Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 887
At the beginning of New Year's Day in 2018, the first ray of sunshine symbolizing the new year shone on the earth, but it could not stop the winter chill at all. With a cold air mass moving south, the Magic City has officially entered winter.
Even though the daytime temperature rose slightly, the outside temperature was still less than 10 degrees, coupled with the biting cold wind, it was obvious that the start of 2018 was not warm.
Although today is Monday, fortunately there is the New Year's Day holiday, which is a great blessing for many workers who participate in the New Year's Eve carnival.
After all, in such weather, being able to sleep soundly in a warm bed is undoubtedly a precious little happiness in life.
Zhou Dongsheng was no exception. He slept from 2017 to 2018, had a good sleep, and greeted the new year with full energy.
Looking out the window at the sparkling Huangpu River under the sunshine and taking a sip of delicious morning tea, I feel relaxed and happy.
As the clock moved forward an inch and pointed to 2018, Zhou Dongsheng subconsciously recalled a sentence that he had remembered deeply:
Do you miss the summer of 2018, or the people of 2018...
Especially after experiencing all that has happened, looking back at this year, 2018 seems even more precious, so much so that a saying has gradually emerged that 2018 is recognized as the year with the highest sense of happiness.
After all, if this year is taken as the dividing line, 18 years later, it seems that the development of the entire world has changed direction, sliding in an indescribable direction, and unfolding in an unexpected way...
For people in the past, 2018 is worth remembering because of the good times that can never be returned, but for Zhou Dongsheng at this moment...
2018 is undoubtedly a symbol of a better year, because all good things have just begun!
In particular, with the arrival of 2018, it undoubtedly indicates that... the quadrennial World Cup is about to kick off again, and that summer carnival feast belonging to the whole world is about to sweep in!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile knowingly. It wasn't because of football or anything else, but simply because he thought of the complicated feelings he had when facing the World Cup four years ago...
There is no doubt that the World Cup four years ago was the key turning point in his life. To this day, Zhou Dongsheng still remembers the epic battle between the German tank and the Kingdom of Brazil.
As for his impression of the 2018 World Cup, Zhou Dongsheng's memory has long been completely blurred. After all, four years have passed. To some extent...
I can even be considered a middle-aged man in his 40s, right?
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel satisfied just by feeling the endless energy gushing out of this body in its early twenties and everything he had now.
Obviously, no matter the success or failure of the 2018 World Cup, or my limited understanding of 2018, it doesn’t matter anymore. I already have enough confidence to write a new chapter for myself.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel confident and stopped slacking off. After all, there were still many things he wanted to do and time was running out, so he had to act quickly.
After all, there is really not much time left for myself this time!
…
After the New Year's Eve carnival, the world continues to run as usual. After the Golden Second Award ceremony comes to an end, its subsequent impact will naturally continue to ferment on the Internet until it is replaced by a new hot event.
After all, new things are happening all the time in this world, and with today's highly developed Internet , anything new can spread to every corner of the world in an instant.
Although the calendar has been changed and started from the first page, it does not mean that everything in 2017 has been turned over. The far-reaching impact of some things is still continuing...
In comparison, the Golden Second Award, which is more popular among the general public, is just a trivial matter. The top priority...
Perhaps it was the fact that Dongsheng Overseas Fund had raked in tens of billions of US dollars in profits, although it did not cause much stir among the general public.
After all, the concept of tens of billions of US dollars is a bit too far away from the public's perception. At most, people would just say, "Oh", you made tens of billions of US dollars, right?
If I made that much, I would definitely donate it all. I don't even care about the mere 10 billion US dollars, and forget about donating 100 yuan. After all, I really have...
Once something is too far beyond the public's cognition, the general public will not even be surprised, after all, it is too illusory.
It's not even as real as winning the first prize in the lottery... Well, the latter sounds more illusory (funny).
Ahem, this incident undoubtedly set off a huge wave in both overseas and domestic investment industries, directly pushing Zhou Dongsheng to the forefront of the world.
Even before this, the three words "Zhou Dongsheng" were an extremely unfamiliar name to most of them, but it did not prevent them from establishing a preliminary understanding of it from this moment on.
After all, no matter which name it is, being associated with such a feat of raking in tens of billions of US dollars in one year will undoubtedly attract the attention of many institutions. No one in the world would choose to go against money, right?
What's more, capital never sleeps. Not to mention the New Year's Eve or the so-called New Year's Day holiday, even if it is the Christmas holiday overseas or the Chinese New Year, it is impossible to stop capital's desire for profit!
Especially when the rumor broke out that Zhou Dongsheng had reaped tens of billions of US dollars from the cryptocurrency circle and left unscathed, Bitcoin, which had already been losing momentum after breaking through 20,000 US dollars, triggered a round of panic selling.
It almost buried alive some institutions that had not yet managed to extricate themselves, and they had no choice but to pay out of their own pockets with curses and forcibly restore the market sentiment.
However, the short sellers who followed the scent would not give up such a great opportunity. A large-scale battle broke out between the two sides again. In the dark market, the two sides fought so fiercely that it was impossible to tell the enemy from ourselves...
However, Zhou Dongsheng, as the instigator, has undoubtedly been remembered by many people!
You are noble, you are great, you made tens of billions of dollars and walked away, leaving us with such a huge mess...
However, even though they were extremely angry, they could do nothing about it. After all, Zhou Dongsheng's textbook-level operation was perfectly timed.
In particular, although the scale of tens of billions of US dollars is astonishing, it is very delicately stuck at the ambiguous intersection.
Although this piece of cake is tempting enough, taking unconventional measures such as "pulling the network cable" just for the sake of this cake seems to be a bit of a loss.
Especially at this point in time, the commander-in-chief had just taken office and gained a firm foothold. He was not yet ready to turn his spearhead towards the other side of the ocean, so there was naturally no reason to launch a sudden attack.
If it comes at a sensitive time in the second half of the year, it’s hard to say. Who knows, they might really target Zhou Dongsheng for being the first to stand out…
There is no doubt that Zhou Dongsheng really became famous through this opportunity, and made a lot of headlines all over the world. He can be said to have truly made a name for himself.
Of course, gaining both fame and fortune also means that Zhou Dongsheng will attract more attention from interested people. If such a big piece of fat meat continues to linger in the market, it is likely to attract the attention of some jackals, tigers and leopards.
However, as the saying goes, misfortune often leads to blessing, and blessing often leads to misfortune. Good and bad fortune are not only relative, they can also transform into each other.
Especially with Zhou Dongsheng's rise to fame, this threshold has almost been trampled down by various institutions that have come to the door, whether it is domestic Dongsheng Investment or Dongsheng Overseas Fund.
With the vivid example of Duan Yongping, many institutions have been scrambling to become the investor. After all, no one wants to miss the opportunity to make money without doing anything.
Even if you don't get to eat as much meat as the first person who ate the crab, it's great to be able to drink some soup.
For Zhou Dongsheng, things always have their priorities. He will have time to deal with this matter only after he has finished taking care of the Golden Second Award, the New Year's Eve awards ceremony.
Among them, the overseas fund side was naturally temporarily handed over to Lu Sifang to deal with, and if necessary, Mr. Duan could also come forward to negotiate.
After all, whether it is the friction between China and the United States or the subsequent escalating trade war, these are major issues that Zhou Dongsheng has to seriously consider.
If this kind of thing happens in the capital market, it is very likely to trigger a "black swan" event, which will in turn cause a series of chain reactions.
For this reason, even Zhou Dongsheng has to seriously consider the risks in this regard.
If you are not careful, you may be in glory one second, but very likely to be ruined the next. This is often the case in the capital market, one thought can lead to heaven or hell.
However, even if we operate in the most conservative way and use well-known blue-chip stocks around the world as our target for building positions, we will surely be able to generate considerable returns.
And you can collect high management fees and dividends! It is indeed a business that is sure to make money!
In addition to the secondary market, continuing to implement the investment strategy of the primary market is undoubtedly the safest option. Apart from anything else, you only need to continue to increase your holdings in the projects you hold, which is enough to digest the massive amount of funds.
After all, every fast-growing project is undoubtedly a well-deserved money-burning machine, especially for a number of companies that are on the right track.
Only by spending money can we continuously speed up and surpass our competitors until we firmly hold the leading position in the industry under the influence of the Matthew effect!
This is undoubtedly the objective law followed by the development of most industries, and capital only plays the role of a catalyst.
Seeing that the two major platforms, Pinxixi and Douyin, have successively completed financing of more than 1 billion US dollars, Dongsheng Investment's other projects naturally became active.
As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk. If you are in need, you should naturally ask the financial sponsor for money.
After all, if you don't tell me, how can the sponsor know whether you want to pinch me or not? (Funny)
Therefore, not only did major institutions come to us wanting to be investors, but a number of entrepreneurs also came to us actively seeking financing.
In addition, countless entrepreneurial projects of various types were delivered to the mailbox of Dongsheng Investment Company, which really added a lot of workload to the employees.
Only the projects that remain after layers of screening will be handed over to Zhou Dongsheng for the final decision.
Even though he has abundant financial resources now, Zhou Dongsheng will naturally not choose to be a sucker for spending money. If he simply wants to burn money, there are plenty of more meaningful things he can do.
With so many things coming together, even though he has a group of capable people under him and Li Jiana, his personal assistant, to help sort out and share the responsibilities, Zhou Dongsheng still truly experienced the worries of having a big family and a big business!
To the extent that Zhou Dongsheng had to seriously consider again whether he should expand the management of Dongsheng Group again and recruit a few more professional managers to share the work with him while also providing checks and balances on each other.
I should just be a good chairman (wu)...
"Chairman, regarding the first annual meeting since the establishment of the group, this is the preliminary plan drawn up after discussion by the management. Please review it."
Li Jiana is loyal and dedicated, reporting her work meticulously, and her figure wrapped in her professional attire is still flawless.
"Oh? This is interesting. With the current size of our group, this annual meeting will probably take a lot of effort. But everyone has worked hard over the past year, so let's take this opportunity to reward all the employees."
"Just follow this highest standard, money is not a problem." Zhou Dongsheng glanced at the budget on the plan and said calmly.
After all, Dongsheng Group's cash flow is too abundant now, so they have to find a reason to spend some of it. Holding a grand annual meeting is also a cost-effective option.
After all, this is the first annual meeting of Dongsheng Group. If it is done well, it will also help to improve the cohesion of the group...
As he was thinking, Zhou Dongsheng seemed to realize something and looked around, especially at the huge French window, where he could see the Oriental Pearl Tower in full view. It was an excellent view...
However, I always feel like something is missing. Although Dongsheng Group was established only a short time ago, with the current market value of the group exceeding 10 billion US dollars, it seems that the time has come to look for a headquarters building!
I just have a lot of money but have no place to spend it, so I can invest in some real estate and it won’t be a loss. If I go bankrupt, at worst I can become a “landlord”, right?
However, things like headquarters buildings still require careful consideration. Whether it is the choice of city or location, or whether to buy or build it yourself, they are all major focuses of the group's strategy.
Haven’t you seen how many companies that were developing rapidly had their capital chain broken because of problems with their headquarters buildings? Either they wanted to achieve everything in one go, but ended up taking too big a step and getting into trouble, or they were too optimistic about the future…
Zhou Dongsheng touched his chin, wondering if there was a chance to make some ready-made money. After all, he had plenty of cash in his hands, and Yida, which had not yet recovered from the crisis, undoubtedly lacked cash the most!
