Top of the big era

At the reception the night before the IPO, celebrities from all walks of life came. Basically all the big capital on Wall Street sent representatives to participate, either the chairman or the president. The chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the Treasury also came.

And Mr. Buffett.

There are also many representatives from major European banks. It can be said that everyone who can influence the financial market trends in Europe and the United States is present.

It also includes many people from the entertainment industry.

Everyone can see that Ziweixing Global is developing rapidly with unparalleled momentum and has developed a series of Hollywood blockbusters that look like mass production.

This takes the Hollywood industry to a higher level, making it more streamlined and industrialized, which means there will be more stable output and more high-quality content.

As long as it is a company in the entertainment industry, there is no company that does not want to be related to Ziweixing Global.

Zhou Buqi was in the right position among this group of business people. He was surrounded by Zhen Yu and Ning Lu. They were all guests, and they were all potential guests who would buy large amounts of Ziweixing Global shares. He had to receive them well.

Not only that, he also went on stage and delivered a ten-minute speech.

Just to prepare this speech, Ziweixing Global's office spent more than half a month preparing it, and revised it more than 20 times before it was approved.

The content of the speech was full of expectations for the future, and at the same time it was lively and full of American humor.

When the speech ended, the guests burst into warm applause.

As he stepped off the stage, congratulations continued.

"Mr. Zhou, what a great speech!"

At this time, a man wearing a crisp black business suit came over. He was introduced by Joshua Carey, the vice president of Ziweixing Global.

Obviously it's more important.

Upon introduction, I realized that this was Mr. Mike Duran, the chairman and CEO of the brokerage giant IMG. There are many brokerage companies in the United States, and IMG's main service customers are mainly sports stars and business models.

Look at the female companion next to Mike Duran. She is tall and fair-skinned. She wears a low-cut off-the-shoulder dress, a hip-hugging skirt, and red high-heeled shoes, which really fully demonstrates her devilish figure.

Among the female guests in the audience, this one was absolutely outstanding.

After another introduction, it turns out that she is a model, and she is a world-famous model that has quickly become famous this year. Her name is Barbara Palvin. Her appearance is not the soft one, but she looks sharp and aura.

Zhou Buqi had seen a lot and experienced a lot, and had long since "retired" from the modeling industry. He shook hands with Mike Duran in a friendly manner and smiled and said that he could promote more cooperation between the two parties in the future, not only in the entertainment business, but also in the entertainment industry. Including sports business.

He currently has a football team, a baseball team and a basketball team in the United States, and he is very interested in acquiring a football team.

Mike Duran seemed to be in a hurry, and quickly gave a brief summary of IMG's business. They not only have brokerage business, but also the management and organization of sports events.

For example, if Manchester United wants to come to the United States to play a friendly match, the expected fee is 6 million pounds a game.

IMG can operate it there.

Zhou Buqi was very interested in this, and immediately thought of Ziweixing Digital Media's business.

Of course, if Manchester United comes to the United States to play a friendly match, IMG does not need to arrange it.

In the United States, Manchester United is the most popular and well-known team, pursued by Wall Street capitalists, Silicon Valley scientists and Hollywood stars.

However, other European teams are not so good.

Even giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, and Juventus that dominate Europe may not have as much influence in the United States as English-speaking teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea.

For some quasi-rich and non-rich teams, it is even more difficult.

The United States in the past was indeed a football desert. However, the American football industry has developed extremely rapidly in recent years and has become a systematic operation.

According to statistics, there are more than 90 million football fans in the United States.

Many big football countries in Europe only have a population of a few million.

The United States is a huge market!

However, why do some super wealthy teams always go to Europe to play friendly matches, while non-rich teams rarely go there?

A very important reason is that the price cannot be quoted, which is a common problem among football clubs. Football clubs managed by football people neither understand nor reject the American market operating mechanism.

Even if they participate, they lack the leadership ability in negotiations and have no bargaining power. They can easily be manipulated by American brokerage companies like IMG and become lambs to be slaughtered.

So much so that only a few European teams go to the United States to play friendly matches and tours every year. The passion, fantasy and uncontrollability of European football are difficult to take root in American soil.

In fact, if any of the bottom teams in the Premier League or La Liga were brought to the United States, it would be enough for American fans to feel the charm and greatness of football.

It can be said that football has not developed in the United States, and European football also has an unshirkable responsibility.

They have not put the market mechanism into operation at all.

European football doesn’t need to play the American style, but if you want to push the football industry to the extremely wealthy United States and make big money there... How can you do it if you don’t understand the American market style?

The more exclusive and resistive, the more incompatible the two sides will be.

The United States doesn't understand European football, and European football rejects American market mechanisms... How much money is it making?

In this flash of lightning, Zhou Buqi quickly found a new development direction for Ziweixing Digital Media's business, and also had a powerful brand name that united with UEFA and even World Football Federation!

Zhou Buqi originally wanted to chat a few more words with Mr. Mike Duran and expand on his idea, but the other party avoided him, as if something was wrong.

But he kept his female companion, the young and beautiful supermodel Barbara Palvin.

At the same time, the staff of Ziweixing Global also left.

Zhen Yu wisely went to chat with a Wall Street investment manager next to her, and Ning Lu also took a few steps back.

Suddenly, Zhou Buqi and Miss Barbara were left alone with each other.

"Depend on!"

Zhou Buqi suddenly understood.

He thought that Mr. Duran was looking for him to discuss business and cooperation, but he didn't expect that he was talking about favors...

Um!

It doesn't seem unreasonable.

If you want to negotiate a good business deal and complete the business, you must first establish human relationships, and you will get twice the result with half the effort. Obviously, in the entertainment industry, this method will be particularly popular.

For female models and celebrities, this is also an opportunity to meet big bosses and rich men. If they can really seize the opportunity and become their guests, or even fall in love... or even get married, wouldn't that be great? Fairy tale about Prince Charming and Princess?

"well!"

Zhou Buqi sighed.

At home, in South Korea and Japan, many friends and business partners were introducing beautiful girls to him. Old guys like Yan Guangming even said they wanted to introduce his daughter to Zhou Buqi as a little girl. Friend, his daughter is only 15 years old this year...

Unexpectedly, the same thing happened when I came to the United States.

Zhou Buqi was not very interested. This Barbara looked to be about 20 years old, already an adult. People who work in the modeling industry don’t know how many boyfriends they have had, and they are no longer virgins a long time ago.

He wanted to decline politely, "Miss Palvin..."

"Sir, you can call me Barbie."

Barbara Palvin smiled slightly.

Zhou Buqi didn't get close to her and said with a smile, "Do you have a problem with me?"

Barbara glanced at him meaningfully, bit her flaming red lips and said, "Sir, I want to get acquainted with you."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "We already know each other."

Barbara said lightly: "Sir, that's not what I meant."

"what does that mean?"

Zhou Buqi pretended not to know, but he really had no interest in getting into too much trouble with her. I just feel like these Americans are really pretentious. What do they think of Mr. Zhou?

Besides, even if it’s a recommendation, can you recommend something better?

At least it has to be original, right?

Barbara took a small step forward, leaned into his ear, exhaled softly, and whispered: "Sir, if you are free, can we go on a date?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "No time."

"ah?"

Barbara was stunned for a moment, and her fair face instantly turned red.

I just feel like this person is so incomprehensible to amorous feelings!

But Zhou Buqi suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "I really don't have time. I have been too busy recently. As you can see, the listing of Ziweixing Global is too complicated, and there are still many things to deal with in the follow-up. But I have A friend, he may be relatively free recently... Come on, let me introduce you to him."
