"Brother Hurun, you are putting me on the fire this time!"
In the luxurious office on the 50th floor of the Ruixiang Building, Zhang Yida started to complain about Hurun when he saw him for the first time.
When Hurun saw Zhang Yida smiling when he said this, he knew that the other person was not angry.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, you have a quality that outstanding Chinese entrepreneurs have, and that is humility!"
This Englishman is very good at talking! He also speaks Chinese very well. Regardless of his appearance, I really don’t think he is a foreigner.
Zhang Yida laughed and said: "Mr. Hu, you have truly understood the essence of our Chinese culture!"
Think about it, Hurun is able to thrive in China, how could it not understand China's culture and national conditions?
Hurun said: "Chinese culture is vast and profound, and I have only learned a little bit about it. The more I understand, the more obsessed I am with this 5,000-year-old splendid civilization!"
After saying that, Hurun looked very intoxicated!
Zhang Yida smiled and said nothing. He spoke so nicely, he must have deceived the Chinese people, right?
Seeing that Zhang Yida was unmoved, Hurun asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, don't you believe it?"
"No, no," Zhang Yida waved his hand, "I just feel a little emotional that Mr. Hu, a foreigner, admires Chinese culture so much.
But many people in our country look down on their own motherland, which is heartbreaking!"
Hurun nodded and said: "The problem you mentioned does exist. I have met many Chinese people who praise how good Britain is.
But in fact, I think China is a very great country, and you are on the right path of great rejuvenation!"
Hurun recalled the past and said: "When I was in middle school at Eton College, I went to Japan as an exchange student for a year.
I was very interested in Japanese culture at the time. Later I learned that the origin of Japanese culture is China.
More than a thousand years ago, during the Tang Dynasty of China, Japan sent many "envoys to the Tang Dynasty" to study in China and learn various Chinese cultures and advanced technologies."
"Yes, that was one of the most powerful dynasties in Chinese history."
Zhang Yida sighed and added: "If I have the opportunity in the future, I plan to shoot a movie or TV series about the Tang Dynasty to recall that dreamlike era!"
"It's released, please be sure to give me a movie ticket!"
Hurun went on to say: "The Chinese character that impressed me most is "male". I analyzed that the character "male" in the Chinese character for man is composed of "天" and "力", which is both vivid and profound. I think it is simply
It’s so awesome!
Since then, I have determined to learn Chinese well and study Chinese thoroughly!"
Hurun spread his hands and said, "Of course, Chinese culture has a long history. What I have learned so far is only a rough understanding of it! I may not be able to study it thoroughly in my lifetime.
However, I have no regrets! The most correct decision I have ever made in my life is to learn Chinese!”
Zhang Yida glanced at Hurun, of course you don't regret it. In China, you have achieved both fame and fortune. In your hometown in the UK, is such a good thing possible?
Hurun continued to tell his story, "In 1990, I came to Renmin University of China to study abroad and learn Chinese.
At that time, I became the foreign student who spoke the best Chinese in the entire Renmin University.
At that time, China's annual GDP growth exceeded 10%. I was deeply attracted to this land.
After graduation, I stayed in China and became an accountant at Arthur Andersen.
Then, in my spare time, I compiled the 1999 list of mainland China's richest people. This decision also changed my life..."
Through the conversation, Zhang Yida had a general understanding of Hurun's life trajectory.
He is indeed a character. He came to China at the age of 20 and stayed in China after graduation. Through hard work and certain opportunities, he gradually reached where he is today.
"China's reform and opening up has transformed a group of people who once carried farm tools into private entrepreneurs who have made money legally with a faucet cane. These people are the "first generation of rich people who stand at the top of China's wealth."
Hurun's words changed, "China's new generation of technology entrepreneurs, represented by IT tycoons such as Mr. Zhang, Jack Ma, Bonima and other IT tycoons, are gradually replacing the first generation of wealthy people.
Through these changes, it can also be seen that China is moving from a manufacturing power to a high-end technology field.
I infer that China will become even more prosperous and powerful in the future!"
If you can speak, just say more!
Zhang Yida felt that it was quite pleasant to chat with Hurun. Although the other party seemed to be trying to sell things, his general views were still very realistic.
After all, the other party has lived in China for nearly thirty years, and it is not in vain. In addition, he also knows many Chinese entrepreneurs and has a very clear understanding of China's economy, culture, and society.
"Mr. Hu, have you ever thought about launching a new list?"
Hurun suppressed his curiosity and asked calmly: "What list?"
He guessed that Zhang Yida wanted to start some cooperation with him? Then this kind of good opportunity to make money should not be missed!
"Ranking of college beauties!"
Hu Run scratched his head and said, "Mr. Zhang, are you kidding?"
"I'm not kidding, I'm serious. Ruixiang has recently developed a campus social software and is planning to join forces with DouShi short video platform to promote it on university campuses."
Hurun said nothing and began to think.
Will creating this college beauty ranking have any impact on the brand of Hurun Ranking?
In addition to the rich list, his Hurun rankings have also developed many sub-lists, including: "rich women", "self-made rich", "young rich" and a series of lists.
In the past two years, charity rankings, unicorn rankings, and art rankings have also been produced.
In the early years, when the money-making was at its peak, the Hurun Wealth Report - Nanning, Sichuan and Chongqing Rich List, Hurun Wealth Summit and Zhejiang Business Development New Trend Forum, and 2011 Shandong Billionaires were launched successively.
"Millionaire Ranking", "Wealth and Investment of Northeast Rich People" and other local lists.
The reason why he promotes so many lists is to earn more advertising sponsorships.
In addition, he also organizes various activities, including serious exhibition forums, charity dinners, and pure "money-burning" parties.
Using these activities, he attracted sponsors, invited well-connected entrepreneurs to sit down, and also provided opportunities for those who wanted to "climb the dragon and join the phoenix".
Zhang Yida wanted to create a ranking list of school beauties. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to deviate from the theme of "wealth" or "enterprise"!
"Mr. Zhang, this university beauty ranking does not match the brand of Hurun Ranking!"
Zhang Yida laughed and said, "What's the mismatch? Social software and DouShi platform are responsible for the release of content and the selection of school beauties."
What the Hurun Rankings have to do is to count the popularity of the campus beauties of various universities and finally come up with a ranking.
Very simply, our campus social software can also reach long-term cooperation with the Hurun Rankings, name the rankings, and be selected once a year on the university campus."
Zhang Yida wanted to say: Brother, stop pretending. I know everything about you, and you don’t mind working on the real estate platform.
Why do you still dislike this ranking of school beauties?
In the early years, in addition to fancy chart-making, Hurun also used various tricks, which was not much different from those retired Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.
Everyone is starting to play the game of market sinking. Even though they don’t have much money, they can add up to a lot!
Zhang Yida heard that Hurun was invited to provide a platform for the real estate, including the cost of organizing the event, which totaled more than 2 million yuan.
Hurun is quite hard-working. It performs dozens of acupuncture tours a year and participates in various business forums. It earns hard-earned money.
As soon as Hurun heard that it was going to be the title sponsor, his attitude immediately changed.
"Since you have said so, Mr. Zhang, then I will give it some thought.
Now is the era of entertainment to death. I believe everyone is a little tired of just some wealth rankings and corporate rankings.
There seems to be no precedent in China for university beauty rankings, right?"
Get on the road!
Zhang Yida finally understood that Hurun was a businessman through and through!
I've been wasting my time talking about it for a long time. If I had known, I would have talked about naming the title!
"Yes, there is no precedent in China! If we make it, we will be the first to try it!"
Hurun nodded, "Then we need to plan carefully and how to do it to achieve the highest popularity!"
“You don’t have to worry too much about publicity, we will let DouShi and social software platforms work together.
What your Hurun rankings have to do is track data.
Let’s start with a university selection, and the winner will participate in the city selection, then the province, and then the whole country!”
Hurun asked again: "What about the selection criteria? Do you only look at faces?"
Zhang Yida thought for a while and said: "We need to add some talent shows! We will probably also invite on-site judges! Today's P-picture technology is so powerful, you still have to see the real person to feel at ease!"
"That's no problem! When do we start working?"
Hurun was even more attentive than Zhang Yida, and in the blink of an eye he started asking about the time when the work would be carried out.
Zhang Yida smiled and said: "Don't worry! It will be next month. Then several parties will work together to successfully organize the event."
Hurun nodded and added: "I think we can also make some certificates, medals and other commendation items.
Of course, it would be better if there are material rewards!"
Zhang Yida thinks Hurun’s suggestion is quite good. To make an event attractive, you must provide some attractive rewards.
"Don't worry about this, this event will be a lively event.
And we can also divide it into multiple lists. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, etc. can all be listed separately.
People with good looks can also make a separate list! If they are mainly judged based on their looks, I'm afraid they will be criticized for being superficial.
We should give some opportunities to other girls who are not good-looking but have outstanding talents!"
Zhang Yida is also thinking about whether he will receive some bad criticism if he holds such an event. For example: Women’s Boxing Warning!
If it were purely a beauty pageant, then one hundred percent would be scolded to death.
If it were a PK of various talents, at least it would have some connotation!
The reason for holding such an event is also for the content of DouShi and campus social software.
In this day and age, you can’t retain users without content!
Gaomeng APP has stopped the merchant promotion of Mobao Pay and will withdraw from the stage of history.
Zhang Yida felt it was a pity that so many targeted college student users could not be wasted, so he wanted to socialize on campus a few times.
