Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 644: Pulling in Three Steps
These words were somewhat beyond Principal Wang's expectations. He didn't seem to have expected that Zhou Dongsheng actually was optimistic about this very "useless" sharing project.
"Then I still reserve my personal opinion. After all, as an investor in a sharing project, it is understandable that you are confused by the situation. Maybe this project will become one of your few failures..."
Principal Wang did not refute, but he remained stubborn. Just like Chen Ou, a successful entrepreneur must have his own persistence.
If they are like most ordinary people with weak wills, go with the flow and follow the crowd, then they will never be able to reach the threshold of success.
In other words, persistence does not necessarily lead to success, but giving up halfway will definitely prevent you from reaching the other side of success.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled but said nothing, thinking with a sense of evil in his heart, he wondered if the most famous "shit-eating bet" in the shared power bank industry would come into being due to the interference of this butterfly.
It now seems that at least Principal Wang still has his personal opinion. As for the future, Zhou Dongsheng can only wait and see.
When Chen Ou heard that Zhou Dongsheng held the same opinion as him, his eyes lit up slightly. Coupled with the pleasant conversation they had had before, Chen Ou admired this young man very much.
After all, for most people on the path they insist on, loneliness is the norm, and it is obviously not easy to meet a like-minded person.
Although Chen Ou didn't know whether Zhou Dongsheng was just speaking for show.
However, it was obviously not appropriate to have a further in-depth conversation at the moment. Chen Ou smiled and said, "If we are free, we can talk again another day. I will not disturb you two for now. You two can chat."
After a few people nodded, Chen Ou walked away with a smile on his face, feeling that the trip was worthwhile.
It was not until Chen Ou left that Principal Wang could not help but ask again, "Are you really optimistic about the shared power bank industry?"
"Why not?" As a person who has been through this, Zhou Dongsheng is very clear about the broad market prospects of this project in the future.
After all, with the further improvement of domestic Internet infrastructure, the speed increase and price reduction of 4G traffic has become inevitable, and the explosion of mobile Internet has even exceeded the expectations of most people.
All ecosystems related to the mobile Internet mean huge market demand, and smartphones, as the entrance to the mobile Internet, have one most basic demand, which is charging.
Human beings living in the era of mobile Internet are like "new energy people". Electricity is their lifeline. Once the mobile phone is turned off, it means losing connection, social interaction and happiness.
The emergence of shared power banks is like the charging piles standing on the streets, providing power supply for new energy users, allowing them to reconnect to the mobile Internet...
Market demand may seem complex, but in essence it is a simple question of supply and demand. This huge hidden market demand is undoubtedly the core driving the rise of the entire shared power bank industry.
Having experienced all of this, Zhou Dongsheng naturally felt that all of this was natural.
However, the shared power bank industry has already appeared several years ago and has been sought after by capital, but it is still lukewarm today and has even become a "negative example" in the capital circle.
Obviously, as an investor, Principal Wang holds the opposite opinion.
"That shouldn't be the case. The fake demand industry of shared power banks, with their low prices and consumers' need to charge their batteries outside, is itself a demand with extremely low consumption frequency..."
"If we want to achieve the premise of shared charging, we must lay a large number of shared power banks. Not only will the investment be huge, but there are also potential limitations such as difficulty in making profits, and the prospects are very limited."
"What's more, with the development of battery technology, the anxiety about mobile phone battery life will be solved by either charging technology or battery technology..."
Principal Wang spoke seriously about his understanding. It was obvious that he was not optimistic about this industry, and it was not without reason. In the face of facts and data, these were obvious facts.
However, sometimes the success and rise of some industries are often contrary to common sense. If you don’t choose to go against the mainstream, how can you get that one in a million chance of success?
Isn’t entrepreneurial success itself a low-probability event? The principle that one general’s success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers has been universal throughout the ages.
"What you said are indeed the pain points of this industry, but demand is not static. With the rapid development of mobile Internet in the future, the power consumption rate of new things such as live broadcast and short video will inevitably be alarming, and battery technology and charging technology may not be able to keep up with this consumption rate..."
"There is always a long time gap between imagination and reality, and this time gap is the space for the shared power bank project to exist, and pseudo-demand will gradually become rigid demand."
Zhou Dongsheng expressed his views concisely.
"Then we can only wait and see. I'll wait and see." Principal Wang said indifferently. It was obvious that neither of them could convince the other.
Zhou Dongsheng was not surprised by this. After all, not everything can be easily rewritten. The worst that can happen is that he can just make a fortune in silence.
Just as the two were chatting, a beautiful figure appeared like a patient hunter who had been waiting for a long time and finally found a suitable opportunity to intervene.
Zhang Dayi's well-cut black miniskirt wrapped around her ordinary figure, revealing her most outstanding features. Her pair of smooth, white, straight long legs were enough to make up for the shortcomings of her figure and became an eye-catching highlight.
In particular, the background and habits developed as a model allow her to selectively highlight her strengths in dressing and makeup, so that a pure temperament like a lotus emerging from water emerges naturally.
This is also the source of Zhang Dayi's confidence. After all, this is the best era for her, because the subjective factor of "beauty" has become a bargaining chip that can be monetized.
Just as Zhou Dongsheng and Principal Wang were having a great conversation, Xue Li, who was standing next to Principal Wang, had an awkward but polite smile on her face. What else could she do except smile apologetically?
This kind of topic was obviously not something she could get involved in. Just as she was confused, Zhang Dayi's approach seemed to trigger the law of "like repels like", which shocked Xue Li and she looked at Zhang Dayi with hostility .
After all, both of them are top influencers in the online influencer market, and their influence on Weibo is almost the same. However, today at the Internet Celebrity Day celebration, Sydney successfully surpassed Zhang Dayi and won the title of the most commercially valuable influencer.
Zhang Dayi was equally impressive, winning the title of Best Fashion Celebrity, which can be described as a tit-for-tat match.
In fact, if we put aside Wang Xuechang’s traffic code, Zhang Dayi can easily leave him behind by several streets in terms of commercial value…
This is exactly what made Zhang Dayi have some thoughts in her heart.
As if she had sensed Xue Li's hostile gaze, Zhang Dayi looked at her without fear, with a meaningful look in her eyes.
Before Xueli could interpret the meaning of his eyes, Zhang Dayi had already turned her gaze to Zhou Dongsheng, and then put on a harmless smile on her face...
"Hello... Mr. Zhou! I'm your fan. I've watched your videos several times. They're so interesting. Can I take a photo with you?" Zhang Dayi took the initiative.
When Xue Li saw that he was not coming for Principal Wang, she couldn't help but feel relieved. However, as people of the same kind, the other party's intention of looking for Zhou Dongsheng was naturally obvious.
Zhou Dongsheng turned his head and saw a pretty face with a smile on her face, which surprised him a little.
Zhou Dongsheng is now well-informed . He has seen countless young and beautiful faces and has become accustomed to them.
Naturally, he would not be moved by Zhang Dayi's appearance. He just didn't expect that he didn't come to her, but the other party came to him first.
So he smiled brightly and said very gentlemanly, "Of course, it's my honor."
Naturally, Zhang Dayi noticed all the subtle changes in Zhou Dongsheng's expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little complacent in her heart, thinking that her killer move that always worked was still effective.
The prey has been hooked, and now we just need to pursue it and follow the routine...
Zhang Dayi was thinking about this in her heart, but her face revealed an expression of flattered joy at the right time, and she controlled the attitude of a little girl very well.
In response to this, Principal Wang, who knew the situation clearly, smiled but said nothing. He was very familiar with this kind of treatment.
If I didn't have a female companion by my side, wouldn't I be the one who was popular?
"Hey, there's an old friend over there, Dongsheng, I'll excuse myself first. I'll go over to catch up with him." Principal Wang was not an unromantic person. He found an excuse and left with Xueli in his arms.
Before leaving, he gave Zhou Dongsheng an encouraging look.
As soon as Principal Wang left, Zhang Dayi felt more at ease. She took out her cell phone and came forward to ask for a photo. While taking the photo, she intentionally or unintentionally shortened the distance between them.
A refreshing fragrance immediately penetrated into Zhou Dongsheng's nostrils, making him sigh, "It's so high, really high."
Right from the start, the so-called social distance was broken without a trace, directly shortening the distance between the two sides...
It turns out that those who can achieve great things always have their own strengths.
Zhou Dongsheng saw through it but didn't say anything. He even seemed to enjoy it a bit, wanting to see what other tricks the other party could use.
After taking the photo, Zhang Dayi had no intention of distancing herself from them. She naturally maintained an intimate distance between the two of them, and continued with an admiring look on her face.
"I have always been very interested in making short videos, but the results have always been poor. I didn't expect that Mr. Zhou would just make a series of short videos and it would become a hit on the Internet!"
"You must have mastered some amazing secret, can you please let me know?"
Zhang Dayi blinked her innocent big eyes and stared at Zhou Dongsheng, looking eager to learn, as if she really came here to seek advice.
"The secret is actually in the video. I believe that with Miss Zhang's intelligence, it should not be difficult for her to guess it." Zhou Dongsheng did not surrender, but instead retreated to advance, and then looked at Zhang Dayi with interest.
Let's see if this fan is pretending or has really watched these videos...
However, this did not bother Zhang Dayi at all. After all, she came prepared. "Mr. Zhou, you don't think the secret is to be rich, right? I can't learn that."
Zhou Dongsheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "That's true. Apart from that, I really don't have any other advantages worth mentioning."
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhou is so humorous, no wonder he can produce such excellent works!" Zhang Dayi smiled charmingly and put one hand on Zhou Dongsheng's shoulder.
The other hand habitually lifted her beautiful hair, performing a close-range hair-lifting attack.
It has to be said that these little tricks are effective tricks for most men, especially when they have superior appearance...
That will be even more advantageous. After all, most men will not refuse a beautiful woman who throws herself into their arms and takes the initiative to show her affection.
If these tricks are used properly, they can undoubtedly quickly narrow the distance between the two sides. If done intentionally, it will naturally achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Otherwise, truly high-end hunters often appear in the form of prey, and fishing enforcement has always been effective.
As for who is the hunter and who is the prey...that's hard to say.
"Mr. Zhou is so modest. Can I have your contact information so that I can learn from you in the future?"
After Zhang Dayi laughed, she naturally distanced herself from him. Obviously, for Zhang Dayi, the results achieved were enough, and if she continued to be greedy for credit and advance recklessly, she might end up being too hasty.
What's more, Zhang Dayi is well aware that no one will cherish things that are too easy to get.
Next, you just need to consolidate the results you have achieved and then proceed slowly. Asking for contact information directly can naturally lay the foundation for future development.
Zhou Dongsheng enjoyed the smooth operation very much. It turned out that every rat has its own way and every snake has its own way. He really broadened his horizons today.
No wonder Zhang Dayi was able to easily control a certain senior executive in the future. It turns out that she has some abilities.
Zhou Dongsheng was not afraid of this and happily exchanged contact information with him, and even deliberately issued an invitation.
"How about we find a place to have a midnight snack later, Miss Zhang, if you're free?"
"I really want to have a midnight snack with Mr. Zhou. I haven't talked enough. But I have to stay in shape and can't have a midnight snack. Besides, I have other things to do..." Zhang Dayi was secretly happy in her heart, but on the surface she looked very conflicted and apologetic.
"Is that so? That's a pity. We'll talk about it next time when we have a chance." Zhou Dongsheng said with regret.
At this time, in order to consolidate the victory, Zhang Dayi expressed her apologies reluctantly, and then left cleanly and neatly without any delay.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile. Should this smooth operation be given a name like "Pulling in Three Steps"?
Although it is simple, being able to play it as smoothly and seamlessly as Zhang Dayi does require some skill.
"Interesting..." Zhou Dongsheng thought with interest, not taking it seriously at all, and stretched lazily.
This Red Man Festival celebration was quite rewarding, and it’s time to go home.
