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

Chapter 485, Chapter 278-279: Gambling! (4000 words)
In Gao Huaijun's previous life, the Hillhouse Xingyao model was only popular for a while. After all, there were too many competing products of the same type from other companies.

But in this era, it is an innovative existence!
All car manufacturers have started to roll in.

After Hillhouse participated in the Geneva Motor Show, a group of senior and middle-level executives came to China on a large scale for the first time to see the development of new energy vehicles in China.

Before that, they could only watch Dazhong's declining sales in China and the repeated complaints from colleagues at the Greater China company, feeling puzzled.

How come German cars are no longer popular in China after only two years?
Before they came to China in large numbers, the development level and speed of China's new energy vehicles was still a black box to them. They could only know about it from the weekly report emails from large and medium-sized Chinese companies. They thought that companies like Hillhouse were quite powerful. But when they really came to China in large numbers, they found out that you are so powerful?
Then there are the layoffs and replacements after the sales decline, and then Dazhong has decisively increased its investment in China, established autonomous driving divisions and various new energy industry chain joint ventures in China.

However, even so, under the premise that other competing products do not have such strong competitiveness, now with the support of official media, it has unexpectedly become a product that refreshes the domestic consumers' cognition.

It has become so popular that even old men and women know that there is a company in China called Hillhouse. The products made by Hillhouse are now defeating foreign companies.

Frequent price cuts can only maintain the original status!

This feeling is so good!

In fact, many Chinese people have a strong sense of patriotism, which is a desire to win the country.

Even if you can't win now, you must have a chance to win in the future.

As long as you have the potential, the Chinese will definitely give you a chance.

If you are like Chinese football, you lose if you are given one chance, you lose if you are given two chances, and you lose again if you are given three chances.

There is no fun in losing!

Then you expect the Chinese people to treat you well, that's impossible!

But a company like Hillhouse Capital has been conquering cities and strongholds at home and advancing step by step abroad, taking a big step forward every year.

In this case, even the authorities will support you.

And now, Hillhouse is receiving this treatment.

At this time, in the small meeting room of Xicheng leaders, Xicheng leader Zhang said to Gao Huaijun while drinking tea, "Mr. Gao's Gao Ling has never disappointed the Chinese people. He is simply a model of the times and a pioneer in the development of Xicheng private enterprises!"

Leader Zhang's words came from the heart.

Although Xicheng was an industrial city in the past, it was a city with only a primary industrial base.

The famous Taihu Lake blue algae pollution incident was an incident in which the indiscriminate discharge of industrial pollution led to the eutrophication of Taihu Lake, which caused the massive reproduction of blue algae and ultimately caused the deterioration of water quality.

But since Hillhouse gradually transformed from an electric fan factory to making MP3s, mobile phones, and now cars, chips, and artificial intelligence.

Although some smart departments have moved to other cities, a considerable number of institutions have remained, and have also brought with them a considerable scale of electronic technology supporting industries and automobile supporting industries, allowing the city to achieve a comprehensive upgrade.

Now, in Binhu District where Hillhouse’s headquarters is located, not counting other things, the housing price alone is over 3, approaching !
This housing price is even higher than that in many areas of Shanghai. It is hard to imagine that without the high-paid employees of Hillhouse Capital buying the houses here, it would be so expensive.

Now, Xicheng has formed a large group of small office buildings around Hillhouse’s headquarters.

In a prefecture-level city like Xicheng rather than a provincial capital, there is a fairly large cluster of office buildings.

This is also inseparable from the high-tech industrial cluster led by Hillhouse.

Gao Huaijun also felt emotional.

In his previous life, he had also had meals with leaders of this level.

However, at that time, he was just a soldier sitting at the last position.

I guess after the leader clinked glasses with him, he probably forgot who he was in the blink of an eye.

But these thirty years have been like that.

Now, if Gao Huaijun wants to meet the leader of Xicheng, then he can really meet him whenever he wants!

In fact, if Gao Huaijun says one word now, it is very likely that it will be more useful than ten words said by the leaders of Xicheng.

The leaders of Xicheng came here at most to provide a transition period and then left.

With such a huge amount of resources at their disposal, who wouldn’t be terrified?

Who doesn't weigh what he says?

It is no exaggeration to say that Gao Huaijun is now the real King of Xicheng.

When Gao Huaijun smiled and said modestly, "No, no," Zhang continued, "Mr. Gao, in my opinion, Hillhouse Capital has really gone viral."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more about it." Gao Huaijun looked at Leader Zhang with interest.

"A few days ago, I went to the Imperial District to attend a friend's wedding."

"During the banquet, except for a few younger people, the people at the table were all aunts and grandfathers with an average age of over 50 years old."

"While drinking, an old man took the initiative to talk about your Gaoling. His granddaughter bought your Gaoling Xingyao. He said he didn't understand it. After all, young people today are different from the older generation. It's unclear what products they like."

"I didn't expect this. Once we started talking, all the old men at the table knew about your Gao Ling."

"I have been praising your products for a long time, and now I am also going to explore the overseas expansion strategy."

"As the leader of the city where Hillhouse is located, I am also honored!"

Speaking of this, Leader Zhang had a hint of pride on his face.

Gao Huaijun suddenly realized this.

No wonder Leader Zhang asked him to meet recently.

How could a wedding that Leader Zhang was able to personally go to the capital to attend be an ordinary wedding?
Although these old men are no longer in charge of things, their influence is still there.

It is not an exaggeration to decide a person's fate with just a few words.

But it can also be seen from this that people in that circle are indeed optimistic about the future development of Hillhouse.

"Leader Zhang, did you fight for our higher-ups to get us on TV this time?" Gao Huaijun asked tentatively.

They usually cooperate with the central bank, but the central bank is very reserved in its publicity of Hillhouse.

Last time it was just a simple news flash.

People who don’t know the inside story may not even know that the company being broadcast is Hillhouse Capital.

It's nothing like this time, with three small interviews and praise by name. This is totally not the style of the central bank.

You could even say that this is a professional soft advertisement that lasts almost three minutes!

If this soft advertisement requires money, no one will talk to you unless you have tens of millions.

This level of explosion cannot be compared with a soft advertisement worth tens of millions.

Gold has a price, but confidence is priceless.

It can be said that this is equivalent to taking the Hillhouse brand directly to a higher level!
"How could it be possible that I fought for this kind of program, this kind of broadcasting effect, and even the format of a column, ordinary leaders don't have that kind of power." Leader Zhang looked at Gao Huaijun in astonishment and exclaimed.

In fact, he was thinking in his heart that even the leaders of Shanghai did not have that much power to accomplish this task.

Gao Huaijun was also stunned.

Although he was very proficient in the management of the technology industry, he did not know as much about the content of Zheng Zhi's section as Leader Zhang, who was pondering over it. Naturally, he did not understand the ins and outs of it.

Hillhouse was able to break through and get so much cooperation from Zheng Zhishang.

The key lies in the fact that its products are strong enough and its strength is strong enough.

The colorful sedan chair is carried by everyone, and naturally it is the existence of a common interest group that is creating momentum.

"Your performance is noticed by the superiors. As long as Hillhouse doesn't make any major mistakes, there will not be any major impact." After hesitating for a moment, Leader Zhang said to Gao Huaijun meaningfully.

This sentence was actually the key factor in why he asked Gao Huaijun to meet him today.

Although the colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone.

But aren’t there many cases in China where people have to watch him build a tall building, watch him entertain guests, and then watch his building collapse?

Hu Xueyan in the distant past and Hong Lou in the recent past are both typical examples.

Hillhouse now has five major industrial clusters: chips, electronic technology, automotive industry, artificial intelligence, and battery research and development.

Moreover, it is so large in scale that it is one of the leading companies among the Fortune 500.

If you are in China and play with women, then people will turn a blind eye.

As for other things, as long as they are not excessive, we will turn a blind eye.

After all, it is not easy to support such a large group of people.

Just like that, there shouldn’t be too many temptations in the colorful world outside!

It is too easy for Hillhouse to play any tricks.

Any random trick can be used to transfer assets.

This kind of thing is the most taboo among taboos and will be directly destroyed.

Moreover, Gao Huaijun is still very young, in his thirties, so Leader Zhang wanted to talk to him.

"Don't worry! Leader Zhang, I know some things." A sharp light flashed in Gao Huaijun's eyes, and then he looked at Leader Zhang thoughtfully, and then said firmly.

joke!

At this time, the organization is testing him.

Invisible hands were watching him.

How could he do this at this time?
"It's good that you know this. Mr. Gao is such a smart man. Our Xicheng has to rely on Mr. Gao for its development!" Leader Zhang said with a laugh.

These words really came from his heart.

Although Xicheng is one of the core cities in the Yangtze River Delta.

But he is always fighting against the powerful siphon of the Magic City.

Even the Gaoling in front of us had part of it siphoned away.

What he said may seem a bit superficial, but it is what is in his heart.

Xicheng is really deeply tied to the same boat with Hillhouse!

"Xicheng and Hillhouse share the same fate, and we also need Leader Zhang's care and attention."

"Leader Zhang, you also know that Hillhouse has a Hillhouse entertainment plan."

"We are thinking of setting up a high-tech film and television base in Xicheng."

"We specialize in high-tech film and television shooting for major manufacturers, and we also use some of our Gaoling technology for proofreading and experiments."

Gao Huaijun said with a smile.

"Oh? There is such a thing?" Leader Zhang asked in surprise.

There is actually a film and television base in Xicheng.

However, the lukewarm performance of this film and television base troubled Leader Zhang a lot.

If Hillhouse can revitalize this asset, it will be a great boost to Xicheng's soft culture!

"It should be so."

"Because our new film The Wandering Earth 2 encountered certain shooting bottlenecks, we had higher requirements for the shooting location and the latest shooting technology, so we thought of setting up a simple film and television base. Our requirements are not high, just to implement some of our technologies in artificial intelligence and accelerate the progress of some film technologies."

Gao Huaijun replied.

In fact, what Gao Huaijun said was half true and half false.

It is true that we are implementing some of our technologies in artificial intelligence.

However, even without this film and television base, further penetration can be achieved through "The Wandering Earth 2".

His core purpose is to use such a film and television base to make China's major film companies pay attention to the shooting of large-scale heavy industrial films.

This is actually his original intention for Hillhouse’s cultural and entertainment industry.

By the way, it can also further penetrate into this circle.

The third purpose is to further tie up Xicheng.

The government has always been very enthusiastic about cultural and tourism activities.

This amount of investment would have been huge in the past, but now it seems to be just a drizzle of idle moves.

It doesn’t matter if you make money, and it doesn’t matter if you lose money.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Gao. I will invite you to visit more often in the future and give you more surprises like this." Leader Zhang shook hands with Gao Huaijun in surprise.

"Hillhouse is a company that started in Xicheng and grew up in Xicheng. It is the child of Xicheng. We have the opportunity to nurture Xicheng, and it is what Xicheng should do." Gao Huaijun said with a smile while shaking hands.

As Hillhouse's home base, it is naturally impossible for it to move its entire headquarters to Shanghai like some companies, such as Wang Real Estate in Changzhou in later generations.

Although Shanghai attaches great importance to Hillhouse, it does not attach importance to this extent.

But it’s different in Tin City.

What privileges does Hillhouse want now?
Definitely a local boss!
As for financing, the most scarce resource in Shanghai, Hillhouse no longer needs it now.

One is that Hillhouse now has very abundant cash flow. The profit level of Hillhouse Technology plus the sales volume of Hillhouse vehicles, as well as the high growth potential it still possesses, are enough to make any institution jealous.

There is no need to use various means and methods to go public through a backdoor listing like a certain real estate company in Cheung Chau.

This is meaningless for Hillhouse.

After leaving Zhang's office, Gao Huaijun took a deep look at the tall building behind him and thought, "There are both dangers and opportunities. In addition to conventional means, Hillhouse also needs to prepare some backup plans."
