就在去年，世界上最有价值的创业公司，ByteDance有限公司正受到来自四面八方的挤压。
的特朗普美国政府想要的是这家拥有无处不在的产品的中国公司TikTok视频分享平台，摆脱资产。北京正在打击科技企业，印度将一些社交媒体应用列入了黑名单。
尽管遇到了种种障碍，字节跳动仍在不断发展。现在，它的创始人，38岁张翳明他是世界上最富有的人之一，这一殊荣近来给中国带来了更大的风险。
据知情人士透露，该公司股票在私募市场上的估值超过2500亿美元。根据彭博亿万富翁指数(Bloomberg Billionaires Index)，持有字节跳动约四分之一股份的张小龙的身价可能超过600亿美元，与腾讯控股有限公司(Tencent Holdings Ltd.)的马化腾(Pony Ma)、瓶装水之王钟珊珊(钟珊珊)以及美国的沃尔顿(Walton)和科赫(Koch)家族成员齐名。
字节跳动以短视频应用程序和新闻聚合器今日头条(Toutiao)而闻名，在将核心广告业务拓展至电乐动扑克子商务和在线游戏等领域后，去年营收增长了一倍多。该公司目前正在权衡一些企业首次公开募股(ipo)的选择。
创投公司新立得创投合伙人马瑞说:“张勇是一个以长远思考著称的人，不会被短期挫折轻易劝阻。”“他决心打造一家持久的全球企业。”
估值飙升
一位知情人士说，在上一轮融资中，字节跳动的估值达到1,800亿美元。CB Insights的数据显示，这一数字高于大约三年前的200亿美元。但据知情人士透露，在私募市场上，一些投资者最近要求相当于3500亿美元的估值才能出售所持股票。据《南华早报》(South China Morning Post)报道，该公司对私募股权投资者的价值接近4,000亿美元。这对章莹颖来说意味着一笔更大的财富。
字节跳动的代表没有回复记者的置评请求。
随着政府试图控制中国最强大的企业及其亿万富翁创始人，在中国成为富人的日子不好过。问问马云(Jack Ma)就知道了:在展开反垄断调查后，监管机构对其进行了罚款阿里巴巴创纪录的28亿美元，央行下令对他的蚂蚁集团金融科技帝国进行全面改革，使其更像银行一样受到监管。周二，中国责令34家互联网公司在未来一个月内纠正其反竞争行为。
虽然字节跳动尚未被列为收购目标，但其在社交媒体领域的主导地位和交易资金是政府正在研究的敏感领域。
投资研究公司Redex Holdings创始人柯克·布德里(Kirk Boodry)说:“在美国，特朗普和潜在的禁令或强制资产出售都不会再玩愚蠢的游戏了。”“但科技股的价格压力，尤其是中国的压力，可能会让2500亿美元很难卖出去，”他补充说，他指的是字节跳动在私下交易中的价值。
张小龙出生在中国南方城市龙岩，是唯一的公务员之子，在天津南开大学学习编程，在学校的网络论坛上通过给同学修电脑而建立了一批粉丝。毕业后，他曾在微软工作过一段时间，后来他在接受中国媒体采访时表示，这份工作很无聊，他经常“半天工作，半天看书”。他继续开发了几家企业，包括一个房地产搜索门户网站。
他的突破出现在2012年，当时他在北京一套四居室的公寓里工作，创造了字节跳动的第一款热门产品——一款后来被审查机构关闭的笑话分享应用。随后，该公司转向新闻聚合，并凭借其短乐动扑克视频平台抖音和中国应用抖音赢得了超过10亿全球用户。在这个过程中，它吸引了软银集团等知名投资者，红杉资本以及自营贸易公司萨斯奎哈纳国际集团(Susquehanna International Group)，这使它成为中国互联网创业公司中罕见的一家，通常会被腾讯和阿里巴巴集团(Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.)更广泛的生态系统所吸收。
新颖的概念
据一份报告称，作为张勇最早的支持者之一，Susquehanna已成为字节跳动最大的外部支持者，持有15%的股份华尔街日报十月的故事。萨斯奎汉纳中国风险投资部门负责人王琼(Joan Wang)在2016年的一篇博客文章中称，最初的赌注是在2012年初，当时字节跳乐动扑克动的新闻应用今日头条还只是张勇在餐巾纸上画出来的一个概念。
随着TikTok在美国和印度面临审查，张勇将更多精力投入字节跳动刚刚起步、快速增长的中国业务，业务范围从游戏到教育再到电子商务。一位知情人士说，这帮助该公司去年的销售额增加到350亿美元左右，营业利润增加到70亿美元。
今年2月，中国竞争对手快手科技(kuishou Technology)融资54亿美元，成为自优步科技公司(Uber Technologies Inc.)以来规模最大的互联网上市，目前市值接近1400亿美元，投资者正关注着字节跳动部分业务的IPO。上个月，字节跳动聘请小米Corp.前高管周寿子担任首席财务长，填补了这个长期空缺的职位，而这个职位对字节跳动最终上市至关重要。
但对张勇来说，这并不完全是为了眼前的回报。这位和蔼可亲的创始人以“延迟满足”(delayed satis满足感)的商业哲学而闻名，因为他把重点放在长期增长上——上个月在公司成立9周年庆典上，他在向员工发表演讲时再次强调了这一点。
他说:“保持平常心，这听起来很简单，但很重要。”“用最朴素的话来说，饿了就吃，累了就睡。”

Just last year, the world\u2019s most valuable startup, ByteDance<\/a> Ltd., was being squeezed from all sides.
The Trump<\/a> administration wanted the Chinese firm, which owns the ubiquitous TikTok<\/a> video-sharing platform, to get rid of assets. Beijing was cracking down on tech businesses, and India blacklisted some of its social-media apps.
For all the obstacles, ByteDance kept growing. Now its founder, 38-year-old Zhang Yiming<\/a>, is among the world\u2019s richest people -- a distinction that lately has carried increased risks in China.
The Trump<\/a> administration wanted the Chinese firm, which owns the ubiquitous TikTok<\/a> video-sharing platform, to get rid of assets. Beijing was cracking down on tech businesses, and India blacklisted some of its social-media apps.
For all the obstacles, ByteDance kept growing. Now its founder, 38-year-old Zhang Yiming<\/a>, is among the world\u2019s richest people -- a distinction that lately has carried increased risks in China.
<\/div><\/div>Shares of the company trade in the private market at a valuation of more than $250 billion, people familiar with the dealings have said. At that level, Zhang, who owns about a quarter of ByteDance, could be worth more than $60 billion, placing him alongside Tencent Holdings Ltd.\u2019s Pony Ma, bottled-water king Zhong Shanshan and members of the Walton and Koch families in the U.S., according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
ByteDance, famous for its short-video apps and news aggregator Toutiao, more than doubled revenue last year after expanding beyond its core advertising business into areas such as e-commerce and online gaming. It\u2019s now weighing options for the initial public offering of some businesses.
\u201cZhang is someone who\u2019s known for thinking long-term and not easily dissuaded by short-term setbacks,\u201d said Ma Rui, partner at venture-capital firm Synaptic Ventures. \u201cHe is set on building an enduring, global business.\u201d
Surging Valuation
<\/strong>During its last fundraising round, ByteDance reached a $180 billion valuation, a person with knowledge of the matter said. That\u2019s up from $20 billion about three years ago, according to CB Insights. But in the private market, some investors recently were asking for the equivalent of a $350 billion valuation to part with their shares, people familiar have said. The company\u2019s value for private-equity investors is approaching $400 billion, the South China Morning Post reported. That would mean an even bigger fortune for Zhang.

<\/div><\/div>ByteDance representatives didn\u2019t respond to requests for comment.
It\u2019s a tough time to be wealthy in China as the government seeks to rein in the country\u2019s most powerful corporations and their billionaire founders. Just ask Jack Ma: After opening an antitrust probe, regulators fined Alibaba<\/a> a record $2.8 billion and the central bank ordered an overhaul of his Ant Group Co. fintech empire so it\u2019d be supervised more like a bank. On Tuesday, China ordered 34 internet companies to rectify their anti-competitive practices in the coming month.
While ByteDance hasn\u2019t been singled out as a target, its dominance in social media and war chest for deal-making are sensitive areas the government is looking into.
\u201cThere are no more silly games in the U.S. with Trump and potential bans or forced asset sales,\u201d said Kirk Boodry, founder of investment research firm Redex Holdings. \u201cBut the pressure on tech-share prices and China in particular might make $250 billion a tough sell,\u201d he added, referring to ByteDance\u2019s value in private transactions.
Born in the southern Chinese city of Longyan, Zhang, the only son of civil servants, studied programming at Tianjin\u2019s Nankai University, where he built a following on the school\u2019s online forum by fixing classmates\u2019 computers. He joined Microsoft Corp. for a brief stint after graduating, later calling the job so boring he often \u201cworked half of the day and read books in the other half,\u201d according to an interview with Chinese media. He went on to develop several ventures, including a real estate search portal.
His breakthrough came in 2012, when working in a four-bedroom apartment in Beijing he created ByteDance\u2019s first hit -- a joke-sharing app later shut down by censors. It then turned to news aggregation before winning over more than 1 billion global users with its short-video platforms TikTok and Chinese twin app, Douyin. In the process, it attracted big-name investors such as SoftBank Group Corp., Sequoia Capital<\/a> and proprietary-trading firm Susquehanna International Group, making it a rarity among Chinese internet startups that usually get absorbed into the wider ecosystems of Tencent and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
Novel Concept
<\/strong>One of Zhang\u2019s earliest supporters, Susquehanna has become ByteDance\u2019s largest outside backer with a 15% stake, according to a Wall Street Journal<\/a> story in October. The initial bet was made at the start of 2012, when ByteDance\u2019s news app Toutiao was just a concept that Zhang had drawn up on napkins, according to a 2016 blog post by Joan Wang, who led that investment for Susquehanna\u2019s Chinese venture-capital unit.
With TikTok facing scrutiny in the U.S. and India, Zhang has put more effort into ByteDance\u2019s nascent and fast-growing Chinese businesses, which range from gaming to education to e-commerce. That helped it increase sales to about $35 billion last year and operating profit to $7 billion, a person familiar with the results said.
Investors are eyeing the IPO of some of ByteDance\u2019s businesses after Chinese competitor Kuaishou Technology raised $5.4 billion in February in the biggest internet listing since Uber Technologies Inc., with its market value now nearing $140 billion. Last month, ByteDance hired former Xiaomi Corp. executive Chew Shou Zi as its chief financial officer, filling a long vacant position that will be crucial for its eventual market offering.
But for Zhang, it\u2019s not all about immediate payoffs. The affable founder is known for his business philosophy of \u201cdelaying satisfactions\u201d as he puts the focus on long-term growth -- a message he stressed again during his spiel to employees at the company\u2019s ninth anniversary celebration last month.
\u201cKeep an ordinary mind, that\u2019s something that sounds easy but important to do,\u201d he said. \u201cPut in the plainest words, when hungry, eat, when tired, sleep.\u201d
