#51 famous person

So the famous person that I wish I could become is Jiacheng Li, for anyone who does not know him, I will give a brief introduction about him. He is considered to be the richest person in East Asia and the fourteenth richest person in the world with about US$21.3 billion. He owed several companies and had made billions and billions of money. A Harvard Business School article summarizes Li's career in the following way:
From his humble beginnings in China as a teacher’s son, a refugee, and later as a salesman, Li provides a lesson in integrity and adaptability. Through hard work, and a reputation for remaining true to his internal moral compass, he was able to build a business empire that includes: banking, construction, real estate, plastics, cellular phones, satellite television, cement production, retail outlets (pharmacies and supermarkets), hotels, domestic transportation (sky train), airports, electric power, steel production, ports, and shipping.
I wish I were him because he is very successful in the business world and he is the head of many companies that owns a large property. I admire him and even regard him as my role model not only because he is the richest person in China, but he also has a really strong will power and smart brain. His success depends on his daring actions and his unique opinion. I wish I could be as smart as he is when dealing with business problems. Sometimes the most difficult part is when someone did not know the opportunity is coming.
