Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 783 The Little Flying Stick is Coming~
After taking the opportunity to give Lu Sifang a warning, Zhou Dongsheng immediately closed the video software.
Combined with the information provided by Lu Sifang, Zhou Dongsheng had a general understanding of the current investment situation in the overseas market.
It has to be said that for Zhou Dongsheng, even if his knowledge is limited, with the advantage of foresight, other investors may see crises at every step.
But in Zhou Dongsheng's eyes, there is gold everywhere. Even if he can only take a scoop from the vast ocean, as long as he catches Bitcoin and Tesla, which are high-return and high-net-worth investment targets, it will be enough for Zhou Dongsheng to make a fortune.
And to a certain extent, it is precisely this kind of high-return and high-net-worth investment projects that have sufficient risk resistance. Even the "butterfly effect" brought about by the variable Zhou Dongsheng is often difficult to affect the general prospects of these projects.
After all, there are countless investors from all over the world, and there are countless smart ones among them. Even if they do not have Zhou Dongsheng's unique advantage, they can still make waves in the capital market and come and go freely.
Especially for the big players with strong capital, they also have enough trial and error costs to be able to sift through the many investment projects.
Gold always shines. For companies like Apple and Tesla to become leaders of a certain era, it is often not accidental but a historical necessity.
This inevitable result cannot be reversed by Zhou Dongsheng's words or the chain reaction caused by an investment decision.
After all, human power is limited, and these leaders who can lead the trend of the times, in addition to their own uniqueness, also have an invisible and intangible big hand behind them pushing them.
In addition to the helmsman who is shown to the public, the little-known guests sitting in the upper cabin also play a vital role in an extremely solid ship of interests.
Zhou Dongsheng just took the opportunity to buy a ticket and board the ship, taking advantage of the convenience of a ride on the ship, and would not influence the route of the ship.
Although they are on the same ship, the helmsman and the passengers are strangers who have never met each other.
Thanks to Zhou Dongsheng's foresight, he separated the overseas revenue of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and set up overseas branches, so that he had enough foreign exchange chips in his hands.
Otherwise, it would not be an easy task to make a fortune without telling others with such a huge amount of foreign exchange investment.
Although this game is not wholly owned by Zhou Dongsheng, as a major shareholder holding more than 50% of the shares, Zhou Dongsheng naturally has enough say in making decisions.
In addition, thanks to the global popularity of this game, the value of this game is still in a steadily rising range.
For all the shareholders, this investment has already brought them a return of tens of times. They are so grinning from ear to ear about this. How could they have any objection to Zhou Dongsheng, the biggest contributor?
You have to know that in just one year, the revenue of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in China alone has already exceeded the 2 billion mark. If the revenue from overseas markets is included...
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a phenomenal game that has swept the world, has raked in nearly 800 million US dollars in revenue. Its terrifying ability to make money has long become a clear benchmark in the industry.
The annual revenue alone is able to reach nearly 800 million US dollars, and the value of the shares held by a number of shareholders has risen sharply. Even with the lowest 10 times PE valuation, the market value of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has reached 8 billion US dollars!
However, considering the phenomenal performance of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds in introducing the trend of the times and its strong ability to attract money, a valuation of 10 times the PE is only a starting price.
If several major shareholders are really willing to cash out and leave at this time, there will definitely be many investors willing to take over at a premium.
Among them, Tencent Games, which has been eyeing this opportunity, has been eagerly looking forward to it, and it must be very happy to be the "savior".
Not to mention that "Battle Royale", which was originally a niche game theme, has now instantly become a popular category that major game companies are vying for, driven by "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
I don’t know how many game companies are sharpening their knives, preparing to create a battle royale game as an entry ticket to join the ranks of sharing this big pie.
On this point, game companies at home and abroad have almost reached a consensus. After all, no one can resist money, right?
However, as countless game companies flocked in to make the whole pie bigger and stronger, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, as the first to enter the market and grab market share, will naturally be able to reap the benefits.
Holding such a young and strong cash cow undoubtedly gave Zhou Dongsheng great confidence. The 100 million US dollars handed over to Lu Sifang was obviously only the first batch of funds.
Whether it is Bitcoin or Tesla, a US stock, Zhou Dongsheng has only one choice, that is: increase holdings!
Looking at the entire Bitcoin market, although it has reached the threshold of 10 billion US dollars, the total number of chips circulating in the entire market may be only a few hundred thousand.
In this so-called decentralized market, transactions are carried out endlessly 24 hours a day without any limits on price fluctuations. Prices fluctuate greatly, and once there are any breaking news events or changes in market demand, there may be earth-shaking ups and downs.
This is also the main reason why Zhou Dongsheng stays away from leverage. Once there is any disturbance in the market, his position will be liquidated instantly!
Freedom without any restrictions will inevitably lead to the exploitation of the weak by the strong. This statement is vividly reflected in the virtual currency market!
From this perspective, the much-criticized A-share market may also be a kind of protection for the "leeks".
In the relatively stable stock market, Zhou Dongsheng's variable may not have much impact, but in the Bitcoin market, it is completely the opposite.
As Zhou Dongsheng continued to absorb chips at low prices and put them into his pocket , the chips circulating in the market naturally became fewer and fewer, and the originally stable supply and demand relationship quietly reversed.
Especially some institutions and investors lurking in it, no matter how slow their reaction was, gradually realized this, and an invisible wave of stock-grabbing was brewing in secret.
However, the capital market is a place where people come and go, and people cash out and leave all the time, while others take over and enter the market. Under high-frequency transactions, this phenomenon is often difficult to detect.
However, the balance of opinion between the bulls and the bears has quietly tilted towards the bulls. Driven by this sentiment, Bitcoin broke through US$800 in one fell swoop and stood up again after three years.
However, this is just the beginning. In the context of global economic turmoil, the biggest troublemaker in the market has spoken.
The Federal Reserve raises interest rates!
The Federal Reserve announced that the U.S. economy has continued to expand moderately since the middle of the year... The Federal Reserve decided to raise the target range of the federal funds rate by 25 basis points and expects to raise interest rates three times in 2017!
As the saying goes, a new official starts with three big things. Trump took office with great fanfare, and his series of drastic measures will undoubtedly continue to escalate the trend of global economic turmoil.
As soon as this major negative news came out, the A-share warrior fell to the ground and took the lead in entering the risk-averse mode. At the same time, experts from all walks of life interpreted the Fed's move. What does this wave of interest rate hikes mean?
For example, they use the US dollar's monetary dominance to create cyclical fluctuations and then reap the world. The routine is also very simple and crude. The interest rate hike will prompt a large amount of US dollars to flow back from all over the world, fleeing with the profits harvested from the local area, thus causing the assets in the outflow area to plummet.
When the time is ripe, they will flood the market with money, driving US dollars to flow to all parts of the world for bargain hunting, and reap the benefits repeatedly, relying on their hegemonic position to fleece the development of countries around the world!
This is like being a referee and an athlete at the same time, you win either way.
As for how to crack this rogue routine, the A-share god of war seems to have given his own answer. Once the opponent shows any sign of cashing out and leaving the market, I will lie down immediately to show you, and if you have the ability, you can cut your losses.
This fighting style, which can be called the Seven Injury Fist, might be a last resort means of self-protection.
After all, when you are playing against the world's number one overlord, the options before you are often not "profit" or "loss", but "small loss", "big loss" or "bloody loss"...
Only by showing that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes and making the opponent afraid to act rashly, can we survive from the dead end...
However, the spread of market panic is not all bad. At least for Bitcoin, which has a special status, this panic is its best nourishment.
Just as the saying goes, "Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times", the special nature of gold has created its unique safe-haven properties and strong liquidity, which is applicable everywhere.
When the number of bitcoins is limited to "21 million", this digital currency has the attribute of a "non-renewable resource" like gold.
Especially with the help of the current digital age, the portability of digital currency and its ability to be traded anytime, anywhere, around the clock, have given it a hot selling point that can be hyped.
Therefore, driven by the risk aversion demand caused by the global economic turmoil, a number of market makers who had been lurking in the Bitcoin market for a long time responded and began to promote Bitcoin by taking advantage of the global risk aversion news.
The name "electronic gold" spread around the world in a short time, and Bitcoin also entered the eyes of countless investors with risk aversion needs.
Driven by panic, the high-risk nature of Bitcoin itself is subconsciously ignored by investors, especially looking at the volatile Bitcoin prices in the market, with a high return of more than 200% in the past year...
Money can tempt people, and once greed arises, who cares about risks?
For a time, market sentiment reached a consensus, and the joint efforts of multiple parties formed a force that pushed the market value of Bitcoin to rise wildly. In just one day, the increase in Bitcoin exceeded 20% at one point!
At the same time, the market value of Bitcoin broke through the US$900 range in one fell swoop, charging towards its historical high three years ago!
Despite the constant market fluctuations, the market value of Bitcoin remains very strong and is steadily improving, step by step crossing the historical high of US$955!
The three-year period has come. Do you think the curve of Bitcoin's upward trend looks like a crooked mouth? (Funny)
Having passed the historical high, it means that Bitcoin at this moment is constantly breaking its own upper limit and writing a new history.
The $1,000 threshold that was not broken three years ago now seems unlikely to be a stumbling block that will stop its progress.
It is only a matter of time before we can step over the $1,000 threshold as a stepping stone.
Even so, Lu Sifang still had his mouth crooked with a smile. For him, who entered the market at 619 US dollars and completed the position with one million US dollars, the floating profit on his account was nearly 50 points!
It was only less than 2 months, and he had already made a net profit of nearly 500,000 US dollars. Before he knew it, he had exceeded the threshold of a monthly salary of one million!
For the first time, Lu Sifang felt that making money was so simple, it was almost the same as picking up money...
This is what it means to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade! Lu Sifang said with deep emotion.
Even he could make so much money easily, let alone Zhou Dongsheng who invested heavily in the market?
Even though the cost of building positions continues to rise due to the large amount of funds and continuous increases in positions, for funds of hundreds of millions of US dollars, even a floating profit of 10 points is a profit of up to tens of millions of US dollars!
However, Zhou Dongsheng seemed to ignore this little profit. He continued to replenish funds in an orderly manner and allowed Lu Sifang to continue to increase his holdings. Even though the market value of one Bitcoin has now reached more than 900 US dollars, Zhou Dongsheng's policy has not been shaken at all.
This made Lu Sifang secretly astonished, but also excited. It was obvious that the boss was very optimistic about the future performance of Bitcoin!
After all, the mainstream view in the current market is that $1,000 may be the limit of Bitcoin...
But judging from the boss's actions, this may just be a new starting point!
If it's true, then wouldn't I be making a lot of money?
If Zhou Dongsheng hadn't warned him, Lu Sifang would have been tempted by greed and would have been tempted to use leverage...
However, between eating one meal or eating every meal, Lu Sifang wisely chose the latter.
After all, Lu Sifang's extensive work experience has made him very clear about one thing: even if he makes money beyond his cognition due to luck, he will often lose it elsewhere due to his own limitations.
Instead of doing this, it is better to choose a more reliable plan. Lu Sifang did not lie on this point.
He is a risk-averse investment enthusiast!
While Zhou Dongsheng's overseas gold-mining business was booming, the changes in the domestic market naturally never stopped for a moment.
Capital never sleeps and human nature never changes. Overseas markets have their own risk-averse needs, and the domestic market is no exception.
The popular projects that have emerged in the past year are undoubtedly very suitable for risk-averse projects. The influx of countless hot money in the market has also prompted the crazy expansion of these popular projects.
The internet celebrity economy has undoubtedly been a major protagonist in the past year. Starting from Papi Jiang’s sky-high advertising monetization, it has already formed a prairie fire trend.
At the same time, the completion of a transaction once again added fuel to the development of the internet celebrity economy.
That is, Legg Mason Capital acquired the IP of the constellation internet celebrity "Tongdao Uncle" at a sky-high price of 217.5 million!
The original author cashed in 178 million yuan in cash through this transaction, transforming himself from an internet celebrity into a billionaire!
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar on the Internet.
