Since 1983

In 1994, Forbes published the list of billionaires in Mainland China for the first time, and it was published in the Hong Kong magazine Capitalist.

There are 19 in total, the first is brother Liu Yonghao, about 600 million yuan; the last is Zong Haha, about 200 million yuan; Mou Zhong (300 million), Li Xiaohua (200-300 million) and others are in the top ten.

This list immediately attracted a lot of attention in the mainland, with envy and hatred on the one hand, and suspicion on the other. The most typical one is Lao Mou. Many people have seen his family history. How did he get in the list?

Forbes did not do this issue until this year.

Hurun is a British accountant who studies and works in China. In his spare time, he checked newspapers, magazines, reports of listed companies, etc., and spent several months to compile the 1999 China's 50 Rich List.

He contacted several magazines, and only Forbes was willing to publish it, titled Hurun Rich List. It first attracted attention abroad, and then caused waves at home.

A few years later, Hoogewerf went it alone and established its own media organization. And Forbes also officially entered China, so there are two lists and various rankings.

Let’s just talk about this 99 year list:

The first is Mr. Rong's family, with 1 billion and above; the second is Liu Yonghao's brother, and Li Xiaohua has dropped to fourth, but it is also 1 billion and above.

Zhang Fox ranked last, 50-100 million.

There is one person who is very conspicuous, Liu Xiaoqing, ranked 45th, 50-100 million, the only person in the entertainment industry. There was a lot of discussion at the time, Liu Xiaoqing is so rich?

She was also happy to cooperate, saying that she didn't know how much property the old lady had... and then

Do you think it has anything to do with this list? I don't know!

...

The next morning, Xu Fei met Hu Run.

Hu Run is his Chinese name. He is very young in his twenties, gentle and gentle, and speaks a good Mandarin.

Mr. Xu, it's great that you can meet me! I have contacted so many people, and you are the only one who agreed to meet me.

Oh? Why don't they want to see you?

Maybe I don't understand what I'm doing, and you know, Chinese people pay attention to keeping their wealth secret, and they don't want to tell others how much money they have.

Will you rank those who do not accept your investigation?

Of course, this is my personal legal act, and I will not seek the consent of the person concerned.

Hehe, that's why I saw you!

Tea or coffee?

Tea, thank you.

Miss Xiaojiang brought the tea, and Boss Xu asked, Then tell me, why did you make this list?

I have lived in China for several years. Since the first time I came here in 1990, I have felt the drastic changes in this country. Every time I return to the UK, my friends ask me what China is like?

I can only use some monotonous adjectives to describe, and then I thought, is there a very direct standard of expression?

So I thought of the rich list.

China's reform and opening up has turned a group of people who used to carry farm tools into the first generation of rich people. They are also the biggest beneficiaries of economic growth, and their stories can represent the stories of China...

Then how did you get your information channel?

Reports from major Chinese media, listing reports, financial information, etc.

What about the accuracy rate?

Well……

Hurun was a little embarrassed, and said: I estimate it to be around 50%. If I were asked to visit companies and the government, the accuracy rate would be higher, but you know it is very difficult.

Xu Fei nodded, evaluating the public information about himself.

Damn, just The Gate of the Mansion sold 50 million and covered the newspapers, let alone filming Dragon and Babu.

And there are many more that have not been made public: last year alone, Tianxia made a profit of more than 100 million, other media businesses made a profit of 100 million, and Elaine's clothing profit was nearly 100 million. Even if he and Xiao Xu only get 10% dividends, they each have 30 million yuan.

There is also the money earned in Hong Kong, the stocks in the United States, and the richest man in the country can also rush.

After chatting for a long time, Hurun finally couldn't help getting to the point, and said, Mr. Xu, I'm here today just to find out. Because your industry is very special, there is no other media company that can do this.

It's all superficial scenery. There is a saying in China that you know yourself when you are cold and warm...

Xu Fei pondered for a while, and began to cry poorly: I do film and television purely because of my love. The outside world only looks at how much I sell, but they never say how much I cost.

Now except for CCTV's big dramas, the highest episode is about 600,000, but my drama has an average of 400,000 episodes. Dragon Babu is expected to have one million episodes.

It is said that The Wind sold 100 million, but my cost was 40 million, and I could only get more than 30% of the bill, and I had to pay taxes, and I barely paid back the cost with government subsidies.

But the film and television company belongs to the media group, and the media's revenue is very high?

Tear down the east wall to make up for the west! Otherwise, I would have lost money for filming, especially the Tianlong Babu City, where the superficial scenery is actually a loan of real money.

The return of funds for film and television is very slow. If you shoot this year, you will only get back the money next year or even the year after. If The Mansion Gate hadn't been sold at a high price, our funding chain would have been broken last year.

Let's put it this way, the more you earn, the more you spend, and you owe a whole lot of debt...

Sohu has Times Venture Capital's investment?

Yes, but this venture capital is mainly based on Hong Kong capital.

The early rich list was not professional at all, and it was even guesswork.

Hurun is very simple divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D, all of which are calculations.

For example, Liu Xiaoqing, he did not rely on any financial statements, but only read her autobiography My Confessions: From Movie Star to Billionaire Sister and some reports about her investment in real estate.

Extrapolating that she's in the D class, $6 million to $10 million.

If Xu Fei hadn't met, Hoogewerf might have ranked him at the front. Now that we met, the parties said that they were not making money, and they could not get accurate information, so they naturally went down.

After chatting for a long time, Xu Fei sent the other party away and went down to the seventh floor.

Xiaoxu was playing in the virtual community, and piapia was beating someone's pet. Seeing someone coming in, he quickly switched, Tch, it's you! What are you doing down here?

Just sent away a plague god.

What plague god?

When Xu Feibalabala talked about it, Xiao Xu wondered, We didn't evade taxes, so what are we afraid of?

The environment is not good now. If you can hide it, you can hide it. In a few years, you will not be able to hide it if you want to, but it doesn't matter at that time. See if you are the richest man in the mainland!

He patted his chest.

Wow!

Xiao Xu pretended to be amazed, We slept with the richest man.

You're still under the richest man's table.

Get out!

……………………

March warms up.

Yu Dong, from the distribution department of Beijing Film Studio, rode to work early in the morning. It's quite uncomfortable, he didn't go to Beijing Film Studio, but to his new unit:

The newly established China Film Group.

I heard about this last year, and after a year it was formally established, and he and 13 other colleagues were handed over to China Film by the Personnel Department.

The core company is still the former China Film Corporation, with a large courtyard and a large building. Riding a broken car to the entrance of the courtyard, a Daben happened to drive in, and I saw the license plate, oh, Mr. Xu.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Dong stepped forward to say hello, Morning Xu!

less than?

Yo, do you remember me?

I just have a good memory, have you been transferred to China Film Academy?

Well, we still do distribution.

Do it well.

Xu Fei went upstairs, and Xiao Mo followed behind with a big box.

Wu Mengchen is the chairman, and Han Sanping is the deputy director and vice president, focusing on the production process. The two came out to greet them together, and Xu Fei smiled and said, Why didn't you even say hello and set off a firecracker when it opened?

The group is a pilot project, so keep a low profile.

Come in and sit.

(besides……)
