Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 824 A Prohibition
"Thank you Dongsheng for bringing us wealth. This cup is a toast to you!"
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The arrival of night slightly dispelled the high temperature brought by the scorching summer. The little remaining warmth was completely wiped out by the cool river breeze.
Because at this moment, everyone was on the deck of a yacht sailing on the Pearl River, looking at the brilliant night scenery on both sides of the river, and they couldn't help but feel calm and comfortable in their hearts.
Huang Haoze, who is always good at creating an atmosphere, laughed and joined in the fun. Chen Yuhang, who was not good at speaking, was no less impressive. He raised the glass in his hand with a smile, gestured to Zhou Dongsheng, and drank it all.
Zhou Dongsheng was not vague. He gestured with the iced cola in his hand. A mouthful of the cold carbonated drink flowed down his throat, causing a slight tingling sensation, which made people exclaim in admiration involuntarily.
What a strong cola!
"Dongsheng really hasn't forgotten your original intention. Fortunately, I prepared some Coke for you, otherwise you wouldn't even have anything to drink!" Huang Haoze said with a smile, his attitude was particularly friendly, and the look he gave Zhou Dongsheng was no less than looking at the God of Wealth.
Ever since Zhou Dongsheng returned to Guangzhou, the two hosts have naturally entertained Zhou Dongsheng in many different ways, no matter what food, drink or daily necessities, even if Zhou Dongsheng wanted to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, they could give it to Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, they themselves had never dreamed that the gaming company in which they had a stake, and which had benefited from Zhou Dongsheng's influence, would now have a market value of over 30 billion!
And as long as they are willing to sell, even if the shares are sold at a premium of more than 50%, I believe there will be many people willing to take them over. After all, such a game that sells well all over the world is no different from a gold mine.
To some extent, it is even more popular than gold mines, and the speed of making money is comparable to that of a money printing machine.
Of course, financial returns are one thing. It is well known that there is a gap between the second generation. A unique person like Principal Wang is second to none in the country.
After all, wealthy families often care most about having many children and grandchildren, but the richest man in China only has this one son, at least on the surface...
It is precisely this unique advantage that has made Principal Wang a second-generation leader who is unique in the country. If he had a "competitor", Principal Wang would probably not act so eccentrically.
Chen Yuhang had discussed this issue with Zhou Dongsheng before. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths and were extremely enviable.
However, in order to maintain their status and voice, they also need to make corresponding contributions and achievements to ensure that their extravagant and decadent life will not be affected.
After all, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If they are used to this kind of life and if they accidentally encounter a situation where their family falls into poverty, it is no exaggeration to say that it is indeed more painful than killing them.
To this end, they all know in their hearts that they should enjoy when they should enjoy and work hard when they should work hard.
However, things are different now. Thanks to the investment in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, their status in the family is now secure. Not only have they received rave reviews from their parents, but they have also been forced to have a good relationship with Zhou Dongsheng.
Even if you can't make friends with such potential stocks, you can't make enemies with them.
Faced with the attitude of his family, Huang Haoze couldn't help but think with a little embarrassment of the scene when he first met Zhou Dongsheng.
At that time, they were so naive that they even tried to "test" Zhou Dongsheng. Fortunately, they did not take him too seriously and act like a second-generation idiot...
Otherwise, with Zhou Dongsheng's later achievements, wouldn't he have become a villain in a film or TV series?
Then how could he have the glorious life he has now? Huang Haoze couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought of this, but fortunately it's okay.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't know about Huang Haoze's rich inner thoughts. If he knew, he would probably just laugh it off. To this day, the gap in their identities and status has been quietly eliminated.
At that time in the bar, for Zhou Dongsheng, whether it was Principal Wang or these two, they were all unattainable figures. It was only because he had the confidence in his heart that he was able to remain neither humble nor arrogant.
As for now, it is naturally incomparable.
The subtle contrast brought about by this change in identity made Zhou Dongsheng inexplicably happy. Perhaps it was the same as the so-called "returning home in glory."
People always like to test their gains by comparing them with the past. This is undoubtedly a very simple, clear, yet efficient way.
And the satisfaction gained in this way may be the so-called sense of accomplishment.
"Brother Huang really understands me. The arrangement of this night cruise on the Pearl River is really thoughtful..." Zhou Dongsheng said comfortably as he felt the cool breeze from the river.
"Hey, that's just the beginning. Today we are just getting together and chatting. I didn't make any other arrangements on my own initiative. Let's go along the Pearl River estuary and play on the sea for a few days. That would be very pleasant..."
Huang Haoze said with great joy that when it comes to making money, they are definitely not as good as Zhou Dongsheng, but when it comes to enjoying life, they are definitely experts among experts.
A phrase in the industry, "going up the mountain", suddenly popped up in Zhou Dongsheng's mind. Isn't this exactly what this situation is referring to?
However, Zhou Dongsheng was no stranger to storms, so he joked without any fear: "For something like this, we need to ask Principal Wang to join us. His Yida ship is big enough, and your thing is a bit small..."
As he spoke, he looked around and smacked his lips in disdain without disguising his disdain. After all, there was not only a gap between the two generations, but also a gap between the yachts.
Huang Haoze immediately said unhappily: "How can my thing compare with Yida? That thing not only needs to be customized, but also needs a small goal to start with. Unless I sell this share, I can't afford it..."
"But Dongsheng, you can get one. With your ability, even customizing a cruise ship for round-the-world travel would be more than enough..." Huang Haoze couldn't help but instigated.
"Well, you can consider this. When the day comes when I decide to retire, I'll get a boat and we can go traveling together..." Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but say happily.
“Then you’d better plan ahead. It will take three to five years to customize this thing, and you may not even get a chance to get one. It has to be said that there are still a lot of rich people in this world!” Huang Haoze said with a chuckle.
As the two of them were joking around, Chen Yuhang suddenly said, "Speaking of Principal Wang, has there been any movement from Yida recently? I heard that the old man sold a batch of assets in a hurry to cash them out, apparently to repay debts..."
As Chen Yuhang spoke, he looked at Zhou Dongsheng with a questioning look. In his opinion, Zhou Dongsheng might know the inside story of this news better than the version they had heard from hearsay.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. Oh? Has it already started? He didn't know whether Lao Wang listened to his reminder or someone else gave him some advice.
After all, Yida’s high debt problem has been around for a long time. The reason why it chose to break out at this sensitive point, in addition to the fact that Lao Wang is in the limelight, is probably also related to the fact that the higher-ups want to tighten overseas investment.
Therefore, Yida, which is making rapid progress overseas, is naturally one of the first targets.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng knew very well that with the coming to power of the great leader on the other side of the ocean, the Americans had completely revealed their cards. They were no longer pretending, not even caring about their dignity. After all, even the rules were set by others, so naturally they had to look at other people's faces.
Looking at the present from the perspective of the future, Zhou Dongsheng is naturally very clear about the importance of risk avoidance. He even has to sigh that meat eaters are not only not despicable, but also have a bit of foresight.
The more he understood it, the more Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but say "That's a great idea, Mr. President" (funny), in a complimentary sense of course.
Especially after following the example of Big Brother, Maozi once again set an example and used his own personal experience to vividly interpret what democratic freedom is.
If things really come to that, who can be sure that what happened to the oligarchs will not be repeated on people like Lao Wang?
At least from Zhou Dongsheng's perspective, he can only think of this level of game, and he also knows the answer to this question.
Of course, the same principle applies to Zhou Dongsheng as well. With the Bitcoin price, isn’t he trying to get the skin of a tiger?
Whether he can reap the benefits of the cryptocurrency circle depends on whether he can eventually make a profit and leave the market. However, Zhou Dongsheng already has a vague plan in his mind for this foreign exchange.
Even if I can't get it back, it doesn't matter. At most, I can use this foreign exchange to search for medical supplies in the overseas market...
Zhou Dongsheng's thoughts raced, but on the surface his expression remained unchanged. He said casually, "Maybe there's just a problem with the capital turnover. I'm not sure about this ..."
Huang Haoze on the side said carelessly: "That's right, isn't that how business is done? You take money from Peter to pay Paul. No matter what, can you defeat the richest man in China?"
"On the recently released New Fortune 500 Rich List, the two Wangs are still firmly in the top position. Even Dongsheng, you are leading the way!"
While speaking, he did not forget to make fun of Zhou Dongsheng.
It has to be said that the general public's interest in wealth lists is indeed unprecedented, which has given rise to a variety of wealth lists.
Throughout the year, the baton of wealth statistics has been passed from one company to another, and no one has ever repeated themselves. However... if nothing unexpected happens, this list should be the last one for Lao Wang to hold the title of the richest man.
However, Zhou Dongsheng didn't know much about this list. He was actually included in it. He couldn't help but inquire with interest: "Is there such a thing?"
"Oh, you, the person involved, don't even know? On this wealth list, you are the youngest billionaire at the age of 22 with a net worth of 10 billion, and you are even ahead of the 24-year-old Milk Tea Sister and the 29-year-old Principal Wang..."
"It also broke the record for the youngest person to be on the list since its inception..."
Huang Haoze boasted to the person involved like he knew all the details, and Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.
"It's all just a false reputation. Besides, this statistic didn't even mention me. It only counted my visible assets. If I took other things into account, I think I would have a chance to break a few more records..."
Zhou Dongsheng pretended to be simple and unpretentious, and at the same time, he had a deeper understanding of the water content of the so-called wealth list.
"Then you should work hard and strive to win the title of the youngest richest man in China, so that we can also share the glory. Then I can brag about it when I go out. You know Zhou Dongsheng, right? He's my buddy..."
Huang Haoze was quite supportive and spoke like a supporting actor.
"Well, talking about these, we are all brothers!" Zhou Dongsheng laughed, and his jokes drifted and dissipated on the river. As the night deepened, the wind on the river became more and more noisy.
…
The next day, although Lao Wang acted quickly, the capital market's sense of smell was still extraordinarily sharp. After all, the essence of business is information asymmetry. Whenever there is any sign of trouble, there will always be someone who can be one step ahead.
I don't know where this evil wind came from in the market, but it directed its spearhead at Yida. A wave of short-selling that may have been long-planned is quietly underway.
A piece of information that came out from nowhere, about a bank asking to sell off Yida bonds, suddenly triggered panic in the market, and then many Yida bonds began to plummet.
Compared with the ups and downs of the stock market, the bond market is relatively stable and is the first choice for conservative investors. Therefore, when the bond market begins to fluctuate, there is obviously a reason.
As expected, the volatility of Yida bonds was just the beginning. With the issuance of a risk investigation letter by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, pushing Yida directly into the abyss.
The brunt of the criticism was directed at Yida's six overseas investment projects. Although it was just a risk check, in the ever-changing market, it was enough to lead to multiple interpretations.
Afterwards, stocks related to Yida began to fall continuously, among which Yida Film even hit the limit down and was suspended. Although Yida issued a statement to refute the rumors, it did not stabilize the market sentiment at all.
At the same time, relevant departments have pointed their fingers directly at real estate, hotels, cinemas and other projects, and pointed out that the statement of "irrational foreign investment tendency" has been interpreted by many parties.
Perhaps a relatively reliable interpretation is "asset transfer behavior." For a moment, the atmosphere of impending storm spread, making people somewhat overwhelmed.
Zhou Dongsheng originally thought that he could watch the fire from the other side of the river and stay out of it, but he didn't expect that the fire would burn him so quickly.
Something that was destined to happen suddenly happened a long time earlier than expected, and in a way that caught no one off guard.
Without any warning, “Seven Swordsmen from Tianshan” came down from the sky like a bolt from the blue, dealing a heavy blow to the hot Bitcoin market.
Seven relevant ministries and commissions jointly issued an announcement that recently, a large number of domestic activities of raising funds through the issuance of tokens have emerged, speculation is prevalent, and they are suspected of engaging in illegal financial activities, which has seriously disrupted the economic and financial order...
China will ban virtual currency transactions within the country!
For a moment, the whole market was in an uproar and everyone was in a panic!
