Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi does private equity, targeting the elites of the upper class. If you want to do this, you have to rely on extremely attractive fund rules and the endorsement of Goldman Sachs.

But some people don't have to.

Such as the famous Bernard Madoff.

He is a well-known financial investor on Wall Street. He has invested in his career for almost 50 years, and he is definitely a respected senior.

He does private equity and never explains his investment strategy. No one knew exactly what kind of financial operations he had, and even the regulators were at a loss... and didn't dare to ask more questions, and didn't dare to offend this great god. I only know that the social elites are rushing to hand over their money to him to manage.

However, under the financial crisis, his life is not easy.

Some people withdrew their funds due to financial difficulties; some people also withdrew their funds because they saw opportunities for bargain hunting and believed that there were better investment targets.

At lunch that day, he told his second son Andrew, "This year's dividends will be paid out in advance."

"Why?" Andrew was very surprised, "It's still early, it's the beginning of November."

The old Mr. Madoff was silent for a long time, "The major clients in the Middle East want to redeem their 7 billion US dollars investment, which will cause a problem of capital turnover."

Andrew was puzzled, "Does this have anything to do with the distribution of this year's bonus?"

Madoff's answer was irrelevant, "A Chinese boy named Zhou Buqi came out recently. He did a fund project, and the terms he offered were very attractive. As far as I know, many Middle Eastern clients have already followed him."

"ah?"

Andrew is a little unclear so.

A brat, how can he compare with your old man?

Although Madoff is old, he is in excellent health. He cuts the beef skillfully. He glanced up at his son and said softly, "In the future, find a chance to get to know Boy Zhou, and then introduce clients from Palm Beach to him and make friends with him." .”

Palm Beach refers to the Palm Beach Club, which is only open to Jews, with an annual fee of $300,000. It is the top Jewish organization in the United States. Madoff is the celebrity of this Jewish organization.

Andrew was in a hurry, “Father, you haven’t told me the reason yet!”

Madoff ate his lunch and refused to answer.

"Father!"

"Let's talk in the study later."

Half an hour later, Andrew had a heart attack after hearing what his old father said.

...

Las Vegas.

Xue Baoshan wore a blue backless evening dress and a suit jacket, and returned to the room a little tired.

The first thing is slippers.

She is the least good at wearing high heels.

"Baoshan, you're back." Sun Wanran walked over with a smile, and looked around, "Huh? Where's Zhou Buqi?"

Xue Baoshan said softly: "I have something to do at the moment, he is talking to someone in the back, he will be right back. Huh? What about them?"

"It's not over yet." Sun Wanran curled her lips, "Those little stars are amazing, each with 10,000 US dollars in chips, the three of them combined, it is estimated that they won more than 100,000 US dollars."

Xue Baoshan couldn't help laughing, "What about you? You came back after losing everything?"

This is the MGM Grand Hotel. Downstairs is the gambling hall, restaurant, and show, and upstairs is the guest room. It is very convenient to go through one train.

Sun Wanran blushed slightly, "I just find it boring."

"Let Sister Linlin bring them back, what time is it?"

"Oh, I'm going to call."

Sun Wanran called and asked curiously, "How's your harvest today?"

Xue Baoshan pursed her lips and said, "Very good. There are quite a lot of rich people here. Many of them raised $50 million or $100 million. It is estimated that at least $1.5 billion was raised tonight."

"5.6 billion plus 1.5 billion...then the 10 billion US dollar quota is almost full?"

"yes."

"awesome!"

Sun Guanran was inexplicably amazed.

Xue Baoshan smiled and said: "Student Zhou said that we must make a quick decision and hurry up. The signals of quantitative easing have been released, and the stock market will definitely go up next. We must quickly raise funds and invest in it while the stock price is low. By December, technology stocks may collectively pick up."

Sun Guanran found it hard to understand, and shook his head slightly, "Sometimes it's really hard to understand him, and I don't know where the confidence comes from."

Xue Baoshan pursed her lips and said softly: "Believe in him, it's always right."

"Um."

Sun Guanran sighed inwardly.

No wonder this junior high school classmate dotes on Miss Bao so much, her character is really docile. I guess I will never be able to be so cute and gentle in my life.

At this time, Zhou Buqi came back.

Sun Wanran ran over to open the door, and when they met, she pouted, "Zhou Buqi, I lost all my money."

Zhou Buqi laughed, went to hug her in his arms, and kissed her for half a minute, "Nine out of ten bets lose, it's not surprising to lose, but it's strange to win."

Sun Guanran felt a little embarrassed, and whispered in his ear: "I lost all the 10,000 dollars in chips that I promised, and then I secretly exchanged 50,000 dollars for it, and I lost all of them. Don't tell them. "

Zhou Buqi was angry and funny, and gave her a look, "Don't do this next time!"

"Yeah!" Sun Guanran smiled sweetly, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Why did you let Baoshan come back alone first? Are you afraid that she will meet bad guys?"

Zhou Buqi sighed, "Something happened suddenly, I'm shocked."

"What's wrong?"

Sun Guanran looked very careful, and Xue Baoshan, who was sitting on the sofa rubbing her feet, also raised her head to look over, her beautiful eyes were full of worry.

Zhou Buqi walked over, took the two of them by the little hands, and said with a smile: "It may be a good thing for us that a private equity boss has a thunderstorm."

Sun Guanran was more lively, unlike Xue Baoshan's quiet and calm temperament, and hurriedly asked in a sweet voice: "Why is there a thunderstorm? The performance loss is miserable?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's not just the poor performance? It's involved in financial fraud, and the total scale may be 50 billion US dollars, or 60 billion US dollars!"

"ah?"

Sun Wanran was stunned, and Xue Baoshan also covered her mouth and whispered, looking incredible.

Zhou Buqi further explained, "There is a Wall Street investment circle named Bernard Madoff, who was reported by his son. I said why Madoff is so familiar, it turned out to be a big liar. He played It's a Ponzi scheme. Alas, what a reputation! What a pity!"

Sun Guanran knelt on the sofa, pulled his arm, like a curious baby, since it had nothing to do with her man, it would be easy, and said with a smile: "What's going on?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "I don't know the details, I just chatted with them for ten minutes. It should be because his past resume is too successful. Nasdaq was a small market at the beginning, far inferior to the New York Stock Exchange. After he became the chairman of Nasdaq, he promoted a series of reform measures, and developed Nasdaq into a trading place with the same reputation as the New York Stock Exchange. After becoming famous, he retired and specialized in private equity, which happened to encounter a bubble crisis.”

Sun Guanran is a graduate of Zhongcai, who majored in economics. He blinked and said thoughtfully: "So he is worried that the loss of the fund will damage his reputation, so he can only fake it and use the principal to pretend to be a bonus? Ponzi scheme?"

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It sounds like this. When he retired to do private equity, he promised that his fund would not lose money. This was guaranteed by his lifetime reputation, but he lost money right after he did it. It’s just a Ponzi scheme.”

Sun Wanran said with great emotion: "It's because I was overwhelmed by my personal reputation, and I still have the spirit of contract."

"This is financial fraud, it's all illegal, and it's still in the spirit of the contract." Zhou Buqi couldn't help but waved his hand, "Anyway, it's a good thing for us. It is said that the local tyrants in the Middle East withdrew their capital from him, and withdrew billions of dollars. , let him reveal his secrets immediately."

"Divestment?" Sun Guanran frowned, and immediately realized, "Divestment to you?"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "What do you think? I have worked so hard to travel all over the United States to meet various investors. One of the most important reasons is to build a golden signboard! This is the brand and the guarantee of reputation. Do you think the local tyrants in the Middle East will be moved, will they cry and kneel and give me money?"

Sun Guanran looked suspicious, "But it's almost full."

Zhou Buqi said: "Building a brand through the American elite, even if it really loses money, it doesn't matter. It's just an advertising fee, and it's just a bribe for spending money to gain connections. If you want to really make a lot of money, you still have to get wool from the local tyrants in the Middle East!"

"I see!"

This time, Sun Guanran had a complete understanding of his overall conception.

The current Pluto Capital is only the first phase of the fund!

The first phase of the fund is to get acquainted with the elites of the upper class in the United States, through this group, to promote the brand of Pluto Capital, and at the same time complete the bundling of interests.

The next local tyrants in the Middle East will be the big harvesters!

Harvesting the local tyrants in the Middle East is the consensus of the whole world. No matter how much money is made from them, no one can say anything.

"I'm killing many birds with one stone, understand? Let's take it easy." Zhou Buqi snorted arrogantly when he saw her adored face, "You're looking at the world from the horizon, and I'm overlooking it from the atmosphere. Can the people I save be the same? Think about it slowly! I’ll go to the study to inquire about Madoff again, don’t bother me if there’s nothing else.”

Sun Guanran wrinkled his nose at his back, and muttered softly, "Why are you pretending! Huh, you kill more than one bird with one stone, and you're just one bird!"

After going to the study, Zhou Buqi quietly locked the door behind him.

Then he quickly took out the paperback coloring book from his briefcase, put on his laptop, and opened his mailbox.

The book was given to him this morning by Joy Swinton.

Because I was in a hurry, I didn't have time to say a lot, so I gave him this book, which is a detailed manual of their high-end human resources services in Swindon.

Choosing a maid is also recruiting, but don't be sloppy!

We must carefully select and select some high-quality talents.

In this book, the characteristics of maids are described in detail, and there are corresponding pictures, American girls, French girls, Spanish girls, Ukrainian girls, Filipino girls, Korean girls, Colombian girls...

Each has its own merits and characteristics!

In contrast, British and American girls are the worst, and Korean girls obviously don't have plastic surgery, and they can't do it either. The ones from Ukraine and Spain are not bad, but the best ones are from Central and North America, Colombia, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Dominica, Venezuela... well, invincible!
