Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 718 The Invisible Net
"I can only brag about my achievements to others. I am really embarrassed in front of you, Brother Huang. You make me feel embarrassed..." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hands repeatedly.
"You're bragging to others, but you're pretending to be good in front of me, right? If you can't even show off your 10 billion fortune, then what's my achievement compared to yours?"
As the two had dealt with each other many times, Huang Zheng spoke without any mercy, with two words written on his face: Don't pretend with me, kid, I won't fall for it.
"Hey, others may not know, but don't you, Brother Huang? If you squeeze out the water from the so-called 10 billion assets, how much gold content will be left? It's not real gold and silver. If you really calculate it this way, Brother Huang, you're probably not much behind..."
"At the very least, in my opinion, Pinxixi has much more potential than this. This business can push Huang Ge to a higher level. Becoming a billionaire may be my destination , but it is definitely your starting point."
"And this unit, it has to be Daole!"
Zhou Dongsheng's standard pronunciation has some of the demeanor of a legal advisor, and even the flattery he gave shows the demeanor of a legal advisor. Although they both have the surname Huang, Huang Zheng is not Mr. Huang.
"Don't praise me too much, kid. We are in the same boat. It will not do you any good if you praise me too much." Huang Zheng said jokingly while drinking tea with a smile on his face.
"How come there is no benefit? I was counting on Brother Huang to continue to help me make money, so that my title of a billionaire with nothing but appearance will become a real one." Zhou Dongsheng said happily.
In fact, this is true. What capital is best at is to promote and create bubbles, accurately harvest after overdrawing future expectations, and then quickly leave.
This is the case in the stock market, and it is naturally no exception in the primary market. Although the form is different, the essence has not changed much. It can be said that "odd things change, but even things remain the same"... cough cough, I've gotten off topic.
Although compared with the future expectations that Zhou Dongsheng knew, this title was absolutely real and there was no exaggeration at all. In fact, unless there were any accidents, the future would be far from this.
But this does not in the least prevent the fact that at the moment, there is indeed a bit of "water" in this title.
"Come on, you are no less capable than me. You have already established Dongsheng Group. What are you going to do next?" Huang Zheng could not deny it, but instead threw a question to Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, unlike Huang Zheng, who is fighting hard against one tree in the three e-commerce fields, Zhou Dongsheng's stall is somewhat like casting a wide net to catch more fish.
The move of groupization is like the invisible net closing in, pulling back the stalls that have been spread out, and the fish in the net are all big and heavy fish.
Zhou Dongsheng, who was pulling the fishing net, naturally returned with a full load, which made Huang Zheng, who was also at sea, feel deeply moved.
Recalling the time when the two met for the first time, they hit it off and had a great conversation. Zhou Dongsheng's forward-looking social e-commerce concept gave Huang Zheng sudden enlightenment, and they hit it off and completed the first round of financing.
At that time, it was just the initial trial stage of promoting the products. Later, the sudden liquidation crisis was overcome thanks to Zhou Dongsheng's financing.
Now, times have changed. Pinxixi has already completed financing of over 100 million US dollars, and Zhou Dongsheng has also jumped from an unknown investor to a successful person with assets worth tens of billions.
Not only has he become famous in the investment field, but he has also created the rising star of Dongsheng Group.
Originally, as a new entrant in the e-commerce field, Pinxixi has grown at a speed as fast as sparks and lightning, breaking many records in the traditional e-commerce field and successfully accumulating over 100 million users.
However, in comparison, although Pinduoduo's growth rate is very fast, it is somewhat dwarfed by Zhou Dongsheng.
Huang Zheng couldn't help but feel happy from the bottom of his heart as they moved forward side by side in this way. After all, it is a great blessing in life to meet like-minded people who share the same ideals and grow together.
Most people just drift apart as time goes by. It can be said that it is rare to have a true friend in life.
Therefore, Huang Zheng was naturally very curious about what Zhou Dongsheng was going to do next after the establishment of Dongsheng Group?
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't intend to hide this kind of thing. Huang Zheng had similar thoughts, so did Zhou Dongsheng.
In the past, I was the person standing at the foot of the mountain, and Huang Zheng was the person standing at the top of the mountain. In the eyes of both parties, the other's existence was equally insignificant.
And now he has the opportunity to step onto the stage and compete on the same stage with those who were originally standing on the top of the mountain. This undoubtedly makes Zhou Dongsheng feel excited.
Originally, I just wanted to hitch a ride, rub the leg hair of these big guys, and just get the title of a comfortable old man.
Unconsciously, perhaps it was the stimulation of the rapid secretion of hormones in a young body in his early twenties that ignited Zhou Dongsheng's inner fighting spirit and he began to stir.
Especially as the chips in hand increase, the urge to go to the table and show off can no longer be suppressed.
As the old saying goes, "When you have a sharp weapon, you will naturally want to kill." By the same token, when you have accumulated enough assets, you will naturally want to do things that you cannot do.
For Zhou Dongsheng, it might be quite interesting to break through himself and achieve a career that he never dared to think of before.
Even if he ended up losing everything, Zhou Dongsheng still left himself hundreds of millions of ways to live a decent life.
With a clear goal, the next things to do will naturally be much simpler. No matter what you do, it is to move towards the goal.
Therefore, facing Huang Zheng's question, Zhou Dongsheng naturally had a lot to say, and when it comes to what Dongsheng Group will do next...
"Since Brother Huang asked, I will tell you the truth. Dongsheng Group has just been established, and it will take some time to integrate and adjust the management structure..."
"So I'm not planning to make a big move, but I am planning to make full use of the influence of the Internet celebrities under the group's name to contribute to public welfare and charity, and do small things within my ability..."
"It's just right. I can also take this opportunity to teach them a lesson so that they don't do anything weird. I can't control the dirty things in the circle, but I can't control the Dongsheng Group."
Zhou Dongsheng said very straightforwardly that this was also a long-term goal he had set.
When an individual grows to a large enough size, something invisible and intangible like social responsibility will become a test that he or she must inevitably face.
Just like when your income is high enough, paying taxes is an obligation and responsibility you cannot escape.
It’s just that those internet celebrities who are lucky enough to catch the train of the times often have their ideological awareness not keeping up with their income level, which leads to them accidentally ending up in jail.
Zhou Dongsheng, who has never eaten pork but has actually seen "pigs being slaughtered", is completely different from the Internet celebrities. His ideological awareness far exceeds his income level.
And those lofty ambitions that I once said casually, such as "If I earn so much, I will pay taxes actively and do more charity."
Now it is Zhou Dongsheng's turn to really have a "bull". In order not to repeat the same mistakes, there is no need to say more about what he should do.
Coming from Zhou Dongsheng's mouth, these words were somewhat beyond Huang Zheng's expectations. After the establishment of Dongsheng Group, Zhou Dongsheng did not become complacent or imagine the future, but instead gave back to society first?
Now Huang Zheng really only has two words he wants to say: "Pattern"!
Huang Zheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "With your ideological awareness, no wonder you have such a deep insight into the strategies of 'surrounding the cities with the countryside' and 'poverty alleviation'..."
“It was only after Pinduoduo became successful that I realized how huge the sinking market in our country is, and that there are still so many people who are still hiding in the prosperity of the country and remain silent…”
Huang Zheng couldn't help but feel deeply moved. This is why so many people don't understand the success of Pinxixi. They are just blinded by the increasingly prosperous country and ignore the fact that we are a big country with a population of more than 1.3 billion compatriots...
"What are you going to do?" Huang Zheng asked again. Although it was the same question, it obviously meant something different.
Although some of Pinxixi's despicable tactics are disgusting and offensive, it is also true that it has done some real things and achieved some great results.
Among them, Pinxixi's accumulation of channels in the sinking market has undoubtedly played a significant role in helping farmers and dealing with unsaleable agricultural products, which was already reflected in its predecessor "Tuihaohuo".
Of course, while doing good things, Huang Zheng also reaped a lot of benefits. Not only was he able to gain a moral advantage, but he was also able to better capture the sinking market.
Not to mention, there are real policy incentives. After all, helping farmers get rid of poverty is undoubtedly a cause that conforms to the general trend of the country.
The lessons of history tell us that anything that goes against the historical trend may have a good start, but it will definitely not have a good ending.
“Those who follow the will prosper, those who go against the will perish” is not only applicable in history, but also in the present.
"The reason why I invited Brother Huang to have a small gathering today is naturally due to this factor. Although 'Tuihaohuo' and 'Pinxixi' have officially merged, I believe that Brother Huang will not fall behind in the cause of helping farmers..."
"You have the channels, I have the traffic, and if we work together, isn't this a natural outcome?"
"As for how to do it, Internet celebrities, as aggregators of traffic, already have a lot of fans, and doing good things like charity is a good thing for them with only benefits and no harm."
"At the same time, fans can also get some high-quality and low-priced agricultural products, and at the same time they can gain the spiritual pleasure of helping others. It can be said that it is killing two birds with one stone..."
“As for the format, it’s not difficult. Just live streaming to sell goods is enough. This method is naturally suitable for Internet celebrities to interact with fans, so it just comes in handy!”
"In terms of platforms, compared with live streaming platforms, Douyin, a short video platform based on mobile terminals, is undoubtedly more suitable. Moreover, this form of music short videos also performs strongly in the sinking market and has a sufficient user base..."
Zhou Dongsheng talked eloquently, gesticulating and describing a grand blueprint in front of Huang Zheng. Although he verbally said it was a public welfare cause , when every point was connected...
Huang Zheng couldn't help but discover an amazing fact!
