No matter what happens, no matter how fierce the competition between the two shared bicycles is, to a certain extent, the biggest beneficiary is still Zhou Dongsheng, who is firmly in Diaoyutai.
After all, as an early investor in the two major shared bicycles, he was also the only one standing on the fence, and he still had cheap chips when he entered the game at a low position.
Looking back at the time when Zhou Dongsheng only obtained two rounds of financing with a million US dollars, it has only been a year and a half now, and he has already completed returns hundreds of times.
Although in the subsequent expansion of financing, in order to ensure that his share was not greatly diluted, Zhou Dongsheng also made additional investments.
Even so, the advantage of being an early investor is still very obvious, that is, the cost of chips in hand is far lower than that of latecomers.
This is undoubtedly the unique charm of the primary market. Compared with the ever-changing situation in the stock market, there is a mixture of good and bad, ranging from large investment institutions to low-key retail investors.
Despite this, the stock market is open and transparent to a certain extent... ahem, the most important thing is that the investment threshold is extremely low, allowing many leeks to experience the addiction of investors.
In contrast, the natural threshold of the primary market is enough to deter countless people. After all, the entry threshold often starts at one million, which is destined to be a game for a few people.
On this card table in the primary market, the threshold is one thing, but getting on the table is another matter. There may be no shortage of gamblers who have lost all their money in the stock market, and they vividly interpret "stud is a kind of wisdom".
But in the primary market, this approach is obviously not feasible. Even if you want to stud, you may not be able to find a way.
After all, the primary market is a two-way selection process. The relationship between investors and entrepreneurs is clear and relatively equal, and in principle they do not interfere with each other.
To start a business, you need to be both a father and a mother. Naturally, investing is to sit back and enjoy the results. If you still have to work hard after investing money, what is the difference between starting your own business?
Of course, in order to protect the interests of investors, it is natural to take some necessary measures. This depends on the three chapters of the agreement between the two parties.
This kind of three-chapter agreement often does not need to be disclosed to the outside world. The relevant details are all analyzed and brainstormed by outsiders. Often only the parties involved will understand the details. This is also one of the differences between the primary market and the secondary market.
The weight of the so-called "fame and wealth" is undoubtedly more obvious in the primary market, and the former is even more important than the latter.
As for Zhou Dongsheng today, he has achieved both fame and fortune in the true sense and has become a rapidly rising upstart in the primary market, attracting the attention of many people.
In the eyes of many people, Zhou Dongsheng's investment path is undoubtedly the true interpretation of the word "miracle". It only lasted two years and there were only a few investment projects, but without exception, they all accurately captured the context of the times.
For investors, as long as one investment can successfully stay ahead of the trend of the times, it is enough capital to brag to outsiders for most of their lives.
"Did you see that pig on the wind outlet? I blew it up!"
In addition, investors can undoubtedly obtain sufficient returns from it. Gaining both fame and fortune is completely trivial.
However, in the hands of Zhou Dongsheng, such a feat has the taste of being countless. Others are investors, but he is almost turning into a wholesaler.
The pigs in the spotlight are as if they were raised by him, one after another, and each one is worth a lot of money, which is really the envy of others.
Envy is envy, but its investment strategy of using a hammer in the east and a stick in the west is indeed difficult to imitate and cannot be replicated.
After all, looking at Zhou Dongsheng's business landscape today, he started to accumulate strong capital from Internet celebrity media, invested in the game industry for the first time, and created a blockbuster top IP that is popular around the world!
Even the top domestic game companies such as Goose Factory and Pig Factory are flocking to this game IP. After all, the value of such a phenomenal game is no less than a gold mine, and it is still a rich mine with abundant reserves.
.
Zhou Dongsheng, who holds a gold mine in his hands, has used this to start a meteoric rise, and has successively tried to invest in short videos, e-commerce and other fields.
With the rapid rise of Douyin and Pinxixi, and their recognition by giants such as Tenda, Zhou Dongsheng's ability is once again proved to be anything but luck or luck.
But real “strength”!
At this time, the general public suddenly realized that it was not Zhou Dongsheng who was able to dig the gold mine because of his bad luck, but that he did possess unique surveying skills.
Since then, the rapid rise of the two major shared bicycles has become a strong evidence for this statement. After all, one can only do one but not the other. How can there be such a lucky person in the world?
Ordinary people may still not believe in evil, but investment institutions that pursue profits and avoid risks to the extreme have already chosen to follow the trend in secret, and they can eat soup without eating meat.
After all, the huge capital market is bustling with people. The scariest thing is not funds, but chips. To be precise, they should be chips to make money.
Compared with poor people, institutions or individuals with strong capital are sometimes the ones who are more anxious.
After all, a person who is poor may still be able to live happily and debt-free. On the contrary, if an institution with strong capital cannot let the funds flow, it will be equivalent to losing money all the time.
Especially watching your peers make money, isn't it more uncomfortable than losing money yourself?
Maybe there are no retail investors in the world, or in other words, everyone is a retail investor (funny).
When Zhou Dongsheng's ability to make money became a fact that was obvious to all, he naturally became a bellwether in the eyes of some people.
And as more and more facts emerge as supporting evidence, the status and weight of this weather vane will also rise linearly.
At this point, even one or two ordinary mistakes in investment decisions will not easily shake Zhou Dongsheng's status in the world. On the contrary, it will make people think that this is human nature.
If a person never makes mistakes, there is generally only one possibility, and that is to die young and bid farewell to the stage before he has time to make mistakes.
Even for Warren Buffett, who is regarded as the God of Stocks, his investment path is not always smooth, but as long as profits always precede losses, he will be invincible.
As for the profits you make will always be more than your losses, theoretically if you live long enough, you will have the opportunity to become a priest.
And now Zhou Dongsheng is only in his early twenties. Even if he has great talent, in the eyes of most people, it is just that he has not made a mistake yet, and it is not too outrageous.
And when Zhou Dongsheng scored twice again, after making two investments in the field of shared bicycles, he once again chose to spend a lot of money in the sharing economy sector and clicked on two projects.
And this time it was even more ambitious than before. While directly acquiring a project, it also engaged in angel investment and invested in an additional entrepreneurial team.
While taking a two-pronged approach, they are undoubtedly very optimistic about the prospect of shared power banks, and they even made a "bet of the century" with Principal Wang in the public opinion arena.
Gambling gimmicks like this have always been one of the most popular dramas for the general public, so naturally they have never gone out of style.
Before this, this kind of bet was considered an exclusive treatment for big bosses. The previous industry bets between big bosses such as Lao Wang, Hangcheng Ma, Lei Jun, Miss Dong, etc. were undoubtedly well known to everyone.
After all, these big guys are all well-known industry leaders. Naturally, they themselves are very aware of this truth, and the simple and crude way of "betting" is undoubtedly a way to cash in on their fame.
Otherwise, it is obviously impossible for these industry giants to make a private bet to the point where everyone knows about it.
Even if he can protect his own children, how can he still be unable to protect a mere bet?
Of course, the bet involves betting, so it may not be appropriate to disclose it to the outside world. After all, the big guys are spending their money on playing in private...
I don’t know if others have anything to say, but Brother Dong definitely has something to say.
Ahem, this kind of drama where the big guys bet has become commonplace for the general public.
At the same time, the structure and status of the big guys also determine that the scope of content involved in gambling is often a topic that is difficult for the general public to access.
For example, frivolous content such as industry prospects and future are undoubtedly too far away from public life.
However, Zhou Dongsheng and Principal Wang are undoubtedly young leaders who have attracted much attention in the field of public opinion in recent years.
At the same time, the huge difference in status between a self-made grassroots model and the son of a rich man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth has undoubtedly added a lot of topicality to the bet itself.
In addition, the content of the bet between the two is another seemingly ordinary product, but it is a commonplace product in the lives of ordinary people - power bank.
Even if the word "sharing" is added to the prefix, this product has the same positioning as shared bicycles. It is completely impossible to put the cart before the horse and push the product positioning to the point where users feel that it is unattainable.
Therefore, to sum up, the content of this bet is not a castle in the air, but is very down-to-earth and deeply embedded in the lives of ordinary people.
Therefore, the attention and discussion about the bet itself has naturally increased, and the enthusiasm of the general public has reached an all-time high.
After all, strictly speaking, this is one of the few projects that they can participate in, and the success or failure of the project is also related to their lives.
This may be the difference between daily necessities and luxury goods.
To this day, even though some time has passed since the bet was made, the public's enthusiasm is still increasing instead of decreasing, and they are still synchronizing their discoveries on the Internet from time to time.
Especially with the in-depth cooperative relationship between Jiedian and Yida Plaza, they have the geographical advantage of being backed by Pengcheng, a complete electronics supply chain.
In addition, Anke Technology still holds 20% of the shares. As one of the leaders that has been working in the power bank industry for many years, it can undoubtedly provide a lot of help in terms of production.
As long as the money is in place, everything will be easy. Even if they have spent huge sums of money to acquire Jiedian, nearly one-third of the start-up capital that each of the three people had set out for a small target is still left.
It is naturally more than enough to be used as the first stage of production funds.
Therefore, after the integration of street electronics was completed, it immediately turned on full power, turned on full-power production mode, and began to quickly occupy the offline market with lightning speed.
Taking Yida Plaza, which is almost all over the country's major cities, as the starting point and gradually cannibalizing surrounding merchants as the main strategy, the rest is nothing more than using time to build scale.
Only by forming scale, occupying a large part of the market, and gradually forming its own industry barriers can we further have the right to speak in the industry.
This step-by-step process, even with the help of capital, can only be accelerated but cannot be skipped directly.
Unless it is a high-precision industry that naturally has prohibitive technical barriers, such as photolithography machines, it will be difficult to stop latecomers.
And as Jiedian began to expand offline, the heat and traffic that had been accumulated online for a long time also spread to offline like a bursting dam.
However, in just a few months, many Yida Plazas have added brand-new charging cabinets one after another. The multi-machine design allows each cabinet to accommodate twelve power banks.
The lightweight design undoubtedly provides a lot of convenience for the expansion of street power. As for the cost, it seems that each charging cabinet costs hundreds of yuan, but on average, the cost of each power bank is less than a hundred yuan.
And after entering mass production, the cost can be further compressed. Compared with shared bicycles, its cost is far lower than the small yellow bicycles that are famous for their low cost.
Not to mention Mobike, and you have to know that each charging cabinet has eight power banks. The number of users it can satisfy and the ability to attract new people are undoubtedly the sexy aspects of this project itself.
In particular, deposits, the core technology of the sharing economy, suddenly began to emerge under such circumstances.
If before this, the general public may still have concerns about deposits and safety issues, then with the expansion of the territory of the two shared bicycles, the wariness of the general public has already been infinitely close to zero.
You may even subconsciously feel that the deposit itself is very reasonable. After all, other people’s products are safe for you to use, so what’s wrong with charging you a small deposit?
There is no doubt that with the popularity of the sharing economy, this kind of user trust has laid a solid foundation invisibly. This is the way those who have planted trees are those who will enjoy the shade.
As long as no one is the first to break this tacit understanding, then this trust will naturally continue.
However, just as overdraft consumption can be addictive, overdrafting users' trust is also a temptation in itself, especially when you are at the forefront of the times.
It is easy to have the illusion that all success is due to one's personal abilities, thus ignoring the favor of the general trend of the times, user trust and so on...
It's all nonsense about the right time and place, as long as people are strong (funny).
Once you fall into this situation, the outcome is undoubtedly brewing secretly.
Just like the popular saying, "The gift of fate has already been marked with a price in secret."
According to the old saying, it is something that has its own destiny.
Ahem, I went back to visit my father-in-law and donated some blood. The doctor said that he would probably have another three months. I didn’t know for a moment whether this book would be finished first or my father-in-law would leave first. Huh...
