Those with a taste for schadenfreude will relish tales such as that of Mukesh Ambani. India's richest man has seen the value of his Reliance companies fall by $53bn this year. Larry Yung, son of former Chinese vice-president Rong Yiren and the original “red tycoon”, used to have $2.7bn worth of shares in Hong Kong-listed Citic Pacific. That was before the conglomerate's Aussie dollar derivatives blew up: as of Friday, Mr Yung's 19 per cent stake was worth a mere $300m-odd. Then there is paper queen Zhang Yin, who topped China's rich list in 2006. By September 1, she was down $8.6bn at $2.6bn; since then, the bulk of that has evaporated along with Nine Dragons Paper's share price.
那些喜歡幸災(zāi)樂禍的人會對諸如穆凱什?安巴尼(Mukesh Ambani)這樣的故事感興趣。這位印度首富期下Reliance系列公司的價值今年已縮水530億美元。榮智健(Larry Yung)系中國原國家副主席榮毅仁之子，最早的“紅籌大鱷”，過去持有香港上市公司中信泰富(Citic Pacific)價值27億美元的股票——那是在該集團(tuán)企業(yè)的澳元衍生品交易遭致失敗之前：截至上周五，榮智健所持19%股權(quán)的價值僅略多于3億美元。還有“紙業(yè)女王”張茵，她于2006年位居中國百富榜榜首。截至9月1日，張茵身家縮水86億美元，至26億美元；其后，隨著玖龍紙業(yè)(Nine Dragons Paper)股價下滑，其中大部分財富又再蒸發(fā)。
