Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 162: The Infant Giant
Zhou Dongsheng also mentioned the investment company casually when they were chatting about it. If it really came down to a written agreement, it naturally wouldn't be that fast.
However, the fact that Zhou Dongsheng asked for a starting capital of 100 million yuan made Principal Wang and others pay some attention to it. It can be seen that Zhou Dongsheng was preparing to make a big bet.
Even for rich second-generations like them, it is impossible for them to come up with 100 million yuan casually. Of course, it depends on the situation at home.
Even Principal Wang, who is nominally worth tens of billions, currently has most of his funds in the Panda Platform project, not to mention Huang Haoze and Chen Yuhang.
However, Zhou Dongsheng's "keen vision" and "luck" in the stock market inexplicably made them particularly attracted and they did not want to miss such an opportunity.
After all, influenced by their parents, the second generation of rich people are very clear about one thing: luck is also part of personal strength.
In the context of the times, personal abilities are often extremely small. If you want to be the pig at the center of the storm, the accidental factor of luck is often indispensable!
It’s just that the abilities of most people don’t support them to the point where they need to rely on luck.
Principal Wang: How about I exchange the shares of the live streaming platform with your investment company?
Huang Haoze: Give me some time, one hundred million should be no problem.
Chen Yuhang: Even if we all contribute 100 million, Dongsheng should get the majority of the shares.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't expect that he was just pretending to be cool, and several young masters all agreed with him nonchalantly. Are they really going to invest 100 million yuan each in him?
This is enough to show that Zhou Dongsheng's importance in their hearts is no longer what it used to be. If they were just ordinary friends, no matter how rich they were, they would not be able to provide this level of support.
Otherwise, talking about money hurts feelings?
And having reached this point, Zhou Dongsheng has completely achieved his goal.
Zhou Dongsheng: Let’s put the investment company’s matter aside for now and let’s talk about the sports car.
Principal Wang: We are just getting started! If you are so confident, maybe the magic car will bounce back.
Chen Yuhang: This bet will last until the close of Friday.
Huang Haoze: Hehe, luckily I didn’t become a fence-sitter, otherwise Dongsheng would have to earn enough to buy three sports cars by himself... I have to admire Dongsheng’s confidence.
Zhou Dongsheng: I don’t know much about sports cars, so just give me an expensive one, or a discount is fine.
Principal Wang: Get lost.
After joking around for a while, they went back to their own business.
Zhou Dongsheng stretched lazily with satisfaction. To him, the matter of CRRC had come to an end. It would probably take some time for the market to reach its peak of 5,000 points.
There is no need to rush into the investment company's affairs. It would be a waste to keep the 100 million yuan in hand. The market can already achieve an expected increase of 1,000 points, not to mention the opportunities in the stock market.
Just like a magical spectacle in the sea called "whale fall", the fall of the leading stock is precisely the biggest stimulus to the stock market, and it also pushes the bull market to its climax.
In fact, it is easy to understand. So many institutions and major players have profited from CRRC and left the market. There is nowhere to put the large amount of funds in their hands, and the market sentiment is so enthusiastic...
As long as you put up a sign and call for action, there will naturally be a large number of retail investors responding and rushing to take over the shares.
After all, only the market makers dare not take the order, so how could retail investors dare not buy the tickets?
We will always be filled with tears as we protect our country!
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng did not have such great ambitions. He just wanted to go with the flow, make a little money, and prepare for his next investment plan.
In the next few years, the hottest platform will undoubtedly be the short video platform, but Zhou Dongsheng knows that he doesn’t even need to think about investing in such a big ship. There are many people who want to invest, and it’s not even his turn.
A quick search will reveal that ByteDance has already gone through three rounds of financing. The amount of financing in last year's C round has reached 100 million US dollars. The valuation of the next round of financing is likely to exceed 10 billion US dollars!
Of course, if ByteDance can get on board, it still has broad expectations to fulfill. After all, ByteDance will be a real behemoth in the future.
However, now that ByteDance has already grown to a certain size, it will not be easy for Zhou Dongsheng to squeeze in, even if he brings along Principal Wang and others.
However, in addition to short video platforms, there are two future giants that are still in their infancy and have not yet stepped out of the novice village during this period of time!
These two giants are exactly what Zhou Dongsheng wants to establish an investment company for. As long as he can successfully invest in these two companies...
There is no doubt that Zhou Dongsheng will have more ways to go, and he will have some security for his early retirement in the future.
Zhou Dongsheng was immersed in beautiful fantasies about the future when a knock on the door brought him back to reality.
After saying "Come in", Xu Kaidao pushed the door open with a smile on his face.
Ever since he acquired 1% of the shares of Xiaorenwu Media and officially became the fifth largest shareholder of Xiaorenwu Media, Xu Kaidao felt that he had a second spring in his life.
This is probably what it means, that people feel refreshed when good things happen to them, and Xu Kaidao came here naturally to report on his work.
"Boss, according to your arrangement, the company has made adjustments. After dividing the business scope, each department has also encountered a manpower gap and urgently needs a large number of personnel to be supplemented. The human resources department has been asked to recruit..."
"The boss mentioned earlier that he wanted to arrange for an assistant secretary, so I wanted to ask if the boss has any requirements. Do you want to ask a headhunter to find a suitable candidate for you?"
Xu Kaidao briefly reported on the company's situation, especially the problem of the assistant secretary. After all, she was the one who talked directly to the boss and had to consider the boss's thoughts.
Although the boss is young and handsome, who knows if he has any unique hobbies in this regard?
After all, the taste of rich people is hard to describe, and the knowledgeable Xu Kaidao has a deep understanding of this.
Maybe Zhou Dongsheng just likes the idea of "being a secretary when there's something to do"?
"Well, ability is definitely the most important thing. You need to have strong ability, be professional enough, and have good professional qualities..."
"Everything else is secondary. After all, our company already has enough pretty girls. I don't need an incompetent secretary ."
Zhou Dongsheng calmly listed his requirements one by one. With the scale of Xiaorenren Media today, it is reasonable to have a secretary who meets the requirements in all aspects.
Even if the platform is a bit inferior, but as the general manager's secretary, he is still a senior executive.
While Xu Kaidao was in awe, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart. He had such dirty thoughts that he actually thought of his boss as that kind of person...
"Of course, if the conditions are right, good looks are also a plus, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and smiled brightly.
I just said no vases, not no beauties. Even if we don't consider some dirty thoughts, appearance itself is a great innate advantage, and it is an advantage that cannot be ignored.
As for what Xu Kaidao was thinking, Zhou Dongsheng had no idea. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, from the beginning to the end, Zhou Dongsheng positioned himself as an ordinary person, the kind that was extremely vulgar.
