Chapter 252 US$3.3 billion on the 2004 China Rich List

After shaking hands with Liu Dehua, hugging and whispering a few polite words, Jiang Liu took the certificate and the trophy and walked to the microphone.

He didn't prepare any high-quality acceptance speech. He had listened too much in the past two days, so he simply said:

"Thank you to all the actors, director Jiang Wen, Korean actors Bae Doona, Lu Yi, Du Yuan, Xiaotong. On behalf of all the actors, I also thank everyone for their votes."

"I think that if Chinese films want to truly develop, they must rely on the unremitting efforts of all colleagues on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and four places, and persist in your love. We all work together to make good films. Thank you all!"

The unremarkable speech received a round of applause, and Jiang Liu walked off the stage with a steady pace.

To this day, not many people care whether Jiang Liu has carefully prepared a glossy speech.

What many directors in the audience really care about is how much money Yixin has and whether Jiang Liu is willing to invest in their movies.

Therefore, at the subsequent banquet, many directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places drank several glasses of wine and put aside their prejudices and took the initiative to exchange business cards and chat with Jiang Liu.

Peter Chan took the lead in sitting on the edge of the river and talked about the old Hong Kong movie "Horse" and wanted to adapt it and make a new movie.

"The Movie" is indeed a good movie, but losing money can also kill people. With a salary of nearly 1 million yuan, Li was destined not to invest in it.

Jiang Liu did not refuse explicitly and asked Chen Kexin to submit the script to the Yixin Investment Committee at that time.

Just after chatting with Chen Kexin, Mr. Han and John Woo came together.

John Woo came back from Hollywood. The first thing he did when he came back was to prepare for the filming of "Red Cliff". Mr. Han was ready to give his full support and asked Jiang Liu to share the risk.

Jiang Liu's head shook like a rattle: "A budget of 5000 million US dollars? If you don't invest, you don't have that much money."

Jiang Liu wasn't sure how much the total production cost of "Red Cliff" was, but he thought it was definitely more than $5000 million.

Yixin is preparing to shoot "Pirates 2" this year, with a production budget of over 1 million.

"Red Cliff" has such a big scene, so many people on the crew, and the salaries of many big-name stars. The production fee of 5000 million is definitely not enough, and the profit is limited.

Mr. Han smiled and pointed at Jiang Liu: "Why are you so modest? You came early today and didn't have time to watch the news?"

Jiang Liu frowned and said, "I don't have the habit of watching the news in the morning."

"You have so much money that you don't even understand it, you can't figure it out!"

"I don't understand, Mr. Han, please elaborate?" Jiang Liu was even more puzzled.

“福布斯2004华夏富豪榜200名富豪完全名单，伱以3.3亿美元排在24位，你下面是比你小两岁，以23岁年纪3.27亿美元财富排名25位的李兆会。”

Jiang Liu just spit out a mouthful of old blood, this is such a stupid pig-killing list.

The key is, does he really have so much money?

The two companies under the name of Dajiang Dahe are indeed doing prosperously, but many things require investment first and then profit.

Yixin has indeed developed well this year.

He made two popular projects, "Super Girl" and the movie "Monster". Both projects were reported by the media and many people knew that they made a lot of money and were extremely profitable.

However, a lot of profits have not yet returned to the company's accounts.

Several local theater chains are spending a lot of money on it.

The sales performance of Gengtian Gong Herbal Tea in 2004 was indeed very gratifying, exceeding the 10 billion yuan mark and reaching 14.3 billion yuan. However, the cost is not low. This thing does not mean that you can earn as much as you sell.

Among the major products of the Chunchun series, yogurt and cold drink milk cakes have been the best sellers this year, with some profits.

The sales of pure milk and milk powder are hard to describe and can be completely ignored.

If the investment costs of the four major products are included, the pure alcohol series will make no profit at all in the first year of its launch. Jiang Liu took stock of his two major industries in a short period of time, and he found that he did not have a net worth of more than 20 billion.

Yi Xin's money is flowing money. Whatever you earn this year, you will spend most of it the next year.

Gengtian Gong Herbal Tea is his most profitable company, but it is by no means enough to make him worth more than 20 billion.

If you include equipment, production lines, company development potential, shares in his hands, real estate, and the No. 20 land parcel in Nancheng, Jiang Liu feels that his net worth is more than billion yuan.

To put it bluntly, he was dissatisfied with the Forbes gang who set him on fire.

There are many people in the country who are richer than him, but he doesn't believe that everyone is on the "pig-killing list."

Holding back his unhappiness, Jiang Liu grinned awkwardly: "I am already so rich, and on such an occasion as the first Directors Association, I should support Director Wu's first work after returning to China, 3000 million, right? , what do Mr. Han and Director Wu think?"

John Woo smiled and extended his hand: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your support."

"Introduction to Wu is serious, it's all for Chinese movies." Jiang Liuyan said sincerely.

After learning that he was on the pig-killing list, Jiang Liu ate a few bites of food, drank a few glasses of wine and hurriedly left the venue. He was not allowed to be watched like a monkey if he stayed any longer.

After getting in the car, Jiang Liu contacted Ji Nan without saying anything.

Let her communicate with the boss behind the Forbes list as much as possible. He does not want to be on the list again next year. He would rather spend some money to operate in secret than let him be judged by others on the list again.

"Boss, what are you afraid of? The Rong Zhijian family, which ranks first, has US$15 billion. Chen Tianqiao and Ding Lei, who make games, both have more than US$10 billion. You only have US$3.3 million. I think it's too little."

"There are four people above you in the capital. In terms of your ancestral home, you are actually the richest person in Jiangsu Province."

Jiang Liu was furious: "Stop talking nonsense and try to contact people quickly. I will definitely not be on the list next year. Dajiang Dahe is not a listed company and has no obligation to release financial reports to the public. I myself have no such obligation."

"Okay, boss, I will handle this matter immediately, but I can't guarantee that they will agree. After all, their head office is in Yingjiang and Huaxia is a branch."

"Go to serious negotiations."

Jiang Liu hung up the phone angrily.

But before he could get off the train, his cell phone rang again.

"You were on Sina Internet News. You are ranked 24th on the China Rich List."

"On the first Forbes Celebrity List, you ranked third on the Chinese Celebrity List. The first one was Yao Ming, the second was Zhang Ziyi, and those below you were Wang Fei, Gong Li, and Zhang Yimou."

"Among them, you rank eleventh with a personal income of 1900 million yuan."

"I'm just making it up. I was only paid a few million for "Monster". How can I make that much money? I'm just messing with his uncle."

On the phone, Li Xing said dissatisfiedly: "Don't use bad words. I'll hang up first. I guess there will be a lot of people looking for you now."

"I'm going to shut down my phone and go to Feiyun Province to hide in the mountains. Are you going to spend the New Year with me on the crew in Lu Province this year, or are you going to go back to your hometown?"

"I will go back to my hometown in Northeast China with Li Wei first, and then go to Shandong Province to accompany you."

"It doesn't matter, you can make up your own mind."

After ending the call, without waiting for Jiang Liu to turn off his phone, another call came in. Seeing that it was Li Qin, he couldn't help but answer it.

"Did something happen to you in the capital? Your dad, Tingting and I were having lunch. Many people were rushing home to eat, and they were talking in a roundabout way. Your dad was still with you, so I made excuses. I’ll call you when I go back to my room.”

"Don't worry, nothing happened. I just accidentally became the richest man in Jiangsu Province."
