15.4,15.5,15.7,15.8,16.2,16.3,16.5,17.2,17.3……

The numbers are beating.

In the Kimberly Clark Hotel in New York, Zhou Buqi stood motionless in the back, watching a white trader seconded from Goldman Sachs skillfully use a Bloomberg terminal to trade stocks.

The stock price keeps rising.

In just 20 minutes, the stock price rose by $2.

Zhou Buqi glanced at Chen Ran and left the study together, "How's it going? How much did you buy?"

"There are 700,000 shares. Looking at the situation, we can buy at least 1.2 million shares today."

"Not much."

"The selling volume is not high, and there are many people following the trend to grab chips."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "What's the total? How much is it?"

Chen Ran smiled and said: "There are already 4 million shares in total. Netflix's total shares are 62 million shares, and 4 million shares are equivalent to 6.4%."

Zhou Buqi asked: "Have the materials been submitted?"

"Don't worry, just wait until the market closes before notifying Nasdaq." Chen Ran paused, "What did Goldman Sachs say? The contract was signed on the day of the OTC transaction?"

Zhou Buqi said: "They say it's the day after tomorrow."

Chen Ran thought for a moment and said "Yeah", "Today's stock price can climb to 19 US dollars. When the news is announced tomorrow, the market's reaction will definitely be stronger than today. The increase tomorrow may be even greater."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "That's Nasdaq. If a daily limit is set for large domestic A-shares, it would be troublesome to operate." After a pause, he asked again: "Can you give us an expectation?

?How much can be purchased on the secondary market?”

Chen Ran shook his head, "If you want to sell, you will sell it if the price is low. If you don't want to sell, you won't sell even if the stock price rises sharply. Especially technology stocks, they are all for the long term. Tomorrow's increase will be even greater.

But the stocks we can grab may not be as many as today. Netflix’s total share capital is too small. If you want to play tricks in the capital market, you will still have to promote stock splits, increase share capital, and increase trading volume in the future.”

Zhou Buqi didn't care, "That's it this time. I'm not very interested in capital games. Let Netflix's board of directors decide whether the stock should be split."

Chen Ran looked at him deeply and suddenly said: "Mr. Zhou, I have resigned from PricewaterhouseCoopers. When this case is over, I will return to Los Angeles to complete the procedures."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, as we agreed before. If you serve me full-time, I will increase your annual salary to 1.2 million US dollars."

"Mr. Zhou, what about that matter? Have you thought about it?"

"Well……"

Zhou Buqi was silent for a while.

Establish a private venture capital fund!

Give yourself another job and become a big shot in the venture capital industry?

"I'll think about it again."

"Mr. Zhou, do you have any concerns? If you want to do it, I just have the resources here. The friend John I introduced to you some time ago has now taken on a task to help a sovereign fund in the Middle East lead the search for investments.

The project may involve billions of dollars."

"That's not what I meant." Zhou Buqi waved his hand and sighed, "My ability is too strong."

"ah?"

Ms. Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, angry and funny. What is the reason for this?

Zhou Buqi said: "If I enter the private equity industry, then my private equity fund will be the largest in the world. No Bridgewater Associates or Buffett can compare with me. I am so good that it is eye-catching.

.I am a very low-key person."

Chen Ran bit his lip.

All right!

She's used to it.

This young Mr. Zhou is a lunatic! You can tell from talking about electric cars and rocket launches with Musk during this period. But this tone is too loud, right?

"Mr. Zhou, wouldn't it be a little more eye-catching?"

"not good."

"Mr. Zhou, I think your thinking has not jumped out of mainland China."

"Um?"

"This is the United States. The better you are and the more popular you are, the safer you will be." Chen Ran has been dealing with wealthy people for the past twenty years, and she understands the thoughts of this group of people very well.

Zhou Buqi said: "I still want to live in China for a long time and am too lazy to deal with foreigners with big noses every day."

Chen Ran tilted his head to look at him and said amusedly: "Is there any problem?"

Zhou Buqi was silent.

Chen Ran said: "Mr. Zhou, I have worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers for 22 years. As soon as I entered the industry, I followed my teacher to serve the rich. I remember that my first client was a real estate developer boss in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, his career was very difficult.

It is about to collapse. It is said that he can only make a living by driving a truck now."

Zhou Buqi was a little interested. He always likes to listen to stories. "What's the reason?"

Chen Ran said: "He will not share the benefits."

Zhou Buqi felt deeply, "Well, the more you share, the more you get. If you keep everything in your own hands, you will get nothing. In the next few years, I will focus on charity."

Sister Chen Ran smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou, that's not what I meant. I am also from China. Domestic charity is different from American charity. In the United States, it is culturally mandatory, just like paying taxes. It is for small governments.

Low taxes complement a cultural social system. And that’s not what I’m talking about.”

"Then what are you talking about?"

"In private equity, you can only make a small profit."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

Chen Randao: "Even if your profit share is 25%, it means that 75% of the profits must belong to investors. Is there a better business than this in the world? The more you earn, the more you earn.

The safer it is! If you really become the world's largest private equity fund, the capital behind you will have power you can't imagine. They all want to make money through you. No one dares to touch you, and the investors behind you will not

I will agree. This is the United States, a capital society. Whoever has money is God."

"That makes sense!" Zhou Buqi laughed, "Sister Chen Ran, you are an accountant, are you so interested in investing?"

Chen Ran looked at him strangely, "Don't you understand very well? I can help you manage your finances."

Zhou Buqi nodded repeatedly, "Well, I understand very well. If I invest, I guarantee that every investment will be accurate, and I will be number one in the world in a few years."

"Then do it!"

"Can you find investors? Can your friend really attract big customers from the Middle East?"

"In the current situation, 99% of private equity funds are losing money. The sovereign funds of oil countries in the Middle East are all looking for excellent investment targets. Wall Street's reputation has become so bad that they can no longer be trusted."

"Oh, that's it."

Zhou Buqi didn't believe it could be so simple.

I don’t know anyone, and I don’t have a world-class reputation like Bill Gates. The tycoons in the Middle East are rich, so why should they send money to their door and let me manage it?

The initial stage of starting a business is the hardest part.

When it reaches a large scale, and Zhou Buqi's investment portfolio shows amazing growth and provides an amazing rate of return, by that time, more and more people will be chasing the rise, and there will be no need to worry about lack of investment.

People.

For now, let’s finish the Netflix case.

On this day, the closing price was US$18.8, an increase of US$5.5 compared to the opening price of US$13.3, or an increase of 41.35%. On that day, Zhou Buqi bought a total of 1.22 million shares at an average price of US$15.7, with a total cost of

$19.15 million.

At this point, Zhou Buqi’s Netflix stock holdings have reached 4.25 million shares, accounting for 6.85% of the total share capital.

Notify Nasdaq.

Wall Street shouted: "Wolf!"

…

I also have a home in Manhattan. It is a luxury apartment near Central Park. It has a large open floor plan. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire park.

Sun Wanran opened her arms in front of the window, feeling as if she were embracing the whole world. She was hearty and hearty. She turned around and said softly: "Zhou Buqi, our family is too big! It's so annoying!"

"What should we do?"

There is nothing you can do if you don't clean the house. There are so many houses, and if you don't clean them for a long time, they will easily become dusty. You can't move in and have housekeeping come over to clean them at short notice.

Sun Wanran came over pretty and said in a sweet voice: "You are hiring someone."

"Who to hire?"

"Servants, there are Filipino servants in the south of the country. What kind of people can't be hired by a country with such a big capital?"

Zhou Buqi joked: "Hire a few beautiful girls?"
