Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1558 Enforcing Family Rules
It's Christmas, which is very grand in the West.

But Zhou Buqi didn't care, and directly brought Shi Jingmei and Wu Yu to New York to meet with seven venture capital funds, all of which were the leading companies on Wall Street.

The bigger the company, the stronger it is.

With the investment from these venture capital giants, you can get some of their market resources, which is conducive to the alliance between the strong and use their relationship to promote the business development of Chaowan Commune.

For example, KPCB Venture Capital, they have a seat on Nike's board of directors, so they can take the lead in the middle and build a bridge between Nike and Chaowan Commune.

Another example is Heiyan, they are important investors of Disney, they have a lot of voice, and they can also take the lead in helping to establish cooperation between Disney and Chaowan Commune.

However, Chaowan Commune may not be able to reach Hollywood in the short term.

The order is easy to sign, but the production capacity may not be able to keep up.

At present, Chaowan Commune has only one production line operating at full capacity, with a daily output of about 2 blind boxes.Starting next season, more giants will participate.

Production capacity is one aspect, and there are other operations management, logistics coordination, and product design.

Chaowan Commune is too young, and every link needs time to grow. Even if it knows that there are huge opportunities in Hollywood, it will not be able to eat this cake in a short time.

Eating too much can lead to indigestion.

It's better to start the European football business first, Manchester United has already made a good start.

However, the business model of Chaowan Commune is original, and there is no successful precedent before this, which means that the investment risk is very high.

Even though Chaowan Commune produced a very beautiful financial statement, these capitalists are still severely suppressing the price.Zhou Buqi’s minimum psychological expectation for Chaowan Commune is a valuation of 8 million US dollars. These people are so good, the highest is only 2.8 million US dollars.

Fortunately, this kind of thing cannot be done in a day or two.

Zhou Buqi has a two-story luxury apartment next to Central Park in New York. At night, he lives there with Shi Jingmei, Wu Yu, and three little secretaries, Sun Guanran, Ning Lu, and Feng Muer.

"Dong dong dong."

Someone is knocking on the door of the study.

After knocking on the door, Zhou Buqi basically guessed who it was without coming in directly. It should be the second sister Shi Jingmei. She is the only "outsider" in this family, and she will pay more attention to this kind of personal privacy.

"Come in."

"Are you occupied?"

Sure enough, it was Shi Jingmei. She was wearing a red nightgown and her hair was tied into a ponytail. She didn't have a coquettish appearance, but she seemed to be full of demons everywhere. Her red lips were like fire, and her eyes were like waves.The skirt was very short, revealing a pair of snow-white straight long legs, with red nail polish painted on the crystal toes.

The whole body is red, looking like a bride.

Adhering to the integrity of a gentleman, Zhou Buqi stretched his waist and said, "It's okay, I just called Sun Zhengyi. These old beauties passed by as soon as they saw it, and they joined forces to lower the price for us. It's really not possible, I don’t want American capital! I’m so used to them!”

Shi Jingmei twirled her hair by her ears, swayed her waist, and walked over with a chuckle, "If you want me to say, just find a few investors in Europe. The football business is a European business."

Zhou Buqi shook his head and said, "Europe is more conservative than the United States. Wall Street's offer is 2.8 million US dollars, and Europe is even lower."

"Then what to do? Looking for Asian funds?"

"Don't worry, let's talk for a while longer, and it will be done before March. Don't delay the blind box business in football next season."

If you want to get a high valuation when financing, it is a better way to attract Asian venture capital funds to participate, such as Japan's Softbank, South Korea's Hyundai, and Singapore's Temasek.

Venture capital giants in Europe and the United States have broader and richer global resources. These resources are actually a manifestation of value, and they can severely suppress prices.Asian VCs have relatively few resources, so they can only be competitive in terms of price.

Zhou Buqi communicated with Sun Zhengyi just now.

If it doesn't work, just a hodgepodge.

In the first round, find 4-5 venture capitalists to participate in, 1-2 in the United States, 1 in Europe, 1 in Asia, and 1 in China, which is basically the same.Give them two months to do their due diligence.

In the next two months, Manchester United Blind Box will officially open its sales in Southeast Asia.In the United States, Amazon has placed an order for 20 blind boxes, and the Nike store is also preparing to launch Manchester United blind boxes.Coupled with the Manchester area, the Korean market and the domestic market... Chaowan Commune has confidence.

The longer the delay, the more beautiful the report card will be, and the higher the price will be.

Shi Jingmei walked to the sofa chair where Zhou Buqi was, and sat directly beside her, with a delicate fragrance on her body, which was obviously sprayed with perfume, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, the second sister doesn't understand these things, The financing is all up to you.”

Zhou Buqi was in a bad mood, feeling that she might fall into his arms at any time, so he moved aside, turned to look at her vigilantly, "Second Sister, what do you want to do?"

Shi Jingmei saw that he was guarding her like he was guarding against thieves, so she was so angry that all kinds of tenderness disappeared in an instant, she gritted her teeth and said, "What are you afraid of? I can still eat you?"

Zhou Buqi said: "A man and a woman don't know each other."

Shi Jingmei curled her lips and said, "I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of, a man? Can you still suffer?"

Zhou Buqi said with a serious face: "It's not a matter of suffering or not, you are Linlin's second sister, this is not appropriate."

Shi Jingmei raised her chin slightly, and snorted, "Don't use Linlin as a shield, she is the one who asked me to seduce you."

"You can pull it down!"

Zhou Buqi didn't believe it.

"it is true!"

"She said she asked you to seduce me?"

"Well... that's not what I said."

"What did she say?"

Seeing that he was very vigilant, Shi Jingmei rolled her eyes, got up and sat down on the sofa, crossed her legs, and said to herself: "She said you are going to marry her, and she wants me to thank you, Isn't this a hint to me?"

Zhou Buqi was amused by her, "Second sister, in order to lie to me, you are really spreading rumors without blushing!"

Shi Jingmei blushed slightly, "Who spread the rumor?"

"Linlin really said that?"

"She said you were going to marry her, she was very happy, and she even showed me her diamond ring, it looks cheap at first glance, you are really stingy."

"It's your heart, it has nothing to do with money." Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Don't interrupt, she's engaged, it's normal for her to be happy, and asking you to thank me, isn't that nonsense?"

He knew Shi Jinglin's character very well. She was indeed a bit deviant when it came to girls from outsiders, but this kind of thing couldn't happen to her relatives, and she was still the second sister who had the best relationship with her.

Shi Jingmei said: "It's true, but she found an excuse, which is very clever. She said that I can achieve success in my career, my dad can have a second career in his career, and even the plastic business of my family's chemical factory , and also because of the new growth point of the blind box business. These are all because of you. We, the Shi family, are all grateful to you."

"I think you're making excuses, right?" Zhou Buqi was a little amused, and didn't take it seriously, "I'm going to marry Linlin, the family doesn't talk about each other, so there's nothing to thank."

Shi Jingmei said angrily: "I don't believe you don't want to sleep with me! Why are you pretending?!"

Immediately, Zhou Buqi thought of a sentence that Aunt Xue often said, and said with empathy: "It's one thing to want to sleep, but another thing to be able to sleep. We all have to restrain ourselves and not make mistakes."

Shi Jingmei was about to die of anger, "Go to hell! I'm leaving! Sleep!"

"Wait!"

When she reached the door, Zhou Buqi stopped her.

Shi Jingmei turned around, thinking it was a serious matter at work, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

This time, it was Zhou Buqi's turn to make an effort, "You're leaving after the seduction is over?"

Shi Jing rolled his eyes at him, lightly lifted the already short nightdress, and flashed the little red underwear inside, "Boss Zhou, what do you want?"

"Old rules! Beat you! If you make a mistake, you will be beaten. This is the rule of my Zhou family."

"what?"

Shi Jingmei's face flushed suddenly.

Zhou Buqi pointed to the sofa, "Go and lie down there."

Shi Jingmei bit her red lips, "Hit me, no one is afraid of you!"

Then, I went to the sofa, leaned on the back of the sofa, knelt down, and didn't see Zhou Buqi coming over for a long time. When I looked back, I found that he was looking around for something, so I asked strangely: "What are you doing?" What? Do you still want to fight? If you don’t want to hit me, leave?”

Zhou Buqi said, "I'll see if I can find a stick or something."

Shi Jingmei almost died of anger, "You want to beat me to death? Find a stick and hit me twice with your hands, it's almost enough?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I'm afraid the shock will make my hands hurt."

Shi Jingmei was overwhelmed, and said dumbfoundedly: "I said you are almost ready, but you are still afraid of pain when you hit me? How can you be such a monster? There are so many tricks for beating women."

Zhou Buqi said convincingly: "Have you ever studied physics? The action of force is mutual!"

Shi Jing rolled his eyes at him, "Are you going to fight or not? You're glib!"

"Hit it, lift up your skirt."

"Where are the underwear? Do you want to take it off?"

"That's not necessary, don't look at evil, you have to avoid suspicion."

Zhou Buqi came over and saw that she had her skirt pulled up around her waist and her buttocks were raised up to be spanked, so she spat on her palms and rubbed her hands together.

"Are you disgusting, are you?" Shi Jingmei was about to go crazy, and jumped up at a high, looking at his hands with disdain, "I'm not coming, you are too disgusting."

Zhou Buqi said innocently: "You really haven't studied physics. Have you ever seen a worker spit while working? This can increase the friction of the palm of the hand and make the beating more painful."

"It also increases friction, you can kill me!"

"Okay, okay, let me lighten up, you go lie down."

"You are not allowed to spit."

"it is good."

With Zhou Buqi's promise, Shi Jingmei lay down on the sofa again, and assumed the posture just now.Zhou Buqi didn't grind anymore after this one blow, he came up on the left and right together, crackling seven or eight times.

In fact, she didn't use much force, but her skin was white and delicate, and it turned red after a while.

Seeing this, Zhou Buqi stopped the beating, "Okay, get up, you're a monkey's ass."

"You're the monkey ass!"

Shi Jingmei stood up, stroked her skirt, rubbed her buttocks, and then smiled.

Zhou Buqi was surprised, "What expression do you have?"

Shi Jingmei rolled her eyes and asked him jokingly, "Brother-in-law, is it more enjoyable to hit a woman than play with a woman?"

Zhou Buqi's expression froze, and he said sternly, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm enforcing the house rules, not playing games with you. That's all right, you can go now, I'm going to have a conference call."
