Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi respected Senior Sister Zhen Yu's suggestion and called Mai Feixue to the study.

This was her first time in the big boss's study.

Wearing a set of loose-fitting short-sleeved shorts and ice silk pajamas, it was not slim-fitting. However, this girl's figure is so explosive that even this cannot conceal her stunner-like charm.

She was a little cautious and stood at the door, not daring to move. She raised her head cautiously, waiting for the big boss's instructions.

Zhou Buqi smiled and expressed his concern, "How are you, has your body recovered?"

Mai Feixue understood it immediately, and two red clouds rose on her face, "Okay...much better."

Zhou Buqi raised his head and glanced at him, "Then you want to go to my room tonight?"

"Okay, okay."

Mai Feixue quickly lowered her head and spoke in a low voice. She was embarrassed to look at him and felt very embarrassed. I feel that the life of a big boss is really different from that of ordinary people. When talking about such things, they are all straightforward.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Okay, then you take a shower, then go to my room and get under the covers and wait. I'll come find you when I'm done here."

"Then..." Mai Feixue bit her lip gently and gathered up her courage, "Then can I use your bathroom?"

Zhou Buqi said grandly: "Okay, let's go take a bath. It's almost the same, except that the bathtub is a bit bigger. Go and call Ning Lu. I may be busy here for a while. You two can talk."

"Oh, okay, okay."

Mai Feixue took the order and left, really thinking that she had called Assistant Ning Lu over to talk to her.

Zhou Buqi started to get busy here.

Mainly two things.

First, communicate with Zhou Shaoning and ask about the progress of negotiations between Asda, Google and Motorola. If necessary, he can come forward.

Google’s acquisition of Twitter has reached a critical stage.

Zhou Buqi has received emails from several big investors on Twitter, saying that he was free and wanted to sit down and talk and study the details.

Founder Evan Williams is unwilling to sell Twitter, but his shares are too small and his voice is too weak.

As long as Google's offer is sincere enough and can provide shareholders with attractive bargaining chips, it will only be a matter of time before Twitter becomes a subsidiary of Google.

Now there is only one hidden danger before everyone. Don’t let Twitter’s core management fall apart because of this transaction, causing this product to decline rapidly.

The most critical link is Jack Dorsey, the current CEO of Twitter.

Ivan Williams has a feud with Google and is unwilling to cooperate, life or death.

But Jack Dorsey is different. He has no old grudges with Google. As long as he does not resign and can continue to serve as Twitter's CEO and stabilize the overall situation, there will be no resistance to Google's acquisition of Twitter.

Dorsey only needs to persist for a year or two, and when the people from Google become familiar with Twitter's business and gradually take over, he can leave Twitter.

If you want to solve this matter, the first level to overcome is Boss Zhou.

The relationship between Zhou Buqi and Jack Dorsey is not very good.

In the past few years, Zhou Buqi has been thinking about incorporating Twitter into the "Ziwei Galaxy" and promoting a unified grand strategy.

However, Jack Dorsey disagrees.

The two sides had many confrontations on the board of directors and had several frictions.

This is related to the face of Boss Zhou.

This worries several big organizations behind Google and Twitter.

What if the boss is very dissatisfied with Jack Dorsey and wants to take him down at any cost?

With Zhou Buqi's current status and influence in the industry, his attitude is enough to attract the attention of all parties and give him the greatest respect.

This really underestimates Zhou Buqi's magnanimity.

He immediately made a phone call with Larry Page and made his attitude bluntly clear. He was not that stingy. When he is free after a while, he will go over there, invite Jack Dorsey out, and have a frank talk.

Public is public, private is private.

One yard is one yard.

We are all colleagues, how can we have enemies?

Zhou Buqi said that he would strongly support Jack Dorsey to continue to serve as Twitter's CEO and promote Google's acquisition of Twitter.

In fact, there is a more important point that he did not say.

Jack Dorsey is an entrepreneurial genius. While serving as CEO of Twitter, he founded Square, a mobile payment company. The business is headquartered in New York and has become a well-known emerging startup company in the area.

Zhou Buqi has a long-term plan, which is to incorporate Square into the territory of "Ziwei Galaxy", so that at least a relatively extensive cooperation can be established.

If you take a step back, you can at least participate in investment and get some shares. After Square goes public, the return can be hundreds of times.

If we can promote cooperation between Square and Alipay and let them learn Alipay... that would be great. Square's future is limitless.

The second thing is even more important.

Regarding the reorganization of Changyou.

Zhou Buqi will become the new chairman of Changyou and reorganize the board of directors and management. This is a major change for Changyou, a listed company.

You need to give the outside world a convincing enough reason.

Just relying on his reputation and status in the industry is a bit like taking advantage of the situation. The best situation is for Zhou Buqi to take over Changyou as a major shareholder.

This makes it more and more justified.

How to become a major shareholder?

It is to promote Changyou’s acquisition of the game division of Ziweixing International.

On the Ziweixing International side, after completing the sale of EA by a friend's studio, it then started to evaluate the value of the remaining business of the game division.

There are three main businesses: "Angry Birds", "Minecraft" and Baokai Game Studio.

Lu Qi said: "Our internal assessment is US$7.4 billion, which is the bottom line. The valuation given by KPMG is US$9.2 billion, which is a relatively fair offer."

"KPMG?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "This is what we invited, right?"

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Yes. But the KPMG brand is there. It is a third party that is authoritative enough to give the market an upright explanation."

Zhou Buqi was very cautious about this, "No, it cannot be true. There cannot be any suspicion that internal transactions between Changyou and Ziweixing will harm the rights and interests of small shareholders."

This is very critical.

It is also the main review factor for whether Changyou’s acquisition of Ziweixing’s game division can be passed by supervision.

Zhou Buqi has absolute say in both Ziweixing International and Changyou. For this deal, he can basically do whatever he wants.

He said that it was okay for Changyou to buy the game division for US$100 million; he said that it was completely okay for Changyou to buy the game division for US$10 billion.

No one can stop him.

This kind of internal trading can easily cause controversy.

If the price is too low, the minority shareholders' rights and interests of Ziweixing International will be harmed; if the price is too high, Changyou's minority shareholders' rights and interests will also be harmed.

There must be a transaction price that is fair and widely recognized by the market.

In fact, if Zhou Buqi really wanted to play tricks on the transaction, he could do it, but there was no need... He really didn't know what tricks would be beneficial to him in this transaction.

The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh.

Just deal fairly, fairly, openly and transparently. This little trivial matter at the moment is just a small amount of money. In the future, when Changyou develops the game industry, it will be a real source of wealth.

Lu Qi tentatively said, "Then hire another firm?"

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, "Is there still enough time?"

Lu Qi said with a smile: "Efficiency can be linked to money. As long as the bid is high enough, efficiency can be improved."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a moment and said, "Let Changyou come forward. Changyou will send a financial team, and then Changyou will hire an accounting firm."

Lu Qi was a little surprised, "Isn't that just on the surface?"

Zhou Buqi hummed: "Then sign a confidentiality contract and don't let all parties reveal the information. In the early stage, the main thing is to prepare the relevant materials. The more complete the better."

Lu Qi smiled and said: "Now that we have both the host and the guest, please hire two authoritative third parties. That's enough! It can be used anywhere. You don't have to worry too much. There are too many internal transactions in large companies. There are so many shady transactions, but the authorities have turned a blind eye."

"Yeah?"

"Just like Viacom and CBS, after merging, they split, and then merged again... They are completely the financial tools of the Redstone family. But there is no way, Viacom owns Paramount, CBS is one of the three major television networks and is an important pillar of the American entertainment industry. As long as it is clearly explained that there are benefits to the merger, the authorities will agree to the merger; if it is clearly explained that the benefits of the merger are beneficial, the authorities will agree to the split. Regulatory agencies This is not the thinking of the court, but it will still consider the overall economic situation. As long as it is conducive to the overall economic situation, there is no harm in the small comings and goings."

"It's not necessary, just do it cleanly." Zhou Buqi disagreed very much, "Only when the sun is declining will you engage in such sneaky things. There have been several times when Redstone's children wanted to invite I go to his parties and I don’t even bother to go. Don’t follow their example.”

Lu Qizan said: "Okay, can you contact Changyou?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, let me do it. You can help me get it started first, so hurry up."

"Okay." Lu Qi seemed to have issued a military order, "The case can be concluded within a month!"

Ziweixing and Changyou are both thoughtful companies, so there is no need for the process of wrangling and bargaining between the two parties.

That would work too easily.

Prepare enough documents and materials, find an authoritative third party to notarize, and give a clear explanation to the public and regulatory agencies, and the case can be completed.

When the time comes, Zhou Buqi will take the game division of Ziweixing International and join Changyou!

By then, he will be Changyou's largest shareholder and appear as a savior. It will become more and more justifiable to become Changyou's chairman, thereby gaining widespread recognition, praise and expectations.
