Top of the big era

In April, Zhou Buqi returned to China after attending the D9 conference.

Baoshan has not finished confinement yet, so she should not move too much.

I just stayed in my hometown in Northeast China.

Zhou Buqi went back to spend time with his wife, look after the children, and care about Aunt Xue, but he had no time to spare and set off in two days. First I went to the capital and attended Changyou’s shareholders’ meeting this year.

At the shareholders' meeting, a very clear signal was released.

Changyou is about to complete the acquisition of gaming company take-two!

After the news was released, Changyou’s stock price rose again.

The more Changyou's stock price rose thanks to take-two, the more anxious they became. They watched Changyou's stock price rise steadily, but they couldn't participate.

I returned to Ziweixing and participated in a meeting on the product strategy of "Domestic WeChat, Overseas Helo". Then I returned to the office and named Guan Nanqing and Gu Zanli, saying that I would take them with me on this business trip.

Without stopping, I got on the plane directly and went to England first.

Watch the Manchester United game.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, Manchester United faced Real Madrid at home.

During this period in the previous life, Manchester United fell to the bottom of the Champions League due to a lack of big-money signings and a weak lineup, failing to qualify for the group stage.

Boss Zhou's Manchester United is different, with strong troops and strong momentum.

Defending champion again.

Passed all the way and reached the semi-finals.

It's a pity that the opponent is Real Madrid, which is in full swing. Mourinho's Real Madrid plays football that dazzles the entire Europe. This semi-final is more attractive than the other semi-final between Barcelona and Chelsea.

Zhou Buqi is going to watch the game at home.

After getting on the plane, Gu Zanli took Guan Nanqing and went back to the room to take a shower, put on a clean and tidy nightgown, gently pulled up her wet hair, and sprayed a little perfume.

After doing the preliminary preparations, you can go to bed at any time.

As a business owner, what he dislikes the most is employees who lie down, even female employees. People like Gu Zanli who have such strong subjective initiative are very lovable.

As a little secretary, she is also the mouthpiece of the big boss.

Guzanli seized an opportunity and leaned forward, saying in a low voice: "Boss, there is a new intern in the administrative office."

"Are there not many interns?"

Zhou Buqi didn't find it strange.

As a socially responsible company, Ziweixing must of course provide enough internship positions.

This type of internship position has the self-interest of finding outstanding talents for your own company, and it also has the altruism of helping young people adapt to the workplace quickly.

Regardless of whether the two parties can sign a contract after the internship period, there is a certain degree of mutual benefit.

However, there are many companies in society that cannot do this.

They are completely squeezing young people in the name of internship. For example, they are given a one-year internship period, and then there is no salary during the internship period. After one year, we will look at the other person's performance before deciding whether to hire him or her.

In fact, it is requisitioning free labor.

Gu Zanli said softly: "This intern is different. She runs to us every now and then... I was so frightened that I went to report to Vice President Guo Dan. But it didn't work. She always ran here. Still asking about this and that.”

Zhou Buqi's expression was a little strange, "That freshman girl from Tsinghua University?"

Guzanli nodded repeatedly, "Well, that's her, Sister Milk Tea. If it weren't for her being a celebrity, we definitely wouldn't have given her a good look. She's like a commercial spy, asking you questions for any reason."

"What are you asking?"

"I asked you if you have a girlfriend, if you are married, what is your lifestyle like, if you have a love interest, etc... But we didn't say anything."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Tell Guo Dan to transfer her from her post and transfer her to Sohu Building. Don't let her be here at the headquarters."

Gu Zanli was very happy, "I think so, there seems to be something wrong with this person. He told me that time that he wanted me to find a way to introduce her to you, and he also said that he could give me a large introduction fee." "

"Referral fee?"

"Well, the introduction is 100,000, and there will be another 1 million after the event is completed."

"That's a lot!"

Zhou Buqi is a bit funny.

Gu Zanli curled her lips and hummed: "She also said a lot of incomprehensible things, and told me that she was a virgin...as if she was not a virgin. I don't know what she was showing off. There are several others in our office. She is being raised there, no one is worse than her."

Zhou Buqi said: "Stay away from this kind of people in the future. Don't be a bad learner. It's just like making money. The more you want to make money, the less money you can make. On the contrary, you don't think about money and just put your money in peace." Do your job well and don't always think about opportunistic things."

Guzanli blinked a few times, "What is my job?"

"You don't know this?" Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, a little helpless, "Forget it, call Guan Nanqing, and I will go to the room to teach you both a lesson."

…

Klopp was beaten.

His rock-and-roll offensive football was defeated by Mourinho's defensive counterattack. It was the worst home game of the season, losing to Real Madrid 1:4.

It is almost impossible to overturn such a score.

The young coach Klopp was taught a lesson by the more mature Mourinho.

Fortunately, there is a high probability that the Premier League championship can be retained. Before that, they also won the League Cup. This is already a very successful season.

Zhou Buqi went to London from Manchester to see the renovated new home.

On the same day, I received a call from Zhang Chaoyang from New York, "The plan is finalized, have you read it?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I haven't read the email yet, how about it?"

Zhang Chaoyang said: "With a premium of 25%, the acquisition of take-two was completed with a transaction volume of approximately US$2.2 billion. Of this, US$440 million required cash payment, and the remaining US$1.76 billion was a stock swap, which was approximately 6.5% dilution."

"1.76 billion US dollars..." Zhou Buqi was quite satisfied with this figure. "I think it's OK. I'm in London. Lao Zhang, you can handle it with full authority. Through this matter, you can show your authority in Changyou to avoid those Foreign employees only know that there is a big boss, but they don’t know that there is a second boss..."

"Who is the big boss and who is the second boss?" Zhang Chaoyang was a little angry, "I gave Changyou to you!"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."

Zhang Chaoyang snorted and thought of something again, "You're in London. It's a good time to go and see what happened at the game studio Codemasters."

"What's wrong?"

"It seems like their car game has been downgraded by the operator."

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows.

After the game is developed, it must be handed over to an operating company to operate it on its behalf. Codemasters Game Studio, for example, only does game development and is not responsible for game operation. It must be handed over to other companies.

It's just like a movie.

After the movie is made, it needs to be shown in theaters.

There is room for maneuver here.

Theaters can find various reasons to downgrade a movie they don't like. If there are fewer films scheduled, the box office will naturally shrink significantly.

The gaming market is similar.

Who is causing trouble?
