Chapter 657

In the past two years, the direction of domestic public opinion has not been right, and hatred of the rich has been very serious.

Especially after the rich list of the past two years was announced, it caused an uproar. Many paper media and official media have publicly voiced their doubts about these super-rich billionaires.

The voices of original sin came one after another, and many rich people on the list fell one after another.

Scared many rich people to go abroad.

The Beijing circle is under the foot of the emperor, and the situation is better. Many wealthy people from other provinces are panicked when they hear Hurun's name, for fear of being targeted by him and on his list of exterminations.

Someone even secretly investigated Hurun’s home address and came to threaten, “If you dare to put our boss’s name on it, you will be killed!”

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

But no one expected that he turned around and participated in the entrepreneurial summit, and invited British Prime Minister Blair to the platform. This time it was powerful. Not only did Hoogewerf not fall down, but it became bigger and bigger.

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

Last year, Zhou Buqi was not on the list.

In low-key development.

It seems that this year is impossible to escape.

The main reason is that since October last year, Ziweixing has made a series of big noises, such as the acquisition of Sogou for 80 million US dollars, and the battle with Panda Burning Incense... It is impossible not to attract attention.

"Let's do business with dignity, what are we afraid of? Let him come over, and I will meet him!"

Zhou Buqi snorted.

Internet companies are a technology industry and an emerging industry 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, an incident happened recently in the industry. Music groups such as Sony, Universal, and Warner have sued domestic Internet companies such as Yahoo China, Baidu, and NetEase!

It is said that they arbitrarily use pirated music for profit on the Internet, seriously infringing intellectual property rights.

There are 12 defendants on the list, including Ziweixing.

So what?

After half a year, the lawsuit is over, and the music companies can only declare that the lawsuit has failed.

Hu Run is an international student in China, and he speaks Chinese very well. After meeting him, he was very 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."

"Isn't it still here?"

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

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Sit down, what do you want to drink?"

"Beer bar."

"Well……"

"Let's have coffee then."

Zhou Buqi gave Ning Yaxian his eyes, and his mental state was relatively relaxed. He really wanted to keep a low profile, but if his strength really didn't allow it...then he had no choice but to let it go.

"Have you traveled all over the country's entrepreneurs?"

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

Hu Run shrugged helplessly.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Don't expose your wealth, the teachings of our ancestors."

Hoogewerf said: "Actually, the whole world is the same, especially those rich people in Europe, they are very low-key, wearing ordinary shirts and driving ordinary cars, no different from ordinary people."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's true, what's missing is what to shout about."

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

"I'm sorry, I can't." Zhou Buqi immediately refused, "We are preparing for financing, and it is inconvenient to disclose the financial details."

Hu Run 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 out and discouraged investors."

Ning Yaxian next to her almost burst out laughing.

I said in my heart, Boss Zhou, that you are really capable, and even fooled foreign friends. He has read the internal financial report. This month's expected revenue will increase by at least 15% compared to last month.

Hu Run bluntly asked: "Mr. Zhou, how much do you think your wealth can be?"

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "How can I have any wealth? You mean the company's assets, just a few websites, a bunch of servers, and nothing on the books. If this financing does not go well, Ziweixing will have to pay for it next year." bankruptcy."

"Yes, assets are considered wealth."

"How do you evaluate intangible assets?"

"I heard that Ziweixing's financing quotation this time...is several billion dollars?"

"Fake rumors!"

Zhou Buqi firmly refused to admit it.

Hurun asked again: "When will Ziwei Star start financing?"

"After September."

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

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

"Well, understand, understand."

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

Hu Run made a quick calculation in his mind.

I feel that it is still a bit difficult for the boss to enter the National 100 Rich List this week, but it is definitely no problem to enter the IT Rich List, and it is firmly in the top 10!

He is a college student, which is amazing.

As for the rich list, if the boss of the listed company is okay and the information is disclosed, the accuracy will be higher. However, the evaluation of the net worth of the boss of an unlisted company is basically based on guesswork and speculation, which is not accurate.

In Hurun's opinion, at Boss Zhou's age, he is almost ready to enter the top ten IT rich list.

It would be a shock if it entered the 100 Rich List.

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

"oh?"

"The first and most important point is integrity. Second, hard work. Third, pragmatism."

"That's it..."

Zhou kept calm.

Cursing in my heart, saying that you are a foreigner and you are still playing metaphors with me? It's as if I'm lying to you without integrity.

Integrity?

Integrity is useless, that is the model of the previous generation of entrepreneurs. With the Internet, we can create an information cocoon and circle users, from online financial management to online lending, from medical advertisements to asking you to cut a knife, there are endless routines, and you can cheat as you want.

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Hu Run was very curious, "Does Mr. Zhou think I'm wrong?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I think there are three points to success, which is completely different from your view. First, innovation; second, resource integration; third, speed."

"What about honesty?"

"It's a luxury that ordinary people can't afford."

"What about hard work?"

"Diligence does not mean correctness. If you walk on the wrong path, the harder you work, the bigger the mistakes you will make."

"What about being pragmatic?"

"This is the idea of ​​the previous generation. In the past, they used their own money to start a business. In the future, they will use investors' money. How can they be so pragmatic? Some entrepreneurial teams, after getting the money, come up and buy a car for each person."

Hu Run 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 we have made great achievements."

Hoogewerf nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I am very pleased with one discovery. In the field of training institutions, the richest man is Yu Minhong, who is engaged in English training. This shows that the new generation of young people is trying to embrace the world, It is a symbol of openness, inclusiveness, and prosperity."

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi felt a little stretched.

New Oriental is now the richest man in the training and education industry. In a few years, it will be replaced by Xueersi, which is engaged in the education of primary and middle school students. Later, Xueersi was also defeated and became Offcn Education, teaching young people to take the civil service exam.

...

An unexpected visitor came to Ziweixing.

However, Boss Zhou is very confident and can accept all the results calmly. Whether it is low-key or exposed, it doesn't matter. Once an enterprise has reached this scale, it can no longer hide it no matter how much it wants to hide it.

In contrast, the uninvited guests from Yuanwei Group were a little panicked.

It's the police!

The economic investigation team took control of the finance department as soon as they came up, and took the deputy factory directors Tang Yue and Shen Anmin back for questioning.

Just after the new year, the employees were still waiting for the boss to give out red envelopes, but they did not expect to encounter such a thing.

Fang Qiwen was very angry!

These two people were both his right-hand assistants when he started the beverage factory, and they are also important contributors to Yuanwei Group's ability to achieve such a large scale today.

Unexpectedly, a case was filed for investigation.

He immediately went to the chairman's office and found that Zhou Jianjun and Wu Gaoyi were sitting together smoking and drinking tea. The office was full of smoke and the two were talking loudly.

Such a big incident happened in the company, and the two of them were calm, which made Fang Qiwen even more angry, and asked: "Chairman, what is going on? I want an explanation!"

Zhou Jianjun got his son's advice, and he was unambiguous, and his face was relatively calm, "Explain? What explanation?"

"Tang Yue and Shen Anmin were taken back for questioning!"

Fang Qiwen blushed furiously.

Wu Gaoyi frowned, and said unhappily: "The director of the factory, just take it back for questioning. As long as their hands are clean and the investigation is clear, won't they be released?"

"I……"

Fang Qiwen was at a loss for words immediately.

clean?

What a clean fart!

In this kind of enterprise, how can anyone have a clean bottom?

Zhou Jianjun squinted his eyes and said, "Xiaofang, it's not easy for the group to reach its current scale. Didn't you almost go bankrupt when you started that beverage factory?"

Fang Qiwen was very depressed, "Yes."

"Then you should cherish today's hard-won results even more. You don't have to worry about Xiao Tang and Xiao Shen. This is my son who specially asked the police comrades to help them verify their integrity. Recently, there have been rumors in the company that They received kickbacks, falsely issued invoices, and concocted false transportation teams, which has a very bad influence."

"ah?"

Fang Qiwen was stunned.

Zhou Jianjun was very proud, thinking that his majesty had frightened him, so he said old-fashionedly: "Check it out. If you find it out, you can kill this rumor and set the record straight. The group's goal this year is very big, so it can't be sloppy." !"

Fang Qiwen didn't listen to the following words at all, and asked tentatively: "Chairman, you said...you said that the police comrades were invited by Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Jianjun's aura faltered, and he couldn't hold back his face.

Wu Gaoyi smiled and said: "Yes, it was Xiao Zhou, Zhou Buqi suggested it. He feels that the current internal atmosphere of the group is not very good. It is better to delay the business development for two years, but also to clean up the internal problems. Anne."

That's pretty clear.

It's time for surgery.

Fang Qiwen felt that his legs were numb, he couldn't walk, he was in a daze, and panicked.
