Chapter 310: Sharing Economy
The scale of Xuanwu Fund's 15 billion yuan is not very large, and then it maintains the same strategy as Sixiang Fund, which is biomedicine, consumption and Internet high-tech semiconductor industries. For example, Costco, Illumina gene sequencing, Starbucks coffee, Apple, Google, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon, Priceline (the American version of Ctrip), Netflix, Nvidia, Yahoo, eBay, ARM, TSMC, ASML (Dutch lithography giant), Berkshire Hathaway (Buffett), ****, Visa (credit card issuing organization), Goldman Sachs, Da Mo, Blackstone Group, as well as domestic Baidu, NetEase, Ctrip, Focus and so on. On average, the investment scale of each enterprise is only hundreds of millions of dollars, and it will not have a big impact at all.
In November, in addition to calculating the investment ratio for the Xuanwu Fund according to the importance of his own industry, Zhou Shi made the final decision for the Suzaku No. 5 and No. 6 funds. The price of crude oil fell below $60 per barrel, from $140 to now, the profit per poke of crude oil is more than $80, billions of dollars in profits, so that the miracle has not stopped, oil prices have not stabilized, and short orders continue to hold. The lowest price of gold fell below $700 per ounce, and the price of $1,900 per ounce in the future is far away. As for London copper, we need to wait a little longer, the domestic trillion plan has not yet been reported, and the price of copper and iron has not risen to the point when it comes, and it should be logical to return to historical highs at that time. The next focus of the Suzaku Fund is undoubtedly on gold, oil and copper.
Zhou Shi regretted that after this time, his prediction of the financial market would basically fail, and on the other hand, he was excited about the huge profits, and sang an inexplicable ballad.
"Why are you so much more idle now than before!" Wang Xirui, who is cooking in a luxury villa, realized that Zhou Shi was very different from before, "Have you become a billionaire, so you don't need to struggle?"
"Almost, my layout for the future is basically completed, and the rest of the work is to let the most talented people in the world serve my ideals!" Zhou Shi
"How can you guarantee that others will serve your ideals?"
"That's why I said this is my future job!"
"Didn't you say you were going to buy a company and take control of it yourself?"
"That's right, but someone will take care of the specifics for me. "Zhou Shi
"Who? "Wang Xirui
"Shirley Sandberg! "Zhou Shi
"Isn't she in charge of YouTube's business at Amazon?" Wang Xirui inquired
"Yes, Shirley has left Amazon, but most of the rights to YouTube are still in our hands. Zhou Shike never wanted to give up on YouTube and Amazon completely, and if he didn't have the necessary influence, he would be a financial investment, which was not Zhou Shi's pursuit.
"Your company hasn't been established yet, why would Shirley agree to come out and help you?"
"Because I have ideals, I have courage!" Zhou Shi
"Just blow it!" Wang Xirui obviously did not agree with this explanation.
"I really didn't blow it, I told her my vision for the future, and before I started to talk about the treatment, she couldn't wait to take the initiative to follow me!" Zhou Shi said arrogantly
"What did you tell her?"
"I told her that I wanted to develop a sharing economy in the future. "Zhou Shi
"What is the sharing economy?"
"Through the Internet as a medium, people can enjoy social resources fairly, pay and benefit in different ways, and jointly obtain economic dividends. "Zhou Shi
"Can you put it simply, I don't understand. Wang Xirui thought for a moment and asked puzzled. Obviously, I know all the words, but when I put them together, I am confused.
"Sharing knows, friends borrow books or cars, neighbors borrow things from each other! These are all sharing, but this traditional sharing is restricted by two elements: space and relationship. After the emergence of SNS communities such as Friends.com, most of the information shared by everyone was free to share all kinds of UGC and information. What I'm going to do next is a sharing economy with the main purpose of getting a certain amount of remuneration and having the right to use items between strangers for the temporary transfer!"
"Hmm~~" Wang Xirui
"Specifically, I am ready to start from the aspects of travel, accommodation, entrepreneurship and office, and capital, such as most people travel to live in hotels, but many people may have a lot of free houses at home, we can use an Internet platform to let everyone share their idle rooms, and travelers in need can place orders through the Internet, stay in the room at the appointed time, and even through the interaction between the two sides, let tourists know more about the city. Zhou Shi didn't know if he could say it clearly, anyway, he understood it very well
"Who would want to rent their room to a stranger, and who would want to live in a stranger's house?" Wang Xirui grasped the point.
"Yes, I know there will be all kinds of issues, including security, privacy, etc., but I started the social network with the same intention in mind, and I believe that through adequate communication, there will be less and less such worries. What we need to do is to change the world and make the world a better place through a little bit of progress!"
"So for these reasons, Shirley agreed to you!" Wang Xirui
"What the specific reason, no one knows except herself. "Zhou Shi
"Well, you want to cultivate a market from scratch, is it appropriate to let her come over now? Your operating costs won't be too high!" Wang Xirui
"It's okay, I didn't do sharing at first, I did group buying. "Zhou Shi
ā( pā²ļøµāµć Wang Xirui was once again confused by Zhou Shi's leaping thinking
"Don't you think business is bad now, a lot of restaurants have a lot fewer customers during peak periods. "Zhou Shi
"I don't know, I've been eating at school or I'm cooking my own food. "Wang Xirui
"Well, you just need to know that the financial crisis has made business much worse in many foodservice industries now, and these restaurants are willing to attract more customers through price reduction, and this can be achieved through group buying. "Zhou Shi
"Then you are ready to do a group buy!" Wang Xirui
"That's right, until then, it's a good idea to buy a review site and use that as a basis for us to make improvements and gradually achieve our goals. "Zhou Shi
"But aren't you worried about what others say about you?"
"What are you talking about me?" Zhou Shi
"Some people say that your business is actually capital operation, and YouTube was not created by you, but you occupy the magpie's nest ......" Wang Xirui did not continue, it is conceivable that it will not be a good word.
"Do you think I can satisfy everyone? Can I let everyone praise me? Why should some people care about my slander, they won't let me lose the motivation to move forward!" Zhou Shi said firmly, his water army is not raised for nothing, who is afraid!
