Chapter 675: Person of the Year (Medium)
"I am terrified that I have accumulated so much wealth in such a short period of time, and I do not think that my contribution to society is worthy of the scale of my current wealth. But the progress of science and technology seems to be accumulating wealth faster and faster, and I have been wondering if one in 10,000 people in this world will own more than 90 percent of the world's wealth, and I am very panicked about this. "Zhou Shi
"This may also seem to exist. "Journalists
"So I came up with another model of philanthropy: social enterprise!" Zhou Shi
The reporter's eyes lit up, and finally there was something different. This is the first time that Zhou Shi has expressed his philanthropic philosophy to the public, as a wealthy Chinese with a large concentration of wealth in the United States, many of Zhou Shi's actions are more likely to be criticized. He worked hard to become a shareholder of Disney, joined the board of directors of Disney, and had a significant influence on social networks around the world, which made him widely recognized in Europe and the United States. But there are still many people who pay attention to his wealth and his charity, which is difficult to stop, in addition to racial discrimination, there is also the existence of hatred of the rich, and the combination of the two is the moral dilemma faced by Zhou Shi.
Next, Zhou Shi explained in detail his views on social enterprises, mainly that the ownership and management of wealth are separated, and the final distribution of wealth will also be separated from the owner of the enterprise, and the choice will be made according to the mission of the enterprise.
"That is to say, the money is nominally mine, but in essence it becomes everyone's, for example, to promote social fairness through scientific and technological progress, and profit maximization will not be the purpose of the enterprise. However, I think this is a long-term process that may require a long period of effort," Zhou Shi
"So is there any difference in social enterprises now?"
"Except for the scale, there may not be much difference, I haven't thought about these things yet, after all, Yahoo needs me more now. "Zhou Shi
The definition of a social enterprise is actually quite well-established, but most of them are very small enterprises, and none of the Fortune 500 companies are social enterprises. In the current economic order, in a world dominated by Wall Street, this is very unrealistic.
This interview talked a lot, and after talking about charity, the reporter asked about Zhou Shi's three views, at least that's how he understood.
"Many of my thoughts now come from Taoism, specifically Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi, as well as Zhou Shi, who I learned from a Book of Changes
According to UNESCO statistics, the total sales of the world's cultural masterpieces are the Tao Te Ching, in addition to the Bible. Lao Tzu is one of the most well-known Chinese historical figures in many countries.
"So you believe in Taoism?"
"I believe in Taoism, but I am not Taoist, I should say Taoist. In Huaxia, Taoism and Taoism are not the same. Taoism is a religion, and what I believe in is the highest law that exists in the universe, the law of the operation of all things, that is, the Tao!"
Most of the emperors and generals throughout the ages were born extraordinary, even Jack Ma is out of phase, and most of every successful person has his own persistence. Zhou Shi's success is too exaggerated, and it may be more acceptable to add a set of mysterious clothes to him. At the very least, let the world know that Zhou Shi is not a thoughtless speculator, he has his own pursuits and ambitions. Many management concepts of modern management, especially the Internet industry, can be closer to Taoist thought, such as the Taoist idea of ruling by inaction, which can well explain Netflix's cancellation of vacation system, as well as recruiting only "adults" - people who are responsible for themselves and those around them, as for flat organizations and the like, it is better to explain.
After the interview, which will not be published until January 1 next year, Zhou Shi and two women who are already pregnant will spend Christmas in the United States and attend some friends' parties. said that he was a friend, but in fact, among his peers, in addition to his colleagues, he was also close to Zuckerberg. However, in Zhou Shi's opinion, Zuckerberg is obviously an ugly man, it seems that some people are still saying that his wife is ugly, and the two are obviously very compatible together, of course, he will not say it directly. Besides, compared with the loving Zuckerbergs, he can only be a scumbag.
"Why don't you go to Zuckerberg's party?" Wang Xirui, she and Xiaozha have known each other for a long time, and they have played with Xiaozha's wife before.
"If I don't go, I don't want to accept moral condemnation. "Zhou Shi is very uninterested in Priscilla Chen, and has been upset with Wang Xirui several times.
"Are you still afraid?" Li Ying
"I'm just trying to avoid trouble!" Zhou Shi, the two of them live together, and Zhou Shi has always been very worried, for fear that one of them will be careless and cause great twists and turns, so he basically accompanies them every day except for working hours.
"Aren't you busy now?"
"No?" Zhou Shi, his secretarial system is not perfect, he manages too many businesses, and many times he lacks skills, especially Galaxy Capital, after Gregory and Lu He left one after another, he has been lacking a suitable leader.
Galaxy Capital's investment is very complicated, after the closure of the Vermilion Bird Fund this year, it has three main funds, namely the White Tiger (PE, equity investment) fund, the Xuanwu (hybrid) fund, and the Qinglong venture capital fund. Holding and relative holding of Chartered Semiconductor, East West Bank, Micron and Avago, has entered the boards of Moody's Ratings, Mastercard, ARM, IDCC, Saab and Chery Automobile. Most of the current candidates are financial talents recruited during the financial crisis and elites from various industries that have been gradually absorbed in recent years. However, because he was worried about losing control, Zhou Shi had strict restrictions on Galaxy Capital and basically stopped expanding. He also has three candidates, one is Li Kesong, a partner of Warburg Pincus (the future CEO of Carlyle), one is Li Xiaojia, the chief executive of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the other is Zhu Yunlai of CICC. The three have different backgrounds, but their abilities are equally remarkable. It's just that Galaxy Capital doesn't have much room for them to play for the time being, and the absence of Meibang Securities has almost interrupted Galaxy Capital's ability to expand externally, and at the same time, it is accompanied by a large amount of talent loss. Lu He had been in charge of Galaxy Capital before, and most people recognized his ability and were willing to work hard with him.
After the listing of Meibang Securities, the market value briefly rushed above 20 billion US dollars, and then slowly declined, and the current market value is between 15 billion ~ 18 billion US dollars. As the world's largest securities company, the new Milbank Securities has achieved remarkable results. The income from the securities business accounted for a large proportion, reaching 60 percent, the investment banking and investment management businesses were barely strong, and the proprietary business made a lot of money because of the long gold.
After the initial communication between headhunters and domestic relations, only Warburg Pincus's Li Kesong has this will, Li Xiaojia obviously thinks that the platform of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is more suitable for him, and Zhu Yunlai is difficult to say, perhaps because of a lack of overseas experience. Li Kesong's current status and ability may not be at the level of a few years from now, and this opportunity is rare for him.
