Top of the Great Era

Zhou Buqi's social circle is very wide, and one of the important reasons is the binding of interests. He has a Pluto capital in his hand, and the investors are all high-end wealthy businessmen in the United States. Victoria's Secret's big boss Wexner is one of them. one.

Not only that, but Zhou Buqi would often send some gifts, all of which were bought from China, such as some contemporary calligraphy works or traditional Chinese paintings, or a set of exquisite JDZ porcelain, or some jade ornaments...

Actually very cheap.

The cultural attribute is very strong, and it is easy to fool foreigners.

Reciprocity, Zhou Buqi will also receive many gifts in return, some of which are very expensive, for example, a member of the Morgan family sent back a brush wash from the Ming Dynasty, and someone sent back a painting of Bada Shanren landscape painting.

Victoria's Secret's boss, Wexner, is a common man and has a bad reputation in the industry. He often uses the opportunity to sign contracts with supermodels to lure them into intimate behaviors.

The whole Victoria's Secret company has this kind of atmosphere from top to bottom.Anyone who dares to report will completely lose the chance to get a Victoria's Secret show contract.

During the Spring Festival this year, Wexner sent a gift in return, which was the Ocean Fantasy underwear worn by Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr exhibited at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November last year, worth as much as 11 million US dollars.

However, the Zhou family is not interested in this thing.

Underwear studded with jewels is useless.More importantly, these are all worn by others, and they are not given to anyone.

No one cares about second-hand goods worn by a model.

Hang it up as an exhibit.

At the beginning, Zhou Buqi was also very interested in models. He held several big parties for models. When there was a Victoria’s Secret show, he would go to the scene to watch it... and he would use his identity to go to In the background, you can see the pictures of those Victoria's Secret supermodels who are naked and let the makeup artists apply powder and oil all over their bodies to change their underwear.

However, after learning more about the inside story, I lost interest.

I haven't paid much attention to the Victoria's Secret show for many years.

The Evan Spiegel in front of him is only in his early twenties, and he is a good student from an upper-class family. He is curious and impulsive in this regard, but has little knowledge.

Zhou Buqi saw something from his state, and said with a smile: "Miranda Kerr? Want to know her?"

Spiegel took a deep breath, "Can you?"

Zhou Buqi said: "What's wrong with this? Any Victoria's Secret supermodel is fine. If you are interested, wait until this year's Victoria's Secret show, and we can go and see it."

Spiegel exclaimed: "Miranda is so mesmerizing!"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Do you like the Ocean Fantasy underwear she wore?"

"what?"

Spiegel was taken aback for a moment, and when he heard the meaning of the other party's words, his excitement was beyond words.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "If you like it, I'll give it to you later, it's useless for me to keep it."

"thanks, thanks!"

Spiegel is so beautiful that the snot bubbles are about to pop out.

It was the fantasy bra worn by Miranda Kerr in the big show. It was priceless in the market, and it was impossible to buy it. It even had a certain collection attribute.

If you can give this underwear as a gift to the other party, wouldn't the relationship be established?

……

The two chatted in the office for 20 minutes, but they didn't talk about any serious business, and the topics all revolved around women.From Hollywood actresses to popular female singers, we also talked about Victoria's Secret's world supermodels.

Although this Spiegel has dated many girls, but in front of Boss Zhou, he is like a first-time brother, and he is coaxed into elation with just a few words.

It seems to have a feeling of opening the door to a new world.

In another conference room, Yang Zhiyuan led people to discuss the details of the acquisition with the Snapchat team. Spiegel opened the door and walked in, announcing loudly: "There is no need to talk! Just follow the last plan." Already!"

"what?"

There was an instant silence in the conference room.

Not to mention these people on Snapchat, even Yang Zhiyuan was in a daze, not knowing what happened.

This is done?
Don't talk about it?

At this time, Yang Zhiyuan once again felt deeply in his heart, or he has made such a great career achievement at a young age, and even bought Yahoo.

I have been talking here for almost two months, and there are still many details that have not been settled, and there are several critical nodes that have not been able to break through.

This is Zhou Buqi's first time here, and it took only 20 minutes before and after, and it was done.

So it's settled.

Ziweixing International completed the acquisition of Snapchat at a price of US$8.2 million.Among them, 4000 million US dollars in cash, and 7.8 million US dollars worth of stock, about 800 million shares.

When he left, Yang Zhiyuan was still in a daze, and he couldn't believe it, "This is it?"

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "A small company that has only been in business for more than a year, with 20 employees, can sell for a sky-high price of 8 million U.S. dollars. What more do you want? The money is in place, and it's easy to talk about."

Yang Zhiyuan shook his head, "The point of disagreement is not money."

"Ok?"

“They want to keep 20 percent, the two founders, each keep 10 percent and operate independently.”

"is it?"

Zhou Buqi didn't care at all.

Yang Zhiyuan was very surprised, "You don't know?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It's all trivial details, all trivial matters."

Yang Zhiyuan found it difficult to understand, "Is this still a trivial matter? Didn't you talk about it in the office?"

Zhou Buqi said frankly: "No talk."

"How is it possible?" Yang Zhiyuan didn't believe it at all, "Then why did he agree?"

Zhou Buqi left by car with him.Go back to the company first, hold a meeting, inform the good news, and then prepare for the next handover.

Then, Zhou Buqi will go to Canada.

Ning Yaxian has already taken her secretaries all the way north to visit the west coast of Canada, and drove a luxury yacht to enjoy the beauty of the west coast of North America.

It's midsummer, and it gets cooler the further north you go.

It just so happens that Shopify is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, also on the west coast.Zhou Buqi planned to take a trip with Kurian, visit Shopify, and persuade them to sell the company to Ziweixing International.

Then, I stopped by to meet Ning Yaxian and the others' secretary gang.

Hearing Yang Zhiyuan's question, Zhou Buqi explained casually: "Spiegel is a rich second generation, born in the [-]s, with the cool feeling of young people, not in the conventional sense at all. That kind of entrepreneur. Start with emotion, not reason.”

Yang Zhiyuan nodded, "So you adopted a different negotiation strategy?"

Zhou Buqi coughed and said, "It's just like-minded people."

Yang Zhiyuan was in awe when he heard what he said.

The two met for the first time.

We talked for only 20 minutes, right?
This is like-minded?
It really is a big boss, this social ability is really strong.

Zhou Buqi said: "If you want to win this kind of person, formal negotiations in suits and leather shoes will not have much effect, and there is no point in throwing money at them. They have never been short of money since they were young. The most important thing is to start with relationships."

Yang Zhiyuan was a little amused, "What's the relationship?"

Zhou Buqi said: "I gave him a gift worth several million dollars. As soon as he was happy, he agreed."

"Ah?" Yang Zhiyuan was startled, "That's it?"

"that is it."

Zhou Buqi gave the answer half-hidden.For the benefit of the company, the big boss gave gifts out of his own pocket. The sense of responsibility of the big shareholder must be seen by the board of directors and made known to the small shareholders.

In fact, it is also a common management routine of human beings for thousands of years.

Harvesting 1000 yuan from the common people, and then returning him 100 yuan in the name of various preferential treatment, welfare, and relief, he will be grateful to Dade Mountain and call long live.

Yang Zhiyuan was a little unconvinced, "A gift worth several million dollars can solve a case worth hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "It depends on the person. If Zuckerberg came forward, it is estimated that the price was 30 billion US dollars, and Spiegel would not agree. Google came forward, and the price was 40 billion US dollars. It may not be able to close the deal. First of all, Ziweixing The international business is more compatible with Snapchat, and there is...the power of role models."

Yang Zhiyuan laughed, "Are you his role model?"

Zhou Buqi admitted generously, "Maybe, this damn personality charm."
