After looking through the market research report done by Zhang Xiaoguang, Zhou Dongsheng had a little confidence in the current shared power bank market.
Just like before the shared bicycle fire was ignited, there were many public bicycles on the market, so the shared power bank did not appear out of thin air.
Among them, Zhang Xiaoguang's report mentioned that as far away as Pengcheng, a company established at the end of 2015 has begun exploring the field of shared power bank.
And relying on Pengcheng's unique electronic advantages, after a year and a half of development, the company has now become somewhat famous in Pengcheng, but it has not yet received the attention of capital.
Without the intervention of capital as a catalyst, if you just rely on a step-by-step and steady business model to expand, you will obviously have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to capture the market.
However, as shared bicycles become a blockbuster and completely revitalize the sharing economy, this company is the first to enter the market. It is obviously only a matter of time before the entrepreneurs who are competing in the field of shared power banks are noticed by capital.
Isn’t this already being targeted by Zhou Dongsheng?
Of course, although the shared power bank industry has not completely exploded, there is no shortage of adventurous entrepreneurs in the world, so naturally there cannot be only one company like this in this industry.
But purely in terms of scale, other companies obviously cannot compare with this one, and this company also has a familiar and catchy name.
Street electricity!
To a certain extent, this concise and concise name is simply the best interpretation of the shared power bank. It is like the finishing touch, enough to make people remember the positioning and use of this product at once.
A good name that can catch the user's attention in the first impression and create a memory point will undoubtedly make starting a business more effective with half the effort.
Of course, you need to be strong in order to make iron. If it is just a superficial appearance, then it is just gold and jade on the outside, and it is of no use.
As a pioneer in shared power banks, Jiedian naturally has its own technology accumulation and is not the kind of entrepreneur who just relies on PPT to fool investors.
Its market share in the three-thirds of an acre of land in Pengcheng is the best proof.
Compared with the shared bicycle field, which has begun to blossom everywhere and form a situation of two superpowers and multiple strong players, the shared power bank is still a situation where there are only two or three kittens.
It is obviously still far from the "bad street" situation that Zhou Dongsheng is familiar with. It is obvious that there is not enough firewood, and a small flame alone is not enough to start a prairie fire.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng's thinking suddenly became clear. If this is the case, isn't it difficult to handle it?
Fanning people to light fires is my specialty!
Especially as an investor who successfully bet on two unicorns, Mobike and Xiaohuangche, this resume alone is enough to make Zhou Dongsheng a trend-setter in the sharing economy.
As long as Zhou Dongsheng enters the market to carry the sedan chair, other investors will have to weigh the importance of this project.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng's achievements may not be worth mentioning individually, but looking at them all together is quite bluffing!
This kind of investment geek who came from a wild background and managed to make a name for himself has put countless professionals to shame. He really doesn't play by the rules.
This investment philosophy of a hammer in the east and a stick in the west seems disorganized at first glance. I didn’t expect to integrate it into one, but it actually has its own context. The establishment of Dongsheng Group is a clear example.
Therefore, with the sudden rise of Zhou Dongsheng, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching Zhou Dongsheng's every move behind the scenes.
Zhou Dongsheng naturally didn't know about this. After closing the market research report, Zhou Dongsheng said with a smile.
"Right now, the sharing economy is preceded by taxis and followed by bicycles. It is at its peak, but everyone's focus is on the head. The first person to take advantage of the shared power bank industry has not yet appeared..."
"In this case, let's set an example for our peers. Let's eat this crab. Let's organize the A round of financing for Jiedian."
Zhou Dongsheng said calmly, and the courage he showed unintentionally made Zhang Xiaoguang feel awe in his heart.
This is the charm of "money can lead to gods". When you have tens of billions of net worth, no matter how crooked you look, others will not only not judge people by their appearance, but will also be in awe of you...
"I understand Chairman, I will go to Pengcheng to discuss it in person!" Zhang Xiaoguang would not miss such a good opportunity to make contributions and said immediately.
Zhou Dongsheng nodded and waved casually, and Zhang Xiaoguang walked out of the office in high spirits and excitedly.
At the same time, Zhou Dongsheng touched his chin and continued to think in his heart. Since he wanted to enter the venue to lift the sedan, it was almost pointless to do it by himself. After all, it was said that the sedan was lifted, so which one would carry the sedan alone.
As the saying goes, it's hard to make a fire alone. If you want to get the fire burning as soon as possible, anyone with extensive experience in burning firewood will know that it's not enough to just add firewood...
And with Zhou Dongsheng's current network of contacts, the fruit of face has tended to be a success. It is naturally not a problem to build a game, it's just this choice.
Zhou Dongsheng suddenly became more playful, wondering if the existence of his own variable had changed Principal Wang's stereotype of shared power banks?
Thinking of this problem, Zhou Dongsheng immediately had the urge to verify it. He immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call, just to find the real owner directly for verification.
"Hey, I'm a rare visitor, have you returned to the Magic City? You actually have the time to find me..." The call was quickly connected, and Principal Wang's familiar tone sounded on the other end.
"I just came back not long ago, and I'm already looking forward to 2017. The plan for this year is spring. I don't know how to give my business a good start..."
"After all, we now have a big family and a big business, and there are thousands of people pointing at me to eat..." Zhou Dongsheng wrote lightly and pretended to be cool, which made Principal Wang feel chills.
But for Zhou Dongsheng, Principal Wang really has no temper at all. After all, he not only benefited from Zhou Dongsheng, but also made a lot of money. Just playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, a rooster that lays golden eggs, has already benefited Principal Wang a lot.
.
What's more, none of the things that I am proud of can stand up to Zhou Dongsheng today, except for being a good father...
Of course, as friends, you can make harmless jokes, but if you want to rub salt into the wound, you can naturally not tell them without telling them. Principal Wang still has this sense of propriety.
"The first lunar month has not even passed yet, and you already have ideas about this chicken head?" Principal Wang teased angrily, and Zhou Dongsheng aroused a little curiosity in his heart.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is not a careless person, so he wouldn't have come to him specifically for entertainment, right?
"Isn't the sharing economy booming? Do you remember the shared power bank we talked about before?" Zhou Dongsheng mentioned casually, wanting to see what Principal Wang thought.
"That's it. Of course I remember it. I still think this thing is just a fake demand. Even if it takes advantage of the sharing economy, it may not achieve anything..." Principal Wang said disapprovingly.
"Well, since you're not optimistic about it, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll look for other investors. I believe there are always people who are optimistic about the prospects of this thing..." Zhou Dongsheng took retreat as an option.
"Oh? Are you going to make this your first investment of the year? Although I personally am still not optimistic about the market demand for this thing, investment is sometimes anti-human..."
Principal Wang changed the subject and continued: "Especially you, a boy who is very evil. You always feel that you can't lose money on the project you like. How about I reluctantly follow it? Anyway, the handicap is not that big.
go……"
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud at this unflattering look, and then he moved in his heart and continued: "The entire industry has not yet had the first person to take advantage of it, and the scale of this Series A financing is only tens of millions..."
"
"If you can't even reach a small goal, it's not worth mentioning to you, Principal Wang. However, you need to make a small sacrifice..."
Before Zhou Dongsheng finished speaking, Principal Wang on the other end of the phone reacted fiercely and said immediately.
"I know it! You are such a bad boy. You must not be holding back anything good when you come to me. Tell me, how do you want to use me as a gun user..."
Zhou Dongsheng chuckled and saw that under the influence of his own variable, the famous "Chixiang" poisonous milk was about to disappear...
As we have said, if you want a fire to burn vigorously, you can't just add firewood, you also need to be able to blow it!
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng's idea is very simple. Naturally, he is preparing to recreate this famous scene. With his current ability, he can spread this famous scene even wider.
You just need to create a scene. It doesn't matter whether the incident is just a rumor or a real thing. As long as it meets the elements that the public likes to hear and see, it is enough.
After all, what the general public needs is often not the truth, but the truth they want to see.
Now Zhou Dongsheng felt that he had scratched the surface of how to manipulate people's hearts, but Zhou Dongsheng did not point out this to Principal Wang directly.
After all, it is still too difficult to talk about directly asking others to eat Xiang. It is better to wait until the deal is done.
"This is not important, as long as you can make money, you will know when the time comes..." Zhou Dongsheng explained it vaguely.
Principal Wang heard this and said no more, "Sure, as long as it doesn't violate my principles, in principle, I can agree to it. Come out and have a chat when you have time in the evening. The New Year is suffocating me to death..."
Zhou Dongsheng also smiled knowingly when he heard this, made a few jokes and hung up the phone. Then he thought about it and made another call.
"Hey, I'm a stranger, why did Jay Chou remember to call me..." A voice that was once well-known came from the other end of the phone.
Zhou Dongsheng twitched his lips, why can't he change his greeting, and then continued: "Isn't this the last time I said goodbye to Mr. Chen? I haven't had the opportunity to discuss the future of the shared power bank industry with Mr. Chen. It's really quite...
Sorry..."
"No, we can only come directly to the door."
Speaking of this, the identity of the opposite person is naturally obvious, that is Chen Ou, the salt-and-pepper brother who once became popular all over the country by endorsing himself.
Previously at the Super Red Man Festival, the two had an in-depth discussion on the future of the sharing economy, and both expressed their optimism about the prospects of shared power banks.
Now, less than half a year has passed since he was fully prepared. Chen Ou is still the same Chen Ou, but Zhou Dongsheng is no longer Wu Xia Ameng. His growth rate is so fast that Chen Ou is really impressed.
When Zhou Dongsheng mentioned "shared power bank", Chen Ou couldn't help but get shocked. After all, this direction has been the focus of his recent attention.
I even plan to go to Pengcheng in person to investigate the reasons why shared power bank can develop rapidly in the local area and see if this model has the possibility of rapid replication and spread...
After all, Jumei Youpin has already shown signs of fatigue on the e-commerce track. Under the influence of the Matthew Effect, falling behind seems to have become a foregone conclusion, and the situation will only become more and more difficult...
Naturally, a living person will not suffocate to death. If you are poor, you will want to change. Naturally, Chen Ou is also trying every means to find a new track. The sharing economy, which is currently popular, is undoubtedly a good choice.
And looking at Zhou Dongsheng, who is rising as fast as the rising sun, Chen Ou seems to have seen his once high-spirited self, but now, life at Jumei Youpin is indeed difficult.
Two years ago, he was the youngest CEO of a listed company in the 220-year history of the New York Stock Exchange.
Now, in less than two years, Jumei Youpin's market value has shrunk by more than 90% from its highest point, from $22 per share to less than single digits...
For this reason, although Chen Ou has made many big moves, he even announced a cross-border entry into the film and television industry, and made bold promises in three years to build the most influential beauty management company in the country.
However, it obviously failed to stop the plummeting market value of Jumei Youpin, so Chen Ou was also eager to find a turning point to revitalize the overall situation.
Even Zhou Dongsheng is so optimistic about the direction of "sharing power bank". Maybe it is really feasible? Thinking of this, Chen Ou's inner thoughts couldn't help but become more active.
"Last time, I hit it off with Jay Chou on a shared power bank. It really made me feel that we met so late..." Chen Ou also followed up with a few polite words, and then changed the topic back to the topic.
"Now that Director Jay Chou has brought up old matters again, are you ready for a big fight?" Chen Ou asked tentatively.
"Nowadays, shared bicycles have begun to run wild, and the fire of the sharing economy has been ignited. It is obviously difficult to support one shared bicycle alone. The entire market is looking for the next outlet of the sharing economy..."
"I was lucky enough to invest in Xiaohuangche and Mobike, and I gained a lot, so I naturally want to continue my efforts in the direction of the sharing economy..."
"Compared to flashy and advanced concepts like shared cars, I am more optimistic about small and beautiful shared power banks."
Zhou Dongsheng said in a serious manner, but Chen Ou, who had preconceived ideas, listened and couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Oh? But many people have disputes about whether shared power bank is a false demand or a real demand. In addition, the public is generally not optimistic about this kind of product with extremely low unit price and low consumption frequency..."
Zhou Dongsheng said nonchalantly.
"The product is not the focus, the sexy thing is the deposit..."
