I asked you to save a bankrupt factory and you became the richest man in the world.

Chapter 377 055-056: Gao Huaijun’s university speech!

A young man who is just 30 years old becomes a special guest at a charity event in Freeport. In the history of the Freeport Film Association, which has several decades of history, Gao Huaijun is a unique one.

Not to mention people from the mainland, there is not even a single one in the free port.

More importantly, this is Gao Huaijun's first visit to Freeport. It is even more unusual that the Freeport film circle, such a powerful circle, attaches so much importance to him.

What's even more frightening is that these Hong Kong artists were so enthusiastic about Gao Huaijun's arrival that as soon as Gao Huaijun walked into the venue, he was surrounded by crowds of people. Everyone wanted to say hello to Gao Huaijun and hope to get some attention.

Obviously, Gao Huaijun has never seen so many celebrities in this life and his previous life combined.

He has met many people including, but not limited to: Gu Tianle, Guo Fucheng, Liu Dehua, Cheng Long, etc.

The lineup for this charity gala was so impressive that he even doubted whether this was the Freeport Academy Awards ceremony.

"Hello Gao Sheng! Come down for a drink when you are free tonight!"

"Hello, Mr. Gao, I'm Li Ruotong, please take care of me."

"Mr. Gao, can we exchange business cards? I am Zeng Zhiwei."

The organizers were also a little overwhelmed. They have been organizing various activities for many years. Big shots like this have come before, but they have never seen these stars so excited. Today was really like seeing a ghost.

In fact, it’s not their fault.

For these big stars who seem high and mighty, they are the pride of the country. When they come to the mainland, they are greeted by huge crowds of people at the airport. They are very popular. The pride of this group of people is absolutely incomparable to ordinary people.

Even if it was Li Jiacheng, they might not look at him well.

Li Jiacheng is mainly engaged in real estate and some infrastructure investments, and does not have much interest in them. It is unrealistic to make them so fanatical and let such a group of stakeholders say this.

But Gao Huaijun is different.

This monster just invested 600 million in "The Wandering Earth".

And when I inquired about it, I found out that this was actually the actual investment amount, no gimmick!
If you can play a role in such a huge production, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort and give you a chance to become popular again?
These stars in Freeport all seem to be very popular in 2014, but in fact they are just in name only.

For example, the well-known Mr. Liu Dehua has never been able to sustain the box office, and the movies he made basically only grossed around 100 or 200 million yuan.

People like Wu Jing and Shen Teng in later generations, whose movies earn billions each, are the ones who can support the box office.

The box office appeal of this group of people in Freeport combined cannot compete with these two.

It is precisely because of this that this group of stars are more eager to catch the ride on Hillhouse Entertainment's "The Wandering Earth" to the road to success.

In addition, Gao Huaijun has a background in product development and every product he makes becomes a hit, so they are naturally looking forward to the upcoming casting of "The Wandering Earth" even more eagerly.

In a movie like this that is expected to be a big hit, even if she plays the third female role, the weight of the role is beyond reproach.

Therefore, needless to say, when Gao Huaijun arrived at Freeport, their enthusiasm was overwhelming.

And now, not only these actors, but also many big-name Freeport directors have come here.

For example, Hillhouse’s old friends Stephen Chow, Peter Chan, John Woo, etc.

This scene is so complete that even the Academy Awards in Freeport have never been so complete.

Hong Zuxing, who was standing by, nervously greeted the guests present and helped Gao Huaijun get to know the group of film and television bigwigs in front of him.

Otherwise, if he neglects both parties, he will be in trouble.

After finally finishing a round, Gao Huaijun sat down in the front row. Zhou Xingxing, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile, "It seems that this is Mr. Gao's first time in Freeport. He may not be very familiar with Freeport."

Gao Huaijun smiled slightly and nodded.

He often came to Freeport in his previous life, but that was basically where the common people lived. It had nothing to do with these big guys. It was like they were in a completely different world.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this is my first time in Freeport.

"I heard that Mr. Gao wanted to make a science fiction film recently, "The Wandering Earth", which has become popular in the industry before it was aired in Freeport. Why does Mr. Gao want to make such a work?" Then Zhou Xingxing looked at him curiously and chatted.

Fa Ge and others standing by also pricked up their ears and concentrated, hoping to hear something.

Gao Huaijun still underestimated Hillhouse's size advantage.

Six hundred million is just a drizzle for Hillhouse Capital, but for the film industry which is only worth a few hundred billion yuan, Hillhouse Capital is a big catfish.

Who knows if Hillhouse Capital is not just playing around and continues to invest in the film industry? This kind of financial sponsor can definitely be comparable to the top five film production companies in the United States.

“As you know, Hillhouse is a technology company.”

"In the eyes of foreigners, China is poor, backward, and lacks its own technological strength."

"This is fatal for a company like Hillhouse that is committed to global operations."

"To restore this impression, Hillhouse needs to continue to invest overseas for a long time to have a chance to reverse it."

“That was the night when I suddenly thought of Hollywood!”

"Since Hollywood can invest in big productions to promote America's soft power and values, why can't I do it?"

"For me, it is not difficult to spend money on a big production of the United States. If I can change the image of China and Hillhouse in foreign countries, then I can definitely kill two birds with one stone. Not only can I get a good return on the movie, but I can also achieve a win-win situation in brand promotion."

This was the first time that Gao Huaijun told the outsiders present his thoughts.

Guo Fan, who was standing by, was excited when he heard this.

The sci-fi and high-CG film routes that Gao Huaijun wants to take are completely consistent with the movies he wants to shoot.

This is a major event that will bring pride to the Chinese film industry!

But he is under a lot of pressure now.

This first movie has an investment of 20 million yuan. To recover the cost, it will take at least billion yuan.

What is this change?
You have to be the annual box office champion to be qualified to achieve this result!

And the other side.

The directors and actors in the free port were even more excited.

It seems that Gao Huaijun is going to invest in some big-budget, large-scale movies for a long time.

This is a rare event for a small circle like the Chinese film industry, which has long been surrounded by small investments.

In the current Chinese film industry, most people are thinking about making a big profit with a small investment.

With an investment of less than 30 million, they wanted to rely on feature films to make hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars at the box office, such as the later "Her" and so on.

There are not many companies like Hillhouse that dare to venture into large-scale industrial films.

After the long charity gala was over, Gao Huaijun bid for an item worth about 100 million yuan on the spot.

He arrived at Freeport University the next day to give a speech. This was also the itinerary that the Freeport government wanted to add after hearing that Gao Huaijun was going to Freeport.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Huaijun agreed.

After all, there is a high probability that Hillhouse will remain in the Freeport for listing, so it is a good idea to create momentum in advance.

But what he never expected was that he originally thought it was a relaxing little meeting place.

Just have a simple exchange with the hundred or so people in the audience, then just make a few jokes and give some chicken soup and that's it.

He never expected that he underestimated his influence.

The organizers will reserve the largest lecture hall at Freeport University, the T1 lecture hall in the Minghua Complex, for Gao Huaijun.

What I didn't even expect was.

The T1000 lecture hall of the Minghua Complex, which could only accommodate about 1 people, was suddenly packed with about 3000 students!

It can be said that almost all the students from Freeport University came.

Moreover, many students from nearby universities, such as Freeport Polytechnic University, Freeport Chinese University, Freeport University of Science and Technology, etc., come here because of its reputation.

They all wanted to see Gao Huaijun, who was about the same age as them and had risen like a meteor in the past decade.

What kind of god is he?

There were so many people at the scene that the president of Freeport University was scared to death. He even called the government and asked them to send hundreds of armed police officers to put everyone on alert.

Two ambulances were also called over temporarily.

Thousands of people filled the aisle, one person against another.

If anything goes wrong, he really can't live like this.

The scattered reporters present at the scene had not expected that what was originally just a simple news speech invited by Hillhouse Group would turn into such a large scale.

They were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. It was indescribable how excited they were.

Even the reporter from Phoenix TV who was nearby specially called for a special filming reporter to come over and prepare to record the entire process.

Gao Huaijun couldn't help but feel overwhelmed when he saw the scene in front of him.

We agreed to keep a low profile and come here just to discuss business.

How did this suddenly become a recorded speech?

It’s hard to resist!

It’s really hard to bear!
Before the speech began, the first person to come on stage was the president of Freeport University. He served as the warm-up guest before Gao Huaijun came on stage. During the few minutes he was on stage, he praised Gao Huaijun a lot.

He compared Gao Huaijun to the most famous young man in the world, who could be ranked alongside the two founders of Google and Facebook.

At the same time, he also described Gao Huaijun as a role model for young people around the world.

In the field of electronic technology and the automotive industry, he has a unique sense of smell and talent that is different from ordinary people.

Most importantly, he almost single-handedly brought Hillhouse to the top 500 in the world and provided tens of thousands of high-paying jobs.

And a considerable number of students at Freeport University also work here.

This is definitely of great significance to society.

His generous praise of Gao Huaijun successfully paved the way and warmed up for Gao Huaijun's subsequent appearance.

When he announced, "Next, please give a warm round of applause to welcome Gao Huaijun, Chairman of Hillhouse Group and important investor, and the most outstanding young person on Blue Planet to come on stage to give a speech." At this time, thousands of young people in the audience responded with warm applause.

Gao Huaijun is almost a legend of this era.

Almost all the young people in the audience, especially those who came from the mainland to study, know the story of his Gaoling Electric Fan Factory.

Li Yinxin ties Gao Huaijun's tie backstage.

Then, accompanied by passionate music, Gao Huaijun strode out of the lounge and walked onto the podium.

He was wearing a white shirt and a black suit, giving off a capable and cool vibe.

Especially when he wears frameless gold-rimmed glasses, he has a serious and sexy buff. And it's not just physical sexiness. Because of the bookish air of the gold-rimmed glasses, this combination also has a bit of intellectual love meaning, and he directly transforms into a cold and abstinent male god.

"Wow!!!"

“So handsome!!!”

"Oh my God!!!"

The girls in the audience couldn't help but scream when they saw Gao Huaijun coming up and gently adjusting his glasses.

Mature men often have many aspects of charm for women.

A man like Gao Huaijun, who has both good looks and wealth, and who dresses up carefully, is definitely a temptation that an ordinary girl cannot resist.

Tang Ying, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but shout in her heart, "Please weld these gold-rimmed glasses onto Gao Huaijun's face, please?"
It’s really manly!
Like a star, Gao Huaijun walked to the center of the podium with the microphone in his hand and bowed slightly.

There was a burst of warm cheers from the audience.

At the same time, a large number of reporters stationed in Freeport gathered in the audience, and even some foreign reporters came!
Gao Huaijun smiled and said, "I heard that many students from other universities have come here. I welcome you here as well."

“I am very honored to have the opportunity to come here and have face-to-face exchanges with students from all over the world.”

"As for me, I come from a beautiful coastal city, Tin City."

"I was born here, grew up here, and finally took over the Gaoling Electric Fan Factory reluctantly, starting my own entrepreneurial story."

"I am here to share with you my life experiences and life experiences."

"In 2000, I was admitted to Jiankang University of Finance and Economics, majoring in business administration."

“My academic performance may not be as good as those of you here, but I have the opportunity to study at a prestigious university like Freeport University.”

Gao Huaijun started with a little joke.

The audience couldn't help but laugh.

Although Gao Huaijun’s study is a weakness, it does not prevent him from managing so many highly educated college students!

Not to mention the graduates from Freeport University, it is said that within Hillhouse, there are a lot of graduates from famous universities such as MIT, CIT, and Stanford.

This can be said to be a small counterattack!

"I also saw a book called "Fire of Silicon Valley" in the library by chance. It was this book that established my lifelong dream..."
