Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2102
Wen Zhixia, Shi Jinglin, Xue Baoshan, Wu Yu, Aunt Xue, and a few other children all returned to their home in Atherton in Silicon Valley from their vacation in Australia.

Then, I got good news.

Shi Jinglin is pregnant!

Seeing the radiant pride on Shi Jinglin's pretty face, Zhou Buqi let out a long breath, feeling relieved.

Oh my god, it's not easy!
"Hahaha, good good! This year's achievements are really great. Baoshan is pregnant, and Senior Sister Zhenyu and Linlin are also pregnant. Good news! Good news!"

That night, the Zhou family set up a large banquet table like lanterns and festoons.

There are no outsiders.

Fortunately, my family has enough, lively.

After dinner, the family watched a movie together. It was "Kung Fu Panda 2" produced by DreamWorks Animation under Ziwei Star Universal. This movie was released this summer, and it has basically been released worldwide. Up to $6.6 million.

There is no doubt that this is another blockbuster movie.

Relying on the box office market alone, not to mention recovering all the previous investment, it also made a net profit of 9700 million US dollars.The income from copyright operations in the TV, disc and derivative markets has reached 5.3 million US dollars.

It is expected that within the next six months, this figure may increase to between US$7.5 million and US$8 million.

The most profitable film category in Hollywood is actually animation.

Because cartoons can be aimed at children.

reach a wider audience.

Parents are also willing to spend money on their children.

Even if it is a poor black family, the children watched "Kung Fu Panda 2" and clamored to buy a few panda dolls, and the parents had to buy them when they swiped their credit cards.

Therefore, the price of this kind of movie derivatives is extremely expensive, because they have seen the hearts of parents and children.

A panda doll that costs $1 retails for $50.

Love to buy or not!

If you don't buy it, the child will cry and make trouble, and the parents will make a fool of themselves in public.

It is difficult for those big Hollywood productions with explosive visual effects to have this kind of "family consumption" market effect.Therefore, in the adaptation of Marvel movies, if you want to make money, you must grasp a main line of thinking-younger age.

It is also a movie, "Iron Man 2" is really far behind "Batman 2: The Dark Knight", it is not a movie of the same level at all. "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" is the masterpiece of director Nolan, and it is an epoch-making classic masterpiece enough to be recorded in history.

But in terms of earning power, the naive "Iron Man 2" is not inferior to "Batman 2: The Dark Knight" at all.Especially in the derivatives market, the former is more than three times the latter.

While watching a movie, Gu Zanli and Yao Yao sat together, whispering.

Gu Zanli whispered gossipingly, "Do you have the feeling that wives and concubines are in groups?"

Yao Yao frowned, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Isn't it?" Gu Zanli looked around, "Look for yourself."

Yao Yao was annoyed: "Can you control it?"

Gu Zanli pursed her lips and said, "Let's just chat casually, haven't we seen this movie in China? Um...how many do you think our boss has? That's all...is there still anyone here?"

Yao Yao said in a low voice: "It's not your business, don't worry about it, just take care of yourself. No one likes you if you care about every detail and have a small belly."

"Where is it?" Gu Zanli felt very wronged, "Who cares about it? I just chatted with you casually. Who do you think I told others? Are you not curious?"

Yao Yao shook her head firmly, "Not curious!"

Gu Zanli didn't believe it, "It's a lie."

Yao Yao said indifferently: "I don't think about anything, I don't guess anything, just be myself. I believe in destiny, if there is destiny, you will have it, if there is no destiny, no matter how hard you fight, it will be useless. "

Gu Zanli was speechless, "You are so superstitious because you have a higher education."

"It's not superstition, it's truth." Yao Yao hesitated for a moment, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you find out? Some things are just so miraculous, you can't believe it!"

Gu Zanli didn't understand what she was talking about, and asked suspiciously: "What?"

Yao Yao bit her lips lightly, and said in a low voice: "You forgot, what our boss said last time, that there was a great fairy who made a calculation for him, and every time we have sex with our girls, there will be a bonus of good luck. "

"Please!" Gu Zanli almost fainted, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "The boss is just making a joke?! Do you really believe it?"

Yao Yao looked serious, with a feeling of worship, "It's true, this kind of thing, I'd rather believe it, anyway, you won't lose anything if you believe it."

Gu Zanli laughed and said, "Why are you talking so much?"

"Last time... after I had sex with you last time, that Boss Zhen became pregnant. It was me last night, and today I heard that Boss Shi was pregnant again. What do you say?" Yao Yao turned her face sideways and stared at her, as if There is a feeling of holding a handle.

Gu Zanli twitched the corner of her mouth, "It's a coincidence."

Yao Yao hummed: "How can there be so many coincidences! Our big boss is so rich, does he rely on coincidences to make money?"

Gu Zanli curled her lips and said, "It's not luck, is it?"

Yao Yao looked at him in surprise, "You didn't listen carefully when you saw it. The boss told us before, have you forgotten? Most of the credit for his success today is luck, have you forgotten?"

"Humble yourself?"

"Even if you are modest, luck also plays a very important role. According to the Buddhist theory, it is fate. Everyone has their own fate, and there are so many opportunities to get fate in a lifetime. It depends on the fate. Can you catch it?"

"Ah."

Gu Zanli nodded lightly, she agreed with this point.

Because many articles and books have said similar views.

Yao Yao said to herself: "I'm a very ordinary girl. It must be luck and my fate to pass so many interviews among all living beings and come to the big boss. I must Grab it. I don’t want to think wildly, destroying my predestined relationship, let it be, just let it go.”

Gu Zanli couldn't help laughing, "You're a little dazed."

Yao Yao said seriously: "Really, I'm not kidding you, that's what I think. Didn't the boss say that he invested in Momo? Each of us can get about 1% or 2% of the shares, I dare you For sure, the company Momo will succeed and go public. When it goes public, even if it only has a market value of 100 billion US dollars, 1% will be worth 1 million US dollars.

Gu Zanli slapped his head, "You are really whimsical, are you crazy about money?"

"You don't believe me?" Yao Yao glanced at her, "Don't forget, our boss is called Zhou Buqi! If you don't understand, just be obedient, as long as you trust him unconditionally. Besides trusting him, you have Other options? It doesn’t matter if you are stupid, you just have to think too much.”

Gu Zanli was a little surprised.

No wonder the two assistants, Ning Yaxian and Sun Guanran, always talked to him these past few years, but they didn't go to Yao Yao.I feel that this Yao Yao is much more mature than herself, and she beat her up a lot.

……

After watching the movie, it was only after 9 o'clock in the evening. Zhou Buqi eagerly helped Baoshan go upstairs to rest.This is not over yet, there is a big baby in the family who is pregnant.

Shi Jinglin was in for a treat. After watching "Kung Fu Panda 2", she felt that she cherished it more than pandas.Of course Zhou Buqi wanted to spoil her, he didn't even let her walk, he carried her all the way upstairs and back to his room.

In contrast, Senior Sister Zhenyu didn't have to. The two just held hands and went to the study together.

Zhou Buqi asked: "Sister, do you know Carl Icahn?"

Zhen Yu nodded lightly, "I met him once, an old man, but he is in good spirits, and he is not a bad wolf like the outside rumors, he is a very polite senior in the industry, better than most people .Actually, there is a trick here."

"What's the trick?"

Zhou Buqi pulled her to sit down on the sofa.

He was interested in Carl Icahn because of the PayPal thing.Regarding Yahoo's affairs, it is not good for him to secretly connect with Yahoo's management team behind his back.

But if it's PayPal's thing, it's not a big deal.

Zhen Yu smiled lightly and said, "Look at your body shape."

"Body shape?"

"Yes, it's too easy for those capital institutions on Wall Street to make money. They are at the top of the ecological chain. A random trader can fool a rich man worth billions of dollars around. There is a real IQ crushing .”

"Well, it's very clever."

Zhou Buqi is not surprised by this.

In many cases, what those capital institutions do is actually cheating.

For example, Zhou Buqi has a junk stock in his hand, because the volume is very large, if he wants to sell it, it will be more complicated to sell it directly in the stock market, so he can ask this kind of Wall Street institution for help.

Traders can operate.

Every trader has a group of big clients in his hands, so he can talk three inches, exaggerate the stock, and then let his clients buy it.

The deal is concluded, and the trader earns a commission of one percent or one thousandth.

So in this business, the most profitable thing is actually to sell "junk bonds".

Because it is a junk bond, it is difficult to sell it, so the commission is high enough, as long as it can be sold, you can make a lot of money.Sell ​​from A to B, sell from B to C, sell from C to D... Traders earn astronomical commissions through constant orders and sales.

This is how the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, because too many institutions have sold real estate junk bonds, and the scale is too large. Once the last taker is not found, something big will happen.

This is the superficial reason.

The most fundamental reason is actually the crushing of IQ.

It is the geniuses on Wall Street who can control the world's financial system in their hands. In front of this group of people, outsiders are like little white rabbits at their fingertips.

Use your rules to beat you, and I'll make a lot of money.

Zhen Yu said: "Because the people on Wall Street are too smart, no matter whether you are a billionaire with a net worth of billions, or a prince or high-ranking official in any country, you can be played and applauded by them. So this group of people is special. Indulgence, many people have very high academic qualifications, but their quality is extremely poor, racial discrimination, gender discrimination, regional discrimination and so on abound. It may not be true discrimination, but they are used to doing whatever they want."

"Well, many people are full of foul words..." Zhou Buqi understood what Senior Sister Zhenyu meant, "Is it self-control?"

Zhen Yu smiled and said: "Yes, self-control. In fact, they are all social elites, how can they not know what is right and what is wrong? It is because they can play with others in the applause, so they are a little carried away , just do whatever they want. So there are a lot of stink problems. Anyway, as long as he can make money, he is a core employee, and nothing else matters. Wall Street only cares about money. Once the restraint on self-cultivation is given up, other restraints will no longer exist. There will be a lot of big fat people. But it is not absolute, in most cases, if the capitalist on Wall Street maintains a good body shape, it means that his self-discipline is better, and his external self-cultivation performance will be higher. "

Zhou Buqi nodded, like a mirror in his heart.

Senior sister Zhen Yu is beating herself.

However, Zhou Buqi felt that he didn’t have the indulgence to do whatever he wanted, and he did a good job in personal cultivation. He started to do exercises seriously from tomorrow to keep in shape, and said calmly: “So, this Carl Icahn can see See?"

Zhen Yu said: "Well, yes, it's quite easy to talk about."
