"Mr. Han, if you're interested in doing business, I can recommend a few projects to you later."

Compared to others, Qi Hao's advantage lies here.

He knows a lot of business information, and it will only grow over time.

His title as Little Buffett is not just for show.

"Haha, that would be great."

Han Sanping found Qi Hao increasingly agreeable; he actually has a daughter, too.

But unfortunately, she's already taken.

"These are all minor details. We can discuss them later. Jiang Wen hasn't arrived yet, and he's the protagonist of today's event."

Qi Hao respectfully helped Han Sanping.

Although China Film isn't his, and he'll eventually retire, this old guy's network in the circle and the Zheng Mansion is extraordinary.

No one online dares to neglect him.

Of course, at Qi Hao's current status, there's no need to be overly afraid of him either.

They are all capable people and must act according to the rules.

If you break the rules and play dirty with me, I have many ways and means to reciprocate.

"He's probably caught in traffic. He had a meeting this afternoon, otherwise, he'd have been here earlier."

Han Sanping was very familiar with Jiang Wen.

This time, Jiang Wen's "Let the Bullets Fly" also has investments and distribution from China Film.

"Then let's wait a bit longer."

Qi Hao understood, as it is indeed rush hour.

It's not like Jiang Wen can take the subway over.

"Actually, you're the protagonist today. With so many box office hits, it's fair to say that you've single-handedly propelled the entire industry's development."

Today, Han Sanping represented a part of the official perspective.

Everyone thinks highly of Qi Hao.

These films are neither vulgar nor have any negative effects; they're genuinely what audiences love to watch.

Moreover, they can be made with very little cost.

Blockbusters have their advantages, so do smaller films; the industry needs balance.

"Oh no, it's all thanks to everyone's collective effort. It's not a one-man job."

At most, I also have had some good luck.

Found the right direction and partner, working hard with An Feng on several films.

These films don't exist in isolation.

They all influence each other's reputation and box office results.

"Do you know that this year's daily increase in screens has already more than doubled compared to last year? Your company has made significant contributions to it. You are now definitely the biggest private film company in the mainland."

Han Sanping was very sentimental, as he used to support Mrs. Hua a lot and gave her many conveniences.

Now, he realizes that the Wang Brothers were just too greedy.

Being greedy is quite normal.

Who doesn't want more? He's also greedy, chasing money and women, but everything must be kept within limits, otherwise, the industry would be ruined.

And when the industry collapses, those who make a living off of it will suffer.

Even though Han Sanping is nicknamed "Sitting Eagle" — surely not a favorable term — he has indeed achieved a lot in influencing the industry over the years.

He has supported many new directors as well.

After chatting a while, Jiang Wen finally arrived, and the celebratory party officially started.

The host was Xie Nan.

It's not that they couldn't afford someone better, but mainly because Xie Nan was more cost-effective.

They could afford a CCTV host; whoever they invited would show respect, and CCTV wouldn't stand in their way.

But that would require money.

Xie Nan didn't ask for any compensation.

This was a favor among friends, and it wasn't without benefits for Xie Nan either.

The host briefly introduced today's event and then invited the president to speak.

Qi Hao did not go up to speak.

The one who stepped up was Old Tian, the president of Zhonghao.

He also served as the president of Donghao and West Hao.

Old Tian, as if reporting work, briefly talked about the company's development this year.

Film is just one aspect of it.

Donghao Venture Capital is an investment; this was brushed over without detailed financial data.

All they need to know is that Qi Hao's wealth has increased significantly.

By general estimation, Qi Hao's net worth is now at least over one billion US Dollars, equivalent to more than a hundred billion Yuan.

Many listed companies don't even have that market value.

Zhonghao definitely doesn't need elaboration; Zhonghao is the protagonist today, as most of these box office hits are produced or made by Zhonghao, even participating in distribution.

West Hao Animation Film and Television hasn't produced specific results yet, but everyone can clearly see the industry's vigorous development.

They can also see West Hao Animation Film and Television's influence on the industry.

If we must talk about returns.

Then the Ministry of Culture's alignment of animation movies, the National Animation Development Alliance, and West Hao Animation Film and Television is the biggest return so far.

Closely tied to West Hao Animation Film and Television is the Naughty Ghost Special Effects Studio.

This is also Qi Hao's enterprise.

Many people were unaware until today when quite a few foreigners realized that Qi Hao had built such a large special effects company.

People say one should be humble, but being humble to Qi Hao's extent is somewhat odd.

In fact, these foreigners were quite puzzled.

When they came from Hollywood to Huaxia, they thought they were just joining a local special effects company, there was a bit of a psychological gap.

Unexpectedly, after some observation, they shockingly discovered that the company they joined was owned by a billionaire worth over a billion US Dollars, holding stocks in various companies valued over hundreds of billions, known as Little Buffett in Huaxia, with multiple enterprises contributing this year's net film profits potentially reaching as much as one hundred million US Dollars.

Turns out they had joined a major company.

This is true for many of Qi Hao's employees.

When Qi Hao Studio was just established, he had just left Ziwen, only bringing Old Tian and temporarily hiring a few others, just enough to make up a small team.

In just a few years, he now has several hundred people in his employ.

Naughty Ghost Studio alone has over a hundred people.

The people they liaise with in each company are all prominent figures.

Today's attendees are all bigwigs from the entertainment industry, filling up the underground parking with luxury cars.

There isn't a single Mazda here.

One industry big shot after another appeared, making everyone realize this company was not simple.

Old Tian briefly spoke about the company's situation, thanked everyone for their contributions, and then immediately started the lucky draw.

Clearly, Old Tian and Qi Hao alike wanted to keep things simple.

Since the employees were all present, this celebration could also double as a company annual meeting.

However, the draw wasn't just for employees.

It was for everyone present today.

The invitations had numbers; the winners corresponded directly to the numbers and the respective employees or guests.

The first round of prizes was quite ordinary.

High-end four-piece bedding sets.

But the winning coverage was wide, with dozens winning, and the numbers flashing on the big screen.

The winners had mixed feelings.

Winning is better than not winning, but once you've won a prize, the bigger prizes are out of reach.

After the first-round draw, it was time to celebrate "First Love."

Qi Hao, An Feng, and the movie's on and off-screen team, all those present, were invited on stage.

Everyone took a group photo and received a red envelope.

"The leading man and lady in 'First Love' ended up together; thanks to the kind director and screenwriter, and in reality, the two of you also became a couple. Would you say the movie was your matchmaker?"

Xie Nan wasn't deliberately hyping Qi Hao and An Feng's relationship.

There's no need for such hype now; she was mostly aiming to liven up the atmosphere.

"It had some facilitating effects."

Qi Hao nodded. If there was a true matchmaker, it would definitely be "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

Although he'd never admit it.

That would make him a pervert.

"Its impact was limited; not even a kiss scene in the movie."

An Feng rarely stood with Qi Hao today. She served as the female host.

In such social scenes, socialites are everywhere.

Some bigwigs even brought their wives, and a female host had to hold the fort.

"How about you two make up for it here?"

Xie Nan quickly added.

"No need, we can make up for it slowly back home..."

Qi Hao quickly refused, as it could be done privately later; there was no need to do so in front of so many people.

That would be too perverse.

And there's no fee involved.
