Chapter 2140 Surrender is not that easy

Author: Wilderness Elegy

The next morning, Zhou Buqi went to see the father-in-law of the Shi family... Wow! This office was newly renovated, and it was really grand. There were porcelain vases, ornaments, green plants, and a calligraphy that read "The best is like water" hung on the wall.

, signed by Shi Jinglin.

Shi Jinglin is a talented woman, proficient in calligraphy and painting, and can play several musical instruments, including the piano and pipa, as well as the flute and flute. She said it all herself, and she has never performed in public. She only performed for Zhou Buqi in private.

He is indeed very talented at playing the flute.

After meeting, the father-in-law and son-in-law congratulated each other.

The father-in-law congratulated his son-in-law on the fact that Shi Jinglin is pregnant. The son-in-law congratulated his father-in-law on the fact that his newly married young lady is also pregnant. She is just 3 months old now, and she was pregnant at about the same time as Shi Jinglin.

This made Zhou Buqi sigh with emotion, this old father-in-law was really strong.

It is estimated that the pride of "having a son at an old age" has made him more ambitious in his career, hoping to enhance the goodwill of Taizun Real Estate through football, so as to obtain more loans.

Zhou Buqi was optimistic about this idea, but he was reluctant, "Do you really want to go all-out in football?"

Old father-in-law Shi Guotai was full of energy, "The situation of the Chinese Super League is very good now. The fans are very enthusiastic and have a great influence. It is conducive to improving the good image of the company and the public's goodwill."

The so-called goodwill is the premium of part of the intangible assets.

For example, if someone else spends 200 yuan to buy something worth 100 yuan, the extra 100 yuan is the value of intangible goodwill.

Increasing goodwill is equivalent to increasing the assets of the company.

The more assets you have, the more loans you can get.

Zhou Buqi pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Old father-in-law, do you think you are an expert in the real estate field?"

Shi Guotai laughed and said, "That's right."

Zhou Buqi asked: "How does it compare with Vanke and Wanda?"

Shi Guotai couldn't be proud anymore, "It's still a bit worse. However, Evergrande has gained great momentum in recent years and is following the football route. It won the Chinese Super League last year and its brand awareness has greatly increased. I heard some time ago

Well, Evergrande has received more than 12 billion Hong Kong dollars from Hong Kong businessmen. The next development will only get faster and faster."

Zhou Buqi then asked: "How do you compare with Li Chaoren?"

Shi Guotai shook his head, "Then it's even more incomparable."

Zhou Buqi said: "Vanke is transforming and is moving towards the rental market. Not to mention Wanda, Mr. Wang and I met in Los Angeles last week. He is going to acquire the AMC theater chain in Hollywood. He wants to

It has transformed into the culture and entertainment industry."

Shi Guotai heard what he meant and frowned, "Are you not optimistic about real estate?"

Zhou Buqi said: "No matter how strong macroeconomic control is, it can't stop the power of the market. Central banks around the world can't stop the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis if they join forces."

Shi Guotai asked: "Didn't you say that real estate can continue to be prosperous for several more years?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, as long as you haven't forgotten it. When many people succeed, they will always be dazzled by the victory and ignore it when their heads are hot. The most important thing about Li Chaoren's business experience is not to

Earn the last copper."

Shi Guotai said: "The current real estate situation is good."

Zhou Buqi nodded and said nothing more, "If you want to play football well, you have to spend money."

Shi Guotai said proudly: "Last year, we invested 30 million and ranked sixth in the league. This year's goal is to top three in the league and enter the AFC Champions League. Within three years, we will win the Chinese Super League championship; within five years, we will win the AFC Champions League championship."

.”

Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, Zhou Buqi didn't have much to say. Taizun Real Estate was not his company, so the most he could do was give some suggestions.

Especially after the father-in-law of the Shi family got married, his energy and fighting spirit were obviously different. Coupled with the success of Tai Zun Real Estate, the market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars was somewhat erratic.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "You want to take advantage of football to promote the development of the real estate business. This is a good direction. Now is the rising period, and I am afraid that I will not be able to decisively exit. Anyway, I have thought about it. I will wait until next year."

Once the ban on Zun Real Estate's shares is lifted, cash will slowly come out."

He holds 25% of Taizun Real Estate's shares, more than 300 million shares.

It is almost impossible to cash out all the money from the secondary market. Anyway, you can sell as much as you can and sell when you have the opportunity. Especially in the big bull market three years later, it will be a good opportunity for many companies to cash out, including Huayi.

.

Shi Guotai waved his hand and said indifferently, "Then it's settled? Let's start with football?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Okay, you can take charge of the Demon City Tai Zun team. If you want to achieve good results, you still need to have a few foreign players who are strong enough."

Shi Guotai slapped his thigh, "That's what I'm talking about! You know football, what do you think we should do?"

Zhou Buqi actually has no interest in this at all. In his opinion, the Modu Taizun team can maintain normal operations and is almost in the middle of the league.

The father-in-law of the Shi family had to play big.

That would inevitably lead to a lot of trouble.

Zhou Buqi simply told him some ideas, "It's nothing more than spending money and bringing in high-level foreign teachers and foreign aid from abroad. The most important thing here is the language barrier. If you want me to read it, just look for Portuguese."

That’s it. Brazil and Portugal are the two main countries. They all speak Portuguese, so at least the coaching team and foreign players can communicate smoothly.”

Shi Guotai nodded, "Well, that makes sense."

Zhou Buqi said: "Aren't there only three foreign players? Go to Brazil to find them, and the price can be cheaper. A center who can score goals, a winger who can break through, and a team brain who sits in the midfield. This is

Enough is enough. The coaching team is selected from Portugal. The coaching team must have power over football. The Portuguese are more disciplined than the Brazilians."

Shi Guotai said tentatively: "Will you help me choose?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Then let Rangnick run it. He is a football consultant."

…

In the afternoon, Zhou Buqi planned to return to Beijing.

On the plane, he heard two pieces of news.

First, Yahoo officially announced that Yang Zhiyuan left the board of directors and resigned from all positions at Yahoo. On that day, the market gave very positive feedback, and Yahoo's stock price rose by 5%.

Second, the U.S. regulatory agencies have approved the tripartite transaction between Google, Motorola and Asda. This approval means that Motorola’s mobile phone business will 100% belong to Asda. Next, the EU and

Domestic approval is a one-step process.

For Asda, a very cruel point is about to come.

There are going to be massive layoffs!

According to a report previously submitted by Zhou Shaoning, Motorola’s mobile phone business has 12,000 global employees and 94 offices around the world.

It's really too bloated.

Zhou Shaoning is also very ruthless and is expected to lay off 4,000 people!

Among them, China is the core area of ​​Motorola, with a large number of employees. The preliminary plan is to lay off 1,000 people. Fortunately, Motorola has better resources, and Asda is not interested in it. There are also many domestic mobile phone peers who are jealous.

Then just transfer it half-sold and half-given to domestic counterparts.

The scale of domestic layoffs can be reduced to about 150 people.

Overseas, 3,000 people are to be laid off, and the budget for layoffs alone has reached 200 million U.S. dollars. There are a lot of problems. There may even be trouble in local labor unions.

Zhou Buqi feels a little irritable.

Why should you pay attention to these nonsense?

Let Zhou Shaoning do it himself!

Do whatever you want, whatever you love.

Zhou Buqi plans to further delegate power and pay less attention to Asda in the future. He even bought Motorola and was led in by the master. The rest of his practice is up to Zhou Shaoning himself.

Ning Lu was reading the email next to her, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "There's one more thing, it's good news."

Zhou Buqi asked: "What's the good news?"

Ning Lu said: "EA has withdrawn its offer to Codemasters Studio, and Changyou has reached a deal with the other party. EA has given up, and we have won!"

"Won?" Zhou Buqi remained unmoved, "How much did it cost?"

Ning Lu whispered: "283 million pounds."

"snort!"

Zhou Buqi didn't feel the joy of victory at all.

The market value of Codemasters is only 155 million pounds. Originally, Changyou had negotiated to complete the overall acquisition of this game studio for 185 million pounds.

As a result, EA stepped in and caused trouble.

Changyou had to bid higher, and finally completed the transaction at a price of 283 million pounds.

EA's operation is simply harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself!

Seriously damaged Changyou's interests.

Backing off?

Give in?

snort!

It’s not that easy to surrender!
