Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 748 Palo Alto
"When Lee Sang Hyuk debuted, he became famous for killing An Bixin alone, and even drove him directly from the middle lane to the jungle. I didn't expect that this revenge axe would still come out from the jungle!"
"Such a clever cycle. It turns out that success and failure are all due to Xianghe. The big devil finally fell to the hands of the Avengers. It's really a perfect script!"
As a former professional player, Liu still cared about the court even after retiring. This may be the reason why he devoted himself to the youth training career which was not profitable at the beginning.
Liu's idea was very simple. He just wanted to make a contribution to the domestic e-sports industry. If he couldn't win the world championship, he would let the players he trained do it.
It is generally like this to be in a deep dream and have high aspirations.
Zhou Dongsheng, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard these words.
Although to some extent, this result seemed to have nothing to do with me, but such a foregone conclusion was unexpectedly rewritten...
If it's not related to Zhou Dongsheng, then there is only one possibility...
There are other variables!
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but glance at the contestants on the stage who were smiling and welcoming their own championship. Could it be that among them there was a big shot who was reborn with some kind of e-sports system?
If this is the case, then this mid laner suddenly exploded and killed Lee Sang-hyeok, who was in his prime, and personally ruined the latter's triple crown dynasty...
Everything seemed to have a logical explanation.
After all, I can be reborn, so why can’t I let others have a system or something?
Yes, that must be the case, so Zhou Dongsheng cannot take the blame.
If this is true, then the story of creating another e-sports dynasty is obviously even more natural, isn't it?
In this regard, Zhou Dongsheng could only say that we have to wait and see. After all, we don’t have a system, so we can’t come up with a proof of the repulsion of like.
Only time can tell, but Zhou Dongsheng did not waste such a good opportunity.
Zhou Dongsheng thought about it and cooked a bowl of sweet and delicious chicken soup on the spot. "Even the strongest double champion combination in history can lose. This is how e-sports is. Everything is possible..."
"The future belongs to the young after all. The era of the great devil is over. Now it's up to you who are in your prime. You can create whatever era you want..."
"Okay, this trip to America is almost over here. As a boss, I have done my best. The rest is up to you. I hope you won't let me down."
Zhou Dongsheng was fed sweet dates and given a big stick, but he had no way to play in the game. After all, this thing is similar to mathematics. If you can't do it, you can't do it. It's useless to force him.
Any sport related to competition is usually 99% sweat + 1% talent. Not only are both indispensable, the latter is even more important than the former.
The contestant who is crying with his face covered on the stage is perhaps the best proof.
Zhou Dongsheng and others did not stay any longer. No matter who won or lost the game, they would always be spectators sitting in the audience.
Only by stepping out of this venue can they go to their own stage and shine.
As the game came to an end, whether it was Principal Wang, Mr. Liu, or everyone in the club, they naturally prepared to go home as soon as possible.
However, for Zhou Dongsheng, this trip to America is obviously not over yet.
"Old Liu, take these kids back to China first. I'll leave the club's affairs to you. I won't be able to take care of them anymore." Zhou Dongsheng patted Liu on the shoulder.
"Chairman, don't worry. Leave it to me. I will train these brats into a team of champions and win the first championship for us in this region!" Liu patted his chest loudly.
Principal Wang at the side couldn't help but cough and said unhappily: "Good fellow, you don't even take me seriously now, right? Don't forget that you are an IG legend!"
Liu scratched his head and laughed like a pig, feeling a little embarrassed. However, he was now doing very well under Zhou Dongsheng, so he already knew what was important.
Everyone has a scale in their heart. If Principal Wang and Zhou Dongsheng are compared, the scale will obviously only lean towards the latter.
If Principal Wang was a benefactor who recognized his talent, then Zhou Dongsheng was already worthy of being a adoptive parent, especially since he had solved his "serious health problem" by accident.
This favor alone is enough for Liu to remember it in his heart.
Obviously, Principal Wang was well aware of this, so he stopped at the point and treated it as a joke between friends.
After all, as the former boss, I can't blame others for letting such a talented person under my command slip away, right?
"What? Do you mean you don't want to return to your country? Are you happy here and don't want to go back home?" Principal Wang heard the implication of Zhou Dongsheng's words.
Although Principal Wang enjoyed this trip, there were still many things piled up in the country that he needed to go back and deal with personally.
After all, he is the founder of the Panda platform and has the ambition to build his own pan-entertainment empire. It is naturally impossible for him to be a hands-off boss like Zhou Dongsheng.
Especially after Zhou Dongsheng established the Dongsheng Group, his business empire showed signs of catching up, which made Principal Wang somewhat uneasy.
After all, I once made a bold statement, claiming that "when making friends, I don't care whether the other person is rich or not, because they are not as rich as I am anyway."
Now that his position is already "precarious", if he doesn't work harder, he will not be able to hold his head up in front of Zhou Dongsheng.
People live by their face and trees live by their bark. Principal Wang is also a person who cares about face. Moreover, Principal Wang has the confidence that once his pan-entertainment empire is successfully established, its height will definitely far exceed the internet celebrity business section of Dongsheng Group.
Right now, the two sides are at most advancing side by side on different new tracks. Principal Wang is secretly competing with them in his heart.
However, Principal Wang knew very well in his heart that the fact that Zhou Dongsheng could keep pace with him was enough to prove that he had lost miserably...
Zhou Dongsheng smiled lightly, "I have been in America for such a long time, but I haven't had the chance to visit an elder. He has provided me with a lot of help, so as a junior, I should not be rude to him."
Upon hearing this, Principal Wang understood what he meant. Who this elder was was no longer a secret. Anyone who was a little bit well-informed would have heard about it.
At one point, some people even believed that Zhou Dongsheng, who had a clean background, was his white glove created in China. However, what happened later completely overturned this possibility.
"Okay, then you be careful. I'll keep the security of the security company for you. Don't be polite. We'll contact each other when you return to China!" Principal Wang was straightforward and said it without hesitation.
Although this elder is very capable, Principal Wang obviously would not take the initiative to visit a man who has the richest man in China as his father.
After all, although the Yida tree has crisscrossing branches, it has basically no intersection with Duan Yongping, a big tree that has deep roots in the capital market.
So for Principal Wang, he was not an elder, and as for using Zhou Dongsheng's influence to visit him...
Obviously, it is impossible for Principal Wang to do such a thing.
After all, if you suspect someone is taking a photo of you on the street, you will rush up and punch them [funny].
The next day, after saying goodbye to Principal Wang and Liu's group, only Zhou Dongsheng and others stayed and prepared to set off for San Francisco.
If we talk about a city on the other side of the ocean where Chinese people have deep roots, it would probably be San Francisco.
After Duan Yongping retired and chose to settle in a foreign country, his first choice was naturally somewhere near this place.
Therefore, if Zhou Dongsheng wanted to visit Mr. Duan, he naturally had to go to San Francisco first.
During this trip to America, Zhou Dongsheng has managed to travel across most of America. Many of the scenes he saw in Hollywood blockbusters correspond to real life.
This made Zhou Dongsheng sigh again that Hollywood really has unfathomable attainments in subtle cultural output.
The core of the Anglo-Saxon spirit was spread throughout the world, achieving the effect of almost defeating the enemy without fighting.
Even though it did not cost a single soldier, and even did not bring any benefit, it still cultivated a group of fanatical believers all over the world. This is a clear example.
This "remote farming technology" is undoubtedly the most powerful manifestation of cultural output.
And when we arrived in San Francisco and drove over the Golden Gate Bridge, the sense of déjà vu of the intersection of movie and reality became stronger.
After all, the Golden Gate Bridge should be regarded as a landmark building that appears very frequently in Hollywood blockbusters. It has even been destroyed by various disasters more than once, and its degree of misery is probably second only to the Statue of the Statue.
At the same time, time has unknowingly moved on to November. After visiting Mr. Duan, Zhou Dongsheng also planned to return to China as soon as possible.
After all, starting from November, there are still many big dramas about to begin in the country, some of which are related to oneself and some of which are not.
No matter what, Zhou Dongsheng doesn't want to miss it.
After all, in this foreign country, Zhou Dongsheng only has one overseas investment business, and currently it is only Bitcoin business.
As for the U.S. stock market, Zhou Dongsheng was powerless. After all, he was completely in the dark about it.
At most, we only know about Apple and the like. It can be said that America has Apple and China has Moutai. Even ordinary people know about this.
It can be said that from the perspective of value investing, such investments are mostly about the same. The losses will not be too great, and the returns will naturally not increase multiple times.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng vaguely remembered that this was the first company in the history of the stock market to break through the trillion-dollar market value, and it was also the most valuable listed company in the world...
This is a huge monster with a huge opening and the water inside is bottomless. Zhou Dongsheng feels that he may not be able to control it.
It is a good idea to consider it as a stable investment option, just like Moutai, leaving yourself a way out.
Since it is a retreat, it seems reasonable to prepare hundreds of millions of them overseas, just in case.
But compared to Apple, the virtual currency market is still more turbulent. The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish will be...
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and Zhou Dongsheng also wants to know the progress in time.
So he asked Lu Sifang who was also in the car: "By the way, Lao Lu, how is the Bitcoin market changing?"
When Lu Sifang learned that this trip was to visit Duan Yongping, he was quite excited. After all, as a fellow investor, who wouldn't know this famous "Oriental Buffett"?
You know, the price of a Buffett lunch has gone sky-high nowadays, and thanks to my boss, I can actually get a "Buffett lunch" for free...
I felt numb just thinking about winning, so I seemed a little absent-minded.
However, upon hearing Zhou Dongsheng's question, Lu Sifang still shuddered, and after coming to his senses, he quickly said: "Oh... Chairman, the Bitcoin matter has been carried out according to your instructions, and the fundraising work is proceeding in an orderly manner..."
“But even so, although our capital is not large compared to the entire market, it is not small in the daily trading volume. Especially as we continue to accumulate funds, it seems that there are funds secretly competing with us for shares…”
“Therefore, over this period of time, the price of Bitcoin has also been rising. It has already broken through 7 a few days ago, and now it has risen to nearly 730 US dollars per coin…”
"This has also caused our position building costs to be pushed up all the way. At this rate, our position building costs may also break 7..."
“So far, the number of bitcoins we have in hand has exceeded 50,000, and we have invested nearly one-third of our funds in building positions…”
Lu Sifang told the story in detail and gave Zhou Dongsheng a detailed report.
"It's okay. Continue with this progress. Don't panic no matter how the market fluctuates. I have secured the chips. And... 100 million US dollars is just the first batch of funds. I will make further arrangements later..."
"I plan to invest in this project for a long time, and I regard it as the main pillar of my overseas investment business and a top priority business in the future. Please pay more attention to it and keep a close eye on it..."
"Don't be careless. If the company's assets are lost due to problems such as keys, the consequences... I don't need me to explain more. You know it yourself."
Zhou Dongsheng spoke calmly, word by word. Although his tone was light, it gave Lu Sifang a chill.
He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart and nodded his head to agree. Unconsciously, Lu Sifang felt that his boss was becoming more and more different.
Although still young, the bearing and aura he exudes are increasingly giving off a sense of oppression that comes from being in a superior position.
Especially as Zhou Dongsheng's position rose rapidly, the psychological pressure brought about by the widening status gap became increasingly greater.
Even though Zhou Dongsheng was still the same Zhou Dongsheng, in the eyes of others, the title of "billionaire" alone was enough to overwhelm people...
What's more, it's impossible for Zhou Dongsheng to always be that Zhou Dongsheng!
Soon, the group arrived at a city called "Palo Alto" on the west coast of the United States, which was located just across from San Francisco.
At first glance, the name of this coastal city sounds very unfamiliar, but this place is one of the cities with the highest housing prices in the United States. Countless wealthy people have settled here just because they can enjoy the best resources in the United States.
Because, although the name of Palo Alto is not well-known, its other name has long been famous all over the world.
That is Silicon Valley!
