Zhejiang Tycoon Li Shuirong's Wealth Shrinks by Over 50 Billion: Rongsheng Holdings' Listed Companies Continue to Face Pressure
Significant Decline in Wealth of Zhejiang Business Giant
The recently released "2025 New Fortune 500 Rich List" shows that Li Shuirong, founder of Rongsheng Holdings Group, ranks 28th with a personal wealth of 82.6 billion yuan. Although this figure is still impressive, it has shrunk by 50.17 billion yuan compared to the peak wealth of 132.77 billion yuan in 2021, representing a decline of up to 37.79%. Notably, in just the past year alone, Li Shuirong’s wealth decreased from 89.04 billion yuan by another 6.44 billion yuan, showing a continuous downward trend.
Li Shuirong’s fortune primarily comes from his founding company, Rongsheng Holdings Group. Established in Xiaoshan District of Hangzhou City in 1989 and developed over more than thirty years into a comprehensive business empire spanning petrochemicals, polyester, real estate, logistics and venture capital sectors; currently under its umbrella are two listed companies—Rongsheng Petrochemical and Ningbo United—which serve as the main vehicles for Li Shuirong's wealth.
Dual Challenges for Market Value and Performance of Listed Companies
As of July 25th, 2025 market close data shows that Rongsheng Petrochemical has a market value of approximately ¥94.2 billion while Ningbo United stands at about ¥2.397 billion; however both companies have not performed well on stock prices either—Rongsheng Petrochemical’s current share price is ¥9.43 per share which represents a drop of around -68% from its historical high point at ¥29.79 (adjusted); similarly Ningbo United saw its shares cut down more than half from their peak price at ¥15.60 now trading at only ¥7.71 per share.
From financial reports perspective despite achieving revenue growth reaching ¥3264 .75billion , an increase YoY rate was only +0 .42%, net profit attributable fell sharply down -37 .44 %to mere¥7 .24billion indicating third consecutive year declines following previous years’ drops (-74 .76% & -65 .33%). The core business contribution breakdown reveals petrochemicals accounted for ~88% total revenues while polyester fiber segment contributed ~5-6%. Ningbo United performance appears even grimmer with three straight annual revenue decreases dropping dramatically between FY20(FY=Fiscal Year)at¥49 .14billion all way down towards FY23 recording merely¥17..63billion whilst net profits also halved within same timeframe decreasing substantially(from3 ..44bn=>1..06bn). A slight recovery observed during FY24 where sales slightly rose (+1..35%) but nonetheless profits plunged again(-23...56%) yielding just¥0 ...81 bn after attributing reasons mainly related poor margins stemming imports coal trade activities conducted through subsidiaries involved therein respectively.
