Although there is bad news in the financial market from time to time, Zhou Shi doesn't care at all, mainly because their strength is limited and they can't participate in many things. So they are not greedy, they have their eyes on the target, they have their eyes on Lehman, and the others do not care. As for shorting the United States, it is just a money-making act that knows the result.

After arranging the follow-up actions, Zhou Shiwei was busy with his own affairs. The Marvel superhero movie has not yet been released, but under the financial crisis, Marvel's market value has also fallen to about $1 billion, and many people can't hold on and need to cash out this part of the assets to save themselves. It is a new rich man like Zhou Shi who has this strength, and in the end, about 5% of the equity will fall into his hands, and he announced that he would acquire no less than $100 million of Marvel shares in the secondary market within half a year since his market value fell to $1.2 billion, and he didn't know how much he would gain in the end. However, when Zhou Shi was almost sure to buy five percent of the shares in the hands of the original shareholders, the chairman of Marvel, who admired him very much, had a lot of opinions.

"Marvel is Zhou Shi's next entrepreneurial target?" many media have speculated.

And Zhou Shi also built momentum for "The Incredible Hulk" at this time, and began to promote the Marvel Universe plan in the media, and The Incredible Hulk is the pioneering work of the Marvel Universe.

Especially when everyone knows that Zhou Shi has almost always stayed in Marvel Studios, planning and discussing the details of the Marvel universe with Kevin Feige and Stan Lee, and has received unanimous praise from Marvel insiders, there are more and more rumors about Zhou Shi going to take charge of Marvel.

"Simon, you don't need to be in such a hurry, since we have chosen you, Marvel will be in your hands sooner or later. Isaac Palmat said with a kind face.

Zhou Shi looked at this kind old man, and seemed to feel that he was a little anxious. Regardless, he didn't want to contradict Palmart.

"I'm sorry, but I'm very optimistic about the future of Marvel, and I appreciate everyone's genius ideas. I think the Marvel Universe will become a cultural feast for the whole world in our hands, so I think the stock price is too low right now, and I can't help but want to buy some of it, and in a year or two, our stock price will probably double. "Zhou Shi

"The idea is good, but in my years of experience, there is likely to be a big financial crisis in the United States, when cash is king, and if the crisis is at home and we don't have enough cash, it is likely to be taken advantage of by others. "Isaac Palmart

After listening to what Palmat said, Zhou Shi found that this was also a wise old man, and what he said was reasonable. Businesses that don't have cash in a financial crisis are not much different from lambs to the slaughter. It's good that you're not being targeted, but if you're targeted, you have to take off a layer of skin if you don't die. But doesn't Isaac Palmat know about his relationship with Galaxy Capital Lu He, or does he think that Galaxy Capital will also lose a lot in this financial crisis?

"Well, I'll take notice. Zhou Shi replied honestly and respectfully. Or don't think about the world too darkly, no matter what Palmat thinks, Zhou Shi, who has absolute capital, is not worried about any accidents. However, he still slowed down the absorption of Marvel stocks, because with the rumors that Zhou Shi was going to join Marvel, his stock price began to climb again. Zhou Shi didn't know if these people's speculation was right or not, whether the improved version of "The Incredible Hulk" could support the current market value, he didn't want to compete with these people anyway.

In order to clear up the rumors in the market, Zhou Shi also gave an interview to the Wall Street Journal.

"Simon, I heard that you're going to join Marvel, are you going to change careers to make movies?"

"No, Kevin did a great job, I wasn't going to take his job. Zhou Shi replied with a smile.

"Do you want to steal Isaac Palmart's place and make him unemployed? ”

"No, Isaac loves Marvel so much, if I rob him of his baby, maybe he will find me and die together, and I want to live a few more years......" Zhou Shi ......

"You gave up on Marvel because you were afraid of Isaac?"

"Do you really understand that? Or do you want to stir up our relationship? I didn't give up on Marvel, and promised that if Marvel's market value was less than $1.5 billion, I would buy no less than $100 million in shares in the secondary market. I really think that with the leadership of the existing team, Marvel will go to glory. "Zhou Shi

"But everyone thinks you're going to choose Marvel as your new entrepreneurial goal, why did you give up?" the reporter asked relentlessly

"I had the idea of starting a business, but my goal was the Internet. I really don't know what everyone thinks, how could I choose to start a business in the entertainment industry?"

"So, you now have a new direction for your business?"

"You can say yes, you can say no, I haven't made up my mind yet. "Zhou Shi

"Can you tell us about your new business idea?"

"No, I don't want to create too many competitors for myself. "Zhou Shi

"Are you afraid of competition? Is that why you sold YouTube, people think that YouTube could be the next giant of the Internet, and it's a shame that you sold it to Bezos, maybe you could have been the next Bill Gai. ”

MMP, it's a pity that you still have a look of schadenfreude. Zhou Shi was no longer interested in chatting with this biased reporter, and after a few casual words, he ended this exclusive interview.

A few days later, Zhou's interview was published in the Wall Street Journal, and Marvel's stock began to fall slowly. Zhou Shi also began to continue to slowly absorb chips, and he had to buy $100 million in stocks as promised.

However, news of Zhou Shi's re-entrepreneurship has also spread in Silicon Valley, and his next direction has also been widely discussed on social media. Even Larry Page and others are quite curious and want to invest in shares. Then the news spread to China, and more and more people inquired about Zhou Shi, which made Zhou Shi annoyed.

TMD, the subprime mortgage crisis is not over yet, how can Lao Tzu have time to start a business? Zhou Shi complained while trying to find a way to deal with the aftermath. Next time you make an excuse to shirk, you must find a better excuse. It's hard to ride a tiger now, and if he doesn't act for a long time, maybe Zhou Shi will lose the trust of the public.

But starting a business is not just a matter of words. The era of mobile Internet has just begun, and the app markets of Apple and Google have not yet been launched. As for other directions, there doesn't seem to be much future, and even the sharing economy, which was popular in the previous life, also needs to use the mobile Internet.

Sharing economy, sharing economy...... Zhou Shi muttered to himself, is this his direction?
