Chapter 96: Baidu Listing (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

Baidu's IPO was undoubtedly a great success, reaching a maximum market capitalization of $10 billion. Robin Lee's net worth exceeded 15 billion yuan, making him the new richest man in China. And more than 4% of Baidu's shares under Zhou Shi's name are also worth more than 3 billion yuan.

So with the listing of Baidu, there was a crazy report in China, although Zhou Shi's shareholding did not exceed 5%, but he was still picked up his information, so the richest man in China plus the richest man after the 80s, instantly appeared on the headlines of large and small newspapers at home and abroad, time friends also got a large number of interview requests, and NASDAQ financial reporters also got the news, one by one through Fan Liuyi and Li Lingyun, wanted to interview Zhou Shi. This time, Zhou Shi did not choose to dodge. I selected a few more influential media outlets and gave interviews. For example, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Sina, Sohu in China. This time, Baidu's listing made Zhou Shi the richest man in the world's self-made post-80s generation, and Zhou Shi intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he was the majority shareholder of YouTube, which suddenly made high-quality media such as the New York Times succumb.

It is conceivable that everyone is very interested in the process of Zhou Shi's start. After discussing it with Lu He and others, he deliberately ignored his speculation in the financial market. It is only said that I earned tens of thousands of dollars from working in the summer vacation, and the second local government in the province rewarded tens of thousands of dollars for the college entrance examination, and when I arrived at the school, I applied for scholarships and student loans and tens of thousands, and a total of more than 20,000 US dollars was calculated. Then he received strong support from Galaxy Capital, and after having funds, he began to grow, and was finally acquired by Baidu, which achieved his miracle.

"You have become the richest man in the world after the 80s, how do you feel now?"

"I don't have any feelings, Baidu still has a lot of development potential, I think the market value of tens of billions of dollars is not his end, and Baidu will create new miracles in a few years. Zhou Shi said modestly

"Do you have any thoughts on this money and will you continue your studies?"

"I don't have an idea, and I can't cash out now anyway, and I can't do it if I want to take out a little bit to support my new entrepreneurial venture. Zhou Shi quietly began to change the topic

"You have a new business idea," exclaimed a reporter in China

"I've turned my idea into a reality," Zhou Shi looked at him dissatisfied

"Are you talking about the domestic time network?" a reporter then asked

"I'm talking about YouTube, and I think it's going to be a classic in the web 2.0 era" week

"It is said that Web 2.0 was also proposed by you?"

"Maybe, I don't know the specific situation, I have a lot of ideas since I came into contact with the Internet, but the term web2.0 is more vivid and specific, so I distilled those ideas and said the word web2.0. "Zhou Shi

After chatting for a while about web 2.0, the topic shifted to YouTube.

"How did you choose YouTube as your web 2.0 practice?"

"At that time, I was entrusted by a few friends to promote China's Got Talent in the United States, so I wanted to find a video website to promote, after a friend's recommendation and selection, I picked YouTube, and then after in-depth communication with their founder team, I chose to cooperate, so I invested a sum of money and became one of their major shareholders, and then there was the popularity of American Got Talent and YouTube. Zhou Shi said carefully, as if he had not divulged the secret.

"I heard that YouTube received $50 million in financing from Sequoia Capital last year, does it mean that your investment and entrepreneurship have been successful again?"

"It's too early to say success, and we have to pass the test of time. "Zhou Shi

"I heard that YouTube is facing a copyright dispute and may be ...... by several major companies"

"We will try our best to reach cooperation agreements with several TV networks and film and television companies to jointly develop the market, and I believe that win-win cooperation is an effective way to solve contradictions," Zhou Shi

After several hours of interviewing, Zhou Shi, who was tense at all times, finally got relieved, lay in the car exhausted, and returned to the hotel-style apartment rented by several people. After washing, lie down on the sofa in the living room and think about whether there were any communication problems that day. I vaguely feel that these media are a little resistant to him, but fortunately, these media are not very familiar with him, and it is impossible to attack him deeply. However, Zhou Shi, who has come into the public eye, will have a lot more to pay attention to in the future, and he can't be accurately attacked by these overseas media and ruined his reputation.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Shi didn't feel any movement in the room, opened his eyes strangely, and looked at Fan Liuyi and Li Lingyun, who were cautiously busy with something, without their usual liveliness.

"What's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?" Zhou Shi asked curiously, I usually have a good relationship with them, but I haven't seen them like this.

"Ahh

"Then you don't have to be like this, sneak around, like a thief" Zhou Shi

The two of them glanced at each other weakly, Fan Liuyi: "We just don't want to disturb you." ”

"Usually you don't bother much, what's the matter now" Zhou Shi didn't finish speaking, and suddenly understood: "Now I know I'm scared, it's too late, I've already memorized it in a small notebook, you just wait for my revenge!" Zhou Shi pretended to be fierce and said.

"Dong Zhou, why are you so rich all of a sudden?" Fan Liuyi was not frightened by Zhou Shi and walked to Dai Zhoushi's side.

"I've always been so rich, but you don't know" Zhou Shi

"Then why don't you even have a car" Li Lingyun also joined the resistance team

"Where the big boss needs to drive by himself, it is all driven by others, so you hurry up, hurry up and practice the car well, and let you drive me when the time comes" Zhou Shi

"A capitalist is a capitalist, and he does not hesitate to exploit us" Fan Liuyi.

"Envy, envy, but it's useless for you to envy and hate, I'm still me, and I should be exploited. Otherwise, how can we accumulate more funds" Zhou Shi, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, pay attention to help me keep an eye on the reaction of domestic public opinion, and if there is any negative information, let those two people in China notify us immediately." ”

"Okay, got it" The two of them agreed to Zhou Shi with some indignation, and went to work separately.

Zhou Shi thought about it and felt that he still had to do more promotion, his friends and blog accounts should be updated, and he should always let his voice communicate directly with everyone, and someone should be responsible for this to create a good public image for himself. In the future, Steve Jobs will have a dress rehearsal before almost every speech, and experts in related industries will also come to provide him with reference and advice. Thinking of this, Zhou Shi decided to let Bao Qixing and Pei Yuting be in charge of domestic accounts, and Fan Liuyi and Li Lingyun were in charge of several foreign self-media accounts, so he called the two over again.

"Okay, I'll let the finance give you more bonuses, and if you do well, you will become a regular in advance" Zhou Shi looked at the two who wanted to cry without tears and gave his carrot.

"Really, you're so good!" Fan Liuyi said and kissed Zhou Shi, and then hurriedly ran away.

In the face of this sudden attack, Zhou Shi thought about it, could it be......?
