The celebratory banquet invited media, as well as employees from various companies under Qi Hao's name.

It's equivalent to a company annual meeting.

They even invited a few singers to perform.

Actually, it's not too flashy, compared to Mrs. Hua's events, it falls short.

Mrs. Hua not only has annual meetings, but also has Hua Night, Hua team-building events, Hua fashion celebrations... every year, she holds numerous activities, especially after going public, showing considerable wealth.

Qi Hao's side doesn't even frequently hold the annual company meetings that should occur every year.

Last year's annual meeting, because the boss couldn't find the time, the event budget was simply bundled and given to employees as a year-end bonus.

In truth, not all employees liked the boss's arrangement.

The bosses thought they were providing welfare to employees, increasing cohesion, in reality, it might as well be converted to cash given to employees.

However, having no collective activities for a long time isn't good.

Qi Hao's employees also need a sense of collective honor.

This year, the company was incredibly successful, from Donghao Venture Capital to West Hao Animation Film and Television, then to Zhonghao Entertainment, and to Feiyang Media, all are shining brilliantly.

Everyone wants to see how big their boss's business blueprint actually is.

Are we considered a top company?

The premiere of "Let the Bullets Fly" didn't have a red carpet, so naturally, the celebratory banquet won't have that either.

However, Qi Hao released so many movies this year, all achieved great success, covering many people both in front and behind the scenes.

Especially "Lost on Journey".

Qi Hao invited many rumored ex-girlfriends for cameos.

When you invite someone, you say all kinds of nice things, you can't not invite them to the celebration just because they have few scenes, right?

Invitation letters must be sent properly.

And those who collaborated before, like Wan Qian, Wang Qianyuan, etc., whether they come or not is their business, you can't exclude them just because there was no collaboration this year.

Additionally, there are those who actively wanted to join the fun.

They might express their desire to congratulate Qi Hao's movies through their agents or agencies.

When they take the initiative, it would be over the top to shut them out.

So, as the date of the celebratory banquet approaches, this impulsively arranged banquet has sent out a mass of invitations.

Even people from Zheng Mansion have come.

Thinking back, when Wang Jinghua was still here, Mrs. Hua's star lineup was indeed many times stronger than now.

If organizing a team-building event, celebrities from the entertainment industry would surely compete to come, even slightly famous artists might not have the qualification to attend.

Wang Jinghua left, taking away a large number of top stars.

The likes of Fan Xuexue, Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming, Wang Baoqiang, who rose later... all left Mrs. Hua one by one.

Now with Mrs. Hua, star gatherings seem rather "humble".

In contrast, it's obvious who is the leading film company in Inner Entertainment.

According to Wang Chongjun, this year has been a particularly glorious year for them in the film market, with one blockbuster movie after another.

Unfortunately, Zhonghao has emerged.

Comparing awards won or box office records, Mrs. Hua suffers a complete defeat in front of Zhonghao.

Many times you have to believe in something like luck.

The usually money-losing Jiang Wen, with Qi Hao's investment in "Let the Bullets Fly", unexpectedly saw a huge box office success.

Not only did Jiang Wen make money, but Zhonghao also gained both fame and fortune.

And "Let the Bullets Fly" isn't even Zhonghao's highest-grossing film this year.

With a cost of one hundred million, a box office of six to seven hundred million, the profit could be slightly more than one hundred million, Qi Hao held 50%, his share didn't even reach one hundred million.

Meanwhile, "Those Years" in Asia grossed one billion.

"Uncle" in Asia grossed 1.2 billion.

The costs of these two movies aren't high, only in the tens of millions, the profits here are astonishing.

Industry insiders say Zhonghao's achievements in one year are equivalent to Mrs. Hua's ten years.

It's no joke.

If Zhonghao plans to go public next year, it could immediately halve Mrs. Hua's stock price.

This time, Qi Hao's side held a celebratory banquet, naturally inviting Mrs. Hua.

Mrs. Hua couldn't possibly not come.

Never lose face.

Everyone operates companies in the capital, even if it's a competitive relationship, one must at least maintain basic dignity.

The celebratory banquet starts promptly at five in the afternoon.

Qi Hao didn't arrive too late, but not especially early either.

Certainly not dressed in a suit and bow tie, welcoming all the guests at the door with An Feng.

In the cold weather, why suffer through that?

Qi Hao is no longer in the startup phase; now, having achieved success, naturally doesn't need to care too much about doing things for appearance's sake.

Those who arrived early were all socializing.

Lei Jun at the scene was like a bright light bulb, making it hard for anyone to ignore this legendary figure.

Recently, his new company received financing from Donghao Venture Capital, with a valuation of 250 million US Dollars in Round A. Although it's unclear if this is the highest Round A valuation, it indeed attracted the whole industry's attention.

Originally, Qi Hao's side was holding a celebratory banquet, nothing to do with him.

Why does he just love to join the fun.

After arriving at the venue, he hyped things up, making others think he wanted to enter the entertainment industry.

"Old Lei, what's this?"

Qi Hao was somewhat surprised when he saw him.

Of course, he was still very polite to Lei Jun, after all, this big shot is now working for him.

"Better call me President Lei. When you call me Old Lei, I always feel tired. I'm here to find you. I'm planning to set up an investment company. Are you interested in being a shareholder?"

Lei Jun actually preferred to join Donghao Venture Capital.

But after doing some research, he realized that this idea was unrealistic.

If you lend a hand when others need it, it's like sending charcoal in the snow.

But if you want to take advantage when they've succeeded, it's called picking peaches.

Donghao Venture Capital is now extremely powerful, with Qi Hao alone being a whole army, not needing anyone else to meddle.

Lei Jun also didn't realize that he couldn't be accepted by Donghao Venture Capital.

So, he sought another path.

He planned to establish a startup company to get some money and capital relations from Qi Hao.

No matter if it's above or below.

The relationship that occurs is genuine.

"Sure..."

Qi Hao didn't hesitate much, nodding when he heard his words.

The other venture capitals are basically private equity.

Everyone makes money together, takes risks together, managed by professionals.

Qi Hao's venture capital company, Donghao Venture Capital, is a personal investment company, but he has also entrusted it to a professional for management.

This person is Tongzi.

Tongzi is my steward.

"You've agreed just like that?"

Lei Jun felt incredible, as he had prepared a lot of arguments, and even his secretary had brought documents.

But Qi Hao didn't even give him a chance to convince him.

He didn't even start talking, and Qi Hao already agreed.

"Since I believe in President Lei's Xiaomi, naturally, I also trust President Lei's investment capabilities. With that, what is there to hesitate about? At most, I could deliberately make things a bit difficult and let President Lei offer more benefits, but investment is a long-term matter. I think if you want a long-term partnership, you have to be honest with each other."

What Qi Hao said was partly true and partly false.

He obtained Xiaomi's business information from the system, covering Xiaomi, Lei Jun, the mobile phone industry, etc.

He naturally knew that Lei Jun was very skilled in investment.

It's just that due to incomplete information, he didn't know what industries Lei Jun had invested in, but knowing that he had this talent was enough.

Unfortunately, Lei Jun was no longer a fish in a pond.

Otherwise, he would have begged him to steer Donghao Venture Capital at any cost.

Now he somewhat understands Meizu's Huang Zhang; he genuinely wanted Lei Jun to work for him.

Unfortunately, Lei Jun didn't take a fancy to his setup.

They chatted for a while about making phones, then Lei Jun turned around and started doing it himself.

"President Qi!"

This time, Lei Jun was genuinely shocked.

Moreover, the most critical thing was that with his years of experience, Qi Hao was genuinely sincere, not pretending at all.

Looking at the hundreds of people on site, all filled with admiration for Qi Hao.

Lei Jun began to understand Qi Hao's charm.

Of course, at his age, he wouldn't prostrate and call him father.

But cooperating more sincerely was entirely feasible.

Qi Hao was the host today, and many people wanted to talk to him. Lei Jun was quite impressive in the internet world, but not so much in the entertainment circle.

Those in the internet world have money, but their influence isn't that significant.

A local official could handle them.

But some big shots in the entertainment circle often meet formidable figures.

Seeing Han Sanping arrive, Lei Jun greeted him and then wandered around aimlessly.

"Mr. Han!"

Qi Hao knew Han Sanping would come.

Zhonghao Entertainment and China Film had quite a few collaborations. Now that Zhonghao was doing well, China Film would also be willing to make connections.

"You know quite a lot of people."

Watching Lei Jun's departing figure, Han Sanping remembered he seemed to be the president of Kingsoft Software.

A very formidable presence in the internet industry.

Lei Jun thought Han Sanping was awesome, and Han Sanping thought Lei Jun was quite remarkable too.

After all, if he wanted to make money, he would still have to be cautious.

While a single round of financing for Lei Jun saw a valuation of 250 million.
