Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 715 Miracles Never End
Unconsciously, an aura of a superior has gradually been brewing in Zhou Dongsheng. Even though he looks young and has an easygoing personality...
However, the people sitting at the bottom, all of whom were much older than Zhou Dongsheng, did not dare to look down on this young man at all.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is not some rich second generation who relies on the halo of his father, but he started from scratch and reached such an incredible height in just two or three years.
Counting every step he took, from being a factory owner starting a business in a small town to transforming into the live broadcast industry, he seized several potential stocks with his keen eyes and promoted them to the top positions in the industry.
Xiaorenmin Media lives up to its name. From a fledgling small business, it has gradually become one of the leading , with a number of top anchors distributed on major platforms.
All these achievements, in the final analysis, are naturally due to the driving force behind the scenes, not Xu Kaidao's glove.
Not only that, it has also set many precedents in the industry, such as being the first anchor with a contract worth over 100 million yuan, and cultivating several top anchors.
For other entrants, the hard-to-find top anchors are coming one after another at Xiaorenwu Media, and they all have close ties with Zhou Dongsheng.
With the launch of the live broadcast economy, a massive "Thousands of Live Broadcast Wars" has been set off, compared to the platforms that are fighting each other for who can sit at the front of the train.
Just when the major platforms were fighting each other to the point of bleeding, capital rushed in and started to lose money to gain publicity.
Zhou Dongsheng, sitting in the first-class cabin, made a fortune quietly, reaped the dividends of the times, completed the original accumulation in a solid way, and accumulated the "first pot of gold" for himself.
To this day, although the market value of the leading platforms has soared, there are still huge losses on the books, and Zhou Dongsheng has made a fortune by taking advantage of the platforms.
And there is no intention of being complacent or stopping, and he continues to explore other industries, whether it is investment attempts or further exploration of Internet celebrity media.
They all achieved success one after another, with an incomprehensible investment success rate and an incredible and amazing rate of return.
It seems that the projects he chooses will not suffer losses, and the internet celebrities he selects will become an overnight hit. Such a unique vision is simply amazing.
Having just got off the live-streaming industry's train of the times, it has turned around and boarded the express train of the internet celebrity economy. As the two trains run side by side, it is quite similar to the merger of CNR and CSR in the stock market (funny).
After all, whether it is a host or a video creator, they all end up being internet celebrities.
If it happens once or twice it is still a coincidence, then when it happens many times it is naturally an inevitable result.
Especially after Dongsheng Investment achieved success in multiple investment projects, this inevitable result was finalized.
In the internet celebrity industry, Zhou Dongsheng has gradually been given the title of "internet celebrity mentor", a title recognized by almost all the internet celebrities promoted by Zhou Dongsheng.
Whether in interviews or live broadcasts, he has mentioned more than once his gratitude and admiration for his boss Zhou Dongsheng, and regarded him as his mentor in life.
It is precisely because of this that the title of "Internet celebrity mentor" was given to Zhou Dongsheng through word of mouth.
As shared bicycles suddenly became popular, the two major companies completed six rounds of financing at an equally fast pace in just half a year.
The scale of financing is getting more and more exaggerated, from millions of US dollars to hundreds of millions of US dollars. It seems that it happened in just a blink of an eye. Two eye-catching leading players have emerged in the new track of shared bicycles.
What is even more unexpected is that when the general public didn’t even know what “shared bicycles” were, Dongsheng Investment had already taken the lead in entering the market and had captured these two major players with exceptional accuracy.
There are traces of investment in the shared yellow bike. After all, on the Peking University campus, this yellow bike has already become a star on campus, contrasting with a number of famous Peking University attractions from ancient times to the present.
But at that time, Mobike hadn’t even produced a finished product yet. It was purely relying on a concept to work hard on the product and overcome the old-fashioned entrepreneurs of technology. Even the funds were almost broken...
Even so, Dongsheng Investment still generously donated money and chose to provide timely assistance, giving Mobike a new lease of life. This allowed Mobike to successfully launch its first generation of "flashy" products.
The high cost was enough to discourage investors, but Zhou Dongsheng still gave his full support and even used the then-hot Papi Jiang to help open up the market for it.
This courage and decisiveness are indeed in line with the youthful vigor of an entrepreneur in his early twenties.
Although the results to date have proven that this young man made the right bet, most people still attribute this gamble to the fact that Zhou Dongsheng made money too quickly, so he didn't feel bad about spending it.
Unexpectedly, I got such a generous reward by accident.
However, when they flipped through the investment projects announced by Dongsheng Investment and counted each investment project, it seemed that each project had successfully brought considerable returns...
No matter how much they wanted to quibble, they had to admit in their hearts: This kid is a real genius!
And looking at Zhou Dongsheng's impressive achievements, they all seem to be in line with the hobbies of a young person. It can be said that he has grasped the preferences of young people today very accurately.
From live streaming to internet celebrities, to investing in new e-commerce, short videos, gaming companies, shared bicycles, and a new style of tea.
In summary, the word "new" is enough to summarize the thinking of this young man Zhou Dongsheng from beginning to end. It seems that this young man is just playing with the new and trendy things that ...
However, capturing the young audience means capturing the future, just like Tenda in the past, which captured the younger generation through social networking and games and soared to success.
From this perspective, Zhou Dongsheng's success seems incredible, but also somewhat reasonable, as if he has a set of young people's logical thinking.
Despite this, it still cannot conceal the brilliant brilliance of this young man. Analysis is analysis, but when so many successes are gathered in one person, it is quietly enough to create Zhou Dongsheng's own unique halo.
And this dazzling light is enough to make people ignore his youth and face up to his achievements.
A hero does not care about his origin, and those who accomplish great things do not care about their age.
The young man in front of him is the helmsman of this entire group, and even the group is named after him.
As the name suggests, the rising sun, the newly established Dongsheng Group is just like the vibrant sun at eight or nine o’clock, young and vigorous!
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Dongsheng's every word and action has reached the point where those below him have to speculate carefully. After all, at this point, a journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step, and no one wants to be the last one to fall due to an accident.
One mistake could lead to a complete loss. No one wants to fall off the battleship of Dongsheng Group, which is currently sailing against the wind and waves.
How many chances can you have to turn things around in your life? If you miss this one, there may not be a next one.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't know that his casual sigh would be interpreted so wildly by the people below. If he knew...
He must be secretly very happy in his heart, he never thought that one day he would become "Lu Xun". Wouldn't he have to say "In front of the office door, there are two trees, one is a money tree, and the other is also a money tree"?
Zhou Dongsheng strolled to the seat of honor, sat down casually, leaned his head back, crossed his hands on his stomach, and adjusted his sitting posture to the most comfortable position for himself.
Then he said slowly, "You all came early, I shouldn't be late."
"No, no, we are early."
"That's right. It's your first time here so you should come early to get familiar with the place."
"That's right, of course we can't let the boss wait for us, what would that be like ?"
The people below couldn't help but smile and echoed in unison. Li Jiana, who was standing next to Zhou Dongsheng, saw everything and couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Life is like a gamble, there are always losers and winners, but now it seems that she has won the bet.
"Okay, let's start the meeting. Xiaoguang, tell us what the rules are for today..." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand casually and pointed at Zhang Xiaoguang.
After all, he was personally in charge of the group process, so it was natural for him to preside over this meeting.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoguang stood up, bowed slightly to Zhou Dongsheng, and then cleared his throat.
"Today is the first meeting of Dongsheng Group since its establishment. The meeting is mainly divided into three parts: finalizing the group's charter, establishing the group's board of directors, and forming the group's management team..."
As Zhang Xiaoguang read out the script verbatim, the entire meeting proceeded smoothly, and some of the regulations that were undisputed were naturally moved forward very quickly.
These include the establishment of a board of directors and the election of a chairman by shareholders, all of which are unimportant formalities. Although they must be done, they are just formalities.
After all, whether it is seats or equity, he has absolute controlling rights over a number of subsidiaries, and he also holds 100% of the parent company Dongsheng Investment. Even if it is a group, Zhou Dongsheng still has absolute control.
If Zhou Dongsheng acts arbitrarily and turns this place into a one-man show, other investors will naturally be helpless and will not even have the right to overturn the table .
The most they can do is withdraw their investment and leave the market angrily, but this would go against the original intention of their investment.
After all, everyone is here to make money, not to seize power. It doesn't matter how arbitrary Zhou Dongsheng is, as long as it doesn't affect everyone's grand goal of making money together.
Therefore, the fact that Zhou Dongsheng became the chairman was just mentioned briefly and there was no need to elaborate on it. At the same time, representatives of investment institutions and pig farms were listed as external directors on the board of directors, each with a seat.
With the support of a number of old investment institutions and pig farms, the newly born Dongsheng Group has enough foundation and background to form a community of interests.
Once someone infringes upon our common interests, we naturally need to work hard to safeguard these common interests.
Soon, the meeting rules came to the most important part, which was about the structure of the group's management team. How to reward people based on their performance and who would be promoted and who would be demoted would all be revealed here.
Apart from a group of shareholders who remained indifferent, the other managers looked at each other in bewilderment, with their own little thoughts in their minds.
In this link, the final power to make the final decision is undoubtedly concentrated in the hands of Zhou Dongsheng alone. Whoever he tells to do it will do it, and if he says no, then it is no.
Fortunately, Zhou Dongsheng is not the kind of person who does things based solely on his personal preferences. He doesn't want to destroy the foundation he has built up with great difficulty.
Therefore, ever since he returned from learning from Ding Sanshi, Zhou Dongsheng has been thinking about this matter a lot.
How to structure the management team undoubtedly depends on the demands and style of the person at the helm, just as if the same general is in the same nest, the same soldiers will be in the same group.
If an army wants to enforce discipline, it not only depends on the ideas in the brain, but also requires the existence of a management center to implement the ideas.
As for whether the management center is efficient or not, the role it plays is even far greater than that of the generals.
As for how to build a system that suits himself, this kind of thing is naturally not something that can be achieved overnight, but after thinking about it these days, Zhou Dongsheng has roughly formed an idea.
When everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Dongsheng, he did not feel any pressure at all. Instead, he yawned and stretched his waist.
No matter how comfortable the posture is, you will still get tired after sitting for a long time. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Regarding the management team, I have thought of a plan. After all, this is not my strong point."
"I have no idea about the feasibility and the implementation effect, so I hope you can help me with some advice. This brainstorming effect is better than making a decision by myself."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled harmlessly, and his humble attitude was like a spring breeze blowing through the conference room, making everyone feel comfortable.
However, some discerning people frowned secretly. This was not the attitude that a helmsman should have. Being too humble was not a good thing either. One must have a bit of iron-blooded tactics.
But soon, they realized that they were overthinking it, and it turned out to be just an illusion of "first courtesy, then force".
"Ahem, in the media department, Old Xu has worked with me the longest, and he can be considered a veteran of the group. But even though he is a veteran..." Zhou Dongsheng paused.
This pause made Xu Kaidao's heart beat faster.
Damn it, you just became the chairman and you are going to use me, a veteran, to establish your authority? My life is over!
“It’s not the time to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. You still have to add more burdens to your shoulders. Don’t complain about being tired. You will have to shoulder more responsibilities in the Media Department…” Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
This heavy breathing way of speaking made Xu Kaidao's mood fluctuate like a roller coaster, and he almost had a heart attack.
But I still breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not a bad thing. He was in charge of the media department, which could be considered a high-ranking official.
"Thank you for your appreciation, boss. I will live up to my mission and perform my duties faithfully..." Xu Kaidao said solemnly.
Some were happy and some were sad. Xu Ruoan on the side couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but according to seniority, he was indeed a little short of the mark.
But Xu Ruoan quickly adjusted his mindset. This was just the beginning. This position was not a permanent one. Being able to sit there for a while did not mean he could stay there forever.
There is still a long way to go, maybe there will be another chance...
Before Xu Ruoan could finish adjusting herself, Zhou Dongsheng called on her.
"Xiao Xu, I'll have to ask you to be Lao Xu's assistant for now, but there is one more thing I want to give you, and this is actually your main job."
"I feel relieved to let you take charge..."
Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile that he was putting his ideas into practice step by step.
