Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 691: Advancing at a Rapid Speed
Just as there is no impenetrable wall in the world, capital, which is eager for profits, is also omnipresent.
As long as they smell a hint of profit, they will definitely grab it in their hands and swallow it in one gulp, even if it means digging three feet into the ground.
With the two leading shared bicycle companies announcing the completion of their Series C financing, this undoubtedly added fuel to the booming shared bicycle industry.
It also means that the two leading sheep are ready to start wrestling. Not only can't there be two tigers on one mountain, but a flock of sheep also cannot allow the existence of two leading sheep.
At this moment, the shared bicycle industry is undoubtedly the flock of sheep.
However, no matter how the two leaders wrestle, Zhou Dongsheng is like the fisherman who is waiting for the opportunity, smiling at the fight between the snipe and the clam, ready to profit.
Although Ofo and Mobike are the protagonists standing on the stage, the spotlight always sweeps over Zhou Dongsheng sitting in the audience from time to time.
There is no way. With such an eye-catching record in hand, no matter how much Zhou Dongsheng wants to keep a low profile, a man as outstanding as him, no matter where he hides, is like a firefly in the darkness, so bright, so outstanding... ahem, just a pure tribute.
Such a rising and shining new star in the investment industry will naturally receive more research.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng never fails when he takes action, and his record of repeated success makes it hard not to be curious and want to find out more about him and understand the code to his wealth.
Although Zhou Dongsheng is a self-taught person who started his career late and has a completely clean background, there is never a shortage of such talents in the capital market.
For the capital market where profits are paramount, simplicity is the best way to go and return to nature. Only real profits are real, and everything else is false.
Especially since Zhou Dongsheng is so young, the saying that youth is capital can be said to apply to any industry.
It is better to become famous early, and it is obvious that Zhou Dongsheng has already embarked on this path and is going further and further.
If we count the investments made by Dongsheng Investment, projects with financing scale exceeding hundreds of millions of US dollars are no longer isolated cases.
Whether it is the two major shared bicycle projects, Pinxixi, or the equally booming Douyin, they are all enough to be listed among them.
What's more, with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds as a cash cow, this project no longer needs to prove itself with the scale of financing.
Although this is a "free" game, the actual revenue it has generated has quietly exceeded hundreds of millions of US dollars. Its ability to make money is simply terrifying.
Such a phenomenal game that is popular all over the world is undoubtedly a gold mine. The profits from mining the surface alone are so astonishing, and its future profits are still an unknown.
And with the successful holding of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competition and the addition of e-sports elements, the mining life of this gold mine will undoubtedly be greatly extended.
Previously, the capital market's valuation of Dongsheng Investment was very conservative, starting at US$1 billion.
However, times have changed. The conservative valuation of the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which has generated hundreds of millions of US dollars in revenue, is enough to reach the US$1 billion range.
After all, for a game with such terrifying revenue capabilities, a valuation of 10 times the PE is already too conservative.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is a rumor among the current shareholders that they will cash out and leave at a valuation of 10 times the PE, there will definitely be many people willing to take over.
It doesn't even require outsiders to intervene, as the business is directly absorbed internally. After all, the wealthy pig factory definitely doesn't mind spending the money to take over.
Of course, if you are not in urgent need of money, no one would be willing to do such a thing as killing the chicken to get the eggs. After all, this is a rooster that lays eggs .
As the largest shareholder of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Dongsheng Investment is undoubtedly the real winner.
In addition to the two popular shared bikes, there is also Pinxixi, which has raised the banner of "social e-commerce" and has been approved by Tengda Capital...
The original US$1 billion valuation of Dongsheng Investment is obviously outdated. Even if it doubles, it is not an exaggeration, and it may even be more than double...
And when one thinks about it to this level, a terrible fact naturally becomes apparent.
As Zhou Dongsheng who has 100% control over Dongsheng Investment, his net worth has quietly increased to over 10 billion yuan?!
Although a net worth of tens of billions may be "not worth mentioning" on major wealth lists, let alone in the top 100, he will be ranked hundreds of places away at least.
However, when one realizes that this is a self-made man in his early twenties, the value of his 10 billion fortune is enough to make people gasp and say "shocked".
So terrifying!
If I were to add one more sentence to describe this value, it would be that this kid must not be kept!
Such a young wealth growth myth and such a topical wealth miracle have completely become famous in the capital market.
The fame that followed also grew exponentially for Zhou Dongsheng. Even two major magazines famous for counting celebrities and wealthy people came to him and sought his opinion.
After all, these two rich lists are more of an entertainment nature. On the one hand, they satisfy the public's curiosity, and on the other hand, they also provide a platform for the wealthy who pursue fame and fortune to make a name for themselves.
Both parties get what they need and it is mutually beneficial, so naturally the person’s permission is needed to accurately calculate the amount of wealth in his hands.
In order to ensure the authenticity and timeliness of each year's list, the staff of the two magazines naturally need to do relevant research work.
"Boss, people from Forbes and Hurun want to seek your opinion..."
The staff of the two major magazines naturally called Zhou Dongsheng's assistant, who then passed the message on.
At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng, who is working at Yinian Media in Hangzhou, only realized this fact belatedly when Li Jiana pushed the door open and told him the news.
For a moment, Zhou Dongsheng felt a little dazed and unreal, as if he had just returned to 2014.
The same illusion, the same unreality, as if it were just a dream.
Have I become the legendary billionaire?
To be honest, after the trance came back, Zhou Dongsheng was not dazzled by the wealth. Instead, he felt unusually calm.
It is not even as strong as the impact brought by the first pot of gold in the World Cup. After all, the first pot of gold symbolizes a breakthrough from zero to one.
But now, it is just like a snowball, it keeps getting bigger and bigger. The title of the so-called billionaire is more or less a bit exaggerated.
After all, a fortune of hundreds of billions is just a valuation of Zhou Dongsheng's assets. Assets will expand and naturally shrink.
This is also the reason why the wealth of many wealthy people fluctuates greatly. Billions of wealth evaporate at any time, which is jaw-dropping. It seems that the money in the capital market is no longer money, but just a pile of bubbles.
However, it is estimated that only Zhou Dongsheng knows that the assets in his hands are not only solid and without any water, but also have vast room for growth in the future...
Just as Zhou Dongsheng was lost in thought and lost in thought over the title of "10 billion-dollar fortune", Li Jiana was standing there quietly in front of him.
With a pair of fox eyes, he looked at Zhou Dongsheng in front of him. Although he was Zhou Dongsheng's personal assistant, he had a very deep understanding of Zhou Dongsheng.
But when she heard that Zhou Dongsheng's net worth had exceeded 10 billion, Li Jiana couldn't help but be stunned.
After all, this kind of wealth is enough to make one rank at the top of the national wealth pyramid and become one of the small group of people standing at the top.
Even if we look at the world as a whole, those with a net worth of more than 1 billion US dollars are also the richest group of people in the world.
When she came to her senses, Li Jiana couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate for the choice she made. There was no doubt that she had seized a potential stock with unlimited potential and firmly grasped a precious golden opportunity...
Looking at the young and handsome Zhou Dongsheng in front of her, Li Jiana couldn't help but feel a little amorous as her heart was surging.
Although as Zhou Dongsheng's assistant, Li Jiana was well aware of his philandering behavior, but she never thought of overstepping her bounds.
After all, what man is not unfaithful, let alone Zhou Dongsheng who has achieved such success at such a young age?
It is not surprising that Zhou Dongsheng is unfaithful. It would be strange if he were not unfaithful.
Seeing that Zhou Dongsheng has become one of the billionaires, Li Jiana has completely understood that the man in front of her is no longer someone she can control.
Unless... using some dirty and shameful means and taking risks, there might be a chance.
However, you must also be mentally prepared to bear Zhou Dongsheng's anger.
However, in just a moment, Li Jiana completely eliminated the signs of this dangerous thought. Given her current position, there was no need to gamble everything on one throw.
As long as you abide by your duties, you will have the opportunity to get considerable rewards...
After all, love affairs may come and go, but confidants remain forever. No matter how powerful Zhou Dongsheng is, he still needs people to do things for him.
Since she has chosen this path, Li Jiana has already known very clearly what she should do.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't know that the beauty in front of him was already feeling mixed emotions.
Zhou Dongsheng felt that at this moment he was just like in the game, because he picked up a magic weapon, his combat power value skyrocketed, giving him the opportunity to be among the combat power rankings of the entire server.
Then a system prompt popped up in front of me.
"Are you willing to be on the system leaderboard?"
The words fame and fortune have always been complementary to each other, as the saying goes, a person's fame is like the shadow of a tree, and the wind blows the poplar catkins and their fame spreads far and wide.
Making a fortune in silence is good, but the potential benefits that fame can bring are also an intangible wealth.
In fact, this option had long lost its suspense for Zhou Dongsheng.
When Zhou Dongsheng chose to show up and stand on the stage, he had already made his choice.
"Give the two companies a positive answer. Having this reputation will be of great benefit to me as an investor. I think I have no reason to refuse..."
Zhou Dongsheng leaned back in his boss chair and said with high spirits.
It's a rare opportunity to go through this again, so I have to experience the feeling of being young and energetic. If I'm not young and energetic, can I be called a young person?
"Okay, boss. I will convey your message to the two magazines truthfully." Li Jiana said coquettishly.
At this time, Zhou Dongsheng was in high spirits, and his young body was secreting hormones almost uncontrollably.
As we all know, human behavior is influenced to a certain extent by hormone levels. The older we get, the more drastically our hormone levels drop.
Even if I occasionally feel like reveling in my youth, my body is unable to do so.
However, no matter how old the soul is, once it returns to a vibrant body and is immersed in the stimulation of hormones, it will naturally recover to its youthful state slowly.
What's more, Zhou Dongsheng, who has passed the age of 30, is still quite far from being "old and frail".
At this moment, Zhou Dongsheng, who was in high spirits and clear-minded, looked at the beautiful Li Jiana in front of him, and his body naturally responded in the most honest way.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but hook his finger at Li Jiana, his fiery eyes did not hide his desire at all.
Li Jiana immediately understood what he meant, and locked the door sensibly. Then she walked towards Zhou Dongsheng slowly, her eyes becoming more and more moist, like thickening sauce...
There is a saying that ~
She moves her wrist weakly and lazily, and she bows delicately.
Sweat beads, messy green hair. ——Yuan Zhen's "Thirty Rhymes of Huizhen Poetry"
I have to say that when it comes to artistic conception, only the ancients could grasp it (funny).
…
Of course, despite Zhou Dongsheng's consent, the statistical work of these two magazines will not be completed all at once and will not be announced immediately.
Especially as 2016 is already more than halfway through, both magazines have already begun to compile the relevant information for the 2016 annual list.
In addition to his wealth, Zhou Dongsheng is undoubtedly a strong contender for the list of elites under the age of 30 in terms of fame and influence.
As Zhou Dongsheng's fame grows, the benefits brought by fame, an intangible wealth, will also bring certain returns.
Although the two major lists have not yet taken effect, they have begun to bring benefits to Zhou Dongsheng in the more time-sensitive capital market.
Among them, Dongsheng Investment's brilliant performance has undoubtedly added considerable weight to Yinian Media's round of financing to a certain extent.
After all, they are all assets under Zhou Dongsheng’s name, and the brilliant performance of Dongsheng Investment can never be attributed to Lu Sifang, at least the outside world will not think so.
Through Dongsheng Investment, Zhou Dongsheng has fully demonstrated his "investment talent". Naturally, even Yi Nian Media has to look at him with a higher regard.
After all, the current Yinian Media is not a startup project that has just started, but a high-quality project that has already borne fruit!
Even if we put aside the contribution of Zhou Dongsheng, and even if we count the small piece of land of internet celebrity media, Yi Nian Media is definitely one of the top media.
It is already a piece of fat meat that is juicy and attractive enough. If Zhou Dongsheng's addition is added, it is like putting it on the grill and sprinkling it with cumin, chili powder, sesame seeds...
The fragrance spreads ten miles away in an instant. Who wouldn’t be drooling and hungry when seeing such a delicious project?
At this moment, the capital institutions that had been waiting and watching, could no longer hold back and began to show their sincerity and compete for the opportunity to get on board.
This also means that this round of financing is coming to an end.
