Zhou Shiping Throws in the Towel

7月27日早晨七点，周世平（圈内人喜欢叫他老周）像往常一样打开电脑，登陆红岭社区，在社区发了一个200字左右的帖子。这位深圳红岭创投公司董事长的账户名叫“独孤求败”，帖子内容如下：

Zhou Shiping is a unique individual in the world of internet goods. In 2008, he set up a P2P platform, Hongling Capital, whose trade volume as of now has reached more than 270 billion RMB, making it the largest P2P platform in Shenzhen. Zhou Shiping in turn has been dubbed the 'Godfather of Southern Internet Goods'. He is a man of willpower, starting from the bottom and earning himself huge numbers of fans in the investment world. Some people even believe that of Hongling's 1.8 million current users, are simply riding the investment coattails of Zhou Shiping's professional brand. In this booming year for internet commodities, Zhou Shiping stands out as someone worthy of the label 'internet celebrity' for deciding to liquidate all on his own accord.
