In the past two years, domestic public opinion has been in the wrong direction, and hatred against the rich has become very serious.

Especially after the announcement of the rich list in the past two years, it caused an uproar. Many paper and official media publicly expressed doubts about these super rich people.

The voices of original sin are rising one after another, and many rich people on the list have fallen from power.

It scares many wealthy people to flee abroad.

The situation in the Beijing area, where the emperor is at the foot of the emperor, is a bit better. Many wealthy people from other provinces are terrified when they hear Hurun's name, fearing that they will be targeted by him and put on his death list.

Some people even secretly investigated Hurun's home address and came to threaten you, "If you dare to put our boss's name on it, I will destroy you!"

Many people once felt that Hurun rejected Forbes' recruitment, and in such a special market atmosphere, it would be difficult to continue the rich list business.

But no one expected that he would attend the Entrepreneur Summit and invite British Prime Minister Blair to the platform. This was amazing. Hurun not only did not fall, but grew bigger and bigger.

In addition to the Rich List, it has also created sub-lists such as the "Strong List", "Rich Women List", "IT Rich List", "Real Estate Rich List", and "Retail Rich List".

Last year, Zhou Buqi was not on the list.

Developing in a low profile.

It seems that there is no way to escape this year.

The main reason is that since October last year, Ziweixing has made a series of huge claims, including its $80 million acquisition of Sogou and its battle with Panda Burning Incense... It is impossible not to attract attention.

"We are doing business openly, what are we afraid of? Let him come over and I will understand him!"

Zhou Buqi snorted.

Internet companies are in the technology industry and are emerging industries that are supported by the state. Not to mention that there are no problems, even if there are some minor problems, the authorities will turn a blind eye.

For example, something happened in the industry recently. Music groups such as Sony, Universal, and Warner sued domestic Internet companies such as Yahoo China, Baidu, and NetEase!

They say that they use pirated music to make money at will on the Internet, which seriously infringes on intellectual property rights.

There are 12 companies on the defendant list, including Ziweixing.

So what?

When the lawsuit is completed in half a year, the only thing that can be said is that the music companies have failed in their prosecution.

Hurun is an international student in China and speaks Chinese very well. After meeting him, he was surprised, "Mr. Zhou, you are so young?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and shook hands with him, "I'm still a college student, don't you know?"

"I've heard of it, but I can't believe it."

"Then it's still coming?"

"Ziweixing is so famous, I will definitely come here."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Sit down, what can I drink?"

"Beer bar."

"Well……"

"Then let's have coffee."

Zhou Buqi glanced at Ning Yaxian, and his mental state was relatively relaxed. He wanted to keep a low profile, but if his strength really didn't allow it... then there was nothing he could do, he could only let it go.

"You have visited all the domestic entrepreneurs, right?"

"I have basically visited all the well-known people from all over the country. The success rate is not high. At most, only half of the people are willing to meet me. Many people will run around when they hear that I am coming."

Hu Run shrugged helplessly.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Don't expose your wealth, it's the teachings of our ancestors."

Hu Run said: "Actually, the world is the same, especially those rich people in Europe. They are very low-key, wear very ordinary shirts, drive very ordinary cars, and are no different from ordinary people."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's true, if you don't have anything, you can shout."

Hurun took the coffee from Ning Yaxian, said "thank you", and then couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhou, can I see our company's financial report? It doesn't need to be too confidential, as long as..."

"Sorry, we can't." Zhou Buqi immediately refused, "We are preparing for financing, and the financial details are not disclosed to the public."

Hurun was a little disappointed, "Mr. Zhou..."

Zhou Buqi said: "The company has suffered serious losses, and we urgently need financing to solve the company's difficulties. It would be bad if the news leaked and discouraged investors."

Ning Yaxian next to her almost laughed.

I thought to myself, Boss Zhou, you are so capable that even foreign friends deceived you. He has seen the internal financial report. This month’s expected revenue will increase by at least 15% compared to last month.

Hurun asked bluntly: "Mr. Zhou, how much wealth do you think you can have?"

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "How can I have any wealth? You said the company's assets are just a few websites, a bunch of servers, and no book funds. If this financing does not go smoothly, Ziweixing will have to

Bankruptcy."

"Yes, assets are also considered wealth."

"How do you evaluate intangible assets?"

"I heard that Ziweixing's financing offer this time...is worth billions of dollars?"

"Fake rumors!"

Zhou Buqi firmly refused to admit it.

Hurun asked again: "When will Ziweixing start financing?"

"After September."

"That's just right. Our rich list will be released in October. Then we can make a preliminary assessment based on the scale of financing. Mr. Zhou, how much are your shares?"

Zhou Buqi was speechless and felt that this foreigner was really difficult to deal with. "We are an Internet company and have an option pool, so the equity structure is somewhat different from that of the industrial and commercial companies."

"Yeah, I understand, I understand."

"I personally hold shares... about a dozen points."

Hurun made a quick mental calculation.

I feel that it is a little difficult for the boss to enter the national rich list this week, but it is definitely no problem to enter the IT rich list, and he will definitely be in the top 10!

He is just a college student, which is amazing.

As for the rich list, if the bosses of listed companies are good and the information is public, the accuracy will be higher. But the net worth evaluation of the bosses of unlisted companies basically relies on guesswork and speculation, which has little accuracy.

In Hurun's view, at Boss Zhou's age, it is almost enough to enter the top ten of the IT rich list.

It would be so shocking if he entered the rich list.

With a rough estimate in hand, Hurun was satisfied and felt that the trip was worthwhile, so he happily said: "I have visited thousands of entrepreneurs in China, and I think their success can be summed up in three points."

"oh?"

"The first and most important thing is integrity. The second is diligence. The third is pragmatism."

"That's it..."

Zhou Buqi remained calm.

I cursed in my heart, saying that you are a foreigner and you are still playing metaphors with me? It seems that I have no integrity and am lying to you.

Integrity?

Integrity is useless, it is the model of the previous generation of entrepreneurs. With the Internet, we can build information cocoons and circle users, from online financial management to online lending, from medical advertisements to asking you to cut a knife, routines

There are endless scams out there, you can deceive them however you want.

Seeing that he was disapproving, Hurun was very curious, "Mr. Zhou, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I think success requires three things, which are completely different from your opinion. The first is innovation; the second is resource integration; the third is speed."

"What about integrity?"

"This is a luxury product that ordinary people cannot afford."

"Where's diligence?"

"Diligence does not mean correctness. If you are on the wrong path, the more diligent you are, the bigger the mistakes you will make."

"What about pragmatism?"

"This is the thinking of the previous generation. In the past, you used your own money to start a business. Now you will use investors' money. How can it be so pragmatic? Some entrepreneurial teams, after receiving the money, first buy a car for each person."

Hurun seemed to understand what he meant, "Speed ​​up by blowing bubbles?"

Zhou Buqi said: "You can't say that. We are China's speed and have made great achievements."

Hurun nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, there is one discovery that makes me particularly happy. In the field of training institutions, the richest man is Li Yanhong, who is engaged in English training. This shows that the new generation of young people are working hard to embrace the world.

It is a symbol of openness, tolerance and prosperity."

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi felt a little stretched in the crotch.

New Oriental is now the richest company in the training and education industry. In a few years, it was replaced by Xueersi, which educates primary and secondary school students. Later, Xueersi was also defeated and became Zhonggong Education, which teaches young people to take the civil service exams.
