Reborn: Billionaire in College

With the instant success of "Genshin Impact", more and more people have paid attention to MiHoYo Studio, its founders, and their entrepreneurial journey.

Despite the predecessor "Honkai Impact 2", the influence brought by "Genshin Impact" now cannot be compared.

Now miHoYo has broken out of its circle.

Let me give you a similar analogy.

When "Nezha 1" was not popular, who knew who Jiaozi was?
After looking up MiHoYo's entrepreneurial history on the Internet, I went to Tianyan to check MiHoYo's equity structure.

The sounds of people gasping in amazement and the sound of their hearts being shattered could be heard incessantly.

Actually!

It was Chen Pingjiang who invested again!
Is there any justice left!
A post popped up on Zhihu within two days: "Who can calculate how many companies Chen Pingjiang has invested in and how much money he has now?"

The comments below are varied.

Some say hundreds of billions, some say trillions.

But no matter how much it is, everyone’s consensus is that this person is really rich.

"I did a rough calculation. Forbes may not be able to calculate some of these companies because of cross-holding or multiple holdings. But he is definitely the world's richest man, and his wealth far exceeds the second place Bill Gates' $750 billion."

"Even with the sharp decline in Chinese stocks this year, Renren alone still has a market value of 3000 billion, which means that Chen Pingjiang has nearly 1500 billion US dollars in wealth. Chen Pingjiang can get at least 1200 billion of the 800 billion US dollars valuation of Orange Technology. Renrengou has a market value of 700 billion US dollars, and Chen Pingjiang can get about 420 billion US dollars. The rest includes a bunch of unlisted companies such as AutoNavi, ByteDance, Zhizhen Catering, and investments by DJI. I think the final number will be no less than 3500 billion to 4000 billion US dollars."

"..."

Chen Pingjiang controlled the upper right corner of the mouse and clicked X, closing the Zhihu webpage.

This generation of netizens is really getting more and more boring, always guessing how much money other people have.

When money reaches a certain order of magnitude, aren’t they all book numbers? Not to mention that they are all shares.

After two years when Chinese stocks collectively shrink, my net worth will go down.

What's more, at that time, the seven giants of the US stock market climbed up again.

Perhaps he had a lot of money in his private piggy bank and was not short of money for the time being. Apart from cashing out after Renren went public, Chen Pingjiang relied on the money in his private piggy bank for investments at other times.

There are failed projects too, they are just overshadowed by greater successes.

Chen Pingjiang believes that his driving force is no longer money.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to invest wildly in real estate a few years ago, or even buy 2025 bitcoins and hold them until before selling them?
…………

A small meeting of extraordinary significance is being held in the conference room on the 28th floor of Building A of the Twin Towers.

Participants in the meeting included Chen Pingjiang, Lin Bin, Zhang Yiming, and an eight-member think tank team.

The personnel composition of this think tank is also very interesting.

A lawyer with experience studying in the United States, a Chinese who has worked on Wall Street, a professor at a certain Sino-US relations research institute, in addition to international relations, third-party consulting companies, etc.

Bu Housheng introduced: "According to yesterday's news, Trump has secured the nomination and will officially run for the election. The main purpose of inviting everyone here today is to analyze which of the two candidates has a greater chance of winning. If Trump wins, what impact will it have on international trade, international relations and even our products?" The professor, who has been studying Sino-US relations, is still a little uncomfortable with the fact that a company has organized such a big proposition. He thinks that it is a bit worrying.

"Well, judging from the current data, Trump doesn't seem to have much hope of winning, but it's still early to November, and anything that happens in between could change the situation. However... Trump has roughly announced his election strategy in his previous speeches, emphasizing America first and hoping to take a tougher stance against our country. If he really wins, it will obviously not be a good thing for us. But I don't know what will happen and to what levels it will radiate, yet."

After him, the think tank team spoke one after another.

The views are similar.

Chen Pingjiang, who was sitting in the main seat, listened attentively but never said a word.

This will be what he has saved, and it is currently being patched.

He couldn't suddenly do a lot of defensive operations, otherwise it would make his subordinates feel strange, but he could express his ideas through his think tank team.

Then, use the argument to radiate outward.

After the meeting, he left Lin Bin and Zhang Yiming alone and asked with a smile: "How was it, what do you think after listening to it?"

Lin Bin nodded: "If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries! You worry too much. You worry about poor performance and poor management, and now you have to worry about this. But I think it is necessary. It never hurts to make preparations in advance."

Zhang Yiming: "I really didn't pay attention to these things before, but today I feel like I've suddenly realized something. You, Mr. Chen, are in charge of studying strategies, and we are in charge of execution."

Chen Pingjiang led the two to his office and said as they walked:

"TikToK has done very well in the past six months, but don't be blinded by the beauty in front of you. Google and Facebook are actively planning short video projects. Once they find that they can't win, they will definitely resort to shady tactics from other places. I suggest you first form a strong team of lawyers in the United States and start arguing when the time comes. When necessary, let Sequoia and General Atlantic come forward. Aren't they shareholders? They should do the work at this time, otherwise it will not be so easy to get a bargain.

"As for Lao Lin, if a war really breaks out, Orange will definitely be the one that suffers the most. The reason is that we have taken Apple's job and repeatedly made Apple suffer. Moreover, we are not like Samsung, where all the employees are from Wall Street. Once they use national security against you and completely block you, you have to think about whether you can cope with it."

Listening to the boss's alarmist words, Lin Bin couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chen, is it that serious? A country wouldn't deal with a company so blatantly, right?"

Chen Pingjiang laughed and didn’t blame Lin Bin. After all, who could believe such a thing if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes?
"Think about how Alstom collapsed. Don't be so naive. Always assume the worst and make the worst-case scenario plans so that you won't be caught off guard when the tsunami hits. Don't plan to go on business trips to the United States in the next few years."

"Okay, Mr. Chen."

This conversation felt very strange to Lin Bin and Zhang Yiming.

It seems that the big boss has always been pessimistic about the relationship between the two countries, and seems to be certain that one of the two tigers will fight.

This made the two of them feel as if they were in a time and space confusion. After all... it seemed that the relationship between the two countries was pretty good recently.

But since the big boss has given the order, we must do the preparatory work in advance as required.

……

……

Looking at the backs of the two as they left, Chen Pingjiang guessed that they still felt that they had gone a little too far.

But there is no other way, he must create this kind of speech environment within the group... (End of this chapter)
