Top of the big era

PayPal's listing was very successful. Next, it was Ziweixing's turn.

Zhou Buqi did not leave New York and met many large institutions on Wall Street.

The main reason is that I hope to get their support when Ziweixing IPOs.

Ziweixing's IPO is too large, and the financing amount is likely to be 3-4 times that of PayPal, reaching an astonishing US$22 billion. There are almost no retail investors in the U.S. stock market, and the main force is various large institutions.

If you want to successfully complete an IPO, you need to say hello in advance, contact Wall Street and capital giants in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, give them sufficient demonstrations, and give them confidence so that they can confidently and boldly take advantage of the newly issued funds. stock.

This is easier for Zhou Buqi.

Past resume is here.

Moreover, Ziweixing is his core industry.

A lot of financial report analysis and data statistics don't even need to be done. With the name "Zhou Buqi", there is every reason to rush in and invest.

There were even some scenes that made the major capitalists on Wall Street dumbfounded.

In past IPO projects, in order to ensure successful financing, companies preparing to go public had to take the initiative to visit capital institutions one by one and patiently explain their company's business development, revenue prospects, business concepts, etc. to them in detail. If it doesn't work once, do it twice; if twice doesn't work, do it three times.

This is physical work.

Sometimes a CEO or CFO may lose his voice for a short time because he talks too much.

You also have to travel around the world.

If the institution is in Germany, you have to go to Germany to visit it; if the institution is in Dubai, you have to go to Dubai for door-to-door meetings.

The whole process is very complex.

If it is a particularly large project, it is not enough to communicate privately with large institutions around the world. It also requires public road shows and speeches to small and medium-sized investors to make things clear to them.

This is especially true for technology companies with Chinese concept stocks.

For many small IPOs that are not large in scale and raise hundreds of millions of dollars, the entrepreneurial teams also have to travel around the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Hong Kong Island to conduct road shows.

Because many foreign investors are not familiar with domestic companies, they have to give speeches again and again to tell investors around the world what the company does, what projects it operates, and what its future prospects are.

It takes all the efforts to attract enough capital institutions to buy the stocks they issue.

But when Zhou Buqi arrived, the old rules seemed to have changed.

He's based in Manhattan.

Except for a few major Wall Street investment banks, he would take the initiative to visit him. Most capital institutions would also take the initiative to visit him.

Even including Blackstone Group, Black Rock Group and State Street Global.

It's Saturday, it's the weekend.

As usual, it's time for a break.

With everything ready, we visited Rockefeller's home in the morning, had dinner at his home at noon, and then went horse riding at his horse farm in the afternoon.

As a result, he received a personal call from Larry Fink, CEO of Black Rock Group.

Black Rock Group, also known as BlackRock Group, is the world's largest capital institution, with an asset management scale of... nearly US$8 trillion!

This is too much money.

No one or several industries can afford it. The name of "Black Rock Capital" will definitely be on the shareholder list of any well-known listed company in the world.

Especially for the US S\u0026P 500, you really have to buy them all in order, from top to bottom, and buy as much as you can.

This is not enough.

There is still money to spend, and Black Rock Group will also be interested in non-public investment projects... In short, there are almost no financial investment products that Black Rock Group does not participate in.

To say that Middle Eastern capital is extremely rich is actually a bit of ironic exaggeration.

The United States is the richest country in the world and the world's largest financial empire. Among the top ten capital giants in the world, Black Rock Group, Vanguard, Fidelity, State Street Global, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, etc. Basically, except for one in France, the rest are all American capital institutions.

Each company manages trillions of dollars in capital. They don’t have to choose the stocks of high-quality listed companies around the world. They can just buy them all with their eyes closed.

Even though Zhou Buqi is the richest man in the world, he still treats this group of people with caution.

This time, Larry Fink, CEO of Black Rock Capital, the world's largest capital giant, came to visit in person. Even Zhou Buqi did not dare to neglect. He quickly told Ning Lu to say hello to Rockefeller and temporarily adjust the plan.

I didn’t visit his home in the morning and went directly to the racecourse to ride horses in the afternoon.

Between Black Rock and Rockefeller, I would definitely choose the former.

Even though he was in New York, Zhou Buqi couldn't bring outsiders home, so they met in the coffee shop downstairs.

A cup of coffee and a piece of cake for each person.

Zhou Buqi had met him many times. They had no friendship, but they were no strangers either. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come suddenly. I had planned to meet a friend."

"I'm sorry to disrupt your arrangements."

"It doesn't matter."

"Mainly this is an emergency. I think it is necessary to let you know as soon as possible, and I will tell you face to face."

Larry Fink was sincere.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "What's important? If I remember correctly, today is a day off."

Larry Fink shook his head, "With our kind of work, how can there be any rest days? We just have to make more business decisions and market analysis on the rest days, and then complete the investments during the working day."

Zhou Buqi praised: "So it is a very correct choice for investors to choose Black Rock Capital."

Larry Fink said: "Just this morning, we made two decisions. First, in the IPO of Ziwei Star in August, Black Rock Capital will buy Ziweixing worth US$2 billion to US$2.5 billion according to the market situation. MSI Stock.”

"Thank you very much." Zhou Buqi smiled, "However, there is no need to thank you. Because this will be a very cost-effective investment for Heiyan. The issue price of Ziweixing is indeed high, but future expectations will Higher. If you buy Ziweixing’s shares, you will definitely not suffer a loss.”

This first decision is actually not surprising.

For high-quality stocks like Ziweixing, Black Rock Capital will definitely not miss it. Buffett won't invest in technology stocks. That's because Buffett manages too few assets. If he only buys some bank stocks and shares of traditional companies, he will basically spend all his money.

Blackrock Capital is different.

There is too much money and no track can be missed. There were too few investment projects and the money could not be spent at all. There were too many investment projects to buy trillions of dollars in U.S. treasury bonds.

You know, there is always an argument in China that "the United States owes us trillions of dollars." In fact, this is a misunderstanding and an investment choice made by the National Asset Management Bureau.

If you don’t have asset management capabilities like Black Rock Capital, then buying U.S. bonds is the simplest and safest investment behavior. However, with the foreign exchange accumulated over decades of domestic reform and opening up, such a large country can only purchase about US$5 trillion in national debt.

It shows how rich Black Rock Capital is.

It is completely reasonable that they would buy Ziweixing's shares in a big way.

However, the second decision shocked Zhou Buqi.

Even a little dazed.

Larry Fink said: "The second thing is that Black Rock Capital is launching a new project worth US$20 billion, which may expand to US$30 billion or even US$50 billion in the future. The board of directors has approved it, and there is no cap!"

"So big?" Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "What direction?"

"It has something to do with you."

"I?"

“In order to make this happen, we want to use your name and social influence to sell related products.” Larry Fink’s face lit up when he said these words. “This will be initiated and personally responsible for me. A super project!”

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and immediately became alert, "Me?"

Larry Fink quickly explained and said with a smile: "A good thing, this must be a good thing. This will be a big project that all parties are looking forward to and satisfied with!"
