Chapter 2658 Regional Dividend

There is no surprise that Larry Fink will support Zhou Buqi’s case of delisting Tesla.

This actually doesn’t cost much. Tesla’s current market value is less than US$10 billion, and its outstanding shares are only about 20%. In other words, even if it is a large premium, US$3 billion in funds will be enough to smoothly remove Tesla from the stock market.

In fact, with the strong participation of Boss Zhou and the response of Black Rock Capital, more investors may follow suit and be unwilling to sell stocks...

Many small shareholders of circulating shares also want to hold them for a long time and wait for the next listing.

This way, less capital is needed for delisting.

money is not a problem.

The main problem is the process.

With the help of Black Rock Capital, many things can be moved forward more easily. Even though the United States is a so-called country governed by the rule of law, many things still require the support of strong human resources to handle things officially.

Take PayPal's spin-off and listing, for example.

During this process, we came under a lot of pressure from the outside world.

For example, in one place, the parliament is advancing a new bill, saying that PayPal's mobile payment may violate local banking regulations;

For another example, in one place, a congressman stood up and said that PayPal was taking advantage of legal loopholes and should be strictly investigated;

For another example, two companies suddenly jumped out two days before their IPO, saying that PayPal had infringed on their patents and filed a lawsuit with the court... According to the normal process, once a lawsuit is filed, the investment risks in the prospectus will be If it changes, the prospectus needs to be modified, and the IPO needs to be stopped;

Some people within Nasdaq even raised objections, saying that PayPal's listing procedures were incomplete and asked to go back and redo it... What have you been doing? It's been several months since the prospectus was released, and you suddenly launched an attack just a few days before the IPO?

There is only one fundamental reason, that is, there is a hidden interest group working behind the scenes to prevent PayPal from going public.

What interest group is it?

It's actually not hard to guess.

It is nothing more than the traditional banking system, because PayPal's prospectus clearly states that after PayPal goes public and raises funds, it will focus on developing the "financial supermarket" business after receiving the money.

Users have all gone to PayPal to buy financial products, who would go to the bank counter to buy them?

Fortunately, Zhou Buqi has organized a strong board of directors for PayPal, and Nasdaq is eager to attract more excellent IT projects to Nasdaq through the listing of PayPal...

Although the traditional banking industry is powerful, it is obvious that the Internet is an emerging and more powerful force, and they cannot stop this general trend at all.

PayPal eventually went public with great fanfare and was a huge success.

Now that Tesla is delisting, it needs to gather energy to reorganize and start over... Hum, the traditional automobile industry will definitely not agree, and will work hard behind the scenes to prevent such a plan.

Musk has a wealth of connections on the West Coast and is in demand wherever he goes, from Silicon Valley to Hollywood. But things didn't work out well on Wall Street, and they ran into obstacles everywhere.

How many times have I cried bitterly on TV? In fact, I was forced by the capitalists on Wall Street. The pressure was so great that I even thought about committing suicide.

After all, Zhou Buqi is Tesla’s largest shareholder.

He will also be the biggest beneficiary of delisting.

It was up to him to come forward and help solve these troubles. The helper he found was Larry Fink. As for Carl Icahn, not to mention, there is no need to notify him in advance, he will definitely agree!

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "By the way, I had a plan before, but it was too complicated to operate, so I have put it on hold recently. If you are interested in participating, maybe we can join forces."

Larry Fink was of course interested, "What's the plan?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I want to buy a team."

"Ah?" Larry Funk was slightly startled. "As far as I know, you already own several teams, right? In the United States, there are three teams: the Golden State Warriors, the San Francisco Giants, and the San Jose Earthquakes. "

Zhou Buqi corrected: "The name has been changed. It is no longer called San Jose Earthquake, it is called San Jose Ziweixing."

Larry Fink smiled and said, "Oh, yes, the name has been changed. It's the football team, which is a bit more biased. If it's a baseball, basketball, or football team, if you want to change the name, you will definitely encounter huge protests from the fans."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, what I want to buy this time is the football team."

Larry Fink carefully inquired: "Actually, I have always been surprised. You have successively acquired many clubs in recent years...Is it because the sports industry has a huge growth trend?"

Zhou Buqi wanted to cooperate with him for a long time, so he told him a few truths and said with a smile: "If you want to invest in me, you must understand my investment logic. I am an Internet entrepreneur. All the investments I make, They are all planned around the Internet and are closely related to the Internet."

Larry Fink took a deep breath, "So the outside world's speculation is correct. Ziweixing Global will definitely launch its own streaming media platform in the future."

Zhou Buqi did not give a clear response and went on to talk about the sports industry. He said with a smile: "The Internet can make content and information spread to the world more conveniently and at lower cost. The technologicalization of the sports industry will greatly We can enjoy this wave of dividends. Especially the sports industry in the United States, which has always focused on development in the United States. With the Internet, whether it is football, baseball, basketball, or ice hockey, you can have more products all over the world. fans and create greater value.”

"It is indeed the case." Larry Fink nodded, "Now it seems that there is such a trend. Not to mention the overseas market, just speaking of the American market, the sports industry has a greater influence due to the communication effect of the Internet. With more exposure and social influence, more space to interact with fans, and more commercial income."

Zhou Buqi said: "I plan to buy the San Francisco 49ers."

"Huh?" Larry Funk was a little funny, "It's the San Francisco team again? I'm a New York Giants fan."

Zhou Buqi said: "Investment is not only about investing in projects and people, but also investing in places. Teams in New York and Los Angeles are too expensive. In comparison, teams in the Greater Bay Area are cheaper and have larger facilities." development potential. Looking at it now, there are big cities such as Los Angeles, Washington, Seattle, etc. on the West Coast, but I am convinced that the Greater Bay Area with San Francisco as the center will be the largest city in the future. Enter now to get the most out of the city The dividends of development!”

Larry Fink was surprised, "The IT industry is already amazing. Will the Bay Area develop further?"

"Now?" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Silicon Valley is indeed developing very well now, but it is still far away. Now is just the first step of the marathon, and there will be a longer road to development in the future. The future is the world of technology. , which means that Silicon Valley will be the center of domination of the world, and its status will be higher than Wall Street today. If you invest in Silicon Valley and the Greater Bay Area now, you can deeply share the dividends of regional development!"

Take the most profitable team in the United States, the New York Knicks.

This team's performance is so bad that they often don't even make it to the playoffs. However, the New York Knicks’ home court is Madison Garden Stadium in Manhattan, New York!

This is the geographical advantage.

Even if the New York Knicks suck, the geographical advantage can bring huge business benefits to the team.

However, these reasons are not the biggest reason for Zhou Buqi to acquire the San Francisco 49ers football team.

He has many core assets in Silicon Valley.

But he is an outsider.

He needs to be deeply tied to the local economy and the local people, and through a series of popular local teams, he can become a local "one of his own" emotionally.

Of course, making money is also real.

As technology helps the sports industry, as well as the role of the Internet in global communication, and the U.S. sports industry keeps pace with the times, it will be one step ahead in accepting technology and the Internet, which will allow American professional sports to gain business in the next few years. Several times the growth.
