Top of the big era

After a few days, the enthusiasm for Ziweixing's listing began to dissipate, but the stock price did not fall back. Together with the general situation of the entire IT stocks, they were holding hands and climbing the hill happily.

If you go up, so will I, and we all go up together.

This has allowed Ziweixing’s market value to stand firmly at US$190 billion, making it the undisputed domestic listed company with the highest market value. But for Zhou Buqi, whose wealth has skyrocketed, not only has the tension on his hands not eased, but it has become even more difficult, and he can only continue to borrow money to live.

Recently, he has four projects that cost a lot of money.

1. Tinghua Entertainment was established with an investment of US$200 million, accounting for 25% of the shares;

Second, acquire 70% of the shares of the San Francisco 49ers for US$1.2 billion. In addition, it will lend the team US$300 million without interest to help the team recruit and improve its business operations, with a total investment of US$1.5 billion;

3. Purchased a new luxury apartment property in New York, buying the 8 top floors in one go, with a transaction price of US$360 million;

Fourth, antique business.

This is the most expensive business.

An agreement has been reached with the down-and-out family, and the transaction price is US$2.68 billion.

Among them, there are 8,256 pieces from domestic collections and 2,293 pieces from foreign collections, mainly European oil paintings. Oil painting has been popular in Europe for hundreds of years and is almost the most popular art form. Countless painters have been born and various art schools have emerged... Of course, millions of paintings have been left behind.

The vast majority of oil paintings, even if they are antiques from 200 years ago, may not be worth much, which is tens of thousands of dollars. Unless it is the kind of work by a famous painter that has been passed down in an orderly manner, it is priceless.

The total price of these more than 2,000 foreign collections is US$580 million. In other words, the 8,256 collections that flowed out of China were consumed at a price of US$2.1 billion.

Wu Yu was obviously the most excited. At the internal family meeting, he kept talking: "There are a total of 8,256 domestic collections. I have asked experts to count and classify them. There are a total of 3,252 unearthed antiques."

99.99% of the things unearthed are artifacts from the underworld.

Some people didn't care, but for the prosperous Zhou family, it was a bit taboo. According to the previous plan, all these unearthed cultural relics were donated back to the country.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Contact the National Expo or Shanghai Expo or something."

Wu Yu said softly: "If these more than 3,000 cultural relics are put up for auction one by one in the market, and the market is hyped up, they might be able to fetch 2 billion US dollars!"

"What should we do?" Zhou Buqi looked a little funny, "Don't donate?"

Wu Yu said: "Even if you donate, you still have to be famous."

"What kind of fame?"

"There should be an independent exhibition hall, or simply an independent exhibition building. So many precious cultural relics have both cultural research value and ornamental value. What I mean is to cooperate with the blog and we will pay them Build an independent exhibition building and call it the 'Zhou Buqi Museum' to display our donations."

Wu Yu's proposal attracted the approval of Zhen Yu, Bao Shan, Ning Yaxian, Aunt Xue and Sun Wanran.

This is a small meeting.

Except for Zhou Buqi, there were only six of them present, and it could be said that they all agreed.

Ning Yaxian said solemnly: "It should be like this. You can't just send back all the cultural relics of such high value without mentioning them. If you don't write a book and write a biography, you have to set up a stele and inscription. There is a dedicated The exhibition building can be a museum affiliated with Shanghai Expo, so that it can have a sustainable effect."

Xue Baoshan said softly: "You should still buy antiques in the future, right? If you buy a ghost artifact, will you donate it? I think it should be like this. We can establish a long-term cooperation with Shangbo. All donated cultural relics in the future will be placed here." In the Zhou Buqi Museum, there is no need to keep in touch with all parties."

"Yes, that's how it should be!" Sun Wanran said simply, "Build a building, erect a monument, and write down all your great achievements. Don't make a donation once, and then everyone will accuse you of being a capitalist who doesn't give up anything. Yes. A unique museum with donations, do more publicity from time to time to let people across the country know your dedication.”

Zhou Buqi thinks this idea is good.

In recent years, many Chinese collectors abroad want to donate their collections back to China, but there are no channels. Even if there are channels, they are full of worries.

Not to mention that the treasures they had collected all their lives, after being donated, became the personal belongings of some people, and were even resold by some people.

Similar things happen from time to time, and the impact is too bad.

Many collectors are very wary of this.

If it is donated to a foreign museum, it can be preserved for hundreds or thousands of years at least. This is a cultural heritage belonging to all mankind. But when it comes to China, it’s a little bit uncertain.

Many people spend their entire lives purchasing cultural relics, treating them as life, hoping that these collections can replace them and live forever instead of being resold, damaged or even smashed.

If Zhou Buqi makes a start, set an example.

It can put a lot of people at ease.

More cultural relics and antiques lost overseas will return to China.

Aunt Xue asked strangely: "Since you want to build a museum yourself, why not make it a private museum?"

"Private? Whether private or not, in the end, it doesn't all belong to the country?" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "If it is in a private name, how can it be shown that we are donating? Just do it in one step and donate directly to the country. I think this is good. Donate to the country and be affiliated with Shanghai Bo... Well, the management power is best in our hands. Their group of people are all relying on finance, and there are countless valuables in this country stored in the treasury. It’s something of value, but it doesn’t create any value, and it has to rely on subsidies to survive. I’m going to give them a try and teach them how to build a museum!”

Aunt Xue rolled her eyes at him, "You can do whatever you want!"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "It's not that difficult. Now that the Internet is so developed, if you have content, are you afraid that you won't be able to create wealth? Just relying on tickets to survive, how stupid is that? Of course, I'm not talking about China, but the whole country. The world, even the British Museum, is so poor that it has no funds to maintain its inventory."

In fact, the fundamental reason is the contradiction between management rights and ownership rights.

All self-sufficient museums in the world are, without exception, private museums. The British Museum is the best and richest museum in the world, but it is a national museum.

So much so that the UK can no longer afford to support this museum. The collections in the warehouse are frequently reported to be moldy or soaked in water, which is simply a sin.

There is a private museum in China called "Guanfu". The quality of the collection is relatively low, but this is a private museum. In order to maintain the daily operation of the museum, the owner really goes out of his way to promote it.

No national museum with half his spirit would spend a penny of taxpayers' money.

Sun Wanran blinked, "Where are the remaining 5,000 pieces?"

Wu Yu immediately became alert and said loudly: "That's mine! I won't donate it, and no one is allowed to steal it from me!"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Well, it's yours, but the key now is... there is no money!"

"ah?"

Wu Yu was a little dumbfounded.

Zhou Buqi said: "Our small meeting is not to discuss what to do with these antiques and cultural relics in your hands, but the financial crisis at home. Now I have four projects to do, with a total investment of 4.74 billion US dollars, but we The family’s current account only has…”

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and said with a chuckle: "Don't believe him, everyone. The family is a bit tight financially, but it is not a financial crisis at all. This time, Ziweixing's listing brought in 2.8 billion US dollars, including the previous 400 million that could be liquid. U.S. dollars, about 3.2 billion U.S. dollars, and there is still a gap of more than one billion U.S. dollars."

When talking about money, Aunt Xue became very nervous and said worriedly: "There are so many, what should I do? How about everyone pool their money together to see how much is missing... If it doesn't work, just buy less, and there is no need to donate so much." many……"

Zhou Buqi laughed.

Zhen Yu rolled her eyes at him and said softly: "There are two options now. One is to pledge the stocks. Ziweixing is listed and has a good momentum. If you go to a financial institution to pledge, you can get more discounts, which is better than Ziweixing Global's stocks. .”

"What's the interest rate for Purple Star Global's stock pledge?"

"9.2%, with a loan of US$1 billion, the annual interest is nearly US$100 million."

"Where's Ziweixing?"

"It should be possible to achieve less than 8%."

"Well, that does require some financial handling."

Zhou Buqi nodded.

It is necessary to pledge some shares of Ziweixing, and after receiving the money, redeem the shares of Ziweixing Global, and switch to a lower interest rate when reselling.

Zhen Yu said easily: "As for the current financial tightness, I think there is no need to rush to use financial leverage. You can talk to them first and postpone the payment. The share acquisition of the San Francisco 49ers, as well as these cultural relics, antiques and art, can be divided into Three batches of repayments. One payment this year, one payment next year, and another payment the year after that. It will be easier for us to deal with it. Now the technology stocks are rising so well, by the end of the year... Our Pluto Capital and Neptune Capital, the income dividends received are likely to exceed US$2 billion.”

"so much?"

Hearing this, Aunt Xue's heart suddenly relaxed.

Wu Yu's beautiful eyes were shining.

Ning Yaxian, Xue Baoshan and Sun Wanran also showed smiles and felt much more at ease.

This is right!

This is what the family of the world's richest man should look like.

Seeing that everyone was happy, Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Did you hear that? Are you relieved now? I've said it before, don't worry about money. If you don't believe me, you must believe what Senior Sister Zhen Yu says. Are you okay? You're all happy, don't worry about money every day. Especially your Aunt Xue, I know you care about me, but there's no need to worry too much, you still don't know what my level is? "

Aunt Xue laughed.

Well, I know very well what level you are!

After a few words, Baoshan gave up.

Last night, Zhou Buqi came back dejectedly and told her that he had been coaxed by Baoshan's words, and he admitted in a daze that he had the idea of ​​taking advantage of Aunt Xue and Baoshan, and even wanted to take action.

After Aunt Xue heard this, she was immediately struck with thunder, and she was so angry that she wanted to kick this idiot to death!

Until now, she didn't know how to face her daughter.
