Chapter 716: Life and death depend on wealth and honor
"Ah? Okay, boss, please tell me, as long as there is something I can do better, I will do my best without hesitation."
During this ups and downs, even Xu Ruoan almost lost his composure. Then he quickly adjusted his mentality and said decisively.
While I was overjoyed, I couldn't help but think of my old job. Isn't that just the entertainment industry? What tasks would I entrust to myself?
The answer seems to be coming soon.
"Currently, when it comes to film investment, it was just a whim at first. I didn't expect it to become more and more decent. Now that I have participated in Director Ning's youth film project..."
"Then this movie investment cannot be taken seriously. You happen to be familiar with the twists and turns of the entertainment industry, so I will leave this part to you. You have to take care of both sides. Isn't it a bit difficult for you?"
Zhou Dongsheng said casually.
"I can, old... Chairman, don't worry, I will do my best to defend the interests of the group..." When Xu Ruo'an heard this, he couldn't help but be happy, and he changed his mind and called the chairman directly.
This made Xu Kaidao on the side scream in his heart that he had made a mistake. He was so complacent that he forgot to change his words and let others take the lead.
Old Xu, Old Xu, you are so confused. Xu Kaidao could only pray secretly, the boss...oh no, the chairman! He didn't take this matter to heart.
Otherwise, if I step into the office with my left foot the next day, I am afraid that I will die. After all, missing the opportunity at this level is not more uncomfortable than dying?
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng was not such a petty person, but the satisfied smile on his face betrayed his innermost feelings.
The rest of the group waited and watched the words, and they suddenly understood. It was obvious at a glance what to call him next.
Everyone calls him "Chairman", but it's embarrassing for anyone who doesn't call him "Chairman"!
"As for the e-sports department, my dear old friend..." Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile, and Li Jiana beside him started to act as a translator in a tacit understanding.
As a personal assistant, Zhou Dongsheng no longer needs to say anything when it comes to tacit understanding. He only needs a pat on the butt to change...ah, there is a tacit understanding anyway, cough cough.
"Oh~ My dear BOSS, just maintaining and operating PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has consumed most of my energy. In terms of management, I just want to lead my team and make my game good..."
When he heard Zhou Dongsheng mentioning himself, Brandon Green, a young old man, immediately raised his hand and expressed his thoughts very tactfully.
In fact, looking at the entire group, judging from Brandon Green's current achievements, he is definitely one of the top contributors. The globally popular "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" alone is enough to become his gold medal for avoiding death.
There is no need to rely on further management positions to prove himself. He can be called the uncrowned king under Zhou Dongsheng. He may not have much impact even if he moves sideways within the group.
After all, this is a well-deserved cash cow. With the performance of the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", even if he leaves Dongsheng Group, I believe there will be many people willing to offer him generous olive branches to recruit him.
With such a transcendent status, even if a senior executive is parachuted in, he must be treated with courtesy, so why add unnecessary burdens to yourself.
It is better to concentrate on being responsible for the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. This is the foundation of Brandon Green's career.
Under Li Jiana's considerate translation, Brandon Green's refusal was completely expected by Zhou Dongsheng. After all, in the process of getting along with him, Zhou Dongsheng also knew that this little old man was indeed a pure game producer.
.
It was precisely because of his love for battle royale games that he had ideological differences with the "h1z1" team, which gave Zhou Dongsheng, who was wielding a hoe, an opportunity.
At the same time, it is this love that led to the birth of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", a masterpiece that is better than the previous one.
If Brandon Green wants to be the one talking about the matter, it will naturally be difficult for others to argue with him. Even if Zhou Dongsheng has the final say, he must take into account the feelings of the parties concerned.
Since Brandon Green took the initiative to abdicate in favor of someone better, it would be easy to handle. Zhou Dongsheng took advantage of the situation and looked at Sao Zhu who was watching from the side.
Perhaps sensing Zhou Dongsheng's gaze, Liu, who was watching the excitement, turned around and met his eyes. He couldn't help but trembled and waved his hands quickly.
"Chairman! You know me, I have no academic qualifications, and I have nothing but being able to play games, so I can be a game anchor. I am not good at managing this kind of thing..."
As the co-founder and shareholder of IM Club, it is natural for Liu, an old friend, to be able to sit here.
Of course, there is no doubt that he is also a staunch "royalist". Apart from him, both Principal Wang and Huang Haoze and others only sent representatives symbolically to express their support and did not attend in person.
After all, today is destined to be Zhou Dongsheng's personal home court. They don't want to dominate the show, and naturally they don't want to be a mere foil.
The playful expression of Sao Zhu made the somewhat dull conference room burst into laughter. Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Zhou Dongsheng didn't pay attention.
Instead, he laughed and scolded: "You should be responsible for taking care of the club's affairs. You can't do bad things in this business."
"Promise to complete the task!" Liu saluted solemnly. If there was a live broadcast lens, the live broadcast effect would be there anyway.
"Ah, okay, okay, how about you, Lao Zhang, take charge of the e-sports department for the time being." Zhou Dongsheng said easily and casually.
Zhang Xiaoguang, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't help but froze, but it was fleeting, and then he immediately agreed, "No problem, Chairman, I also want to learn more about the emerging industry of e-sports..."
This arrangement was unexpected by Zhang Xiaoguang, but it was also reasonable. The idea of reaching the sky in one step was indeed a bit fanciful.
It is obviously difficult to convince the public just by completing the achievement of groupization, but Zhang Xiaoguang is not discouraged. What he lacks is just qualifications. He only needs to accumulate more, and he will still have a chance...
What's more, Zhang Xiaoguang, who quickly adjusted his mentality, keenly caught the word "concurrent management" in Zhou Dongsheng's words, and obviously had other plans for himself.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaoguang decisively and actively accepted this arrangement without any objection, and his tact as a career veteran was fully demonstrated.
Zhou Dongsheng nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "As for the investment department, let Lu Sifang continue to be in charge. Although our current investment projects are limited and we have achieved some small results..."
"But this kind of temporary success or failure is obviously not enough to become a merit. We need to take precautions and make more plans for the future. Next, I will prepare to further deploy investment strategies..."
"I'll put an extra burden on you, Lao Lu, so you have to be mentally prepared."
Zhou Dongsheng said in an old-fashioned manner. The experienced words came from the mouth of a young man in his early twenties, which was somewhat strange, but no one present felt it at all.
"No problem, Chairman, I am willing to do my best for the group!" Lu Sifang said brightly. As Dongsheng Investment became famous in the industry, Lu Sifang naturally did not take advantage of it either.
When he first switched jobs from a well-known investment institution to such a little-known investment company, countless colleagues teased him that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.
Although he said this openly, he was probably being treated as a joke behind the scenes, just like the people who left their iron jobs and went into business overseas in that era, and were also questioned a lot.
Once you don't become famous, you will naturally comply with their wishes. If you really let you become famous, your molar teeth will be broken.
Nowadays, Lu Si is so convenient that he has already become the envy of others, and some even openly expressed their intention to jump jobs and join him.
Lu Sifang clearly remembered that this was the person who laughed the most when he left...
Apart from sighing that human nature is like this, what else can Lu Sifang say?
And now when he heard that Zhou Dongsheng was going to add more responsibilities to him, Lu Sifang was naturally even more happy.
"Okay, I'll tell you in detail later." Zhou Dongsheng nodded and said nothing more. Regarding the investment direction, Zhou Dongsheng did not just talk nonsense. He did have thoughts in this regard.
Not to mention anything else, after shared bicycles made another good start in the sharing economy, shared power banks have never been optimistic, but in the end they made a comeback and became a key player in the sharing economy...
It was naturally impossible for Zhou Dongsheng to leave it behind. After a conversation with Chen Ou, the entrepreneurial pioneer who fed you a bag of salt, Zhou Dongsheng had already kept this matter in mind.
As a hidden gem that even Principal Wang was not optimistic about, compared to the attention that the star-studded star of shared bicycles has received, the controversy surrounding shared power banks has always been considerable.
But in the end, as a key player in the sharing economy that truly achieved profitability, it can be said to have truly "revived the glory of the sharing economy."
At present, under the cover of the glory of shared bicycles, except for Chen Ou, I am afraid that not many investors will pay attention to and be optimistic about this seemingly "tasteless" product.
Zhou Dongsheng would naturally not miss such a good opportunity to pick up leaks. It was just right for Lu Sifang to take advantage of it. At the very least, a lot of preliminary research work had to be done well.
After all, apart from knowing the prospects of the industry, Zhou Dongsheng is basically blind. Even if he knows that he can make money, he at least has to show off and put on a show.
Although Xiaotou is not considered a failure, he still has to act.
When Zhou Dongsheng mentioned the investment, the outside directors who had been acting as bystanders immediately became energetic.
"Ahem, if Director Jay has any financial problems in investment, just ask, we will definitely help. After all, we are all in the same boat..."
"Yes, Director Jay's vision is obvious to all. We even joked in private that his eyes are the 'golden eyes'. As long as the project chosen by Director Jay is chosen, we will not lose money..."
Flattery words don't require any money anyway, so they are meant to be spoken in a big way. As an investor, you can do it without any trouble.
"Hey, it's all thanks to my peers, but the investment project hasn't been finalized yet, but Dongsheng Group has been officially established. I'm going to do something big. If you are interested, you can participate..."
Although Zhou Dongsheng is well aware of the principle of "everyone adds fuel to the flames" and has never thought of living alone, he still earns money for everyone, so he shouldn't worry about himself.
Everything has its closeness and distance, otherwise why would there be so many factions?
"It's okay, Director Jay. Since we want to do big things, we must gather everyone's strength to achieve big things." A group of outside directors quickly agreed.
"It's not a fluke that I can get to where I am today step by step. The foundation of Dongsheng Group is not due to me alone. In addition to thanking everyone here..."
"I have to thank today's social conditions. As Brother Ding said to me, sometimes in life, making the right choice is more important than working hard. No matter how many wrong choices you make, it will be in vain."
"With the general trend, I just did the right thing and chose to follow the trend. Therefore, the first major event after the establishment of Dongsheng Group is to fully mobilize the group's resources and devote itself to charity activities to repay society's gifts.
…”
These eloquent and well-structured words made a group of outside directors look at each other, what the hell?
The brothers want to make a fortune with you, but when you come up, you are ready to lead the brothers to give back to society?
Or is it that Zhou Dongsheng wants to play the trick of "repaying the squire's money in full and dividing the common people's money equally"?
Just like the ever-changing Ponzi scheme, it often only takes old wine in new bottles and a new concept to make a comeback, as if it works every time.
Routines like this are not considered clever tricks in the industry. Every now and then, some people choose to take desperate risks, playing the game of gaining wealth through risk.
Anyway, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. Life and death are determined by fate and wealth!
But when it comes to Zhou Dongsheng, it is somewhat out of place. After all, Zhou Dongsheng is now the one who has put on the shoes...
Or is this a certificate of nomination? To be more precise, maybe it is a ticket...
After all, everyone likes to be a white wolf with nothing, but there is no doubt that no one wants to be the one who is trapped.
And when it comes to making money, if you don't have any sincerity at all, why should you let others take whatever you want?
Although I don’t know if I am overthinking it, but since Zhou Dongsheng is a young man who should not be underestimated, it is not an exaggeration to overthink it.
After realizing this, someone quickly responded decisively, "I didn't expect that even though Mr. Jay is young, he already understands the principle of being poor and benefiting oneself, and being successful and benefiting the world. It really makes us feel ashamed."
"Returning to society is a good thing, so naturally I have to respond positively. I will definitely contribute my small amount and learn from Director Jay..."
As some people took the lead in responding, other outside directors who were still pondering the deeper meaning were naturally unwilling to lag behind. Even if they didn't think of this aspect, it didn't matter. If they just followed the trend, it would be over.
The same is true for investment. If you can't be the first to eat crabs, then you can follow suit. As long as we can make the industry bigger and stronger together, you will naturally get a share of the pie brought by the market growth share.
"Yes, although we are not as ideologically aware as Jay Chou, it is natural that we should do our part to repay society for such a great thing."
"I can donate one million to Dongsheng Charity Fund for free, which is considered a small contribution..."
"Mr. Wang is so grand. In this case, we can't overshadow Mr. Wang. One Million and I..."
Seeing the enthusiasm of all the outside directors rushing to be the first, they seem to be afraid that if they are slow, they will miss something great.
Now it was Zhou Dongsheng's turn to be a little dumbfounded and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Did they misunderstand something?
I thought that I was just pretending to find a legitimate reason for doing charity, so how could I influence this group of profit-seeking investors?
Could it be that... I really have the aura of the protagonist and the bonus of my mouth escape ability?
How did you do so poorly in your previous life? Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but fall into self-doubt...
…
PS: Ahem, there are tens of thousands of people tomorrow, should I update it in 2 or 5? It seems that the latter will look more handsome...
