Chapter 1212

The next day, Netflix's case was completely closed.

Through the operation of Goldman Sachs, the family trust fund controlled by Zhou Buqi reached an over-the-counter transaction with 17 institutions to purchase 14.4343 million shares of Netflix at a price of US$25.2.

The total transaction price is 364 million US dollars.

Coupled with the 4.4837 million shares bought in the secondary market before, the average purchase price of this stock is 13.9 US dollars, and the total cost is 62.42 million US dollars.

So far, Zhou Buqi has spent a total of 426 million US dollars and won 18.918 million shares of Netflix, accounting for 30.5% of the total share capital.

It's almost there, I can't eat any more.

Zhou Buqi is very satisfied with this wave of transactions.

Netflix's management is also pleased.

Because Netflix has a total of 11 board seats, there are enough reasons to ask for 4-5 board seats based on the weekly shareholding. But this newly promoted major shareholder is very supportive of the work of the existing board of directors, as long as there are 2 board seats. The 2-3 vacant ones are arranged by the management, which is considered a big favor to them.

The next thing to deal with is very important. Should we start a private equity fund?

Zhou Buqi didn't respond in a hurry, and the group returned to Los Angeles from New York. The Netflix case is over, and Chen Ran is going back to go through the resignation procedures.

Boss Zhou himself is also going to pick up Yang Mi, Jiang Bingjie, and Li Xinwan, and take a look at how Xu Baihui is handling the real estate matter.

Not surprisingly, I have to pay again.

"Lao Mei's group of people are really bad. Relying on the hegemony of the US dollar, they stare at the local tyrants in the Middle East." Chen Ran is about to resign and work full-time as a financial assistant for himself. There is no need to hide a lot of things. Said it openly and honestly.

Chen Randao: "Now the financial crisis is very serious, and the cash flow around the world has problems. All countries are promoting quantitative easing policies. Isn't the country also launching a 4 trillion plan. Only the Middle East, relying on oil droughts and floods to ensure income, only They have a lot of dollars sitting idle in their accounts."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "It seems that this is really the case, and it is a crime to conceive a jade."

Chen Ran said with a smile: "It's not a crime, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer."

Zhou Buqi said coldly: "That group of people is guilty. Anyway, I don't like any of the local tyrants in the Middle East. Citizens are strictly controlled. They are not allowed to watch a football match, and they are sentenced to prison for watching a small movie. The princes have wives and concubines in groups, enjoy themselves all over the world, and then religiously brainwash their own people."

"It has nothing to do with us."

"Um."

"For the United States, money is enough. Such a big financial country, they don't care who owns the dollar, as long as it exists in the big reservoir of the United States. As long as it is in this reservoir, the dollar belongs to Whether the power belongs to the local tyrants in the Middle East or whoever owns it is actually the same."

"Yeah, they all want to send me money."

Zhou Buqi is now more and more able to realize that under the small government system in the United States, the understanding of wealth ownership is different from that in China.

It doesn't matter who the dollar belongs to, anyway, the final right of interpretation belongs to oneself. Just keep the dollar financial system running continuously.

Right now, the most important thing is to use Zhou Buqi, a "non-Wall Street" financial investor, to re-attract the US dollars from the local tyrants in the Middle East to the US market.

Chen Ran sighed, "The world financial system was established by relying on the two world wars. How can we ordinary people be able to shake it? Isn't the largest investment project in the country also U.S. debt, and it has to revolve around this system."

Zhou Buqi felt that what she said was very reasonable, "Well, it's been two days! If there is no problem, let's do it!"

If you don't open it, you can't do it. There is not much money in the account.

If Dad really buys Manchester United, the family fund may not be able to make ends meet, and they will have to borrow money. It is very necessary to have a big business with a steady flow of water.

Sure enough, when I arrived in Los Angeles, I heard from Xu Baihui that the small estate in Beverly Hills "The Hometown of Florence" had already been negotiated, and all the formalities had been completed, with a total cost of more than 100 million US dollars.

This time, there is really not much money on the books.

The cost of this pen is too high.

Invested in Facebook, got 2.27% of the shares, and spent 230 million US dollars;

Jieyu Media engaged in platter investment and lent 500 million US dollars;

The old revolutionary film and television base was established in China to benefit the hometown, and 500 million U.S. dollars was returned to the country;

Financing for Marvel, got 20% of the shares, and spent 420 million US dollars;

Tesla financing, 25% of the shares, spent 200 million US dollars;

The "Gentlemen's Garden" manor in Atherton, Silicon Valley, cost 68 million US dollars;

A two-story luxury apartment in Manhattan, New York, costing $53 million;

Financing for SpaceX, taking 15% of the shares, spending 20 million US dollars;

Buy Netflix stock, get a 30.5% stake, and spend $426 million.

And the latest, the largest real estate project in Beverly Hills, "Hometown of Florence", costing $100 million.

There are also consulting fees and service fees with a total price of more than 28 million US dollars...

All in all, in the next month or so, 2.54 billion US dollars has been spent.

There is less than $1 billion in the account.

This wave of personal asset allocation is almost done, and it's time to stop.

...

In the evening, Zhou Buqi lived in the newly purchased small manor "The Village of Florence". Although it is a small estate, it is already the largest real estate in Beverly Hills.

The weather was cold and the outdoor swimming pool was unusable, so the girls swam and had fun in the indoor swimming pool, Xu Baihui, Feng Muer, Jiang Bingjie, Yang Mi and Li Xinwan.

Zhou Buqi went down for a swim and was called ashore by Sun Guanran.

"A call from China."

"who?"

"Secretary Qu."

"oh?"

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it.

This is the secretary of the big leader.

He even made a phone call.

It should be for Microsoft, right?

Unexpectedly, after answering the answer, it wasn't that Secretary Qu was talking about Goldman Sachs.

"Mr. Zhou, how is your relationship with Goldman Sachs?"

"Great!"

"Is it very close?"

Zhou Buqi has nothing to hide, and he can't hide it, "Almost, I have made some investments in the United States recently, and Goldman Sachs is the main investment advisor."

Secretary Qu smiled and said: "That's good, there are some things here, and I may need your help."

Zhou Buqi said boldly: "Of course, as long as it can be done."

Secretary Qu said in a low voice: "Have you heard about Goldman Sachs and some state-owned enterprises recently? The three cases have caused us nearly 100 billion in losses."

"Um."

"See if you can help me, and find out from Goldman Sachs whether there is any collusion between inside and outside in these three cases."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Secretary Qu, you're overthinking. I don't think it's possible or necessary."

Now he understood.

Indeed, Goldman Sachs has harvested hundreds of billions of wealth from domestic state-owned enterprises, and every Chinese is heartbroken. This kind of thing must be strictly investigated. The first thing to check is whether some leaders of state-owned enterprises have colluded with Goldman Sachs internally and externally. It's almost impossible.

Secretary Qu was a little surprised, "President Zhou, why do you say that?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Recently, I was in the United States, and I was deeply touched. With Goldman Sachs' financial means, there is no need to play low-level means of collusion. Isn't this illegal? With the strength of Goldman Sachs, doing legal business in an orderly manner It’s enough to harvest the whole world. Moreover, the country has only lost hundreds of billions of dollars, and it’s not even 20 billion U.S. dollars, right? Compared with the Middle East and Europe, it’s not worth mentioning at all.”

The Wall Street investment banks headed by Goldman Sachs are not harvesting domestic state-owned enterprises, but state-owned enterprises all over the world. If EDF had not been supported by the government, it would have gone bankrupt in this wave.

The worst is the state-owned sovereign funds of Middle East countries. They have lost at least 100 billion US dollars in this wave of harvest.

In the final analysis, it is still a question of human nature.

It's the same all over the world.

The wealth that belongs to the individual, the individual will do his best to protect it. Just like Goldman Sachs recently served Zhou Buqi, for fear of making a mistake. If he made a mistake or cheated him, Goldman Sachs would lose such a super big client in the future, and the loss would be huge.

The wealth of the public is different. Individuals who manage the wealth of the public will definitely not be careful and careful, and they will be fooled easily. Goldman Sachs is not afraid of offending, and a new supervisor has changed, and the new one has neither hatred nor hatred with Goldman Sachs, and will happily cooperate.

There used to be many state-owned enterprises in Europe and Japan, but they all gradually disappeared and there are not many left. As long as there is free market competition, it will be difficult for state-owned enterprises to compete with private enterprises.

Secretary Qu was silent for a long time before talking about the second topic, "What do you think about Microsoft's incident this time?"

Zhou Buqi stated, "I will obey the command."

Secretary Qu comforted him: "Mr. Zhou, I know you have been working hard on this matter, but don't complain. When things happen, you always have to find a solution."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "What complaint do I have? Secretary Qu, you underestimate me too much. To be honest, I have been waiting for your call. If you make a request here, I will go to Ballmer anytime."

Secretary Qu's request is simple, "No large-scale lawsuits can be initiated, especially not going to the WTO."

Zhou Buqi said: "Actually, this matter is very simple. The economic crisis is serious, and Microsoft wants to control the stock price. Ballmer's reputation in recent years has not been very good, and he has been suppressed by Google everywhere, and he is in danger of stepping down. Bill Gates has already Step down. The reason why Ballmer is so strong this time is because once Microsoft’s stock price crashes, he will also step down. If you want to stabilize the stock price, you must increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and create profits.”

"Give money?"

"Yes, it is still necessary to promote the legalization of Windows systems and office software. This requires institutions and public institutions to come forward."

Secretary Qu said sternly: "Respecting intellectual property rights is a solemn promise we made in front of the world when we joined the WTO. The country will promote and fulfill this promise step by step. It is certain to promote the legalization of system software."

Zhou Buqi took the initiative to give him a step up, "Then I will go to Microsoft tomorrow, ask Ballmer what he means, and set a general purchase quota?"

Secretary Qu said happily: "Mr. Zhou, it's really hard for you."

"Should be." Zhou Buqi has always been very conscious, "By the way, the United States seems to be introducing a quantitative easing policy recently, and wants to absorb the US dollar from the Middle East for investment in the United States. I plan to set up a private equity fund to attract Middle East money. The funds invested in the US financial market. You report to the leader."

"Is there a problem? Is this market behavior?"

"You report to the leader."

"OK."

Secretary Qu is in his forties this year, and his son is as old as Zhou Buqi. In contrast, it really makes people feel emotional, this young man is really a monkey spirit.
