Top of the big era

15.4, 15.5, 15.7, 15.8, 16.2, 16.3, 16.5, 17.2, 17.3...

The numbers are jumping.

In the Kimberly Hotel in New York, Zhou Buqi stood motionless in the back, watching a white trader seconded from Goldman Sachs skillfully use a Bloomberg terminal to trade stocks.

The stock price rose steadily.

In just 20 minutes, the stock price rose by $2.

Zhou Buqi gave Chen Ran a look, and they went out of the study together, "How is it, how much did you buy?"

"700,000 shares. Looking at the situation, at least 1.2 million shares can be bought today."

"Not much."

"The selling volume is not high, and there are many people following the trend to grab chips."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Total? How much?"

Chen Ran said with a smile: "There are already 4 million shares in total. Netflix's total shares are 62 million shares, and 4 million shares are equivalent to 6.4%."

Zhou Buqi asked, "Have the materials been submitted?"

"Don't worry, just notify NASDAQ after the market closes." Chen Ran paused, "What did Goldman Sachs say? Signed the contract on the day of the off-market transaction?"

Zhou Buqi said: "They said it was the day after tomorrow."

Chen Ran thought for a while, and said "Hmm", "Today's stock price can climb to 19 US dollars. When the news is announced tomorrow, the market's reaction will definitely be stronger than today. Tomorrow's increase may be even greater."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "That's NASDAQ. If you set a daily limit in the domestic A-share market, it will be troublesome to operate." After a pause, he asked again: "Can you give us an expectation? ? How much can you buy in the secondary market?"

Chen Ran shook his head, "If you want to sell, you will sell if the price is low. If you don't want to sell, you will not sell if the stock price has risen sharply, especially technology stocks. They are all for the long-term. Tomorrow's increase will be even greater. But we may not be able to grab as many stocks as today. Netflix’s total share capital is too small. If you want to play tricks in the capital market, you still need to promote stock splits in the future, increase your share capital, and increase trading volume.”

Zhou Buqi didn't care, "It's just this time, I'm not very interested in capital games. Let Netflix's board of directors decide whether to split the stock or not."

Chen Ran took a deep look at him, and suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, I have already resigned from PricewaterhouseCoopers. When this case is over, I will go back to Los Angeles to complete the formalities."

"Oh, it's okay, just follow what we agreed before. If you serve me full-time, I will increase my annual salary to $1.2 million."

"Mr. Zhou, what about that matter? Have you thought about it yet?"

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi was silent for a while.

Establish a private equity venture capital fund!

Add another job to yourself, to become a big shot in the venture capital world?

"I'll think about it again."

"Mr. Zhou, do you have any concerns? If you want to do it, I just have resources here. The friend John I introduced to you a while ago has now accepted a task to help a sovereign fund in the Middle East find investment The project may involve billions of dollars."

"That's not what it means." Zhou Buqi waved his hand and sighed, "My ability is too strong."

"ah?"

Ms. Chen Ran froze for a moment, angry and funny, what reason is this?

Zhou Buqi said: "If I enter the private equity business, then my private equity fund must be the largest in the world. No Bridgewater Fund or Buffett can compare to me. I am too good, so good that I am eye-catching. .I'm a very low-key person."

Chen Ran bit his lip.

All right!

She is used to it.

This young Mr. Zhou is a lunatic! During this period of time, I talked with Musk about electric vehicles and rocket launches, and you can see it. It's just that the breath is too loud, right?

"Mr. Zhou, be more eye-catching, won't you?"

"not good."

"Mr. Zhou, I don't think your thinking has jumped out of the mainland yet."

"Um?"

"This is the United States, the better you are and the more prominent you are, the safer you will be." Chen Ran has been dealing with rich people for the past twenty years, and she knows the thoughts of this group of people very well.

Zhou Buqi said: "I still want to live in China for a long time, and I am too lazy to deal with foreigners with big noses every day."

Chen Ran tilted his head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Is there any problem?"

Zhou Buqi was silent.

Chen Randao: "Mr. Zhou, I have been working at PricewaterhouseCoopers for 22 years. As soon as I entered the industry, I followed my teacher to serve the rich. I remember that my first client was a real estate owner in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, his career was very difficult. It's about to break down. He's said to be driving a truck for a living now."

Zhou Buqi was a little interested, he always liked listening to stories, "What's the reason?"

Chen Ran said: "He won't share benefits."

Zhou Buqi was deeply touched, "Well, the more you share, the more you get. If you keep everything in your own hands, you will get nothing. In the next few years, I will focus on charity."

Ms. Chen Ran said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, that's not what I meant. I also came from China. Charity in China is different from that in the United States. It is culturally enforced in the United States, just like paying taxes. It is for small governments, Low taxes complement a cultural social system. And, that’s not what I’m talking about.”

"Then what are you talking about?"

"As a private equity fund, you can only make a small profit."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Chen Randao: "Even if your profit share is 25%, it means that 75% of the profit belongs to investors. Is there any better business in this world? The more you earn, the more you will The safer! If you really become the world's largest private equity fund, the capital behind it will have power beyond your imagination, and they all want to make money through you. Who dares to touch you, and the investors behind you will not Will agree. This is the United States, this is a capitalist society. Whoever has money is God."

"It makes sense!" Zhou Buqi laughed, "Sister Chen Ran, you are an accountant, are you so interested in investment?"

Chen Ran looked at him strangely, "Don't you understand? I can help you manage your finances."

Zhou Buqi nodded again and again, "Well, I understand very well. If I make an investment, I guarantee that every investment will be accurate, and I will be number one in the world within a few years."

"Then do it!"

"Can you find an investor? Can that friend of yours really attract big clients from the Middle East?"

"In the current situation, 99% of private equity funds have lost money. The sovereign funds of those oil countries in the Middle East are all looking for excellent investment targets. The reputation of Wall Street is already bad, and they can't be trusted anymore."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Zhou Buqi didn't believe it could be so simple.

I don’t know him, and I don’t have a world-class reputation like Bill Gates. The local tyrants in the Middle East are rich, so why should they send money to their door and let themselves manage it?

The hardest part is the early days of starting a business.

When the scale is formed, coupled with Zhoubuqi's investment portfolio showing amazing growth and giving an amazing rate of return, by then, more and more people will chase the rise, and there will be no need to worry about lack of investment people.

Right now, let's finish the Netflix case.

On this day, the closing price was $18.8, an increase of $5.5 compared to the opening price of $13.3, an increase of 41.35%. On that day, Zhou Buqi bought a total of 1.22 million shares at an average price of US$15.7, and spent a total of US$19.15 million.

So far, Zhou Buqi’s Netflix shares have reached 4.25 million shares, accounting for 6.85% of the total share capital.

Notify Nasdaq.

Wall Street chanted: "Wolf!"

...

Manhattan also has a home. It is a luxury apartment near Central Park. It has an open floor plan. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire park.

Sun Guanran opened his arms in front of the window, feeling as if he was embracing the whole world. He turned around and said softly, "Zhou Buqi, our house is too big! It's so annoying!"

"Then what should we do?"

Zhou Buqi also has no choice, there are so many houses, if they are not cleaned for a long time, dust will easily fall. I can't move in anymore, and then find a housekeeper to come and clean it temporarily.

Sun Guanran came over pretty and gracefully, and said in a coquettish voice, "You hired someone."

"Who are you hiring?"

"Servants, there are Filipino servants in the south of the country. What kind of people can't be hired in such a capitalized country?"

Zhou Buqi joked, "How many beautiful girls should you hire?"

Sun Wanran curled her lips and snorted softly, "I knew it, you just want to enjoy yourself."

Zhou Buqi rubbed his nose, "Don't talk nonsense, the housekeeper gave me advice when I was in Silicon Valley, and I didn't agree."

"What do you suggest?"

"Go to a poor and backward country to hold a beauty pageant."

"Huh?" Sun Guanran was slightly taken aback, "Choose a group of beauty contestants to be maids?"

Zhou Buqi snorted and said, "What do you think? This is our identity! Don't belittle yourself! Like Colombia and Venezuela, local girls don't study since they were young, but learn some skills of serving people, dress up beautifully and cultivate Temperament, upbringing and gentle character are born for the rich."

"Cultivated since childhood..."

"Yes, this kind of girl is the most reliable. She took over and worked as a maid at home when she was a teenager. Because she didn't read any books, lacked knowledge, and didn't understand many things, it didn't matter if they saw or heard her. They are taught to be obedient and keep their mouths shut. Anyone who is disobedient will be sent back to the country directly, and they will not even be able to survive.”

"Pitiful."

Sun Wanran pursed her mouth.

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, that's why I didn't agree."

Sun Wanran wrinkled her little nose and said, "But it's impossible without a maid at home. There are so many houses and they are so big. I can't let me clean your room and wipe the floor for you, right?"

Zhou Buqi tentatively said, "How about...how about we also go to the countryside and do as the Romans do?"

Sun Wanran blushed slightly, and rolled her eyes, "I think you're just looking up!"

Zhou Buqi snorted and said: "What you said, we are looking for a maid, not a housemaid. Besides, we are looking for a maid, so people are happy. Especially in Venezuela, the locals even do their daily lives. I can’t keep going. The whole family is counting on the girl to be selected in the beauty pageant and support the family. The more you search, the more you can help. It is the Venezuelan politicians who have harmed the local people, and we rich people are helping them A way to survive, do you understand, you?"

Sun Guanran said contemptuously, "Then you can't find some aunts? Why are you looking for young girls?"

Zhou Buqi snorted and said: "Secret, I didn't say anything just now. When you are older, you will have more knowledge, and you will understand many things. Those young girls have never read a book, and they don't understand anything. They come to work. Rest assured. Besides, beautiful girls are important social resources, and if they can get visas, what reason do older ones use to come to the United States?"

"Anyway, you are lust."

"Then I don't care, it's okay if you don't look for it. If you don't look for it, you will wipe the floor and clean it in the future."

"I don't wipe the floor!" Sun Guanran rolled his eyes at him, and called out tenderly, "Mu'er, can you say something?"

Feng Mu'er whispered: "I should find some housemaids."
