Xu Lin is the editor and reporter of this entertainment magazine. When she heard her colleagues exclaiming, the familiar name made her react first and rushed over quickly.
"Where is it? Let me take a look."
Then I saw the report on the computer. It was a relatively long news report. It briefly introduced Zhou Chen, and then highlighted the details of Zhou Chen’s donation, etc. There was also a picture of Zhou Chen wearing formal clothes.
, a frontal photo with a solemn expression.
A large group of people had gathered around, and other colleagues who had not crowded over began to search for news on their computers and chattered among them.
The more people saw it, the louder the comments and exclamations became.
"Who is this Zhou Chen? He personally donated one billion, and the two companies under his name combined to donate more than two billion in money and materials. If you calculate it like this, doesn't it mean that he alone donated three billion?
More than one billion?"
"Oh my God, more than three billion. Does this guy's family own a bank? Even if he owns a bank, he can't be so crazy, right?"
"There is no doubt that this kind of donation is definitely the largest amount of donations in the country and even the world."
"Who has information about this Zhou Chen? If anyone can have news about this person now, it will definitely be a hot topic, and no other superstars can compare with it."
"…………"
Discussions came one after another. After reading the news, Xu Lin quickly left the crowd and walked to a remote place. He took out his mobile phone and started calling Wang Ying abroad.
She knew that Zhou Chen was very rich, but she was still frightened when she saw that Zhou Chen had donated so much money. Could it be that Zhou Chen was donating money in a way that would lead to bankrupting his family?
So now she really wants to ask Wang Ying to find out what is going on. How can anyone donate like this? How can others donate?
The news about Zhou Chen's donation instantly became one of the biggest hot topics in the country, and Zhou Chen and his company received numerous official praises and awards.
‘Patriotic businessman’, ‘great philanthropist’, ‘best young man’…………
Countless titles were attached to Zhou Chen. In just a short period of time, Zhou Chen became a household name in the country, and all of them were positive.
Someone soon discovered that Zhou Chen's donation was handled by a senior official in Shanghai, Wei. At the same time, Zhou Chen's identity and background were soon discovered.
But as Zhou Chen's identity was uncovered, it caused a huge sensation, and the discussion about Zhou Chen on the Internet surpassed countless hot topics.
"Zhou Chen, born in 1982, is a Chinese-American, a former resident of Denghua Hutong in the Capital City. He immigrated to the United States at the age of thirteen. He graduated from Stanford University and worked as an exchange student at Beiqing University for two years. He has...
Two major group companies, Chenxing Capital and Chenxing Pharmaceutical Group..."
When people learned about Zhou Chen's resume, they were even more shocked, because Zhou Chen is only twenty-six years old this year. Most of the young people at this age have just graduated and started working for a few years, but Zhou Chen has already reached this level.
the height of.
"Idol, I declare that Zhou Chen is now my idol. When it comes to foreign Chinese, who can be more generous than Zhou Chen?"
"You are so handsome. If I had a husband like this, I could shorten my life by fifty years."
"What does it mean to be in Cao's camp and to be in Han's heart? Handsome guy Zhou has taught us such a lesson now."
"Who is a celebrity or a patriotic entrepreneur? Who can compare to Zhou Chen? Although I am not as rich as others, I have the same patriotism as him. I have a deposit of 12,000 and a donation of 10,000..."
"…………"
In the Pancake Monster store, Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao leaned on their heads and looked at the comments on the news. Almost 99% of them were compliments, but there were also some malicious comments posted randomly.
Because Xie Qiao did not go to work in a publishing house, he naturally would not have gone to Sichuan Province to collect news at this time, and would not have been involved in this disaster.
Xie Qiao leaned back in his chair, his face full of shock.
"Zhou Chen is really famous now."
Qin Chuan also said with emotion: "Yes, if he debuts while taking advantage of the popularity, he will be a real superstar."
Xie Qiao said angrily: "What superstar can compare to him? I always knew that Zhou Chen was rich, but I never thought that he was so rich. You said he donated all this time
If there are more than three billion, how much money does he have to have?"
Qin Chuan pondered: "I don't know about this, but if he can donate so much money, I guess his net worth must be at least one to two billion or more."
"Hey, Qin Chuan, how much does the richest man in our country make?"
"I don't know how much money the richest man has, but what I am sure of is that even if he has more money than Zhou Chen, he will never be able to donate so much money."
Qin Chuan sighed: "I thought our family owed eight million, which was already scary. But look at Zhou Chen. His donation amounted to several billion. Comparing one person to another is so irritating."
Xie Qiao said: "The key is that Zhou Chen is not only rich, but also patriotic and kind-hearted. If you look at the women on the Internet, they look like they are crazy and want to give birth to monkeys for Zhou Chen. Unfortunately, they don't know that Zhou Chen
Chen is already married, and it is really worthwhile for Wang Ying to marry Zhou Chen in this life."
"Yes, I admit now that Zhou Chen is indeed more handsome than me."
The Qin family, Qin Jianjun and his wife, Qin Qian and Tan Hui also saw the news on TV.
Qin Jianjun exclaimed: "I didn't expect that this boy from the old Zhou family would be so successful now. His donations are in hundreds of millions. It's scary."
Qin Qian held her chin and said, "It's really scary. He was actually the same class as me when we were younger. Now that I think about it, it's really incredible."
Although Tan Hui didn't speak, his eyes were full of shock. He thought to himself that if he could live like Zhou Chen, his life would be really worth it.
Zhou Chen's news has always been high on the Internet. It was not until the start of the 2008 Olympic Games that the popularity slowly declined.
In a prison somewhere in the capital, Wang Gui was called out and then informed that he had received a commutation of his sentence for a certain period of time, which surprised him very much.
Although the affairs of the Wang family came to an end due to the death of Wang Ying's father, Wang Gui could not escape and was locked up. He thought he would be like this for the rest of his life, but he never expected that he could still get something without doing anything.
Commutation of sentence.
It wasn't until he inquired that he realized that his sentence was reduced not because of how well he performed, but because something big happened some time ago. This made him understand that the reason for his reduction was because of his niece-in-law.
, which made him deeply emotional and regretful at the same time.
Zhou Chen had mentioned to him the cutting of corners and materials in the project at the beginning, but he didn't take it seriously at all. Who would have thought that this niece-in-law could see further than he did, and he also knew better than him the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace.
At this point, he was still in Zhou Chen's favor, and he was really in tears.
In October 2008, Zhou Chen, as the chairman of Chenxing Capital, announced that Chenxing Capital would conduct its first round of financing within the next two months.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, and even caused quite a stir in the business circles of the United States.
Zhou Chen is no longer a small person now. The previous donation incident not only gave him a huge reputation in the country, but also made him famous around the world. With a little investigation, you will know that Chen Xing is named after him.

Especially when the international economic situation is not good, Chenxing Capital is one of the few companies that has not declined in the financial crisis, but has been developing upwards.
So after Zhou Chen announced his financing plan, countless business giants rushed to find him, wanting to spend money to participate in the financing.
In order to expand his momentum, Zhou Chen even found many institutions to value Chenxing Capital and spent a lot of money, causing the valuation of Chenxing Capital to skyrocket. The astonishing valuation discouraged many people, but it also made many more people hesitate.

Chenxing Capital was originally Zhou Chen's sole proprietorship, but later allocated 5% of the original shares to some senior executives, so he had 95% of the shares. In this financing, he
He directly took out 35% of the shares, while retaining 60% of the shares.
This is Chenxing Capital’s first financing.
In fact, Zhou Chen doesn't really want to take out so many shares at once, but he has no choice. The development of Chenxing Capital has been restricted recently. If he wants to break this deadlock, he must give up something. Only by taking out enough shares can he attract
More capital giants will strengthen Chenxing Capital.
After two months, the first round of financing officially ended. In the end, Chenxing Capital raised funds at a valuation of US$10.2 billion. In fact, this number was also affected by the financial crisis. Otherwise, it could have been higher. However, Zhou Chen has already
Quite satisfied.
In the first round of financing, Zhou Chen introduced a total of five capitals, all of which he carefully selected. They were either consortiums with amazing financial resources, or they were influential and beneficial to the company's development.
