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

Chapter 396 093-094: The shock of the masses! (5000 words)
Said in this report.

Hillhouse Group has always been a company that is highly sought after by capital.

Even in order to broaden Hillhouse Technology's journey to the listing stage and safeguard the listing rights of Hillhouse Technology's shareholders, the newly revised "Listing Rules" of the free port listing system agree that companies like Hillhouse Technology, which have virtual shares and virtual unions, can still be listed with "same shares, different voting rights"!
This in itself is a sign of the Freeport stock market's love for it.

After learning that Hillhouse Technology's sales in 2014 increased from 2013 billion yuan in 650 to 1150 billion yuan, the next day, Hillhouse Technology's stock, which had been rising slightly for two months, experienced a terrifying upward stretch.

The stock price also rose by an exaggerated 62% from the previous day's share price of HK$25 to HK$78, and the overall market value reached an astonishing HK$1.6 trillion!

But Hillhouse’s miracle does not end there.

Hillhouse Group is also the first non-resource-based private enterprise to enter mainland China and become one of the world's top 500 companies.

This is also the era in which a young man in his early thirties created the myth of a technological era!

Another professional financial media, "21st Century Business Herald", also used the title "Hillhouse Group - Gao Huaijun's Industrial Empire" and in the front-page headline, focused on the development history of this technology giant headquartered in Xicheng City, Jiangsu Province, praising Gao Huaijun for having created a new era in both electronic technology and the automotive industry.

Almost overnight, it seemed as if they had a tacit understanding.

Most of the regular media, especially the financial and Zheng Zhi-type media, are reporting on Hillhouse Group's financial report, which looks ordinary but is extremely unusual in their opinion.

They re-examined Gao Huaijun's development history.

I have discovered that Hillhouse’s growth trajectory can no longer be described as a miracle.

But there is another word - monster!
Only a monster could trample on every step of development in eleven years, which is completely consistent with China's growth.

terror!
so horrible!

Soon, the news from these media was rarely transferred from offline to online.

Almost immediately, I saw the news that Hillhouse Capital would be listed on the Forbes Global 500 on the hot search list on Weibo.

This news shocked all the Weibo viewers who saw it.

How long has Hillhouse Capital been established?
In just ten years, it has become one of the Fortune 500 companies?

No matter how daring a boaster someone is, he wouldn’t dare to brag like this!

Soon, the news titled #Hillhouse's annual sales exceeded 2000 billion yuan and is about to become one of the world's top companies# quickly rose from tenth place to seventh place on the hot search list, and then from seventh place to third place.

Finally, in the evening, it rose to the first place!
When this news item rose to the first place, the popularity of this news had reached more than 600 million reads, 50 forwards, and more than 7 comments.

exploded!

It exploded directly!

The core reason for this explosion is that Hillhouse is the first Chinese private technology enterprise to be listed in the Fortune Global 500 in history, representing the rise of Chinese private enterprises.

In the eyes of many people, this is definitely a major event of symbolic significance.

How could someone with a sense of family and country not be excited?
therefore.

The comment section is packed with people discussing how Hillhouse Group rose to prominence and what makes it different from other companies.

"This performance growth rate is really amazing! It increased by more than 50% in one year, nearly doubling... and it is a company with a scale of 2000 billion yuan, it is incredible."

"Indeed, if it continues to grow like this, it will become the number one company in the universe in a few years!"

"That's impossible. The growth now is only because their products were undervalued in the past. Now they are just revaluing their products. It's a compensatory increase."

"It's not their sales that are scary, it's their employees. Now their R&D staff totals over 20,000 people... What does 20,000 people mean? The number of companies in China with more than 20,000 R&D staff can be counted on one's fingers."

"Hillhouse's R&D investment growth has exceeded expectations for many consecutive times. I'm a little numb. Due to well-known reasons, the domestic business environment was not good in 2014 due to the impact of the European debt crisis, but they increased their marketing expenses by 2013% compared to 30. No company in China dares to do this."

"I used to work in the mobile phone product business in Shanghai, and I was in the supply chain, and I had a partnership with Hillhouse Capital. When I first started working with them, if you said you didn't know how to do it, they would scold you over the Internet, and then they would throw a document or solution at you and let you study it yourself. It took me three years to adapt to their pace, and it was really torture, but I also learned a lot. I couldn't stand the constant high pressure and finally resigned. When I resigned, I actually received a call from the Hillhouse project team, saying that it was a pity that I left, and if I was willing to continue working on the mobile phone supply chain project, they would recommend a leading partner to me to continue working with them. It roughly meant that after three years of running-in, the connection was getting smoother and smoother. Hillhouse's current supply chain partners are all leading companies, and it is not easy to cultivate a partner now (pressure resistance and efficient operation ability)."

"For the big guys, it is more cost-effective to spend time teaching others than to study the problem with someone of the same level. If the other person understands it immediately, the big guys may give some pointers. If the big guys find that they have to teach step by step, they really have no patience."

"I don't know about other groups, I used to work at Hillhouse, and the chats at Hillhouse are actually very similar to those at top research schools in the United States. If you go to make a report and there are any mistakes or deficiencies, others will point them out. If you are asked a related question and you say you haven't heard of it, it will be embarrassing. Most people will go back and quickly make up for the relevant knowledge. I don't know if this is called a roll, but top researchers are very accustomed to this model. Continuous learning creates the soil for innovation. I guess this is why Hillhouse is so awesome."

"I work in Area A of Hillhouse Research and Development Center in Shanghai. I am very happy to see that you like Hillhouse. If you take the train, you will probably pass by my window. However, the relaxed ivory tower-like scientific research environment is still for a small number of people. Basically, they are PhDs doing preliminary research. The vast majority of people are just screws after they come in. They just mechanically do whatever tasks are assigned to them. There is no need to over-glorify Hillhouse."

"Hillhouse is planning to make its employee base look like a university, which really caught my eye. I have never thought about what it would be like if a company had a "university" base full of research talents."

“You can choose not to buy Hillhouse’s products, or not to support Hillhouse, but China must take this path!”

"Gao Ling is looking for a path, a path we should take, the road is muddy and rugged. With this path, the future will be easier. Come on, Gao Ling!"

“I’m going to start work in July, go for it!”

"I'm so envious. Hillhouse's salaries must be very high now!"

"It's OK. The salary of Hillhouse's R&D staff has increased significantly this year. The monthly salary of new employees can reach about 1.2 yuan. The company promises to increase it to about 2 yuan after the third year. This does not include bonuses and big performance. People are very competitive now."

"What the hell! About 2? Third year? Doesn't include bonuses and performance bonuses? What kind of company is this!"

"I make less than 2000 yuan a month..."

"It's probably done by some people with connections. In this day and age, all good things are monopolized by people with connections."

"What do you mean by connections? Others' recruitment conditions are clearly displayed online. Do you think they are all like you, lying in bed every day and only dreaming? Others recruit students from 985 and 211 universities, right?"

. . . . . .

While many netizens were concerned and shocked by the rapid growth of Hillhouse Group.

At the same time, in an office of Fengtian Automobile.

Fengtian's boss, Fengtian Zhangnan, was sitting in front of the projection screen, listening with an expressionless face as the person in charge of Fengtian's Chinese region, with sweat on his forehead, gave a summary of Fengtian Auto's Chinese region sales in 2013.

"According to the latest statistics, Fengtian Automobile sold 2013 vehicles in China in 91.75, a slight decrease of 5%."

"The price of a bicycle was 18.7 yuan, a slight decrease of 10%."

"Toyota Motor has set its sales target for 2014 at 110 million units or more, and will step up sales of small cars such as the recently launched Yaris."

"At the same time, we will strengthen our key guidance for the Chinese market and provide rebates to 4S stores..."

Feng Tianzhangnan was cheerful at first.

Among the overall sales of Fengtian Automobile, Fengtian Group (including Fengtian, Daihatsu and Hino) had global sales of 2014 million vehicles in 998, a year-on-year increase of 2%.

At the same time, Fengtian Group's global sales target for 2015 is 1032 million vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 4%.

At this great moment when the sales volume has exceeded 100 billion, Fengtianhua’s three major sales areas (China, the island country, and North America), you actually told me that the total sales volume in the China region has actually decreased.

Not only did the price drop, but the price of a single car actually fell.

What do these mean?
Not only can your Feng Tianhua National District not offer a premium, but even after lowering prices, sales still can't be increased?

You, the new president of the China region, are doing a very unsatisfactory job!

You should know that the official guide price of the 2013 Camry in China is around 17.98 yuan.

But I had to take delivery of the car in 2013.

Hey!

If you don't raise the price by tens of thousands of dollars, then you just wait.

In this way, not only the car manufacturers will make a lot of money, but even the 4S stores and after-sales service will make a lot of money.

And now, you tell me this news?

Camry and other models can no longer be increased in price? This information seems insignificant, but the total sales volume has dropped slightly by 5%, and the sales volume of individual models has dropped slightly by 10%.

However, the information it contains is quite rich.

This means that Fengtian Automobile’s products are becoming less competitive in China!
Hearing this, Feng Tian Zhangnan interrupted the president of Feng Tian Group's China region and said, "Nitta-kun, wait a minute!"

The executives present all trembled slightly and looked at Feng Tianzhangnan in surprise.

Generally speaking, at this kind of annual summary meeting, Feng Tianzhangnan would not interrupt others.

"You said that Fengtian Automobile's total sales in China fell slightly by 5%, and the sales of individual models fell slightly by 10%. What caused this?"

"Our products have no dominance in China now?"

Feng Tianzhangnan asked curiously.

Fengtian Automobile, let alone compared with the big and medium-sized automobiles in the north and south, but compared with several Japanese younger brothers, as well as French, American and other products, it still has a great advantage in China.

Basically, it occupies a first-class mid-range position.

So he wanted to understand what was going on.

"In the Chinese market, due to our misjudgment, we remained indifferent to the sales of Hillhouse's A-level and A0-level models, Hillhouse Song and Hillhouse Dolphin, and continued to sell Corolla and Camry and other products at a higher price as before."

"After investing a lot of resources to promote the new Corolla and Camry, the sales of these two core products of Fengtian are still at a stalemate."

“The sales share that should have been obtained has not been effectively increased.”

"Instead, Hillhouse Capital, a new car company, profited greatly."

"Now their A0-level Hillhouse Dolphin has sold 35 vehicles."

"The sales of A-class cars, Gaoling Song, have reached 23 units, which puts us in a very passive position."

"After we reacted, it was already too late. We were forced to cut prices, which only slightly slowed down the decline in sales."

After saying this, the president of Fengtian Automobile's China region, Nobuyuki Nitta, wiped the sweat from his forehead, bowed 90 degrees and apologized to Fengtian Akio.

The executives from other regions present were shocked that there was an automobile company in China that could affect the sales of Fengtian Automobile in China, but they could not help but gloat over the misfortune.

Let’s see if you, Xin Tianxin, still dare to play like this?
Where has the enthusiasm for waving money and mediating in China gone?
You know, in the Fengtian system, the president of the China region is a very lucrative job.

The mere right to pick up goods and the flexible price in their hands are enough to allow the channel dealers below to take advantage of the situation.

It can definitely be considered as eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks.

I never thought...

There is actually a Xintian today!

Not only did he lose money on his initial investment, but now he seemed to be punished by the president.

And it seems that sales cannot be stopped.

However, when they thought about it carefully, they couldn't help but feel horrified.

A Chinese company could actually mess up a business as big as Fengtian Automobile. How strong must the product power of the car models it produces be to attract so many customers!

Seeing Nitta Nobuko standing there with his head bowed, Feng Tianzhang finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Mr. Nitta, what are you doing!"

"Such a big thing, why don't you report it to me directly?"

"Didn't you tell me during our daily conversations that the sales in China were all normal?"

"Why did such a big mistake happen when I suddenly asked today?"

At this time, Arata Nobuyuki no longer had the calmness he had just now.

He originally thought that he was done with just bowing.

In this world, when companies from island countries do something wrong, isn't it all over with just a bow?
What a big deal!

This brings us to the island country's bowing culture.

The island people are polite on the surface.

This is actually a deliberate cover-up.

The creed of this nation has never been the benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness advocated by a great and ancient country like China.

The creed they believe in is the speculative nature of an island nation's minority bandits.

It all comes down to this logic: as long as I succeed in doing bad things, it is not a bad thing.

Under this logic, any concealment, lying, plundering, and even massacre is permitted.

If the low-alloy carbon structural steel plates from the island country Sumitomo used in the Three Gorges Dam can be faked, what else can't be faked and concealed?
People from all walks of life in this island country are used to falsifying information!

Isn’t it just that sales in China are not going smoothly right now?
Idiot!
Now, when Nitta Nobuyuki heard that Feng Tianzhang was so angry, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Just keep bowing there.

At this time, Feng Tianzhang looked at Nitta Nobuyuki with a frown.

He had long since had enough of this 'colleague' of his!

This person was entrusted by Minamoto no Yoritomo, a family head of the Kyushu (Kyushu refers to officials of the rank of five or above who serve the emperor and the court and live in the capital area, and have deep roots in the ancient powerful families), so the emperor reluctantly agreed to let him take over the position of president of the Huaguo region.

After all, although the Chinese region is important, sales have always been good and the pressure is not too great, so he reluctantly agreed.

Who would have thought that this guy couldn't afford to play like this!

But unfortunately, he can't do anything now.

You have to finish the sex you arranged, even if it means crying!

Now is not the time to deal with him.

So, he just paused for a moment, and then said, "Bowing can't solve the problem, especially it can't solve the problem of Fengtian Automobile in China."

"Hillhouse Vehicles did not develop into this state just by being established."

"Tell me, how are you going to solve it?"

Feng Tianzhangnan's words are like a needle hidden in cotton, and the irony is simply overwhelming.

For a moment, everyone looked up at Arata Nobuyuki who was sweating profusely in front of them!

No one expected that today's commendation meeting would suddenly turn into a criticism meeting!
Xin Tianxin's face was covered with bruises.

In any case, he was introduced by Lord Minamoto no Yoritomo to be the person in charge of the China region of Fengtian Automobile.

Don't give face to the monk, but give face to the Buddha. You, Feng Tianzhang, are too bullying.

However, thinking is one thing, doing is another. He said with gritted teeth, "Now our colleagues in the China region have come up with a few ideas."

"One is that China's new energy vehicle development momentum is in the ascendant, we can actually develop a new energy vehicle to test the waters."

"Another way is that the profits of Fengtian Automobile's two models are still very lucrative. We can squeeze them directly through price, which is no problem at all."

After hearing what Nitta Nobuyuki said, all the executives present looked at Feng Tian Zhangao who was standing aside.
