Winners in life: starting from the street writer

Chapter 143 Not Afraid of Burning Money
The press conference is over.

All the hot-search headlines in major domestic media were instantly covered by Shen Hao.

When other celebrities are complacent about endorsement of a luxury brand, Shen Hao has directly taken the luxury brand as his own. This operation is simply not too arrogant.

Many of Shen Hao's female fans can feel confident and bold this time.

Whether it is Hyatt Hotel, Prada, or Ferragamo, the sales have all increased significantly.

It can be seen that this wave of mergers is still very effective in promoting the performance of these brands.

Yin Tao, who rose to fame on the Langya list, was also directly selected by miumiu as the spokesperson for the Asian region.

For the sake of high-end brand endorsement, fans of many female artists don't want to fight with each other too often.

Resources like spokespersons are much more powerful than brand ambassadors and brand friends.

If it weren't for Shen Hao being the boss, miumiu wouldn't have chosen a rookie like Yin Tao as the spokesperson for the Asian region.

On Chen Ying's side, the brand ambassador of LV has already been awarded, but they are still in the three lines of fashion, jewelry, and watches. If you work hard, you will be promoted to the spokesperson soon.

Zegna and Prada, Ferragamo almost couldn't wait to announce immediately that Shen Hao will be the global spokesperson of his own brand, not some Asian spokesperson.

Including Hyatt's spokesperson, Shen Hao's schedule should not be too full.

This kind of happy trouble is difficult for all stars to refuse.

Ferragamo and Hyatt are okay, they can only be regarded as ordinary luxury brands in the eyes of the public.

But Prada and Zegna are the top luxury in the hearts of many stars.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zegna's position in the men's clothing brand is the most luxurious.

Prada has declined in recent years, but it still stands on the dividing line of top luxury.

In addition to being busy with filming, Shen Hao also took time to check and accept the property rights of the two properties rewarded for this upgrade.

Many locals have heard of Century Center in Hangzhou, and some jokingly call it "big underpants".

In any case, Century Center is also the tallest building in Hangzhou, and the construction cost alone reached 88 billion.

If you count the decoration, 100 billion is a safe bet.

The two 63-story twin towers are 310 meters high and are expected to meet the office needs of 15000 people after completion.

For Powehi, which is expanding rapidly today, it can be said that the time is right.

The first building in Xixi can accommodate about 8000 people for office work, adding up to 23000 people.

Powehi does not need to expand its business blindly. The scale of 3 to [-] people is enough for the current Powehi to meet the office needs.

For short video platforms, recruiting a large number of content reviewers is a basic operation.

Many videos are passed in the content review process, and there is no chance of being seen by users at all.

Like Byte, there are more than 2 content auditors alone, and these people are also included in the scope of formal employees.

Besides content moderators, the biggest hire is for the ad sales team.

The number of people in this area is almost no less than that of content reviewers.

Even the HR team, now Powehi has nearly 1000 people, and 500 technical department employees provide support for it.

Summarize the information of cooperative recruitment platforms such as Maimai and BOSS Zhipin.

At the same time, newly recruited HR and interns need to manually search for resumes on various platforms. A team of 5-6 people needs to find about 200 resumes per day on average.

Technical screening, manual collection, and cooperative headhunting delivery, all resumes will be entered into Powehi's talent pool, and there are currently more than 5 copies.

HR directly searches in the talent pool to quickly find candidates.

Newly joined Powehi employees do not have the closed training similar to the goose factory, and do not need to spend too much time figuring out what they need to do.

He will receive an email from the Powehi human resources system before he joins the job, guiding him through the entry process step by step.

All employees can enjoy a subsidy of 50 yuan for lunch, and the company's fruits and snacks are all imported products for free.

Among them, the fruits that cannot be eaten will be recycled directly that night.

Some female employees also take the company's fruit home for dinner.

If you stay and work overtime, you will also have an extra meal allowance of 50 yuan and a taxi subsidy of 50 yuan at night.

In addition, the commissioner level receives 1000 monthly rent subsidies, the supervisor level is 2000, the manager level is 3000, and the director level is 5000.

The office environment is superior, and the benefits are not bad compared to many large factories. Such a company should not be too easy to recruit people.

The other property is located on the front beach of the Shanghai Metropolis, which is considered to be the last piece of valuable land in Lujiazui.

Jingyao Qiantan, located in the core of Qiantan, is an urban complex project integrating office, commerce and residence.

The total construction area is about 35.7 square meters, including 19.9 international Grade A office buildings of 6 square meters, a brand-new shopping center of 6.8 square meters, and high-quality residential buildings.

The price of office buildings is calculated at 6 yuan per square meter, and the value of office buildings alone is 120 billion.

Not to mention Jingyao Ming Mansion, a small two-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters can be sold for more than [-] million yuan. At a price of [-]+ per square meter, it is hard to find a room.

The property rights of the entire Jingyao Qiantan are worth at least 200 billion.

But with Hyatt and other brands being rewarded first, Shen Hao's mentality has been able to be very stable.

Shen Hao intends to use Jingyao Qiantan as the headquarters of Powehi's magic city, echoing the headquarters in Hangzhou, and can also provide 1 jobs.

These days, if you don't enclose land with investors' money, it seems that you are sorry for the reputation of Internet companies.

Under the instruction of Shen Hao, Zhi Yinghao invested 146 billion yuan to bid for two plots in the southern section of Yangpu Binjiang, covering a total area of ​​about 18 square meters, and the transaction floor price is about 22600 yuan/㎡.

For Powehi today, the advertising revenue in this quarter alone is expected to reach about 200 billion, and the live broadcast will also bring in nearly 80 billion in a quarter.

Buying a piece of land is nothing to Powehi.

All cities are very welcome to Internet companies, not to mention the high-valued companies like Powehi, whose land prices are definitely the kind that real estate companies are envious of.

The headquarters built on these two lands is expected to have a construction area of ​​65 square meters, which can accommodate 2 people.

In addition to the 1 people on Jingyao Qiantan, 3 people at the headquarters of the Shanghai Capital is enough.

The task of designing the headquarters for Powehi was directly handed over by Shen Hao to Ma Helan. The Grand Hyatt Group was previously owned by the Pritzker family.

The Nobel Prize in architecture is the Pritzker Prize. It is conceivable how close the Pritzker family and the Hyatt Group are to these top architects. Many hotels are designed by these award-winning masters.

During the filming process, Shen Hao would occasionally communicate with the designers in person, communicating his concepts and ideas with several talented designers.

The final reported budget made Boss Shen feel a little distressed.

100 billion!

Even with Powehi's earning power, it is not a small pressure.

Who made their complex have a construction area of ​​65, and the cost is not outrageous.

After Shen Hao signed, the news that Powehi's new headquarters will cost 100 billion was also officially announced.

In the end, the design submitted by SOM was approved by Boss Shen.

Two twin towers with a height of 500 meters are connected by an air corridor in the middle, just across a road in the middle of the two lands.

The shape of the building on the left is like a budding "Magnolia", and the right is like a lighthouse. The streamlined surface reflects the elements of the Jiangnan water town, forming a dynamic outline, like standing water ripples.

As the saying goes, the more beautiful the design, the more expensive it will be.

In addition, Shen Hao is not short of money, and he chose the top team in the industry to produce.

For example, the curtain wall consultant of the project is from the famous Schmidlin, whose representative work is the seven-star hotel Arabian Towers in Dubai.

The lighting consultant is the BPI responsible for the lighting transformation of the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

The landscape design is the ASLAD winner and the landscape design team TROP Landscape Design Office from Thailand.

When the Powehi headquarters is completed, it will surely become another super landmark building in Shanghai.

Even with the most ideal construction period, it will take close to 1500 days and more than four years to deliver.

But the question is, why did Shen Hao wait for so long.

The system considerately provides the function of shortening the construction period. If the construction period is reduced by 1 day, 100 million needs to be deducted.

Shen Hao directly spent 10 billion yuan to shorten the original 1500-day construction period to 500 days.

Money can even buy time.

Seeing that the construction period has been reduced to 500 days, Shen Hao is quite satisfied, and it will not drive him crazy like 1500 days.

No matter how little it is, there is no need for it, and the financial report expenditure will not be easy to explain at that time.

After being acquired by Summit Group, the sales of several brands such as Prada in the Chinese market have significantly increased slightly.

Although these luxury brands are usually awesome, none of them are willing to lose the Chinese market.

In recent years, the Chinese market has accounted for 40% of global luxury sales.

After Shen Hao arranged for manpower to enter several brands, the original family owners gradually retired.

On the surface, they still hold positions like president, but secretly, the power of the company has quietly changed hands.

According to the model of each brand, one creative director, and one CEO, Shen Hao's control over several brands has been strengthened a lot.

For luxury brands, the creative director is the soul, and the CEO is the brain that handles the company's specific daily affairs.

Now the soul and brain have been replaced by Shen Hao's people, and the strategy of boiling the frog in warm water has been implemented smoothly.

Prada, Zegna, Ferragamo, miumiu, Hyatt, use up 10 top talent recruitment rolls.

Among them, miumiu, as a sub-brand of Prada Group, is positioned in the light luxury category, and was split out by Shen Hao.

In the future, other affordable luxury brands will be acquired and will be integrated with miumiu.

Hyatt does not need a creative director. In addition to arranging a CEO, Lin Shen specially installed a CFO to manage the financial status of the Hyatt Group.

This means that 30 quotas were rewarded for the upgrade, otherwise Shen Hao would not be willing to use it like this.

Today's Summit Group is the fourth largest group in the luxury goods sector, after LVMH, Richemont, and Kering.

In the short term, there must be no big moves.

……

The system rewarded him with light-year capital. It is a small company with less than 20 employees, but it holds an astonishing wealth of 10 billion US dollars, and there will be more and more in the future.

For the first investment, you must choose a project with appreciation potential.

Shen Hao found Zhang Youfeng, which made the helm of Yuanmeng Manga a little uneasy.

Among the many businesses under the boss's hands now, it seems that the valuation of Yuanmeng Comics is the lowest, which makes him very embarrassing.

But there is no way, the domestic comic market is not very mature, and the number of users who are willing to pay is not as large as the number of novels.

If it weren't for the big tree of Yuanmeng Group, Yuanmeng comics wouldn't be able to last for so long.

Fortunately, there are Lin Lu and Su Manman in Yuanmeng comics. They are indeed top-notch cartoonists. The quality of their serialized comics is very high, and they even have a tendency to break the circle.

Seeing that Zhang Youfeng was so nervous, Shen Hao waved his hands with a smile, "It's a good thing to call you here. The 1500 million US dollars I gave you at the beginning are almost spent now, right?"

Hearing what Shen Hao said, Zhang Youfeng felt relieved immediately, and cried poorly, "Boss Mingjian, you also know that the cost of subsidizing cartoonists and platform users is not low. If it weren't for a while ago, Yuanmeng Video purchased Lin Lu and Manman's comic copyright, we can't hold it anymore."

"I'll give you 2 million US dollars, is that enough this time?"

With a wave of his hand, Shen Hao said two hundred million.

"Uh, enough, enough!"

Zhang Youfeng's expression was blank for a few seconds, and he immediately realized that he was afraid that Shen Hao would regret it.

Unfortunately, he thought that the boss had acquired several luxury brands, and he might not have enough funds, so he didn't have the nerve to ask for money.

Looking at it now, the boss is afraid that a bank that prints unlimited money is supporting him, right?
"The valuation is calculated based on 10 billion US dollars. When you go back, people from Light Year Capital will come to you. You can discuss the details."

Shen Hao's psychological expectation for Yuanmeng Comics is no less than 20 billion US dollars valuation. With those IPs of Yuanmeng Literature and Yuanmeng Comics assisted by top cartoonists, there is no reason to lose to Kuaikan Comics.

Sure enough, after he made this investment, the system immediately gave a full score evaluation.

After all, the return on this investment will not be less than double, far exceeding the 5% return on investment required by the system.

For the remaining 8 million US dollars, Shen Hao spent all of it on Mayfly Financial Services to ease the subsidy pressure of Mayfly Financial Services.

This investment is still recognized by the system, after all, it is based on financing of 100 billion US dollars.

With the potential of Mayfly Financial Services, doubling the valuation is a basic operation for the next financing.

"Congratulations on completing your first investment, this investment performance is perfect, and the current level is a well-known investor!"

"According to your last investment performance, your Light Year Capital has completed fundraising of 50 billion US dollars, and the return on investment this time must not be lower than 10%. Repeated investment in the same company is not allowed!"

Good guy, $50 billion?
Shen Hao was amazed, this might not be the fund-raising ability that only the top VCs can possess.

But for the last request, Shen Hao sat on the wax in an instant. He wanted to continue to invest in Mayfly Golden Clothes, but now the system directly blocked this road.

But several other companies have just completed financing.

What's more, 50 billion US dollars is really not a small amount.

By the way, why don't we build cars too?

These days, almost all groups with some strength are not greedy for the tram market.

Huawei, Evergrande, Xiaomi, Baidu...

To be reasonable, for these big groups, as long as they have money, it is enough to build a car.

Although it is said that "there is a near death in car building, most of them are just dying", but the temptation of success will still attract the continuous influx of capital.

Today, Weilai has squeezed into the center of the car-making stage, sharing a spoonful of the auto market with fuel vehicles, enjoying countless flowers and applause.

Others such as Aian, Leapao, and Nezha have also begun to expand their market size.

Not to mention Tesla, whose market value and sales are flying together amidst doubts.

Perhaps the success of the company is too dazzling, so that the latecomers are like moths to the flame.

According to public data, there are currently more than 100 companies in the "new car" field.

Everyone understands the principle of "losing money before building a car". Mr. Lei said bluntly: "We can afford to lose money. Xiaomi has accumulated a balance of 10 billion yuan in the past 1080 years."

Even they can afford it, and Shen Hao, who owns the system, has no reason not to get involved.

Important person, Shen Hao now has 20 top talent recruitment papers in his hand, recruiting a group of top talents in minutes, and hammering those rubbish brands that have burned billions of dollars and can't even make a car.

If you want money, there is nowhere to use the 50 billion US dollars of Light Year Capital.

Thinking of this, Shen Hao made a decisive decision that Yuanmeng Group will also enter the new energy track!
