Chapter 1222 Find a weakness

The United States is a big sports country, and the largest sports league is the NFL football league. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owned by the Glazer family, are a member of the NFL.

This Mr. Jeff White is the executive director and chief operating officer of the NFL league. It is most appropriate for him to come to the center to help introduce.

After a few pleasantries, Zhou Buqi complained, "What the Glazers have done to Manchester United is terrible. I have been a Manchester United fan for 20 years, and I am very disappointed with their behavior in the past few years."

Jeff White said with a smile: "They used the successful experience that they used on the Pirates to Manchester United."

"That's not the same." Zhou Buqi shook his head, "The profit generated by the NFL league every season is more than the sum of all European football leagues. With such a high profit, they can of course develop the team while paying off the debt. But football does not Similarly, this is a high-input and low-output industry.”

Jeff White said: "The Glazers are having some financial trouble and I hear they've sold a mansion in Florida."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "It's just right, sell Manchester United to me, and they will use the money to solve financial problems."

Jeff White glanced at the big boss of Goldman Sachs, "Should I put some pressure on the bank? I know the people in Glazer's group, and they will take the hard but not the soft."

"certainly."

Rick Efron smiled.

Goldman Sachs is the chief consultant for the acquisition of Manchester United. The commission for this case will exceed 10 million U.S. dollars. Of course, we must help as much as possible.

Next, talking about private equity, Jeff White asked: "Mr. Zhou, can you briefly explain, what method do you use to ensure high returns and low risks? The technology industry It’s very dangerous, it’s only been a few years, Motorola is done.”

This is a private placement, in fact, no need to explain.

If you talk too much, don't you leak your investment strategy? The reason why private equity fees are so high is because fund managers have unusual investment portfolios. If it is learned by others, the value of high fees will be gone. Also because of this black-box operation mode, there are often thunderstorms in private equity and various fraudulent incidents.

Zhou Buqi still wanted to ask the other party for help, so he said a few more words, "I am a practitioner in the technology industry and have a huge industry in Asia. I have very close relationships with large technology companies all over the world. Bill Guy Ci, Yang Zhiyuan, Larry Page, and Zuckerberg are all my friends, and I know which company has a future and which company has investment value."

Jeff White's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "So Mr. Zhou is planning to buy stocks in Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google?"

Zhou Buqi laughed, "I never said that."

Jeff White then asked: "Will there be some convertible bonds, debt-to-equity swaps, or strategies for futures arbitrage, macro hedging, and tiered funds?"

Zhou Buqi was dizzy, how could he understand this.

His strategy is one.

After taking the money, there is no complicated operation, no leverage, no analysis of the macro market, just pick a few excellent stocks, fill up the positions when they come up, and then wait for the bubble to grow little by little.

But people have asked, Zhou Buqi can only pretend to be unfathomable, and said lightly: "Simplify the complexity, value investment. In the long run, there is no active stock fund whose income can run Win the S\u0026P. I will be the most special one. The growth of the technology industry will far exceed the average industry."

Feeling a little alienated by saying this, I leaned over and said in a low voice: "Mr. White, I can tell you secretly that I will not buy Microsoft."

Jeff White froze for a moment, surprised, "Don't buy Microsoft? Isn't this the best technology company?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The growth I am pursuing, the best technology company may not be the company with the best growth. If we all buy the most famous big companies, what do we professionals do? It is not necessary for everyone to buy stocks by themselves. Enough?"

Jeff White lowered his voice and asked humbly, "When Microsoft and Yahoo were about to merge, I bought a lot of stocks in these two companies. Mr. Zhou, do I need to sell them?"

"These two stocks, the performance in the next few years will not be too good."

Zhou Buqi said it firmly.

Jeff White nodded, knowing what was in his mind, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for your suggestion. Well... If possible, I am willing to invest 5 million US dollars to buy your project."

"Thank you and welcome!"

Zhou Buqi shook hands with him with a smile, another deal was concluded. The NFL league can be called the most profitable sports event in the world. A single Super Bowl is worth more than the sum of the Olympic Games and the World Cup. In a capitalist society, wealth means power and social status. This Jeff White is very likely to be the next CEO of the NFL League, and it is necessary to make friends.

With more people in contact, Zhou Buqi began to feel it gradually.

The United States is also a humane society. In other words, high society is a small circle of people who build relationships with each other, and favors and personal reputations are invisible contracts.

This is a private placement, and details such as the specific operating model and investment portfolio are not disclosed. Everyone invests with their eyes closed, relying entirely on trust and relationships with industry elites.

It is even more exaggerated than domestic.

If Zhou Buqi went back to China and said that he had launched such a project, he didn’t say anything about the details, and just asked everyone to give him money... People thought that your boss Zhou was short of money and wanted to raise funds to tide over the difficulties . That is to say, a group of fellow entrepreneurs will give a sum of money out of the nature of helping their friends.

With a minimum subscription amount of US$5 million, how can such a large amount of money be thrown away casually?

But this old beauty really believes in this.

"By the way, you can go to Jeffrey Miller." At this time, Jeff White took a step forward with a very low voice, "Glazer's family business is a Caribbean supermarket and a department store. I heard that Mortgage out. Jeffrey is the second shareholder of the Caribbean Supermarket Group, and I heard that recently he wants to take advantage of the financial problems of the Glazer family to gain control."

Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, he glanced at Rick Efron next to him, and nodded to each other.

It really is a humane society!

This is just great!

Caught the opponent's weakness!

For the Glazer family, there are only two paths to take.

First, sell Manchester United.

Second, Zhou Buqi may help the business rival Jeffrey Miller to attack the base camp from behind and take down the core assets of the Glazer family.

...

The west is far away from the capital, and there are not many political figures, mainly elites in entertainment, sports, agriculture, gambling, commerce, intermediary services and other industries. The fundraising process was very smooth, and more than 2 billion US dollars were raised overnight.

Just two receptions raised $5.6 billion.

People have to sigh with emotion.

What the hell is an economic crisis!

The so-called economic crisis is a crisis for the ordinary people at the bottom. For the elites of the upper class, what should be done or what should be done, many people are still very excited. Happily pay money to enter the market, to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of bottom-buying in the economic crisis.

This time, Zhou Buqi also saw the disadvantages of the American system. Obviously the top elites are rich, but the federal government can't command them. In order to solve the predicament, they even thought of borrowing the hands of a foreigner, Zhou Buqi, to help him bring foreign dollars back to the United States.

From the current point of view, the 10 billion U.S. dollars in fundraising quota can be easily eaten by the elites in the United States.

According to Goldman Sachs' plan, the next step is to go to Nevada, and people who do casino business generally have a background. Then go to Texas for a tour. This is an agricultural base, and the United States is the largest agricultural country with great influence.

There is no need to go to Silicon Valley.

Zhou Buqi is in this business himself, and doesn't need to rely on small businesses like private equity to win relationships. Finally, it is enough to go to Pennsylvania and North Carolina.

In the evening, there will be a magnificent cocktail party at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, so the next morning, Zhou Buqi will contact Mr. Swinton to solve the problem of the housekeeper and maid.

The person who met was the granddaughter of the old man, Ms. Joy Swinton, who is in her 40s this year. She is now the president of Swinton Office and is in charge of specific business.

This is a housekeeping company that mainly provides the services of housekeepers, servants, chefs, and personal assistants for the rich, both men and women, mainly women.

Compared with the old man who spoke rudely for the old man, Joy Swinton's words were much more polite, and he happily brought Zhou Buqi to her office, and then arranged for the secretary to pour coffee.

This secretary is so pretty!

Zhou Buqi couldn't help but take another look.

Joey explained with a smile: "Her name is Kadilina, and she was the top three in a certain beauty pageant in Colombia eight years ago. After picking her up, she served two guests. She started working as my assistant two years ago. .”

Zhou Buqi said: "It's good to change careers and become an assistant."

Joy shook her head and said, "It's because she's old, over 30 years old. She's not suitable for service jobs anymore. But she's smart."

"What about the others? What will they do when they get older?"

"If they are foreigners, most of them will choose to return to China. They are generally less educated and have language barriers when they stay here. After working here for so many years, they have saved a lot of savings and lived a wonderful life after returning to China."

"oh……"

Having said that, Zhou Buqi understood.

Because he went to Yanbian to see Jia A before, he often heard similar stories. Many Korean girls will travel to South Korea, and then hide when they find the opportunity. Anyway, speak the language. Work there for a few years, earn a lot of money and go back to China to live a very prosperous life.

Joey said softly: "Mr. Zhou, all of our jobs will sign a confidentiality agreement, and we are not allowed to disclose any employer's information. If you want to fall in love with our girl during work, I hope you can contact us in advance. We will prepare corresponding contracts to avoid unnecessary disputes. This can maximize the protection of the interests of employers."

After a pause, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, our family has been running this business for 50 years since my grandfather. No matter what happens, we can solve it. In the past few years, you have never heard of any rich family Embarrassed by something like this?"

Zhou Buqi has a deep relationship with Hollywood, and said: "I really heard that Nicolas Cage had an affair with his maid, she seemed to be pregnant, and was sued..."

"He's not our client." Joey looked disdainful, "His level is not high enough."
