Top of the big era

In the morning, Zhou Buqi wanted to take a nap.

But the four girls around them, Yang Mi, Jiang Bingjie, Li Xinwan and Dilireya, were not used to this life of jet lag. They couldn't sleep at around seven o'clock in the morning, so they all climbed out of bed.

Although they moved carefully and lightly, they were afraid of disturbing Zhou Buqi. But he was very sleepy and still woke up. Thinking that he still had something serious to talk about in the morning, he simply stopped sleeping.

He picked up a bath towel from the bedside and wrapped it around his waist, then went to the bathroom shirtless.

Then, I saw an interesting scene.

Four girls, Yang Mi, Jiang Bingjie, Li Xinwan and Dilireya, stood in a row. They were all wrapped in only a very narrow white bath towel. Their hair was slightly fluffy and spread over their fair and delicate shoulders. Each of them held a hand. Holding a toothbrush and a toothbrush, he stood in front of the sink and brushed his teeth.

That is to say, Zhou Buqi's bathroom has been specially customized. There is a two-meter-long sink, which is matched with a large bed, a large bathtub, and a large mirror.

If it were smaller, it still wouldn't fit.

Zhou Buqi also came over and stood between them. He also picked up a new toothbrush and together they faced the large mirror opposite and brushed their teeth in front of it.

Five pairs of eyes looked at the big mirror, big eyes facing small eyes, mouths full of toothpaste foam, brushing together, it was quite interesting.

Then, everyone couldn't help laughing.

After brushing their teeth, the girls have to wash their faces.

This is too slow.

Just apply various facial cleansers several times.

Zhou Buqi refused to interfere with them and took Dilireya to the shower room enclosed by a glass window to simply rinse off.

Although they had showered before going to bed after making love last night, they were still in the jet lag stage after all.

Take a shower early in the morning to feel better.

Zhou Buqi took Re Ya and walked into the shower room, where he simply rinsed off and did nothing else. After breakfast, we have to go to the company to prepare, and then go to meet Mr. Wanda Wang’s team.

If you pull them all together to take a shower, skin-to-skin contact will inevitably lead to some more intimate behaviors, but it's better to stop in moderation.

Zhou Buqi didn't need to do anything, Reya took the bath flowers and applied bath liquid to him very considerately, and asked casually: "How are you getting along in the studio?"

Dilireya pursed her lips and smiled softly, "It's good, they are all good sisters."

"Are they also college students?"

"Two of them are, and the others are all graduates. There is one named Li Xirui, who is my good sister. We have a good relationship, and she is excellent."

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi has heard of the name Li Xirui, and he can be considered a small star. "How outstanding is he?"

Dilireya said softly: "She is now a senior student, studying at the Conservatory of Music. However, she has already released her own album, and several TV series were released last year. We were on the phone yesterday, and she She said she was preparing for the Spring Festival Gala of Wannan Channel. Last year, she also participated in some cross-strait friendship programs and a China-Korea co-production. Anyway, she became famous."

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "She has a sponsor?"

Reya shook her head gently, "No."

"No?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and didn't believe it at all.

Dilireya's eyes were clear and she said seriously: "It's really not true. That time she secretly asked me if I could also introduce my sponsor to her."

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Does she know it's me?"

"No..." Dilireya smiled, a little coquettishly, "I didn't tell who she was. But she seems to have little money. The clothes she wears are all Taobao products, and she rented a small 40-square-meter apartment outside."

Zhou Buqi said: "Try not to admit this kind of thing outside in the future. If anyone asks you if you have a sponsor, just say no."

Dilireya whispered: "I didn't admit it at first, but the cosmetics I used, the clothes I wore, the private cars I had for traveling, and the drivers and bodyguards... she was very envious and guessed it."

"And you admitted it?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, feeling that she was still young and a bit naive.

It's better to die than admit this kind of thing.

As a good bestie in the circle, who knows if your personal privacy will be leaked behind the scenes? A lot of industry gossip comes from insiders.

Dilireya squatted down, used bath spray to smear shower gel on his legs, and whispered softly: "I didn't admit it at first, but then she asked several times, and I admitted it. She just wanted me to help. Introduction, I mentioned it several times. Then I asked Sister Mimi, and she said no, she even criticized me and told me not to talk nonsense about these things in the future."

Zhou Buqi still trusted Yang Mi and said with a smile, "What did she say? Why not? Has this Li Xirui had a sponsor before?"

Dilireya shook her head slightly, "Sister Mimi just said that she had had several boyfriends before, but she didn't say whether she had a sponsor."

Zhou Buqi rubbed her hair and said with a smile: "There is no need to envy others. When you graduate, you will get better resources in the industry. No one can compare with you."

Got dressed, had breakfast and was ready to go.

Sun Wanran, Jiang Bingjie, Li Xinwan, and Dilireya went to Lightwood to enjoy the winter snow scenery, take photos, drink coffee, and admire the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains and the snow-covered mountain lakes in Mono County.

Zhou Buqi was accompanied by Ning Lu and Yang Mi as they went to the company.

It's interesting to say.

Generally, big bosses will have one or several senior assistants around them, who act as "strategists" and make some decisions or suggestions.

Zhou Buqi doesn't. When he goes around the world, he is accompanied by several beauties, plus some personal security guards.

He doesn't need a kobold strategist.

A few secretaries will look at the materials and briefly explain the general situation. They can make their own judgments on big and small matters.

This time I went to see Boss Wang, it was very typical.

Ning Lu and Yang Mi, one a little secretary and the other a little star, helped Zhou Buqi figure out the overall idea of ​​acquiring AMC theaters.

Zhou Buqi's paraphrase can be the final word.

That's often the case.

Same thing, it depends on who says it.

When people with different identities say it, it will have different meanings.

For example, last year the movie market shrank severely, causing panic. However, many senior people and consulting organizations in Hollywood have made comments and put the responsibility for the shrinking industry on 3D movies.

As long as the quality of 3D movies improves, the industry can recover quickly.

This is a relatively widespread understanding in the industry.

Wanda’s boss Wang wants to acquire AMC Cinemas. He may not know much about the film and television industry personally, but he must have senior people under him who have analyzed it for him and expounded similar views.

At this time, the most critical point comes.

Analysis after analysis, who believes it?

When entrepreneurs make decisions, the most taboo thing is to listen to the nonsense of economists, sociologists, consultants, analysts, etc. These people can say whatever they want, whatever they want. But entrepreneurs are different. They need to invest real money.

Economists and industry analysts are wrong. If they are wrong, they are wrong. How can anyone be infallible even if they are not saints?

Sometimes it's right, sometimes it's wrong, that's normal.

It’s very difficult for entrepreneurs, especially when it comes to large-scale acquisitions worth billions of dollars. You must not go wrong!

Once something goes wrong, at least tens of thousands of people will lose their jobs, tens of thousands of families will lose their financial resources, and at worst, the entire company will go bankrupt.

This is the most critical point.

One is saying, the other is doing.

You can say whatever you want with red lips and white teeth, no matter how beautiful you are; but what you really do is you have to endure pressure, take risks, and take on responsibilities.

In the final analysis, it still depends on the decisiveness of an entrepreneur.

No matter how nice and clear what others say, it can only be used as a reference.

Therefore, this is also a very significant difference that will be encountered when conducting large-scale mergers and acquisitions transactions at home and abroad.

Foreign mergers and acquisitions, especially large transactions, will organize a very large advisory group. The so-called advisory group is to invite a group of well-known entrepreneurs with social status and ask them to provide opinions.

Economists, sociologists, analysts, and consultants should all get out and ask entrepreneurs who have actually fought in the mall to provide ideas.

The inspiration and intuition of an entrepreneur talking nonsense is more useful than the rigorous analysis of an economist.

For example, Carl Icahn wanted to acquire Yahoo a few years ago and compete for agency rights. He formed a 10-member advisory group, each of whom has a strong background. As long as the acquisition is completed, these 10 people will be the new Yahoo board members.

Including Zhou Buqi himself, he had been invited to join the advisory group for such large transactions four or five times.

In fact, there is nothing to do.

I just went over to hold a few meetings, say a few words, and make a few suggestions. Then, you can get hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in consulting fees. Boss Ma had boasted to Zhou Buqi at the beginning, saying that when Microsoft originally offered $44.6 billion to acquire Yahoo, it offered him a consulting fee of $5 million.

It is because of such figures that they truly have the right to speak and have credibility.

The same thing is said by ordinary people, but no one believes it; but when people like Zhou Buqi and Boss Ma say it, it is of great reference value and can promote large-scale transactions.

This kind of "advisory group" model is not popular in China. The country will crack down on this model of a group of capitalists working together to do things behind the scenes, and the opinions of the leaders should still be given priority.

Wanda's overseas acquisition of AMC theaters this time does not have the constraints of many messy relationships, so it is more appropriate for Zhou Buqi to serve as their consultant.

The same 3D blame-taking argument has completely different value when it comes to Wanda executives, Hollywood analysts, Ning Lu and Yang Mi, and Zhou Buqi.

Wanda's acquisition of AMC theaters is extremely risky.

Mr. Wang is also considering the situation.

If AMC theaters were so good, wouldn't they have been snatched away by the entertainment giants in Europe and the United States long ago? Will it be Wanda's turn? The fundamental reason is that the entertainment giants are confused about the future of the film and television industry, and they do not believe the arguments of Hollywood analysts.

AMC Theaters is in a trough, everyone knows it.

However, what if instead of buying the bottom, I bought it halfway up the mountain, what would it be like?

What if the film market doesn’t pick up and continues to slump?

How can a simple 3D movie completely take the blame for the complexity of reality?

When Zhou Buqi went to see Mr. Wang this time, it was actually very simple. He just used his own name and his own mouth to tell him the analysis of Ning Lu and Yang Mi.

In order to strengthen his belief in acquiring AMC theaters.

Better not procrastinate!

We must fight quickly!

The longer you delay, the higher the price and the less cost-effective it is!

As Yang Mi said, it is best to resolve the battle before May, which is in the best interest of oneself.
