Chapter 2574 Rockefeller

After getting the CEO, we have to build a good relationship with Wall Street and resolve the concerns of the three major IPO underwriters, Goldman Sachs, Morgan and Credit Suisse.

Boss Zhou has great influence and industry trust in this regard.

There are already many companies that have IPO'd through his hands.

Every company's stock has soared.

To this end, Zhou Buqi also gave full play to his storytelling ability and conceived a grand blueprint for PayPal.

What will PayPal do in the future?

In the U.S. market alone, consumers use credit and debit cards to pay approximately US$12 billion every day. This has also built a strong financial consumer market in the United States, allowing every person in the U.S. to hold debit and credit cards. Number one in the world.

The next step for PayPal is to standardize mobile payment procedures and use the mobile Internet to promote it across the board and enter this track to achieve the goal of replacing credit cards and cash in the future.

In the early days of Internet products, it was mainly about imagination.

The greater the imagination, the higher the PE given by the market.

Now, Boss Zhou is PayPal’s biggest imagination.

In addition, there is another thing that deserves more attention-Bitcoin.

For this reason, Jamie Damon, the president of Morgan, specially invited Boss Zhou to his home for a special banquet, focusing on asking for advice on new currency methods in this Internet era.

In the past few years, Bitcoin has not received much attention from Wall Street.

It is believed that this is a new form of Ponzi scheme under the technology products.

But now things seem to be changing.

Especially this year, Bitcoin has become very popular.

At the beginning of the year, the price of one Bitcoin was only 1 cent, and now the price is more than 50 US dollars. Bitcoin has become an important direction for speculation.

According to statistics, the United States spends $150,000 worth of electricity every day to mine Bitcoin.

The world's largest Bitcoin trading platform is BitPay, a subsidiary of Ziweixing International, with a daily turnover of more than US$5 million.

Zhou Buqi was also very interested in discussing it. He took two bottles of red wine to attend the private dinner and said with a smile: "I have also heard that there are many controversial opinions about Bitcoin on Wall Street."

Jamie Damon asked: "What do you think?"

"My opinion?" Zhou Buqi smiled, "There's no need to ask, right? There are a lot of reports in the newspapers."

With the explosion of Bitcoin this year, many media have begun to dig deeper into Bitcoin.

Then, the inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, was discovered.

Who is this guy?

He looks Japanese.

However, it is very likely that it is a fake Japanese name, but it is actually a senior boss in the IT industry, or a scientist from a certain university.

The algorithm of Bitcoin is very technically difficult and cannot be figured out by ordinary people.

So who is it?

Look at the amount of stock.

There are now more than 10 million Bitcoins in existence, of which Satoshi Nakamoto holds 1.14 million, and the world’s richest man Zhou Buqi holds 1.06 million...

Depend on!

Could this Satoshi Nakamoto be an incarnation of Zhou Buqi?

Such rumors really brought a lot of trouble to Zhou Buqi. His original plan was to hoard his personal Bitcoins to 2 million through mining and purchasing.

Once this is stripped down, it won’t be possible to expand it any further.

The next step is to find opportunities to slowly ship goods and cash out profits.

Jamie Damon smiled and said: "Who is Satoshi Nakamoto?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "I'm not sure, but there are some rumors that he should be a computer professor in a certain university."

Jamie Damon obviously didn't believe this statement, and looked at him deeply, "It's really not you?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "If it were me, why would I hide it? It's really not me."

Jamie Damon said: “Bitcoin is now welcomed by the market, but it has been questioned and criticized by many traditional financial experts. Many people even think that Bitcoin is an illegal product.”

Zhou Buqi's performance was relatively dull, "Bitcoin is a technological product, a blockchain currency in the new era. I don't think it has illegal properties."

Jamie Damon said with a smile: "Congress seems to be holding hearings to discuss it."

"What to discuss?"

"Discuss whether it's illegal."

"oh."

"Do you need my help?"

"Help with what?"

Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand what the other party meant.

Jamie Damon laughed: "I know you are the largest holder of Bitcoin..."

Zhou Buqi said quickly: "I'm not, Satoshi Nakamoto is."

Jamie Damon smiled, "Almost."

Zhou Buqi explained: "My intention in Bitcoin is just to invest. Since it is an investment, there will always be risks. No matter what the outcome of the hearing is, I can accept it."

"Huh?" Jamie Damon was a little surprised, "You really don't need my help? I can introduce you to several officials from the Financial Commission and the Ministry of Finance."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I know some, but I really don't use it. Even if Bitcoin is completely banned, I don't care. My investment in Bitcoin is just a small hobby. In comparison, PayPal is the Internet That’s where finance is really going, not this blockchain currency like Bitcoin.”

"hope so!"

As a traditional financier, Jamie Damon is somewhat worried.

Once this digital cryptocurrency appears and is widely accepted by the public, it will inevitably have a huge impact on traditional banking business.

However, this was not Zhou Buqi's concern. The reason why he came here this time was for another person and said, "By the way, I really need your help with something."

Jamie Damon is very willing to associate with such business elites, "Of course, as long as I can help."

Zhou Buqi said: "I want to get to know Mr. Rockefeller."

"Rockefeller?"

"The oldest one, David Rockefeller."

"Oh..." Jamie Damon was a little strange, "He doesn't see people very much now."

This David Rockefeller is the third generation of the Rockefeller family, but he is not a direct descendant. As a collateral descendant, he failed to inherit the family's core oil industry, but went to Wall Street to become a banker.

He is over 100 years old this year.

The domestic media often spread rumors that he was the patriarch of the terrifying Rockefeller family who had had several hearts replaced in order to survive.

He is not a clan leader, and he has never had a heart transplant.

He can be regarded as a senior figure to Jamie Damon.

However, what is most famous about this person in the world is not that he has gained such a great reputation in the business market as a concubine, even surpassing his direct descendants, but his status as a collector.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the largest collector in the world today.

He is over 100 years old this year, and he has been collecting for the past 80 years...especially at that stage 70 or 80 years ago, when Rockefeller's oil empire had not yet collapsed, he was extremely wealthy, and the price of art was very low. His family bought hundreds of thousands of precious works of art from all over the world.

The current Rockefeller family has long since expired, and the family business has long since been ruined.

In order to maintain the family's decent life and political and business relationships, they have long been reduced to the stage where they have to rely on selling their ancestors' collections to make ends meet.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "I heard that Mr. Rockefeller has some collections in his hands. I wonder if you can help me connect them. I want to take a look."

The Rockefellers were once the richest people in the world.

Things are different now, things are changing.

The Zhou family is the richest man in the world.

Sister Wu likes collecting and wants to do it as a long-term career?

As a man's responsibility, of course he must pamper her.
