Volume 5: Blossom and Fruit 2018 Chapter 909
Regarding this, since I have made up my mind to do such an earth-shattering thing, I will naturally accept everyone who comes to me.
Give full play to Han Xin's spirit of selecting soldiers, the more the better, unite all the forces you can unite, and then twist this force into a gun and push it towards one place.
To be honest, Zhou Dongsheng has unprecedented expectations. If he gives his all, how much of a role can he play in this epic event?
At the very least... it shouldn't be worse than the previous life. At least it will allow those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the people to fight a well-prepared battle with sufficient supplies!
After all, the most deep-rooted fear of us rabbits is undoubtedly the fear of insufficient firepower!
If saturation rescue can be guaranteed, it may be able to play a certain role.
But before that, Zhou Dongsheng would never make this matter public. After all, he knew very well that the mouth can cause trouble.
This is also one of the main reasons why he went to such great lengths to make his case, so that he could fully conceal his motives.
As long as you have a legitimate reason, it would just be an accident. After all, there have been many such coincidences in history, just like a pig in the wind.
No one would think that the pig was so smart that it could calculate the timing of the opportunity in advance and appear there at the right time!
The general public would obviously prefer to believe that the pig was just simply lucky.
Compared with the former, the latter is undoubtedly easier to accept.
And compared to the naked former, the latter can also give oneself the psychological comfort that it is just bad luck. Why not do it?
And with the man in love and the woman interested, the meetings with many institutions went exceptionally smoothly.
With many institutions gathered together, Zhou Dongsheng very "openly and transparently" informed all major institutions of the huge risks in advance. He was just short of directly saying the simple truth that "investment is risky, so be cautious when investing."
At the same time, he repeatedly reiterated his aggressive investment style and bold operating methods, giving many institutions a psychological boost in advance.
However, human nature is often like this. The more Zhou Dongsheng repeatedly emphasized the risks and his radical style, the more many institutions were willing to accept it.
After all, high risk means high return in their eyes, and Zhou Dongsheng's radical style naturally reminds them of the many incredible success cases he has created.
If it weren't for his radicalism, how could he have accumulated a fortune of hundreds of billions in such a short period of time?
What we want is to be aggressive. If we want to proceed steadily, why would we need to bother Zhou Dongsheng? We would have to pay a high management fee, and a portion of the profits would have to be given to Zhou Dongsheng...
Therefore, even though Zhou Dongsheng poured several pots of cold water on them, the enthusiasm of a number of institutions did not diminish at all, but instead became even higher, as if what they poured were not cold water, but several pots of gasoline.
Not only that, in order to show their determination, many institutions present rushed to show their sincerity, and often entrusted large sums of funds starting from 1 billion US dollars to Zhou Dongsheng for operation without any hesitation.
This is the right to speak that Zhou Dongsheng has established with his "absolute strength", and it is also a reflection of his actual influence.
After all, the 80/20 rule that governs the world also governs the capital market. As the many institutions that control wealth, they enjoy the many benefits brought by wealth growth and are naturally very afraid of losing it.
Therefore, as a very small minority among those who follow the 80/20 rule, they often have a much stronger obsession with wealth growth than most people.
After all, according to the 80/20 rule, 20% of people control 80% of the wealth. By analogy, it is not difficult to conclude that 10% of people will own 65% of the wealth, and 5% of people can own more than 50% of the wealth!
And the richest 1% can even occupy 45% of the world's wealth!
This is the cruelest fact in the 80/20 rule that governs the world.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. For those who stand on the side of the 80/20 rule, they naturally need to do everything possible to maintain this transcendent status so that they can continue to maintain their wealth and glory.
It is for this reason that many asset management companies have emerged to manage the assets of this group of people, and these people can naturally hide behind major well-known institutions and remain unknown to outsiders.
People only know about world-renowned top private equity funds such as Blackstone and BlackRock. The two of them alone manage assets worth more than 10 trillion US dollars, which can be said to be a perfect interpretation of the 80/20 rule.
As for the investors behind it, or the name of the family fund, it is little known and there are many different opinions, but the actual scale of assets cannot be false.
So far, Apple, the company with the highest market value in the world, has not even achieved the historic achievement of breaking through the trillion US dollars market value.
However, the combined assets managed by these two top private equity firms can easily buy a bag of apples (funny).
Although Zhou Dongsheng made tens of billions of US dollars by harvesting "leeks" in the cryptocurrency circle and successfully became famous in the private equity fund field, he is undoubtedly still a long way from the first echelon in terms of foundation and capital scale.
But you have to know that these two private equity funds, which are considered the largest in the world, were both established in the late 1980s and have only just crossed the threshold of "30 years of independence".
From this we can see that, while seniority is important in the financial field, it is definitely not the most important factor. Otherwise...
Today, those who sit at the top of the industry should be the century-old family funds, rather than the newer private equity funds.
Zhou Dongsheng, who has emerged as a dark horse, has undoubtedly demonstrated his strength and has made his mark in the private equity field as a rising star.
Such a brave and hardworking young man has unlimited potential. Many organizations voted and said, "For this term, I choose this magical oriental boy!"
Well, this is the world of martial arts. There is no fighting and killing, it’s all about human relationships and worldly wisdom.
Whether it is the fact that in just a few years, the market value of Dongsheng Group, which he founded, has exceeded 100 billion, or Dongsheng's overseas private equity funds have harvested the cryptocurrency circle and created a remarkable record of more than 10 billion US dollars in profits...
There are countless impressive achievements like this, and each one of them can definitely be regarded as a shining golden medal of life, and it is an honor that anyone would brag about for the rest of their life.
However, such medals, hanging all over Zhou Dongsheng's chest, are enough to give people a spiritual shock at a glance.
In the capital market, this is no longer considered a potential stock, after all, stocks can still be traded freely...
A more accurate description would be a closed-end fund with astonishing performance growth!
Before it is opened, you can only watch others enjoying the good life and making enough profits to drive you crazy!
However, when such a company with amazing performance growth, whose short-term profits alone amounted to several thousand percent, suddenly opened up for sale...
It is not difficult to imagine how enthusiastic and crazy investors will be!
Of course, the threshold for a private equity fund with this capacity and scale is naturally very high, and ordinary investors don’t even have channels to obtain information.
Just like at this moment, as major institutions are scrambling to take out chips to express their sincerity, the prices and thresholds are being raised invisibly.
When using hundreds of millions of US dollars as a benchmark, a subtle rule naturally forms.
Those who are below this level should not come out and embarrass themselves, after all, there are too many monks and too little meat.
You think those who get to eat the meat will leave some soup for those behind them, but in fact they want to chew the bowl into pieces and swallow it.
Capital will not give up any of the benefits that are within its grasp. They can be jackals, tigers and leopards, but they can also be vultures circling in the sky.
This is why major institutions need to scramble to show their sincerity. If they don’t get their chips out before others…
I’m afraid I won’t even be qualified to bid in a while.
Sure enough, as the appetizers were served, one of the fat men sitting near the front seat, who looked fat and had big ears, spoke slowly.
"We have a fund overseas that is about to mature. A rough estimate is that it should be about 18 billion, no more, no less. I wonder if Mr. Jay is interested in taking it over?"
Zhou Dongsheng was calm and composed, looking like he was sitting on a throne of terror. He couldn't help but reveal an indifferent expression when he heard that.
"If Mr. Jin dares to give it to me, I will take it. I will tell you the truth. Originally, my psychological expectation for the scale of this fundraising was 100 billion!"
Zhou Dongsheng stretched out a finger and waved it casually as if he was talking about a dollar.
"After all, my ability is limited. If there are too many, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them all. I can only do it step by step, from 10 to 100. Now it's just right for me to play with 1000!"
"If you have any concerns, I can pay for the rest out of my own pocket. If it doesn't work, I can always recruit more people!"
After Zhou Dongsheng finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair, and there was naturally no need to say anything else.
Now that Zhou Dongsheng has said this, the big institutions that really want to make a profit will naturally no longer hesitate.
Several people sitting next to Mr. Jin spoke up, "Why should Mr. Jay pay for such a small matter out of his own pocket? Isn't this a slap in our face?"
"That's right, there's no need to bother two people with the same problem. Why would we need anyone else to get involved? We can handle it with just a few of us."
In such a harmonious, friendly and brotherly scene, the investment scale was divided up by all the institutions present.
At the end, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but look regretful, "What a pity, I wanted to keep a little share for myself to earn some pocket money as a small treasury..."
Of course, everyone just laughed off such harmless jokes.
Although a preliminary intention has been reached, it will naturally take some time for the funding to be in place after it is put on paper, let alone such a large amount of funds.
In addition, Zhou Dongsheng naturally needs some time to prepare for the fund's position planning.
Even if one's purpose is clear, one still needs some cover to conceal one's identity.
To have such a large sum of money at my disposal, I must at least ensure that it looks good on paper.
Of course, even if you invest heavily in the medical sector and put all your money into it, you won’t necessarily suffer a loss…
However, this transition period of a year or so may not be easy to get through, so Zhou Dongsheng naturally has to make preparations for both scenarios.
At the same time, there was a .
What if, what if this butterfly of mine is really like the butterfly in the Brazilian rain forest...
If a chain reaction of just flapping its wings could create a storm thousands of miles away...
So is there a possibility that the train of time can slightly deviate in direction and head towards another unpredictable path?
Weather is an unpredictable chaotic system, and so is fate.
For a moment, even Zhou Dongsheng was not sure which side was more terrifying.
Is it the unpredictable future, or the catastrophe that will sweep away human civilization...
Should I hope that it happens as usual, or not?
Putting aside the things that only Zhou Dongsheng would worry about, Zhou Dongsheng's influence today is undoubtedly much greater than that of the World Cup back then.
Back then, it was impossible for him, a butterfly, to affect the World Cup far away in the rainforest, after all, there was the Pacific Ocean between them.
Even the butterfly in the Brazilian rainforest can only affect South America...
But Zhou Dongsheng's sphere of influence today is undoubtedly much larger than that!
Although the funds of hundreds of billions of US dollars are far from the top private equity funds with a scale of trillions of US dollars.
It is even more impossible to be compared with BlackRock and Blackstone, which together control more than 10 trillion US dollars in assets worldwide.
But it is indeed enough to play a small role.
Even the medical device companies that can be ranked are almost all top industrial giants in the world!
For example, Siemens has a market value of over 100 billion. In front of an industrial giant of this scale, talking about acquisition is just nonsense.
Even if Siemens is willing, it still has to ask the German government whether it is willing. Even if Germany agrees, you still have to see what the EU says. Even if you leave the EU, you still have to see...
Therefore, in order to be safe, Zhou Dongsheng naturally had to take a long-term view on how to save the country in a roundabout way.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile knowingly. Wow, this time it really became a "roundabout way to save the country"!
When he thought of these four words, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly felt a powerful force surging from deep within his heart for no reason.
It seemed as if countless figures of martyrs and ancestors appeared before my eyes, and their heroic deeds emerged in my mind...
That name that I have been familiar with since I was a child, and the more I understand about it as I grow older, the more I can understand the unswerving belief behind it!
Just like the golden stars twinkling in that red!
"Now, it's my turn..." Zhou Dongsheng suddenly realized something.
Until this moment, Zhou Dongsheng finally understood the true meaning of the poem he had learned in the textbook...
“Why do I always have tears in my eyes…”
The closed loop of education is finally closed tightly at this moment!
