Chapter 3040: Innovative Spirit

In August, the stock prices of the Internet industry have rebounded collectively.

Boss Zhou personally came forward and finally negotiated a big deal for Ziweixing International after its listing!

The LinkedIn deal is confirmed!

Ziweixing International has completed the acquisition of the business social giant LinkedIn at a total value of US$15.4 billion!

The transaction adopts the model of share swap. Ziweixing International completed the transaction at a price of US$27.5 per share and a private placement of US$560 million. At this time, LinkedIn's stock price was US$96.2, equivalent to a premium of 20.3%.

On the day of the official announcement, LinkedIn's stock price soared 20% to US$115.4.

And Ziweixing International's stock price also rose 7%, from US$27.5 to US$29.4.

If the transaction is approved and merged smoothly.

Then after the transaction is completed, Ziweixing International's total share capital will reach 94.3 shares. Among them, Zhou Buqi personally holds 2.11 billion shares, and his shareholding ratio will be diluted to 22.4%.

This is an acquisition in the Internet industry, and the supervision is very loose.

Judging from feedback from all sides, this deal will not be blocked.

After working for several months, such a big move was finally made.

Zhou Buqi was very happy, and he could relax for a while.

Next, he would return to China.

As for the acquisitions in the education industry, they mainly revolve around the two websites Coursera and Lynda, which were basically negotiated. These are small websites, and cash transactions are fine. The price of 1.2 billion to 1.5 billion US dollars is enough to package the two websites together.

Zhou Buqi will not participate, and leave it to the company's management to operate.

At the same time, good news came from Ballmer. He spent 2 billion US dollars to complete the acquisition of the Los Angeles Clippers.

The two had a phone call.

Ballmer congratulated him on completing the acquisition of LinkedIn, and Zhou Buqi congratulated him on completing the acquisition of the Los Angeles Clippers.

"There is one more thing. Today I have officially submitted my resignation to the board of directors. After leaving the Microsoft board of directors, I have completely retired, and all my energy will be used to run this team in the future." Ballmer is a big player in the team and is very enthusiastic.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Just play one team?"

"Ah?"

Ballmer was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi said, "Since you are playing, play more. Look at me, I have a rugby team, a baseball team, a basketball team, and a football team. Especially my football team, you should know Manchester United's performance this year, right?"

Manchester United is the most popular football team in the United States, and Ballmer also knows a little bit, "Well, I know a little bit, double champion, right? Premier League champion and European League champion."

Last season, Manchester United, led by Klopp, finally played a phenomenal performance.

In the league, it has been leading since the first round, and has been in the first position for 38 rounds of the league. In the end, it led the runner-up Manchester City by 12 points and won the league championship; in the Champions League, Manchester United also won all the way. In the Champions League final against Real Madrid, they took advantage of Casillas's two attacking errors and won with a score of 2:1, and finally won the Big Ear Cup.

It can be said that Manchester United's success has truly made the world realize the omnipotence of Boss Zhou!

If the previous Manchester United still had traces of the godfather Ferguson, the current Manchester United has completely lost any trace of Ferguson. Manchester United, led by Klopp, has swept Europe with its rock football offensive style.

Manchester United has achieved incredible achievements from business to competition under the operation of Boss Zhou!

And Manchester United's great achievements have made Zhou Buqi more famous in the UK and even in Europe.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Yes, what's the point of always playing basketball? I tell you, American professional sports are commercial sports, which are for making money, which is not good enough. You go to Europe to buy a football team, so that you can really feel the charm of competitive sports, that's called soul-stirring!"

"Who said that?" Ballmer loves basketball too much, and he disagrees with his statement, "American sports are also competitive sports! The best games are in the NBA!"

Zhou Buqi couldn't say much to him.

He just said that when they are free, they can go to the stadium together to watch NBA basketball games.

In fact, he prefers to watch football games.

Thinking about it carefully, he only went to Old Trafford to watch two or three games in the past year, which was really busy.

Fortunately, the chairman of Manchester United is his father.

His father would go to almost every home game to watch the game, which was also considered to be fulfilling part of his responsibility as the team owner.

At this time, Wang Langli came over.

Knocked on the door carefully, a little tiptoeing.

Zhou Buqi waved to her, then ended the call with Ballmer and said with a smile: "This pajamas is really good, very slim, and it matches your temperament. But isn't this pink a bit too girly?"

Wang Langli blushed and said: "Huo Hua is laughing at me."

"What are you laughing at?"

"She said I was a girl."

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhou Buqi didn't think much about it.

Wang Langli said with a stiff face: "She is two years younger than me, and she showed off to me, saying that she is already a young woman, so I should hold on tight."

Zhou Buqi laughed and patted his thigh, "Come and sit?"

Wang Langli bit her red lips, lowered her head and dared not look at him. She walked over and sat next to him, but was too embarrassed to sit on his thighs.

Zhou Buqi slapped her on the butt.

Wang Langli then slowly sat on his legs, her voice was as soft as a mosquito, but I couldn't hear what she said clearly.

Zhou Buqi held this beautiful woman in his arms, and felt that her warm and soft body was really tempting, especially since she didn't even wear underwear, the seductive meaning was very obvious. He held her gently and whispered: "Do you want to be a woman?"

Wang Langli bit her lip and told the truth: "Huahua told me to hurry up, and when I return to China in a few days, I won't be able to get a place."

"How could it be?" Zhou Buqi cared about her feelings, "Don't worry, the key is to see how you feel."

Wang Langli thought for a while and whispered: "Boss, I want to talk to you Heart."

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi couldn't help laughing, "Okay, what are we talking about?"

Wang Langli said: "If I follow you, how should I understand this? How should I understand these sisters and sisters at home? Isn't this a bit against the rules?"

"Rules?" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "Rules are used to... Well, let me ask you, what kind of spirit do the best people in society have now?"

"Hard work? Hard work?"

"It's the spirit of innovation."

"Oh."

Wang Langli nodded gently.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What is the spirit of innovation?"

Wang Langli said, "It means doing something different..."

Zhou Buqi said, "Innovation means jumping out of the existing rules and doing something that does not conform to the current rules. Just like when I first started my business in college, I wanted to find a few partners to work with. How to find partners? One of the important methods I used was to take those college students with good character and academic performance to nightclubs, and even to some places for saunas, foot washing and massage. Logically speaking, good students should not go to such places, but they are willing to break such rules, which shows that they have the courage to innovate. Innovation can be good or bad, and breaking the existing rules is a basic requirement."

Wang Langli blinked at him, "So I have to have the courage to innovate?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "We are doing Internet business. The underlying logic of the Internet is to break the existing rules and establish new rules belonging to the Internet era by breaking the rules. You too, the choice is yours, it depends on whether you want the past life or want to enter a new life."
