Hi guys, it's Linh.

Welcome back to vietnamespod101.com.

The fastest, easiest and most fun way to learn Vietnamese.

We've had videos about 10 companies in Vietnam or 10 universities in Vietnam

and today I'm going to introduce to you the top 5 businessmen in Vietnam.

The reason why that I want to introduce to you is because they are very famous

and they contribute a lot to the development of Vietnam.

So let's see who they are.

Number one, we must talk about Phạm Nhật Vượng.

Phạm Nhật Vượng, the founder and chairman of the Giant Bean Group.

Phạm Nhật Vượng is Vietnam's first and richest billionaire.

Forbes named him as Vietnam's first billionaire with a net worth of 1.5 billion dollars.

His current net worth, according to Forbes, is a whopping of 4.2 billion US dollars.

This year, Bean Group's intention is to sell phones in Europe and cars in the US.

It can be said that Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng has been bringing Vietnam to all five continents

and creating great pride for all Vietnamese people.

Also, it can be seen that Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng is one of the most successful businessmen

in Vietnam at the moment.

Entering 2020, Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng has taken Bean Group

out of the traditional retail industry step by step.

He also advocates investing in high-tech agriculture

or high-tech industry and high-class tourism, promising to gradually improve the living

standards of Vietnamese people and the image of Vietnam in the international market.

VINFAST electric motorbikes or VINFAST cars or VINFAST phones are having a solid foothold

in the domestic market and are highly appreciated by foreign technology enthusiasts.

That is one of the most profound proofs of what Mr. Phạm Nhật Vượng and Bean Group are doing.

Now the second one, let's talk about Mr. Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ.

Have you heard about Trung Nguyên Coffee Vietnam?

So Mr. Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ is the founder of Trung Nguyên Vietnam.

And in his 20-year career, despite many difficulties in the fields of retail,

tourism and real estate, with his belief and strong will,

Mr. Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ always wishes to globalize Trung Nguyên

and contribute to the national strategy for a stronger Vietnam.

Just recently, Mr. Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ has received the most attention from the public

with the event of the cancellation of the legal representation right

at Trung Nguyên Coffee instead of Mrs. Lê Hoàng Diệp Thảo, who is his wife.

This event caused skepticism for the next development path of this world-famous brand.

After the historic and costly divorce, Mr. Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ regained control of the company

and gradually brought Trung Nguyên back to its position again as the king of the Vietnamese

coffee industry. So currently, after many ups and downs, Trung Nguyên is not only a company

selling packaged coffee but also has an ecosystem of many cafes occupying expensive positions in

many areas in Vietnam. It can be said that Mr. Đặng Lê Nguyên Vũ is one of the businessmen

with a different way of thinking but is very respected by young people among Vietnamese

businessmen today. Next one, let's talk about Ms. Mai Kiều Liên.

Ms. Mai Kiều Liên was born in 1953 in Paris, graduated as an engineer in diary processing

technology in Russia in 1976 with a desire to create something for the young generation,

the future generation of Vietnam. She embarked on market research and found that milk is a very

good source of nutrients for babies' development. Since then, she has worked hard and devotedly to

bring Vinamilk from nothing to become one of the most successful companies in Vietnam today.

So now you know she is the owner and founder of Vinamilk. Vinamilk's solid position today is

largely due to the contribution of Ms. Mai Kiều Liên. She is the one who makes timely decisions

such as investing in raw material areas early, restructuring the company and setting the goal

of bringing Vinamilk into the top 50 largest diary producers in the world in the next five years with

3 billion dollars in revenue. On this point, Forbes also commented that Ms. Liên has built

Vinamilk not only to become one of the prestigious brands of Vietnam but also to be respected and

appreciated throughout Asia and the world. In an interview with BBC, Ms. Liên expressed her ambition

that Vinamilk will become a multinational corporation and will have large farms to be

self-sufficient in raw materials from domestic counts, reducing the import of foreign materials.

It can be said that at present, Vinamilk is a leading giant in milk not only in Vietnam but

also in Asia. Next one, let's talk about Ms. Nguyễn Thị Phương Thảo. Have you heard about Vietjet?

Ms. Nguyễn Thị Phương Thảo was born in 1970, is currently the general director of Vietjet,

one of the biggest Vietnam airlines. With her young age, she soon succeeded in her work,

owning a huge amount of property that many people dream of. Not only that, she's also one of the

10 most successful businesswomen by Forbes Vietnam. In 2020, Ms. Nguyễn Thị Phương Thảo is included

in the 100 Asian Economic Changers. This businesswoman with a small stature constantly

appears in the nominations for businesses and development in the region voted by major newspapers

in the world. She has become one of the model businesswomen of young people and up to now,

Vietjet has captured more than 40 percent of the domestic market share and continuously growing

rapidly in profits. Many people who have come in contact with her say that Ms. Thảo is not

a mere business model but more like a warrior woman. Her staff also said that the general manager's

office is lighted until 2 or 3 a.m every day, including holidays, which is very normal. And

those who have come into contact with her have a very special impression of this woman. This explains

why she is very successful, right? Now let's talk about Mr. Jonathan Hạch Nguyễn.

Reviving Trăng Tiên Commercial Center, which is Trăng Tiên Plaza, turning it into the most

luxurious shopping place in Vietnam in the context of the economic crisis in 2020,

is considered a very, very risky decision of Mr. Jonathan Hạch Nguyễn. However, the chairman

and general director of IMX Pan Pacific Group, IPP, who is called the king of Vietnamese brands,

shared, I'm not playing foolish, reckless or indecisive. He once said that this is not simply

a commercial center but also the lifelong aspiration of an expatriated son. Only his

statement shows how patriotic he is, right? And especially among 112 super luxury stores at

Trăng Tiên Plaza, Mr. Jonathan Hạch Nguyễn owns 20 booths already, rumored to own a fortune

worth hundreds of millions, even billions of dollars, with the image of a super luxury

mansion in Vietnam. But the IPP chairman Jonathan Hạch Nguyễn has never announced his fortune.

The official statistics on the assets of Jonathan Hạch Nguyễn have also never appeared. However,

in the Vietnamese business world, he is an illustrious name both in terms of assets and

business scale. In 2020, he is one of the leaders with large investments in industrial parks,

export processing zones and, most especially, the re-operation of Văn Phong Lodge Seaport to help

promote the domestic export industry. This is the project of the National General Port, the largest

international trans shipments in Vietnam. That's it for today. A lot of information, right? But I

really want to introduce to you the biggest business woman or businessman in Vietnam who

have helped Vietnam to become a better country, a bigger and stronger country. And they have

contributed a lot into the development of our country. I hope you enjoyed it. I hope it helps.
