Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 254 Work Report
All good things must come to an end. As the night deepened, the Dragon Boat Festival family dinner came to an end.
The older Duan Yongping was already showing signs of fatigue and was the first to speak up: "It's getting late. I think it's almost time to end this. I'm an old guy, but I'm not as young as you."
"It's indeed getting late. Now that Mr. Duan has spoken, let's stop here for today and we can get together again another day." Ding Sanshi agreed with a smile.
Having said that, naturally no one had any objections. After all, today's dinner was basically a great pleasure for both the guests and the hosts. In addition to the big guys having a good chat, Zhou Dongsheng and Huang Zheng also gained something.
In addition to discussing two "insignificant" minor business deals during their conversation, the bigwigs also shared many interesting stories from the industry with each other, which also opened Zhou Dongsheng's eyes.
Although they had all been drinking, this little thing certainly did not pose any problem for these people. In addition to the designated drivers, there were also special drivers. After saying goodbye to each of them, they left.
As for the contact information, it had already been exchanged during the meal, which was also one of the gains.
Zhou Dongsheng, who had not drunk any alcohol, declined the request for a designated driver. He took over the steering wheel from Huang Zheng, and Duan Yongping sat safely in the back seat.
It was not until the car drove out of the villa area that Zhou Dongsheng said sincerely: "Thank you, Mr. Duan, for your introduction. I have benefited a lot from it."
Duan Yongping in the back seat smiled and said casually: "It's just a piece of cake. The most important thing is that your own background played a role."
Rather than opportunities, the ability to seize them is often more indispensable, just like a cliché joke Zhou Dongsheng once heard.
A man prayed devoutly in the temple day and night, hoping that he could win the lottery jackpot. After year after year, his devout heart finally moved the gods.
The immortal couldn't help but say, "At least buy a lottery ticket first!"
While making people laugh, it also vividly illustrates this truth: no one knows whether an opportunity will come or not, but if you don’t persist, you will not be able to grasp it even if the opportunity really comes.
But one thing is for sure, Zhou Dongsheng still expressed his at least some gratitude. After all, this was not something that Duan Yongping had to do.
After all, a gentleman judges by deeds rather than intentions. As for Duan Yongping 's purpose, Zhou Dongsheng would not speculate too much because people's minds are hidden.
For Duan Yongping, it is actually very simple. He just admires young people like Zhou Dongsheng very much, just like Huang Zheng did back then.
Out of appreciation, he doesn't mind lending a helping hand within his ability, and expects such young people to create more miracles.
For Duan Yongping, he has long since moved away from capital investment that simply pursues profits. If he had been obsessed with wealth and numbers on paper, he would not have chosen to retreat at the height of his career and disappear from the public eye.
There has always been a dispute in the investment world between value investing and venture capital. As a senior leader in the investment world, Duan Yongping is more interested in investing in "people" themselves.
Compared with simple profit statements, the benefits that people can bring are more uncertain, but this is also where Duan Yongping's interest lies.
After all, the entry-level slogan for investment is "Investment is risky, so be cautious when entering the industry."
…
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday ended, and Zhou Dongsheng also arrived at the Magic City Airport.
This time, Zhou Dongsheng no longer had any attachment to the Magic City. He resolutely boarded a plane to Guangzhou and returned to his base to "take charge of the situation."
Although he could learn about the situation remotely through his mobile phone and knew that Xiaorenmin Media was developing steadily and orderly under the management of Xu Kaidao, Zhou Dongsheng still felt that it would not work without him as the hands-off manager.
Do you understand the importance of spiritual leaders?
While waiting for the flight in the VIP lounge, Zhou Dongsheng casually checked his Weibo and found that Principal Wang had posted a lottery update.
"The Panda platform has completed the final stage of internal testing and will be available for public testing in July at the latest. Start by drawing a lottery for 66 mobile phones." The understated announcement, coupled with the affordable lottery, fits well with Principal Wang's image of being wealthy and powerful.
Unlike the Weibo lottery that will be played out in various ways by many marketing accounts in the future, the current lottery model is still relatively simple and crude, and is nothing more than a means of exchanging money for traffic.
Principal Wang’s own traffic is among the highest on Weibo, and with the temptation of real money, it’s no surprise that this post became a hot topic.
Zhou Dongsheng secretly clicked the forward button to lower his chances of winning. In case he won, he could brag about it. No one knew his account anyway.
Then he opened the stock software and took a look at the market.
The market saw a small rebound after the Dragon Boat Festival, but the rebound of less than 100 points was obviously unable to repair the market sentiment that was caused by the cliff-like decline before the Dragon Boat Festival.
However, for the retail investors who had entered the market at high levels and had already lost their minds, this small rebound gave them a glimmer of hope of getting out of the predicament.
After experiencing this roller coaster ride of the stock market, they no longer mention the idea of making money. They are just about to cry out, "Give me back my money, I don't want to play anymore!"
And this small rebound is their hope. After all, aren't the stock market gurus and experts all advocating that the market outlook will be bright and that the market can reach 6,000 points or even tens of thousands of points?
Now, as long as we can get back to 5,000 points, it will be enough!
Zhou Dongsheng knew that this so-called small rebound might be the last chance for retail investors to escape. After all, the stock market in the future would no longer be a roller coaster, but a bungee jumping machine.
Even if Zhou Dongsheng did not trade stocks in his previous life, he could still see the power of this stock market crash from the faces of those old friends around him who were keen on discussing stocks.
From chatting and laughing, to sighing, and then to frantically clicking on the grass of the banker, finally I became completely numb and directly uninstalled the stock software.
Zhou Dongsheng still remembers these twists and turns vividly. After all, how happy that old man was when he was trading stocks, and how miserable he was when he had to eat coarse food later on.
And when he reborn again, Zhou Dongsheng still gets excited when he thinks about witnessing this historical moment, as if he has found the feeling he had when he watched the World Cup match between Brazil and Germany.
That kind of shocking feeling of watching historical events reappear!
At this time, it was time to board the plane. Zhou Dongsheng turned off his mobile phone, leisurely walked through the priority channel, and boarded the flight to Yangcheng.
Soon, the plane landed at Yangcheng Airport. As soon as I stepped out of the airport reception area, I saw Li Jiana smiling sweetly. Her dimples were still deep, without any change.
The mature feminine charm on her body is still impossible to ignore. Just standing there attracts many men's attention, and they can't help but wonder who is worthy of being picked up by such a beauty.
As Li Jiana came forward, she naturally took Zhou Dongsheng's arm and said with a playful smile: "Boss, you finally decided to come back?"
The man who was secretly spying on him couldn't help but be convinced. There was nothing he could do about it, this guy was a cricket.
Perhaps it was because of the short separation that made new love come true, Zhou Dongsheng felt that Li Jiana became more and more beautiful and charming. Suppressing his inner restlessness, Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Let's go to your house and report to me about the recent work of the company."
Li Jiana smiled charmingly, her dimples becoming deeper, "Okay, boss~"
