In the past year, Zhou Shi once again pretended to give 5% of Yahoo's shares to Xinghe Sixiang. Through some complicated transactions, his charitable trust acquired Shi Guang's debts into a form similar to preferred stocks. The process is complicated, but the result is very simple, that is, the company under Time Holdings pays 1% to 5% of its revenue to Zhou Shi's charitable trust and charitable funds in the form of dividends or bond interest. There is no fixed term, maybe forever!

However, even if Zhou Shi only has 30% of Yahoo's shares, he still became the world's richest man in 2018. This is because Guokr's mobile phone and tablet business stabilized at this time, and it was not defeated by the competition of Apple iPhone. Moreover, Guokr's accessories business, such as Harman headphones, speakers, driverless and drone businesses, has received more and more attention, and the business revenue of mobileye and DJI soared in 2017! Even Guokr's notebook business performed better and better with the support of win10. This is not the success of a product, but the success of a brand!

Guoke must have been well-known to the public at the beginning because of smartphones, but how to convert it into a brand driver requires more effort. From the popularity of Jackson to the current celebrities, Guoke's global advertising spending is more than three times that of Apple. In terms of design, there are more and more differences in the minimalist design of Guoke and Apple. Oriental elements, especially oriental Taoist elements, have been widely used in Guoke's products, forming a unique cultural mark.

The valuation of a branded company and an unbranded company is different. Guoke's market value has greatly improved in the growth of the Guoke brand. By 2018, the market value had exceeded US$300 billion! This is simply a miracle. You should know that Intel's market value is less than US$200 billion, and Samsung Electronics' market value is only between US$250 and US$300 billion. Guoke's market value has reached its current level in such a short period of time...

Thirty percent of stocks with a market value of US$350 billion, nine percent of the market value of US$300 billion, this is Zhou Shiming's assets, about US$130 billion. It surpasses Buffett, Bill Gai and Mexican rich, and also surpasses Bezos. Bezos' shares in Amazon have been greatly reduced due to Zhou Shi's joining. There may be 12% of the shares, and basically does not have the conditions to challenge Zhou Shi, unless Amazon's market value exceeds one trillion or Yahoo, Guoke fails one after another. However, with Yahootong, Yahoo Search/Email, Toutiao and other applications with more than one billion users, and Yahoo payment/financial services with great potential, Yahoo will not fail within at least five years. Therefore, it is difficult for Bezos to challenge Zhou Shi's position as the richest man in the world within at least five years.

Some people always think that there are many things hidden behind this world, and it is correct to think so, but it is unrealistic to think that many people, especially top rich people, will hide it. Most of the wealth is concentrated in enterprises. If there is no enterprise, there is only cash, so there is no power. How can cash work? No one thinks that if you have money, you can do whatever you want and pass on it for generations, right?

Although the financial market is large, and the funds circulate every day are massive, most of the funds have fixed uses, just like rivers leaving from the mountains to the ocean, rather than from the ocean to the mountains. Zhou Shi could use the advantage of a prophet to intercept some of the river water from the mountain torrents, but it was impossible to drain the entire river, and it was even more impossible to drain the sea. The biggest achievement was to actively form a tributary! During the mountain torrent, many small ponds may accumulate water, but if there is no continuous water inflow, both ponds and lakes may dry up.

Aristocrats with only cash and no power are like small ponds formed unexpectedly, and there will always be a day when they dry up. Zhou Shi had to invest in high-tech even if he lost money. His purpose was to build a strong protective umbrella for himself. Just like the chairman of Futukang, who has millions of workers in the flower planting family. As long as he does not directly rebel, he will be treated preferentially wherever he is. After all, employment in this society is really important to a country. The Industrial Women's Federation may be forced to take the path of robots, but for a country, once it completes such a transformation, the value of the company will drop a lot. Well, this does not mean that the company's market value will decline. The stock price and the company's market value reflect the profitability of a company, but for a country and region, the market value of a company is difficult to reflect the role of the company in promoting the economy.

No one will refuse the title of the richest man in the world. It can greatly promote a person's popularity. If it is said to be mysterious, it may even be related to a person's luck. The richest man in the world can naturally support credit. Unless a world-class rich man in Mexico, a fool knows that he has achieved his current achievements through improper competition and monopoly advantages, and his wealth is not widely recognized, so it has no effect. If he can occupy the position of the richest man in the world for a long time, the effect will be very prominent. For example, Bill Gaizi, many people's first impression is that he is the richest man in the world...

Fame and fortune should be the pursuit of most people in this world. Zhou Shi's wealth has reached the top of the world. It is too dangerous to pursue more wealth. Even if you don't give up, you will artificially slow down. Then, pursuing fame is a very natural choice at this time. Fame and fortune can be converted to each other to a certain extent, and "fame" can protect a person to a certain extent. Chelsea is Abraham's efforts to protect his own safety.

Zhou Shi's fame is actually great enough. At least anyone who cares about technology and economy around the world knows that he is like him. For example, he won the ace charity project Ant Forest. To date, 80 million trees have been planted worldwide and has been praised by the United Nations.

The time version of Ant Forest is bound to WeChat/Yahoo Pay, etc., but it can generate energy through consumption and also through exercise. Moreover, it is not limited to Alipay, and the production speed has increased greatly. However, because of the cultivation of seedlings, some tree species have to be treated with juveniles. In addition, the staff and various actual conditions have been restricted, the scale of Ant Forest planting has not been allowed to exceed 100 million trees. However, it is obvious that as time goes by, more and more people pay attention to and join this project, and the expansion speed of Ant Forest will increase greatly.
