Chapter 2997 Real Estate Stocks

Before going to South Korea, Zhou Buqi went to Los Angeles to meet Zhang Zetian's cousin Ji Xiaodan who was breastfeeding.

I've been in contact with him twice before.

Her cousin gave birth to a child in the United States in November last year. According to the policy here in the United States, as long as the child is born in the United States, he or she can obtain American citizenship.

This is also her main purpose for coming to the United States to give birth to a child.

This is a trend. Many women in China will go to the United States to give birth with big bellies, so as to obtain American citizenship in the fastest and most convenient way. Among them are many well-known and positive people in society, such as patriotic sports stars, beautiful CCTV hosts, and Weibo celebrities who curse the United States every day. This shows the huge appeal of giving birth in the United States.

During the Spring Festival, Ji Xiaodan returned to China with her children.

After the Spring Festival, she came back again.

Because she did not obtain U.S. citizenship, she wanted to live in the United States for 180 days and then strive to obtain a U.S. green card so that she could accompany her children to grow up and study in the United States.

Zhou Buqi does not interfere in other people's lives.

However, with the help of Zhang Zetian, I went to express my condolences and brought some dietary supplements to help her replenish her body, and also to help Boss Zhou replenish his body at the same time.

Then he went to Los Angeles International Airport.

Coincidentally, in the private jet area, I saw a familiar private jet with the word "WANDA" on it. The cabin door was open, and I didn't know whether it had just landed or was about to leave.

Turning around and looking...

  Ho!

Isn’t it Boss Wang?

He was wearing a long black coat and had a serious look on his face. He was walking in the front, followed by a dozen of his men who were also wearing black coats. He looked like a gangster.

Zhou Buqi waved to him.

When Boss Wang saw him, he smiled from his serious expression and was very happy. He quickly walked over and said in his Northeastern accent: "Happy New Year! Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!" Zhou Buqi laughed and walked up quickly. "What a coincidence! You came to America just after the New Year? You are too busy with work, right?"

Boss Wang shook his hand and said, "I came here this morning, and I'm leaving now."

"So urgent?"

"Doing business with the Americans is not going well. It seems like they can take advantage of me because I have a lot of money. We can't indulge them. I'm leaving now! I'm not the one who's anxious now!"

"What business?"

Zhou Buqi regretted his question as soon as he asked it.

  What else could you do when you come to Los Angeles to discuss business?

Wanda is now interested in developing into the cultural and tourism industry and transforming into a large international company. It came to Los Angeles for negotiations, probably aiming for Hollywood!

Sure enough, Boss Wang gave a definite answer, "Yes, Legendary Pictures."

Zhou Buqi sighed secretly in his heart, thinking to himself, this Old Wang is really stubborn, why doesn't he listen to me?

He and Lao Wang are both entrepreneurs from Northeast China, and they are both very generous and have cooperated many times. For example, Wu Yu's father runs a farm in Northeast China, producing some special agricultural and sideline products such as rice, flour, oil, chicken, duck and fish. In addition to supplying Ziweixing, another major partner is Wanda.

Many people are wealthy people with assets of tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, but they don't care about food safety at all. They even eat 7-yuan boxed lunches on the roadside all year round, or order takeout at the company.

In this regard, Zhou Buqi and Boss Wang have a consensus that they would rather spend more money and go through more trouble to eat safe and reliable food.

Boss Wang seemed a little embarrassed and changed the subject, "Where are you going?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Go to Korea."

Boss Wang smiled and said, "Well, I plan to go to Korea in a while and do some tourism business. Now that everyone in China is rich, tens of millions of people travel abroad every year, and the main tourist destinations are Korea and Japan. I won't do business in Japan, but I can still do business in Korea."

Zhou Buqi knew that he was a military man with a strong sense of nationalism, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I know a lot of people in Korea. If you encounter any problems when you go to Korea, you can contact me. Maybe I can help you."

The two shook hands again and boarded their own planes. The four secretaries who went to the United States were Ning Lu, Zhao Limuge, Yan Qiqi, and Zhang Zetian.

Different secretaries have different divisions of work. Yan Qiqi is responsible for the domestic investment market. It is not her who makes the investments, but she has to summarize and report to the big boss any major investment information, industry trends, or investment intelligence sent to him by others.

This allows her to have a better understanding of the current domestic investment market.

As soon as we got on the plane, Yan Qiqi said, "Wanda Commercial Real Estate's plan to go public on the A-share market may be shelved."

Zhou Buqi opened his arms, and Zhao Limuge and Zhang Zetian helped him take off his coat from behind. He asked casually, "Why are you stranded?"

Yan Qiqi said: "Wanda Commercial Real Estate has been operating for three or four years, and has not yet succeeded in listing."

"No way?" Zhou Buqi turned his head and glanced at her.

Yan Qiqi understood what the boss meant and said quickly, "It shouldn't be a policy restriction. It should be that Wanda is not satisfied with its own business structure and has been adjusting it. They want to IPO in a better posture to obtain a higher market value."

"Yeah." Zhou Buqi nodded, "Almost."

Yan Qiqi said: "The main reason is that Wanda is not short of money now. They already have two listed companies. Wanda Commercial Real Estate is their core asset, so they will be very cautious in choosing a listing to show the greatest value."

Zhou Buqi expressed his understanding. "Wanda's acquisitions in the international market mainly rely on Wanda Commercial's financing capabilities. Hmm? No, Wanda Commercial is going to be listed on the A-share market?"

"Yes."

"No way? Didn't you go to Hong Kong stocks?"

"Oh! There is news saying that Wanda has contacted the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but it's just a rumor and it's not certain whether it's true or not. They have been planning to list in the A-share market for several years, and there are too many real estate stocks in the Hong Kong stock market. If they go to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for listing, the market's price-to-earnings ratio may not be as high as that of the A-share market!"

"There is something more important than the price-to-earnings ratio."

Zhou Buqi didn't need to be a prophet. Relying on the international business experience he had accumulated, he could basically conclude that Wanda Commercial Properties would definitely be listed on the Hong Kong stock market.

"Ah?" Yan Qiqi didn't quite understand. "The purpose of going public is to make money. What's more important than money?"

Zhou Buqi said: "What is more important than money is the money that can be spent."

Wanda’s current strategy is to develop internationally and expand the company’s business footprint around the world through mergers and acquisitions.

If you want to continue to carry out mergers and acquisitions overseas, you need to use US dollars to purchase them.

When listing on the A-share market, the funds raised are in Chinese Yuan, and it is not easy to convert them into US dollars. Large-scale exchanges require a series of very complicated approvals.

It is different if you go public on the Hong Kong stock market. You can raise funds in Hong Kong dollars, which can be freely converted into US dollars.

When Wanda stops its international development strategy and no longer needs so many US dollars, it will be time to delist from the Hong Kong stock market and try to return to the A-share market. This is because the A-share market can offer a higher price-to-earnings ratio and is more recognized by the capital market.

However, you didn’t expect that after delisting from the Hong Kong stock market, you tried many times to return to the A-share market but couldn’t get up there anymore. You wanted to go back to the Hong Kong stock market again, but people were very angry about your previous withdrawal from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and didn’t like you anymore... After a series of financial operations, consecutive listing failures led to the failure of the bet, and you had to pay huge compensation to the investors. You could only sell and sell to compensate, and your business empire declined.

"Real estate..." Zhou Buqi stretched and ordered, "For real estate stocks, the price-earnings ratio of A-shares is definitely higher. My father-in-law regretted that Taizun Real Estate was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He said that he should have worked harder and operated more at the beginning, and it would have been better if it was listed on the A-share market."

At this point, Zhou Buqi told Ning Lu, "By the way, tell Senior Sister Zhen Yu to seize the opportunity in the next year and cash out as much of Taizun Real Estate's shares as possible. This is a good opportunity, and it's a rare opportunity!"

Ning Lu said, "Xu Baihui contacted me just now and said that you can go home directly after arriving in Seoul. She has arranged everything."

"Ugh!"

Zhou Buqi sighed.

Women are trouble!
