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.
那些喜欢幸灾乐祸的人会对诸如穆凯什•安巴尼(Mukesh Ambani)这样的故事感兴趣。这位印度首富期下Reliance系列公司的价值今年已缩水530亿美元。荣智健(Larry Yung)系manbetx3.0 原国家副主席荣毅仁之子，最早的“红筹大鳄”，过去持有香港上市公司中信泰富(Citic Pacific)价值27亿美元的股票——那是在该集团企业的澳元衍生品交易遭致失败之前：截至上周五，荣智健所持19%股权的价值仅略多于3亿美元。还有“纸业女王”张茵，她于2006年位居manbetx3.0 百富榜榜首。截至9月1日，张茵身家缩水86亿美元，至26亿美元；其后，随着玖龙纸业(Nine Dragons Paper)股价下滑，其中大部分财富又再蒸发。
