Chapter 1227 The end of the first fundraising(1/2)
The continental United States is mainly in the temperate zone, but southern Florida is close to the Caribbean Sea and is tropical.
It is conceivable that in winter, places like Miami will be very popular. Of course, the best is Palm Beach. There is a port to go to the sea, and there are many small islands scattered on the sea.
These islands are all private.
You need to take a boat or a plane to get there.
After many wealthy people bought the island, they spent huge sums of money to build roads, build airports, plant palm trees, build vacation homes and various leisure places.
More importantly, it is close to the Caribbean Sea and is adjacent to many underdeveloped areas, such as Cuba, Mexico, Haiti, Costa Rica, etc.
This area is absolutely filled with beauties!
Not the kind of silly American girls, but many girls from underdeveloped areas in Central and North America. They are uneducated, do not know how to safeguard their own rights, and do not know how to protect themselves. They are more likely to be manipulated, and even many
Not yet 14 years old.
In this regard, the laws in the United States are very strict. It is a crime for an adult man to have intimacy with a girl under the age of 18, regardless of whether she wants it or not.
But many Jews are perverts.
They don't care.
Have fun on your own private island. Anyway, it's on the ocean and close to Bermuda. The hand of the law can't reach that far.
Among them was a famous person who frightened Zhou Buqi - Epstein.
Come on, come on!
It turns out that his home is in Florida, in Palm Beach, he is a member of the Palm Beach Club, and his den is on a nearby island.
At the cocktail party at the Palm Beach Club in the evening, Zhou Buqi met this guy who looked very evil at first glance. Epstein also had his own private equity business, and his main business was to help wealthy people avoid taxes.
Wandering on the edge of the law, in order to make friends with big clients, he would often send girls from his family to fight.
At the cocktail party, people drank and drank.
Hypocrisy.
Zhou Buqi can have a drink and chat with Madoff's son Andrew, but he really doesn't want to have anything to do with a figure like Epstein.
We are legitimate businessmen!
So fucked!
This Palm Beach club is a bunch of deceitful people. There are Madoff, Epstein, and a notorious family like the Glazers.
Fortunately, others think it's okay. Some are in the aquatic business, some are in the boat business, some are in the clothing business, some are in the high-end housekeeping business, there are congressmen, there are White House consultants... Well, the most famous one is
Les Wexner, the big boss of Victoria's Secret Underwear, also said that he would help Zhou Buqi introduce supermodels.
With so many people, it is impossible to remember and grasp everything in a short period of time.
No need to rush.
You can take your time.
When dealing with this group of Jews, all hypocrisy is nonsense, and money is the most real thing. They contribute money and make investments without hesitation. The money they earn is shared by everyone to complete the bundling of interests. From now on, financial reports will be released every quarter, and you will see
As the numbers continued to grow, the friendship between everyone was forged.
As for non-monetary personal relationships, Zhou Buqi has no interest at all.
You still have to go to Silicon Valley to find personal friends.
Although some of the big guys in Silicon Valley have a lot to complain about, for example, Bill Gates is in Epstein's circle of friends... But generally speaking, they are pretty good, much better than Wall Street, Hollywood, etc.
"Zhou, the plane is ready. Will you go to my place when it's over?"
Epstein didn't have any serious business, he mainly cooperated with wealthy people to engage in some gray area operations, and he immediately focused on Zhou Buqi.
"No, no, my girlfriend is right here."
Zhou Buqi declined.
The harvest tonight is very limited.
I thought I could directly raise funds to fill the quota, but this group of Jews may have been frightened by Madoff. There are more than 130 people in total. According to a rough calculation, they have only raised a total of 700 million US dollars.
The main reason is that Andrew is the most fun-loving person, but everyone's indifference towards him is already very obvious.
Zhou Buqi was not interested in taking his girlfriend to the beach to show off her bikini. He hurriedly left Florida early the next morning and went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
When I come here for the first time, I want to travel first and see the local customs.
The person who entertained him was Brian Jr., the son of Comcast Group boss Brian Roberts. Comcast is a well-known television and broadband operator.
There is also a reason for Zhou Buqi’s welcome.
Comcast's business has a very stable cash flow, and it only needs to charge users a fixed monthly TV fee. However, they are not satisfied yet and plan to attack Hollywood, and they are looking at NBC Universal.
Compared with those top Hollywood giants, NBCUniversal is a little weaker. If Comcast takes over, it will be a strong alliance. NBCUniversal has content, and Comcast has resources and channels.
Zhou Buqi has connections with both parties and can help talk and lead the way.
After being in contact for a long time, Zhou Buqi became more and more aware of the seriousness of American human society, which was even more exaggerated than at home. When doing business in China, both parties involved need to participate.
Not the United States.
Especially for big business, it often needs to be done with great fanfare, and various third parties will be invited to come forward, including investment banks, firms, various guarantors, recommenders, and many celebrities to mediate the deal.
When Microsoft acquired Yahoo, it even called Zhou Buqi over.
In fact, this model also has advantages.
Although the efficiency is poor, the advantage lies in safety. All third-party figures and intermediaries actually have the role of endorsement. For example, if Zhou Buqi is asked to help lead the merger negotiations between Comcast and NBC Global, as long as he participates, it means
Zhou Buqi’s approval of this transaction and the companies of both parties.
Others can make judgments based on his past experience and knowledge of business, which will play a role in promoting him.
Young Brian just graduated from Wharton Business School this year. Together with his girlfriend, he took Zhou Buqi and his group to visit Philadelphia. The city is actually not big, with the art district to the north, the commercial district to the west, and the historical district to the east.
The biggest attractions are the historical district and the art district. After all, this is the place where the United States was founded.
In the evening, the fund-raising reception began.
Philadelphia is a big city with many Fortune 500 companies, such as Comcast, DuPont, AmerisourceBergen, Aramark, Lincoln Group, Crown Holdings, Campbell Soup, UGI Corporation, etc.
There are many rich people.
The Roberts family of Comcast took the lead first. Brian Roberts took the microphone and walked to the podium and gave a passionate speech. He also said that the Roberts family would give the top dollar of US$500 million...
In one night, a total of $1.83 billion was raised.
That's enough now!
Exceeding the standard!
From November 1st to November 4th, in less than five days, Pluto Capital’s $10 billion fundraising came to an end. It even had to return part of the funds.
Extremely efficient and extremely fast.
Next, Goldman Sachs collects the money and manages the large amount of money on their behalf. Then, a series of asset allocations are carried out in accordance with the requirements of Pluto Capital.
Zhou Buqi can't waste a moment.
You have to work quickly!
When I returned to the hotel that night, I contacted Ms. Chen Ran, the financial director of Pluto Capital, and asked her to select all technology stocks in the United States.
The stock code was sent, and Zhou Buqi read it over, excluding all unfamiliar companies, and looked at the rest... Apple, Oracle, Adobe, IBM, Sohu, Google, Netflix, Intel, Yahoo, Sony
, Motorola, Microsoft, ea......
Oops, there are so many good companies!
Check every stock in the house.
Apple's closing price for the day was $105.7.
It’s hard to calculate based on the stock price.
The stocks of many large companies have gone through stock splits, and Zhou Buqi can’t remember them clearly. But it’s clear when you look at the market value. Apple’s current market value is 135 billion U.S. dollars. By the time the foresight disappears, the market value may reach 3 trillion.
US dollars, an income of more than 20 times is relatively stable.
Blizzard's stock price is US$12.2, or US$9 billion. Its future market value can reach US$60 billion-70 billion, and it can achieve a return of 7-8 times.
This performance is a bit poor.
In the era of mobile Internet, Blizzard’s games are a little behind.
Huh?
And NetEase.
NetEase's current stock price is US$20.5, with a market value of US$3.4 billion. In the future, it can reach US$80 billion-90 billion. This return on investment is even higher than Apple's! Unfortunately, the scale is too small, and it is difficult to absorb too much.
Oops, Chinese concept stocks are still reliable!
Look again!
Sohu? Forget it. Sina? Forget it. Shanda? Forget it. Ctrip? Forget it. Giant? Forget it. Perfect? Forget it. Baidu...Baidu is also very average, with a stock price of 223 US dollars and a market value of 7.8 billion US dollars. Future returns
To be continued...
