The next day, Zhou Buqi was going to meet with the big guys in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to talk about investment.

Now, it is not Zhou Buqi who is anxious, but the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Due to the economic crisis, stock prices around the world are plummeting, so Abu Dhabi's sovereign fund withdrew approximately US$80 billion and began extensive bargain hunting.

The local tycoons showed up in person.

But they don't know how to invest, and they don't dare to take too many risks. When they are bargain hunting, the stocks they buy are bank stocks. The current price of bank stocks is extremely low, and the bank's business is free of capital and profit, and it is guaranteed to make a profit without losing money. There is another point.

, even Buffett has publicly said that now is a good opportunity to buy bank stocks at the bottom, and he is also buying bank stocks in a big way.

This triggered extreme dissatisfaction in the United States.

If they all buy U.S. bank stocks and withdraw their money and spread it all over the world, how can the U.S. economy recover? Then start messing with them.

The reason is that the operation of their sovereign wealth funds is not transparent. They have joined forces with the International Monetary Fund to formulate new rules of the game for sovereign wealth funds to improve their transparency and governance. This guidance is called the "Santiago Principles" and consists of more than 20 items.

Composed of "generally accepted principles and practices", setting out objectives in the areas of information disclosure, investment motivations, corporate governance and risk management...

To put it simply, under this rule, the sovereign funds of the Middle East tycoons will be subject to strict inspections and strict restrictions when investing, and they cannot easily acquire global assets. If you want to invest, you can't!

Unless you come to the United States!

In this general situation, a clown appeared - Low Taek Jho.

This guy is very good at creating a persona, saying that he has a close relationship with so and so, and can get in touch with him, and then he deceives the wealthy people in Abu Dhabi. Then, he takes the money from Abu Dhabi and promotes it all the way. Really

I got in touch with the upper echelons of the United States, and the connection was really successful.

Therefore, Low Taek Jho gained more and more trust from the tycoons in the Middle East, and behind this was the shadow of Goldman Sachs. Later, after the incident, Abu Dhabi was furious and, together with the Malaysian sovereign fund, sued Goldman Sachs and a group of American tycoons.

How could a stupid guy like Low Taek Jho fool everyone into a fool? Isn’t it because he has the endorsement of someone more authoritative?

There's no point in filing a lawsuit. Goldman Sachs is best at playing tricks like this.

When dealing with individuals, you must try your best to please. Goldman Sachs has close relations with entrepreneurs and capitalists around the world, and they cooperate happily. They would rather suffer losses than make their customers angry.

When dealing with those in power who don't even know how to help the people of the country manage their wealth, they are just killing people without blood and trapping them to death one after another. Not to mention the wealthy people in the Middle East, even the U.S. Treasury Department wants to trap them.

Now, with the emergence of Zhou Buqi, it seems that there is no need for brokers and political speculators like Jho Low to appear under the tide of the times.

Compared with Jho Low, a speculator who talks nonsense and makes promises, Zhou Buqi is a real man of action. He really wants to invest in private equity funds in the high-tech field.

With Boss Zhou's wealth, he doesn't even bother to do that kind of deception.

The pattern has been formed, with Zhou Buqi on the left, Goldman Sachs in the middle, and Abu Dhabi Sovereign Fund on the right. A very formal round of cooperation is about to begin.

Early that morning, Zhou Buqi received a notification from Goldman Sachs, saying that the special envoy of the King of the United Arab Emirates had arrived and the meeting would be held at 3 p.m.

It was still early, so Zhou Buqi wanted to talk to Zhu Jun.

Through Santoku, he had found out clearly the Glazer family's expected price for Manchester United, and the subsequent negotiations would be much easier.

"Sister Linlin is back!"

"ah?"

In the study room, Zhou Buqi heard Xue Baoshan's reminder and pricked up his ears. Sure enough, he heard chirping sounds coming from outside. He was coming back after having enough fun in Milan.

When I walked out of the study, I saw Shi Jinglin, Feng Muer, Jiang Bingjie and several other girls. Their little faces were rosy and they were talking with great interest.

"Are you so happy?" Zhou Buqi looked around, a little surprised, "Huh? Aren't you going shopping? Didn't you buy anything?"

Feng Muer, Yang Mi and Jiang Bingjie were all embarrassed.

Shi Jinglin rolled her eyes at him, "How is that possible?"

Zhou Buqi asked: "Where are the things?"

Shi Jinglin said weakly: "There are too many to move, so we put them all on the plane. Then we can just transport them back to China. It cost a total of 560,000 euros."

Zhou Buqi laughed, "Just buy it if you like it. Is there anything more important than happiness?"

Then he walked to the sofa, sat next to Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan, and kissed them on both sides.

Jiang Bingjie whispered: "Godfather, we saw the king at the airport."

"king?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Jiang Bingjie made a few exaggerated gestures, "It's the kind of person... wearing pajamas and covered with a pillow towel... he has such a strong aura that we don't even dare to get close."

Zhou Buqi blinked and looked at Shi Jinglin, "From the Middle East?"

Shi Jinglin nodded slightly, "Well, there is spray paint on the plane. He is a rich man from Abu Dhabi."

Zhou Buqi was a little amused, "That should be the person I'm going to meet in the afternoon. It's a coincidence that you guys bumped into him."

Shi Jinglin sighed: "You don't know if you don't compare. Only by comparing can you know the difference."

"What's going on?"

"You bought a private jet. I thought it was great, and I'm quite proud of you. This time I saw the plane of the prince of the Middle East, and I realized that there is a world out there. His car is a Boeing 747. The two planes are placed together.

Our plane is like a toy. If someone sprays some air, it will fly away."

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "As for that!"

Shi Jinglin hummed: "What do you think? Go and see for yourself! When they got off the plane, we were too embarrassed to follow them. When they got off the Boeing 747, their aura was much greater than ours, and they were very intimidating."

Zhou Buqi gritted his teeth, "Fuck! Just wait! I'll buy a big plane too!"

Having said that, it is very unrealistic to buy a Boeing 747 as a special plane.

It's not about the money, it's about the airport.

There are no private airports in the country. All airports are public, and there are more than 300 of them. When coordinating flights, the airports should focus on civil aviation, and will only plan a small remote area for private jets, and the supporting facilities are far away.

Far inferior to ordinary civil aviation.

Large aircraft like the Boeing 747 cannot be parked here, so they can only borrow resources from civil aviation... This is very troublesome, will disrupt the deployment, is very complicated to coordinate, wastes time, and is extremely inefficient.

It’s similar abroad.

The richest people all over the world like small airplanes. Even though Bill Gates has a fleet of more than a dozen airplanes, including a Boeing 747, the ones he uses most are small airplanes.

There are 10,000 airports in the United States, but most of them are private airports with poor supporting facilities. They can accommodate small aircraft but cannot accommodate Boeing 747s.

For this reason, aircraft such as the Boeing 747 and Airbus 380 are mainly used for civil aviation. No matter how rich the rich are, they will not use them. It is not that they cannot afford to use them, but that they are too laborious to use and the efficiency is too low.

That's what the rich guys from the Middle East, who are so idle and love to show off, like to do this.

Yang Mi snickered and said, "I think those Middle Easterners are so interesting. They wear... what kind of clothes are they? It's like performance art, wearing hemp and mourning."

Zhou Buqi glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yang Mi said "Oh".

Zhou Buqi snorted coldly: "You think this is ironic? That's their traditional clothing, and they have been wearing it for thousands of years. What are we wearing now? Men have to wear suits, and women have to wear Western-style skirts. We

I threw away all my ancestors’ belongings and pursued the West every day.

As long as you are not ashamed of your aesthetics, you still want to laugh at those who insist on cultural inheritance? Who is this a satire on? Let alone abroad, at home, do you dare to wear Hanfu and wear clogs to walk on the street? Believe it or not.

If you don’t believe me, I’ll rush up and take off all your clothes?”

Yang Mi pursed her lips, "I just said it casually."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand and lectured: "As a public figure, be careful when you speak. Don't talk about weight in front of fat people, don't talk about appearance in front of ugly people, and don't talk about family in front of people in unhappy marriages. This is the minimum.

respect."

"oh."

"Okay, I went to Milan this time. What did you gain?"

"tired!"

"tired?"

Yang Mi rubbed her waist, "Shopping makes my back and legs hurt. It would be great if there was an e-commerce platform that sells luxury goods and delivers them to your door."

Zhou Buqi thought for a moment, "It should be there, right? Entrepreneurs should have thought of everything you can think of. European intellectual property protection is so strict, it should be there."

Yang Mi was very happy, "Can we go to China? In the future, we can order things online, and then purchase them from Europe and have them delivered to our doorsteps?"

Zhou Buqi glanced at her, a little funny, "With your tone, why do I feel that you want to do this? Are you no longer an actor?"

Yang Mi was a little shy, "Being an actor is also a boss."

"So motivated?"

"I'm pretty good at taking care of people."

Zhou Buqi looked her up and down, "Do you really want to do this? E-commerce? Luxury goods e-commerce?"

Yang Mi didn't care that Shi Jinglin, Xue Baoshan, Sun Wanran, and Feng Mu'er were present here. She stood up lightly and walked over, sat on his lap, hooked his neck, and said in a long and coquettish voice, "You

You are my sponsor dad, you have to help me."

Zhou Buqi said speechlessly: "The most the financial backer of a female star can do is to give her some money to make her famous. Now that I'm here, I have to help you open a company? Do I, the financial backer, deserve to be so aggrieved?"

Yang Mi said with a smile: "We are the same age, and I still want to call you godfather. I feel aggrieved."

Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan didn't think about it that much, they just felt a little embarrassed and their faces turned red.

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "What a grievance you are! How many people are queuing up to get into my bed. I've given you such a good opportunity, and you're so good at it."

"Godfather~~"

Yang Mi made a long note and acted coquettishly.

Zhou Buqi glared at her and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll think about it later."

He likes people who are motivated.

Helping others realize their personal value is also the realization of one's own personal value.
