Chapter 853: Interview (I)
"Haha, our toilet hero is back!" Guo Guangchang
"What toilet hero?" Zhou Shi wondered, no one would give him such a frustrating nickname, this is too worrying.
"If you donate 100,000 toilets, aren't you India's toilet hero?" Guo Guangchang
Zhou Shi wanted to donate 100,000 toilets in India, which cost about one billion US dollars, and when the news reached China, he was inevitably sneered at by the keyboard warriors. With this money, why don't you invest and donate money in Huaxia, and some people say that Zhou Shi is a traitor. Staying overseas for a long time is to transfer assets and change nationality.
"You say that, why don't I go to India and invest in a real movie about toilet heroes, so that you people who are gloating can take a good look. "Zhou Shi
In 2012, Indian bride Anita Nelly ran away from her husband's house on the fourth day of her marriage, claiming that she would not return home if she did not have a separate toilet, and that a charity helped her build a toilet for her family. Later, an Indian film depicted this incident.
"By the way, why do you want to donate toilets in India?" asked Guo Guangchang.
"I probably know about this!" a middle-aged man with a bookish aura walked over.
"Oh!" Zhou Shi didn't speak, and Guo Guangchang took it.
In order to avoid the crowd, they can only go to the wilderness to go to the toilet before dawn, enduring the insults of the so-called traditional culture, and are often harassed by good people passing by, and even women are violated. This is the social background of India now, and even in developed cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, etc., their cities still have a strong smell. It is a dilemma that India's traditional culture is incompatible with modern society, and Mr. Zhou donated to build a toilet, perhaps to establish a distinctive personal image for himself in India!"
Zhou Shi couldn't help but look at the person who came, his original intention was not so simple, the future of digital India, the popularization of mobile Internet by Jio Telecom, coupled with the likely Indian demonetization order, cashless society, all kinds of challenges will hit the nerves of Indians again and again. What he is doing at this time is nothing more than an hors d'oeuvres to let Indians know that he is a reformer and improve their tolerance for themselves. The movie of the toilet hero that Zhou Shi said before will definitely appear, and when the time comes, Zhou Shi's donation to build 100,000 toilets will be shown through this movie. He said that it was because he saw what happened to Anita Nelly that he had the idea of donating toilets in India. By the way, the film set off a vigorous "toilet movement" in India, so that the call of "if you want to marry a wife to build a toilet first" spread to every isolated small village.
"Awesome!" Zhou Shi gave a thumbs up
"This is Wu Xiaobo, I think you should have read his book "Thirty Years of Turbulence", and he is the best financial writer in China. "Guo Guangchang
"I'm glad I'll be lucky!" Zhou Shi took the initiative to stretch out his hands and welcome.
"I'm also very happy to meet Mr. Zhou!" Wu Xiaobo
"He wants to talk to you for a while, how do you have time?" Guo Guangchang
"Mr. Guo spoke, even if he didn't have time, he will have time now!" Zhou Shi
"Haha, then you talk, I'll go outside and prepare!" Guo Guangchang
"Mr. Zhou, this time I am a little presumptuous, I'm really embarrassed, please forgive me for my curiosity about you, I have always wanted to have such an exchange......" Wu Xiaobo
"It's okay, the reason why I don't give interviews much is because I don't have enough skills to say much that makes sense. If I had Jack Ma's level of flickering, I wouldn't be interviewed by the media and reporters so rarely as I am now. "Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou is polite!" Wu Xiaobo
"No, it's true, you don't think I'm a genius who knows everything, if I had strong communication skills, I wouldn't let Yahoo be managed by someone else and hide behind the scenes. "Zhou Shi
"Why is it necessary to be behind the scenes if the communication skills are not strong?" Wu Xiaobo
"Listed companies are responsible for all shareholders, and they have the obligation to explain the company's business philosophy to investors, that is, to tell investors what is happening to us and what may happen in the future. "Zhou Shi
"Why, I've watched several interviews and reports, and they've done very well. "Wu
"That's because there's an outline, there's a rehearsal, you have a general idea of what they're going to ask, and then there's a lot of preparation. If you ask me suddenly, you may not understand what they say, and even if I want to say something, I can't express it in English......" Zhou Shi
"Your English is not good?"
"It depends on how it compares, I should be a little stronger than Lei Jun in China!" Zhou Shi
"Ahem!" Wu Xiaobo didn't see such a direct one, and he wasn't afraid of offending people.
"Mr. Zhou mind if I record it, I want to record today's conversation, but I will submit a manuscript to your assistant before publication, and if there is anything inappropriate, we can revise it!" Wu Xiaobo
"Yes!" Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou's expression ability has always been bad?" Wu Xiaobo
"I don't know, I said a lot when I first started my business, but I don't know if it will work. "Zhou Shi
"I think it should work very well, and Mr. Zhou has always been successful. "Wu Xiaobo
"That's not necessarily, if my words were convincing, there wouldn't be a few people who trusted me......" Zhou Shi
"Mr. Zhou has encountered many difficulties in starting a business?" Wu Xiaobo
"There is only one difficulty I encountered, and that is the lack of talent. Because of my age, not many people believed me from the beginning, especially at that time, I was very talkative and loved to speak, so let everyone know that I had a lot of naïve thoughts and opinions. Maybe at that time, many people thought I was exaggerated, but I was just lucky, and I didn't have much real skills!"
"But many of the old employees we interviewed will have a very good impression of Mr. Zhou," Wu Xiaobo
"Thank you!" Zhou Shi
"The thirst for talent has continued to the present, you know, the competition of modern enterprises is to some extent the competition of listed talent, but we have so many good competitors around the world, we have always had a great thirst for talent. "Zhou Shi
"Since talent is so important, what do you do to get talent?"
"There are many, for example, the premise of the first large-scale external financing of Friends.com around 2008 is to introduce our best talents. A large part of the reason for the establishment of the Yahoo Brain project is to attract talents...... "Zhou Shi."
