Top of the big era

The bathtub was a bit cramped.

Zhou Buqi could only hug Jiang Bingjie on the left and Li Xinwan on the right, let Yang Mi sit on his lap, and everyone discussed the topic of buying a house while taking a bath.

Because she felt that the winter in the capital was too cold, Li Xinwan suggested whether to go to Hainan to buy a house. This seems to be suggested by her mother, and it's not surprising. Taking advantage of being favored now, of course, she must strive for as much benefit as possible.

Zhou Buqi agreed without even thinking about it.

Since you are going to buy a house in the south, you can't favor one over the other, and treat them fairly, which means buying a house for Yang Mi and Jiang Bingjie. It is best to buy a luxury apartment by the sea, which can face the sea and be a neighbor.

But here's where things go wrong.

Jiang Bingjie's parents found out.

A young girl who is less than 20 years old, in order to play "Dream of Red Mansions", she dropped out of school halfway through. Then, turn around and go to the beach to spend more than 1.6 million to buy a large flat luxury house? Can acting make money like this?

Zhou Buqi asked, "How did you explain it?"

"I said I earned it, but they didn't believe it." Jiang Bingjie pouted and leaned her face on his shoulder.

Yang Mi laughed and said: "If it were me, I wouldn't believe it either. I told you, when buying a house, you should keep it secret, and don't let your family know about it."

Jiang Bingjie said aggrievedly: "I was already very careful, but I was discovered when I got the household registration book from home."

"Your account is still with your parents?"

"Um."

"You came to the capital to study, but you didn't move out?"

"No."

"Stupid you got it!"

Yang Mi slapped her forehead, feeling very helpless.

Jiang Bingjie said softly: "I didn't say anything, my mother guessed it herself. She asked me if I was adopted by a rich man, and I admitted it."

Yang Mi was very calm, "Normally, in our school, eight out of ten people found a lot of money outside. It's not shameful to find it, but it's shameful to find it."

Zhou Buqi glared at her angrily, "You are the only one who can? If you are capable, don't hide it?"

"I didn't hide it."

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows.

Yang Mi said lightly: "Sooner or later, my parents will find out about this kind of thing. I told them a long time ago. Well... I said it in August."

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "You said it on your own initiative?"

Yang Mi said: "Yes, I gave my mother the keys to the house you bought for me in the capital, and asked her to clean it up when she is free."

"What did you say?"

"Let's tell the truth."

"Tell the truth?" Zhou Buqi was astonished, feeling that what he said professionally was really different.

Yang Mi pursed her lips and smiled, and said casually: "I told them the night I returned home after filming "A Dream of Red Mansions". Anyway, I have graduated and grown up, so they can't control me anymore. I just said I met a godfather who is super rich and is taking care of me, willing to praise me and spend money on me. But I didn’t mention your name. They didn’t tell me when they asked me.”

Zhou Buqi twitched the corner of his mouth, "And then? Didn't beat you?"

Yang Mi couldn't laugh or cry, "Why are you beating me? My parents have never beaten me since I was a child. I was filming since I was a child, and my parents followed me. I guess I was mentally prepared for it."

Zhou Buqi nodded in satisfaction, "That's okay, your parents are quite open-minded."

Yang Mi smiled and said: "My mother also told me to be careful and ask me to find opportunities to get more money from you. I said that my godfather loves me very much and will help me start a company to make a lot of money in the future. She didn't say anything. She said that she walked out the road by herself, and she agreed."

Zhou Buqi nodded, he was always at ease with her.

This girl has organizational skills and centripetal force, and the two younger sisters, Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan, usually revolve around her.

"What about you? Your parents agree?"

Zhou Buqi patted Jiang Bingjie's white and tender arm. This girl is usually very cheerful, but now she is a little shy.

Jiang Bingjie hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Forget it... I agree."

"If you agree, you agree. What does it mean to agree?"

"My dad was very disappointed, always smoking there and sighing. My mom told me that. She asked me if I gave you everything, and I said yes. She cried on the spot, and I felt very sorry for them. .”

As she spoke, Jiang Bingjie's tears welled up in her eyes.

Li Xinwan is the most at ease, because her manager is her mother, and her mother arranged everything from the beginning to the end. There is no need to shy away from everything. This time she went abroad, she also communicated with her mother, and her mother even said to help her buy some cosmetics to take back. Anyway, Mr. Zhou has a private jet.

Yang Mi was also very calm, and said angrily: "Oh, what is the age, what are you sorry for, isn't everyone like this. How many people can't envy you."

"Well, I know, I explained it to my mother." Jiang Bingjie wiped her slightly red eyes, "My mother also understood later, and told me to protect myself and not get pregnant."

"Puchi!"

Yang Mi was amused and couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Bingjie said angrily, "Sister Mimi, what's so funny?"

Yang Mi glared at Zhou Buqi excitedly, and said with a long voice, "If you really have one, go secretly and have fun! Give birth to the child, and you will become a rich woman based on your child!"

Zhou Buqi hurriedly interrupted her, this thought was unnecessary, and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense! You've spoiled people!"

At this time, Sun Wanran hurriedly opened the bathroom door and walked in, holding the mobile phone in his hand, turning a blind eye to the four people snuggling together in the bathtub, and eagerly said, "Your phone is Secretary Qu's!"

"Keep quiet." Zhou Buqi silenced the girls, then answered the phone, and said, "Secretary Qu, I'm in London, and I haven't contacted Microsoft yet."

Secretary Qu said: "Mr. Zhou, I want to tell you about private equity funds."

"Oh, you said."

"Recently, those well-known private equity firms on Wall Street are lowering their management fees and operating fees in hopes of attracting more investors. The U.S. stock market is mainly supported by the continuous flow of dollars back, which is why big funds continue to buy enter."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Well, I know, so I want you to report to the leader."

He has now basically understood the operating logic of the US financial system.

Simply put, it is "physical consumption, virtual recycling."

Through the international status of the U.S. dollar, the United States spends U.S. dollars to buy all kinds of things around the world, such as oil, minerals, electronic equipment, food and clothing...

All they buy are products of the real economy.

However, if the U.S. dollars are spent abroad, the United States will encounter a money shortage, and will face the embarrassment of lack of money. It is necessary to find a way to withdraw the US dollar from the whole world, relying on the virtual economy.

One is U.S. bonds and the other is U.S. stocks.

The hard-working products produced all over the world are exchanged for invisible and intangible bonds and stocks in the United States. As long as the system works, it doesn't matter how high the debt is, or how frothy the stock market is.

Right now, the United States wants to save the financial market, mainly because of these two tricks.

First, issue bonds to attract international investors to continue buying large amounts of U.S. bonds, and the U.S. dollar will return to the United States.

Second, the stock market attracts international investors to hand over their money to some high-quality private equity funds, and then these private equity funds invest their money in the United States.

U.S. debt and U.S. stocks are the two largest investment projects in the world and the foundation of the world's financial system.

Secretary Qu said: "The U.S. side operates privately and asks you to set up a private equity fund to attract investors from the Middle East?"

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "Yes, that's what it means. I also received a call just now. A congressman in New York said that if the conditions are right, the New York Public Health Fund will invest 500 million US dollars in me."

"What conditions?"

"The direction of investment is locked in the US stock market."

Secretary Qu was silent for a while, and said slowly: "According to the information we have, several major sovereign funds in the Middle East have hoarded cash since August last year, with at least 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars in their hands. They also want to take advantage of the financial crisis. Opportunity to buy the bottom. The Federal Reserve promotes this plan, and it is inevitable that the money will flow back to the United States.”

Zhou Buqi heard what the other party meant.

Since it is inevitable for this money to flow back to the United States, of course it is best to put the money in our own pockets.

It seems that this private equity fund of my own can be started.

Secretary Qu said: "Since there is an opportunity to make money, of course we will not block it. However, we hope that during the process of contacting the sovereign funds in the Middle East, Mr. Zhou will suggest some domestic investment projects to them, which can at least attract some funds into Hong Kong stocks. restore the financial climate on Hong Kong Island."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "That's for sure. If I were allowed to do private equity, I would definitely participate in the Hong Kong stock market."

"Oh?" Secretary Qu was a little surprised, and asked meaningfully, "What is it?"

Zhou Buqi blushed a little, embarrassed to say so, and said very tactfully: "I work in the Internet, and I know this industry best. If I do private equity, I mainly invest in some high-tech companies in this field."

Of course, the two stocks with the most investment value in Hong Kong stocks are Ali and Penguin.

Alibaba's current stock price is only HK$3.3, which is a drop of more than 90% compared with the highest point of HK$41.8, and it has been scolded by shareholders. For Zhou Buqi, it was an excellent opportunity to buy the bottom.

In 2012, Ali was delisted from the privatization of Hong Kong stocks, and the delisting price was HK$13.5. Buy it now, and it will be recovered in 12 years, which is equivalent to earning 4 times the income in 4 years.

The average annual rate of return is 100%.

As for Penguin, let alone, it is definitely one of the most valuable stocks in the world today.

After the phone call ended, Zhou Buqi was very happy.

This is all right, I really want to engage in private placement!

Moreover, there is a sense behind this that China and the United States will join forces to absorb the cash flow of the local tyrants in the Middle East... Hong Kong stocks are definitely not comparable to U.S. stocks, but U.S. stocks can eat meat and Hong Kong stocks can eat soup.

The role of Zhou Buqi is not how much money he has attracted, but a signboard, the purpose of which is the head effect. This wave of publicity starting from the "Wall Street Journal" is actually using his personal fame and personal influence to push the stock market higher.

Once his private equity fund is established, investors all over the world will pay attention to his investment direction and may follow suit. The amount of funds driven by following the trend is the most important.

"That's it, don't talk about buying Manchester United, you can buy ten Manchester United! Let's go, go back to the room to celebrate!"

Zhou Buqi was high-spirited, and casually threw the mobile phone on the table beside the bathtub, tightened his left and right sides, wrapped his arms around Yang Mi's slender waist in front of him, and directly hugged the three girls.

Although their bodies were light, they added up to more than 250 kilograms. The water in the bathtub was slippery, and as a result they staggered, and the four of them rolled naked into a ball and fell into the bathtub.

The water in the bathtub splashed and made a "plop".
