The Yangcheng Central Business District is an area where every inch of land is truly valuable, and it also focuses on the most prosperous side of the city.
As one of the three major national central business districts, Yangcheng's heritage as an old city is fully demonstrated here. Whether it is the east-west twin towers, the small waist, or the provincial bank headquarters building, it is enough to open your eyes.
Zhou Dongsheng remembers that when he first came to this place in his previous life, he had a sense of a country bumpkin entering the city. The skyscrapers filling the streets and the elegantly dressed business people coming and going perfectly fit Zhou Dongsheng's concept of "elite".
Word understanding.
At that time, Zhou Dongsheng was thinking, wouldn't it be great if I could work here?
Later, Zhou Dongsheng really got his wish. He joined a high-end financial institution and worked in high-end office buildings. It really gave people an ecstatic illusion, as if he was a superior person.
At first, Zhou Dongsheng thought that he was finally lucky enough to join such a good company. However, if you are not a "lucky" person...
If you get lucky by chance, not only may it be a pie in the sky, but it may also be a big hole in the ground.
Soon after Zhou Dongsheng joined the job, he realized that the threshold for this job was low for a reason, whether it was training that was full of fraud, like a pyramid scheme, or it was brainwashing you in three meetings in two days...
This made Zhou Dongsheng deeply aware that those who engage in finance are not necessarily financial elites. They may also be financial frauds, and people may just get in without making any money.
Later, fortunately, the steady and steady Zhou Dongsheng ran fast and did not fall into the pit. According to the few words I learned later, it didn't take long for the company to be taken over and the employees were also implicated.
And this life is Zhou Dongsheng’s true “luck”!
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng's Mavericks had already entered a brand-new office building that had been put into use for less than a few years, Poly Wei Tower, where Dongsheng Investment is located.
Although he knew the specific location, this was Zhou Dongsheng's first time here, and even Lu Sifang didn't inform him. Quan thought it was a private visit incognito.
I took Li Jiana on the elevator and pressed the button on the 13th floor. The entire floor was divided into several major areas, which belonged to different financial institutions. Dongsheng Investment was one of them.
Although it is not impossible to rent a whole floor of office space, it can only be said that it is possible but not necessary. After all, Dongsheng Investment is just a fledgling company.
However, over time, thanks to the success of Xixi, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, and Mihayo's three major investment projects, it would not be too much to rent an entire floor for office work by then.
When I arrived at the door with the sign "Dongsheng Investment", I heard a wailing sound coming from inside as soon as I entered.
"Damn it, the stock market plummeted today and I lost a lot of money."
"You call this a big dive? I'd rather call it an avalanche!"
"I see you making money every day, and I finally couldn't bear to buy it yesterday... Why couldn't I control my hands?"
From the emotion revealed in his tone, Zhou Dongsheng could clearly feel the despair of this new Leek, but this may also be the epitome of millions of retail investors.
"Hey, hello, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?" the girl at the front desk stood up politely and said.
Li Jiana thoughtfully stepped forward and explained, and the girl's eyes suddenly changed. Maybe she didn't expect that the big boss who never showed up would be so young and handsome...so rich.
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand casually, "I'm just here today to take a look. You don't have to worry about me. I'll go in by myself."
Then he walked into the office area with great interest, wanting to see the "miserable situation" of all the employees. As for trivial matters like discussing stocks at work, Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't take it to heart.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is not an evil capitalist, he is not a wage earner.
As soon as I entered the office area, I saw several helpless faces, among them the vice president Lu Sifang, who obviously joined the discussion as a victim.
Turning his eyes, he couldn't help but tremble when he saw Zhou Dongsheng. It felt a bit embarrassing to feel like he was catching fish at work and being caught by his boss on the spot.
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and said with an easy-going smile: "What about discussing stocks? We have lost a lot today, right?"
Lu Sifang smiled sarcastically, "Boss, let's just have a casual chat and exchange investment ideas..."
In addition to the people who had been on business trips with Lu Sifang who knew Zhou Dongsheng, there were also a few new faces who were meeting him for the first time. When he saw that the big boss was here, he immediately felt a little nervous.
"It's okay. If you are in the investment industry, paying more attention to the stock market is part of your job. I just came here to take a look when I have nothing to do. This is my first time." Zhou Dongsheng said with the same easy-going smile.
Lu Sifang felt a little relieved in his heart. If the boss didn't blame him, it would be no big deal. If he really wanted to scare the monkeys, Lu Sifang would have to suffer.
"Then boss, can I take you for a walk?" Lu Sifang said with a smile.
"No, it's such a big place so you can see it at a glance. Let's go sit in your office and talk about something by the way." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and then walked inside.
A group of three people walked into Lu Sifang's office. After closing the door, the atmosphere outside relaxed a little, and many people immediately started whispering.
"This is the big boss of our company? So young!"
"You don't know this, right? I saw him last time when I went on a business trip with Mr. Lu, and Principal Wang was also there!"
"It seems that he is also a young second generation. I don't know which family he belongs to..."
"The boss is not just a second-generation person. The first project was negotiated by the boss himself..."
…
After entering the office, Zhou Dongsheng naturally sat in Lu Sifang's seat, with Li Jiana standing behind him.
"Boss, I have been following up on Brandon Green's matter. Brandon promises to arrive at our side in June and will bring personnel from the relevant R&D team..."
Lu Sifang immediately got into the state of reporting and explained meticulously, as if to say that he was not fishing.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and nodded when he heard this, "Don't be nervous, don't worry about this matter. I came to you today to give you a new project and do some follow-up."
For the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" project, after the key man Brandon Green was taken care of, all that was left was nothing more than trivial matters such as setting up a company and burning money for research and development.
Although the key factor of Blue Hole Studio is missing, Zhou Dongsheng still understands that ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in hand. It is better to have something than nothing.
Compared with the long-term and short-term investment returns in the stock market, Zhou Dongsheng is now increasingly interested in this kind of real project that involves long-term efforts to catch big fish.
Although it is all about making money, the sense of accomplishment of personally participating in the incubation of such a big future project, and even playing a certain role in promoting it, is still quite fascinating.
"Okay, boss, please speak." Lu Sifang immediately sat upright, looking like he was listening attentively.
"The game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is still aimed at the PC game group, but in the next few years, the rapidly developing mobile games will also be a huge market that cannot be ignored, and the audience may even exceed the number of PC games several times."
"Since we have all invested in mobile games, we cannot miss the trend of mobile games. I just cashed out a sum of money from the stock market two days ago, so I want to find suitable investment projects in companies that focus on mobile games...
…”
Zhou Dongsheng elaborated his views and ideas slowly, giving full play to the subjective initiative of his subordinates.
But these words were mixed with a hint of unusual information in Lu Sifang's ears.
The boss, actually, escaped this big plunge?
Damn it, even if you are young, handsome and rich, you are still so lucky! Is God so unfair?
Thinking of the tragic situation in his stock account, Lu Sifang couldn't help but bleed in his heart.
