Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 165 Capital and Rationality
Little People Media, General Manager’s Office.
Zhou Dongsheng was sitting at the tea table, drinking tea leisurely, and of course he was not alone.
The delicate and pretty Lin Jiajia sat on the chair, put her hands on the tea table, leaned her little head on it and looked at Zhou Dongsheng curiously, her two little feet dangling under the chair.
"Ge Ge, is this tea really that delicious? It's bitter." She frowned after saying that.
"Well, everyone has their own preferences, just like I like to drink tea, some people like to drink wine, and Wanzi likes to drink frog, haha."
"You think Frog Haha tastes good, I think tea tastes good. Everyone has something they like, just like the world is colorful. Isn't this a more wonderful world?"
“If the world only had two colors, black and white, would all the good-looking cartoons become ugly?”
Zhou Dongsheng teased Wanzi with a smile, and saw that Wanzi's brows were getting more and more furrowed in confusion, but it seemed that he really understood, and Wanzi nodded in a pretentious manner.
"Ah, yes, yes...GeGe has a point!"
Zhou Dongsheng was also happy. The daily rest time of the old and the young did not last too long. With a knock on the door, an intellectual beauty pushed the door open and walked in.
Her hair was tied up high, with a few strands of hair hanging down on both sides of her cheeks. She was dressed in a standard professional woman's outfit, with a simple and clean white shirt on the upper body, a hip skirt and a pair of black high heels on her feet.
She looks mature and intellectual, and her every frown and smile reveals a bit of charm and gentleness, exuding the capable aura of a career woman.
"Boss, Mr. Lu is already waiting for you in the conference room."
This is Zhou Dongsheng’s current assistant to the general manager, Li Jiana.
Among many choices, Zhou Dongsheng chose this person mainly because he has great language talent. Not only is he proficient in English, Korean and Japanese, but he also has rich work experience.
Of course, there may be a little selfish motive, that is, she is somewhat similar to the secretary in an elite lawyer drama that Zhou Dongsheng had watched in his previous life.
There's no other way. After all, he's the assistant to the general manager, so naturally I have to choose according to Zhou Dongsheng's taste.
"Okay, I'll be there right away." Zhou Dongsheng nodded with a smile. This Mr. Lu was naturally the interviewee Zhou Dongsheng had arranged through a headhunter.
"Wan Zi, you go play by yourself first. I have to go to work." After saying that, he stood up and walked out.
Li Jiana smiled, stepped sideways and stretched out her hand, letting Zhou Dongsheng go out first, and then followed closely beside him.
Zhou Dongsheng doesn't need to worry about Wanzi at all. As the company's darling, Lin Jiajia can come and go freely in the entire company. While other companies play with cats and dogs, Xiaorenmin Media plays with Wanzi collectively.
During these days, Xiaorenwu Media has entered a phase of staff expansion and has recruited many new faces. For newcomers, the new company is an unfamiliar environment.
It will still take some time to integrate into the team, but with Lin Jiajia, the group's favorite, as a lubricant , it will be easier for new and old employees to get along with each other.
As for the new employee who doesn't like children, what else can I say? Just kick him out, otherwise the company will be called Little People Media.
Ahem, of course this is just a joke, let’s get back to the topic.
When Zhou Dongsheng walked to the door of the conference room, Li Jiana had already stepped forward to open the door and stood at the door to welcome Zhou Dongsheng in.
Judging a person based solely on the handling of these subtle details and the ability to always strike a balance between the primary and the secondary, is naturally like seeing the entire picture through a tube.
However, there is still a long way to go, and time will tell. At least for now, Zhou Dongsheng is still very satisfied.
Walking into the conference room, Zhou Dongsheng casually looked at the man who stood up. He was wearing a straight and slim suit, shiny hair, and gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.
He looks very much like the villain in the movie Sven-Sands. He looks good, and judging from the resume handed over by the headhunter, he is also quite good. He is not a person who looks good on the outside but has bad inside.
"Mr. Lu Sifang, please take a seat. You're welcome. Let's just chat." Zhou Dongsheng said casually while sitting in the main seat, while Li Jiana stood aside obediently.
"Okay, boss." Lu Sifang responded politely and sat down. Although he showed no expression on the surface, he was surprised at the boss's youth.
Although Lu Sifang has come into contact with many entrepreneurial teams from college students in the investment industry, Zhou Dongsheng is a big boss and looks just like a college student.
"I looked at his resume. Mr. Lu did quite well in a large investment bank before. Why did you want to go out on your own?" Zhou Dongsheng started chatting about family matters.
"I want to try my best Big investment banks certainly have resources and platforms, but for a small person like me, there are almost no opportunities." Lu Sifang said with a smile.
"Oh? Then I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks about the e-commerce field?" Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and asked this question with interest.
Lu Sifang's expression suddenly changed. He knew that this question was the key point. It was obviously a test of his professional ability from his boss.
"The domestic e-commerce sector is already a relatively mature industry. In the past decade or so of domestic Internet development, not only has it spawned giants like Alibaba, but also giants like Jingdong that have broken through through self-operation..."
"In the e-commerce field, with the development of the Internet over the past decade, giants such as Alibaba and Jingdong have undoubtedly stood at the forefront of the industry. Now each of them has its own complete and mature business model and firmly controls the right to speak in the industry."
"Although there have been new challengers such as Weipinhui and Jumei in recent years, they have basically failed to gain popularity. As far as e-commerce platforms are concerned, the Matthew effect, also known as the 80/20 rule, has begun."
Lu Sifang expounded his views and opinions in an orderly manner.
"Just like instant messaging is controlled by Tencent, e-commerce is also controlled by these giants. This field is not a rational choice for both investors and entrepreneurs."
After listening to Lu Sifang's analysis, Zhou Dongsheng continued to speak with a smile on his face.
"If the first project of the investment company I want to set up is to invest in a fledgling company that is preparing to enter the e-commerce field, would Mr. Lu think that this is too hasty?"
Lu Sifang was slightly stunned. He originally thought that this question was just a way for Zhou Dongsheng to test his professional skills, but he didn't expect that it was actually related to the investment project.
Investing in e-commerce now? Isn't that just stupid and rich?
This question is as absurd as someone clamoring to develop instant messaging and defeat Tencent. It is simply a fantasy.
"Investment is a field of high risk and high return. Although you think this is not a rational choice, for capital, the extremely high returns are enough to make capital crazy and lose rationality. Isn't investing in a dragon slayer such a choice?"
"Investment is a gamble. Doesn't Mr. Lu also want to gamble on his future?" Zhou Dongsheng smiled playfully.
