Chapter 1222 found the weakness
The United States is a major sports country, and the largest sports league is the NFL. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, owned by the Glazer family, is a member of the NFL.
This Mr. Jeff White is the executive director and chief operating officer of the NFL League. It is most appropriate for him to come to the center to help introduce.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Zhou Buqi complained, "What the Glazers did to Manchester United was terrible. I have been a Manchester United fan for 20 years and I am very disappointed with their behavior in the past few years."
Jeff White said with a smile: "They took the successful experience they used with the Pirates and used it with Manchester United."
"That's different." Zhou Buqi shook his head, "The NFL League generates more profits every season than all European football leagues combined. With such high profits, they can certainly develop the team while paying off debts. But football doesn't
Likewise, this is an industry with high input and low output."
Jeff White said: "The Glazer family is having some financial troubles, and I heard they have sold a mansion in Florida."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Just in time, sell Manchester United to me and they will use the money to solve their financial problems."
Jeff White glanced at the boss of Goldman Sachs and said, "Should there be some pressure from the bank? I know that Glazer's group will not accept the soft."
"certainly."
Rick Efron smiled.
Goldman Sachs is the chief consultant for the acquisition of Manchester United. The commission for this case will exceed US$10 million. Of course, they must help as much as possible.
Next, talking about private equity, Jeff White asked: "Mr. Zhou, can you briefly explain how you ensure high returns and low risks? Technology industry
It’s very dangerous, it’s only been a few years, and Motorola is done with it.”
This is a private placement, so it doesn’t really need an explanation.
If you talk too much, won’t you give away your own investment strategy? The reason why private equity fees are so high is because fund managers have extraordinary investment portfolios. If others learn from it, the value of high fees will be gone.
.Also because of this secretive operation model, private placements often go bad and various fraud incidents occur.
Zhou Buqi still wanted to ask for help, so he said a few more words, "I am a practitioner in the technology industry. I have a huge industry in Asia. I have close relationships with major technology companies around the world. Bill Gates
Zuckerberg, Yang Zhiyuan, Larry Page, and Zuckerberg are all my friends. I know which company has a future and which company has investment value."
Jeff White's eyes lit up slightly and he asked: "So Mr. Zhou is planning to buy the stocks of Microsoft, Yahoo and Google?"
Zhou Buqi laughed, "I never said that."
Jeff White then asked: "Will there be some convertible bonds, debt-to-equity swaps, or futures arbitrage, macro hedging, and tiered fund strategies?"
Zhou Buqi was so dizzy, how could he understand this?
His strategy is one.
After taking the money, there is no complicated operation, no leverage, no analysis of the macro market, just pick a few outstanding stocks, fill up the position, and then wait for the bubble to grow little by little.
However, when people asked, Zhou Buqi could only pretend to be inscrutable and said calmly: "Simplify the complex and use value investing. In the long run, no active stock fund's returns can outperform."
Win the S&P Index. I will become the most special one. The growth of the technology industry will far exceed that of ordinary industries."
I felt a little alienated by saying this, so I leaned over and whispered: "Mr. White, I can tell you secretly that I will not buy Microsoft."
Jeff White was stunned for a moment, surprised, "Don't buy Microsoft? Isn't this the best technology company?"
Zhou Buqi said: "The growth I pursue is that the best technology companies may not necessarily be the companies with the best growth. If we all buy the most famous big companies, what else are we professionals doing? It's not enough for everyone to buy stocks by themselves."
Is that good?"
Jeff White lowered his voice and asked humbly, "When Microsoft and Yahoo were about to merge, I bought a lot of stocks in these two companies. Mr. Zhou, do I need to sell?"
"Neither of these two stocks will perform very well in the next few years."
Zhou Buqi said it categorically.
Jeff White nodded, knowing what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much for your suggestion. Well...if possible, I would like to invest US$5 million to buy your project."
"Thank you and welcome!"
Zhou Buqi smiled and shook hands with him, and another deal was concluded. The NFL is the most profitable sports event in the world. The Super Bowl alone has a higher brand value than the Olympic Games and the World Cup combined. In capital
In society, wealth means power and social status. This Jeff White is likely to be the next CEO of the NFL League, and it is necessary to make friends with him.
With more people in contact, Zhou Buqi gradually began to feel it.
The United States is also a society of personal relationships. In other words, the upper class is a small circle of people who build interpersonal relationships with each other. Human relationships and personal credibility are invisible contracts.
This is private equity, and the specific operating model, investment portfolio and other details are not mentioned. Everyone invests in it with their eyes closed, relying entirely on trust and personal relationships with industry elites.
It is simply more exaggerated than in China.
If Zhou Buqi comes back to China and says that he has launched such a project, he won’t say anything about the specific details, and just asks everyone to give him money... People will think that you, boss Zhou, are short of money and want to raise funds to tide over the difficulties.
.That is, a group of fellow entrepreneurs will give a sum of money out of the nature of helping friends.
The minimum subscription amount is US$5 million. How can such a large amount of money be thrown away casually?
It just so happens that this old beauty believes in this.
"By the way, you can go find Jeffrey Miller." At this time, Jeff White took a step forward and said in a very low voice, "Glazer's family business is Caribbean Supermarket and a department store. I heard that
The mortgage is out. Jeffrey is the second shareholder of the Caribbean Supermarket Group, and I heard that he recently wanted to take advantage of the financial problems of the Glazer family to gain control."
Zhou Buqi's eyes lit up, he glanced at Rick Efron next to him, and nodded to each other.
It is indeed a humane society!
It’s better now!
You’ve caught the opponent’s weakness!
For the Glazer family, there are only two ways to go.
First, sell Manchester United.
Second, Zhou Buqi may help business rival Jeffrey Miller sneak attack on the base camp from behind and seize the core assets of the Glazer family.
…
The west is far away from the capital, and there are not many political figures. They are mainly elites in entertainment, sports, agriculture, gambling, commerce, intermediary services and other industries. The fund-raising process was very smooth, and more than 2 billion US dollars were obtained in one night.
Just two receptions raised $5.6 billion.
It makes people feel sad.
What kind of economic crisis is this?
The so-called economic crisis is a crisis for the people at the bottom. For the elites of the upper class, it is still the same. Many people are still very excited. They happily spend their money to enter the market and seize the bargain-hunting opportunity of this once-in-a-lifetime economic crisis.
.
At this time, Zhou Buqi also saw the disadvantages of the American system. Obviously the top elites are very rich, but the federal government cannot direct them. In order to solve the predicament, they even thought of borrowing the help of Zhou Buqi, a foreigner.
Bring foreign dollars back to the United States.
If it were different in China, we would start with the rich. Just like Boss Gu, who was recently sentenced to jail. His tens of billions of property were confiscated and sold at low prices. After a few years, he would be acquitted, and he would be able to receive hundreds of thousands in compensation.
.
At present, the US elites can easily absorb this US$10 billion fund-raising amount.
According to Goldman Sachs' plan, the next step is to go to Nevada. People in the casino business generally have backgrounds. Then we will go to Texas, which is an agricultural base, and the United States is the largest agricultural country and has great influence.
No need to go to Silicon Valley.
Zhou Buqi is in this business himself and does not need to rely on small business such as private equity to build relationships. Finally, it is enough to go to Pennsylvania and North Carolina for a tour.
There will be a grand cocktail party at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas in the evening, so the next morning, Zhou Buqi will contact Mr. Swinton to solve the problem of the housekeeper and maid.
The person I met was the old man’s granddaughter, Ms. Joy Swinton, who is in her 40s. She is now the president of Swinton Firm and is responsible for specific business.
This is a housekeeping company that mainly provides the services of housekeepers, maids, chefs, and personal assistants to the rich. Both men and women are available, mainly women.
Compared to the old man who was disrespectful and rude, Joy Swinton was much more polite in his words. He happily brought Zhou Buqi to her office, and then arranged for his secretary to pour coffee.
This secretary is so pretty!
Zhou Buqi couldn't help but take another look.
Joey smiled and explained: "Her name is Cadilina. She was the top three in a beauty pageant in Colombia 8 years ago. After bringing her here, she served two guests. She started working as my assistant two years ago.
.”
Zhou Buqi said: "It's good to change my career to become an assistant."
Joey shook his head and said: "It's because she is old, over 30 years old. She is no longer suitable for service jobs. But she is very smart."
"What about the others? What will they do when they get older?"
"If they are foreigners, most of them will choose to return to their country. They generally have a lower education level and face language barriers when staying here. After working here for so many years, they have saved a lot of savings and can lead a wonderful life after returning to their country."
"oh……"
After saying this, Zhou Buqi understood.
Because he had often heard similar stories when he went to Yanbian to see Class A. Many Korean girls would travel to South Korea and then hide when they found an opportunity. Anyway, the language was fluent. After working there for a few years, they earned a lot of money.
With a large amount of money, you can live a very prosperous life back home.
Joey said softly: "Mr. Zhou, we will sign confidentiality agreements in all our jobs, and we are not allowed to disclose any employer's information. If you want to... fall in love with our girl during work, I hope you can contact us in advance.
We will prepare corresponding contracts to avoid unnecessary disputes. This can best protect the interests of the employer."
After a pause, he then smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, starting from my grandfather, our family has been running this business for 50 years. No matter what happens, we can solve it. In the past few years, you have never heard of any wealthy family.
Are you embarrassed because of something like this?"
Zhou Buqi has a deep connection with Hollywood and said: "I actually heard that Nicolas Cage had an incident with his maid. She seemed to be pregnant and was sued..."
