All kinds of bigwigs have an ordinary side. Zhou Shi and Cao Guowei have been talking a lot, but they are bragging randomly anyway. One reason Zhou Shi chose to start a sharing economy is that it has reached the hot spot. In a few years, a company's valuation has gone from zero to 10 billion, which is more likely to be group buying and sharing economy. Regardless of whether it can succeed or not, first occupy this hot spot and see if the pigs in the hot spot can fly.

Sina and Focus Media’s acquisitions have been a hot topic in the past few months, and Fuxing and Guo Guangchang have also been involved. However, literally, you can know that Sina’s acquisition of Focus Media is what the hell is it? Are the two companies complementary? Only when your mind is in trouble will there be such an acquisition. Therefore, when Zhou Shi said that the management team’s mbo was calm on the outside but still very nervous on the inside. If a giant like Xinghe Capital falls in love with them, it is difficult to explain the risks in this. In the financial battle, let your opponent know your strategic purpose and trump card. Even if you don’t die, you will have to lose your skin.

There was not much gain in the idle talk between Cao Guowei and Zhou Shi, and Zhou Shi did not make any requests, and even the matter of Sina's management mbo was not mentioned. At this time, Sina's chairman was Wang Yan, and Cao Guowei was just a ceo. After the management mbo, Wang Yan would abdicate and give way to the wise. Zhou Shi's actions were very abrupt. Cao Guowei, who was unable to understand the situation, had to ask for help from others, such as Jiang Nanxia of Focus Media.

Focus Media is a building advertising company with a market value of only about one billion US dollars. As the leader of a market segment, Jiang Nanchun is still very competent. However, he is better at capital operations rather than business operations. Moreover, spam messages are rampant, business was frustrated during the financial crisis, and revenues dropped sharply. The company's market value has gone from US$8 billion to around US$800 million now. Sina's acquisition of some of Focus Media's business happened in this situation.

Jiang Nanxia didn't know Zhou Shi either. Everyone had different levels. One was a world-renowned big shot, and the other was a big player in the segmented market. It was normal for him to have no intersection. However, he thought of his classmate at the Yangtze Business School, Guo Guangchang of Fuxing. Guo Guangchang invested in Focus Media for more than 300 million US dollars, becoming the largest shareholder of Focus Media, accounting for 28.65% of the shares.

"Zhou Shi? What's wrong with him?" Guo Guangchang thought of this little brother who played Tai Chi with him and suddenly became the richest man in the country, and was also full of emotion. Zhou Shi and Ma Ali were familiar with him, and Ma Ali and Guo Guangchang became familiar with him, which made Guo Guangchang and Zhou Shi familiar with him again. This is how people are. Some people who have no intersection will always come together for various reasons.

"He suddenly made an appointment with Cao Guowei and said he wanted to cooperate with him and set up a company to compete with Twitter China." Jiang Nanchun

"Isn't Twitter theirs?" Guo Guangchang sometimes really envies Zhou Shi. The companies established are all internationally renowned and influential, and the conferences they attend are all Davos, and they have become a member of the semi-official organization of the China Entrepreneur Club at a young age. I don't know what kind of achievements will be for decades.

"I don't know, Cao Guowei can't explain it clearly, but judging from Penguin's investment, Twitter Huaxia is not close to friends of Time, so there may be something in between." Jiang Nanxia was not familiar with Zhou Shi's initial entrepreneurial journey. At that time, he was the pride of the domestic financial industry, and many people surrounded him to report.

"I'll go find someone to ask!" Guo Guangchang hung up Jiang Nanxia's phone number and then called Ma Ali. A small thing spread almost half of the Internet.

Zhou Shi quickly received a call from Guo Guangchang.

"Why do we need to cooperate with Zhalang? Is there any reason for cooperation?" Zhou Shi was inexplicably received a call from Guo Guangchang. I set up a Weibo account, which is related to your bird's business.

"Then can I join?" Guo Guangchang

"Yes, I welcome anyone with sincerity! But after we start a round of financing, the price will not be cheap." Zhou Shi

"Can't you join now?" Guo Guangchang thought, with the support of time and Zhou Shi's joining, the probability of success on Weibo is very high. As long as you can invest, you will almost certainly make money.

"I have money, skills, talents, resources, and people with Zhalang, and experience. What can you convince us? Or do you want to find Zhalang to share?" Zhou Shi said directly

"You are so rude, I've taught you Tai Chi at least." Guo Guangchang

"Brother, if we don't have a pious and cautious attitude towards career and always pay attention to various human relationships and worldly ways, how much energy can we put into doing things? I don't have this ability, so life is life, and work is work!" Zhou Shi said seriously.

"Hey, your success makes sense, it's me that's wrong!" Guo Guangchang

"There is nothing right or wrong, just a different personal concept." Zhou Shi

"You really don't have any ideas about Sina?" Guo Guangchang

"Brother Guo! What do you think is the use of us to acquire Zhalang? Do you make money? We have more and better ways, that is, we want to attract some business for Tianhe Securities in China and cultivate some financial talents for China." Zhou Shi is not lying. Tianhe Securities has absorbed many financial talents from international students and returned to China to explore the market. Although they do not have the qualifications of securities companies, there are still many businesses that are not very profitable. Also, this year's GEM, Tianhe Securities and Sixiang Fund can participate in pre-ipo (before investing in the company's listing, or when the company is expected to be listed in the near future). Companies like LeTV are good targets. Anyway, they are not held for a long time. Moreover, the participants in the financial market are all a group of greedy speculators or fools who do not understand professional knowledge and invest randomly. There is no morality.

Guo Guangchang thought about it and felt that their reaction was a bit too extreme. Not all valuable things will be valued. The slag is really useless to the time system.

"By the way, how is Aig now?" Guo Guangchang thought of this temporarily

"What else can it be done? There is no way to survive except for nationalization." Zhou Shi replied unhappily. This kind of business worth tens of billions of dollars is really not something he can do now.

"Is it that serious?" Guo Guangchang still didn't believe it

"Do you know how much Aig lost in the fourth quarter last year?" Zhou Shi asked with a smile

"How many, $30 billion?" Guo Guangchang guessed that he actually knew something. Aig lost $5.36 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and $24.5 billion in the third quarter. In this way, it would also lose a lot in the fourth quarter.

"According to the data we obtained, Aig's loss in the fourth quarter exceeded US$60 billion. How about it, is it exaggerating?" Zhou Shi

"60 billion US dollars, is this true?" Guo Guangchang took a deep breath of cold air

"Anyway, you will know when you go to see Aig's financial report. They can't hide such things." Zhou Shi

"They will really sell AIA." Guo Guangchang

"It's a pity that we don't have money, and they may even sell American Life." Zhou Shi

"Sell these, what's left of Aig?" Guo Guangchang

"I'm still alive!" Zhou Shi's words were filled with a little helplessness, and there were more or less sad feelings about the dead rabbit and the fox.

The seriousness of the financial crisis obviously exceeded Guo Guangchang's expectations. He asked a little ugly: "Will the financial market continue to decline?"

"How do I know this? You have to ask if the public's confidence is still there! You have to ask if the world's economy will collapse!" Although Zhou Shi did not answer directly, the meaning was almost the same. Aig has the help of the US government, and bankruptcy will not be the case, which means that the interests of Aig's original shareholders are damaged.

"That's fine, that's fine!" Guo Guangchang felt a little relieved. He pursued the concept of counter-trend investment and invested a lot of funds in the financial market. If Wall Street collapsed, he would be uncomfortable.
