Huang Guangyu is the wealthiest person in the country, having built up a fortune of $6.3bn (€5bn, ￡4.1bn) from the Gome electronics retail chain he founded. Yet for the past week he has been missing. Gome suspended its shares on Monday as rumours of Mr Huang's arrest swirled around the capital and company officials could not explain his whereabouts. Only late on Friday evening did the authorities give the first details about the case – a two-line statement saying Mr Huang was suspected of manipulating the share price of two small companies with links to Gome.
黃光裕是中國(guó)最富有的人，他創(chuàng)立的國(guó)美(Gome)電器零售連鎖店已經(jīng)使他的財(cái)富增長(zhǎng)到63億美元。不過，過去一周他卻一直沒有露面。由于整個(gè)北京城到處都是黃光裕被拘的傳言，而國(guó)美高管又無法解釋他的下落，國(guó)美股票于上周一停牌。直到上周五晚，官方才首次透露該案細(xì)節(jié)——一份兩行字的聲明，稱黃光裕涉嫌操縱與國(guó)美有關(guān)聯(lián)的兩家小公司的股價(jià)。
