All kinds of bigwigs have the side of ordinary people, Zhou Shi and Cao Guowei have a lot of idle talk, anyway, they are bragging nonsense. One of the reasons why Zhou Shi chose to start a business in the sharing economy is that in a few years, the valuation of a company has gone from zero to 10 billion, which is more likely to be a little more likely for group buying and sharing economy. Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, first occupy this tuyere and see if the pigs at the tuyere can fly.

In the past few months, the acquisitions of Sina and Focus have been in an uproar, and Fuxing Guo Guangchang has also entered the game. However, from a literal point of view, you can know what the hell is Sina's acquisition of Focus, and is there any complementarity between the two companies? Only when the brain is in the water will there be such an acquisition, so when Cao Guowei said that Zhou Shi said the management MBO, he was calm on the outside, but he was still very nervous on the inside. If a predator like Galaxy Capital takes a fancy to them, it is difficult to explain the risks, and in the financial battle, let the opponent know your strategic purpose and hole cards, even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

Cao Guowei and Zhou Shi didn't gain much from the idle chatter, and Zhou Shi didn't ask for anything, not even about the MBO of Sina's management. At this time, Sina's chairman was Wang Yan, and Cao Guowei was only the CEO. After the management MBO, Wang Yan will abdicate and make way for Xian. Zhou Shi's actions were very abrupt, and Cao Guowei, who couldn't figure out the situation, had to ask for help from others, such as Jiang Nanxia, who was divided.

Focus is a building advertising company with a market value of about one billion US dollars, and as a market leader, Jiang Nanchun is still very competent. However, he is better at capital operation than business operation. In addition, spam text messages were rampant, and business suffered a setback in the financial crisis, and revenue fell sharply. The company's market capitalization has grown from $8 billion to about $800 million today. This is where Sina's acquisition of part of Focus comes about.

Jiang Nanxia doesn't know Zhou Shi either, everyone's level is different, one is a world-renowned big man, the other is a predator in the market segment, and it is normal that there is no intersection. However, he thought of his classmate at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, Guo Guangchang from Fuxing. Guo Guangchang invested more than 300 million US dollars in Focus Focus, becoming the largest shareholder of Focus Group, accounting for 28.65% of the shares.

"Zhou Shi, what's wrong with him?" Guo Guangchang thought that this little brother who played Tai Chi with him suddenly became the richest man in the country, and he was also full of emotion. Zhou Shi and Ma Ali are familiar, Ma Ali and Guo Guangchang are familiar, so that Guo Guangchang and Zhou Shi are familiar again, people are like this, some people who have no intersection will always come together for various reasons.

He suddenly asked Cao Guowei to work with him to set up a company to compete with Twitter China. "Jiang Nanchun

"Isn't Twitter theirs?" Guo Guangchang sometimes really envied Zhou Shi, the companies he established were all internationally renowned and influential, and the conferences he attended were all Davos and the like, and he became a member of the semi-official organization of the Huaxia Entrepreneur Club at a young age. Decades do not know what kind of achievements will be made.

"I don't know, Cao Guowei can't tell, but judging from Penguin's shareholding, the relationship between Twitter Huaxia and Time Friends is not close, and there may be something in between. Jiang Nanxia was not familiar with Zhou Shi's initial entrepreneurial journey, at that time, he was the pride of the domestic financial industry, and many people reported around him.

"I'll go find someone to ask!" Guo Guangchang hung up Jiang Nanxia's phone and dialed Ma Ali. A small thing spread almost half the Internet.

Zhou Shi soon received a call from Guo Guangchang.

"Why do you want to cooperate with Za Lang? Do you still need a reason to cooperate?" Zhou Shi received a call from Guo Guangchang and was also inexplicable, I set up a Weibo to deal with you.

"Then can I join?" Guo Guangchang

"Yes, I welcome anyone who is sincere! But we have to wait until we start Series A financing, and the price will not be cheap. "Zhou Shi

"Can't you join now?" Guo Guangchang thought, with the support of time, Zhou Shi's joining, the probability of Weibo's success is very high, as long as you can invest, making money is almost certain.

"I have money, technology, talents, resources, and I have talents, I have experience, what can you convince us, or do you want a share?" Zhou Shi said directly

"You're too polite, I've taught you Tai Chi anyway. "Guo Guangchang

"Big brother, if we don't have a pious and cautious attitude towards our careers, and we always pay attention to all kinds of human affairs, how much energy can we put into doing things? I don't have this ability, so life is life, and work is work!" Zhou Shi said seriously

"Hey, your success is justified, it's me who is wrong!" Guo Guangchang

"There's nothing right or wrong about it, it's just a difference in personal perception. "Zhou Shi

"You really don't have any thoughts about Sina?" Guo Guangchang

"Brother Guo, what do you think is the use of us acquiring Zhalang? Do you make money? We have more and better ways, that is, we want to pull some business for Tianhe Securities in China and cultivate some financial talents for China. "Zhou Shi is not lying, Tianhe Securities has absorbed a lot of international students and financial talents to return to China to open up the market, although there is no qualification of a securities company, there are still many businesses that are not very profitable to do, as well as this year's GEM, Tianhe Securities and Sixiang Fund can participate in Pre-IPO (before investing in the company's listing, or when it is expected that the company can be listed in the near future). Companies like LeEco are good targets, they are not long-term holdings anyway, and the participants in the financial market are a group of greedy speculators or fools who do not understand professional knowledge and invest indiscriminately, and there is not much morality.

Guo Guangchang thought about it, and also felt that their reaction was a bit excessive, not all valuable things will be valued, and the scum wave is really chicken for the time system.

"By the way, how is AIG doing now?" Guo Guangchang thought of this temporarily

"What else, there is no way to survive except nationalization. Zhou Shi replied unhappily, this kind of tens of billions of dollars business is really not what he can do now.

"Is it so serious?" Guo Guangchang still didn't believe it

"Do you know how much AIG lost in the fourth quarter of last year?" Zhou Shi asked with a smile

"How much, $30 billion?" Guo Guangchang guessed, in fact, he still knows something, the loss in the second quarter of AIG2008 was $5.36 billion, and the loss in the third quarter was $24.5 billion, so it will be a lot of losses in the fourth quarter.

"According to the data we have obtained, AIG lost more than $60 billion in the fourth quarter. How's that, exaggeration?"

"$60 billion, is this true?" Guo Guangchang gasped

"Anyway, when you look at AIG's financial report, they can't hide this kind of thing. "Zhou Shi

"They're really going to sell AIA. "Guo Guangchang

"It's a pity that we don't have the money, and they could even sell American Life. "Zhou Shi

"Sell these, what is left of AIG?" Guo Guangchang

"There is still life left!" Zhou Shi's words revealed a little helplessness, more or less with some sad feelings of the dead rabbit and fox.

The severity of the financial crisis obviously exceeded Guo Guangchang's expectations, and he asked with some ugliness: "Will the financial market continue to decline?"

"How do I know this, you have to ask if the public's confidence is still there! You have to ask whether the world's economy will collapse!" Although Zhou Shi did not answer directly, with the help of the US government, bankruptcy will not be possible, that is, the interests of AIG's original shareholders will be damaged.

"That's okay, that's okay!" Guo Guangchang was a little relieved, he pursued the concept of contrarian investment, and invested a lot of money in the financial market, and if Wall Street collapsed, he would be uncomfortable.
