Chapter 2040 Magic Johnson

The next day, Zhou Buqi and Baoshan went to get the certificate. The time was very short. He soon met Zhou Shaoning and further discussed Asda's case of acquiring Motorola's mobile phone business. In the afternoon, I met with a senior management team from Motorola and the two parties basically reached a consensus.

Then, Zhou Buqi returned to the headquarters of Ziweixing International, met with Kurian, and talked about the development of the cloud computing business.

One of the more important points is the cooperation with YouTube.

YouTube is currently the largest video website in the world, and its data storage capacity is even larger than Netflix. Netflix only provides professional film and television content, while most of YouTube is uploaded by individual users.

This scale is too big.

In some countries and regions, Google's data centers have not yet covered... In other words, YouTube's development speed has exceeded the construction speed of Google's infrastructure.

To meet YouTube's development needs, Google needs to find a third-party data center to cooperate.

Ziweiyun is the best choice.

The first is the low price.

Renting an ordinary data center is expensive, complex in operation and maintenance, and has a high failure rate. Ziweiyun is different. It can provide what is currently recognized as the best cloud service in the field of film and television content.

However, this matter is just an agreement between Zi Weiyun and the business director of YouTube.

It’s not certain whether it will pass or not!

Because Google has also launched its own Google Cloud, to some extent, Ziweiyun is Google Cloud's mortal enemy. At this time, if YouTube cooperates with Ziweiyun and purchases Ziweiyun's services, it will be a bit of an enemy.

This needs to be signed by Larry Page.

Therefore, several things have formed a summary, from Chen Dong and Fukuyama Shenghei's Japanese business, to Asda's acquisition of Motorola, to Ziweiyun's cooperation with YouTube, and the docking and follow-up information of the Twitter acquisition. follow up.

The two sides have made an appointment to hold a more detailed meeting tomorrow afternoon.

This day's itinerary is packed.

Zhou Buqi originally wanted to visit the Golden State Warriors who are gathering for the new season, go to Shen Xiangyang to see the progress of the Go AI, and discuss the cooperation between Yahoo News and Helo with Yahoo...

But it can't be arranged.

I don't like working overtime at night.

It's more important to go home and spend time with your wife and children.

Especially the children, who are now several years old and can walk, are very naughty. As soon as Zhou Buqi comes home, he goes to the toy room like a big boy and goes crazy with the children.

It was after 8 o'clock in the evening and the children were all asleep, so we could rest for a while.

Zhou Buqi mainly circled around Baoshan, who was 3 months pregnant. He went to her room and quietly told her that he wanted to hold a wedding with her.

"wedding?"

Xue Baoshan's complexion changed slightly, and she was somewhat worried.

For a person like Boss Zhou, the attention paid to his wedding is too high. Once the outside world pays attention to his private life, something may happen.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's okay, we don't invite outsiders. I've heard that Buffett has a private island in Greece. The environment is very good. Around October is the best season to enjoy the scenery. Our family will go there then Go over and don’t let outsiders pass by, let’s just take care of it ourselves.”

Xue Baoshan was still a little worried, "But...but there are others. What does Teacher Wen think?"

This is Zhou Buqi's third marriage. The first marriage was to Wen Zhixia, and the second marriage was to Shi Jinglin. The first two times I got married, I simply got the certificate and it was over, without a wedding.

This time I got married to Baoshan, and there was a sudden wedding. What did they think?

Zhou Buqi hesitated for a moment and said cautiously: "How about calling everyone together and holding a collective wedding?"

"How about that?"

Xue Baoshan gave him an angry look.

In other people's collective weddings, many couples hold weddings together at the same time, which is lively and grand. What's going on with you, you're the only leading actor?

Zhou Buqi hugged her gently, and the two lay on the bed side by side, looking at the ceiling, and said slowly: "There should be a wedding. This is Aunt Xue's wish."

Xue Baoshan said "hmm" softly, feeling warm in her heart.

Aunt Xue has never been married in her life, and living her life in such confusion is inevitably a regret in her heart. She does not want her daughter to follow her own old path.

Of course Xue Baoshan hopes to have a wedding, even if it is simple?

However, with Wen Zhixia and Shi Jinglin in front of her, it was really difficult for her to speak.

He had no choice but to change the subject, "By the way, today I specifically checked the bankruptcy case of the Los Angeles Dodgers."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi smiled, turned sideways, and looked at Sister Bao's round face, "You move so fast?"

Xue Baoshan pursed her lips, "Anyway, we are idle. If we really want to acquire the Los Angeles Dodgers, we must hurry up! Someone has already made a move."

"Really? Who is it?"

"Ervin Johnson, did you know?"

"I don't know." Zhou Buqi had a headache with foreigners' names. Even if he saw some little people, he couldn't remember them. "I've never heard of them."

Xue Baoshan said softly: "He used to be a basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers. He seems to have a nickname... called 'Magician'."

"Magic Johnson?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned. This reputation is big enough.

Xue Baoshan smiled sweetly, "Yes, it's him, you know."

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, I know, he is a very famous basketball player... He wants to buy the Los Angeles Dodgers? Does he have so much money? This man is quite famous. He is very wild when he is playing, and his private life is very... He was not clean. It is said that he slept with thousands of women and spent all his money on them. Later, he contracted AIDS. In order to treat the disease and survive, he had to spend more money."

Xue Baoshan didn't know about these things before, but she didn't find it strange.

The social atmosphere here in the United States is like this. Many wealthy people have very exaggerated private lives. It is too common for them to have slept with hundreds or thousands of women.

In comparison, Zhou Buqi is considered single-minded.

Xue Baoshan said softly: "Johnson does not have much money, but he is very interested in the Dodgers. Last year, the owner of the Dodgers wanted to sell the team, and he responded positively. He has 5% of the shares of the Los Angeles Lakers, and he They were all sold; he also had some Starbucks stock, which he also sold, raising $100 million."

"$100 million?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and shook his head.

With a mere US$100 million, there is still a long way to go to acquire a legendary team like the Los Angeles Dodgers with a history of more than 100 years.

Xue Baoshan said: "He has no intention of giving up. As long as he raises US$100 million, he will meet the minimum start-up capital requirements. Next, he can find investment institutions."

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "Leveraged buyout?"

"No... we should find some partners to cooperate." Xue Baoshan explained, "If you want to acquire the Los Angeles Dodgers, you need two processes. The first is the approval of the Los Angeles Bankruptcy Court, and the second is the approval of Major League Baseball. There is no way baseball would allow a leveraged acquisition of the Dodgers."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's good, it can't be leveraged. I see how he can use 100 million US dollars to cheat. Los Angeles is the largest city in the West, and the Dodgers are just like the Los Angeles Lakers. Even though they have encountered some troughs now, there are With such a big market to support it, it’s not a big problem! This matter can be considered!”
