Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 248 The Big Boss Behind Success
As the plane landed at the Shanghai Airport, Zhou Dongsheng was already familiar with the place.
After getting off the plane first through the priority channel, I quickly arrived at the airport pickup gate and immediately saw Huang Zheng, who stood out among the crowd.
Although he is just an ordinary man with glasses, in Zhou Dongsheng's eyes he is shining gold, directly related to his hundreds of billions of wealth, isn't that gold?
“It’s worth it for my life to have the treatment of being picked up by Brother Huang in person at the airport.” Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile. For most people, this treatment is indeed enough to brag about for a lifetime.
However, Zhou Dongsheng today has already unknowingly left the category of "little man", although he still does not consider himself to be a big shot.
There is a saying that goes, people at the top of the mountain and people at the foot of the mountain are equally insignificant in each other's eyes.
At this time, Zhou Dongsheng was barely halfway up the mountain, not as good as the top but better than the bottom.
"You are my investor and major shareholder. If you want me to pick you up at the airport, just ask me and I'll pick you up ." Huang Zheng retorted with a smile.
"What you said makes sense. Next time I come to Shanghai, I have to ask you to pick me up at the airport." Zhou Dongsheng looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
"No problem, Mr. Zhou, just give your orders." Huang Zheng continued jokingly.
After a few pleasantries and jokes, Huang Zheng started talking about business only after they arrived at the parking lot and got into the car together.
"Aren't you curious about which angel investors I found for the platform?"
"I'm not sure which ones, but I think Mr. Duan must be one of them." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile. This big boss, who has a profound influence on Huang Zheng, is almost never absent from any of Huang Zheng's entrepreneurial ventures.
Duan Yongping has always been fully supportive of Huang Zheng's previous entrepreneurial projects. He is like a strong backing for Huang Zheng and gives him advice from time to time.
Huang Zheng deserves the respect of him as his life mentor, and he has always referred to himself as Duan Yongping's "fourth disciple" to the outside world.
The first two became two major mobile phone giants in China, as if following the legend when Duan Yongping founded BBK. The third one took over Duan Yongping's mantle and took charge of BBK.
To some extent, Duan Yongping 's success in talent investment is in no way inferior to his title of "Duan Bart" in the investment community.
"There is another person, Mr. Ding Sanshi, who should also be among those you invited. After all, as far as I know, Brother Huang and Mr. Ding have always had a good relationship."
Based on the limited information Zhou Dongsheng knew, he could only roughly guess who these two people were, and whether it was Duan Yongping or Ding Sanshi, they were definitely well-deserved big guys.
With these two people endorsing the e-commerce platform project, it will undoubtedly give the entire project an added boost and enable it to start more quickly.
Moreover, this influence, in a certain sense, is more far-reaching than the investment that Zhou Dongsheng revealed on paper, which makes Zhou Dongsheng secretly glad.
Fortunately, I spent a lot of effort. In addition to fooling Huang Zheng, I also gained a lot of impression points in front of the big boss Duan Yongping.
If you just play the role of paying money, you may not get a share in this express train of Pinxixi platform.
After all, this kind of thing is quite simple to operate...
Huang Zheng nodded as expected after hearing this, "Your guess is correct, but there are two more people you may not know, but they are all well-known figures. It was only thanks to the teacher that we were able to invite them. You will know when you meet me later."
After all, Duan Yongping and Zhou Dongsheng have met each other. As for the relationship between Huang Zheng and Ding Sanshi, it is no secret in itself. It is industry information that is easy to learn.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is also known as an "investor", so it is not difficult to find out these things, but the other two are really hard to guess.
Huang Zheng deliberately kept the mystery a secret. Although his curiosity was like a kitten scratching its heart, fortunately the answer would be revealed soon, so Zhou Dongsheng could only suppress his curiosity.
Zhou Dongsheng thought he was going to a familiar local restaurant for dinner, but the car turned and came to a quiet and secluded villa community. He told the security guard his purpose and was allowed to pass only after his identity was confirmed several times.
As if seeing Zhou Dongsheng's confusion, Huang Zheng casually said, "This is a family dinner. One of the investors is hosting a dinner at home and invites everyone to have a meal together. The teacher and the others are already there."
Compared with business social gatherings where people eat out, family dinners undoubtedly reflect a higher level of relationships and also invisibly reveal a closer relationship.
Perhaps in this family dinner, only Zhou Dongsheng can be considered an "outsider".
Huang Zheng parked the car in front of a detached villa. Although there are differences between villas, the detached villas here are probably worth billions.
There were already a few ordinary luxury cars parked outside the door, including business cars, black Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce. It was impossible to guess the identities of the cars just by looking at the cars.
However, Zhou Dongsheng was not afraid at all. Instead, he was looking forward to meeting some unexpected big shot.
Led by Huang Zheng, Zhou Dongsheng followed closely behind. As soon as they entered the room, they heard hearty laughter coming from the living room. It was obvious that they were having a good conversation inside.
When they arrived at the living room, as soon as the two of them showed their heads, four pairs of eyes in the living room looked over. Almost all of them ignored Huang Zheng and looked at Zhou Dongsheng behind them.
The first impression is that they are young, too young. Their age of just over 20 years old is enough to lower the average age of those present.
Zhou Dongsheng took a quick look and saw the familiar Duan Yongping and the "familiar" Ding Sanshi, while the other two people seemed slightly unfamiliar.
Even though Zhou Dongsheng had never met Ding Sanshi, the pig farm boss, he had seen him on the Internet many times, so he was naturally familiar with him.
At this time, Duan Yongping showed a kind smile, waved to Zhou Dongsheng, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou is here, come and sit over here."
Duan Yongping was like a kind elder. He was afraid that Zhou Dongsheng would not get used to the unfamiliar place, so he chose to take care of Zhou Dongsheng, the younger generation, at the first opportunity.
"Okay, Mr. Duan." Zhou Dongsheng also followed suit and walked to the empty seat next to Duan Yongping and sat down.
On the contrary, Huang Zheng seemed a little jealous, because I am obviously the teacher's disciple!
He had no choice but to sit next to Ding Sanshi.
Duan Yongping also took the initiative to introduce, "This is the friend I told you about, Zhou Dongsheng! Xiao Zhou is the investor of Huang Zheng's social e-commerce project."
The bosses also smiled friendly and nodded towards Zhou Dongsheng. At this time, Duan Yongping introduced himself to Zhou Dongsheng.
"Let me introduce you. This is Ding Sanshi. Young people like you should be familiar with Xiao Ding."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly, "Of course I am familiar with him. I am a loyal user of the pig farm. I like both games and cloud music very much. I have heard of Mr. Ding's name for a long time."
"I just wonder if I'll have the honor to eat the pigs raised by Mr. Ding?" Zhou Dongsheng's harmless joke made everyone laugh.
Ding Sanshi laughed heartily, "No problem. I heard that you are also in Yangcheng. Come to my house for dinner when you are free. I will treat you."
"Of course, of course. I will visit you when I return to Guangzhou." Zhou Dongsheng took over the conversation with a smile. No matter whether it was a courtesy or not, after a few visits, he would become his own network.
"You may not be familiar with these two people, but when it comes to what they have done, you will be familiar with them..." Duan Yongping smiled and pointed at the other two people, then continued to introduce them.
