Han Chudong really doesn't have to worry about material things. Countless people have invited him to participate in activities and give speeches, and some have said that they are trying to get him to be interviewed. But in essence, it is still just life. When he is hungry, he eats, and when he is tired, he sleeps. There is no difference.

As the days go by, they seem fulfilling despite being busy.

On the high ground in Beverly Hills, when the soil surface was planted with lush evergreen grass, when the clubhouse was topped out, and when the eye-catching luxury villa was built to the third floor, the year was already 1976.

I was still busy with business in the first half of the year, but suddenly I felt bored in the summer and went to Japan for vacation again.

It was still the familiar hot spring hotel, and it was still the familiar fair-skinned proprietress. She had still stayed there for more than half a month. The only difference was that Han Chudong would always sneak into her room, thinking that no one would notice. In fact, the news had already spread among the bodyguards, and they didn't think it was a big deal.

He got to know more and more people and his business grew bigger. Although the development speed was not as rapid as before, Han Chudong's wealth still increased by more than 1 billion US dollars last year. Among them, the movie "Jaws", which had a global box office of nearly 300 million US dollars, made him more than 70 million US dollars, and that was after-tax profit.

After 1976, as his various businesses grew, his net worth continued to increase. It was no exaggeration to say that he was making a fortune every day. This was expected. Han Chudong thought it was normal. Only others were amazed.

After such a long period of settling down, Mason Laboratory continued to give him little surprises.

In August, the company first launched a walkman, which caused a small sensation. In September, it launched a home video player, which was again sold out in the Baofeng Electronics Department Store.

By October, personal computers equipped with several office systems, including spreadsheet making, data statistics, typing and other functions, were launched on the market, which immediately attracted widespread attention. People believed that this was a revolution in personal computers and a groundbreaking product.

In October of 1976, personal computers were finally no longer a useless product and could be truly used in office work, providing great help to consumers. Before the official mass production began, the order volume had quickly exceeded 30,000 units, including 6,000 official orders, which were said to be used in police stations, vehicle management bureaus and other units.

DreamWorks Studios has released three films this year. The Devil Wears Gucci has grossed more than 74 million U.S. dollars worldwide. It is a decent film and has a very high status in the hearts of women.

"Resident Evil", which was released in April, became a phenomenal movie. As of November, its global box office had accumulated more than 490 million US dollars, two levels higher than "Jaws", making Zhou Nan and Zhao Dajun earn a lot of money.

There is also another movie called "Raging Fire", an action movie that took three months to shoot, and its total box office has accumulated more than 60 million US dollars. It can only be said that Han Chudong knows very well what the audience wants to see. Movies such as "Mission Impossible", "Tomb Raider" and "Indiana Jones" have also begun to be prepared. Currently, there are as many as nine movies being planned to be filmed. The investment mainly comes from the dividends of "Resident Evil", and the second one is also in preparation.

It can be said that in the past year, Han Chudong's strength and financial resources have improved in all aspects.

Not only have there been gains in these projects, but also in luxury goods, investment business, wine industry, home appliance and toy sales, etc., which have achieved amazing growth. Take Mason Private Equity Fund as an example. The book profit margin has been 21% since the beginning of this year, and the total size of funds under management has risen to 3 billion US dollars, of which nearly 1.3 billion US dollars are profits belonging to Han Chudong and investors. Every private equity fund can cause a frenzy.

As for Han Chudong's net worth, the total scale is about 5.5 billion US dollars, but only about 4 billion US dollars are publicly displayed. This is because he not only transferred the shares of Mason United Group, but also donated part of it to his family charity foundation. In addition, he is also investing in shell companies established in tax havens.

He has invested nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in art collections alone. He owns three paintings by Van Gogh alone, and has also acquired works by Monet, Gauguin, Picasso and others. His basement is almost full. Most of his works are Chinese cultural relics that are still worthless, including 17 pieces of Yuan blue and white porcelain, more than 30 bronzes, and even a Sanxingdui mask.

Maybe it's because it's so easy to buy things with money, so he began to think collecting is boring. Recently, he started to collect information on metal ores, oil fields, national power grids, telecommunications companies, etc.

It is true that he is very rich, but not so much that he has no place to spend it. Take ABC and NBC TV stations for example. Han Chudong has been eyeing them for a long time, but he still can't bear to spend a large sum of money on them.

Recently, I have been working and enjoying myself at the same time. I live in Los Angeles most of the time and don't go anywhere else. When I am bored, I will choose to show up at some important events. In September, I gave a speech to new and old students at Yale, and also went to Washington to attend an economic forum summit.

November 25, 1976, Thanksgiving Day.

After waking up in his mansion in Beverly Hills, Han Chudong washed up and went out for a run. He was running in the middle, surrounded by bodyguards, and in front and behind were bulletproof Rolls-Royces.

The neighbors nearby were accustomed to similar scenes and were no longer surprised. They greeted him enthusiastically.

We ran all the way to the built golf course, where trees and shrubs were being planted recently. There were pine trees, ginkgo trees, and even baobab trees and dragon blood trees bought from the botanical garden. It was a variety of trees, close to nature and very organized. The asphalt road under our feet had been built in advance.

The club house next to the golf course is being renovated and it is expected to take another quarter to be officially put into use. I ran to the lakeside where the dredging and reconstruction work had been completed, took a look at the luxurious house that was about to be topped out, said hello to the designer and asked him to buy some koi to raise in the lake first. Then I made a detour and chose another road, ran home, took a shower, changed clothes, and sat at the dining table to enjoy breakfast.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Han Yiqiang once thought about running for election, but later gave up, mainly because he was controlled by others in every way, and any ordinary person he met dared to point fingers at him, which he did not feel at all.

Today is a holiday, and I have slept in until now. Father Han asked, "Do you need a plane recently? If not, please help us arrange a flight to take your mom, grandparents to Hawaii for vacation. You have a house there, and a few friends can go with you."

Han Chudong didn't even raise his head. He held a spoon in one hand and a newspaper in the other, saying, "Well, I'll help you arrange it later. I haven't been to the manor in Hawaii since I bought it. Remember to look around when you get there. Bring me some coffee beans when you come back..."

I fell into a vicious circle where I couldn't continue writing after reaching this stage. It might be because I was restrained and had never been exposed to that level, so I skipped it for a while.
