I have become top-tier, so I come to proficiency

Chapter 472: One billion yuan in a gamble, is it too much?
In the hotel room.

Red wine and champagne were placed aside, but there was no sign of celebration.

Zheng Quan sat on the sofa, pushed his laptop aside, and sighed, "Ah, when do you think this will end? I thought ringing the bell on Nasdaq was the end, but in the end, we still have to fight to the death. What kind of thing is this? If I had known earlier, I would rather not go public. Can't I just be a local emperor in China?"

It has been many days since kiwi fruit came on the market.

Zheng Quan and his team did not return.

On the one hand, there are subsequent operations and overseas company matters to deal with.

On the other hand, just when their market value was soaring after listing, they suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a group of people deliberately disrupting their kiwi fruit stock market.

Of course, it may not seem to have much harm to them at the moment.

But Zheng Quan and the company's senior management knew from their years of understanding of overseas finance that this was definitely not groundless.

With such a test just after the listing, it is difficult to guarantee stable development in the future.

"Sure enough, there are a group of wolves living on Wall Street." Zheng Quan complained, and then continued: "But the question is, who are they? Is it the short-selling institutions, or the competition among peers?"

Su Mu listened to Zheng Quan's words and felt puzzled.

Although he doesn't know much about financial matters, when it comes to competition among peers, Kiwi's biggest competitors are Penguin and Oil Depot.

But based on Su Mu's understanding of Zhao Zhouming and Yu Hong, they would not do such a thing.

Moreover, he had privately communicated with these two people on WeChat not long ago.

Su Mu: "It shouldn't be the other two. I think their target is not in China."

Zheng Quan was stunned and looked at Su Mu: "What you mean is..."

Su Mu: “The launch of kiwi fruit is actually similar to the launch of Penguin Oil Depot, but the only difference is that this time the hype is bigger.

Maybe that's why I joined, so it's inevitable that a big tree attracts attention.

Even in overseas markets, there are video companies like the Big Three. If you continue to expand overseas, you may be curbed by them."

"Sure!" After listening to Su Mu's analysis, Zheng Quan looked at him in surprise: "You also know these? To be honest, your analysis makes sense, and our company's team is also investigating in this direction."

I am telling you this because my good friend Van Diesel secretly sent me a message. You won’t be disappointed in me, will you, brother… Su Mu smiled: “Hey, it’s a small matter. After all, we are in the same boat now.”

Zheng Quan was suddenly touched, his eyes slightly red: "Brother Su Mu, our company is so lucky to have you join us."

Su Mu patted Zheng Quan on the shoulder and said, "Brother, to be honest, I have always regarded you as my good brother. You know that I have always valued friendship since I was a child. By the way, I think we should increase the share price a little bit for the repurchase and raise another 10 billion yuan. What do you think?"

Zheng Quan: "..."

Su Mu: "It's comfortable to look at, with both zeros and whole numbers."

Zheng Quan was instantly moved and said, "No, isn't the span a bit too big for both zeros and whole numbers? There is a difference of 100 million between 200 and more than 200. Can you round it up like this?"

"Look at what you said." Su Mu hugged Zheng Quan's shoulders and said, "Good brother, I have to say a few words to you:

In this life, you should not care too much about money. Life is over in the blink of an eye. Why bother about a few hundred million?

Besides, now that the three of you are developing overseas markets, you will definitely have to compete with these foreign platforms. In such a bloody battlefield, you don’t need me to help you.”

"That does make sense." Zheng Quan covered his chin, "But the problem is that I don't even know who my competitor is."

Su Mu smiled: "It's not hard to guess. The largest video content company in the United States is HULU. The copyright of Game of Thrones was also theirs."

Zheng Quan was stunned: "HULU? Are you sure?"

Of course, what people in Hollywood told me, how could it be false... Su Mu pointed at himself: "Brother, when have I ever lied to you?"

"..."

"Add 10. Is that too much?"

"You are asking for a higher price."

“What if I help you make content in the future to compete with HULU?”

"let me see……"

"Brother, Mr. Zheng! You don't know that Yu Hong and Zhao Zhouming have already contacted me. If I hadn't had a World Cup to participate in, it might have started long ago."

"Here! If you want more, add more!"

Su Mu slapped his thigh and said, "See, I knew Brother Zheng was generous. Deal!" Qian Jida: "!!!"

Everyone: "..."

...

I guess no one would have thought of it.

A share repurchase worth tens of billions of dollars was negotiated in a hotel room.

Su Mu took Qian Jida back.

His time in the United States is limited. After all, the World Cup is coming soon and he needs to train with the national team.

As for Zheng Quan, the next task is to rationalize the high repurchase price.

According to the listing price, 20 billion is the limit.

But the extra money will definitely be questioned by Kiwifruit’s top management.

However, Zheng Quan still has some say in spending money.

And they have always been very experienced.

"Mr. Zheng, I want to know why they need to add an extra 1 billion to the 20 billion market value repurchase. This amount of money is not a small amount."

"Sumu certainly helped us a lot in going public, but these 20 billion are enough."

"What the two CEOs said is very correct. What kind of star can't be sold for 20 billion? It doesn't make sense that this amount of money is fake."

On the conference call.

Everyone questioned Zheng Quan.

However, Zheng Quan was not panicked at all. He waited until everyone had finished speaking before he stood up and spoke:
"Short-sighted, are you only able to see this mere 1 billion now?"

"... "

"??"

Zheng Quan: “Take a look at the information I sent, this is the largest video content platform in the United States, HULU.

It is also the biggest competitive obstacle for us to expand overseas markets in the future.

At present, they have already tested us and even want to short us in the stock market. If it weren't for Su Mu's influence, do you think our stock price would fall after just a few days of listing?"

"..."

"..."

Regime: "In the future, we at Kiwifruit will face a competitor with Hollywood's top film industry. What do you think we can use to compete with HULU? Are we relying on those domestic idol dramas?"

The whole place was quiet.

After a long while, Zheng Quan said: “Think about it, if Sumu wins the World Cup, how much influence will he have?

Is it more than one billion?
Actually not much.

Just treat it as a big gamble, I bet Su Mu can win!
When he returns to the film and television industry, who will be able to compete with him? "

...

...

Yinhe City Airport.

Su Mu, Qian Jida and others finally landed and returned home.

Master Zhu happily went to the parking lot to pick up his car and then returned directly to the company.

Su Mu had just arrived at the office and was about to take a break.

The image came to mind.
