Top of the big era

In the evening, eat skewers.

There were only six people present, besides Zhou Buqi, Giant’s boss Lao Shi, Wanda’s boss Lao Wang, Oceanwide’s boss Lao Lu, Legend Holdings’ vice president Lao Ding, and Elion’s vice president Lao Cai .

Zhou Buqi is a young man who has to face five other old men.

Although they are all top rich people, everyone has come from difficult times, so they don't pay much attention. I heard that the arrangement for the evening was a barbecue. Even Pharaoh, who always pays attention to his clothes, took off his white shirt and put on a dark short-sleeved one.

The small circle is very happy when they get together.

The task of grilling skewers was naturally given to Zhou Buqi.

Barbecue in other places in China is basically done by the store after baking and seasoning, and then put it on a plate and serve it to the guests. This reduces the experience of the process.

Zhou Buqi likes this kind of Korean-style grilled skewers, mainly because he can grill them by himself.

The store serves the raw meat skewers on a plate. You can carefully distinguish whether the meat skewers are dry or not. During the skewering process, the skewers are sizzling with oil. Once they find that they are going to be burnt, everyone will laugh and remind them loudly; if they are really burnt, they will be sarcastic...

This kind of grilled skewers is not just about enjoying food, but also a process of communicating with people.

Zhou Buqi seldom goes to Yanbian now, and the Aodong team has been disbanded.

It left a deep impression on him.

Especially in summer, under the hot charcoal fire, everyone drinks cold beer shirtless, and every sip is refreshing and refreshing.

Of course, it is impossible for these old men to take off their coats.

Zhou Buqi also taught them how to mix the seasonings. He felt that the arrangement of this dinner had local characteristics and was very unique. Coupled with the Korean proprietary gluten material, it can taste different.

Every bite of meat skewers feels strange.

Zhou Buqi also ordered 10 skewers of lamb kidneys.

Said that these old men should be well mended!

As a result, everyone was very reserved, and each made a bunch. Zhou Buqi expressed that he didn't like to waste, so he ate all the remaining kidneys.

When chatting, everyone doesn't talk about work, only about past experiences and interesting things.

Shi Yuzhu suddenly asked: "By the way, I heard that you are going to buy a football team?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?"

"Zhu Jun said."

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi cursed.

This is amazing!

None of them are reliable!

Lao Wang also has a special feeling for football. Wanda was the domestic football overlord back then, so he looked serious and kindly suggested: "Don't buy it, you have a bad temper, and you will be mad at the time!"

Old Shi laughed, "He's bigger than you!"

"Um?"

"What this kid wants to buy is a Premier League club, and he has his eyes on Arsenal!"

"ah?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Exaggerated?

Buying a club in China requires almost no money. If you take on the debt and communicate well with the local government, you can take over the deal for free.

It is impossible to make money in domestic football, so it is treated as a local image project.

Whoever has feelings will do it.

But the Premier League is different. It is football under the market economy, and it can really make money. Arsenal have earned the money of a football field in the past few years.

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and explained: "I bought it for my dad. He is now the chairman of Yuanwei Group, and his level is too low. I want to fire him and send him to play football abroad. You can do whatever you want." .”

Lao Wang gave a thumbs up, "This reason is very powerful!"

Zhou Buqi said, "Isn't this normal? Didn't you send your son to England too?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

This bastard boy!

He is sending off his son, and you are sending off to Lao Tzu, can it be the same?

Boss Lu frowned and glanced at him, "To buy Arsenal, at least hundreds of millions of pounds, right? You can afford the money, and the country may not be able to approve such a large amount of foreign exchange. Good steel must be used wisely ah."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "It's okay, I have foreign exchange in my hand."

"Is it from the company?"

"No, mine personally."

"so much?"

Everyone doesn't understand.

Zhou Buqi explained: "My family has some money, so my dad bought some Ziweixing stocks. Later, during the B round, he came out and made a lot of money."

This is a set of mechanisms to bypass the foreign exchange bureau.

To finance Ziweixing, use Huaxia Yuan.

When financing, Softbank gave US dollars. So you can cash out the U.S. dollar, and it can be directly deposited in an overseas account.

Not to mention, Zhou Buqi also said frankly: "At that time, I got 330 million US dollars, um, in December last year. I felt that the economy was not in a good mood, so I found a private equity fund on Wall Street that was specialized in bearishness, and invested in it." gone."

"ah?"

Everyone was stunned.

Shi Yuzhu's eyes lit up like two small light bulbs, "I went in in December, so I have to make a lot of money, right?"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "It's okay, I lost money in the past half a month, and now I'm probably... still earning 200 million US dollars."

"so much?"

Shi Yuzhu couldn't believe it.

Do you think this kid is really a business genius, dare to play this kind of financial gamble?

Zhou Buqi said helplessly: "This is just a floating profit on the book. If you want to withdraw it, you have to pay 20% of the profit service fee to the fund manager first, and the remaining 160 million. Then pay 20% of the profit tax to the Federation. Again...well, 32 million expenses. Add management fees, custody fees, and redemption fees, and you can earn $120 million."

Shi Yuzhu almost died of anger, "Is this too little?"

Wanda's development is getting better and better. It has revised its corporate goals. To become a world-class enterprise, Lao Wang began to eye the overseas market with a keen eye. "Xiao Zhou, what do you think of the current economic situation?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's getting worse."

"Can't control it?"

"Disaster!"

"Continue to bearish?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Buqi took a deep look at him, a little amused, "Mr. Wang, what's the matter? You want to try it too?"

Shi Yuzhu made a decisive decision, "I think it will work! Give me an accurate guess, will the global economy continue to go down?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Who knows? I only have a rough guess, probably... Well, there is a high probability that it will go down, maybe it will collapse. You are also in high-tech, and you have never heard of the situation in Silicon Valley. ? Even Silicon Valley has started to lay off employees, do you think this signal is obvious?"

"Um……"

Old Shi remained silent, his eyes flickering.

Zhou Buqi was also slightly silent.

He didn't even notice that the 20 spicy beef skewers that had just been put on were burnt.

Alone Better Together.

As a private enterprise, it is very important to mix circles.

This circle should be a market-type circle, not a political-business relationship.

For example, the old king present.

When Wanda encountered a crisis, almost all of its domestic counterparts did what they could, and they were all helping. Even Internet companies such as Ali, JD.com, and Penguin that have nothing to do with real estate have helped.

However, some real estate companies that have a relationship with the rich and powerful instead of the market are in crisis, and they are really overwhelmed by everyone, and they have no friends. Even if it is a limited liability company, corporate debt must be borne by personal pockets. A 10 billion project, if you want to sell it at a discount of 5 billion, people still think it is too expensive, and plan to cut it down to 1 billion...

Besides, the United States is the financial center, and the United States is the most affected by the subprime mortgage crisis. Going short in the United States is looting the wealth of the American middle class.

Taking Lao Mei's money to earn favors for yourself, why not do it?

Zhou Buqi suggested: "Why don't some of us partner together to pool a sum of money and then enter the market to make some money? I think the economy will continue to decline, and it will probably be very serious."

Boss Lu frowned, "The current economic situation is not good, and the state controls foreign exchange very strictly, so it is not easy to exchange."

Zhou Buqi was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "You don't have any foreign exchange in your hand?"

Entrepreneurs of this level, who doesn't have some reserves abroad? In case the domestic policy changes and some people are not allowed to get rich first, it is better to have a guarantee.

Boss Lu gave him a deep look, "Let's talk later."

Shi Yuzhu laughed, "Yes, let's eat first! Hey, your skewers are burnt! Your barbecue skills are too bad, right?"

Zhou Buqi said embarrassingly: "I didn't see it, I will definitely bake it this time."

As he said that, he wanted to throw the burnt 20 kebabs into the trash plate next to him.

"Don't throw it away! Bring it, I'll eat it!"

"Yes, don't waste it. The burnt meat is fat, and the lean meat can still be eaten..."

...

That night, two vice presidents of Legend Holdings and Elion Group were present.

They are not level enough.

Some topics cannot be discussed.

I made an appointment to get together after returning to Beijing to discuss shorting the financial crisis.

Zhou Buqi attaches great importance to this matter.

On the one hand, it is to cultivate relationships in the circle of domestic entrepreneurs and make connections. On the one hand, Ziwei Xing really ran out of money. He, the big boss, has to find a way to solve this problem.

Now, Ziwei Star only has 2.5 billion yuan and 1.5 billion US dollars in foreign exchange in its account.

too little!

This amount of money is not enough for Ziwei Star to expand its global market in the next few years.

Financing in the primary market is very difficult.

You can only take risks and do some unconventional business methods.

After going back to the Northeast and working hard for several days, and then returning to the company, Ning Yaxian sent him a thick stack of documents for him to deal with.

Every serving counts.

Among them, there are recommendation letters written by some executives, including Xu Liangjie, Wang Xiaochuan, Fu Sheng, Han Leshui, Nie Caijun, Yu Yongfu, Cheng Zhenping and others.

Much the same.

It seems to be arranged.

The general meaning is to ask the big boss not to torment Zhang Yiming anymore. He is the best candidate for the position of president. We are all convinced. Let him take the position to manage the company and lead everyone to move forward. It is what everyone expects!

Zhou Buqi briefly flipped through the letters, was stunned, and looked at Ning Yaxian, "What's going on?"

Ning Yaxian was very calm, and said with a smile: "It's not what you think, I told Meng Houkun, and he went to investigate. This is what Xu Liangjie meant, and he arranged it."

"Xu Liangjie?"

"Well, it looks like he gave up that position, doesn't want to fight anymore, and is expressing his opinion to you."

"Good thing."

Zhou Buqi smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

It seems that the series of arrangements in the past period have been very effective. Even Xu Liangjie, a direct competitor, was convinced, let alone others.

Even if Zhang Yiming's path to president is completely cleared, he can be promoted when the time is right.

If they are forced to promote against all opinions, it will be easy to renounce morality and intensify internal fighting.

Now everyone admires Zhang Yiming and supports him as the president. After he takes the position, it will be easier to carry out his work, and he will be able to work together as one.

The former is appointed from the top to the bottom, and the latter is supported from the bottom to the top. The work motivation and focus of the two are bound to be different.
