Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 467 Grassroots Model
Zhou Dongsheng thought that as long as he did not respond, public attention would soon shift. After all, it was not uncommon for new things to happen on the Internet every day.
The endless stream of news and reports meant that the public's attention could not be focused on one thing for long, but Zhou Dongsheng still underestimated the impact of his resume.
In his early twenties, he started from scratch and built a fortune of billions, from industry to media to investment. Any one of these points would be shocking enough, let alone Zhou Dongsheng who has achieved all of them.
The public is always keen on creating gods, prodigies, geniuses, and perfect godhoods. After creating gods, they are eager to see the moment when they fall from the altar...
Zhou Dongsheng, who embodies popular factors such as young, grassroots, and self-made, is undoubtedly a perfect material for deification. Under the attention of the public, the three words "Zhou Dongsheng" are undoubtedly the source of traffic.
Many media outlets naturally would not miss such delicious traffic. Although they could not find Zhou Dongsheng himself, they could naturally find the real owner by following the information revealed in his resume.
This is what media professionals are best at.
The first call Zhou Dongsheng received was from Xu Kaidao, who said in a slightly complicated tone: "Boss, from this morning till now, several media outlets have come to the company and want to interview you and invite you to do an exclusive interview..."
As one of the earliest people to follow Zhou Dongsheng, Xu Kaidao initially thought that Zhou Dongsheng was a rich second-generation who treated entrepreneurship as a hobby. As time passed, he was impressed by Zhou Dongsheng.
Xu Kaidao still believes that Zhou Dongsheng must have a mysterious background, otherwise it would be impossible for him to get to know rich second-generations like Principal Wang, and at the same time, his career is soaring and unstoppable.
After all, after many years in society, Xu Kaidao thought he knew the nature of society very well. Money was important, but in this society of relationships, it was far less important than connections...
However, he did not expect that the reality was even more exciting than he had imagined. With many media coming to visit him, Xu Kaidao naturally saw the resume that was widely circulated on the Internet!
Xu Kaidao originally thought that he had thought highly enough of his boss, but he didn't expect that his boss was even more awesome than he imagined!
No matter how impressive one’s background is, it is not as shocking as the four words “started from scratch”. After all, even the most impressive second generation cannot escape the glory of their parents, but the first generation is different…
It even gave Xu Kaidao the illusion that he had been living like a dog for decades.
"Please decline their offer on my behalf. I guess in a couple of days when I'm no longer popular, they will stop paying attention to me." Zhou Dongsheng rubbed his forehead and said with a headache.
"Okay, boss. But boss...is that resume real?" Xu Kaidao couldn't resist his curiosity and asked this question. Considering his relationship with the boss, it wasn't presumptuous to ask this.
"Emmm, it's kind of true." Zhou Dongsheng admitted, except that the World Cup and stock trading were not included, otherwise this resume would be more topical.
A lucky man who was struck by good luck again and again, not only did he not squander his good luck, but he also took advantage of it to start from scratch and lay a foundation...
After hanging up the phone, another call came in immediately. This time it was from Yang Luyu, "Wow, Mr. Zhou, you're famous. Several media outlets came to our company early in the morning and asked to interview you by name..."
"Don't laugh at me, I'm already feeling annoyed." Zhou Dongsheng smiled .
Because of this incident, I am afraid that I will not be able to use the tiger's skin to do big things in the future. After all, my clean background has been completely exposed.
Fortunately, I have accumulated a strong enough foundation and no longer need to rely on this trick to fool others. Compared with the illusory background, real achievements are obviously more convincing.
"How dare I laugh at you? I'm envious. I'm over 30 years old and it took me a lot of effort to build this business. I'm still very proud of it."
"I didn't expect that compared with President Zhou, I am nothing. It's true that this guy is so infuriating." Yang Luyu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Although he knew Zhou Dongsheng's background, Yang Luyu did not regret it at all. Instead, he respected him more and more, and the image of Zhou Dongsheng in his mind became even more lofty.
What's wrong with being young? The most accomplished are the teachers, and there are many examples like Zhou Dongsheng around the world.
Not to mention the distant past, the founder of Facebook, a social platform that is popular overseas, was only 20 years old when he founded Facebook while in school... and at the age of 28, he became the youngest billionaire in the world.
Even so, it did not prevent Yang Luyu from being shocked by Zhou Dongsheng's resume. After all, things that happened around him were always more amazing than distant legends.
"I'm just lucky. Mr. Yang, please don't make fun of yourself. I'm still counting on you to help me make a lot of money..." Zhou Dongsheng used his usual excuse of luck and casually passed it off.
"But Mr. Zhou can consider doing this interview. After all, fame is not all bad for us. It can be a help if used well."
Yang Luyu did not delve into the topic and instead changed the subject to talk about the interview.
"Emmm, let me think about it." Zhou Dongsheng nodded in agreement, then exchanged a few words of greeting and hung up the phone.
After all, Wenxue Network still has a lot of things to do. The impact of the Golden Second Award is enough for it to digest for some time, not to mention the pig factory investment.
After getting the investment, he had to expand his recruitment without stopping to solve the problem of insufficient staff. However, no matter how busy he was, it was his own career, so Yang Luyu was naturally very motivated.
Unexpectedly, just after he hung up the call, the phone rang again, making Zhou Dongsheng feel helpless. This time he really felt the impact of becoming famous.
However, when Zhou Dongsheng saw the three words "Ding Sanshi" on the caller ID, he couldn't help but take it seriously. He just laughed as he picked up the phone.
"Brother Ding, you are not here to make fun of me too, are you?" This time Zhou Dongsheng learned to take the initiative.
"Can't you handle this little bit of fame? When I became the richest man in the country, the scene was much bigger than yours." Ding Sanshi said calmly.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile awkwardly. It was true that this Internet tycoon who "sit back and watch the clouds rise" had seen all kinds of storms, and his own problems were indeed not worth mentioning.
"However, it is indeed commendable that you can achieve this at your age. At least it proves that Mr. Duan and I were not wrong." Ding Sanshi changed the subject and praised him.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Dongsheng felt that his vanity was satisfied. After all, the affirmation coming from the mouth of a big boss naturally had different weight.
"With such a good reputation and traffic, why don't you take advantage of it? Are you trying to keep a low profile again, kid?" There was a hint of disappointment in Ding Sanshi's tone.
The young man doesn't act like a young man. If it were such a good opportunity to show off, everyone else would have been overjoyed, but Zhou Dongsheng, this weirdo, would have avoided it.
"You are still young, and being low-key and humble is a good thing, but accumulating fame is not a bad thing either..."
