Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 725 Don’t learn from me!
"With the rise of game live streaming, Xiaorenwu Media happened to sign several retired professional players and anchors, and they suddenly became the hottest and scarce talents in the industry..."
Zhou Dongsheng continued his talk along this line of thought. At this time, Bai Jingjing also demonstrated her professional qualities and quickly adjusted her mindset.
At the same time, he took advantage of his homework and continued with a smile, "So, under your leadership, Xiaorenren Media created the first record of a contract worth over 100 million yuan in the game live broadcast industry..."
"And not just one. Others always say that good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. But for you, Dongsheng, it's actually double happiness!"
"With these two top anchors at the helm, Little People Media has become one of the best companies in the industry..."
Bai Jingjing told Zhou Dongsheng all the information she had found as if she knew it by heart. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but nodded and sighed.
"This is the first time I realized that as long as you stand at the forefront of the times, even a pig can fly. This experience of tasting the sweetness has made me sure that my thinking is correct."
"Seizing the youth means seizing the future, so as long as we cater to their preferences and find out what young people like, we may be able to replicate this success..."
Speaking of this, Zhou Dongsheng did not blush or feel nervous. To this day, Zhou Dongsheng's thick skin has long been trained to the point where it is invulnerable to swords and guns. As for telling lies in front of the camera with open eyes, it is naturally child's play.
In the face of Zhou Dongsheng's successful experience, even if it is a set of fallacies and heresies, it can still have some credibility in the face of ironclad facts.
What's more, at first glance, what Zhou Dongsheng said is not unrealistic and has some merits.
"After all, I don't have any education, so I can only rely on this stupid method and follow the principle of practice to gain true knowledge. I believe reporter Bai should be more aware of this..."
As he spoke, Zhou Dongsheng showed a bit of shyness, as if he was ashamed to talk about his low level of education.
It has to be said that since his cameo appearance in a movie, Zhou Dongsheng's natural acting skills have become more and more advanced and have become quite deceptive.
At least Bai Jingjing was indeed bewildered, and couldn't help but admire sincerely: "It is true that anyone who is extraordinary must have something extraordinary about him. This is exactly what is most remarkable about you, Dongsheng."
"The truth that academic qualifications do not necessarily represent ability is well demonstrated in you, Dongsheng. This reminds me of a movie..."
"Forrest Gump, this stupid method I told you about is similar in nature."
After being flattered and affirmed by reporter Bai, Zhou Dongsheng showed an embarrassed smile. This time he was not acting, he was really fooling people to the point that even he felt a little embarrassed.
Zhou Dongsheng 's reaction suddenly made Bai Jingjing realize that Zhou Dongsheng was only 21 years old. Even though he had achieved impressive achievements, he still couldn't hide his immature face.
This also made Bai Jingjing inexplicably feel that the young man in front of her was quite pleasing to the eye...but what Zhou Dongsheng said next immediately made him seem "hateful" again.
"I don't deserve it. I was just lucky. I had some spare money at that time, so I tried to invest. I threw some money into the stock market. I didn't expect to make a lot of money without knowing it..."
"I saw that the money in my hands was increasing. Due to my limited personal ability, I was not sure whether I could manage such a large amount of wealth. So I established Dongsheng Investment and continued to practice my stupid method..."
"Young people like games, so game live streaming became popular, so I simply started investing in games. I invested in two game projects, but I didn't expect that one of the games would become extremely popular as soon as it was launched..."
Zhou Dongsheng summarized his achievements in the past two years in a few words. Although Zhou Dongsheng said it lightly, it seemed like it was just a trivial task.
However, based on the research she had done, Bai Jingjing knew very well that any one of these things alone would be enough for anyone to brag about their achievements for a lifetime.
Whether it is his achievements in the stock market or the phenomenal online game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" which is still popular all over the world, these are heights of achievement that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve.
But for Zhou Dongsheng, it was as easy as taking something out of a bag, which made Bai Jingjing feel more and more that Zhou Dongsheng was the "Chinese Forrest Gump".
Just like eating and drinking, he achieved achievements that were unattainable for ordinary people. In the end, the "fool" in everyone's eyes reached a height in life that no one else could reach.
Who will be the fool then?
Luck is an excuse for the strong to be humble and an excuse for the weak to escape, Bai Jingjing couldn't help but think.
"Later, I tried to make some investments in various fields, all of which were things that young people liked. I believe that everyone will be familiar with them. They were shared bicycles, short videos, etc., and I made some small gains...
In this confusion, one day a few people from Fortune magazine came to my door, and I suddenly realized...
"Oh, so I'm already so rich..."
Even though she had convinced herself in her heart, Bai Jingjing still felt upset. Why was the words so inappropriate?
This nonchalant tone makes it seem like being a billionaire is just that simple, as if I can do it too...
Even so, it does not hinder the legendary nature and wonderfulness of this story. Bai Jingjing calmed herself down again.
"What a story of ups and downs and great waves. In just two years, Dongsheng, your life experience has been more exciting than many people's entire lives..."
"And now you are only 21 years old and have already achieved success. I can't believe what kind of future you will create..."
Bai Jingjing said with deep emotion that since becoming the host of the "People" interview, she has come into contact with many heroes and successful people.
But someone as special as Zhou Dongsheng is truly unique, and it is hard not to be impressed by him.
Bai Jingjing can already imagine how much controversy this interview will cause. It is very likely to become the most watched interview since the establishment of the "People" interview.
To this end, Bai Jingjing chose to strike while the iron was hot and continue to dig out the explosive points of Zhou Dongsheng. Although the current material already has enough topics to talk about, it obviously lacks some key content to put the final word on it.
"Speaking of which, I was also the pig that happened to stand at the forefront of the times. It was the east wind of the times that sent me to the sky. I am just a lucky person who followed the trend of the times." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
Bai Jingjing did not continue the conversation, but continued, "Now you have a lot of reputations, such as 'Internet celebrity mentor', and the Internet celebrities you discovered can all stand on their own..."
"Nowadays, the concept of internet celebrity economy has gradually been recognized by society. You yourself are one of the internet celebrities. I wonder what do internet celebrities represent in your opinion?"
As the topic deepened, Bai Jingjing's question somewhat stumped Zhou Dongsheng.
Bai Jingjing is not the only one who is curious about this question. In the first year of the rapid development of the internet celebrity economy, many people are also very curious about this question.
After all, before this, Internet celebrity was just a derogatory term, referring only to those clowns who sought to attract attention on the Internet and seemed to have no great value other than fame.
For example, the first generation of Internet celebrities, Sister Furong, Sister Feng, and Brother Sharp, have now only left legends in the world but have not reaped the benefits of the times.
It has a bit of the meaning of "the previous generation plants trees, and the next generation enjoys the shade".
"Internet celebrity is the abbreviation of Internet celebrities. In fact, there have been many Internet celebrities since the birth of the Internet. In my humble opinion, Internet celebrities are also a manifestation of young people's struggle for social discourse power..."
"In the early days of the Internet, people who could gain public attention on the Internet were often well-known figures in real life, such as celebrities and experts in various fields..."
"As the number of young people using the Internet grows, young people's preferences have naturally become a crucial factor influencing the balance of the Internet. Under the urgent need of young people to speak out, Internet celebrities have emerged..."
"Unlike the elites who previously held the right to speak in society, Internet celebrities were often just ordinary people among the masses before they gained attention."
"With the development of the Internet, these groups that were previously voiceless in society now have the opportunity to make their voices heard through the Internet."
"Having seized the opportunity of this era, they have become the pigs on the vent of the wind and completed their own counterattack. To some extent, they also represent the process of young people gradually entering society and gaining the right to speak in society..."
Bai Jingjing couldn't help but think deeply when she heard this. After Zhou Dongsheng's analysis, a vested interest in the internet celebrity economy, this perspective was refreshing to her.
At this point, Zhou Dongsheng seemed to be a little reluctant to express himself, but he still controlled his desire to express himself appropriately. After all, Zhou Dongsheng could be said to repeat similar repetitive words every day.
After all, this is his "extraordinary feature", but thinking about the first thing he was going to do after establishing Dongsheng Group, Zhou Dongsheng still plans to add one more point.
"Of course, in my opinion, the current era of internet celebrities has only just begun. The role of internet celebrities should be far more than just making a little money and helping individuals achieve class transition."
"Just as celebrities, as public figures, need to shoulder certain social responsibilities, internet celebrities in the Internet age also need to set a good example and set a good example for young people."
"After all, the success of internet celebrities is inseparable from the support of the public. That is why they should make good use of this influence to give back to the public and society..."
"This is also something that our Dongsheng Group is preparing to do recently. It is still in the preparation stage and will be announced to the public as soon as possible. You can wait and see."
Zhou Dongsheng also took this opportunity to give himself a little advertisement, and when the interview reached this point, it was nearing its end.
Although Zhou Dongsheng's story is very exciting, the time span is only two years. To create such a dazzling legend in such a short period of time is enough to make people dream out of reach.
Bai Jingjing feels that after talking about this point, the material for this episode is already full and a bit overflowing. After all, there is so much to be explored about the guest Zhou Dongsheng.
Faced with such a treasure trove of material, Bai Jingjing felt a little unsatisfied, but the interview had to end eventually, so Bai Jingjing asked a conventional question to elevate the ending.
"As a self-made grassroots tycoon born in the 1990s, you are now considered the richest person born in the 1990s in China, and even in the world. Your success has indeed inspired many young people, who regard you as an idol and a role model!
Do you have any success stories you want to share, or any life advice you want to give to young people? "
When Zhou Dongsheng heard this, he was inspired and spoke very seriously.
"What I want to say is that I am not a role model, nor an idol. Don't learn from me. So-called success is often unique and accidental, and my success is not worth promoting at all."
"In my opinion, I am just a speculator who flips a coin. I just got lucky and flipped the same side repeatedly. If I failed once, I would not be sitting here."
“My advice is to study hard and work hard. All your efforts will become the steps of your life, allowing you to stand at the door of your choice with greater ease.”
This unique ending surprised Bai Jingjing again. After looking at Zhou Dongsheng deeply, she said with a smile.
“Thank you Dongsheng for accepting our interview. I hope we will have the opportunity to continue our cooperation in the future. I hope you will have more wonderful stories to share then.”
"It's my honor." Zhou Dongsheng smiled brightly, and the interview came to an end.
The final length of this "People" interview was not short, nearly half an hour.
However, once it was released on the Internet, a storm of public opinion surrounding Zhou Dongsheng was instantly set off, adding fuel to the already heated public opinion.
Many viewers watched the entire video in one breath and still felt unsatisfied, eager to know more details behind Zhou Dongsheng's legendary deeds.
It’s so wonderful!
"Good fellow, we do want to learn, but we have to be able to learn it!"
"What kind of divine operation and luck is this? It seems like you got all the benefits?"
"Oh my goodness, I finally know where the money I lost from stocks went. It turns out it all went to you!"
The originally evenly matched opposing situation in the public opinion field gradually became one-sided after this interview. After watching it, many people had a deeper understanding of Zhou Dongsheng.
Before this, many people still had only a vague understanding of this young man, but after reading this detailed interview, their views are naturally different.
In just two years, he went from being a small town youth to becoming a billionaire. This is simply a legendary template, and the deeds that Zhou Dongsheng described with ease.
The vast majority of the audience were eyewitnesses, after all, it happened only two years ago, so the resonance and shock were also even stronger.
Especially during the stock market crash last year, many viewers were victims. When they heard Zhou Dongsheng's nonchalant tone, they couldn't help but feel a little uneasy and were eager to know more.
Especially what stocks did Zhou Dongsheng buy...
The general public, who have always been keen on creating gods, will naturally not hesitate to give a helping hand when such an excellent example is placed in front of them.
At the same time, as the "People" interview caused a huge stir, massive traffic poured into Zhou Dongsheng's personal Weibo from all directions, driving a surge in the number of fans.
Obviously, Zhou Dongsheng's popularity has increased again, and the number of fans on Weibo alone has increased by millions.
This interview not only received recognition from the general public, but also attracted the attention of some interested parties. In particular, Zhou Dongsheng revealed his insights on the internet celebrity industry, which resonated with some people.
As Zhou Dongsheng's ideas spread to every corner through the Internet, they will naturally attract some truly like-minded people.
In particular, Zhou Dongsheng was already a well-known investor known as a talent scout, and for a while he actually had the effect of "spending a fortune on a horse's bones."
The investment department of Dongsheng Group received a lot of self-recommended investment projects at once, hoping to get the approval of Zhou Dongsheng, the mentor.
Among them, there are several investment projects worth mentioning.
