In the past year, Zhou Shi once again pretended to give 5% of Yahoo's shares to Galaxy Sixiang, and through some complex transactions, his charitable trust obtained the claims of Time into a form similar to preferred stock. The process was complicated, but the result was simple: Time Holdings' companies paid 1 to 5 percent of their revenue annually in the form of dividends or interest on bonds to Zhou Shi's charitable trusts and charitable foundations. There is no fixed term, maybe forever!

But even though Zhou Shi only has a 30% stake in Yahoo, he still became the world's richest man in 2018. This is because the mobile phone and tablet business of Guoke Company at this time has stabilized and has not been crushed in the competition of Apple's IPhone. Moreover, Guoke's accessories business, such as Harman's headphones, speakers, unmanned driving and drone business, has received more and more attention, and Mobileye and DJI's business revenue has soared in 2017! Even Guoke's notebook business is also performing better and better with the blessing of win10. It's not a product success, it's a brand success!

Guoke must have been known to the public because of smartphones at the beginning, but how to transform it into a brand driving force requires more effort. Starting with the popular Jackson and now all the stars, Guoke spends more than three times as much on advertising worldwide every year as Apple. In terms of design, there are more and more differences between the minimalist design of the husk and the apple, and the oriental elements, especially the oriental Taoist elements, are widely used in the products of the husk, forming a unique cultural mark.

The valuation of a branded enterprise and an unbranded enterprise is not the same. By 2018, the market value has exceeded 300 billion US dollars......

Thirty percent of stocks with a market value of $350 billion, nine percent of a market value of $300 billion, this is Zhou Shiming's assets, about $130 billion. surpassed Warren Buffett, Bill Gai and Mexican billionaires, and also surpassed Bezos, Bezos's shares in Amazon were greatly reduced because of Zhou Shi's joining, and there may be 12% of the shares, which basically do not have the conditions to challenge Zhou Shi, unless Amazon's market value exceeds one trillion or Yahoo, Guohu has failed. However, with applications with more than one billion users such as Yahoo Pass, Yahoo Search Email, and Toutiao, as well as Yahoo Pay financial services with great potential, Yahoo will not fail for at least five years. Therefore, it will be difficult for Bezos to challenge Zhou Shi's position as the richest man in the world for at least five years.

Some people always think that there are a lot of things hidden behind the world, and it is not wrong to think so, but it is a bit unrealistic to think that many people, especially the top rich, will hide it. Most of the wealth is concentrated in enterprises, and if there is no enterprise only cash, then there is no power, how can cash have a role? Should no one think that if you have money, you can do whatever you want, and you can pass it on for generations, right?

Although the financial market is very large, and the amount of money circulating every day is huge, most of the funds have a fixed purpose, just like the river water flows from the mountains to the ocean, rather than from the ocean to the mountains. Zhou Shi was able to intercept part of the river water from the flash flood by virtue of the prophetic advantage, but it was impossible to drain the entire big river, let alone the sea, and the greatest achievement was to take the initiative to form a tributary! The flash flood broke out, and many small ponds may be filled with water, but if there is no continuous water inflow, both ponds and lakes may dry up.

Aristocrats who only have cash and no power are like small ponds formed by accident, and there will always be a day when they dry up. Zhou Shi had to invest in high-tech even if he lost money, and his purpose was to build a strong umbrella for himself. It's like the chairman of Fu Tukang, who has millions of workers in the flower planter's family, as long as he doesn't rebel directly, he will be treated preferentially no matter where he is, after all, this social employment is too important for a country. The Women's Federation of Industry may be forced to take the path of robots, but for a country, once it completes such a transformation, the value of the enterprise will drop a lot. Well, this does not mean that the market value of the company will fall, the stock price and the market value of the company reflect the profitability of a company, but for a country or region, the market value of the company is difficult to reflect the role of the company in promoting the economy.

No one will refuse the title of the richest man in the world. He can greatly promote a person's popularity. If it is a little mysterious, it may even be related to a person's luck. The world's richest man is naturally able to bless credit, unless you think about a world-class rich man in Mexico, a fool knows that he has achieved his current achievements through unfair competition and monopoly advantages, and his wealth is not widely recognized, so it has no effect. And if you can occupy the position of the richest man in the world for a long time, the effect will be very prominent, such as Bill Gai, many people's first impression of him is the richest man in the world......

Fame and fortune should be the pursuit of most people in this world, Zhou Shi's wealth has reached the top of the world, chasing more wealth is too dangerous, even if you don't give up, you will artificially slow down. Then the pursuit of fame at this time is a natural choice. Fame and fortune are interchangeable to some extent, and "fame" can protect a person to a certain extent. Chelsea is Abu's effort to keep himself safe.

Zhou Shi's fame is actually big enough, at least anyone who pays more attention to technology and economy in the world knows that there is such a person as him. For example, his ace charity project, Ant Forest, has planted 80 million trees around the world so far, and has been praised by the United Nations.

The time version of Ant Forest is bound to WeChat Yahoo Pay, but it can generate energy through consumption and exercise. And it is not limited to Alipay, the speed of production has greatly increased, but because of the cultivation of seedlings, some tree species have to be juvenile, coupled with the staff, all kinds of realistic conditions, this has not made the planting scale of the ant forest more than 100 million. However, it is obvious that as time goes by, the more mature the team, and more and more people pay attention to and join the project, the expansion rate of Ant Forest will increase significantly.

On the road of chasing fame and fortune, Zhou Shi has gone far!
