Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 437 That Year Twenty
What appeared before Zhou Dongsheng's eyes was quite ordinary and could be seen everywhere in life. No one would even pay much attention to it.
But next year, which is 2016, the first year of mobile development, it will soon become a rising star in the mobile Internet with the support of capital!
This is naturally the most representative case of the sharing economy, shared bicycles!
However , at this moment, even in Wuzhen, a city known for being at the forefront of the Internet, the shared bicycles presented to Zhou Dongsheng are still in the form of shared docking stations.
After all, at present, the two leading players who will lead the future shared bicycle craze, one occupied the Peking University campus as the starting point, and began to move towards major universities in Beijing to achieve their initial goal of occupying universities in Beijing.
Another one is still devoting himself to the research and development of the most representative shared bicycle technology, although he is almost unsustainable because of the excessive cost of technological research and development and is on the verge of bankruptcy.
However, after receiving a large angel investment from Dongsheng Capital, the funding problem has been completely solved, and the development of the finished product is just around the corner!
It has to be said that these two leading players have adopted completely different strategies, both of which are very representative. One focuses on seizing the market, while the other insists on technology. There is a sense of "bad money and good money" competing with each other in the market environment.
To some extent, there is no difference between these two strategies. The former is more like a "traffic is king" model, while the latter is a steady and solid approach that wins by the quality of the work.
However, if we talk about success or failure, it is obvious that the latter is more successful. Not only did he gain both fame and fortune, but he also successfully retired at the peak of his career. After leaving his mark in the history of the Internet, he waved his sleeves and turned away, hiding his achievements and fame.
Of course, for Zhou Dongsheng, the investor, no matter what the outcome of the two projects is, he has already entered the market and is lying in wait, waiting for the wind to blow.
Therefore, when Zhou Dongsheng saw the bicycle docking station in Wuzhen, he couldn't help but be excited and walked forward to take a look.
The bicycle was parked on a black parking column with a familiar QR code on the top of the column. It was obviously a transitional product between the earlier docked public bicycles and the next generation of dockless shared bicycles.
From a future perspective, it is of course a bit backward, but in this frontier of the Internet, in the ancient and charming Wuzhen, it is still quite interesting.
Of course, compared to the wealthy areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the public bicycle is not unfamiliar. It was first introduced from abroad and led by the local government as part of urban management and a supplement to the public transportation system.
Just like a bus, you can use a cycling card to ride between points, but what Zhou Dongsheng saw in front of him was obviously a public bicycle with the concept of the Internet, but it still could not escape the limitations of parking pillars.
"What? You've only walked a few steps, and you're thinking about riding a bike?" Ding Sanshi teased without any airs.
"No, I made two very interesting investments not long ago. Both companies are engaged in shared bicycles under the concept of sharing economy. I think this thing has great potential for making money..." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Oh? Sharing economy? This concept is quite popular abroad. I didn't expect that people in China have started to try it so quickly. Why don't you elaborate on it..." Ding Sanshi asked with a little interest.
“I don’t really know much about it, I’m just interested. The starting point of the sharing economy is the utilization and replacement of idle resources. In the beginning, it was as simple as the model of borrowing books from a library. It was limited by space and trust, and its development was limited.
The Internet has obviously given the sharing economy more possibilities. Through the exploration of many specialized companies, the concept of enterprise-level sharing economy has been born.
With the credit endorsement of enterprises, the space barrier has been broken, giving the sharing economy a new lease of life. Among them, the best Internet sharing economy explorers such as Uber and Didi have won the favor of investors..."
Zhou Dongsheng repeated the same old tune, casually showing off a few of his shallow insights, and then changed the subject.
"Especially in the context of the rapid iteration of the Internet, the consumption concept of young people today that focuses on experience rather than possession has emerged, which naturally caters to the concept of the sharing economy."
“Compared to spending a lot of money to buy something, only to see it become obsolete soon and then yearn for new products, young people are more willing to spend a little money to rent or buy second-hand products to get more experience.
After all, the world that the Internet shows young people is too colorful, but the reality is that they are short of money. "
"Before, there were three thousand rivers, but I only drank from one ladle. Now, I want to taste the saltiness of everything..."
"The concept of sharing economy is very broad. It is like a huge second-hand market on the Internet that can accommodate everything. In addition to shared bicycles, power banks, rental businesses, etc. are all promising."
"Especially as mobile Internet penetrates every aspect of our lives, this sharing concept that provides users with a convenient experience will inevitably be sought after by users. After all, convenience is the biggest demand of users."
Although what Zhou Dongsheng said was shallow, it was not empty talk and his words had substance. After all, everything was the future he had seen with his own eyes, and even if it was just a casual remark, there were traces to follow.
Therefore, to others, it does not seem like Zhou Dongsheng is talking nonsense, but rather that he has his own set of logical insights, and what he says sounds natural and reasonable.
Ding Sanshi smiled and nodded, praisingly: "You have your own unique understanding, not bad, no wonder you chose to invest."
As an Internet tycoon, Ding Sanshi has dealt with many investors, and in Zhou Dongsheng, Ding Sanshi saw the confidence of an investor.
It is as if they are certain that the project they are interested in will definitely make money. This kind of confidence is often formed by the accumulation of successful project experience.
And this young man Zhou Dongsheng... is more like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger, with the kind of ignorant and fearless confidence.
But, that's what young people should be like. If you don't act recklessly, your youth will be in vain.
“I only know a little bit, but I still understand the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
I finally made my first pot of gold in the stock market, so I can try a few more projects to practice my skills, so that even if I’m unlucky, I won’t lose money on every project.” Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile about his investment method.
Of course, the probability of losing money on every project is definitely much greater than making money on every project, but it is obvious that Zhou Dongsheng is the latter.
In this world where results are the criterion for success, it doesn't matter if you can make a grandiose and flawed statement, as long as you can produce convincing results...
Even if it is a fallacy, it can still be regarded as the Bible. Zhou Dongsheng .
"It seems that your first pot of gold from the stock market is quite significant. But speaking of accumulating the first pot of gold from the stock market, I know someone who has a common topic with you. You two are actually from the same hometown."
Ding Sanshi's wrinkles stretched out when he smiled.
Zhou Dongsheng's heart skipped a beat. This fellow villager certainly couldn't be the one with the surname Li. After all, this guy had nothing to do with the Internet. Excluding this guy, the identity of this person would naturally be revealed.
Little brother Ma!
When fellow villagers meet, they must...swish, right?
