Chapter 1495 1497【Retirement】

  The opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games shocked the world. Beautiful, unrivaled.

   Zhang Yimou won the title of "National Teacher" by directing this performance, which is more honorable than filming a hundred "Heroes".

  After the opening ceremony, when interviewed by reporters, Zhang Yimou also revealed the hero behind the scenes——Xiang Nan.

"Professor Cheng Jianjun designed most of the performance plans for this Olympic Games, and I just rehearsed them, so I think this credit should be shared with Professor Cheng and all team members." He said said to the reporters.

   Zhang Yimou's self-explosion has benefited Xiang Nandu a lot.

  For so many years, although Xiang Nan's works have been made into film and television dramas, but his title of the richest man in Chinese is really dazzling.

  So in the minds of many people, Xiang Nan is already a businessman through and through. When people think of businessmen, most of them have negative impressions, such as no profiteering but no business, a body full of money, and a fat brain.

  So in recent years, although Xiang Nan has become richer and richer, his image has become worse and worse, and he is no longer as noble as the previous writers.

  Now, with the exposure of the title of Chief Planner of the Olympic Opening Ceremony, Xiang Nan's reputation as a talented scholar has returned, and his reputation has improved again.

  …

   Entering 2009, Xiang Nan successively sold his shares in Jin Manying and Kunpeng Real Estate.

  Due to the successful hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games, China has gained a high reputation in the world, and even benefited greatly from its economic development.

  In 2008, the GDP growth rate reached 9%. In 2009, the GDP growth rate reached 9.4%. This is still under the influence of the subprime mortgage crisis. In contrast, the US GDP growth in 2008 was negative.

  As a result, affected by economic growth, the real estate and catering industries are booming, and the stock prices of major real estate companies and catering companies have soared.

  The market value of Kunpeng Real Estate rose from 105 billion in 2007 to 300 billion, and Jin Manying's market value also rose to 50 billion yuan.

  Xiang Nan is a major shareholder, and as the stock price soared, he naturally benefited a lot. And the market is so good, it also makes it much easier for him to sell stocks.

   Not only are too many investment institutions willing to take over the offer, but the stock price does not fluctuate too much, which is undoubtedly the best thing for Xiang Nan.

  After successive sell-offs, the funds in Xiang Nan's hands quickly expanded to tens of billions. In terms of the amount of cash alone, I am afraid it is the first in the world.

  …

   In 2010, Xiang Nan was already 60 years old, and he officially retired from Peking University.

  North Nature is very reluctant.

   Celebrities like Xiang Nan are of great significance to Peking University, and he is a banner of Peking University's literary world. How many talented people applied for Peking University because of him.

   Moreover, with him in Peking University, all his works, Peking University can be honored, which can be regarded as its achievements in the field of literary creation.

  But now that Xiang Nan is gone, these benefits will be gone.

   Therefore, the school tried its best to retain him. After Xiang Nan considered it, he only retained the title of honorary professor, and occasionally came to the school to give lectures and organize activities, and serious teaching was exempted.

  After all, after retirement, he still has a lot of things to do.

   Before leaving, Xiang Nan donated 5 billion RMB to Peking University. Among them, 4 billion will be used for scientific research, 800 million will be used for the studies of poor students, and the remaining 200 million will be used to establish army scholarships to reward those students who have made outstanding contributions in literature.

  The 5 billion donation is the largest donation ever received by a mainland university.

  When this news came out, Peking University was taken aback.

  Nowadays, Peking University’s financial appropriation for a year is less than three billion. Xiang Nan's donation is much more than the financial appropriation, which is really too rich.

   With this money, many projects can be launched in advance, and many projects can be studied in more depth. This will undoubtedly be extremely helpful to improve the scientific research strength of Peking University

   Therefore, it was very grateful for Xiang Nan's donation, and specially held a grand donation ceremony.

  …

"Students, seeing your youthful faces reminds me of when I was young. I was the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination in 1978. Before I was admitted to Peking University, I was an ordinary worker in Yili Food Factory. staff.

   It is Peking University that has endowed me with knowledge and molded my soul, which has allowed me to achieve such great achievements. It can be said that without it, I would not be me, so I am deeply grateful to Peking University,

  5 billion RMB donation, everyone said that this is a lot of money. But I think this money is too little compared to what Peking University bestowed on me.

  I hope this money can help the scientific research of Peking University, help the poor students of Peking University, and help the literary talents of Peking University, this can be regarded as my insignificant contribution to Peking University..." Xiang Nan stood on the stage and delivered a speech.

  His words moved every teacher and student present and gave them warm applause. After this video was posted on the Internet, Tsinghua University next door was about to cry.

  Five billion donations, this is really not a small amount. Colleges and universities across the country don’t necessarily receive so much social donations a year.

   This news even appeared on Weibo hot searches, causing netizens to sigh endlessly.

   "Five billion, my God. So much money, you can't earn it in hundreds of lifetimes."

   "He is really willing to donate so much money, I would never be willing to exchange it."

   "The key point is that even if people donate so much, it's just a drop in the bucket. Last year's Hurun Report's wealth list, his net worth reached 60 billion U.S. dollars."

   "The key is not only that the family is rich, but the daughter is also rich. The current valuation of Weibo has exceeded two billion US dollars."

  …

  After retiring in 2010, Xiang Nan focused his energy on the management of Kylin Films.

   Entering 2010, the film and television drama market in the mainland is becoming more and more prosperous. In 2009, the total box office of movies nationwide reached 6.2 billion RMB, a 42% increase compared to 2008.

  The market size of TV dramas has also reached 6 billion, but because of the intensified competition, it is becoming more and more difficult to make profits from TV dramas.

   Of the TV series produced each year, only 10% to 20% are earned, 10% are flat, and the remaining 70% are lost. Among them, 20% are lost.

   Therefore, in 2009, the production of domestic TV dramas decreased for the first time. In the whole year of 2008, more than 14,000 episodes of TV dramas were produced, with a total of 460 volumes. In 2009, the production of TV dramas dropped to more than 11,000 episodes and more than 300 titles.

   Even so, there are still more than 3,000 episodes that cannot be broadcast. Because the prime time of the TV station is limited, it can only accommodate more than 8,000 episodes at most.

  Excess production can only be sold to Internet video sites at a low price, or can only be sealed in the film library and wait for an opportunity to be released separately.

  However, because the quality of Kylin Films’ dramas has always been guaranteed, there has been no backlog for so many years, and each one can be sold at a high price. It is a rare company in the industry that has never lost money.

  Now that Xiang Nan is personally in charge, the probability of losing money is even lower.
