Chapter 288: The World's Top 500

After returning from Hulunbuir, it was almost the Spring Festival, and the ancient tomb studio in Huairou Film and Television City had also been built.

However, Li Mu still gave everyone a long vacation very humanely, and let them all go back for a good year.

And Li Mu will also go to see his parents, stay at home for a week, and accompany his parents to visit all the relatives' homes.

In this regard, Li Mu also had no choice but to accompany the two old men.

But this is also a rare rest time, Li Mu has not stopped at all in the past year, from filming to post-production, release, publicity, and started filming again, unlike others who have various holidays.

But Li Mu didn't feel tired, his daily exercise and good work and rest habits gave him plenty of physical strength and he didn't feel tired at all.

As soon as the Spring Festival passed, I returned to the capital and started working.

In addition to checking the previous filming, studying the script again, and going to some friends' houses to pay New Year's greetings.

On February 6, the day of the Lantern Festival, Li Mu came to the Beijing Rose Garden located in the north of Shahe Town, Changping District.

This is one of the most upscale residential areas in Beijing, with an average price of more than 60,000 square meters, and it is full of high-end villas in European style.

Although it is located between the 5th and 6th Ring Roads, it is a bit remote, but it is indeed the only villa area in the capital that is located in a university town.

The surrounding traffic includes Badaling Expressway, urban light rail and Sixth Ring Road under planning.

There are also natural scenic spots such as Badaling Great Wall, Beijing International Golf Course, Beijing Reignwood International Golf Course, Beijing Taiwei International Golf Course, Ming Tombs Scenic Area, Python Mountain National Forest Park, Jingmi Canal and so on.

Li Mu came to visit Yu Dong, chairman of Berner Group, who bought a luxury villa of more than 1,000 square meters here after he divorced his ex-wife and married actress Jin Qiaoqiao last year.

And according to him, the reason for choosing such a place is because Kim Jojo likes the name Rose Garden.

More than 10 million Maybach 62S played a role at this time, and the security guard just asked Li Mu which building he was going to and asked him to register before letting him in.

This is really a real world, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh, if he took a taxi or rode a bicycle here today, he would probably have to pick up people at the door of Donglai.

After asking the security guard how to get there, Li Mu drove to the door of Yu Dong's house.

The one who opened the door was Yu Dong's new wife Jin Qiaoqiao who had just passed not long ago, although this woman did not have a good reputation in the entertainment industry, but it had nothing to do with Li Mu, not to mention that she was now a guest at someone else's house.

After a few polite sentences, Li Mu changed his shoes and went in.

In the corridor, Li Mu glimpsed that the door next to him was open, and the room of about twenty square meters was like a supermarket, with rows of shelves.

However, these shelves are not a product, but a full of brand-name women's shoes, and even many brands Li Mu does not recognize, but looking at the style, it is not an ordinary shoe.

A special room is set aside for shoes, and it is estimated that there is a room for bags and clothes, Li Mu secretly guessed in his heart.

In the living room, Yu Dong was sitting on the sofa reading a document, and there were two laptops and a large pile of documents on the table.

"Yu Dong, you are really diligent, you don't forget your work during the New Year, and you're not afraid of your sister-in-law getting angry!" Li Mu was not polite, and sat down nearby.

Yu Dong put down the documents in his hand and said with a smile, "Li Mu is here, this New Year's Day is not called by Dong Yu Dong, and he is not working!"

"Then I'll call you Brother Yu, Brother Yu, are you here?" Li Mu said with a smile.

Looking at the documents in front of him, Yu Dong rubbed his swollen head, and said with a bitter face, "These are all last year's financial statements, there were a lot of movies produced by the company last year, and most of them were blockbusters, which were released in many overseas countries, and it was very troublesome to count the box office, but now all the shares have just been called, I have to see them one by one!"

Seeing Yu Dong complaining there, Li Mu felt funny, last year's Berner could be described as a bumper harvest, "God of Wealth Inn", "Eavesdropping 2", "Journey to the West: Daughter Country", "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" and other films have all achieved profitability, and it is estimated that the income of these movies alone is more than one billion.

And this does not include the distribution fee, coupled with the continuous explosion of the film market this year, the income of the theater chain is not low.

Last year, the sales of Bernard's cinema business exceeded 300 million, and this year it is estimated that there will be 500 million, plus the movies that have not suffered a big loss this year, even if the main distribution business Berner is removed, he can make more than a billion.

The issuance business has always accounted for more than 40 percent of the proportion in Bernard, and this year's profit is estimated to be no less than 2 billion.

Of course, the expenses will certainly not be small, and the money required to maintain a huge distribution network alone is not a small amount, not to mention the operating expenses of the theater.

The annual profit is more than 2 billion, which is already more than the annual profit of some of the world's top 500 companies.

However, this does not mean that Berner is already a Fortune 500 company, and this list is not ranked by pure profit.

The world's top 500 companies are ranked according to their annual revenue, and last year's 500th place had an annual revenue of nearly 20 billion meters, but the net profit was only 380 million meters, which was about the same as that of Bernard.

However, Berner's revenue is estimated to be less than one-tenth of others, and the wealth and impact created are completely incomparable.

Generally speaking, the new industry is larger than the traditional industry, the electronics industry is larger than the machinery industry, and the Internet industry is larger than the communication industry.

State Grid, Huaxia Railway Corporation, General Electric, these companies are not as profitable as Apple, but these companies stomp their feet and the whole country will tremble. In "House of Cards," Tusk influences the White House's decision-making and even personnel through a power outage, which is unimaginable for a highly profitable tech company.

Profit is largely indicative of a company's strength.

Moreover, at least 20 of the world's top 500 companies have negative annual profits, and Neon's Sony Group ranked 73rd in the world last year, with an annual profit of minus 3 billion meters.

The profit of the Edo Electric Power Company, which ranked 118th, turned out to be minus 14.5 billion yuan.

And British Petroleum, which ranks fourth in the world, has an annual profit of minus 3.7 billion meters.

Making a lot of money is not a big deal, and losing money is also the norm.

Jingdong, Tengxun, and a few years ago were not at a loss, and Ali was also in a state of loss before opening up the ecosystem, but such losses did not affect the expectations of the market and investors for them.

Burn money first and smash the market and customers, and how can you make money after the amount increases.

Didn't you see that in the next few years, Ma Yun and Ma Huateng, the two old horses, occupied the top three of the Chinese rich list for a long time
