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

Chapter 430, Chapter 162-163: The influence of Hillhouse after its substantial growth in performance! (4000 words)
More importantly, according to the virtual ranking based on the 2014 Forbes Global 2015, Hillhouse can basically be ranked in the early 200s based on its 210 sales data, which means it is roughly ahead of Cisco and ranked around th.

In other words, Hillhouse has now completely established its foothold and has officially become a mid-to-large Fortune 500 company.

Rather than being a marginal Fortune 2014 company that just barely scraped by like in .

Now, in a sense, Hillhouse can be regarded as a large technology company with a certain influence in the world!

Hillhouse's current sales volume and level of success have confused some of its Chinese competitors and professional financial reports.

In 2014, Hillhouse Capital unfortunately failed to enter the Fortune Global , missing the mark by a few hundred million yuan in sales.

They estimated that Hillhouse should be able to enter the Fortune Global 400 this year, but at most it would be around 200th. But now looking at the situation, Hillhouse is heading directly for th place.

In just one year, sales can directly leapfrog by 300 places.

What about next year?

What’s more, what about the year after next?
Can we now take a moment to envision Hillhouse’s future?
Gao Huaijun made it easy for Hillhouse to directly release the 2015 financial report of Hillhouse Group.

Perhaps Gao Huaijun, including people at Hillhouse Group, think that this is just a normal financial statement with good performance growth.

But he overlooked that this is 2016, not 2024.

In this era, the Chinese people are still more or less unable to stand up straight.

This is the mark left by the many disasters that China has experienced since 1840.

That’s why the so-called Olympic gold medal strategy came into being!

In some niche projects, which are so-called small and difficult ones, there are few women.

Small means small ball, clever means skill event, difficult means high difficulty, female means women's event, and few means few participants.

When it comes to large-scale group and confrontational projects, China simply disappears.

For example, men's football, men's basketball, men's volleyball, etc.

Try some sports that no one else plays, and do them for your own fun to win glory for the country.

When the Chinese people saw that they won the gold medal, they also felt proud.

This is actually the result of not being able to straighten your back.

But now, the achievements made by Hillhouse Group are no longer the so-called potential that was previously imagined. It has directly hit the relevant financial media in China, hoping to conduct a corresponding interview with Gao Huaijun.

Hillhouse is not a pure online company like Culiang, nor is it like it, a company that only assembles foreign parts. It has very few industrial chains left in the country and employs a very small number of employees.

The number of self-research employees and self-employed production employees is about hundreds of thousands, and it has now become a high-tech enterprise that the country focuses on.

Even in Suzhou and Jiangnan Province, a core province in the Yangtze River Delta, there are super large enterprises ranked in the top five!
Such a trust-like, high-tech business model has greatly facilitated the growth of China's industrial chain. The technological upgrades that the Chinese government has long dreamed of can be found in this company!
Therefore, this time the central bank took action!

Media of this level always adopts a completely different approach from the beginning.

This is completely different from the previous simple interview, which was then broadcast on the news channel at 10 o'clock. This kind of unpopular interview positioned Gao Huaijun as an ordinary electronic technology entrepreneur and more like an ordinary entrepreneur.

Gao Huaijun can see that the central bank is very interested in Hillhouse Group's business model of electronic technology and automotive industry, and this is also a good opportunity to quickly promote and improve Hillhouse Group.

So he readily agreed.

This time, the central bank conducted a 50-minute special report on Gao Huaijun during the prime-time focus interview on the comprehensive channel!
This is an unusual report.

You should know that the Focus Interview program usually starts at 19:35 and ends at 20:00.

Unless there is a national event, this program will generally not be postponed, let alone making an exception for a company. This is absolutely unprecedented.

In this exclusive interview, CCTV's Focus Interview program divided its forces into three groups to provide all-round and different reports on the company from different angles.

A group of reporters is specifically responsible for consumer surveys, starting from the initial Hillhouse handheld small electric fan to the recent Hillhouse Mate 10 mobile phone and Hillhouse Song PLUS customers, reflecting the psychological changes of Hillhouse customers.

A group of reporters was responsible for interviewing Hillhouse employees to find out what Hillhouse’s internal employees were thinking.

The last group of clients interviewed Hillhouse’s supply chain and channel partners.

The three groups of reporters covered the entire process from the initial preparation of production materials, to the middle stages of research and development and combined production, to the final stage of consumption.

It solidly shows the development of Hillhouse's products from scratch to their final mass circulation in the market.

The reporter first interviewed Hillhouse’s partner, Lao Zhou, the head of OFILM!

Lao Zhou first introduced his own situation. Through the acquisition of the company, OFILM mastered advanced camera modules and packaging technology, and obtained orders for Pingguo Company's global business.

It has become one of the few suppliers of Pingguo in China.

In the second year of becoming a Pingguo supply chain company, OFILM's revenue from optical products doubled, directly increasing from 79 billion yuan to 166 billion yuan.

In just two years, it surpassed Sunny Optical and ranked first in China in terms of mobile phone camera shipments and revenue.

But the good times did not last long. Within a year after becoming one of Hillhouse's supply chains, it was identified by Pingguo as a high-risk supplier with the risk of leaking product research and development technology, and was directly removed from Pingguo's supply chain list.

China's local coarse grain and blue-green factories are accustomed to using foreign optical components or other local optical brands such as Sunny Optical, so in the short term, OFILM's business has plummeted and can only rely on Hillhouse's support to support all its businesses.

The prospects of OFILM look very bleak. Its superb R&D team and lack of certain sales volume can basically make many people question its future survival ability. However, according to Lao Zhou, OFILM did not fall into despair because of this, but directly ALL IN on some of Hillhouse's difficult needs. With the large-scale shipment of Hillhouse's mobile phones and notebooks and other products, OFILM is now not only resurrected, but can even be described as a phoenix reborn!
Now sales have not only regained ground, but have also set a new record!

Finally, Lao Zhou concluded, "I am not speaking for Hillhouse. I think you may have bought a Hillhouse mobile phone and may think it is very ordinary, but what I want to say is that using Hillhouse's products is different from other businesses. Hillhouse is indeed driving the rise of China's electronics industry."

"If you take apart their mobile phones, you will find that most of the components of Chinese mobile phones, including ours, are from Chinese local industry chain manufacturers, not more mature suppliers in the West!"

“They give us such an opportunity to grow.”

"In a sense, Hillhouse has made a very significant contribution to the rise of the electronics industry in our great motherland!"

When he spoke of the latter part, perhaps because he thought of something touching, tears of emotion welled up in his eyes.

Even the audience in front of the TV were stunned by what Lao Zhou said.

It is clear that what Lao Zhou said earlier was just rote memorization. Although he spoke very fluently, his tone was full of written language and advanced vocabulary, and it was obvious that he had memorized it in advance.

But when he said the last sentence, it was different.

The words were infused with emotion, and not only the audience in front of the TV, but even the reporters interviewing the audience couldn't help but be moved!
This layout, this height, this positioning!

You can tell at first glance that this is something that only someone who has been in senior management for a long time could say.

This flattery was done on CCTV's Focus Interview program, which made Gao Huaijun realize that it would be unreasonable not to give OFILM a ten-year contract!
On the other hand, the employees who interviewed Hillhouse were not old-timers who had worked there for several years. Instead, they were graduates from ordinary universities who had just joined Hillhouse half a year, including those who graduated from the computer science departments of Beijing University of Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, and Erbin Institute of Technology.

The reporter first asked about their income. They said that their current basic salary is the second tier for graduates, which is about 1.3 yuan. The average salary of graduates of the same level in the capital during the same period is about 1 yuan.

Moreover, their R&D projects basically have performance-based compensation, and the more you work, the more you earn. Basically, every graduate can even get a salary of around 1.6 to 2 yuan.

This is just the first year of graduation!

If you graduate with a Ph.D., you can apply for a job at Hillhouse Research Institute and earn more money.

When the reporter was interviewing this group of newbies, Hillhouse issued a new urgent task, which was about the additional R&D project for new car models.

It was just time for lunch, so the reporter decided to go to the cafeteria by himself.

He originally thought that Hillhouse’s cafeteria would be like an ordinary employee cafeteria at the Central Bank, but he didn’t expect it to be decorated like a five-star hotel!
It’s so luxurious!
An employee who was having lunch next to him saw that he was a reporter from CCTV and helped him and the photographer to buy lunch.

"Are all employee meals at Hillhouse of this standard?" The reporter is from Cantonese, and he really likes to eat the barbecued pork and roast goose rice. After taking a bite, he found that the barbecued pork and roast goose rice in the cafeteria was the most authentic he had ever eaten in the capital.

"Yes, we at Hillhouse don't do anything fake. The daily meal allowance for each employee is RMB 100 for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The canteen here is filled with applicants from suppliers. Every month, there are dual assessments based on employee evaluation and turnover. Those who fail the assessment will be directly eliminated. The food in this canteen is so delicious that I have gained more than 20 pounds in the three years since I came to Hillhouse. And if we work overtime, we have midnight snacks." The employee who was dining said proudly.

The reporter looked envious.

The most taboo thing about eating in the cafeteria is that the food becomes unpalatable and you get tired of it after a while.

But what Hillhouse does is to maintain high standards of dine-in every day, which is indeed the dream of every working person.

"You just said that you have been working at Hillhouse for more than three years. What has kept you working here for so long? I see that all the employees here are in a hurry, and it seems that the work pace is very fast!" As he spoke, the camera turned and saw that many employees were eating while talking on the phone.

From this real shot, we can see that Hillhouse’s work pace is at full throttle!

"One is that working here, we can be exposed to the best R&D work atmosphere in the world. Although the work is busy, it is very fulfilling. On the other hand, the salary is indeed very high."

"House prices in the capital are very expensive now, but if you can work at Hillhouse for five years, there is a high probability that you will be able to buy a house in the capital!"

"According to Mr. Gao Huaijun, enabling employees to earn money and buy houses is the responsibility of the company and a core component of the Chinese Dream."

The reporter did not expect that this employee had no resistance to overtime work. Instead, there was a sense of pride in his words.

Nothing!
It’s really incredible!

This shows that the employees highly identify with Hillhouse Capital.

No wonder their performance has increased so many times in ten years, directly entering the middle position of the Fortune Global 500, and becoming the first Chinese private enterprise to do so.

From these details, we can see that there is some truth to Hillhouse's rapid performance growth rate, with no sign of stagnation.

The last group of reporters randomly arrived in Jinwei City near the imperial capital and came to a Hillhouse flagship store during the evening rush hour.

When they arrived at the Hillhouse flagship store, the audience in front of the TV could all feel the surprise of the store clerks.

The reporter searched casually, greeted the manager of the flagship store, and then interviewed an ordinary customer who was paying and had agreed.

"Are you planning to buy a Honor Magic phone?" The reporter asked directly after seeing the phone in his hand.

The customer spoke in authentic Jinwei dialect and said with a smile, "I don't have money. If I had money, I would buy their flagship Mate series mobile phone!"

"I am an old customer of Hillhouse. I have been attracted to Hillhouse for several years. I have bought MP3, mobile phones and even the latest batch of computers."

The reporter immediately became interested and asked, "What makes you like Hillhouse's things so much?"

"The quality of the phone is good, and the key is that it looks very beautiful! If the quality of domestic brands is similar to that of foreign brands, I will definitely give priority to domestic mobile phones." The customer said with a smile.

The reporter found a key word, "quality". "Then if Hillhouse's quality is not good, will you not consider domestic products?"
