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

Chapter 450, Chapter 202-203: The reaction of the capital market! (4000 words)
Stimulated by the huge box office, the number of viewers of the movie "The Wandering Earth" is increasing rapidly.

At the end of the third week, the total number of viewers of this movie had reached 100 million!
This is a very scary number.

This means that nearly 10% of the passers-by in China have watched this movie.

The Mermaid, the latest all-time champion this year, had just over 9000 million viewers.

When Gao Huaijun saw the news, he couldn't help but feel happy.

More than 100 million people watched this movie, which is equivalent to more than 100 million people watching Hillhouse Capital's soft-implanted advertisements, and it was smooth and seamless.

This will be of great help in deepening the public's impression of Hillhouse's high-tech image and strengthening Hillhouse's brand capabilities.

This kind of help is much greater than simply spending 600 million on advertising.

What's more, the several hundred million invested will not only not lose money, but will very likely make money, even double it, which is a complete win!
Originally, many small and medium-sized investors at Hillhouse Capital had been tactfully advising Gao Huaijun not to slack off from his main business. If he could play well in the two major industries of automobiles and electronic technology, he would be considered a success. There was no need to get involved in a minor field like movies, which not only made little money but also had great risks.

Let me ask, how many technology tycoons in the beautiful country would be involved in the film industry?
No!

not a single one!

But now seeing that the movie "The Wandering Earth" has become a huge hit and that the first movie invested in it can actually directly win the annual box office championship in history, everyone has shut up.

They can make money and promote Hillhouse's brand at the same time. What's there to be dissatisfied about?
At this time, Guo Fan on the other side saw that the effect of this movie was almost equivalent to an explosion, and he felt very refreshed these days.

The film industry is a world where you have to rely on your own abilities to conquer the world. Without box office, even if you are a tough guy, your status in the industry will decline!

Now, with this movie, he has directly become one of China's top directors.

All right!
The flowers, smiling faces, handshakes and applause he received in the past few days were more than those in the first half of his life combined!

He has been extremely busy during this period, touring various places desperately, determined to push this movie to a completely different position.

However, he was very clear in his mind that if Gao Huaijun had not given him this opportunity, he would definitely not have been able to stand out and perform so many tricks.

And the other side.

After a month and nearly five unprecedented reversals, the total box office exceeded the 5 billion yuan mark!
From the 30 billion+ of "The Mermaid" to the latest "The Wandering Earth" of 50 billion+, it directly skipped the 40 billion+ level in between, and even at 30 billion+, there was only one movie, "The Mermaid".

The box office revenue of over 50 billion, converted into RMB, is nearly 7-8 million yuan.

This achievement is so exaggerated that even based on China's box office market alone, it has already squeezed into the list of the top 500 commercial films in the world.

This was actually an unprecedented box office peak in the history of Chinese films.

It is also evidence of the box office potential of Chinese films in the future.

Although China's annual box office has expanded rapidly in the past two years, it is still a luxury and dream for the box office champion to catch up with the United States.

But now, the emergence of "The Wandering Earth" has given many investors confidence and hope!

This movie actually grossed over 50 billion at the box office, so it shouldn’t be difficult for the movies we invest in later to reach over 20 billion, right?
In China, a company that can earn hundreds of millions in sales a year is considered a medium-sized company.

This investment of 600 million yuan directly made a profit of 1.6 to 1.7 billion yuan after one and a half years. It is simply unbelievable.

In order to celebrate the movie's box office revenue of over 1 billion yuan, Hillhouse Entertainment held an internal celebration banquet in Shanghai.

The celebration banquet was kept low-key and no media was invited to report on it, except for a few relevant executives from Hillhouse Entertainment, a few auxiliary operators such as China Film Company, and leading actors such as Guo Fan and Wu Jing.

Gao Huaijun did not attend the celebration banquet in person, but asked Ning Yuan to host it.

But even so, several powerful bosses such as Han Sanping did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, they happily communicated with Ning Yuan and hoped to have the opportunity to cooperate again in Hillhouse's subsequent film development!
Even the usually serious and stern boss Han was like this, and other filmmakers who saw it were shocked.

In fact, they already know in their hearts that although Hillhouse Capital is only a newcomer who invested in one movie, it has completely become a core player in the Chinese film market!
Just imagine, if Hillhouse Entertainment invests in another movie, any director, even big directors like Xu Zheng and Zhang Yimou, will have to think twice about whether this will be the next phenomenal blockbuster!

And the theaters that made a lot of money this time have to give some preferential screening schedules even just for the name of Hillhouse.

This is the advantage of branding.

At the celebration banquet, the previously unknown Guo Fan and the mediocre Wu Jing, the lead actor in "The Wandering Earth", both seemed very excited and drank a lot of wine.

Needless to say, Guo Fan has been very busy during this period, and it was only today that he was able to release his emotions.

However, as a well-known director in China, he still knows how to be reserved.

But Wu Jing was much more excited than him.

His most popular role before was the TV series "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng", and he later went to Freeport for a while.

To say that he is neither hot nor cold is an understatement. Like Zhao Wenzhuo, as an action actor, his inherent ceiling means he is now almost in danger of retiring.

Some of his former friends, many of whom were very close, no longer treated him well.

Now, thanks to his brilliant performance in the epoch-making movie "The Wandering Earth", he has not only surpassed his peak period, but has even directly stood on the throne of China's number one middle-aged male actor!
All of this is so dreamy, yet so real.

The contrast between what happened before and after was so great that some people started to make a fuss and asked him to say something. He even choked up. The eyes of this grown man were a little red due to the alcohol, and he said some words of gratitude while sobbing.

When he was moved, he even cried.

Seeing this, Guo Fan hurried over and patted Wu Jing on the shoulder.

He could totally empathize with Wu Jing's thoughts!
And Ning Yuan, who was standing aside, seemed to be touched as well.

His situation inside Hillhouse can be described as treading on thin ice, and it is not at all as glorious as it seems on the surface!
Now, the new employees recruited by Hillhouse are usually from 211 universities, and even some ordinary 211 universities are not looked at. The new employees recruited are mainly students from strong 985 universities such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shanghai Jiaotong University, etc. Or they are students from some famous foreign universities.

As an ordinary factory manager who has not even graduated from a junior college, he got this position only with the help of Gao Huaijun. Do you think he is walking on thin ice?
He went up to comfort Wu Jing and said, "Teacher Wu is gold. Gold shines wherever it is, and flowers are fragrant wherever they are. I hope that in the next movie, if there is a chance, we can still cooperate with Teacher Wu!"

After hearing what Ning Yuan said, Wu Jing couldn't help but feel overjoyed!
In the eyes of these actors, Hillhouse now represents appeal.

He doesn’t know whether Hillhouse’s next movie will be a blockbuster, but compared to other film companies, the probability of producing a blockbuster is really much higher!

"If President Ning has any instructions, please come to me directly. If you have any needs, please tell me directly. We will definitely meet your needs if we can." Wu Jing said excitedly.

Ning Yuan smiled and shook hands with him, indicating that he would.

The huge success of "The Wandering Earth" can be said to have opened a convenient door for Hillhouse in this field.

Compared with other companies that are struggling for an investment of 100 million or 200 million, Hillhouse Capital is now looking further ahead.

Hillhouse Capital has currently purchased many of Liu Cixin's works, hoping to make a big splash in the field of science fiction films.

According to Gao Huaijun, in the future Hillhouse will create a large-scale film development plan similar to the Marvel Universe and Liu Cixin Universe.

. . . . . .

As the capital circle's recognized richest man in China, Gao Huaijun's activity in the capital circle has not been as high as those of previous entrepreneurs, such as Chen Tianqiao, Pan Shiyi, etc.

But even so, it relied on Hillhouse Capital's support and the super explosion of "The Wandering Earth".

As the performance of both companies grew, Hillhouse Technology's stock price soared directly from the current sideways phase of 70 yuan to 90 yuan!
After the box office of "The Wandering Earth" reached the incredible 50 billion yuan mark and became the No. 100 box office champion in China, Hillhouse Technology's stock even broke through the completely incredible Hong Kong dollars mark!

You know, the performance of these two companies has nothing to do with Hillhouse Technologies!
After all, Hillhouse's equity division has directly severed the connections between the several parties.

However, in the eyes of investors, there is still a very strong connection between them.

The powerful black technology that Hillhouse admires means that Hillhouse's electronic technology has found a new fusion interface in addition to traditional fields such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. That is the automotive field that has recently become popular!

Countless cross-field applications have directly opened up the upper limit, or ceiling, of Hillhouse Technology.

What's more, some financial investors are already expecting that the strong artificial intelligence route represented by Hillhouse will lead the world towards a bright third technological revolution!

This kind of concept that can make people's blood expand can easily increase the stock price of Hillhouse Technology by 20 yuan.

The success of "The Wandering Earth" is even more amazing.

The film industry is one of the most powerful public opinion platforms in the world today.

The United States is technologically advanced in this field and has never lost!

Except for a few countries such as China, Han, the island countries, and India, almost all other countries are exaggerated by Hollywood day after day.

Hillhouse Capital’s first film, “The Wandering Earth,” is so stunning that it’s hard to imagine to what extent they will break through the ceiling in the future.

Strong product power plus strong publicity ability.

What kind of terrifying monster Hillhouse will become in the future is what all financial industry practitioners are imagining.

While Hillhouse Technology's stock price has soared and broken through the 100 yuan mark, Gao Huaijun is now quietly busy with another thing, which is to start planning the listing of Hillhouse vehicles!

"Does Hillhouse Vehicles really need to go public so quickly? It has not reached the highest premium yet. Speeding up the pace of listing will be a bit of a disadvantage for Hillhouse." Tang Ying, who was standing nearby, was wearing a pretty black work suit. She glanced at Gao Huaijun with her beautiful eyes and said crisply.

As an expert who had worked in the investment banking department for so many years, she naturally knew what Gao Huaijun's recent actions meant, and she persuaded him tactfully.

"The highest premium? Do you think that premium or no premium is really that meaningful to me?" After looking at the document for a minute, Gao Huaijun signed a beautiful cursive handwriting, then took off his gold-rimmed glasses and answered with a smile.

Tang Ying, who was standing by, was stunned for a moment, then something suddenly occurred to her.

That is indeed the case.

Gao Huaijun’s current assets make him the richest man in China.

Although there is still some distance to the world's richest man, it is still very impressive for a technology company to win such a title!

You know, the richest people in China throughout the years are either real estate developers like Wang Jianlin, logistics monopoly developers like Mayun, or low-end product manufacturers and paper sellers like Zhang Yin.

There has never been a case in China where the richest person is the owner of a cutting-edge technology company.

Most of the private enterprises that make money are low-tech.

Now Gao Huaijun has finally filled this gap!

However, although Gao Huaijun earned so much money, he really didn't spend much on himself.

How much money is left for three meals a day, plus the expenses of Shang Yayan and his younger son, as well as his mother's expenses?

I was so full that I liked to eat imported fruits, high-quality vegetables and meat. I also bought a small farm near Xicheng, where I grow pesticide-free organic vegetables, raise pigs, cattle and sheep, and make some milk and goat milk.

This costs little money.

Just like what some people say, eating, drinking and whoring cost a lot of money, but even if you spend all that money you'll have little left.

Gao Huaijun’s biggest desire now is to bring Hillhouse Group to a height that he can reach!
The key is to complete it before your cheat code expires!
