Listening to these paradoxical words coming from Zhou Dongsheng's mouth, Mr. Duan couldn't help but think about it, with a slightly surprised look on his face.
However, thinking about Zhou Dongsheng's "achievements" in the investment field now, it is true that we cannot look at him with the usual eyes.
Although Zhou Dongsheng is now younger than Huang Zheng back then, his achievements today have far surpassed Huang Zheng's.
Being able to control a business empire with more than 10 billion in wealth at this age, no matter in any field, they are definitely among the small group of people who stand at the top of the pyramid with amazing talents.
And this speed of grabbing wealth is indeed only possible in the crazy capital market.
From this perspective, an investor like Zhou Dongsheng, who is purely a mud-legged investor, can definitely be regarded as one of the best investment geniuses in the investment field.
Therefore, in terms of investment philosophy, it is naturally impossible to follow the rules, nor can it be simply defined as a "value investment" school or a "growth investment" school.
He is more like a neutral speculator who sits on the fence. As long as there is profit, he will fall to that side.
As long as it's profitable, it doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat. The one that can catch mice is a good cat!
I have to say that this pure profit-seeking concept may be the essence of investment.
Thinking of this, Mr. Duan couldn't help but feel a little interested, and wanted to have a more in-depth exchange of investment ideas with Zhou Dongsheng.
As a professional who has been in the investment field for many years, the name of "Eastern Buffett" is certainly not in vain.
Since "retiring" at the age of 40, stock trading has become the main theme of Duan Yongping's retirement life. He started by buying pig factory stocks at the bottom, whether it was Apple or Tenda.
Behind these leading stocks in the stock market, there are basically active figures. After so many years of accumulation, even the amount of wealth he controls has become a mystery in the investment field.
But there is no doubt that this is an astronomical figure. After all, the snowball effect of wealth accumulation tends to get bigger and bigger. As long as there is no "black swan" event, the market usually follows this rule.
"So, you are personally very optimistic about the future of this digital currency? Tell us what you think." Mr. Duan asked the question with great interest.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally doesn’t want to give in too much. After knowing the general direction of Bitcoin in the future, he doesn’t care what kind of “gods and heresies” he says.
With the support of future facts, this "fallacy" will also become a golden rule.
After all, theoretically speaking, as long as the stock you buy keeps rising, the market trend will sooner or later push you to the heights of the "stock god".
Facts are always more convincing than theories.
"Just like in the traditional financial industry, something valuable is needed as an anchor for reference. In addition to the national credit endorsement behind it, the value of currency is also a major anchor."
"This logic also applies to digital currency. As a new virtual currency, the value brought by its pioneering blockchain technology is far higher than the digital currency itself."
"It can be said that digital currency is just one of the derivative products brought by blockchain technology. After understanding this technology, it is easy to create a new type of digital currency."
“However, just as gold is unique, in the field of digital currency, the limited number of Bitcoins will also become the unique anchor.”
"In the future, various digital currencies may emerge in endlessly, but Bitcoin, like gold in the field of digital currencies, is unique and irreplaceable. This scarcity is a huge value."
"And on the basis of decentralization, the wealth storage role that this limited digital asset can play also has enough potential to be developed."
"The market may be slow and conservative in accepting new things, but sooner or later more and more investors will realize this and join this carnival."
"Just like the Internet bubble at the beginning of the Internet industry, digital currency will inevitably make a grand debut."
"No supervision, free circulation, limited quantity... Isn't this the fertile ground that capital most dreams of?"
Zhou Dongsheng spoke eloquently and eloquently, and the confidence in his words was inadvertently revealed, as if what he said would inevitably become reality.
This kind of unequivocal self-confidence is quite contagious and is also indispensable for those who achieve success. If you don’t even believe that what you say will become a reality...
Then who do you expect to be able to convince?
Of course, the experienced Duan Yongping was not someone Zhou Dongsheng could deceive with a few words. However, Zhou Dongsheng naturally had his own purpose for spending so much effort.
Especially after this overseas trip, Zhou Dongsheng discovered that although he knew very little about overseas capital markets, there were still a few stocks that were uniquely scarce.
Buying at this point in time is basically a guaranteed profit, even for a behemoth like Apple.
After all, the current market value of Apple is just over US$600 billion, and it is still a long way from becoming the world's first technology giant to exceed US$1 trillion.
Not to mention there are new energy companies such as Tesla, which is also a major direction of future investment.
Whether it is the US stock market or the domestic market, there is great potential. After all, energy is the blood of modern industry, and the competition that breaks out in this field is often a fight between gods at the national level.
Once it rises to the national level, the interests involved are not of the same magnitude at all...
For Zhou Dongsheng, the entire market is just like gold everywhere. The only thing that needs to be considered is the choice. After all, he cannot eat or digest it on his own.
Therefore, if you want to eat more pieces of cake, how to rationally use external capital to enjoy the gains is obviously a technical job.
In the past, Principal Wang and others once joked that with Zhou Dongsheng's investment talent, he was born to be involved in private equity, judging from the investment records he created.
As long as he is willing to open his mouth, there will definitely not be a handful of investment institutions willing to spend money to try on Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, in the investment field, "people" is also a popular investment project. Look at Zhou Dongsheng from the perspective of looking at projects.
Many investment projects in the past have undoubtedly achieved outstanding performance. This performance alone is enough to win considerable valuations in the market, and it is naturally not difficult to raise funds.
In the past, Zhou Dongsheng laughed it off. Knowing how much he weighed, Zhou Dongsheng naturally did not dare to act rashly.
Greed is not enough, and snakes swallow elephants. Although investment is risky, the money from investment institutions is definitely not that easy to get. If you don't eat the mutton and end up in a mess, it won't be worth the loss.
However, as his horizons grew, Zhou Dongsheng felt that this matter was not impossible.
At least, there is absolutely no problem in starting with the people around you. As the saying goes, the wealth should not flow to others and benefit others. It is better to use this part of the "fat water" that you cannot digest to manage your connections.
By the way, you can also benefit from it, which can be said to be a multi-purpose achievement.
Especially this overseas trip, visiting overseas markets in person, and facing those familiar or unfamiliar words once again triggered Zhou Dongsheng's limited memory.
Although I have a dark eye on the U.S. stock market, my little knowledge is enough to get considerable returns.
After listening to Zhou Dongsheng's insights, Mr. Duan couldn't help but ponder for a moment, even though this logic was completely contrary to his own value investment philosophy.
But Mr. Duan also has to admit that this set of views itself can be logically justified. At least the argument is tenable. As for whether it can withstand the test of the market...
That will naturally have to be tested by time, but it has to be said that after hearing these words, Mr. Duan, who stayed away from "speculation", also developed a slight interest in the so-called blockchain.
"In this way, it does make some sense. As long as it can be recognized by the market and build consensus, it can indeed bring certain value to it."
"It's just that the market's confidence is not as stable as national credit. It often rises and falls, is elusive, and difficult to withstand testing..."
Mr. Duan couldn't help but sigh, and then changed the subject, "How high are your expectations for the future of Bitcoin?"
No matter how fanciful the theory is, it must be implemented into practice in the end. Instead of listening to what Zhou Dongsheng says, it is better to watch how he does it.
Mr. Duan also wanted to see the courage of this young man...
"Ahem, I'm a little thirsty. Why don't you tell me, Mr. Lu?" Speaking of this, Zhou Dongsheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
The old god picked up the tea and drank it slowly. Although he was in a foreign country, the tea that Mr. Duan brought to greet the guests was naturally not one to give in to.
What's more, it was made by the mistress. After Zhou Dongsheng finished drinking it, he exclaimed, "Good tea!"
Liu Xin, who was sitting on the side, smiled slightly, and then looked at Lu Sifang, who was on the side. After listening to Zhou Dongsheng's words, she was also a little curious.
Does this digital currency really have that much potential?
Seeing that his boss gave him the opportunity to speak, Lu Sifang was also a little excited. After all, what he saw in front of him was a living Buddha.
"The first major project of the overseas investment team we have established is to build a position in Bitcoin. The initial investment is expected to be US$100 million. Currently, one-third of the capital investment has been completed, at a cost price of nearly US$650.
Completed position building..."
"According to the current trend, the final cost of opening a position may remain around US$700, and today's Bitcoin market value is US$749.79..."
Lu Sifang explained the situation concisely, and Mr. Duan nodded calmly.
One hundred million US dollars is not a big deal for him, but for Zhou Dongsheng, it is definitely not a small deal.
This shows that what Zhou Dongsheng said is true, and he has indeed verified his theory with his own practice.
"If I say that my future expectations for Bitcoin exceed tens of thousands of dollars, I wonder if Mr. Duan will think that I am a lunatic?" Zhou Dongsheng said suddenly.
"An investment that may bring dozens of times of return? It sounds very tempting..." Mr. Duan didn't look surprised at all, but sighed with emotion.
Then he said to Zhou Dongsheng with a half-smile: "What? You still want to test the endurance of an old man like me? Are you looking down on me so much?"
"Before the results are announced and verified, the vast majority of practitioners will inevitably become what others call crazy..."
“Before I founded Xiaobawang and turned the factory around from losses to profits, many people thought it was impossible.”
"And when I left the little overlord brand that I started from scratch and turned into a small overlord brand with an annual output value of more than 1 billion, many people also thought I was crazy."
Although a good man does not mention his former bravery, when he said it from Duan Lao's mouth, it didn't sound like he was showing off, it seemed like he was just recalling a past event.
"I, an old man, don't know whether you are crazy or not, but I understand one thing. The future belongs to young people. My future has been set, but you are still an unknown..."
"Until now, I don't know where your end is, and I'm also very curious about how high I can see you reach in my lifetime."
"Perhaps this is another great joy of life after reaching my age. After watching stocks for most of my life, I still feel that people are the most interesting potential stocks..."
Duan Lao said cheerfully. When it comes to this, there is no need to say more. The rest will be verified by time.
Anyway, in the final analysis, it still depends on the reaction of the market. After all, ideals are always full, but reality is extremely skinny. If market consensus cannot be gathered...
Those beautiful imaginations in Zhou Dongsheng's mouth will eventually turn into castles in the air.
Mr. Duan is not in a hurry, and Zhou Dongsheng is even less likely to be in a hurry. Quan should plant a seed in Mr. Duan's heart first, but it's all here, if he doesn't "beg for alms"...
Aren't you sorry for all your eloquent talk? At least you have to pass it off, right?
"Ahem, since you have said so, Mr. Duan, I wonder if you have any idle funds that you can lend me for emergency purposes. You also know my situation. Basically, it is only one-third of an acre in the country...
"
"The bargaining chips in the overseas market still rely on the overseas revenue of the game I own, but after all, this game is not entirely mine. I also have to consider the opinions of other shareholders..."
"So you..." Zhou Dongsheng rubbed his fingers like a fly rubbing his hands, and his intention to beg for alms was obvious.
Duan Yongping couldn't help but burst into laughter. He just called him a good guy. Not only was he not "happy" to have a friend come from afar, but there was a burglar at home?
"Oh? What you mean is that you want me to be your LP. Your kid is planning to develop in the direction of private equity. But judging from your kid's performance, there are probably many institutions willing to provide you with money..."
LP is naturally not the abbreviation of wife, but the abbreviation of the investor's identity, and Zhou Dongsheng's identity is GP, the abbreviation of the manager who manages the investor's capital.
To put it simply, there is one person who contributes money and another person who manages the money. The person who contributes money gets interest and the person who manages money gets management fees. This is basically the basic logic of the operation of private equity institutions.
Compared with public funds, which have basically no threshold and can be purchased by everyone, the threshold for private equity institutions is undoubtedly many times higher.
After all, truly profitable businesses are often divided up secretly before the public knows anything about them, and by the time everyone knows about them...
This is probably when the funds from all parties are ready to carry the sedan chair and let retail investors come in to take over the orders at a high level.
