Go forward to Tiger Mountain, and see the light through the clouds. He has no more choices, a person like Zhou Shi who has no foundation will inevitably encounter many difficulties if he wants to rise, and there will be people at home and abroad who hope to get excess benefits from him. If you learn to compromise from the beginning, you will only be subject to more and more discrimination and repression. Human desires are endless, and if you can't become the top part, you may only be able to fall apart.

Their crackdown on Zhou Shi and Galaxy Capital may mainly start with the media, slandering rumors and smearing, and then affect the financing of Zhou Shi's companies and affect his cooperation with other companies. You know, those financial institutions won't be soft on people.

Fighting against an unknown enemy on the side of the United States, the most affected are the friends network and the direct investment Yelp, and the question of Zhou's moral character will certainly affect the reputation of social networks and his own direct control of the company. Twitter has nothing, and various topics may be able to develop faster when they compete freely under the platform. Fruit shells will also be affected by some things, the most important is patent issues, there may be many disputes, such as invalidating patent transactions, etc., even if they can't succeed, they can suppress the development of fruit shells.

Zhou Shi was also thinking about it at this time, not only to deter the enemy, but also to lay a solid foundation to avoid future troubles. And time was tight, and many things didn't allow him to think too much.

"Iger, I can conditionally agree to Disney's acquisition of Marvel. Zhou Shi doesn't care whether Disney, or the collective represented by Robert Iger, really has good intentions for himself, he is willing to take this as true. It's not about trust, it's about profit. Disney is second only to Time Warner in terms of strength, and its future achievements will surpass even that of all other media groups in the United States. The market capitalization is approaching $200 billion, and now it is around $45 billion. The Disney team is significantly more capable than Time Warner. What's more, the relationship between Zhou Shi and Disney is already closer. In terms of personal relationships, he is an ordinary acquaintance with Warner's top management, not as familiar as Iger.

"You, no...... What conditions?" Robert Iger actually wants Marvel too, and after listening to Zhou Shi's words, he doesn't know how to speak, don't accidentally be regarded as an enemy by him, it will be troublesome. Miramax has just been accepted into the arms of Marvel, and it is a good result like last year, even if they don't buy MGM, there is a high probability that they will get things to grow and grow. The further it drags on, the less likely it is that Disney will buy Marvel. But what does it mean that Zhou Shi took the initiative to let Disney buy it?

"First, I only need a stake for a satisfactory price, second, I want to join the Disney board of directors, and third, I want to push for .......," Zhou Shi leaned into Egger's ear and whispered his third request.

Iger was even more confused about the third request on Thursday, which was a big deal, but what helped him with his current predicament, uh, not without a little help, but that help wasn't direct at all. After thinking about it carefully, Egger tasted many connotations, and also praised Zhou Shi's foresight in his heart. Asking for Disney's shares shows that he wants to show sincerity, and he also wants Disney to show sincerity. Joining the board of directors is to get Disney's help, which is also the way it should be, Disney can't help him, why should he sell Marvel to Disney. As for the third requirement......

"You don't have anything else to ask for, like let Marvel retain some autonomy?"

"I agree with your acquisition, it doesn't mean that the rest of Marvel agrees, Kevin and others are very capable, and I don't think you want to lose such talent. Zhou Shi believes that there is no harm to Disney in retaining the right to operate independently of Marvel, and it is not worth wasting the opportunity to put forward conditions with this request.

"You're amazing!" Robert Egger, "you really don't have any other conditions this time?"

"I only think about these now, the other conditions should be secondary, let's talk about it later!" Zhou Shi's method that he came up with in a whim was naturally not very rigorous, and he still needed time to ponder.

"Well, don't worry, I will do my best to help you!" Robert Iger, "I heard that in addition to attacking you in public opinion, they will also make a fuss about taxes." There may be an issue of ownership of Galaxy Capital. ”

"Ah~" Zhou Shi was finally moved, not only for the blow he might face, but also for Egg's generosity, was it necessary for him to tell himself at this time?

"I believe in your decisiveness, as well as not being rigid and persistent, the problem now will only be a small difficulty, after all, it is the world of capital, and not many people are willing to lose too much in order to embarrass you. Egger said from the bottom of his heart, he knew how to make trade-offs for Zhou Shi, was flexible, and knew that he admired the unity of people, and his enemies were destined not to be many.

"Thank you, my friend!" Zhou Shi said sincerely, with Egger's reminder, his response is much easier, as an Internet elite, his problems are different, there are few places to find faults, without the help of traditional media, even if it is unnecessary, they can incite public opinion, let some parliamentarians come forward to file a complaint against Zhou Shi. When the time comes, the tree will fall apart, and the husk nuts will face countless patent lawsuits, not to ask these to knock down the husk, as long as it can be temporarily banned, the husk will be like HTC in the previous life, and it will begin to decline.

The two exchanged information for a while, and Zhou Shi left Marvel, some things were in a hurry, and he still had many problems to solve. For example, make an appointment with Zuckerberg, meet with the chairman of the Chinese American Committee of 100, and meet with Larry Ellison.

The first thing Zhou Shi saw was his own people, Lu He, Lu Qi, and Gorman.

"That means they're going to make a fuss about Simon, and Simon's core company, Galaxy Capital?" said Gorman

"It should be right, maybe it will also drive a wedge between me and the domestic political and business relationship in Huaxia" Zhou Shi

Zhou Shi actually has no political and business relationship in China, but unfortunately no one will believe it, but there will definitely be a preference for a benchmark figure like Zhou Shi in China. If this preference does not send him to prison, there will certainly be other compensation. Fortunately, the current social environment is not like a few decades ago, and the ideology is not serious, otherwise Zhou Shi would be even more miserable.

"Our key is that Mr. Zhou can't have problems, if Mr. Zhou has an accident...... "Gorman is not interested in private enterprises because of these, as long as the boss has an accident, the company basically can't run."

"I shouldn't have much financial and tax problems, unless there is a problem with the safety of my life, but there will be a special revenge fund at that time. "Zhou Shi, I also learned about the revenge fund from others, of course, the name of the fund is not this, and his trigger condition is that Zhou Shi and his family have been injured abnormally.

Is this what I'm talking about, Gorman is as uncomfortable as eating a hundred thousand flies. Then start talking about what is right for them.
