Top of the big era

Chapter 1227 The first phase of fundraising is over

The continental United States is mainly in the temperate zone, while southern Florida is close to the Caribbean Sea and is tropical.

It is conceivable that in winter, places like Miami will be very popular. The best, of course, is Palm Beach. There are ports to go to sea, and there are many small islands in the sea.

These islands are all private.

You need to go up by boat or plane.

After many rich people bought the island, they spent huge sums of money on it to build roads, build airports, plant palm trees, build holiday houses and various leisure places.

More importantly, this side is close to the Caribbean Sea, next to many underdeveloped regions, such as Cuba, Mexico, Haiti, Costa Rica and so on.

This area is definitely full of beautiful women!

Not the kind of stupid American girls, but many girls from underdeveloped areas in Central and North America. They are uneducated, don't know how to protect their own rights and interests, and they don't know how to protect themselves. They are more likely to be manipulated, and many of them are even under the age of 14.

In this regard, the laws in the United States are very strict. It is a crime for an adult man to have intimate behavior with a girl under the age of 18, whether she is willing or not.

But a lot of jews are perverts.

They don't care.

Have fun on your own private island, out on the ocean anyway, and close to Bermuda. The hand of the law cannot reach so far.

Among them is a famous person who frightened Zhou Buqi - Epstein.

Come on!

It turned out that his home was in Florida, just in Palm Beach, he was one of the members of the Palm Beach Club, and his prostitution den was on a nearby island.

At the reception at the Palm Beach Club in the evening, Zhou Buqi saw this guy who looked very evil at first glance. Epstein also has his own private equity. His main business is to help the rich avoid taxes. He is already on the edge of the law. In order to make big clients, he will often send girls from his family to fight.

At the reception, there was a lot of toasting.

Hypocrisy.

Zhou Buqi can have a drink with Madoff's son Andrew, but he really doesn't want to have any contact with a man like Epstein. Different road non-phase plan.

We are legitimate businessmen!

What a fuck!

This Palm Beach club is a bunch of scammers. Out of Madoff, out of Epstein, and the notorious Glazer family.

Fortunately, other people think it’s okay. Some are in the aquatic business, some are in the boat business, some are in the clothing business, some are in the high-end housekeeping business, there are members of Congress, and there are White House advisers...well, the most famous one is The big boss of Victoria's Secret Lingerie, Les Wexner, also said that he would introduce supermodels to Zhou Buqi.

With so many people, it is impossible to remember and grasp everything in a short period of time.

Don't worry.

It's okay to take your time.

When dealing with this group of Jews, hypocrisy is all nonsense, and money is the most real thing. They contribute money and invest every week, and everyone shares the money they earn to complete the bundle of interests. In the future, financial reports will be released every quarter, and seeing the growing numbers, everyone's friendship will be formed.

As for non-monetary personal relationships, Zhou Buqi has no interest at all.

Personal friends still have to go to Silicon Valley to find them.

Although some bigwigs in Silicon Valley also have a lot of complaints, for example, Bill Gates is in Epstein's circle of friends...but generally they are good, much better than Wall Street and Hollywood.

"Zhou, the planes are all ready, after a while, go to my place?"

Epstein didn't have any serious business. He mainly cooperated with the rich and powerful to engage in some gray area operations, and he immediately focused on Zhou Buqi.

"No no, my girlfriend is here."

Zhou Buqi declined.

The harvest tonight is very limited.

I thought it would be possible to directly raise the full amount of funds, but this group of Jews may have been frightened by Madoff. There are more than 130 people in total. After a rough calculation, they only raised a total of 700 million US dollars.

The main reason is that Andrew is the most sassy, ​​but everyone's indifference towards him is already obvious.

Zhou Buqi didn't get involved in their messy affairs, and he didn't even have any interest in taking his girlfriend to the beach to show bikinis. He hurriedly left Florida early the next morning and went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The first time you come, travel first, and take a look at the customs.

Brian Jr., the son of Comcast boss Brian Roberts, entertained him. Comcast is a well-known TV and broadband operator.

There is also a reason for Zhou Buqi's welcome.

Comcast's business has a very stable cash flow, and it is enough to charge users a fixed monthly TV fee. However, they are still not satisfied, and plan to attack Hollywood, and they are looking at NBC Universal.

Compared with those top Hollywood giants, NBC Universal is a little weaker. If Comcast takes over, it will be considered a strong alliance. NBCUniversal has content, and Comcast has resources and channels.

Zhou Buqi has relations with both parties, and can help to talk and take the lead in making connections.

Having been in touch for a long time, Zhou Buqi felt more and more the seriousness of American human society, which was even more exaggerated than in China. To do business in China, it is enough for both parties to participate.

Not in the United States.

Especially for big business, it often has to be done vigorously, and various third-party people will be invited to come forward, such as investment banks, law firms, various guarantors, recommenders, and many celebrities.

When Microsoft acquired Yahoo, it also called Zhou Buqi.

In fact, this model also has advantages.

Efficiency is poor, but it is safe. All third-party figures and middlemen actually have the role of endorsement. For example, Zhou Buqi was asked to help lead the merger negotiations between Comcast and NBC Universal. As long as he participated, it meant that Zhou Buqi recognized the transaction and the companies of both parties.

Others can judge based on his past experience and knowledge of business, which will play a driving role.

Brian Jr. just graduated from Wharton Business School this year. Together with his girlfriend, he took Zhou Buqi and his party on a tour in Philadelphia. The city is actually not big, with the art district to the north, the commercial district to the west, and the historical district to the east. The biggest attraction is the historical area and the art area. After all, this is where the old America was founded.

In the evening, the fundraising reception began.

Philadelphia is a big city with many Fortune 500 companies, such as Comcast, DuPont, AmerisourceBergen, Aramark, Lincoln Group, Crown Holdings, Campbell Soup, UGI, etc.

There are many rich people.

The Roberts family of Comcast took the lead first, Brian Roberts took the microphone to the podium, gave an impassioned speech, and said that the Roberts family would pay the top $500 million...

In one night, a total of $1.83 billion was raised.

That's enough!

Exceeded the standard!

From November 1st to November 4th, it took less than 5 days for Pluto Capital’s US$10 billion fundraising to come to an end. Even a portion of the funds will be refunded.

Extremely efficient and extremely fast.

Next, it was Goldman Sachs who collected the money on its behalf and escrowed the large sum of money on its behalf. Then it is to carry out a series of asset allocation according to the requirements of Pluto Capital.

Zhou Buqi can't delay for a moment.

Gotta hurry up and work!

When I returned to the hotel that night, I got in touch with Ms. Chen Ran, the financial director of Pluto Capital, and asked her to select all the technology stocks in the United States.

The stock code was sent over, and Zhou Buqi looked it over, excluding all unfamiliar companies, and looking at the rest...Apple, Oracle, Adobe, IBM, Sohu, Google, Netflix, Intel, Yahoo, Sony , Motorola, Microsoft, EA...

Heck, there are so many great companies!

Check every stock.

Apple's closing price on the day was $105.7.

It is not easy to calculate by looking at the stock price.

The stocks of many large companies have undergone stock splits, and Zhou Buqi can't remember clearly. But look at the market value is clear. Apple's current market cap is $135 billion. By the time the foresight disappears, the market value may reach 3 trillion US dollars, and the income of more than 20 times is relatively stable.

The stock price of Blizzard is 12.2 US dollars, 9 billion US dollars, and the future market value can reach 60 billion-70 billion US dollars, which can have a return of 7-8 times.

This performance is a bit poor.

In the era of mobile Internet, Blizzard's games can't keep up.

Huh?

And Netease.

Now NetEase's stock price is 20.5 US dollars, with a market value of 3.4 billion US dollars. In the future, it can reach 80 billion to 90 billion US dollars. This return on investment is even higher than Apple! It's a pity that the scale is too small to eat too much.

Oops, it is still reliable for Chinese concept stocks!

Look again!

Sohu? never mind. Sina? never mind. grand? never mind. Ctrip? never mind. giant? never mind. Perfect? never mind. Baidu...Baidu is also very average, with a stock price of 223 US dollars and a market value of 7.8 billion US dollars. The future rate of return is about 10 times.

Forget it, don’t look for Chinese concept stocks yet.

Microsoft?

Forget it, now is not the time for Microsoft. In order to save the stock price, Ballmer recently introduced too strong a policy. Let's talk when we step down. Yahoo... well, that's a no-brainer.

Amazon!

Well, this can be.

Amazon's current stock price is $52.3, its market value is only $26.5 billion, and its future market value is $1.5 trillion... This is a return of 50-60 times!

Oops, this is a good investment! Better than apples!

Netflix's size is too small, and its current total market value is only 1.5 billion US dollars, so it is impossible to buy it. Just a little meaning. Google... is not as good as imagined, and the current market value is 110 billion US dollars, which is a return rate of 10-15 times.

This time, Zhou Buqi could see that it was complicated for big money to enter the market.

Pluto Capital's Phase I fund size is $10 billion.

According to the requirements of Nasdaq, if more than 5% of the total share capital is required to be reported, it cannot be bought and sold in the secondary market at will, and it must be notified in advance.

This will be very troublesome.

It is best for each stock to only hold 4.99% of the total share capital.

This means that small companies with low market capitalization have limited investment quota. You can only find some other large-scale targets.

For example, Apple and Google, if they both buy, each can take in 5 billion to 7 billion US dollars.

From this point of view, the operation of Pluto Capital's Phase I and Phase II funds cannot be too unified. Because the plate is not big enough. If you have too much money, you can only choose some big plates like Apple and Google to invest in. Especially for Apple, the future growth is too stable, even if it takes more than 5% of the share, it doesn't matter.
