Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi called Yang Mi.

Everyone is pregnant, so they always have to show their gentle side.

After asking, it turned out that it was pretty much what Ning Lu had guessed.

Yang Mi had nothing to do this month, so she had a surprise sign. She bought a pregnancy test stick and took it home... and it turned out to be positive, and she was really pregnant.

However, this thing has an error rate, and I plan to go to the hospital for a real check tomorrow.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Okay, I'm finally pregnant. My efforts were not in vain."

Yang Mi was very happy and said excitedly: "Then can I give birth?"

"I finally got pregnant, why didn't I give birth?"

Zhou Buqi is not a scumbag after all.

It's really too much to make someone's belly bigger and not let her give birth. She is not young anymore, she is twenty-six or seven years old, and she is old enough to be a mother.

Yang Mi was very sweet in her heart and said happily: "I did some calculations, we went to Europe last month and got pregnant there, so it was probably in London. London is really my lucky place!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well, since you are pregnant, you should take good care of the fetus, pay attention to diet, pay attention to rest, and don't be too stressed."

Yang Mi said happily: "No pressure, no pressure. I'm even pregnant with a child. No matter how big a thing is, it's a trivial matter. Giving birth to a child for the sponsor's father is the top priority."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Have you told Reya and Bingjie?"

Yang Mi said enthusiastically: "Not yet, I plan to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. If there is nothing wrong, I will tell them...so that she will not have a wasted joy with me. When the exact news comes out, I will tell the sisters Call us and celebrate together!”

"I think there's no problem!" Zhou Buqi felt that the probability of the pregnancy test being wrong was still very low. "It's been more than a year, so I should be pregnant."

Yang Mi said happily: "I think so!"

Zhou Buqi said: "Okay, let's go back to China next week. I'll see you then... Well, call your parents too, and let's discuss the matter of raising a concubine for you. You are so good and sensible, so always I can’t treat you badly.”

"Really?"

"Well, you should give them some air first and be mentally prepared."

"No, I've already told them."

Yang Mi smiled and felt that this year was her lucky year.

Zhou Buqi said: "There are some elderly people who may not be able to accept it. Now is a new era, it is different from the past."

Yang Mi said: "No, my family is different. I...I have a relative, I call her Fourth Aunt. She never got married. In the 1990s, she went to work with a big boss who went to sea to do business. Now When she got older, her uncle no longer went to live with her, but she could still receive a living allowance of ten thousand or twenty thousand from him every month. Life was very comfortable in the past few years. The first time I went abroad was Fourth aunt is taking mine."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "That should be quite rich."

"Alas!" Yang Mi sighed softly, "She was quite rich, probably tens of millions... Just in the capital alone, she has three apartments. But she has a lot of unreliable friends, some of whom live there every day. Go gamble. She didn’t originally gamble, but she has been taken into it in the past few years. According to my mother, it seems that her family’s fortune has been lost, and now she still owes millions in foreign debt.”

Zhou Buqi said: "We don't have much money, so go and help."

Yang Mi said softly: "I'm not needed. It seems that the old man she found paid to help her solve the problem. He knelt down and kowtowed, and the uncle softened his heart."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "A man with some ability will not be hard-hearted in front of women."

Yang Mi smiled and said: "My mother said that she became popular only when she was a child."

Zhou Buqi said: "Each has its own benefits."

…

Life here in the United States is relatively casual. If it is in China, Japan and South Korea, some very formal business talks are often held in standard conference rooms. There will be dedicated receptionists and waiters, and there will be a long or The oval negotiation table should be paired with soft colors and music.

Wall Street is very casual here, just find a place, everyone crosses their legs, and settles many major issues like a normal chatter.

This time, Larry Fink from Black Rock Capital was looking for Zhou Buqi, and they made an appointment at the coffee shop on the third floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

After all, entertaining the world's richest man is a very high standard.

After meeting, Larry Fink first talked about the progress of the matter. He had contacted many PayPal shareholders, and some were indeed willing to transfer some of their shares.

Black Rock Capital plans to invest US$1.2 billion to US$1.5 billion to acquire approximately 2% to 3% of PayPal’s stock.

Then apply to join the board of directors.

With the influence of Black Rock Capital and the careful care within the board of directors, there is almost no obstacle to getting them to join PayPal's board of directors.

Zhou Buqi said another thing, "By the way, I'm preparing a big project recently. I wonder if you are interested."

"Yes! How come there isn't?" The focus of Larry Fink's current work is around the big project of "Investment Zhou Buqi". "As long as you participate in the project, we are very interested! We even have The team is launching a new index.”

"Index?" Zhou Buqi was slightly startled, "What index?"

Larry Fink said: "Zhou Bu Qi Index."

"What?"

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised.

Larry Fink laughed and said: "Really, our analysts and actuaries are starting this project. The 'Weekly Index' will be officially launched together with the 'Investment Weekly' project, and it is expected to be launched this year We can start raising funds in September.”

Zhou Buqi had a black line on his forehead, "Use my name as an index standard?"

Larry Fink said: "It won't be named after you, but the official name hasn't been confirmed yet. That's probably what it means. We will collect all the companies related to you and launch an index. This way As a result, our investors can more clearly see the profit and loss of this project through changes in the index.”

Zhou Buqi was really in a trance and didn't know what to say.

I feel like this Larry Fink can really fix things.

The S\u0026P Index, the Dow Jones Index, the Shanghai Composite Index, the Shanghai Composite 500 Index, the CSI 50 Index, etc., are all aimed at many stocks on an entire exchange. Larry Fink, he is trying to create one for one person. Indexed.

What is this for?

Establish a personality cult?

Zhou Buqi frowned slightly, "How should this index standard be formulated? My companies are not all listed on the same exchange. Some are on the New York Stock Exchange, some are on Nasdaq, some are in London, and some are in Tokyo. Some are in Seoul, some are in Hong Kong... How can we count these listed companies all over the world?"

Larry Fink laughed: "This is not a problem, just calculate it in U.S. dollars. We have the best actuaries, and they can develop the best index standards."

Zhou Buqi twitched his lips, "Count all the companies related to me?"

"Well..." Larry Fink hesitated for a moment and said frankly, "This was my original plan, but there was still some resistance within the project, and I also made certain compromises. This 'Zhou Buqi Index' , mainly selects 50 listed companies related to you and raises funds from the public in the form of public funds."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What should I do with some projects that are not listed on the market?"

Larry Fink said: "In addition to public funds, we will also set up a private equity fund specifically to invest in some unlisted projects and open to some high-quality investors."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Public funds are open to the public, and most investors are ordinary people in society. Such fund operations require openness and transparency, and many more complex and risky investments cannot be made.

It would be different if there was a private equity fund.

Private placement means not public.

You can do a lot of private transactions.
