The personable Chen Ou was originally very interested in Zhou Dongsheng and wanted to come over to say hello and make friends.
After all, there are many friends and many paths, not to mention Zhou Dongsheng, who is in the limelight, is also a worthy partner for Chen Ou, no matter what aspect he is in.
But he didn't expect that before he could speak, Zhou Dongsheng had already taken the lead and even showed more enthusiasm than himself, which made Chen Ou feel a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Zhou is really too polite. Originally, I thought I was only over 30 years old and in my prime. But compared with an outstanding young man like Mr. Zhou, I have to feel that I am indeed old..."
Chen Ou smiled modestly, and the smile on Zhou Dongsheng's face became brighter.
"Mr. Chen is a well-deserved youth leader. The speech I gave for myself inspired many young people, and I am one of them. I am finally lucky enough to meet him today. It is really a great honor..."
Chen Ou was not surprised, and even couldn't help showing a look of satisfaction. After all, this magical stroke was indeed a highlight moment in his life.
Even he himself did not expect that the effect of this advertisement would be so good. The series of chain reactions it would bring to his career would be calculated in hundreds of millions...
"I'm just advertising for my career. In this regard, Mr. Zhou's performance is much better than mine back then. A short video program easily became popular all over the Internet..."
"As the saying goes, a master is a teacher. I think it is in this aspect that I need to learn more from Mr. Zhou. If not, I am here to learn from him..."
In fact, the origin of Chen Ou's interest in Zhou Dongsheng is indeed the same. After all, compared to his "I speak for myself", he became famous and entered the public eye.
Zhou Dongsheng's sentence "The life of rich people is so simple and boring" has an even more impactful effect, and the short video program format can continue to continue this style...
It may not be as effective as his blockbuster advertisements, but with the addition of a series of works, it is definitely far more valuable than one advertisement can produce.
As for Zhou Dongsheng acting in movies, Chen Ou, who has completely established himself as the spokesperson of his company, has also done the same thing, even more thoroughly than Zhou Dongsheng.
Not only in movies, but also in many variety shows, Chen Ou frequently appeared as a young and promising entrepreneur. He accurately captured the female group behind the variety shows and attracted traffic for his cosmetics business.
In this regard, as an entrepreneur, Chen Ou has a very keen sense of market control.
Nowadays, with the popularity of short video formats, there are endless Internet celebrities and their derived commercial values. These new things that are gradually moving into the mainstream view are also content that Chen Ou is very interested in and wants to know urgently.
After all, in the ever-changing Internet era, the old saying goes, "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." If you can't keep up with the times, you will be eliminated by the times.
Chen Ou, who has already fallen down, knows this very well.
Therefore, it is naturally an effective shortcut to make friends with Zhou Dongsheng, a trend-setter who is currently active on the cusp of the times.
In addition, Chen Ou is also very interested in another thing about Zhou Dongsheng...
"Mr. Chen is really ridiculous. In comparison, you, the youngest CEO in the history of the New York Stock Exchange, are more worth learning from. You are really a role model for our generation!" Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
I have to say that these words were a compliment to Chen Ou's heart. Seeing Zhou Dongsheng's neither arrogant nor impetuous appearance became more and more pleasing to his eyes.
The two sides complimented each other in business, and after a few back and forth exchanges of compliments, the smiles on their faces became more and more sincere.
Sure enough, carrying people in a sedan chair is always the fastest way to get closer to each other. After all, who doesn’t like to hear good things from others?
This kind of thing is obviously not suitable to be used at the beginning of a relationship.
After a pleasant conversation, the two parties exchanged contact information as a matter of course. As the chat got better, the differences between them also disappeared a bit.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Ou couldn't help but bring up another topic that he was very interested in and curious about.
"When it comes to Internet celebrities, Mr. Zhou is a well-deserved pioneer. I will definitely have to ask Mr. Zhou for advice in the future, but there is another thing. I really want to hear Mr. Zhou's thoughts..."
"After all, in this field, as far as I know, Mr. Zhou is also one of the first courageous people to try something new!"
As Chen Ou changed the subject, Zhou Dongsheng was also aroused, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what else in himself could interest such a young talent...
Don't tell me, there are quite a few. There are so many killer tricks that it's really hard to figure out for a while. What others are worried about can only pretend to be confused.
"Mr. Chen, it's okay to say it. If I know, then I will definitely tell you everything I know." Zhou Dongsheng said cheerfully. Anyway, the words must be beautiful in the scene.
As long as there are no interests involved, it's easy to say, just like the boss drawing a pie for his employees, it can be as big and round as it wants.
However, as long as the salary increase is mentioned, I will directly perform a face-changing stunt on you, "Hey, that's it, I haven't heard of it!"
"Then let me tell you straight, it's a project invested by you, Mr. Zhou, shared bicycles!" Chen Ou said with burning eyes, as if he was very interested in this thing.
Zhou Dongsheng immediately showed an expression of sudden realization, and at the same time, he also thought of another thing about Chen Ou.
In comparison, it may not be as well-known as "I speak for myself", but it is also a widely circulated gambling game on the Internet, and Principal Wang plays a role in it.
That's what happened when Chen Ou invested in the shared power bank industry, and received the blessing of Principal Wang from the industry, "If the shared power bank can be successful for me, I will post a post as proof!"
In this regard, the authenticity is naturally open to question, and Zhou Dongsheng is still unknown, but Chen Ou’s investment in a shared power bank is a real thing.
And when the cosmetics business was in a precipitous decline, relying on this investment as a way out would at least allow Chen Ou to have the capital to make a comeback, because the later shared power banks did achieve considerable success.
Although Re does not know exactly when Chen Ou began to pay attention to the concept of the sharing economy, it is obvious that at this moment, Zhou Dongsheng is also an investor in the sharing economy, and he still has certain topics in common with him.
Coupled with the many foreshadowings and similarities before, the two became more and more speculative. Thinking of Chen Ou's successful investment, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.
Maybe you can take part in it yourself.
"Oh? This is unexpected to me. I didn't expect Mr. Chen's focus to be so unique. He only noticed the shared bicycle project. Could it be that Mr. Chen is very optimistic about the future of the sharing economy?"
Zhou Dongsheng said knowingly.
"Yes, the concept of sharing has been around for a long time. As early as when I went to Stanford to study for a degree, I had already come into contact with projects such as Uber and Airbnb there. But at that time, I had not thought that this concept of sharing could be used domestically.
Shine brightly!”
Chen Ou said very calmly, and the reason why he was so brilliant was naturally about Didi, the rising galactic battleship, not the shared bicycles under Zhou Dongsheng.
Although they both belong to the concept of sharing economy, they are completely different. Not long ago, Didi once again received a strategic investment of over US$600 million from China Life Insurance. Now the valuation of this Galaxy Battleship has exceeded US$20 billion!
Moreover, the passengers on this Galaxy Battleship are all top investors standing at the top of the capital market. Domestic Alibaba and Tenda alone, as well as Apple from overseas, these three major capital platforms are enough to highlight the success of this ship.
Galaxy Battleship’s strong capital base.
At the same time, a natural threshold has been formed, shutting out countless investors who cannot meet the standards, so they can only focus on other players in the sharing economy sector...
This is as clear-cut as the stock market. Didi is undoubtedly the leading stock in the sharing economy sector, and only top investors can become the main force.
Driven by the leading stocks, other investors will follow the trend and enter this sector. After reaching a consensus, the market's main rising trend will naturally appear...
Although Chen Ou is the youngest CEO of a listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, he is still far from being a top investor, so he can only choose to look for other prey.
And when you turn your attention to other players, you will naturally notice Zhou Dongsheng, an extremely conspicuous investor.
After all, Mobike, a bike-sharing project that was originally unknown, immediately became a blockbuster with the support of [Papi Jiang], the number one Internet celebrity of the year, and made its name in the industry.
Moreover, the B round of financing introduced Zhuchang Capital. With the support of such a top investor, this originally unknown shared bicycle project has directly increased, and its valuation has increased exponentially!
Behind all these actions, there is an inseparable relationship with the young man Zhou Dongsheng, which once again refreshed the capital market's understanding of the young man Zhou Dongsheng's abilities.
If the Wuzhen Dinner only made Zhou Dongsheng, a junior, attract attention, then it would be another matter if he had the ability to bring Pig Factory Capital into the game.
I don’t know how many people are secretly trying every possible means to confirm whether Zhou Dongsheng is the illegitimate son of a certain boss...
There was no way, this was the most reasonable explanation they could think of. To a certain extent, this was a recognition of Zhou Dongsheng.
"Shared bicycles, I am personally optimistic about the future of this green mode of travel. After all, the discussion of environmental protection issues is becoming increasingly fierce. With the current emphasis on environmental protection, in order to achieve the plan to reduce carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality, in this general direction
Under the premise, we will inevitably increase our efforts to promote green travel."
"In addition to the general direction, user demand cannot be underestimated. Under the wave of urbanization, every city has gathered countless floating people working to make a living. Their demand for commuting is enough to create a huge market...
…”
Zhou Dongsheng was not stingy and expressed a little bit of his own opinions. In fact, under the premise of knowing the future historical context very well, no matter how far-fetched Zhou Dongsheng was, as long as the result was correct, it would be "good advice."
Otherwise, no matter how lofty the words are, only to achieve nothing in the end, it will be unconvincing.
"So I personally feel that there is still a lot of room for growth in shared bicycles. The market is far from saturated. If Mr. Chen is interested, now is the right time to enter the market..."
Zhou Dongsheng encouraged Chen Ou in a secret way, convincing Chen Ou in a serious way.
After all, holding the two big monster stocks in the bike-sharing sector, Zhou Dongsheng is naturally eager for more people to come in to carry his sedan chair. Apart from these two monster stocks, most of the other projects are only cannon fodder.
Even the two monster stocks will not escape the fate of cannon fodder in the end, but at this time when they are just starting to take off, it is obviously not the time to worry about this...
Chen Ou couldn't help but express his emotions, but entrepreneurs who can succeed in their careers always have their own persistence and opinions, and will not be easily swayed by others.
It is this persistence that is different from ordinary people that makes it easier for them to reach the threshold of success.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Mr. Zhou's words really enlightened me and gave me a deeper understanding of shared bicycles. However, I personally am more optimistic about another shared project..."
"I wonder what Mr. Zhou thinks about shared power banks?" Chen Ou did not choose to take Amway from Zhou Dongsheng, and even planned to give Amway to Zhou Dongsheng in reverse.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng wanted others to come in and carry the sedan for him, so Chen Ou had no intention of taking advantage of Zhou Dongsheng.
With Zhou Dongsheng's current reputation in the capital circle, such a capital upstart has attracted much attention, and he may not have the ability to become a capital vane...
At this point, Chen Ou, the old fox, has finally revealed his fox tail. Perhaps this is his real purpose.
"Shared power bank..." Zhou Dongsheng thought to himself, he is indeed a human spirit and not so easy to fool.
Like shared bicycles, one of the few shared projects that has survived this wave of capital, shared power bank is naturally one of the very sexy projects.
Just when Zhou Dongsheng wanted to express his opinion, a slightly lazy voice suddenly interrupted from the side.
"Shared power bank? What market demand is there for this thing?" Principal Wang made a grand appearance with Xue Li in his arms. Apparently, he just heard Chen Ou's question.
"Oh? Does Principal Wang have any good ideas? I would like to hear the details." Chen Ou said in a personable manner without any annoyance.
"Not really, Gao Jian. I just feel that there is no market for this project. A power bank only costs a few dollars. Why don't you just buy one and carry it with you? Why rent one?" Principal Wang said matter-of-factly.
"No matter how low the rental fee is, it doesn't belong to you. Just buy one once and for all..." Principal Wang said nonchalantly.
It is not difficult to tell that Principal Wang is indeed not optimistic about this project, and his speech, which is quite "why not eat minced meat", shows that Principal Wang is indeed not the audience of this project.
Limited by his superior conditions, it seems reasonable that Principal Wang cannot see the large blue ocean behind the sharing economy.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but ridicule, "If you say this, doesn't the shared bicycle I invest in also follow the same principle?"
"I really don't understand your investment, but based on my understanding of you, you never do business at a loss..." Principal Wang said very respectfully.
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but answer, "What if I say that I am also very optimistic about the shared power bank project?"
