摘　　要：显而易见，神灵对汕头情有独钟。中国南方这片一度贫困的地区不仅是亚洲首富、香港大亨李嘉诚的出生地，而且就在前不久还诞生了中国大陆首富之一、国美电器零售公司的创始人黄光裕。根据一位名叫胡润的英国记者所编撰的中国富豪排行榜，黄光裕目前身价高达17亿美元，这足以使他连续两年雄踞排行榜首。虽然这远远不及李嘉诚先生的130亿美元，但是黄光裕才36岁，与李嘉诚相比要年轻得多，而且他发财的地方是社会主义中国，不是资本主义香港。The gods clearly smile on Shantou. This once poor district in southern China is the birthplace not just of Asia＇s richest man, Li Ka-shing, a Hong Kong tycoon, but also more, recently of one of China's Mainland＇s richest men, Wong Kwong Yu, founder of Gome, an electrical-appliance retailer. According to a Chinese ＂rich list＂ compiled by Rupert Hoogewerf, a British journalist, Mr Wong is now worth $1.7 billion -- enough to put him at the top of the list for two years running. This is still far short of Mr Li＇s $13 billion; but then Mr Wong, at just 36, is younger and made his fortune in socialist China, not capitalist Hong Kong. Yet the remarkable nature of his achievement, like the wealth itself, has brought Mr Wong scarce comfort. True, his office is presidential, complete with a stately desk and even a bedroom （he says he often works overnight）. With his brother, he owns the skyscraper Eagle Plaza in north Beijing that houses it. He is driven around in a stretch Mercedes too, although only because friends advised it would be handy for meetings on the move.
