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

Chapter 479, Chapter 266-267: The latest ranking of the world's top 4000 companies! ( words)
After Hillhouse Tang was launched on Hillhouse Yangwang, sales of Hillhouse Tang surged.

Because Yangwang is a million-level luxury car.

And the luxury SUV that is one level lower than Hillhouse is Hillhouse Tang.

Therefore, some customers who cannot afford Hillhouse Capital will try Hillhouse Tang product on a trial basis.

This taste is incredible.

Hillhouse has now made certain technological improvements to the new Tang. Although this car does not have the function of turning around on the spot or launching water, it is spacious and has a large refrigerator and a large color TV, so it has the potential to be a hit.

Therefore, after completing its sales cycle in 2016, this car has unleashed strong consumer potential.

For a full twelve months, the company went into critical hit mode, selling 2015 units of Gaoling Tang, a -unit increase compared to the units sold in .

The sales volume of the Hillhouse Tang model reached 2015 billion yuan in 652.

It seems that successful middle-aged men are as fond of the three major and one high model as ever: large space, large refrigerator, large color TV, and high appearance.

Even though the overall grade of this product is one level lower than that of Looking Up.

But it smells good!
It is also very good-looking, and it captures the pain points of ordinary customers who want large space and comfort, and it also has certain intelligent driving capabilities.

The price is also quite reasonable, just over 400,000 yuan, which is a real bargain compared to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.

Don’t say that the design of this product is mediocre, consumers just love it!

What can we do about this?

Hillhouse’s most powerful product, Hillhouse Yangwang, possesses unrivaled advantages in this market.

The production of 2000 Hillhouse Yangwang cars is equivalent to the sales volume of this car reaching nearly 22 billion yuan within one month.

The annual sales volume is only about 8000 vehicles, and the sales revenue is only 92 billion yuan.

Don't underestimate the sales volume of this product which is only 8000 units.

You know, this is a million-level luxury car.

Gao Huaijun originally just wanted to maintain this status quo!
But now, it has directly surpassed the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and reached its current sales level, which is unimaginable for Gao Huaijun!
This is also the core reason why Hillhouse Vehicle’s other products are so popular.

Hillhouse Capital looks up to this high-end car. Whether it is profitable or not is actually not very meaningful, after all, the sales volume is there.

It is nice to take shelter under a big tree. This saying is absolutely true.

At that time, Austrian Emperor was showing off his power in the Chinese market, stepping on Benz and punching Baoma.

Later, when Maybach entered the market, everything changed.

BBA and Mercedes-Benz are the only ones that dominate the market, and even BMW can’t keep up. Just looking at the 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S, many people will subconsciously think that Mercedes-Benz S is better.

For cars of the same level, the price of Mercedes-Benz will be a little bit higher.

In fact, this is the leading role of high-end models among cars of the same level.

For big items like cars, as long as your brand value is high, people will be happy to pay for it.

In a sense, the sales volume would not be very good, and it could even just be a mascot, waiting for those who are willing to take the bait.

But even so, the Hillhouse car brand can also undergo a transformation.

A car brand that can stand out among million-level luxury cars has the same brand value as Mercedes-Benz which owns Maybach in the eyes of consumers.

Then if I buy Hillhouse Dolphin and Hillhouse Song, wouldn’t that be very cost-effective?
Cost-effectiveness is not an absolute number, but a result of comparison.

If your car is lousy, no one will buy it even if you sell it cheaper than Hillhouse Dolphin.

This high altitude view actually played a very great additive role.

At the same time, Hillhouse Automotive's total sales in 2016 reached an astonishing 2757 billion.

Compared with 2015 billion yuan in 1899, it increased by an exaggerated 858 billion yuan. This increase is much higher than that in 2015, with an increase of nearly 45%.

Based on a scale of nearly 2000 billion yuan, Hillhouse Vehicles has more than 800 billion yuan of value-added space within one year, which is a very terrifying number.

You know, 800 billion yuan can easily put one of China's top companies into the list!
Although Hillhouse Vehicles has such amazing sales.

However, the overall profit margin continued to decline slowly from 11% to 7%.

The total profit was only 193 billion yuan.

Yes, that's right, profit margins have dropped to single digits.

Due to the all-out fighting among competitors and friendly companies, although Hillhouse Yangwang and Hillhouse Tang are supporting the price, the number of several high-volume models is still too large. Now the price of Hillhouse's products has rapidly dropped by more than 10% from the original average price.

However, now that Hillhouse Auto's volume has increased, part of the profits have been transferred to Hillhouse Batteries and Hillhouse Chips.

Moreover, in a market where the red ocean has turned into a bloody ocean, who can still make money by selling cars?

Make money by selling spare parts.

Fengtian has a huge number of cars, and the profit from selling parts is much higher than that from selling whole cars.

Now Hillhouse’s car ownership is not on the same base as Fengtian’s, and Hillhouse’s cars are often newer.

With so many new cars, naturally the number of maintenance is not as high as Fengtian’s.

Gao Huaijun is not in a hurry. The trend has gradually become clear, and the rest will be left to time.

If there is a sufficient number of vehicles in stock, then huge profits can be realized in the future simply by repairing and supplying spare parts.

He knows this, and potential investors actually know this too.

What he needs to do now is to increase the market's cleaning power and increase sales volume, just like BYD in later generations!
Overall, Hillhouse Auto's overall financial statements are still in a very good situation.

Giving the burden to foreign-owned models is also reshaping the landscape of China's automobile market.

That is to say, in 2016, Hillhouse Technology's revenue was 1833 billion yuan, and Hillhouse Vehicle's revenue was 2757 billion yuan. When added together with the resources owned by Hillhouse derivatives such as smart fans, smart lights, smart bicycles, etc., the revenue reached a record high of 4590 billion yuan in the history of Hillhouse Group!

At the same time, Hillhouse Group's total profit reached an unprecedented 632 billion!

Sales of 4590 billion yuan is a very crazy number.

This is completely different from the light-asset, light-employment, and high-profit industry such as live streaming e-commerce in later generations.

The top live streaming e-commerce companies can generate sales of tens or even hundreds of billions a year, yet they only have a few hundred employees.

When you are prosperous, perhaps the government respects you and thinks you are a big shot.

But once you have problems, then your unification will have no value at all. It's just the jobs of hundreds of people, and it can be lost in an instant, without any ambiguity.

The top anchor is nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered.

But Hillhouse's two large BGs are different. One move affects the whole body. Now the number of R&D personnel alone exceeds 30,000, approaching 40,000. In the future, as the business continues to increase, it is expected to reach 100,000.

There are even more manufacturing workers and technical workers.

Now, all the employees of Hillhouse, including direct marketing and other things, have added up to a large employment giant with more than 100,000 people.

Even Foxconn, which has bug-level problems, needs to weigh its own weight in front of Hillhouse Capital.

Today, Hillhouse has become a large multinational enterprise spanning several major categories including electronic technology, automotive industry, chip manufacturing, battery manufacturing, and small household appliances.

Now, even if any force wants to intervene, they have to consider their own strength.

Gao Huaijun now has too many subordinates, and the company has become so big that even if you want to close it, the government will not let you.

Hillhouse’s performance was known to its internal employees at the first opportunity before it was announced.

This group of people are most concerned about Hillhouse’s financial statements and performance.

Because Hillhouse is a company that distributes performance and rewards in positive correlation with performance and profits. The higher the performance and growth rate of the project team, the more performance and bonus you will get.

Naturally, everyone, including those on the R&D side, will think about problems with a C-end mindset.

This can effectively avoid the big pot meal.

"Fuck! The company's performance is too exaggerated. The total performance is almost 4500 billion?"

"Yes, 4500 billion, which is almost 640 billion US dollars in sales. This is simply amazing."

"This is a huge increase in sales. This year, our Gaoling Song R&D team can get more bonuses, hehe."

"Fuck! I'm in the R&D team of Gaolingming and Gaolingyangwang, and I really suffered a big loss this year."

"You can't say that. Look up to this pilot's gesture. Your bonus is guaranteed."

"Too!"

"Where will Hillhouse rank on the Forbes 500 this year?"

"According to the 2016 Forbes Global 2015 ranking released in mid-153, we were ranked ahead of Unilever at 215rd. Last year, we were only ranked around th."

"Fuck!"

"Fuck! Awesome!"

“Hillhouse is really amazing!”

"It's actually ranked in the top 200 among the Fortune 500. In the past, this was an area that only China's monopolistic state-owned enterprises could get involved in!"

Such news spread to all the offices of Hillhouse Capital, big and small, almost instantly.

Hillhouse Capital will enter the top 200 of the Fortune Global 500 this year, and it now seems that this is a foregone conclusion.

Hillhouse’s current sales volume has reached an unprecedented level, and now, not to mention its competitors, even its own employees are a little confused!

Is the company you work for becoming more and more awesome?

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 taxes paid by such an enterprise to the government alone amount to hundreds of billions!
This does not include the individual taxes paid by nearly one billion employees, which is also an astronomical figure!
When Gao Huaijun saw the annual sales data reported by Ning Yuan, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Hillhouse's current sales volume is far from what it used to be when Hillhouse could earn 200 million by selling a single product.

Hillhouse now has a three-dimensional product system and a product strength barrier built by tens of thousands of R&D personnel. Anyone who challenges it will be in great trouble!

"Very good! The bonus proposed last time will not be reduced this time and will be distributed directly." Gao Huaijun asked his assistant Feng Xiaochen to bring a plan. After he read it again, he signed his name on it heavily with the pen in his hand.

A hint of surprise flashed across Ning Yuan's eyes.

The total prize money for this distribution is nearly 100 billion.

One sixth of the total profit will be distributed directly.

If it were those stingy bosses, they would probably go crazy.

Boss Gao is so generous!
"It's not easy for the employees either. They all have to support their families. How can they survive without some money?"

"Earn what you should earn, spend what you should spend. There's no need to be stingy."

Gao Huaijun said in a calm tone as he signed.

After finishing this topic, Gao Huaijun continued, "Isn't the layoff plan I asked you to draw up last time ready yet?"

Ning Yuan's heart tightened, knowing that what was coming had to come, and he quickly handed over a plan in his hand, "We have already drafted it, and the list is above."

Gao Huaijun took it and frowned.

There are obviously more ordinary employees and fewer grassroots managers!
Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

"There are too many new employees with less than five years of service on this list. Add some of the old employees with more than five years of service. Among this group of people, there are those who work diligently and conscientiously. Don't lay them off. But there are some who have become lazy and need to be cleared out!"

"It's like moldy oranges. If you don't clean them up in time, there's a good chance that a large area of ​​them will become moldy and the entire box of oranges will rot."

"Also, where are the management staff? There are only a few of them. You are simply talking nonsense!"

"Managers, strictly follow the mandatory elimination policy I set for the bottom 10% and don't let them stay."

"You have to remember that kindness is not good for the company. If there is no repeated layoffs and eliminations, the people below will become lazy and inefficient. This may seem kind, but it is cruel to the company!"

At the end of his speech, Gao Huaijun looked at Ning Yuan sharply.

When Ning Yuan saw Gao Huaijun's eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head and kept saying sorry.

Doing this was determined by his status and had nothing to do with his personal character.

Gao Huaijun discovered during the management process that getting rid of one cadre was more effective than getting rid of 1 employees.

It's like a store. If you have a good store manager, you will have a good store. If you just make the clerk and the front desk clerk suffer, there is no point.

But it doesn't make much sense to protect employees too well.

All the pressure is released to the grassroots management. The employees feel that this matter has nothing to do with me, so what the management says is of no use!

Gao Huaijun could only use the stick in one hand and the carrot in the other to drive the huge machine of Hillhouse to operate efficiently.

Otherwise, the huge bureaucratic force would give Gao Huaijun a headache.

The money was spent, but there was no effect.

This is the thing that Gao Huaijun needs to avoid the most.
