Volume 4 Crazy Growth 2017 Chapter 884
"According to Xunmeng Technology's disclosure, the company has completed its D round of financing, which was led by Dongsheng Overseas Fund and followed by early investors such as Tengda Investment. The scale of the D round of financing reached 1.4 billion US dollars, accounting for 11% of the shares, and the total valuation has exceeded 14 billion US dollars..."
"After successfully completing the D round of financing, Xunmeng Technology announced that it is confident that it will complete its plan to go public in the United States in the short term, and has already begun preparations..."
The successive release of two blockbusters has undoubtedly caused quite a stir in the domestic market. Unknowingly, the market value of these two companies standing at the forefront of the mobile Internet has soared to such a height.
Behind these two potential stocks with such outstanding potential, there is a common early investor - Zhou Dongsheng!
From the initial entry of Dongsheng Investment, to the joint appearance of two major Internet companies, to the emergence of Dongsheng Overseas Investment Fund...
It seems that all the criticism is directed at this young and famous capital upstart. Although he is young, he has the ability to stir up waves in the capital market and can be called a trendsetters on the crest of the capital wave.
Whether it was his ranking in the top 20 of the Hurun Rich List at the age of 21, becoming the youngest person on the list in history, or his current lavish spending, pushing the market value of two companies to tens of billions of US dollars in one fell swoop...
Such a jaw-dropping record is enough to make many people in the industry drop their jaws, and some even want to imitate Cao Aman and say "If I had a son, I would want him to be like Zhou Dongsheng".
This is far beyond the scope of other people's children.
With the spread of these two major financing news, not only did it add another strong stroke to Zhou Dongsheng's record book, but it also took his fame in the public opinion field to a higher level.
"Damn it, we are both 21 years old, and I have to think about whether it is worthwhile , but they spend 1 billion US dollars right away?"
“It turns out that the gap between people is sometimes even bigger than the gap between people and dogs!”
"It turns out that 'Zhou Dongsheng's Boring Life' is actually a documentary. Zhou Dongsheng's life is indeed just as he said, plain and boring!"
Many onlookers could not help but marvel at it and regard it as a topic of conversation. At the same time, they also played the role of a promoter, adding fuel to the fire and spreading the stories about Zhou Dongsheng throughout the entire Internet.
After all, human beings are essentially repeaters. Some things are timeless and become more interesting the more you talk about them, especially some classic old jokes, which you never get tired of.
What's more, Zhou Dongsheng himself has taken the initiative to create many famous memes. The meme "Zhou Dongsheng's Boring Life" alone is enough to make the onlookers talk about it for a long time.
In comparison, Master Ma's "Kung Fu Yoga" is slightly inferior. Apart from showing off his money-making ability to the fullest, there are really no other highlights to speak of.
In addition, the focus of the investment field and many interested people is naturally different from that of the general public. Compared with the melon-eating crowd who only care about whether the melon is delicious...
Obviously, what those who are interested are paying attention to is the origin of the melons, and whether there is any profit in it.
Although Zhou Dongsheng has demonstrated countless jaw-dropping magical operations , he has gradually accumulated the Dongsheng Group, a business with a market value of over 10 billion US dollars.
However, the wealth and arrogance displayed this time still exceeded the expectations of most people.
Even giants like Tencent and Alibaba often do not take it lightly when it comes to investments of over US$1 billion.
Although the assets they hold are not on the same level as Zhou Dongsheng's, they are also wealthy and powerful, so their spending is naturally not on the same level as Zhou Dongsheng's.
With the obvious sign of "Dongsheng Overseas Fund", naturally some people followed the clues to find out the situation.
Although as a private equity fund, it cannot raise funds publicly, and the threshold for private equity funds is not like that of ordinary public funds that anyone can buy, the threshold alone is enough to keep most retail investors out.
However, it is just that it is not sold publicly, but it is still operated by relevant companies as the main body and is subject to relevant legal supervision and jurisdiction, so there are naturally traces to follow.
In other words, Zhou Dongsheng never thought of hiding it from the beginning to the end. It was just that before this, when there was no movement, it naturally did not attract any attention from the outside world.
Now, with this overseas fund having completed two rounds of financing, it has quickly and without blinking an eye taken out more than 2 billion US dollars in funds, no matter how unknown it was before...
Such a large-scale operation alone is enough to cause quite a stir in the entire industry, and not just limited to the domestic market. As an offshore fund, it has naturally also attracted the attention of many overseas institutions.
As the law of conservation of energy states, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another!
Or transferred from one object to another, during the transformation or transfer process, the total amount of energy remains unchanged!
By the same token, wealth in the market also follows this law to a certain extent, which is the so-called law of conservation of wealth.
Wealth does not appear out of thin air, nor does it disappear out of thin air. Instead, it is transferred from one group of people to another. When someone loses, someone else makes money; when someone laughs, someone else cries...
Therefore, when Dongsheng Overseas Fund has been silent for a long time and suddenly becomes a blockbuster, it must be that something is wrong!
The structure of the entire Dongsheng Overseas Fund is simple and clear, and it is easy to find out that there is only one investor behind it , Duan Yongping!
Industry insiders at home and abroad are naturally no strangers to this famous top investor known as the "Buffett of the East".
Whether it was the creation of the BBK empire in China, or his retirement overseas, having dinner with Buffett, and successfully bottom-fishing pig factory stocks, his name has long been known to many people.
And because he keeps a low profile and rarely shows off his wealth, as a well-known top investor, his net worth has always remained a mystery. However, judging from his revealed investment philosophy and his heavy holdings in a series of stocks such as Tengda and Apple...
His wealth must be high, and he has many disciples, including the current head of BBK and the heads of two mobile phone giants...
This is even more commendable. After all, no matter how complicated an investment project is, it is ultimately not as complicated as human nature.
If you are good at judging people, your investment will naturally not be too bad. After all, investment is ultimately all about judging people.
Today, when I saw Duan Yongping's name appear on the list of Dongsheng Overseas Fund, everything seemed to be explained instantly...
After all, with such a big boss backing him up, many of Zhou Dongsheng's bizarre behaviors seemed to have found a reasonable explanation all of a sudden.
If Zhou Dongsheng's last name was not Duan, the rumor of him being an "illegitimate child" would probably have started to revive, just like when he first appeared at the Wuzhen dinner party with the help of Ding Sanshi, this rumor came up...
As for the surname issue, although it is rare to take the mother's surname, it is naturally reasonable to make up for it from the perspective of debt. It has to be said that the imagination of the general public in this regard has always been very wild (funny).
Of course, the mystery of Zhou Dongsheng's life experience has not been hidden. Later, as people with a keen eye dug it out, his path from a small-town youth to his current height became very clear and has long become an indisputable fact.
With Duan Yongping's relationship, Zhou Dongsheng and Ding Sanshi's friendship seems to have a reasonable explanation. In addition, Huang Zheng attended the Buffett dinner with Duan Yongping, which naturally could not be hidden from those who were interested...
In this way, it seems that all the clues are connected at once. Could it be that Zhou Dongsheng is Duan Yongping's white glove?
Although the "illegitimate child" theory is no longer valid, the "white gloves" theory seems to have become more plausible...
However, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and the circle is so small that similar statements can easily spread. Some people even go straight to Duan Yongping to inquire.
After all, with Mr. Duan's long-established status in the underworld, his network of contacts in the underworld is naturally very extensive. Even if he has retired overseas, it does not mean that he has completely retired to the mountains and retired from the underworld.
It's just like envying the fish by the river. It's better to retreat and weave a net. His presence in the stock market is still very active, but he rarely appears in the public eye.
When a similar voice reached Elder Duan's ears, Elder Duan couldn't help but feel moved. Zhou Dongsheng gave him such a generous gift. If he, as an elder, didn't return the gift...
Isn't it that I am ignorant?
Well, Zhou Dongsheng has no shortage of wealth, so I might as well create momentum for Zhou Dongsheng.
For this reason, Mr. Duan flatly denied the statement, and at the same time did not hide his praise, and bluntly revealed Zhou Dongsheng's achievements.
"How can an old man like me have such means to let such a genius with natural talent help me? I have to say that Zhou Dongsheng is the most talented young man in finance that I have ever seen..."
"After all, in just one year, he has grown a fund of more than a billion US dollars to tens of billions of US dollars. Even a genius like Buffett has never done this at his age..."
"You always say that I am the 'Buffett of the East'. In my opinion, I think this title should be given to someone else. I think the young man Zhou Dongsheng is more suitable..."
"However, young people have their own ideas. Maybe he just wants to be a unique Zhou Dongsheng, rather than the so-called 'Eastern Buffett'?"
It has to be said that once Duan Yongping's words were spread, they were enough to cause a small earthquake in the investment field around the world, leaving many people in the industry dumbfounded.
In one year, we can grow the scale from tens of billions of US dollars to hundreds of billions of US dollars?
Rounding up, it is nearly 10 times the return. If the amount of capital is smaller, such as hundreds of thousands of US dollars or even millions of US dollars, there are still many people in the world who can achieve ten times the return.
But as we all know, the larger the amount of capital, the more difficult it is to make high returns, not to mention a return of nearly 10 times, which is a rare achievement.
Even Warren Buffett, the stock god who is talked about a lot, was famous for his wealth growth rate of 20% per year when he became famous, and he was famous for outperforming the Dow Jones Index by 10 percentage points...
In addition, Buffett's investment philosophy has always been based on value investing. He is one of the most acclaimed leaders of the value investing school, and it is also a major reason why countless people regard him as the god of stocks.
In other words, many of Buffett's famous classic cases are all based on long-term investment, playing the long game to catch big fish, whether it is Coca-Cola, IBM, American Express, etc.
Supported by this philosophy, he has accumulated today's astonishing wealth through decades of investment career.
Despite this, the old stock god himself was not as amazing as Zhou Dongsheng, who created such astonishing results with just one year of short-term operations.
Even with the endorsement of Duan Yongping, a well-known top investor, most people have to doubt the authenticity of this news. After all, it is too unbelievable...
But there is no doubt that as long as this matter is true, Zhou Dongsheng will definitely become famous overnight on a global scale, and will become a rising star in the investment field!
In addition, more people are eager to know which industry the investment in can support the high growth of such a large scale of funds?
After all, being able to hold a market value of more than one billion US dollars and expanding nearly tenfold in one year, even if we look at the global stock market, only a few leading stocks can do this.
But obviously, in the past period of time, there has not been any leading stock in the market that has caused such a big stir. Since it is not the secondary market, could it be the primary market?
However, even with the simplest exhaustive method, it is not difficult to find the answer. In the past year, there is only one field that has grown the fastest and is widely known in the overseas market...
That's Bitcoin!
From less than 1,000 US dollars at the beginning of the year to more than 20,000 US dollars at one point in the year, it increased nearly 20 times in one year. At the same time, the market trading volume also soared from tens of millions of US dollars to more than 20 billion US dollars!
Judging from the data, it can be said that it perfectly matches what Duan Yongping said, and only this odds can create such considerable profits.
Especially considering the establishment time of Dongsheng Overseas Fund and other factors, a little calculation will reveal that even if the conclusion is not the truth, it is almost certain.
It was passed on that Zhou Dongsheng made a lot of money in the cryptocurrency circle and left with a profit of over 10 billion US dollars!
In a short time, the news spread like wildfire and spread rapidly, even affecting the Bitcoin market.
As a market that is highly affected by news, and with a series of institutions taking profits and leaving the market...
Although the market still maintains a high level, it is actually weak inside.
Individual retail investors fighting on their own, coupled with the anonymous nature of transactions, are enough to spread panic quickly...
Coupled with the guidance of some people, Bitcoin fell sharply and its market value plummeted!
After all, if the price doesn’t fall, how can institutions take back the market?
