After reaching a certain point, wealth is naturally just a number.
But herein lies the problem.
For the vast majority of ordinary people, not to mention 100 million US dollars, even 10 million yuan, may be a salary that they cannot earn in this lifetime.
This is not a joke, ~ but a fact.
China has developed to today, and there are only a handful of people with an annual income of one million.
Most people’s monthly salary, or annual income, is maintained at about -tens of thousands of yuan.
Only on those short video platforms and Weibo, there will be a monthly income of 10,000 despised things.
After all, keyboard warriors are blind, and a monthly income of 100,000 and a million a year is as simple as eating and drinking water in their eyes.
I don’t know.
If you really post your payslips, these people are poorer than the other.
This is a fact.
The most obvious are the so-called female boxers.
Someone once said that more than 10,000 a month is not enough to spend, what a bottle of perfume is a thousand, a bag of two thousand, 10,000 yuan is nothing at all, a girl in a big city is definitely not enough.
And in fact.
This woman lives in a county town in a province with a national economic development level, she has no job, she is supported by her husband at home, and she is not even a full-time wife, because most of the children posted in the short video are brought to her by elders.
This is the so-called independent woman, 10,000 a month is not enough to spend.
To put it bluntly, it’s just the kind of rice worm waste that eats and waits to die.
But even this kind of person, after hearing Zhang Yiyi say that Chu Sheng owned 25% of the equity of ByteDance, he was completely stunned.
Because they couldn’t imagine how Chu Sheng, who was worth 400 billion US dollars, would spend this money.
“It’s not going to be spent!”
Reba muttered in his mouth, and then looked at Chu Sheng: “Godfather, do you say I want to buy a private jet?” ”
“…………”
Chu Sheng was speechless when he looked at her.
How is this girl’s brain circuit so strange.
“Ahem, Brother Chu, I want an island!”
Liu Tianxian blinked, and the sense of variety also came up, and he came to Chu Sheng’s side and coquettishly.
“Ahem!”
She was so coquettish, Chu Sheng felt uncomfortable, and quickly glared at her vaguely: “Don’t make trouble!” ”
He was already helpless.
This Liu Tianxian actually learned from Reba, Reba is a goddaughter, can she be the same?
The two had an in-depth exchange yesterday.
“Haha!”
Seeing Chu Sheng’s reaction, Liu Tianxian suddenly laughed.
The people around them thought they were joking, and they all laughed, only the two of them understood what was going on.
“Oh, Brother Chu, please be raised, it will warm the bed!”
Liu Tianxian was playful and said to Chu Sheng again.
“Pack your size!”
Chu Sheng was speechless, stretched out his hand and knocked on Liu Tianxian’s head, and said angrily: “If you mess around again, I will tell you all the embarrassing things when you were filming, don’t forget, I still have a video of you lying on the ground crying.” ”
“Stop!”
Liu Tianxian’s face changed instantly when he heard this, and he said directly: “I surrender,? ”
What an international joke!
That is his own proper black history, if it is passed on, the name of his goddess will be completely planted.
“Hahahaha!”
Everyone laughed.
The audience in the live broadcast room even sent messages on the barrage.
“Nope,.”
“Haha, Liu Tianxian is so fast.”
“This is the disadvantage of friends who have known each other for too long, black history or something, come casually.”
“But no, if it were someone else, it wouldn’t be like this.”
“But seriously, 400 billion dollars, it’s scary.”
“Nonsense, just listening to it makes me dizzy.”
“Me too, it sounds scary.”
“This is Teacher Chu, I feel like bragging for others.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Teacher Chu is mighty!”
“Teacher Chu is awesome!”
“400 billion ah, converted into RMB, more than 2 trillion RMB, it will take ten lifetimes to spend it!”
“Envy, if this is my godfather, I will also be like Reba, I want a big house.”
“Upstairs you can dream.”
“………………”
For most of the audience, Chu Sheng’s asset number is beyond their understanding.
Or rather.
In their eyes, it may be that Chu Sheng or Chu Sheng’s descendants will not be able to spend these funds in several lifetimes.
For Chu Sheng, money is really numbers.
No wonder people are as free as they are now.
Obviously.
He no longer needs to fight for his career or ideals.
As long as he has a happy life, it is probably the best result.
……………………
This side of the wooden house.
For Zhang Yiyi’s exposure of himself, Chu Sheng didn’t care.
Everything has cause and effect, the birth and death of one thing must be accompanied by the disturbance of another trigger, if there is really God in this world, then in his eyes, this world may be countless moving lines, they appear, develop, collide, fork, twist, turn, collapse, and continue with time.
Will ByteDance go public?
The answer is undoubtedly yes.
If it is not listed, why should so many investors invest in this company?
The fundamental purpose of doing business is not to benefit mankind, that is what scientists do.
As businessmen, their fundamental purpose is to make money.
Chu Sheng is the same.
Why else would he invest in so many companies?
In fact.
At this time, short videos have become a new outlet in the Internet era.
Douyin is on fire, and Kuaishou is also red.
Just two years ago, Slow Hand officially landed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, triggering a wave of sought after by the capital market, with a market value of more than HK$1.6 trillion at one point, becoming the first stock in the short video field.
Since the news of SlowShou landing in the capital market, the industry has also been speculating whether Douyin or its parent company ByteDance, as a leader in the short video field, will go public, and when will it go public?
I just didn’t expect that this cycle would be so long.
Three years ago, in October, according to media reports, ByteDance was considering promoting a separate listing of its douyin business on Hong Kong Island, and a number of investment banks such as Goldman Sachs had approached the company to discuss underwriting matters.
The response of the relevant person in charge of ByteDance also confirmed that the company is considering promoting the listing of Douyin’s business on Hong Kong Island separately, but it has not yet been finalized.
Two years ago, the market reported that ByteDance was considering going public as a whole, when its valuation in the capital market had reached $250 billion.
With the popularity of Slowhand’s listing on Hong Kong Island by investors, the valuations of Douyin and parent company ByteDance have soared. As of April, private equity investors valued ByteDance at nearly $400 billion.
However, in the end, ByteDance did not go public two years ago. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )
At that time, Zhang Yiyi and Chu Sheng had also discussed this issue.
Because at that time, ByteDance needed to solve too many problems.
How to use the same algorithm of Douyin and TikTok to correspond and divest domestic business to adapt to listing regulations and rules in different regions.
But in fact, Chu Sheng knows that the listing of ByteDance is an inevitable result.
So far, ByteDance has completed a total of eight rounds of financing, with a cumulative amount of more than US$7 billion, including Sequoia Capital, SoftBank Vision Fund, Yunfeng Fund, and KKR’s well-known equity investment managers.
These people, like Chu Sheng, are waiting for ByteDance to go public and invest in monetization!
Of course.
These words, Chu Sheng could not have said in the live broadcast.
“That, Mr. Chu, ByteDance has not been listed, are you opposed, or are other investors opposed?”
At this time.
Teacher He suddenly asked Chu Sheng.
“Yes, I look at other platforms, it seems to be listed, right?”
Sister Zifeng also asked a little puzzled.
They are all laymen, naturally they don’t understand these things, so they ask casually.
“Well, in fact, the time is not ripe.”
Chu Sheng smiled when he heard this, and said casually: “I estimate that in a few years, ByteDance will be listed, what do you say, Mr. Zhang?” ”
Talking.
He looked at Zhang.
Zhang Yiyi shrugged: “You are the majority shareholder, you have the final say.” ”
“Hahahaha!”
Everyone was amused by his attitude, which is too casual, right?
But in fact, they didn’t know that Chu Sheng and Zhang Yiyi were not joking.
The reason for the slow listing is simple, because they lack money, so they will rush to go public and raise funds.
Whether in terms of operating income, profitability or users and activity, Douyin and its parent company have a strong competitive advantage, and the hegemony of the industry is very solid, and it is not bad money at all.
This is also the main reason why ByteDance is not in a hurry to go public.
In addition, due to the international environment, the market space has been squeezed, and there is still a lot of work to be done to separate ByteDance’s international business from its domestic business, and it is not the best time to go public before.
Moreover, several of ByteDance’s main businesses, such as Douyin, are in a period of rapid development and have broad prospects, while ByteDance, which is in the expansion period, will give priority to business development and market space proportion, and the return on investment required for listing will be weakened, which is more favorable for future listings and valuations.
To put it bluntly, in the long run, the best time for ByteDance to go public is indeed not now, which is why Chu Sheng has been pressing this matter.
From the perspective of core technology, market space, capital investment, profit model, etc., ByteDance’s advantages are still very obvious, and it is the time to accelerate expansion.
The good market response has also paved the way for the company’s development, and ByteDance’s business blueprint has jumped on paper, and Chu Sheng is naturally not in a hurry.
………………
After eating,
Huang Xiaochu and Teacher He and the others took Peng Peng and them to work.
And Liu Tianxian thought it was funny, so he simply followed.
But Chu Sheng did not go, but stayed, and walked with Zhang Yi and the two towards the grassland in the distance.
Of course.
The two of them chatted, naturally without a camera, and they could be a little casual.
“Mr. Chu, I still don’t quite understand why you insist on not letting the company go public.”
Zhang Yiyi was full of doubts in his heart, and couldn’t help but ask Chu Sheng.
Originally, he came this time to persuade Chu Sheng to agree to the listing of ByteDance.
But obviously.
Chu Sheng still disagreed.
Chu Sheng looked ahead and patted him on the shoulder: “Right and wrong in this world, there is a truth that is not easy in all worlds, there are two truths, understanding them, you can basically understand all the right and wrong in the world.” ”
Zhang Yiyi was stunned.
Chu Sheng had already said calmly: “The first of these two truths is called the unkindness of heaven and earth, which means that everything in our world is governed by immutable objective laws, in this world, as long as it conforms to the law, anything can happen, as long as it conforms to the law, anything can happen, and it will not be transferred because of our expectations.” Its calculations, like mathematics, are rigorous, not vague and ambiguous. ”
And the second truth that constitutes the measure of right and wrong is that life has its own tendencies, let’s call it animism. The world is bitter, you can hate the world, but one thing is immutable: as long as you are a person, you will feel warm, feel happy and satisfied for those good things, you will feel happy, see positive things, you will have positive emotions. All things have tendencies, so this is the second, immutable truth. When you understand these two articles, everything is just calculated. ”
????
????
Zhang Yiyi looked at Chu Sheng, a little surprised, to be honest, although he had known Chu Sheng for a long time, he still didn’t quite understand what Chu Sheng meant.
This Mr. Chu gives people the feeling that he is always calculating something.
Chu Sheng smiled, seemed to detect Zhang Yi’s gaze, and said lightly: “Life with tendencies, living in a world without tendencies, understanding the basic rules of this world, understanding the basic attributes of people, and then calculating, and finally achieving a positive and warm result that satisfies our tendencies as much as possible, is the noblest use of wisdom by man.” But the reason why we emphasize these two articles is because we need to see clearly that the results must be positive, and the process of calculation must be cold and rigorous. Those who depart from both are wrong, and those who conform to both are right. ”
After saying this, Chu Sheng raised his hand, pointed to the grassland in the distance, and said to Zhang: “You see, all things have animism, and everyone is fighting in the direction they feel good.” With their wisdom, they deduce the development of the world and then do things that they think will get better, but the heavens and the earth are not benevolent, and whether the calculations are correct has nothing to do with whether you are kind, impassioned, or full of great goals. If you are wrong, the bitter fruit will surely come. ”
“Therefore, heaven and earth are not benevolent to all things as dogs, and saints are not benevolent to the people as dogs. In order to be truly positive in essence, to let go of all wishes, all flukes, the calculations made are the closest we can get to right. Therefore, you can calculate whether we can achieve the most suitable result if we go public now, and whether it can meet the interests of most people. ”
Zhang Yiyi did not speak.
Instead, he lowered his head and began to ponder.
Everyone is working hard for what they think is the right direction.
He felt that Chu Sheng’s words made sense.
ByteDance has raised seven billion dollars so far, and too many people are waiting for the company to go public and make a lot of money.
But not everyone of these people understands what the future direction of the company looks like.
Except for yourself!
After a long time, Zhang Yiyi slowly raised his head and looked at Chu Sheng: “Mr. Chu, do you remember the first time we met?” ”
Chu Sheng smiled when he heard this, and nodded: “I remember, at that time, you just resigned and ran to me and said to me that you wanted to be a better Internet company than Penguin.” ”
“yes.”
Zhang Yiyi nodded, and then said with a smile: “It’s been twelve years.” ”
“Hmm.”
Chu Sheng laughed: “We are all old. ”
Twelve years ago, Chu Sheng was in his early thirties, and Zhang Yiyi left the restaurant to establish Jiujiufang, he was three years younger than Chu Sheng.
After so many years, both of them were over forty years old.
And the company they founded finally has the opportunity to stand in front of Penguin.
“Mr. Chu, before I came, I planned to go public.”
Zhang Yiyi looked at Chu Sheng and said slowly: “However, now, I think maybe we should wait a little longer, accumulate our strength again, and wait for the day when it is strong enough, I don’t think I will let you down.” ”
Chu Sheng showed a smile, nodded, and said calmly: “Okay, then I’ll wait and see!” ”
At this moment, the warm and gentle afternoon sun shone on Chu Sheng and Zhang Yi’s bodies, especially warm, as if they returned to the day when they first met.
At that time, they were people with dreams, and now, they still have dreams!
