Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 441 The Curtain Falls
After a quick tour, the Internet Conference in Wuzhen, which lasted only three days, soon came to an end. For Zhou Dongsheng, he naturally benefited a lot from it, especially the dinner party in Wuzhen that gathered many bigwigs, which he watched with gusto.
For Zhou Dongsheng, the second Wuzhen World Internet Conference means little to him. The future envisioned by the conference cannot compare to what he sees with his own eyes.
What's more, he was just a bystander who was just passing by, not even a participant.
They were essentially no different from the students who volunteered at this conference, and their biggest gain was a dinner.
Not only did I get to know the big guys and leave my basic contact information, but I also got to see their true joys and sorrows in private. Although they have great influence in their respective fields, they also have their limitations.
The boss is not a god and cannot be omnipotent. In this respect, he seems to be somewhat similar to himself. Even if he goes upstream to live his life again, what he can do is quite limited.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng was not depressed. Instead, he felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart and felt a little free and easy .
You are just a lucky person who won the lottery. You are not here to save the world. Why think so much? Just do it.
Of course, after the dinner, Zhou Dongsheng thought about it for a moment and quickly realized that all this was due to the face of Ding Sanshi, the pig farming tycoon. During the dinner, Zhou Dongsheng might have been a little "confused as to the situation" and did not feel it deeply.
When he was alone in the hotel, Zhou Dongsheng recalled it briefly and came to his senses. Although Zhou Dongsheng was not a smart person, he at least had some life experience.
After realizing that the big boss Ding Sanshi was willing to take care of him, the slightly teasing joke of "restoring the glory of the pig farm" reappeared in Zhou Dongsheng's mind.
If you want to get involved in the business, you need power and background. Even if Ding Sanshi is just admiring you and just wants to help the younger generation, Zhou Dongsheng will naturally accept this favor.
Although he met his "fellow villager" Xiao Ma Ge at the dinner party, Zhou Dongsheng was certainly not naive enough to think that he could become friends with him just based on the friendship between them. Even if he tried to do so, he would not get anything good.
What's more, Zhou Dongsheng is now very confident and there is no need for him to flatter others out of desperation.
In comparison, Ding Sanshi, the elegant and easy-going boss, is easier to get along with.
However, Zhou Dongsheng is not really an "illegitimate child" after all. Even if the boss has a good personality, it is impossible for him to provide help without asking for anything else. Appreciation and kindness are always limited...
After thinking it through, Zhou Dongsheng also seemed to understand why Ding Sanshi was so generous to such a "small" project as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and gave him strong support by symbolically accepting 10% of the shares.
Even though in his own opinion, 10% of the shares are already valuable, but in the eyes of the big boss Ding Sanshi, it is probably not worth mentioning, at least so far.
"The boss's vision is really different. He knows how to give opportunities to young people. Unlike some people, they eat when they have a job and curse when they put it down..." Zhou Dongsheng sighed.
Then he couldn't help thinking, since the big guy has given me so much face, I should at least return the favor. After all, one thing is one thing, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and the Wuzhen Summit is the Wuzhen Summit.
Especially when you eat other people's pork, as the saying goes, one who eats someone's food will be soft-hearted, and one who takes someone's money will be grateful, not to mention that you have both.
Therefore, after the Wuzhen Summit ended, Zhou Dongsheng, who left the same way he came, still took Ding Sanshi's car.
After chatting for a while, Zhou Dongsheng pretended to be hesitant and said, "Brother Ding, there is something..."
"Just say it." Ding Sanshi waved his hand nonchalantly, thinking that Zhou Dongsheng was probably going to talk about the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Although the public beta has been running for less than a month, Ding Sanshi believes that the game is already a successful work based on the various data currently displayed.
Especially for a young man like Zhou Dongsheng, who is young but very courageous, he dares to act boldly in what he believes in. Not only did he invest in Huang Zheng, but even the game he tinkered with performed well...
In addition, after spending just three days together, Ding Sanshi's already high opinion of him was further enhanced.
"It's not a big deal, actually. I invested in a short video project and plan to hold an annual awards ceremony at the end of the month. If possible, I would like to invite Brother Ding to attend..."
"Short video?" Ding Sanshi pondered the word for a moment, then said it with a hint of sarcasm.
"You are indeed from the same hometown as Lao Ma. You are targeting any project of Tengda that hits a roadblock, right?"
First there was e-commerce, and then there were short videos. If you really make a far-fetched connection, these were indeed big projects that Tenda missed. However, it is obvious that Ding Sanshi was just making a casual remark.
"Why did you think of inviting me?" Ding Sanshi changed the subject and asked with interest.
"I can't help it. The most powerful boss I know is Brother Ding. If you attend this award ceremony, it will naturally be very valuable. I personally am very optimistic about the prospects and future of this project."
"If you want to go far in the music short video track, you will definitely need music resources in the future. Zhuchang's cloud music business and encouragement and support for individual musicians are a perfect match for the positioning of music short videos..."
"So, not only do I want to invite Brother Ding to attend the award ceremony, I also want to invite Brother Ding to invest in this music short video project. It would be great if he could lead the investment."
Zhou Dongsheng said this half-jokingly and half-seriously. After all, when he had deceived Yang Luyu, Zhou Dongsheng had also promised to bring the pig farm in and make it bigger and stronger together.
After all, even if he wanted to seize the initiative and block the path of Toutiao, Zhou Dongsheng would not be able to do it alone.
The essence of business competition is no different from burning money, and squeezing out competitors by burning money is also a common tactic for successful and well-connected bosses.
It highlights the fact that one force can defeat a hundred skills. This principle almost runs through the history of the development of the Internet, whether it is the battle between thousands of groups, the live broadcast war, or the takeaway war.
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally no exception.
Just as Huang Zheng worked through the product logic and gained market recognition, he decisively launched the "four-in-one" model and created Pinxixi.
After Zhou Dongsheng's tireless support, the product logic of Muse Music Short Video has been almost perfected. Whether it is the name change or the award ceremony, they are all preparations for entering the next stage.
If the pig farm can be brought in, there will naturally be no worries about the development of the next link. Even if this round is not successful, Zhou Dongsheng is confident that he can impress Ding Sanshi after another round of development.
But by that time, the entry price will naturally be completely different from before!
"Oh? You are quite ambitious, and in this respect you seem more like a young man. Let's continue to talk about your music short video..." Ding Sanshi asked with interest.
Although this business decision is not something that can be made in a few words, if you can arouse the interest of this big boss, it will naturally be the beginning of success.
