thin the ranks as well, says Hurun.
中国超级富豪的队伍正在持续壮大——根据本周发布的最新《胡润百富》(Hurun Report)，今年与去年相比，资产超过10亿人民币的富豪数量增长了三分之一。但榜单显示，富豪们的行善之举正开始慢慢减少他们的身家。

Yu Pengnian, a property tycoon who ranked number 432 in last year’s list, fell off the chart altogether this year because he gave all of his money away. In April, the octogenarian Shenzhen real estate and hotel entrepreneur donated over $1bn to charity.
在去年的榜单上排名432的地产大亨余彭年，今年掉下了榜单，原因是他把钱都捐了出去。今年四月，这位深圳地产和酒店业的年逾八旬的企业家向慈善机构捐赠了超过10亿美元。

“This will be my last donation. I have nothing more to give away,” he said at the time. “It will all be for charity, no part of it will be inherited by anyone, no part will be used to do business or for investments,” he was quoted as saying in People’s Daily.
“这将是我最后一次捐赠。我已无它可捐了，”余彭年当时这样说，据《人民日报》报道。“全部用于慈善事业，不继承、不用于经营、不投资。”

Out of 1,363 renminbi billionaires on the list this year (up from 24 just ten years ago), there is a growing trend toward philanthropy, the Hurun Report says. “There is a trend of the Hurun Rich List to turn their ‘new money’ into ‘old money’, to be seen to be making their wealth more discerning, more sophisticated,” says Rupert Hoogewerf, publisher of the list. “Being a good corporate citizen is seen as key to succeed in this.”
《胡润百富》报告表示，在今年登上该榜的1363名资产超过10亿人民币的富豪中（仅仅10年前，只有24名这样的富豪），行善正成为一种趋势。“胡润富豪们有一种趋势，把‘新的钱’变成‘旧的钱’，他们希望人们觉得他们能更有眼力、更智慧地对待自己的财富，”榜单编撰者胡润(Rupert Hoogewerf)说。“做一个好的企业公民，被视作在这里成功的关键。”

Cao Dewang, at number 65, sold $550m worth of shares in his flagship Fuyao Glass to be in a better position to set up a philanthropic foundation, the report says, adding that China’s first generation of entrepreneurs have been quick to cough up to build schools in rural areas, and donate to disaster relief, most recently for the Qinghai Earthquake.
这一报告称，今年排名65的富豪曹德旺售出了在旗舰企业福耀玻璃价值5.5亿美元的股票，这帮助他设立了一个慈善基金。报告还说，中国第一代企业家很快就开始投身慈善，在农村地区修建学校、或为受灾地区捐赠——最近的一次是在青海地震之后。

It might take more to impress Warren Buffett and Bill Gates - who recently came on a mission to China, to teach the Chinese how to give — but it is a start. “Philanthropy is still a young sector in China,” says Hoogewerf. “Much of the corporate citizenship in China is not as visible as it might be in the West.”
也许中国富豪们还要做更多，才能让最近来到中国、教中国人如何行善的沃伦·巴菲特(Warren Buffett)和比尔·盖茨(Bill Gates)感到满意——但这已经是个很好的起点。“慈善在中国刚起步，”胡润说。“‘企业公民’意识在中国不像在西方那样看得见。”
