[NTD News November 15, 2021, Beijing time]A few days ago, the mainland Internet reported that “Mr. Wang Jianlin, Chairman of Wanda Group has passed away.” On the 15th, the official website of Wanda Group refuted rumors, showing that Wang Jianlin attended the meeting that day. This matter triggered a heated discussion on the mainland Internet.
On the evening of November 14, the mainland Internet reported that “Mr. Wang Jianlin, Chairman of Wanda Group has passed away”, referring to Wang Jianlin’s death in Beijing at 4:54 pm on the 14th at the age of 67.
On the 15th, the “Today Toutiao” administrator issued an announcement stating that at 9:21 pm on the 14th, a Wei Toutiao user “Being in the Sea 2” fabricated the news of the death of a well-known business person. At 10:02 that night, the news was removed from the shelves. The platform permanently bans “Being in the Sea 2”.
According to many mainland media, this “well-known business person” refers to Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, who was reported online on the night of the 14th. At the same time, screenshots of netizens at the time showed that the news also pointed to Wang Jianlin.
Wanda quickly dispelled the rumors.
Many Lu media outlets including Southern Metropolis Daily and China News reported that Wanda responded that the news was purely a rumor and had already called the police.
NTD reporters discovered that Wanda Group’s official website posted a message on the 15th that Wang Jianlin was presiding over the Wanda Group’s innovation work promotion meeting that day. The picture attached to the news showed that only Wang Jianlin did not wear a mask at the meeting, and everyone else was wearing a mask.
The matter also triggered a heated discussion on the mainland Internet, and related information appeared on Weibo and Baidu hot search lists. “Wanda reports to the police on the rumors of Wang Jianlin’s death” topped the top search list on Weibo in mainland China.
Public information shows that the 67-year-old Wang Jianlin, formerly known as Wang Jianlin, was born in Mianyang, Sichuan. He is the founder and chairman of Dalian Wanda Group and was the former richest man in China.
“Chinese Entrepreneur” received confirmation from Wanda on October 19 this year that the listing of Wanda Commercial Management has been approved by the China Securities Regulatory Commission. The next step will be to submit formal IPO (initial public offering) materials to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
