Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi's ideas have taken off, and he feels that multiple parties should join forces to do something big. The one-line communication with Yang Zhiyuan like Boss Ma did in private was indeed done mysteriously, but Xiaojiazi was a little angry.

However, Joe Lacob on the other side is in a difficult situation. He is now experiencing some financial crises.

Another point is that he is not sure about next year's economic situation.

The sequelae of the subprime mortgage crisis still exist, and the European debt crisis is getting worse. This has a great impact on the global investment environment. Even if we survive this year, there may be big trouble next year.

It is better to solve the problem once and for all to avoid long nights and dreams!

Now Joe Lacob has completely quit the investment industry and focuses on managing the Golden State Warriors. He has switched from the investment circle to the sports circle.

Let's forget about capital operations and just manage the Warriors honestly.

Joe Lacob made a very bold decision, "How about you take over part of the shares?"

This is the second time he mentioned it. Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand, "Shares? What shares?"

Joe Raco preached: "I have encountered some problems with funds here. If you agree, I would like to transfer 10% of the shares of the Golden State Warriors to you for $60 million."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was stunned and turned to look at him, a little surprised.

Joe Lacob sighed: "If it's not convenient for you to have funds here, forget it. Later I will sell some KPCB shares and withdraw some funds. One thing I can guarantee is that without your consent, The Warriors will not bring in a third shareholder."

The Golden State Warriors currently have two shareholders, each holding 50% of the shares.

The shareholding structure is simple, so management will be clear. If a third small shareholder is introduced, some of his interests may have to be taken into account, which will increase the complexity.

Another point is that they acquired the Golden State Warriors for US$450 million two years ago, and a 10% stake is US$45 million.

Now, Joe Lacob intends to transfer 10% of the shares for US$60 million, a premium of 33%, which is not a small range.

Zhou Buqi said: "There is definitely no problem in terms of funding, but... do you really want to transfer 10% of the shares? This will break the current equity structure."

"This is the best way to solve some of the problems I am facing now." Joe Lacob glanced at him with a firm expression, "If it is less than 60 million US dollars, I will not agree to this deal."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "Money is not a problem, I'm just surprised."

Joe Lacob's eyes were clear, "You have my trust!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about management rights. Whether you hold 50% or 40% of the shares, the Warriors will be managed by you. At most, I will occasionally make one or two small suggestions and will not interfere with you." Team management.”

Joe Lacob nodded, "I know, I want to transfer the shares to you instead of introducing a third shareholder."

Zhou Buqi turned to look at him, "Have you really thought about it?"

"Do you agree?"

"Can!"

…

Zhou Buqi came to watch a game at the Golden State Warriors' home court, and then something good happened to him. Bought a 10% stake from Joe Lacob for $60 million.

Although this investment is at a premium compared to the original acquisition, the future rate of return will not be worse than investing in technology companies such as Google and Apple.

As long as the NBA changes its operational thinking, from a "cool collision" style to a "technical flow" and greatly improves the viewing experience, it will become the sports event with the fastest growth rate in the future.

However, although this transaction has great potential, it is much lower than the future rate of return of acquiring Yahoo, especially the repurchase of Alibaba's shares.

"Yahoo" has suddenly become the most focused answer for Zhou Buqi recently.

Originally, he was still on vacation and wanted to come to the United States temporarily. Looking at it this way, the Yahoo case is so important, so there is no need to take a vacation. I told Ning Yaxian that my wife, concubines and children came from Sydney, and the family reunited in Silicon Valley.

Zhen Yu is pregnant, but there is no movement from Shi Jinglin.

We have to get this done quickly!

In the evening, Senior Sister Zhen Yu came to the study and told Zhou Buqi about the matter, "I have told Ning Yaxian and Sun Wanran that my pregnancy must be kept secret for now. At least for now, it is best not to let Shi Jinglin knows, so as not to affect her emotions."

Zhou Buqi patted his thigh and agreed, "Yes, it should be like this, or you are more thoughtful. Linlin doesn't know what's wrong, why is there still no movement. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and everything is fine."

Zhen Yu pursed her lips, walked around the desk, walked over and sat down on his lap, "I know."

"you know?"

"Well, aren't we investing in the field of life sciences? This year I have communicated with many scientists in this field. They are all big names in this field. I understand the hidden factors of having children."

"Really?" Zhou Buqi immediately became concerned, and he really suffered a lot for this, "What's going on? You don't know, this is really not easy! It's quite easy for you and Baoshan to get pregnant; When sisters Ning Yaxian and Ning Yameng were pregnant, they encountered a little trouble, and it took several months to get pregnant. Shi Jinglin's current situation is almost the same as that of Wen Zhixia, who didn't get pregnant for more than half a year. Back then When Teacher Wen and I were having Nian Nian, we were so anxious that we thought there was something wrong with our health."

Zhen Yu sat softly on his lap, "It's nothing to do with your health, it's a deep-seated factor. Even if you go to the hospital for a check-up, you won't be able to find out."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's going on?"

Zhen Yu chuckled and said, "Baoshan and I got pregnant so easily because we are both gentle and quiet, and have a very typical feminine aura about us."

Zhou Buqi laughed.

Zhen Yu patted her gently and said angrily: "I'm not kidding you, it's true!"

Then, Zhen Yu said something mysterious for a while, and Zhou Buqi didn't quite understand it. She suggested that Shi Jinglin should temporarily put aside her career ambitions and relax her body and mind.

"I'm tired, so I went back to rest. When Shi Jinglin comes, you can also talk to her. If she can't let go and still maintains such a proud mentality and physical condition, it will be really difficult to get pregnant."

"So early?" Zhou Buqi checked the time, "It's only nine o'clock."

"I'm going back to have a baby. Why don't you take good care of the baby you finally conceived?" Zhen Yu glanced back at the computer screen and found that it was an email about Yahoo. "Does Boss Ma disagree?"

Zhou Buqi said: "He is too boring. I am communicating with Lu Qi. You know, he used to be the senior vice president of Yahoo. He left because he was fed up with Yahoo's rigidity."

"Exchange what?"

"I'll see if Yahoo's business can complement Ziweixing International's industrial line."
