Analysys International released their report on the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States on July 1, reminding everyone about the changes on the other side of the world. Except for a few people with hearts, there is not much attention.

Zhou Shi also asked the person in charge of Galaxy Capital in China to buy Oriental Fortune in Shanghai, using tens of millions of yuan, which is not expensive at all. By the way, they have strengthened their Internet level and technology collection capabilities, and temporarily come under the umbrella of Galaxy Capital. He had wanted to merge Orient Fortune and Analysys International to provide them with more economic data. It's a pity that Ye Yang disagrees. thought that Zhou Shi was beating his idea.

Well, it should be said that Zhou Shi was indeed beating his idea. He wants to have such a think tank to speak for him and improve his voice in the future. However, the core advantage of such a think tank is talent, and without these talents, Analysys is nothing. Although Zhou Shi needed more of Analysys International's skin, he didn't dare to use too tough means.

Originally, such a research report would not have much impact, and Zhou Shi and Ye Yang also waited for things to become clear a year later before they began large-scale publicity. However, they clearly ignore the role of market competition. A few days later, there was a big discussion on various websites and blogs, post bars, and friend networks, and gradually expanded from industry insiders to financial circles, and then foreign institutions, and by the way, the news also spread to the United States. Soon after, Analysys International's U.S. branch received a number of orders to purchase detailed reports, including John Paulson's fund. Lu He also knew some future opponents and partners from these purchase materials. I don't know if the person in charge of iiMedia Consulting will slap himself hard two years later, Zhou Shi has already praised them anyway.

For such a crisis that is not a crisis, Zhou Shi has no interest, or no time. SoftBank's Sun Zhenyi recommended several candidates to Zhou Shi, and Zhou Shi learned about the professional information of these people, asked the company to do a background check, and communicated with them, almost all of them were accepted. SoftBank's strength is really too powerful, and the talent advantage is unmatched by Zhou Shi. Then in July, Son invited Zhou Shi to meet with RB. A group of more than a dozen people, mainly Sun Zhenyi, introduced those team members, including his two assistants, Bao Qixing and Pei Yuting.

When they arrived at RB, SoftBank's staff quickly helped them with things like company registration and office address. Zhou Shi originally wanted to set up the RB company of Friends.com in Tsukuba City, a city known as RB Silicon Valley and a gathering of scientific and technological elites. But it was dissuaded, and the development over there didn't seem to be very good, although it was claimed that except for the peasants, it was a doctor. However, there are always various problems in government-led places, and Zhou Shi and his family still stayed in Tokyo, where the business culture is more mature. The company proceeded in an orderly manner, and Zhou Shi finally met Sun Zhenyi. There were only the two of them in this meeting.

"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about the development of Friends.com in RB. As soon as Sun Zhenyi met, he dealt a blow to Zhou Shi.

"Then what are you looking for me for?" Zhou Shi was unmoved, he didn't know if he could do it or not

"Both of your companies in the U.S. are excellent, and I'm very bullish on them. "Sun

"Thank you for the compliment, I am also very optimistic about them. Zhou Shi said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I want to buy both of your companies," Son said suddenly

Zhou Shi was still shocked when he suddenly heard some taste of English in his mouth. Damn! The big guy is really domineering, is this sentence true or false? Zhou Shi fell silent.

Sun Zhenyi, who was on the other side, obviously had a good effect on his words, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

Zhou Shi thought about it, but still thought it was impossible. SoftBank has taken a heavy price to buy Vodafone RB, and tens of billions of dollars of debt are not so easy to solve, even China's SoftBank SAIF he gave up to his partners in China. The acquisition of YouTube and Twitter will cost at least a billion dollars combined, and where will SoftBank get the money? Moreover, the full acquisition will depend on Google, and they will not agree to it. Just buying the shares in Zhou Shi's hands is even more unreliable, and it is not good to let him quit. In the eyes of investors, without Zhou Shi's YouTube, I am afraid that the risk will be very great, how can they agree.

"If you really want to buy it, I won't object, but are you busy?" Zhou Shi

"Hahaha~~, I really can't hide it from you, no wonder Ma Ali is so optimistic about you. "Sun Zhenyi

"What is your true intention?" Zhou Shi asked

"I heard that you have not been short of money, I want to ask if you are interested in Ali's shares!"

Poof~~ Zhou Shi really wanted to squirt him to death with a mouthful of salt soda. Such a mysterious and mysterious person actually asked him for money, TMD, can you be more reliable. MMP, I thought he was a rich man, but I didn't expect to ask him for money. Zhou Shi's inner activities suddenly became extremely rich, and he forcibly suppressed the urge to hit someone. In fact, there are signs of everything, SoftBank is really short of money now, and it took $15.5 billion to acquire Vodafone RB, and I am afraid that there is really a problem with liquidity now. Alibaba's future ceiling refers to eBay or Amazon, and there may be several times the market value growth space, but compared with SoftBank's own industry, there is still a difference. One is simply a financial gain, and the other may be the foundation of a century-old foundation. If Zhou Shi is asked to choose between Tengxun and China Mobile, he may also choose China Mobile, which is an industry that guarantees income in drought and flood, and the abundance of cash flow is simply outrageous.

"I'm quite interested, and I also think Ali is a very good company...... "Zhou Shi

"The reason is simple, SoftBank needs money, and other channels are more dangerous. "Sun Zhenyi

"Then what's your offer?" Zhou Shi asked

"With a valuation of $6 billion, the funds will arrive within three months!" Sun Zhenyi.

"How many shares are you going to sell?" Zhou Shi then asked

"Ten percent at most," Sun Zhenyi said simply.

"I can't do this alone. Zhou Shi decided to hold off for a while, although he was very eager for Ali's shares, but it was obviously not a good habit to make a hasty decision. And many problems will be seen by others, such as Zhou Shi's control over Galaxy Capital.

"Okay, but as soon as possible, I'm still negotiating with other companies, and if it's done, I'll have to say sorry this time. "Sun Zhenyi

"I know this, I admire Ali very much, but it's hard to say how to choose in the end" Zhou Shi listened to Sun Zhenyi's untrue words, obviously he wouldn't believe it, he had never heard of SoftBank's sale of Ali's shares in his previous life, so it can be seen that this matter was not negotiated with others in the end. Either others looked down on Ali, or they wanted to take Ali's shares at a low price, and they finally broke up. However, they all found Zhou Shi when they were looking for funds, which shows how eager they are for funds.

Looking back, Zhou Shi also has a more accurate understanding of Ma Ali's recent behavior, Ali's survival problem has been gradually solved, and his views on equity have also increased. It is obviously not a good phenomenon that the vast majority of the equity is concentrated in the hands of a few foreign investors, and if someone balances the board, Maali and his team will be more reassured. Zhou Shi was undoubtedly the one who reassured them more.

The world is getting more and more complicated, and the heroes appear one by one, and Zhou Shi is a little tired of coping. Friends and enemies are not so easy to distinguish, and the competition in the future, with the memory of the past life, will it really be invincible?
