Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi drank coffee silently.

There was silence for a full five minutes.

Weighing this comprehensively.

First of all, I have to sigh with emotion. This Larry Fink is indeed a powerful figure on Wall Street. The angle of entry for this investment is really accurate!

It’s simply “standing in line” investment.

This is actually very irrational. Normally, one should decide one's position based on right and wrong. One should judge the facts first, then choose sides and decide which projects to invest in.

Right and wrong are factual judgments, which will be more accurate; stance is a value judgment, and different people have different values. Who is right and who is wrong is reasonable, and it is difficult to have a unified understanding.

However, Larry Fink bravely embarked on this path.

First have a position, and then the position determines right and wrong.

First, stand in line with Zhou Buqi. With this stance, the next step will be easier.

The companies he is involved in are all good companies, so he should invest in them; the companies he is not involved in have risks, so he should not invest in them.

Such a value judgment is entirely based on the blind worship of Zhou Buqi personally.

The risk will be great.

Without factual judgment, it is easy to be coerced by implanted thoughts and become Zhou Buqi's marionette. Even if he leads him into the abyss, he may still be waving flags and shouting.

It’s not surprising that there will be great controversy within Black Rock Capital if Larry Fink wants to pursue this project.

However, there are benefits.

If this is done, many expensive data analysts, market analysts, and trend analysts will not need to be hired, and the cost of this large project can be greatly reduced.

At the same time, Zhou Buqi has become the richest man in the world in less than ten years, and has also built a huge industry all over the world. He has become the most profitable person in the world.

Famous, prestigious, influential, and credible.

"Make money with the world's richest man Zhou Buqi", as long as this sign is put out, it can quickly attract the interest of countless investors, and then hand over their money one after another.

Black Rock Capital can quickly get this project off the ground.

The most important thing is that no one else has done such a project.

Although the initial scale of the project that Larry Fink wants to do is only US$20 billion, it can be said to be negligible compared with the trillions of US dollars in assets controlled by Black Rock Capital.

But Zhou Buqi is so famous!

It is easy to cause a flocking effect in society!

Black Rock Capital can use Zhou Buqi's name and reputation to lead the entire Wall Street with a strong stance.

For Zhou Buqi, the benefits are also great.

He and Black Rock Capital are not the same family.

In other words, it has become a close partner with Black Rock Capital. With Black Rock Capital participating in the investment of some projects, there will be no doubts about related transactions.

For example, when he wanted to cooperate with Masayoshi Son to acquire the British semiconductor company ARM, this case encountered great resistance.

Even though the UK has the most open market in the world, ARM is the trump card in the mobile chip field and has the ability to influence the global mobile phone chip trend.

This is not as easy as starting an Internet company, buying a sports team, opening a game company, or playing a movie. This is real hard-core technology.

For the UK, ARM must be in the hands of "its own people".

Masayoshi Son is an American and one of their own to them.

It will be difficult for Zhou Buqi to pass regulatory review without changing his nationality. Even if he has money, the British will not dare to ask for it easily. There may be national security risks here.

If you cooperate with Black Rock Capital, you can circumvent this restriction.

For example, Black Rock Capital established a private equity fund, and then Zhou Buqi purchased the fund. After Black Rock Capital relied on this private placement to raise money, it went to acquire ARM with Son Zhengyi in the name of Black Rock Capital in the United States.

When his thoughts reached this point, Zhou Buqi quickly shook his head.

Thinking of the branch line again!

Now it is time to consider the main event of Black Rock Capital using its own name to engage in this investment project.

Um……

If you want to stop them, it seems you can't.

Black Rock Capital actually doesn't need to report to Zhou Buqi what kind of investment projects they want to make. If they want to invest in a "Zhou Buqi-related" company, they can just invest directly. Zhou Buqi can't stop people's freedom of investment at all. .

With this idea, everything will be easily solved.

The current situation, for Zhou Buqi, is whether he accepts it or not. There is nothing illegal or illegal about what Larry Fink wants to do. Only the board of directors of Black Rock Capital can stop him. No one can hinder his freedom of investment.

Since you can't change it, of course you have to accept it.

And we must actively strive for the most favorable conditions.

This time Larry Fink came over on his own initiative, probably with the same meaning. If the two parties can reach a unified understanding, carry out certain cooperation, and maintain a friendly relationship, then they can cooperate smoothly in the future.

One is the person who manages the most wealth in the world, and the other is the person who owns the most wealth in the world. Neither one wants to offend anyone.

After thinking about this, Zhou Buqi put down his coffee cup and praised with a smile: "Larry, you have really found the best investment project!"

Larry Fink breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I think so too. Many people think that my choice is too crazy, but Black Rock Capital is able to get to where it is today because I can always provide follow-up advice." Investments that are different from traditional investment concepts.”

"Huh?" Zhou Buqi felt like he had met a confidant, and his eyes lit up, "Many of the business decisions I make are always based on this principle."

Larry Fink laughed and said: "Isn't this the traditional culture of your country? 'Opposition is the driving force for progress.'"

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled and didn't quite understand.

Larry Fink was very confused and said: "It's not an ancient language in your country. I have been studying it for a long time. Many of my Chinese friends have confirmed this, saying that it is well-known in your country and represents a genre. ."

The two spoke English.

There are some communication barriers.

Zhou Buqi didn't react for a moment and asked, "Which book is it?"

Larry Fink said: "The Book of Changes."

Zhou Buqi understood now, thought about it for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Oh, I understand. 'The opposite is the movement of the Tao.' This is what you should be talking about."

The two then had a series of discussions on the counterculture of the I Ching.

A full thirty minutes were wasted.

However, it would not be a waste.

This kind of small talk is mainly to reach a consensus on understanding between the two parties, and can quickly establish a friendly relationship.

Larry Fink said: "I was originally a trader at Blackstone Capital, but later it was really inconsistent with their investment philosophy. I became the biggest opponent in Blackstone Capital. Later I quit and started a new company with new ideas. Blackrock Capital."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "If you invest in me, Black Rock Capital will reach a higher level, with assets exceeding US$10 trillion, which is just around the corner."

Larry Fink said happily: "So, you agree?"

Zhou Buqi feels helpless. Is it useful to say I don’t agree? I can only change from passive to active and say calmly: "I have three requirements for this investment project you initiated."

"good."

Larry Fink agreed immediately, fearing that the other party would not negotiate terms.

If you want to invest in a company of the "Zhou Buqi family", you can of course invest without Zhou Buqi's permission. However, this investment is troublesome, and the scale of investment is difficult to achieve real effects.

Just like investing in Ziweixing Global.

You can't go to the secondary market to buy stocks in large quantities, right? Then why not raise the stock price to the sky? And there are too few stocks available for purchase.

The best strategy is to buy in the primary market, reach a cooperation with Zhou Buqi, let boss Zhou negotiate a peace, and then buy large sums of money from other shareholders through agreement.

Zhou Buqi said: "First, this project initiated by Black Rock Capital, whether it is a private equity fund or a public equity fund, has nothing to do with me. I cannot endorse the profit or loss, and you cannot get any authorization from me."

"Of course!" Larry Fink agreed without hesitation, "Of course this project has nothing to do with you. If there is a loss in the future, it will also be Black Rock Capital's responsibility and will not have any personal impact on you."

Zhou Buqi continued: "Second, when you are operating this project, you cannot use my name...I mean, you cannot use my portrait rights, and you cannot give investors any hint that they have anything to do with me. . This is a project of Black Rock Capital, you can’t use my appeal to attract investment.”

Larry Fink nodded, "My team can control this scale. After the project is launched, you can always pay attention. If you are not satisfied with the marketing method, you can give feedback immediately and I will ask them to modify it immediately. ."

This was originally a project to invest in "Zhou Buqi".

It is impossible to completely escape his influence and appeal to the market.

It just depends on whether you can grasp a good standard.

In fact, in the final analysis, the investors who invested in this project cannot be misled, as if Zhou Buqi himself attracted their investment... In fact, Black Rock Capital is doing this project in the name of Zhou Buqi.

Zhou Buqi didn't want to take any responsibility for their project. This matter had nothing to do with him.

If you suffer a loss, please go to Black Rock Capital.

It has nothing to do with him!

Not every one of these "Zhou Buqi" companies can make money, and not every one of them can survive in the long term. For example, Taizun Real Estate, which Shi's father-in-law is working on, is already looking for a solution to exit.

Zhou Buqi continued: "Third point, after this project is successfully launched, I hope that I can fully communicate with you. When investing in some companies, you should invest within the limits agreed by me. If it is an unlisted company , I hope your voting rights should be handed over to me."

"No problem, it should be!"

Larry Fink laughed and agreed.
