Top of the big era

IBM still has a strong foundation. If you want to kill some small companies that Ziweixing has dealt with in the past, it is really impossible to kill them with three blows.

Suning still has high hopes for IBM, believing that as long as IBM integrates its powerful cloud computing platform, the next cooperation with on-campus group buying can achieve great success.

This caused a lot of trouble for Ziweixing.

However, Zhou Buqi is not helpless.

He had made thorough preparations before the plan started. If it doesn't work, just secretly do some dirty tricks behind your back!

Micropoint Antivirus and Micropoint Security Guard have been prepared for a long time. In the worst case, they will use damage to deal with damage and violence to deal with violence.

Zhou Buqi is going on a business trip to Europe again.

This time it was to England.

Recently, he has four relatively large commercial cases to work on.

First, JD.com’s financing has been completed.

Second, all the terms of Spotify's financing have been reached. Zhou Buqi went to London this time to sign a contract.

Third, the acquisition of EMI is awaiting the verdict of the U.S. court. Basically, the results will be announced this month, and everything is going well.

Fourth, acquire Lufthansa’s IT infrastructure department.

This time Zhou Buqi went to London, mainly to take Xu Baihui there and give her a platform. The negotiated financing plan is for Spotify to dilute 20% of its shares and raise US$280 million, which will be funded by four institutions: Ziweixing International, Ziweixing Global, Jieyu Media and family funds representing Zhou Buqi personally.

The four major institutions divided the shares equally, with each party investing US$70 million and receiving a 5% share.

This is Spotify's C round of financing. After the completion of this round of financing, the share related to Zhou Buqi in Spotify's equity structure has exceeded 50%, namely 25.8% from Ziweixing International, 13% from family funds, and 5% from Ziweixing Global. and Jieyu Media 5%.

Xu Baihui was very happy. It was not easy for Jieyu Media to get such an international venture capital opportunity, but the happiest thing was Tang Yixin who came out with her.

This is her first time going abroad.

Especially the flight was Mr. Zhou's luxurious A330-200 private jet. The interior decoration was like a palace. Looking at the fairy-like clouds outside the window, it was like a dream.

Xu Baihui talked about some business matters with Boss Zhou, then came to sit next to her and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Tang Yixin came back to her senses and bit her red lips, "Mr. Xu, my first time going abroad was on a private jet. It feels so unrealistic."

Xu Baihui said: "Follow Mr. Zhou and you will find that there are too many unrealistic things in this world."

Tang Yixin nodded lightly, "Well, Mr. Zhou is so great."

"Cherish it."

"Well, I'm so lucky to meet Mr. Xu and be favored by Mr. Zhou. I...I will definitely work hard and seize the opportunity to become a big star."

Tang Yixin clenched her white and tender fists.

Xu Baihui shook her head and looked at her deeply, "You have a cognitive problem. With Mr. Zhou as your sponsor, does it matter whether you are popular or not, and whether you can become a big star?"

"ah?"

Tang Yixin blinked, obviously this rhetorical question was beyond her understanding.

Xu Baihui said calmly: "In the face of power and capital, stars are just tools. No matter how popular a star is, she is just a star. Even if she is an international actress like Miss Zhang, what can she do? Last year's splash scandal was different from the 18th tier. A little star is publicly humiliated but doesn't dare to fight back? Just because it's Aunt Zhao."

Of course Tang Yixin knew about this and was stunned for a moment.

Yes, even the International Chapter has no resistance.

Tang Yixin had just graduated from college and had just debuted. She didn't know how to understand such a complicated thing. She was confused for a while, "Mr. Xu, please teach me."

Xu Baihui said: "It's understandable to want to be a big star, but this shouldn't be the goal you pursue. Because even if you become the most popular star in the country, you might as well get a chance to warm Mr. Zhou's bed."

Tang Yixin took a deep breath.

Xu Baihui glanced at her and said, "How is it? Can you distinguish the priorities? The entertainment industry is a colorful world. Many young people come in and are dazzled and lost. Especially a young and beautiful girl like you, who has some good looks. When the financial backers support you, your ambitions will expand. Don’t put the cart before the horse. If you want to survive in this circle, you must understand what you really rely on.”

Tang Yixin nodded lightly, "Yes, I understand."

Xu Baihui turned around and saw Boss Zhou drinking red wine, so she stood up and said, "Let's go over and toast Mr. Zhou a glass of wine, and then you can try to see if you can enter his room."

The flight to London is so long that I usually need to spend a few hours in my bedroom to get some sleep.

Drinking red wine is to brew some emotions before going to bed.

On the other side, Zhou Buqi brought over a bottle of collector's edition red wine of unknown vintage and brand... Senior Wu Yu was very interested in this stuff, and she usually collected it. According to Aunt Xue, she spent US$6.5 million just collecting various red wines in the past year.

It's okay for girls to drink some red wine. Zhou Buqi poured wine for Ning Yaxian and Sun Wanran who were accompanying them, and they both accepted it happily. However, when Tang Yixin was poured wine, she was a little flattered.

"Zhou...Mr. Zhou, let me do it."

"fine."

Tang Yixin held a wine glass in both hands and glanced at Xu Baihui next to her, her heart pounding. After pouring the wine, he said boldly: "Mr. Zhou, thank you for taking care of me. I'd like to toast you!"

Then, he drank half a glass of red wine in one gulp.

Zhou Buqi just took a sip, patted her shoulder, and said with a smile: "First time going abroad?"

Tang Yixin sat down obediently and said "hmm" softly.

Zhou Buqi said: "When we arrived in London... By the way, do you know Jiang Shuying?"

"do not know."

Tang Yixin shook her head.

Zhou Buqi said: "You can get to know each other then. She is studying in the UK, and you can follow her to buy more beautiful clothes in London."

"No... no need..." Tang Yixin was still a little reluctant to let go, mainly because she didn't want to trouble Mr. Zhou, "I can usually buy foreign fashion brands, and they're pretty cheap."

"Cheap?"

"Well, there is an e-commerce website made by Yang Mi... an actress who has played Guo Xiang. Anyway, she is very good. She started her own business and made a clothing website. There are many European luxury clothes on it, and the discounts are huge. , it will be cheaper than in domestic shopping malls.”

Tang Yixin is still new to the world, and she really thought that just because of her status as an actress, Yang Mi could play a role in cross-border luxury goods e-commerce.

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Oh, you're talking about Farfetch!"

"Yes," Tang Yixin's eyes lit up, "Mr. Zhou, you also know? I have many good sisters who like this website. You can buy many big brands with deep discounts, all of which are genuine."

Sun Wanran couldn't help laughing.

Ning Yaxian and Xu Baihui looked at each other and said nothing.

"The discount products are not trendy enough." Zhou Buqi suggested kindly, "When you go to London, you should get to know Jiang Shuying. Maybe we will be neighbors in the future. Okay, have a glass of wine and go back to the room to rest. You don’t have time to get jet-lagged when you go to London.”

"Mr. Zhou..."

Tang Yixin hurriedly chased after her. After receiving Mr. Xu's instructions, she couldn't care less about the opinions of Secretary Ning and Secretary Sun.

"Um?"

Zhou Buqi looked back at her.

Tang Yixin bit her red lips and said, "Mr. Zhou, can I go to your room to rest?"

"Then come over."

The number of bedrooms on the plane is limited, so it’s hard to fit in without squeezing in.

It's just that the sound insulation is not very good.
