Finally, under Zhou Dongsheng's well-founded persuasion, Principal Wang agreed to participate in this good show out of integrity.
After all, it does sound interesting. For the already cynical Principal Wang, it is just a bet on "eating a flying horse". This is not the first time for him and he has long been used to it.
Ahem, of course this means that this is not the first time he has made this kind of bet, not that... you understand what I mean, right?
"No wonder you kid can start your career by relying on Internet celebrity media. I have to say that this trick is really for you to understand, and you know how to draw inferences from one example. This trick is not bad to use in the investment field..."
Principal Wang said in amazement, after all, the so-called capital's momentum building is nothing more than these routines, and now Zhou Dongsheng is obviously meant to get started.
"Hey, it actually doesn't matter whether I make money or not. I just think it's fun, but if you keep playing and playing until the end, you can always make money..." Zhou Dongsheng said shamelessly.
As soon as these words came out, they were naturally ridiculed by the other two people, but I have to say that these words were quite pleasing to Principal Wang.
After all, his business line has also followed such a path, from e-sports to live broadcasting to a pan-entertainment empire. Isn't it a clear interpretation of the saying "Interest is the best teacher"?
"But, since you are going to act, you have to do a complete set of the act. I will temporarily hold my shares on your behalf, so that I can be more realistic when I play the white face..."
No, not only did he recognize Zhou Dongsheng's ideas, Principal Wang also fully stepped into the role and began to make suggestions.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard this, "Hey, you are indeed Principal Wang. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have thought that if this was a mistake, wouldn't this bet be in vain?"
However, Chen Ou on the side couldn't help but smile knowingly, watching the two of them singing "Double Yellow" back and forth, but Chen Ou felt like Ming Jing in his heart.
Although this cooperation was originally led by Zhou Dongsheng, Principal Wang's words clearly stated his position.
Having Zhou Dongsheng hold the shares on his behalf does not mean that Zhou Dongsheng's shares in this project have already exceeded half and he has absolute dominance.
Even so, Chen Ou saw through it but did not tell him. After all, this is how business is. If this business really has enough prospects, he does not have to hang himself from this tree.
For him, this tentative cooperation is just a pawn in the shared power bank industry.
After all, whoever plays cards seriously will be beaten by the king when he comes up, how good his cards are!
As a result, the three of them looked at each other and smiled tacitly. In this atmosphere of ulterior motives, this brief meeting came to an end.
On the other side, Zhang Xiaoguang, who went to Pengcheng, could say that the acquisition of Jiedian was going smoothly. After all, since both parties were willing to do it and the price was very reasonable, there were naturally no setbacks.
Unless Cheng Yaojin suddenly appears in the middle and insists on staging a drama of fighting for love, otherwise everything will naturally fall into place.
Regardless of the current awkward situation in the shared power bank industry or the fact that Jiedian is not loved by his parents, the possibility of this variable is infinitely close to zero.
Coupled with the fact that the funds were secured in one step, under the leadership of Zhang Xiaoguang, the entire acquisition process was a smooth one.
In the end, the acquisition of 80% of Jiedian's shares was completed at a price of 160 million. Once the relevant handover of the share transfer with its parent company Haiyi Co., Ltd. is completed, absolute control of Jiedian will be achieved.
Since the establishment of Dongsheng Group, it has been attracting attention from all walks of life. After all, Zhou Dongsheng has emerged as a new force in the past two years, and he has become a leader of the new generation of young people.
Coupled with the staggering wealth growth rate and successful investment cases that have repeatedly won, with the blessing of these many halos, it is reasonable to receive much attention.
It is no exaggeration to say that with Zhou Dongsheng's current weight, he is already qualified to become a key factor affecting the investment strategies of certain institutions. It can be said that he has begun to take on celebrity effect.
Especially the uncharacteristic choice to enter the market through acquisitions, such a drastic move, can't help but stir up people's imagination and give rise to various interpretations.
Some people think that this is because Zhou Dongsheng has tasted the benefits of shared bicycles and has begun to make persistent efforts to bet on the shared power bank industry, hoping to continue to get a share of the sharing economy.
Some people are not optimistic about this decision and simply think that this is Zhou Dongsheng's overly confident behavior. However, no one can succeed all the time. This time Zhou Dongsheng will definitely fall because of it...
Guessing is speculation, interpretation is interpretation, but under the influence of Zhou Dongsheng, the shared power bank industry has still entered the eyes of many investment institutions.
And market research on this industry has become a topic for major institutions for a while. They also want to see what prospects and potential this industry has, and can Zhou Dongsheng be promoted?
For most institutions, what they have to do is never to be the first to eat crabs in the market. After all, the risk of doing so is too high.
Although the institution itself is engaged in venture capital, perhaps the thing that the institution hates most is risk itself. There is no contradiction between the two.
Therefore, they are often more willing to be the second or third person to enter the market, making full use of their capital advantages to compete for a share of the cake and forcefully take a piece of it.
This approach is undoubtedly more in line with the needs of the organization.
Under the constant attention of many institutions, the entire shared power bank industry seems to be calm, but in fact, undercurrents have begun to surge secretly.
However, when it comes to the ultimate issue of whether shared power banks are “real demand or false demand”, many institutions still hold a wait-and-see attitude and stay away, patiently waiting for the market to react.
Once it passes the test of the market, it will inevitably be a grand event like opening the gate to release floods. Just like the current shared bicycles, it has shown a trend of flooding and has begun to spread to the north and south of the country, even to overseas markets.
When Xiaohuangche takes the lead in launching its overseas strategy, it means that the battlefield for shared bicycles is no longer limited to this three-acre domestic territory.
Once even the overseas market is controlled by the small yellow bike, it will naturally be able to form an overwhelming advantage over other competitors like a dimensionality reduction attack. By then, this may become the winner or loser in the shared bicycle industry.
For this reason, even if other competitors want to follow suit, they are unable to do so due to their own limited strength.
But for Mobike, which is following closely behind, it is natural that it will not just watch the little yellow bikes take over the overseas market.
Mobike, one of the few competitors with the strength to follow up, immediately announced its strategy of entering overseas markets in a high-profile manner.
Although this move is not as effective as the little yellow car taking the first place, it is enough to slightly balance the arrogance of the little yellow car.
After all, in a marathon, being behind for a moment doesn't matter. What really determines the outcome is the final sprint.
Before that, it is enough to be able to follow the first echelon without falling behind. The rest is naturally to continue to accumulate strength and wait until the final sprint stage for a decisive battle.
However, the reason why the two dare to expand in such a drastic way is naturally because they have sufficient capital as their backing.
In fact, as we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, as time officially enters the prosperous Year of the Rooster, the bicycle-sharing fire has not only not weakened at all, but has been fueled by many well-known institutions.
More and more dazzling.
In the final analysis, the main reason why the two companies have spread the flames of war to overseas markets is because of the intervention of overseas capital. Without the help of overseas capital, even a dragon crossing the river will be unable to cope with the entanglement of local snakes.
Now, as the two families have launched another round of tit-for-tat competition, as usual, they have naturally begun to display their military strength.
The simplest and crudest way is of course to take out your arsenal for a walk and show off your heritage.
From the state down to corporate competition, these methods always lead to the same goal.
It is worth mentioning that Xiaohuangche took the lead in announcing in a high-profile manner that it had completed a D round of financing of nearly US$500 million, proudly showing off its strong muscles.
Taking a closer look at the list of institutions that participated in this round of financing, there are many well-known investment institutions at home and abroad, including many nationally recognized institutions. This is undoubtedly the confidence that Xiaohuangqi dares to take the lead.
And when financing reaches this level, no matter how unpredictable and arrogant Zhou Dongsheng is, the share he holds cannot escape the end of being diluted.
After all, when the little yellow car was just a small boat, Zhou Dongsheng could naturally occupy a place, but when it rose to an international giant ship that could sail across the ocean...
Zhou Dongsheng's position has also increased, and it has become a whole floor of cabins. However, similarly, on an international ship that is like a small city, there are inevitably more passengers.
In fact, before launching a new round of financing, Dai Wei naturally fully solicited the opinions of investors, and Zhou Dongsheng naturally expressed his approval with both hands and feet.
In this dilution process, investors who are the first to get on board actually have a choice. They can make additional investments to keep their shares from being diluted.
In the previous rounds of financing, Zhou Dongsheng did this. However, as the yellow car began to expand sharply this time, Zhou Dongsheng no longer chose to invest additionally, and even began to choose to reduce his holdings slightly to cash out part of the cash.
.
After all, when the little yellow cart reached this size, Zhou Dongsheng felt that the time was ripe enough to start harvesting, which was undoubtedly his original intention.
Especially as the sharing economy becomes more and more popular, the market becomes too fanatical and gradually begins to lose its rationality...
For Zhou Dongsheng, who has experienced the ups and downs of the stock market in 2015, this is naturally not unfamiliar.
Although it is still in the bull market stage of linear rise, the more the market rises, it means that the turning point from bull to bear is getting closer.
If you want to escape unscathed, you naturally cannot choose to ship when the turning point comes. Instead, you have to take advantage of the market frenzy and start to slowly cash out...
Regardless of whether it is a primary market or a secondary market, the most basic logic is always the same.
Compared with the luxurious team of the little yellow car, Mobike on the other side naturally did not give in. After Xiao Ma launched the face fruit, he forcibly created a luxurious team for Mobike, combining "
The words "Tengda Series" are firmly imprinted on Mobike bicycles.
However, compared to Xiaohuangche’s impressive D-round financing, Mobike is slightly inferior, having only reached a financing scale of US$250 million. The difference is not just a star and a half.
However, unlike the small yellow bike that has the final say, Mobike is a combination of tricks. After first releasing the news of US$250 million, it then officially announced a new round of strategic financing.
The specific amount has not been disclosed to the outside world, but this round of strategic financing was achieved by a well-known overseas capital, Temasek from Singapore.
Mobike’s first overseas stop is also in Singapore. With the support of such a local snake, Mobike’s overseas strategy will get off to a good start!
Zhou Dongsheng, who had invested a lot of effort in Mobike, also chose to reduce his holdings slightly and began to cash out in an orderly manner.
In Zhou Dongsheng's plan, he will use the entire year of 2017 to slowly harvest the wool from these two leaders, and retreat with all his strength when the turning point in 2018 arrives!
If you lose, just lose. Zhou Dongsheng is not greedy anyway.
Thanks to the entry of overseas capital, Zhou Dongsheng was even able to make a convenience and directly exchange the chips in his hands for green swords, which invisibly saved Zhou Dongsheng a lot of effort.
As for the wool collected by these two leaders, Zhou Dongsheng gave all his support to Lu Sifang. Seeing that the Bitcoin market had begun to break through the thousand-digit mark, Zhou Dongsheng naturally added as much as he could.
After all this back and forth, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but lament that he really didn't earn a penny and it was all "work in vain".
Well, bike sharing is in full swing, but sharing power banks, with the completion of the acquisition of Jiedian, this good show has obviously just begun.
Zhou Dongsheng estimated that the time was ripe, so he prepared the drama and prepared it to be officially staged.
For this reason, Zhou Dongsheng sent the message to Principal Wang, "Old Wang, it's time to start taking action. Please post it to Moments so I can take screenshots..."
The most real business wars often unfold in such an unpretentious way (funny).
After Principal Wang received the news, he didn't feel guilty at all. After all, seeing Zhou Dongsheng making a lot of money on shared bicycles, even Principal Wang was a little jealous.
If Zhou Dongsheng can replicate such a miracle, then let him lose a little.
As a result, a message titled "If shared power bank can be successful, I will win! Post it as proof!" appeared in Principal Wang's circle of friends. Principal Wang took the lead in the charge and sounded the clarion call for attack.
Principal Wang's circle of friends was undoubtedly a mixed bag, and for a while this circle of friends began to spread widely.
What's more, with the help of Zhou Dongsheng, a caring person, this circle of friends began to spread crazily on the Internet.
As time went by, the popularity became higher and higher. Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Zhou Dongsheng took out his mobile phone, happily edited a Weibo post and posted it.
"I made a bet with Principal Wang. I put my man's dignity on the line. If the project fails, it will be used for public welfare. If it succeeds...hehe."
Then I attached a screenshot of Principal Wang's circle of friends. For a while, this Weibo was like a fuse, completely detonating the popularity. The topic soared into the sky, directly reaching the top three hot searches.
Countless melon-eaters flocked to witness the birth of another "Bet of the Century".
