Chapter 2431 Dominate Hollywood

At night, Zhou Buqi is just like the past.

We went to the suburbs of Tokyo, booked an entire small resort area, and took a group of more than a dozen girls to the hot springs. In addition, the waiters here are basically women, which gave Zhou Buqi an illusion.

If the daughter's country has a king, it must be me.

One night passed, and Zhou Buqi suddenly understood those foolish kings in ancient times. "From now on, the king will never go to court early." This poem really expresses human nature.

By the time the Nexon matter was settled, it was already three days later.

Changyou invested US$750 million in Nexon, obtaining 5% of the shares and a board seat, and the two parties reached a strategic cooperation.

A very important point is mobile games.

Nexon has too many high-quality games, such as "Dungeon Fighter", which is operated by Penguin Company in China and has achieved great success and is considered the most profitable game in the country.

This game was originally owned by South Korean game company Neople.

However, in 2008, Nexon fully acquired Neople, which became Nexon's intellectual property.

The development of this game has been hindered in the United States, but it has developed extremely well in China.

It can bring hundreds of millions of revenue to Penguin every month.

However, all Penguin originally received from Neople was the original version of the game, which was the PC version.

If you want to develop a mobile version of DNF, it has nothing to do with Penguin.

Of course Changyou should be responsible for the operations of the domestic market.

Over the past few years, under the operation of Penguin, this game has deeply occupied the minds of players and has become a very well-known game.

The mobile game version was launched, and Changyou took advantage of it.

After getting this done, Zhou Buqi was very proud of his business.

Life is a bit difficult.

The first night was suave, joyful and free.

The second night was a bit languid.

On the third night, I could barely hold on.

As long as there are just two Korean girls, Xu Zhuxian and Zheng Xiujing, Zhou Buqi can't handle these two little girls. The trouble is that the little secretaries in the office have been together for a long time and are all familiar with each other. They are no longer shy when they are laughing and joking, and they join forces to form a group to challenge Boss Zhou.

The most people came directly was seven.

Like the Seven Fairies.

When Zhou Buqi left Tokyo, he fell asleep on the plane and slept for ten hours. When I woke up and arrived in the United States, I replenished my energy.

When they arrived in Los Angeles, Son Zhengyi had been looking forward to it for a long time.

If investing in Yahoo in his early years was his first big successful deal, then his most successful investment in recent years was the establishment of Ziweixing Global in cooperation with Zhou Buqi.

In the process of jointly establishing Ziweixing Global, Masayoshi Son actually suffered a lot, and the shareholding ratio was far lower than the capital contribution ratio.

However, he endured it all.

If it weren't for Zhou Buqi, he would never have had such an investment opportunity. In other words, if it were the second person, he wouldn't have spent almost all his real money on it and invested more than 20 billion US dollars.

It's fine now, all the hard work has come to an end.

Unsurprisingly, Ziweixing Global has achieved great success and has grown into the largest entertainment giant in Hollywood. Looking at this year’s box office charts, it’s very telling.

Ranking first is "Avengers", with a global box office of US$1.68 billion, produced by Marvel Studios, a subsidiary of Ziweixing Universal.

The second place is "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises", with a global box office of 1.08 billion US dollars, which belongs to Warner.

The third place is "Spider-Man: Homecoming", with a global box office of US$1.04 billion, produced by Marvel Pictures, a subsidiary of Ziweixing Universal.

The fourth place is "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 2)", with a global revenue of 880 million US dollars, produced by Summit Entertainment, a subsidiary of Ziweixing Global.

In addition, there are "The Hunger Games" with a global box office of US$700 million, and "007: Skyfall" with a global box office of US$650 million.

This "007" was only released last month, and the global market is still in the stage of successive releases. It is likely to be another super blockbuster this year with a box office of over 1 billion US dollars.

There is also the rebooted new version of "Jurassic World" which was postponed to the Christmas season. It has been open for 4 days and has a global box office of US$370 million...

Even excluding the new film "Jurassic World", among the top 10 of this year's movie box office list, Ziweixing Universal already has "The Avengers", "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" ( 7 movies including "The Hunger Games", "Skyfall", "Madagascar 3" and "Teddy Bear" are on the list.

Different styles.

There are science fiction films, comedies, cartoons, and action films.

There's even Twilight and The Hunger Games, which revolve around women's rights.

Ziweixing Universal has almost become synonymous with high-quality movies.

Under the leadership of Zhou Buqi, Ziweixing Global has the momentum to dominate Hollywood and has demonstrated its dominance. Even Disney came to visit, saying that they wanted to build a "Star Wars Park" and "Marvel Park" in Disneyland.

However, Universal Studios has priority.

If both parties offer the same price, the rights will belong to Universal Studios.

Let them bid!

In short, Masayoshi Son is extremely satisfied with Zhou Buqi. He has replaced Yang Zhiyuan and Boss Ma as SoftBank's most important partner.

It has been a pleasure to cooperate with us several times.

Next, Sun Zhengyi also wants to bring Zhou Buqi to do big things together. This time he is eyeing the semiconductor industry.

There is almost no risk in the listing of Ziweixing Global.

This is not an Internet bubble asset, this is a real real economy. The annual profit has reached 4 billion US dollars, and the market value is between 120 billion and 150 billion US dollars. These are very reasonable capital valuations.

Masayoshi Son feels more at ease, and he is more concerned about the technology industry. “Looking at the current sales of smartphones and tablets, as you said, the mobile Internet is gradually replacing the traditional PC Internet. This means that mobile terminals Equipment will crush traditional computer sales. Semiconductors based on the mobile market will be the mainstream in the next era."

"That must be the case."

Zhou Buqi agrees with this point of view.

However, he still had some ideas that he didn't say.

The development of chips based on mobile terminal devices can indeed lead the next era. But there is another very important direction, which is AI chips.

Artificial intelligence is the dominant industry in the future.

In Shen Xiangyang's artificial intelligence team, there is a team dedicated to developing and designing AI chips.

Sun Zhengyi was very happy, "This trip to the UK went well?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether I go well or not. If you want to acquire ARM, I will be beating the drum and waving the flag for you behind the scenes. If you can succeed and really privatize ARM, delist it and acquire it, I'm sure Enter the market. It doesn’t matter if you need resources or funds. As for the process, you still have to run it.”

"Of course." Masayoshi Son was mentally prepared. SoftBank must be involved in this kind of capital operation. "The main reason is that there is an uncertainty factor, and I need you to make a decision."

"What factors?"

"compete."

"Um?"

"ARM's current market value is only 10 billion pounds. There have been many strategic and business mistakes in management. It is a good time to buy the bottom." Sun Zhengyi sighed, "We saw this opportunity, and many people are also eyeing it. It’s on. If we take action, there will most likely be a bidding war.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "There is nothing we can do about it."

There is almost no chance of missing such high-quality assets.

Once a privatization acquisition of ARM is launched, ARM's stock is guaranteed to soar.

Son Zhengyi asked: "What is your expected premium range?"

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "I haven't done any research, how would I know?"

Son joked: "Where's your intuition?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and then made a decisive judgment, saying in a deep voice: "I think we can win anything within 30 billion pounds!"

Son Zhengyi took a deep breath.

This kid is really fierce!
