Chapter 760 Charity

Cheng Tianqiao's visit was very sudden. Several people talked about some irrelevant words, which was not much nutrition in Zhou Shi's opinion. As a billionaire and a big boss who started from scratch, he had his own opinions. Even if Zhou Shi said, even if he told him what he would become in the next few years, Cheng Tianqiao would still do what he wanted. This world cannot be successful with wisdom. Why have strategists from ancient times to the present and the same wisdom can have different effects in different hands.

In fact, there are many people in China who have excellent strategic ideas, but they can unswervingly believe in themselves and implement them with unyielding courage. Jack Ma is such a person. Robin Lee and Little Ma Ge actually have no setbacks in the success of them. These two people lack accumulation and precipitation, and their ideological and moral levels are not worthy of their current status. When a company reaches a certain level, it must bear certain social responsibilities. However, these two companies do not seem to know anything about other things except knowing how to make money. Perhaps they think that the only responsibility of running a company is to make money and make more money for shareholders.

It is no wonder that the situation in China is "domestic and foreign society", but the mature system that others have evolved over the past hundred years is far from being copied by some of our elites. What's more terrifying is that these people only see some appearances and give up their ideals. Zhou Shi does not understand the social situation in the United States, so he will never interfere in the specific operation at will, and even interfere with the details of the product. This is also one of the reasons why Yahoo's stock price is stable and the US financial media praises Zhou Shi. At least Yahoo's current management has been recognized by the media and investors.

Before Yahoo announced the acquisition of 1inkedin, there were a lot of media reports on this commercial social networking site, knowing that this was the largest workplace social networking site after F, with nearly 150 million users worldwide.

As news of the acquisition came out, the specific plan was announced, Yahoo's stock price suddenly soared. A few days later, Yahoo's market value once again exceeded 400 million US dollars. The next one was interviewed by various media. Fortunately, Zhou Shi stepped down as Yahoo CEO, which reduced him a lot of trouble.

At the same time, the revised Yahoo News, f1ickr and Yahootong mobile versions have been greatly controversial. Those who like it are very much like it, and those who hate it are very annoying. However, the analysis concluded that most of the annoying people are already accustomed to the old version, and the new users who like it account for the majority. No matter what, whether they like it or hate it, the download usage of these apps has increased, and the decline has accounted for the top few major application markets.

"Congratulations, you did a great job at Yahoo!" Buffett, at another charity dinner, Buffett called Zhou Shi to chat. Zhou Shi, who became Yahoo's largest shareholder and controlled Yahoo's board of directors to a certain extent, spent several months to carry out drastic reforms on Yahoo, cut off a series of marginal businesses, and gave the advantageous core businesses a greater glory. Although Yahoo's profitability has been greatly impacted and this fiscal year is almost destined to suffer losses, Yahoo, which has regained its vitality, is obviously more optimistic.

"Thank you, I haven't done enough!" Zhou Shi said modestly, in fact, it's not humble. The group buying business is just a mine, and it will definitely explode next year and the year after. How to find a burst point in a year to make up for the impact of group buying not meeting expectations? This has become Zhou Shi's top priority.

"You Chinese just like modesty, this is really not a good habit!" Buffett

"This is formed by our different cultural backgrounds, and it is also because I have great expectations for Yahoo, but I am not satisfied with Yahoo now!" Zhou Shi

"You still have time, enough for you to achieve your goals!" Buffett

"Thank you, I hope so." Zhou Shi

"I heard you want to dissolve the Zhuque Fund?" Buffett, no matter how much this hedge fund is, it will take time to close the position and clear the position. However, investors have been notified and the matter is still being processed further. Many people do not want the Zhuque Fund to be liquidated. However, Zhou Shi would rather Xinghe Capital not make a penny and cut off this business, and he will definitely not give up because of the investors' ideas.

"Yes, I hope to withdraw from all high-risk speculation at the group level. Even if there is such speculation in the future, I will be isolated. I will not participate in such activities." Zhou Shi explained

"I heard that most of Xinghe Capital's profits are obtained from the Zhuque Fund. If you do this, the returns of Xinghe Capital will definitely drop significantly. Don't you regret it?" Buffett said.

"Repent that is the future. I have to do what I feel is right now." Zhou Shi, how could he regret it? If Zhuque had a genius, he could not keep it. If there were no genius, it would be difficult to make money in the future. Since this is the case, why should he regret it?

"I didn't expect that you have such courage at your age, which is really admirable!" Buffett

Zhou Shi didn't know much about Buffett's life, and no one talked about it to him, and didn't know how to praise him, um, ah, deal with it. Isn't this asking him to sell Alibaba's shares now, what courage does he have?

"Berlankfan talks to me about your selling friend's website, Twitter and Marvel's decisiveness, a Chinese man is particularly a yellow man. Munger and I are very impressed by how great he can achieve in the United States!" Buffett

"Maybe the times gave me such an opportunity. If it weren't for the openness and inclusiveness of Silicon Valley, and if it wasn't for the huge impact of the subprime mortgage crisis on European and American society, I wouldn't have achieved my current achievements." Zhou Shi, whether it was patents or high-tech enterprises, if it weren't for this special period, even if Zhou Shi suppressed Aoguanhai correctly, there wouldn't be many opportunities for success. Only a serious financial crisis like subprime mortgage is the best opportunity to break the old order. Such opportunities are once in a few decades, far from comparable to the bursting of the Internet bubble in the early 21st century. Perhaps only the Asian financial crisis in 1997 was similar. However, one acted on Southeast Asian countries and the other acted on Europe and the United States. If there were no opportunities like subprime mortgage crisis, it might be possible that Zhou Shi's current achievements might not be able to pay several times the price.

The two continued to chat, and Buffett praised Zhou Shi without any trace.

"By the way, what do you think of charity?" Buffett

"Charity, this may be a kind of resistance to society. If one day the world no longer needs charity, it is the greatest charity!" Zhou Shi

Buffett obviously didn't expect Zhou Shi to answer like this, and choked, "I hope there will be one day, but now it's still far from that goal." Buffett didn't expect Zhou Shi to say such fake and empty words, but he didn't know that big talk is a fine tradition of China. It could be achieved by yielding tens of thousands of pounds acres a few decades ago, and what else is not possible!
