Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1857 Am I your subordinate?
Zhou Buqi's inner house women all entered the door cleanly and completely, not to mention the checkpoints like the ancient palace draft, which also went through a long period of observation and testing.

Only Ning Yaxian is an exception.

Not only had there been men before, but also married.

Not only married, but also with a child.

But even so, Ning Yaxian still entered the Zhou family's door.

Of course, her sister Ning Yameng contributed to this, but it is also inseparable from her personal efforts.In terms of loyalty, thoughtfulness, tenderness, sense of belonging and recognition to Boss Zhou, Ning Dami is second to none.

I really want to find fault with her but I can't find it.

If it is really hard to pick, then you can use Aunt Xue's words to describe it, that is, you are too used to Zhou Buqi, and you are not afraid of spoiling him.

That night, Zhou Buqi wanted to work as usual for a while, and communicate with domestic business.

However, Ning Yaxian arranged it so well that she got carried away.

Fortunately, the work of the next day cannot be delayed.

While eating breakfast, Zhou Buqi turned on the speakerphone and talked to Senior Sister Zhen Yu on the phone. While eating fried eggs, he asked, "Sister, have you woken up yet?"

"Well, wake up."

"Let me ask you something, how much money is in our account now?"

"Now?" Zhen Yu pondered for a while, with a light voice like pearls falling on a jade plate, "Last year, there was a balance of 5 million U.S. dollars, plus the 15 billion U.S. dollars recorded this year, a total of 20 billion U.S. dollars. However, we must reserve $5 million in outstanding payments and interest, plus property taxes, household expenses and pocket money, about $2 million. And... um, and this time in Miami.”

"Oh?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure?"

Zhen Yu smiled and said, "Well, Island Manor, do you know?"

Zhou Buqi blinked, "I seem to have heard that it is very famous in Palm Beach, no worse than Mar-a-Lago."

Zhen Yu smiled lightly and said, "In terms of reputation, it is still worse than Mar-a-Lago. After all, it was the residence of many presidents and the White House in winter. However, Island Manor also has a big advantage. It is the only one in Palm Beach. A private island can be maximized in terms of privacy protection."

Zhou Buqi said: "That's good, what about the price?"

"It should not exceed 3000 million US dollars."

"That's not high? What do you think?"

"There have been no people living here for many years, and it has been in disrepair for a long time... and the house is also small, with only 11 bedrooms in total. The main purpose is to buy a land. If you want to, you need to renovate and design."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Okay, don't you like that kind of architecture full of artistic atmosphere, then find a master to renovate and rebuild this island, according to your liking."

The island manor is very famous, and he has heard of it before.

The island is not too big, only the size of two football fields.Therefore, the island is the manor, and the manor is the island, as if it is an independent kingdom.Not far from the beach, accessible by bridge, boat and helicopter.Although it is an independent island, the transportation is convenient, which is much more convenient than many private islands deep in the sea.

The disadvantage is that the small island is very small. Once it is hit by waves, it may be flooded, and the potential damage factors are too large.Moreover, the entire manor facilities are too old, they are all seven or eighty years ago.

If you want to live up and enjoy a luxurious life, you need to do a major renovation of the entire island, and you will spend too much money.

Zhen Yu hesitated and said, "Would you like to come over and have a look? If you really want to renovate, and invite a Pritzker Prize-winning architect to come and design, it may cost a lot of money, a lot of money."

"My wife is still short of money?"

"Pooh!"

Zhen Yu snorted.

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "When will our family be short of money, do what you want, and build the house you like! That's enough, this is settled. I want to tell you, Changyou The IPO ran into a little trouble, and you have to prepare $8.1 million for me."

"how?"

Senior sister Zhenyu is not a tool person either, so the expenditure of such a large sum of money needs to be reviewed, lest her man get overheated or be cheated.

Zhou Buqi simply explained the fact that during Changyou's IPO process, many financial institutions thought the issue price was too high and were unwilling to take over the deal.

"Ah?" Zhen Yu was surprised, "So you want to accept the rest?"

"Correct."

"Is this legal?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll go see Lao Zhang later and communicate with the investment bank and the relevant financial legal team. From what I heard yesterday, it shouldn't be a big problem. I'm not a shareholder of Changyou, and the family fund belongs to a third-party organization that has nothing to do with Changyou .”

Zhou Buqi has a lot of control over Changyou.

However, he has no personal shareholding in Changyou.

The major shareholder of Changyou is Sohu, followed by Ziweixing.From this point of view, there is no direct equity relationship between Zhou Buqi and Changyou, even if it may be involved in internal transactions, there are ways to avoid it.

At 9 a.m., Zhou Buqi met Zhang Chaoyang at the Rockefeller Building.

There are people from Goldman Sachs and Citigroup present here, the chief legal counsel of Ziweixing International has also come to New York from Silicon Valley, and two barristers who are proficient in securities law are invited from Wall Street.

It only took less than half an hour to give the result.

Can do it!
There are probably three reasons.

First, as Zhou Buqi said, there is no relationship between his family fund and Changyou, they belong to independent economic entities, and the internal connection is not strong.

Second, in this process, the controlling party of Changyou did not use power for personal gain, on the contrary, it was a selfless person who took huge risks.

In other words, these 7000 million shares were not wanted by Wall Street financial institutions, so Zhou Buqi was forced to take over; it was not wanted by other financial institutions, but Zhou Buqi refused to sell them and transferred them to their own pockets .

There is a lot of subjectivity in the case law, and it is not as dogmatic as the civil law system.

Continental law systems all have very clear legal provisions, and violating the legal provisions is a violation of the law.Therefore, there are often many people who are clearly doing good deeds, but break the law.

The legal system of the sea has no legal provisions, mainly the jury system, and a big legal ethics is that the law is the bottom line of morality.A thing that is morally noble cannot break the law.If the law is violated, it must be that the law is wrong, and it must be submitted to a higher court or Congress to amend the legal interpretation.

What Zhou Buqi did shows the true entrepreneurial spirit, using his personal wealth as the bottom line for the capital market, instead of playing capital games to infringe the interests of small shareholders. Such a noble behavior cannot break the law.

Third, Changyou is a Chinese company.

These days, the relationship between China and the United States is still very good.In order to attract more domestic companies to go public in the United States, the United States actually has huge accommodations at the legal and policy levels.

Strictly speaking, any domestic company listed in the United States is illegal and does not comply with relevant laws and regulations of the United States, and many important information have not been disclosed.

The so-called important information has nothing to do with the personal data held by this company.

There is no need to disclose personal data at all, and it is all over the dark web.There is no need for foreigners to steal, many of our own people have stolen it and sold it everywhere.

The personal information of ordinary people is an asset, and there is no privacy at all when it is sold.

Moreover, Nasdaq has no right to ask for user data information.

What they want to look at is mainly shareholder data.

According to the requirements of Nasdaq, listed companies need to disclose the information of all shareholders. This is the most critical point, and it is also the point that domestic companies are least likely to back down.I would rather not go public, and dare not do so.Whoever dares to do it will die.

The United States is aware of such special national conditions. In order not to block the opportunities for domestic companies to go public in the United States to create value for American shareholders, the United States has made a lot of accommodations, allowing domestic companies not to disclose a lot of information.

It is a certain privilege.

If one day the U.S. policy changes and requires Chinese concept stock companies to adopt the same information disclosure standards as all other Nasdaq-listed companies, it will be difficult.

The Chinese concept stocks can only leave the United States one after another. They would rather not have money from the United States than disclose the information of those people.Not to mention domestic companies, even Swiss banks dare not disclose it.

Therefore, for Changyou, even if there are related transactions between some shareholders, the US side will not pay too much attention to it, which is the tacit norm.

Everything is going well, and the next step is to complete the formalities, just in case.

At noon, Zhou Buqi invited Zhang Chaoyang to dinner.

Mexican style steak.

Talk about a management change.

"By the way, Ren Yuxin, do you know?"

"Familiar."

"Penguin's game president."

"Oh!" Zhang Chaoyang suddenly remembered, "He, I've heard of him, he is very powerful! In the domestic game industry, he can be regarded as one of the top figures. Penguin's game business is that he cooperates with Li... Li What, a vice president of Penguin, they did it together."

Zhou Buqi nodded, lowered his head and cut the steak, "Have you ever had contact with him?"

"No." Zhang Chaoyang shook his head, "In the past few years, Changyou's business has developed very well, and it has also developed a national-level game called "Tian Long Ba Bu". I haven't paid much attention to this business. Didn't you propose I have a global mindset, and I mainly focus on overseas markets.”

Zhou Buqi said: "How about digging him over?"

Zhang Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, "Ren Yuxin?"

"Can't you?"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid the price will be too high."

"How much will it cost?" Zhou Buqi didn't care. "He's not the founder of Penguin. He usually gets salary and options, and he doesn't have the kindness like Zhang Xiaolong of QQ mailbox. As long as he makes a move, There is a chance! In Penguin, there are more than a dozen people above him. Come and swim, he is the CEO!"

Zhang Chaoyang was dumbfounded, "You haven't seen anyone before, so it's just decided? You... You are too arbitrary, right? How can you be like this?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Then when you turn around, you can secretly check this person's details to see if he is qualified. Get in touch with him tentatively, and keep it secret."

Only then did Lao Zhang suddenly realize.

This anger!

It turned out that this kid was arranging tasks for himself again!
how?

I am your subordinate?
