Chapter 145: Lack of Money?
At the end of September, the crude oil holdings of the Suzaku Fund were emptied, with a profit of 260 million. plus 340 million cash pledged with Baidu's equity. There is more than enough money to be invested in subprime mortgages, and proper leverage is also a must. ABX: Subprime Mortgage Bond Price Composite Index/Subprime Mortgage Derivative Bond Composite Index shorted, and others also bought and sold CDS, CDO, and shorted stocks of other financial and financial real estate institutions such as New Century Financial Corporation. According to the current stock price of New Century Finance of forty or fifty dollars, if it goes bankrupt and the stock price is less than $1, even if it is $3 or $5, how much profit should it be?
Time UC is also preparing to set up a research laboratory in Silicon Valley, mainly for browser development, whether it is a PC, or a mobile browser needs more technical support.
After angrily scolding Mike's agent last time and driving him away, I thought there would be a dispute, but not only did there be no problem, but Mike instead increased his Twitter and YouTube promotion. Fortunately, this agent's brain was not broken, which saved Zhou Shi a lot of heart. What's more, because Zhou Shi and they have received more applications for cooperation from musicians. For example, Zhou Shi found two very powerful female singers. Like Taylor Whister and Reddy Gaga. The two would-be divas, who have not yet begun to become famous, received special attention from Zhou Shi, who gave more support for their songs "Tim McGraw" and "Girls, Girls, Girls", including Twitter promotion.
It's a pity that these two girls are not Zhou Shi's dishes, although they met these two people, but Zhou Shi's talent and resources obviously did not impress the two, and they did not have the opportunity to communicate in depth. And the aesthetics are different, and it is difficult to win glory for the country.
There are many things at home and abroad, and three assistants are not enough, so Zhou Shi asked YouTube to hire an assistant for him, a blonde and blue-eyed beauty, who is responsible for the liaison and communication between Twitter, YouTube and the American friend network.
After coming to the United States, Wang Xirui let go a lot, took the initiative and was enthusiastic, but unfortunately he was busy with his studies a lot, and he didn't have so much time to be ashamed or impatient. Zhou Shi finally found time to get a driver's license. And with the combination of Twitter and YouTube, he has also been invited by many organizations, such as Huayuan Club. Founded in Silicon Valley in 2001, this organization is the largest association of Chinese entrepreneurs in the United States. Its founder, Xie Qing, is one of the founders of NetScreen, which is still a legend. In 1996, Xie Qing dropped out of Stanford and met Deng Feng of Intel and Ke Yan of Cisco, and the three of them founded NetScreen with the idea of a hardware chip firewall. In 2001, NetScreen went public in the context of the "bursting of the Internet bubble", with annual revenues soaring to $138 million. After that, it was acquired by Juniper for a whopping $4 billion. NetScreen's success has raised the prestige of Chinese entrepreneurs in mainland China to unprecedented heights. More young people who are ready to move think: I can definitely do it too.
In 2005, Huayuan invited many mainland entrepreneurs, such as Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu, Ding Lei of NetEase, Robin Li of Baidu, Yang Yuanqing of Lenovo, Wu Ying of UT, and Duan Yongping of BBK...... Jack Ma initially had a conflicting schedule, but then he took the time to fly and stayed for 48 hours. Then there was the story of Yahoo's $1 billion investment in Alibaba.
The chair of this term is Jia Shilian, former senior vice president and CTO of Interwoven. In 2004, he founded Baynote as an enterprise software provider. Zhou Shi didn't know him, he didn't know him, many domestic entrepreneurs have arrived, and this annual meeting was held on September 30 at the Santa Clara Grand Regency Hotel in the center of Silicon Valley, with more than 1,000 people attending. Compared with the previous emphasis on innovation, this annual meeting highlights leadership and juxtaposes the importance of leadership and innovation. After all, if they want Zhou Shi to innovate by himself, they can only be blind, and he has also become the keynote speaker of the annual meeting.
This kind of thing may become more and more in the future, and Zhou Shi is not easy to refuse. The main theme is: socialization, sharing and information equality. It mainly discusses the changes brought by social networks to information fairness and equality, as well as the real equality brought about by information equality.
It was the first time to expound his concept on such an occasion, and Zhou Shi was still a little nervous. It may be that Zhou Shi's statement is really powerful, and there was warm applause at the scene.
Although not every entrepreneur has extraordinary thoughts, Zhou Shi doesn't mind letting everyone think that he has an excellent vision and a vision beyond ordinary people.
Lu He, Li Ying, Lei Jun, Li Yinan, Huang Huainan and others also came over, the company's future development needs more help, and they also need more friends.
chatting with people he didn't know along the way, Zhou Shi handed out a lot of business cards and received a lot of business cards. Everyone is more curious about Zhou Shi, he has achieved great success at a young age, and originally thought that his success was more lucky, this time the communication, although it can't change everyone's opinion, at least many people will have a new understanding of him.
I thought that Ma Ali came last time, but this time it may not come. I didn't expect to see him at the venue.
"If you don't see you for a few days, you keep surprising people, and you are always in the financial headlines, so you can't let me go. "Maali
"If you don't say it earlier, I'll let the headlines out, and just say that without Ali's training, I wouldn't have what I have now" Zhou Shi
"Don't say that, if you say that, I don't know how many gossips there will be"
"What can't be said about this, it's basically the truth. ”
"The kid is still inexperienced, so let's think about it!"
"Why did you come here this time to come here for a meeting?" Zhou Shi didn't say that
"In addition to having a meeting this time, I was entrusted by someone to come to you" Ma Ali
"Who? Can't we get in touch by phone?"
Maali smiled silently.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Shi asked curiously, what can't be notified by phone, and he still needs to run in person, you must know how to say that the current Ma Ali is also the boss of a large Internet giant with assets close to 50 billion, who has this face, is it?
Zhou Shi suddenly looked at Ma Ali with anticipation.
"The China Entrepreneur Club is about to be established in China, and some people hope that you can join it, representing the young generation of entrepreneurs in China" Ma Ali
The China Entrepreneur Club is a platform for entrepreneurs to exchange ideas, cooperate and help each other, and is also the main channel for China's leading companies to carry out extensive international cooperation. And there are a set of criteria for entrepreneurs to join the club. It is roughly divided into two standards: soft and hard: the hard index mainly depends on the size and scale of the enterprise, and the specific one is either its sales or its industry ranking. The sales volume is generally 100 billion, and the industry ranking must be the top three. The soft indicators include that if the entrepreneur is the first generation of entrepreneurs, he must have distinctive management ideas and business philosophy, which are recognized by the industry. The last process is that all 60 club directors participate in the vote, and no one opposes it to agree to join the club, which is equivalent to a comprehensive evaluation of his personality and reputation.
This is a corporate club that Zhou Shi never dreamed of in his previous life, and he didn't expect to be a founding member of him in this life, which is really unexpected! Why me?
"I heard that you are very short of money?" Ma Ali looked at Zhou Shi strangely. Really short of money?
