From New Media to Investment Partner

In the summer of 2014, Zhou Yan accidentally entered the primary market as a "new media operator". Five years in the turmoil and two years of cold winter, he used 300 drafts, four boxes of ledgers and an A4 paper with 12% written on it to walk from the folding chair in the corner of the conference room to the investment committee table. On one side is the 1.2 Billion track lie, on the other is the industrial wastewater company that has only increased by 20% in twenty years; on the other side is the rush of arbitrage, subsidies and fraud, and on the other side is the slow process of order rejection, experimentation and forty-seven failures. This is not a "counterattack" story - it tells the story of how a graduate from the Chinese Department mastered the art of "reading texts" between countless desks. It's not the smartest people who make the cut, it's the people who have survived the cycle.
