From boy next door to Internet upstart

Zhou, 40, took the helm of TikTok two years ago. He spent most of his career in investment banking and venture capital.

Chow Shouzi was born in Singapore on January 1, 1983. He has an ordinary family background with his moon and earth squares. ButMercury is outstanding. After all, Mercury's boss is Mars. He was smart since childhood. He scored high in the Singapore National Examination at the age of 12. He attended the star school Singapore Overseas Chinese High School. After completing Singapore's compulsory military service, he moved to the UK and entered London. Studying at the University Department of Economics. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in economics, he found a job as an investment banker at Goldman Sachs in London.

In 2008, Zhou Shouzi resigned and entered Harvard Business School.

The acquired nobility is very strong, especially Jupiter, so he is not only strong, but also very lucky. In 2009, when Zhou was still at Harvard University, he interned at a then-small start-up technology company called Facebook.

A few years later, Zhou Shouzi and Zuckerberg became the heads of their respective application software, and both suffered repeated bombardments from Congressmen.

After receiving his MBA degree, Zhou Shouzi joined the Russian international investment fund Digital Sky Technology (DST) as a partner, leading a team that later became an early investor in ByteDance in 2013. Because he is fluent in Chinese and English, he has become a docking window in China. The companies he has invested in include Xiaomi, JD.com, Alibaba, Didi Dache, etc.

Zhou Shouzi later served as the chief financial officer and president of international business of the mainland mobile phone giant Xiaomi, and promoted Xiaomi to go public in 2018, thus making a name for himself in the technology industry.

Former boss Lei Jun once commented thatZhou Shouzi, who has the Moon and Earth square, has a kind of diligence that is like taking revenge on the world. During Zhou Shouzi’s tenure at Xiaomi, the company was in the midst of its IPO. He recorded every investor he met in Excel, eventually listing 1,500 rows. At Xiaomi's 10th anniversary celebration in 2020, Lei Jun announced internally that 37-year-old Zhou Shouzi became Xiaomi's youngest partner, marking the beginning of Xiaomi's next decade.

In May 2021, Zhou Shouzi was appointed as the CEO of TikTok. At that time, TikTokk has been severely suppressed by the US government, and even former CEO Kevin Mayer was forced to flee.

However, Zhou Shouzi has the courage to shoulder the heavy responsibility and leads TikTok to achieve stable growth in a complex and risky market environment.

Zhou Shouzi can be called the working emperor. It is said that his annual salary is as high as 100 million US dollars, nearly 700 million yuan. With Chinese ancestry, Singaporean nationality, a graduate from a prestigious British and American school, and a Wall Street gold collar, Zhou Shouzi has a very shining label.

Calm and calm - Water, Earth, Moon T-square

Four and a half hours of question and answer session, Netizens were worried whether Zhou Shouzi was thirsty.

Netizens said that Zhou Shouzi answered the idiot questions from the congressmen very well, but he himself preferred his confused face when he heard the idiot questions from the congressmen. He works so hard to answer stupid questions from members of Congress.

Some netizens turned Zhou Shouzi into an emoticon to show their protest against the members of Congress.

A blogger specially made a video to analyze why Zhou Shouzi became a new male star in an instant not only because of his good image, but also because of the poor image of congressional representatives...

< p>When compared, the gap is revealed:

Do you know why everyone fell in love with him in an instant, and this man gained 100,000 followers overnight?

Because at this hearing, other people did not respect him at all and kept interrupting him, but he still behaved humbly and professionally.

The representatives at the hearing simply confirmed that other people’s impressions of the United States are offensive and unreasonable; they don’t use TikTok at all and know nothing about it. I don’t understand why people are qualified to decide it. fate.

They asked a lot of idiotic questions, but Mr. Zhou was always very patient and calmly answered those questions that required complicated answers, calmly and calmly.

Going back to that hearing, it was not so much a hearing as a question with obvious hostility from US lawmakers. Faced with a barrage of aggressive questions, Zhou Shouzi calmly answered them one by one, although his answers were frequently interrupted arbitrarily and unreasonably. Some media commented afterwards that Zhou Shouzi's calmness and patience were impressive.

Compared with Zuckerberg’s unsmiling robot answer and Toyota Motor Chairman Akio Toyoda’s almost crying performance, Zhou withstood the test.

During the five-and-a-half-hour hearing, Zhou Shouzi’s attitude was always sincere and clear. But obviously, his answer failed to satisfy members of the House of Representatives from both parties.

Meta CEO Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Google CEO Sundar Pichai have all attended hearings in recent years due to antitrust, privacy violations, data leaks, etc. .

Among theseThe most widely circulated incident was Zuckerberg's 2018 House and Senate hearings. Because his expression was too stiff, he was ridiculed by the public like a robot. At that time, Facebook was facing a scandal of abusing the private data of the company's 87 million users. A few years later, when Zuckerberg recalled the incident in a podcast, he lamented that the Senate hearing was not an environment that emphasized human nature. Sitting there for six or seven hours, it was difficult to control his expression.

At the end of the hearing, Zhou Shouzi’s frown finally relaxed, and the marathon finally came to an end. He put away his pen and paper, stood up, shook hands and nodded with the people behind him, until he walked out of the venue.

Many technology company executives in the United States have testified before Congress, and it was generally not easy.

But this four-and-a-half-hour hearing was simply the most difficult of all. There are a lot of vitriol and vicious attacks... and incredible questions.

There are several dialogues that immediately became popular.

A Georgia congressional representative asked: Does TikTok use mobile phone cameras to track users’ biometric data?

Congress Representative: No?

Zhou Shouzi: The only time we collect facial data is when you use a filter like sunglasses, and we need to know where your eyes are.

Congress Representative: It’s hard for me to believe you... If you don’t collect user data, how do you know the age of your users?

Zhou Shouzi: ...because users provided their age when registering an account?

In another video with more than 13 million views, a North Carolina representative asked: Will TikTok connect to home wifi?

Zhou Shouzi: We only connect when the user turns on wifi...? Sorry, I didn't understand what you meant.

Congress Representative: If I have TikTok on my phone and the phone is connected to wifi, then TikTok will be connected to the network, right?

Zhou Shouzi: Well...it needs to be connected to wifi to connect to the Internet, if that's your problem.

Congress Representative: Does that mean it can connect to other facilities using this wifi (steal user information)?

Zhou Shouzi: ...We will not do anything that violates industry regulations. I believe the answer to this question is NO.

Moon and Earth square - family influence

It can be said that this is a businessman growth process.

Every time I eat delicious food, the first thought is: take a photo and pass it home.people.

According to an insider familiar with Zhou Shouzi, he is too busy working in Beijing and rarely has time to go home. To find some comfort for yourself, put a photo of your family in the office and set the screen saver on your phone to look like your family.

However, none of this eased the pain of leaving his hometown.

It is understood that Zhou Shouzi has a habit. Every time he eats something good, he will take a photo and send it to his family. He will also add: Next time we come again, I will treat everyone to eat.

I just don’t know when I can see my family again.

Although Xiaomi's achievements are very valuable, after leaving his hometown for 18 years, what Zhou Shouzi wants most is to reunite with his family.

In the United States, compared with social media giants such as Facebook’s Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Musk, the public knows little about Asian-faced Zhou Shouzi. Most Americans may have heard of Zhou Shouzi for the first time. If he hadn't been questioned by Congress this week and posted a video on social media talking directly to American users of TikTok, even ordinary people would not know about it. who is he.

However, Zhou Shouzi is well respected in the technology circles in the United States and China. Due to his background in investment banking and experience in Facebook and DST Global, he is considered to be very suitable for TikTok.
