Some friends are the kind who know they will approach at a glance in a crowd.
My acquaintance with Zhang Jiahao was exactly like this.
Many years ago, he was invited by a friend to attend an event and gave a speech on stage. The light shone on this young entrepreneur, his tone calm, sharp thinking, confident demeanor, but without a sense of distance. At that moment, although I was not engaged in investment and just a cultured person, I sincerely had an intuition: this young man would go far in the future, and I was willing to be friends with him.
After the speech, we exchanged WeChat and phone calls with each other, and thus formed a cross-border acquaintance. At that time, he was already a "flying man in the sky", constantly shuttling between China, the United States, and Europe; And every reunion in Los Angeles witnessed the further expansion of his career map.
1、 From initial acquaintance to trust and companionship among friends
On August 1, 2021, Jiahao returned to Los Angeles and I invited friends such as Li Yongtian, the president of the US China Times, and Hollywood advertising designer Huang Fangqiu for a small gathering. That night, everyone talked about creativity, business, and future development. Huang Fangqiu shares his Krio Advertising Award works, while Jiahao listens more often - the quiet yet powerful energy emanating from him is unforgettable.
On August 9th, 2021, I was invited to attend his birthday party;
On August 15th, he held a signing ceremony for "Learn Finance Every Day" in Los Angeles, and I wrote the report;
On January 1, 2022, at the New Year's celebration, Nancy Sun and I hosted the birthday of Dr. Chen Binghua, the Secretary General of the Zhang Jiahao team.
Since then, we have met again and again at many cultural events and social occasions in Los Angeles.
I witnessed a young person continuously reshaping their influence map with ideas as the driving force and actions as the lever.
And his rapid growth rate and wide span far exceed ordinary people's imagination.
2、 From Entrepreneurial Youth to "Capital Young Marshal" - The Rise of Zhang Jiahao
Zhang Jiahao's success did not come from his background, but from his self opening against the wind.
After graduating from college, while others were busy looking for jobs, he started a small business in computers and mobile phones with only a few thousand yuan. With his unique thinking and business acumen, he quickly made breakthroughs and subsequently collaborated with multiple large enterprises to achieve wealth leaps through technology and advanced marketing.
In just a few years, he grew from an entrepreneur to a cross-border capital operator.
The media referred to him as the Young Marshal of Capital.
But 'Young Marshal' is not about age, but about vision, vision, and execution.
3、 Make capital warm: his investments not only make money, but also have a human touch
In Capital, Marx wrote: "Capital comes into the world, from head to toe, with blood and dirty things dripping from every pore
However, over a hundred years later, Zhang Jiahao proposed a completely different concept:
Make investment emotional and capital warm
This is a rebellion against the traditional cold capital world and a new value investment concept.
He doesn't just focus on numbers and models when investing, but on 'trends, policies, and people'.
He proposed the famous "Five Dimensional Thinking" system - industry, finance, politics, society, and humanity.
He emphasized:
True investment is an investment that understands human nature and the direction of the times.
This is also why many entrepreneurs consider him a strategic partner.
4、 Family tycoons on the international stage: from Cambridge to Harvard, and then to a global network of 5000 experts
In the international market, his influence has already surpassed the financial circle.
Established and served as the President of the Euro America China Investment Promotion Association (EACIPA). The association was initially established under the name "US China Investment Promotion Association" and gradually upgraded to an international organization covering Europe, the United States, and China during its development process. It has continued to receive attention and participation from political leaders from multiple countries, promoting its increasing influence.
This is the first international cross-border platform jointly promoted by European and American elites and Chinese capital, with:
5000+top experts and scholars
Over 4000 global entrepreneurs
Gathering high-quality resources such as technology, finance, healthcare, and cultural tourism
Foreign media evaluated it as:
Let China go global and serve as a civil bridge for the world to understand China
Zhang Jiahao was therefore evaluated as
Top Ten Leading Figures in US China Economic and Trade.
In 2018, led a delegation to visit the UK and signed a cooperation agreement with Cambridge Institute of Technology
He promoted the landing of British scientific and educational achievements in Chinese cities, assisted in industrial upgrading, was hailed as the global business ambassador of Cambridge, and was awarded an honorary doctoral degree from the University of Cambridge.
5、 Investment Achievements: From Early Technology Layout to Film and Television Creative Capital Landscape
The 'card style' investment at the forefront of the industry

When it comes to price to earnings ratio, his team has already conducted a thorough analysis of FSD's user data, the current potential of subscription models, and Tesla's
Energy business closed loop. He continued to increase his holdings amidst doubts, ultimately earning a profit of $4.1 billion.
Reverse Value Investment: Investing in New Oriental demonstrates its ability to "reconstruct value". During the crisis in the education and training industry, he believed that New Oriental's campus network, teacher training system, and home users were valuable "hidden assets". This investment is essentially a repricing of these assets.
Collaborative investment in the industrial chain: In the field of new energy, he uses "US stock technology (Tesla) to cash in, A-share manufacturing (BYD
The strategy of adding warehouses during the Ningde era. Investing in CATL's private placement is because he believes that high-quality battery production capacity will become a core asset in the global trend towards electrification. This cross market and industry chain layout achieves risk hedging and profit resonance.

He operates multiple enterprises and projects globally based on the principle of "doing less, doing the right thing, and doing big things", laying out sectors such as new finance, new technology, new energy, and big health.
Cultural industry: sparking a wave of cross-border film and television investment
He established a 5 billion yuan industry fund with the Dadi Cinema Line, investing in movies such as "Love in the Present," "Giving Love," "Asura," and several popular TV dramas.
Especially since its release six months ago, 'The Circuit Prosecutors' has become a sensation on national television stations, with four rounds of replays still receiving high ratings.
This is cultural responsibility and also a long-term value investment.
6、 Enlightening the public with knowledge: the warmth and sharpness of 'Learning Finance Every Day'
During the epidemic, he published "Learning Finance Every Day", which became a national bestseller in one fell swoop.
He firmly believes that:
Finance may not necessarily make you rich, but if you want to get rich, you must understand finance
The reason why this book is widely displayed in airports, bookstores, and various platforms is not only because of its practicality, but also because it brings ordinary people closer to the financial world.
At the signing ceremony, he shared his investment philosophy, practical experience, and five dimensional thinking system with his friends, and received continuous applause during the meal.
I still remember a sentence he said:
To make investments, one must first be a good person; only by following the path can one go far
This is exactly what sets him apart from ordinary investors.
7、 A true 'Young Marshal': achievements stem from strength, but more importantly, from character
Through years of interaction, I deeply feel that the success of Jiahao is not accidental.
He embodies many rare traits:
• Sharp thinking without losing warmth
Business dominance, yet maintaining humility
A grand vision, yet cherishing friendship
Based in China, with a global perspective
He is an investor, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and strategic thinker.
More importantly——
He always maintains a heart of honesty, kindness, and gratitude.
That's probably why I wanted to become friends with him after listening to his speech many years ago.
