Chapter 338: More Than a Year Later

People think that after becoming the richest man, life will be like a fairy.

Han Chudong really doesn't have to worry about material troubles, and countless people invite him to participate in events, hold speeches, and say that they are trying to get him to be interviewed, but in essence, it is still just life, eating when you are hungry, sleeping when you are sleepy, there is no difference.

As the days passed, the busyness seemed fulfilling.

It was 1976 on the high ground in Beverly Hills, when the soil was planted with evergreen grass, when the clubhouse was topped out, and when the striking luxury villa was built to the third floor.

In the first half of the year, I was still busy with business, and in the summer, I suddenly felt very bored, and I went to this vacation again.

is still a familiar hot spring hotel, or a familiar fair-skinned proprietress still lives for more than half a month, the only difference is that Han Chudong always sneaks into her room, thinking that she doesn't know it, but in fact, the bodyguard has already spread inside, and she doesn't think it's a big deal.

I know more and more people, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the development speed is not as rapid as before, but last year, Han Chudong's wealth still skyrocketed by more than one billion US dollars, including the "Jaws" movie with a global box office of nearly 300 million US dollars, which made him earn more than 70 million US dollars, and it was also an after-tax profit.

After the time entered 1976, with the growth of various businesses at the same time, the value is still growing, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day, this is expected, Han Chudong feels very normal, and only others are amazed.

After such a long period of precipitation, Mason Labs kept giving him small surprises.

In August, it first launched a casual sound, which caused a small sensation, and in September, it launched a home video player, which was once again sold out of stock in the storm electrical appliance mall.

In October, the PC equipped with several office systems, including table creation, data statistics, typing and other functions, was introduced to the market, and immediately attracted widespread attention as a revolution in the personal computer, which can be called an epoch-making product.

In October 1976, the personal computer was finally no longer a chicken rib product, and could really be applied to the office, providing great help to consumers, and before the official mass production began, the order volume had quickly exceeded 30,000 units, including 6,000 official orders, which were said to be used in the police department, vehicle management bureau and other units.

DreamWorks Film Studios has released a total of three films this year, and "The Queen Wears Gucci" has grossed more than $74 million worldwide, which is decent and has a very high status in the hearts of women.

"Resident Evil", which was released in April, has become a phenomenal movie, and as of November, the global box office has accumulated more than 490 million US dollars, two grades higher than "Jaws", so that Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun have followed.

In addition, there is another movie, called "Rage", an action movie that took three months to complete, and the total box office has accumulated more than 60 million US dollars, it can only be said that Han Chudong knows very well what the audience wants to see, "Mission Impossible", "Tomb Raider", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and other movies have also begun to prepare, and there are currently as many as nine movies that are planned to be filmed, and the investment mainly comes from the dividends of "Resident Evil", and the second part is also in preparation.

It can be said that in the past year, Han Chudong's strength and financial resources have been improved, which can be called all-round.

Not only have they made gains in these projects, but also in luxury goods, investment business, wine industry, home appliances and toys sales, etc., have achieved amazing growth, take Mason Private Equity Fund as an example, the book profit margin has been 21% since the beginning of this year, and the total scale of funds under management has risen to 3 billion US dollars, of which nearly 1.3 billion US dollars are the profits attributable to Han Chudong and investors.

As for Han Chudong's worth, the total scale is about 5.5 billion US dollars, and only about 4 billion US dollars on the surface, because he not only transferred the shares of Mason United Group, but also donated part of it to his family charitable foundation, and is also investing in shell companies set up in tax havens.

Just the art collection, he has invested nearly 100 million US dollars into it, Van Gogh's oil paintings alone have three hidden, Monet, Gauguin, Picasso and other works have also been included in his pocket one after another, the basement of the home is almost unable to put down, most of the Chinese cultural relics that are still worthless for the time being, including 17 pieces of Yuan blue and white, more than 30 bronzes, and even a Sanxingdui mask.

It may be that money is too easy to buy, so that he began to feel bored with collecting, and recently began to collect information on metal ores, oil fields, State Grid, communication companies, etc.

It's true that it's rich, but it's not so much that there is nowhere to spend it, take abc TV and NBC TV as examples, Han Chudong has been greedy for a long time, but he is still reluctant to spend a lot of money on them.

Recently, I have been working and having fun, living in Los Angeles most of the time, not going anywhere, picking some heavyweight activities to show my face when I am bored, just giving a speech to new and old students at Yale in September, and attending an economic forum summit in Washington, D.C.

November 25, 1976, Thanksgiving Day.

After Han Chudong woke up from his mansion in Beverly Hills, he washed up and went out for a run, he ran in the middle, surrounded by bodyguards, and a bulletproof version of Rolls-Royce in front and behind.

The neighbors in the neighborhood were accustomed to similar scenes, and they had long been surprised and greeted him warmly.

Running all the way to the golf course that has been built, trees and shrubs have recently been planted, including pines and ginkgo biloba, and even baobabs and dragon's blood trees bought from the botanical garden.

The clubhouse next to the golf course is being renovated and is expected to be officially put into use in another quarter, so I went to the lake where the dredging and reconstruction work was completed, looked at the luxury houses that were about to be capped, and said hello to the designer that I would buy some koi fish to keep in the lake, and then I went around and chose another road, and ran home, took a shower and changed clothes, and sat at the dining table to enjoy breakfast.

Han Yigun started the idea of campaigning, and later gave up, mainly because he was controlled by others everywhere, and he dared to point fingers at any ordinary person he met, which was not cool at all in his opinion.

Today's holiday, sleeping lazily until now, Han's father asked at this moment: "Do you need a plane recently, don't you need to help us arrange a route, take your mother and your grandparents to Hawaii for a vacation, don't you have a house there, and a few friends also go together." ”

Han Chudong didn't raise his head, held a spoon in one hand and a newspaper in the other, and said in his mouth: "Well, I'll help you arrange it later, I haven't been to that manor once since I bought that manor in Hawaii, remember to look around after you get there, and help me bring some coffee bean......s when you come back."
