After leaving office, Cai Chongxin has not been idle, but has more time and energy to look for investment opportunities.
From August 2065438 to August 2009, the real-time data of Cai Chongxin's personal net worth was $9.9 billion, and at that time it ranked 147 in the global billionaires list.

How did Wilber Pan become a minority shareholder of the Nets? Compared with Cai Chongxin, Wilber Pan entered the Nets earlier, and bought 0.067% of the Nets at 20 13.
Today, Wilber Pan is developing in the entertainment circle, but when he was young, he was actually a basketball player.
Wilber Pan grew up in the United States. He scored a record 54 points in a single game in high school and participated in the NCAA league in college.
But later, because of a knee injury, he did not continue to develop in basketball, but turned to the entertainment circle and became a singer. But it is undeniable that Wilber Pan has always been keen on basketball.
In 20 13, American rapper Jayz (Beyonce's husband) was a minority shareholder in the Nets, but he also started a sports brokerage company. According to NBA regulations, no one can have the dual identity of team owner and team agent. Helpless, Jayz can only sell his own shares in the Nets.
When Wilber Pan learned this, he thought it was an opportunity, so he contacted Jayz through a friend. After negotiation, he successfully bought 0.067% of the shares of the Nets from Jayz and became one of the minority shareholders of the Nets.
The market value of the Nets soared. What is the value of 0.067% of the shares of Nets acquired by Wilber Pan seven years ago? In the latest market value of NBA teams announced last month, the veteran team new york Knicks ranked first in the league with a market value of US$ 5.42 billion, followed by Warriors with US$ 5.2/kloc-0.00 billion, Lakers with US$ 5/kloc-0.40 billion, Nets with US$ 3.4 billion and Celtics with US$ 3/kloc-0.80 billion.
You know, when Cai Chongxin bought the Nets on 20 19, the market value was only $2.35 billion. In less than two years, the market value of the Nets soared by $654.38 +0.05 billion, becoming the fastest growing team.
So, what is the market value of Wilber Pan who spent $350,000 to buy 0.067% of the Nets? $3.4 billion * 0.067% = $2.278 million, an increase of more than 6.5 times!
But compared with the minority shareholder Wilber Pan, the team owner Cai Chongxin is undoubtedly the biggest winner.
Written at the end: 2.278 million dollars is only the current valuation, and it is expected that the market value of the Nets will skyrocket. Today, the Nets have formed a lineup of Durant+Owen+Harden, and they are officially heading for the season championship.
Undeniably, with the appeal and fan base of the Big Three, the future market value of the Nets still has a lot of room to rise, and the valuations of all shareholders including Wilber Pan and the team's minority shareholder and boss Cai Chongxin will also skyrocket.
If Cai Chongxin's access to the Internet is due to his unique insights as a professional investor, it is really rare for Wilber Pan as an entertainment person to have such an investment vision, which is really a skill.
