Top of the big era

Senior Sister Zhen Yu’s workplace is in New York.

She controls three companies.

They are Pluto Capital, Neptune Capital, and the Zhou family fund.

Three companies work together.

There are 16 employees in total.

She has been very distressed recently.

Because a financial manager she relied on very much, Ricks, submitted a resignation report.

Zhou Buqi came to New York this time mainly to participate in Alibaba's listing. After all, Ziweixing International will play a very important role in Alibaba's IPO, because Yahoo and Alibaba's terms will be the largest investor in the issuance of old shares.

Ziweixing International will issue 118 million Alibaba shares to the market.

A total of 262 million shares will be issued in Alibaba's listing this time, of which only 149 million additional shares will be issued, and most of the rest will come from Ziweixing International. In other words, in Alibaba’s IPO, the money from the 149 million additional shares issued belongs to Ali; the money from the 118 million shares sold from Ziweixing International belongs to Ziweixing International.

On the surface, Boss Ma is the big winner.

In fact, there is boss Zhou behind the scenes. He went through such a complicated plan to acquire Yahoo two years ago. This cannot be in vain.

So this is important.

Senior Sister Zhen Yu also needs to participate, because in addition to Ziweixing International, the Zhou family also holds nearly 300 million shares of Alibaba stock.

"Alibaba's IPO is different from Ziweixing's. The specific issuance price may not be determined until tomorrow morning." Senior sister Zhen Yu obviously knows more about finance and finance than Zhou Buqi. "After all, I don't know much about the United States." For investors, Alibaba’s listing is too risky. With such a high market value and stock price, coupled with the current geopolitical risks, the situation may change overnight.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "So, Ziweixing went public last year. It was really a good time! If it happens this year, it might be more troublesome than Ali!"

This year, relations between the East and the West have been tense due to Russia's invasion of Crimea.

This naturally affects financial markets.

Alibaba is a super giant with a market capitalization of over US$200 billion. All parties will be cautious about an IPO of this level.

Wall Street does not want to harm the interests of American investors, and Alibaba does not want Wall Street to push down the issuance price. Therefore, the specific issuance price will be determined based on the real-time international situation and capital market dynamics when the market opens tomorrow morning.

Zhen Yu said softly: "I don't think there will be any trouble with Alibaba's listing, but it is a little troublesome on my side."

Zhou Buqi understood that women always need pain from men. He walked over and sat with her, smiled and took her hand, "I know, I will go to your room tonight."

"What did you say? It's not this."

Zhen Yu rolled her eyes at him.

"Ah?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "What is that?"

Zhen Yu said: "My financial manager Ricks has applied for resignation. I persuaded him, but he still has to leave. I really can't leave him now. It's already September, and the annual audit will be done soon. If it happens again If it were a different financial manager, Neptune Capital would be prone to trouble.”

Zhou Buqi asked: "What does he do?"

Zhen Yu said: "The person who helps me manage Neptune's business is a very important helper to me. His annual salary has exceeded 4 million US dollars. I don't know what he is dissatisfied with."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's not money that people care about!"

"What should we do?"

"In fact, it is a concept of personnel management. Employees are divided into two categories, one is ordinary employees and the other is core employees. What is popular in China now is the difference between outsourced employees and regular employees. You should treat core employees as employees of the company Investors. You are responsible for your investors, and you are responsible for their appreciation.”

"OK."

"The Rex you are talking about must feel that he has no future in Neptune and has lost room for growth."

"Well, that's it."

Zhen Yu nodded seriously.

Seeing how calm she was, Zhou Buqi guessed a bit and said with a smile: "Good senior sister, are you trying to set a trap on me? Just tell me if you have anything to do. It's not like you don't know that I don't like to use condoms the most. "

"I'm telling you something serious!"

Zhen Yu slapped him angrily.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Buqi didn't believe that such a trivial matter could stump Senior Sister Zhen Yu. She and Shi Jinglin were the strong women who were the backbone of the family.

Zhen Yu said: "How about... how about allocating 100 million US dollars from Neptune Capital and giving it to Ricks so that he can truly perform the duties of an investment manager? Pluto and Neptune are now fulfilling your will. After buying the stock, it has been stuck without any adjustments. For investment managers, watching the stock changes every day and then calculating accounts every day lacks growth. "

Pluto Capital and Neptune Capital are private equity funds established by Zhou Buqi a few years ago.

The investment strategy is simple.

I bought high-growth technology stocks such as Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Adobe, and then stopped moving. I held them for a long time and waited for appreciation. Zhou Buqi earns high investment income from this, which is equivalent to two to three billion US dollars every year.

However, such an investment strategy is too unfriendly to investment managers.

They act like fools.

Every day I can only calculate the accounts, how much I lost and how much I earned, write some financial reports and send them to investors, and all I do is the lowest level of work.

As an investment manager, your core job should be stock picking!

They should be constantly buying low and selling high. This shows their level.

It is difficult for value investments held for a long time to show their ability. Without opportunities for experience, there will be no channels for personal growth, and excellent managers will naturally want to leave.

Senior Sister Zhen Yu actually has a solution.

Just spend 100 million US dollars and operate it alone.

Leave it to an investment manager, let him operate in the market, and give him a chance to gain experience. This will stabilize people's hearts and retain senior talents who can provide a lot of help to her.

Zhou Buqi asked: "How much money is there in the account now?"

Zhen Yu said softly: "At today's price, the size of Pluto Capital is US$19.4 billion, and the value of Neptune Capital is US$24.8 billion."

"It's such a large scale..."

"Well, it's because you have good vision. The stocks you selected have grown too fast in the past few years. This is why we have to take profit dividends every year, otherwise the current asset value will only be higher."

"Then let's do it!" Zhou Buqi was in a good mood, "The scale is already 20 billion US dollars... Neptune Capital and Pluto Capital each spend 100 million US dollars to give senior talents to operate independently. This is very little. There may be talented pitchers. , it can also earn us an extra three melons and two dates.”

Zhen Yu couldn't help but laugh and said angrily: "What are you looking down on? My two financial managers are both top students, one graduated from Yale and the other graduated from Harvard."

Zhou Buqi curled his lips and said, "How can Yale and Harvard surpass me in stock picking strategy?"

"Then that's what I'm going to do?" Senior Sister Zhen Yu was very happy. "If such an opportunity can be provided, Ricks will definitely withdraw his resignation report. He actually doesn't want to leave. I can see that."

Zhou Buqi looked at her strangely, "Just do it. It's just such a small thing. Are you still troubled?"

Zhen Yu said angrily: "You, the big boss, didn't make the rules. No one is allowed to adjust your stock selection. Without the big boss's approval, how could I dare to change it casually?"

Zhou Buqi coughed and said, "It depends on your performance. I'll take care of you tonight. If you feel comfortable, I'll approve it."

"Virtue!"

Zhen Yu snorted lightly, stood up and left.

After reaching the door, she looked back at him and said, "I'll go back to the room to make arrangements. Come over quickly."

Zhou Buqi said: "I know. I'll call Guo Pengfei and find out about the situation of WeChat business. Boss Ma is eyeing WeChat business. They are all fake and shoddy businesses that lack supervision, and the impact is very bad."
