Chapter 1153

Zhou Buqi raised his legs and asked, "How much marketing budget do you have?"

"200000000."

"oh?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

Spend 200 million for advertising?

This is a big deal!

This wave of financing has a total of 50 million U.S. dollars, half of which should be used for promotion?

Chen Sisi bit her lip and said: "The financing has not been formally negotiated yet. There is only a simple internal plan. 15% of salary and benefits, 20% of equipment purchase and infrastructure renovation, 5% of technical service fees, 10% of Cash flow reserves, the remaining 50% are invested in the market.”

Zhou Buqi nodded. This can be regarded as a common funding arrangement for the current Internet. It does not involve technology research and development at all, and the biggest expense is marketing.

Spending money on the market is far more effective than spending it on scientific research.

Just like 58.com.

This small website is still unknown now. The reason why it became popular all over the country is because it raised 80 million US dollars in two installments in 2010. Then, took out 70 million US dollars of it, and invited Yang Mi to advertise, no matter it was a TV station or a major mainstream website, it was everywhere.

Then it became popular, and amidst countless criticisms and slobbers, it suddenly emerged and became the number one in the industry.

"How do you spend the 200 million marketing expenses?"

"I'm not too sure about the specifics. It will probably take 12-15 months. After this round of financing is completed, our plan is to complete the next round of financing at the end of next year, or at the beginning of the next year."

"hehe."

Zhou Buqi sneered inwardly.

Think too much!

no more chance!

Seeing that he seemed dissatisfied with the answer, Chen Sisi could only divulge a little secret, "Mr. Huang talked to me about it when he came here, probably...if this financing can be successfully completed, he hopes to have a close relationship with him by the end of this year. Helo’s gold coin wallet system will carry out extensive cooperation. At least 50 million yuan will be invested.”

Zhou Buqi's eyes brightened slightly, "50 million?"

Chen Sisi said softly: "Well, at least 50 million. If the promotion effect is good, there will be additional ones later, which may reach 100 million or even more. By next year, we will also share with Friends.com, Toutiao, and Weidian Security Defender's download channel to cooperate, and may also invest about 50 million."

Zhou Buqi was very happy.

That's great!

Sure enough, good intentions are rewarded!

Ziweixing has a righteous heart and approved the legalization of Rainbow Helo, which indirectly helped 51 complete the financing. Then, 51 also reciprocated, donating all the money to... oh no, all the money was invested on Ziweixing's platform for promotion.

The more such cooperation, the better!

Not to mention next year, at least this year, through the promotion and cooperation of Rainbow Helo and the Helo gold coin wallet system, a stable income of 50 million can be achieved...

Well, 50 million!

No matter how small a lice is, it is still meat.

Zhou Buqi, as the big boss of Ziwei Star, for the sake of the company's interests, can't always focus on fat meat with high expectations. Small orders at every corner must be accepted.

only……

well!

Ordinary employees can't understand the hard work of the boss. They thought they were eating, drinking and having fun every day. I don't know how much sacrifice we have made? Forget it, who told us to be the boss? Always bear the responsibilities and obligations that others cannot bear!

For the sake of the 50 million, I was tricked again, and I accepted it!

Seeing Zhou Buqi groaning silently, Chen Sisi was flustered. From the moment she entered the room, she was scolded by boss Zhou, which made her flustered. After entering the room for more than ten minutes, everyone else was sitting, but she was standing like a primary school student, and she could even feel that her underwear was soaked in sweat.

"Mr. Zhou, okay... okay?"

"Um?"

"Can... can we cooperate?"

Chen Sisi's voice trembled, and she felt that she didn't dare to breathe.

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Forget it, let's go inside and talk."

Then, he got up and walked to the inner bedroom.

Chen Sisi looked pleasantly surprised, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, she glanced at Feng Mu'er provocatively, twisted her waist, and followed him to the bedroom.

...

After Chen Sisi took a shower and came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, Zhou Buqi had already put on his trousers and belt, and started to put on his shirt.

Chen Sisi was afraid that he would pull up his trousers and refuse to admit it, so he hurriedly said: "President Zhou, the use of gold coin missions to promote Rainbow Helo..."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Approved."

"Thank you Mr. Zhou!"

Chen Sisi cheered and ran over happily.

Zhou Buqi stretched out his hand, stopped her, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Chen, I have given you two chances. But one must be the same! This is the last time, there will be no next time!"

Chen Sisi looked pitiful, and said weakly: "Mr. Zhou, there will be more cooperation in the future..."

"Enough!" Zhou Buqi interrupted her with a wave of his hand, and said solemnly: "Cooperation is cooperation, and everything should be done according to the process. Don't follow these crooked ways. I know you are a beauty trick, the reason why you I was willing to fall into the trap twice because I think it is not easy for you to work as a woman in the technology circle, especially as an executive. I want to help you. However, you can’t take this advantage as your advantage in the workplace. weapons."

Fearing that he might misunderstand, Chen Sisi hurriedly explained, "Mr. Zhou, no, no, I'm not that kind of person. This time it's a special situation, and I came to see you just because I have something to do."

Zhou Buqi finished buttoning his shirt, and was about to leave, with a calm expression, "Miss Chen, I believe you are not that kind of person. However, I have made you succeed these two times, and I really intend to help you. There is no third time Yes. Although I am the boss of Ziweixing, the company's business must be handled according to the company's rules and procedures. It is not acceptable to follow the privileged relationship."

Chen Sisi took a deep breath, "President Zhou, I understand."

"Well, then I'm leaving."

"Boss Zhou!"

Chen Sisi suddenly stopped him from behind.

Zhou Buqi turned his head and glanced at him, "Miss Chen, is there anything else?"

Chen Sisi bit her lips lightly, and said gratefully: "Mr. Zhou, you are willing to give me the chance these two times. I am very grateful to you. I also thank you for your help to 51 on behalf of Mr. Pang and all the colleagues in the company."

"It should be, you're welcome. However, let's not make an example, and we can't do this in the future."

"I will remember what you taught me."

"See you."

...

On September 13th, Zhou Buqi and Shi Yuzhu flew to the United States.

Armageddon begins.

It can be seen from the U.S. stock market that there are ups and downs, drastic changes, and the long-short battle is very fierce. In such an occasion, if the Bronze player dares to enter the arena, he is guaranteed to be swallowed up in one gulp.

The risk of the stock market is relatively small.

Futures markets are more risky.

The real estate market is even more exaggerated, with a maximum leverage of 200 times. In other words, the real decisive battle is actually in the housing market.

The private equity manager invested by Zhou Buqi has already set up three funds. From the earliest "stock market + futures market", it has become the current "futures market + housing market".

Earnings have fluctuated wildly.

The second-phase fund invested by everyone collectively, when I checked it the day before yesterday, the yield was 328%. When I saw it this morning, it immediately became 105%.

Because there is good news from Wall Street, saying that the Federal Reserve is exerting its strength and strongly demanding that Bank of America must complete the acquisition of Merrill Lynch as soon as possible!

As for the price, if you have to make a concession, you will make a concession!

This gossip suddenly made the bulls crazy.

On the plane, Shi Yuzhu was also a little worried, "I read the newspaper this morning, and it seems that the crisis of Merrill Lynch is really about to be resolved."

Zhou Buqi was very relaxed, sitting across from him, glanced at his little secretary on the other side from time to time, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, our fund is following Lehman. It's just that Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America. The news has been affected, so it’s not a big problem.”

"I'm afraid that the Federal Reserve will really rescue Lehman!"

"Save? How?"

"Citigroup is fully capable of eating Lehman, right?"

"probably not……"

At the critical moment, Zhou Buqi's self-confidence is not so sufficient. If things really change and the Federal Reserve and Citigroup buy Lehman Brothers, it will be dead.

Fortunately, Shi Yuzhu reassured him, and said with a smile: "I don't think so. Last month, I heard that Citigroup and Goldman Sachs also ended up shorting the market. People scolded like hell."

Zhou Buqi resolutely said, "Well, they are drinking the blood of Lehman and Merrill Lynch! If Citigroup or Goldman Sachs make a move to buy Lehman, there will be a lot of bleeding. Well, a good thing!"

This is the downside of capitalist society.

Power cannot control capital.

When facing a tsunami, all parties must make concessions, sacrifice the ego, achieve the greater self, and work together to prevent the financial tsunami from happening.

But capital is profit-seeking. If the capital side thinks that there is no profit to be made, they would rather drown everyone in the tsunami than resist the tsunami. No matter how tough the Fed is, big investment banks will not obey.

Bank of America is willing to acquire Merrill Lynch because Bank of America does not have investment banking business. After acquiring Merrill Lynch, it can supplement its own business and become a financial giant, covering all aspects of global financial business.

Prior to this, the Federal Reserve wanted to push Bank of America to acquire Lehman.

But Lehman bid too high and demanded too much.

Bank of America disagreed, and there was no other way, so the Federal Reserve pushed Bank of America to acquire Merrill Lynch.

It's useless to talk about this kind of thing.

The more you talk, the more worried you become.

Just wait for the result.

Shi Yuzhu smiled and said, "Your plane is not bad!"

"When you make a lot of money this time, you'll buy one too?"

"Forget it, it's too eye-catching."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Buqi disapproved, "Zhang Chaoyang bought them all, and now even celebrities have started to buy private jets. The market is good, and the planes are cheap. If you buy them in a few years, the price will go up."

Shi Yuzhu waved his hand, "Let's talk about it later, I rented a yacht in New York. After we go, let's not worry, just wait for the news."

Zhou Buqi said: "Anyway, I want to buy it."

"What to buy? Airplane? Yacht?"

"No, buy a house."

Many houses in luxury areas cannot be bought with money, and the supply is in short supply. The owners are all wealthy and do not want to sell. The financial tsunami is an opportunity, not only housing, but also bargain hunting.
