It is a bad habit to dig a pit and not fill it, but Zhou Shi has always had this habit. No, AIA's affairs have just begun, and he left Shenzhen Xiangjiang and returned to Silicon Valley, no, Hollywood.

Disney's acquisition of Marvel has finally come to an end, with the purchase price rising to $6.6 billion. Despite all the disadvantages of Iron Man 2, the important supporting actress is still Chinese, but the box office revenue of more than 600 million US dollars proves that the possibility of Marvel superhero success is very high. The main follow-up merchandise is more attractive than other films, and it is very complementary to Disney. It is a great help for Disney theme parks, etc. However, Zhou Shi did not participate much in the price negotiations, and he didn't know much about the inside story of how to reach this price.

"That means if I add a little more money, I can own about five percent of Disney's shares?" Zhou Shi asked his assistant

"Yes, no more than $300 million is fine. "Assistant

"Where does this money come from? I'm short of money right now. Zhou Shi was a little hesitant, Disney's stock price was about to peak if it rose about 3 times, and Galaxy Capital's fund had already acquired more than 5% of Disney's shares. Is it necessary to acquire more shares?

"If you want to exert more influence on Disney, it's better to buy some. ”

After Disney acquires Marvel, Zhou Shi will join Disney's board of directors, and the greater influence will be Disney's chairman? Zhou Shi noncommittally vetoed the proposal to buy Disney shares to 5 percent.

"Congratulations, my boss!" said Robert Iger

When Zhou Shi heard Egger's words, he really wanted to reply, work hard, and wait for you for a promotion and a raise. Thinking about this, it seemed a bit arrogant, a bit of a villain's sense of ambition, Zhou Shi couldn't help but complain about Egg's thoughts.

On this day, the spotlight flickered, and many media reporters from Hollywood and Wall Street were present. Covering this huge acquisition.

"Simon, Marvel superheroes are so successful, why did you agree to Disney's acquisition of The Marvel Company (Marvel Studios' parent company)?"

"Because I believe Disney can help Marvel get more people's love and let Marvel superheroes go to the world. "Zhou Shi

"Can't you do that?"

"Of course I can, but Disney could do that in a much shorter amount of time, they have a lot of experience and a lot of sincerity. "Zhou Shi

"Why do you say Disney is sincere?"

"Because of the price, the price represents Disney's sincerity, and I'm sure they won't joke with so much money. "Zhou Shi

"Will you still invest in the entertainment film and television industry in the future?"

"I haven't left the industry, I'm now a shareholder of Disney!" Zhou Shi

"From the time you invested in Marvel to the present, Marvel's market value has increased by 6~7 times, how did you maintain such a high rate of return, is there any secret?"

"Find the right goal and work hard. "Zhou Shi

"Can you tell us more about how you pick stocks?"

"Ask me what I'm doing here?" Zhou Shi looked at the reporter with an innocent face

"We found that the success rate of Zhou's total investment is too high, no matter what stocks are bought, almost no money is lost, we saw a data, when Simon invested in Netflix, Netflix's stock price was less than $30, and Simon held 9.9% of the shares, but Netflix's stock price has now risen to about $120. How did you pick stocks that could appreciate so much in such a short period of time. "Reporter F

"Is this true? Sorry, I didn't pay attention, someone else took care of it for me. "It's true that Zhou Shi didn't pay attention to the changes in Netflix's stock price, he didn't pay attention to whether Netflix was fake, and it was true that others helped him take care of various matters with Netflix, but the buying and selling of stocks was his own decision. not lying, but also hiding his true thoughts, it can be seen that Zhou Shi has gradually become an old fritter.

"It's true, you see it's on your phone!"

"Thank you for using the Fruit Shell Phone and using the UC Browser!" Zhou Shi made a small advertisement without a trace, "Wow, Hastings is amazing, how did he do it?" It was quite surprising to see that Netflix's stock price had risen fourfold. Does the Netflix saga start now? No, it seems that there is still a big crisis waiting for them.

"I was bullish on the prospects of video streaming services, so I invested in Netflix...... Just like I am optimistic about the smartphone market, optimistic about the development of Apple and Google!" Zhou Shi

"You mean now is a good time to invest in Apple and Google?"

"Today is a press conference for Disney's acquisition of Marvel, not a stock discussion, and I'm no longer answering questions about that. Zhou Shi didn't want to be the protagonist himself, so he left the stage early.

Disney's high-priced acquisition of Marvel has caused widespread discussion, whether such a high price is worth it, what is the taxi's intention in doing so, and what kind of impact will it have on the company's future. The stock market reacted to this mixedly, with some believing that Disney's stock price was at an all-time high, and the actual cost of acquiring Marvel at such a price was not so high and it was a good deal. Some say that the premium of 60% to buy Marvel is obviously a loss, and Disney will pay the price for it.

Ran goose, the discussion about Zhou Shi seems to have caused a lot of controversy. Whether he is an entrepreneur or an investor is a question worth discussing.

Zhou Shi holds shares of Apple, Netflix, Baidu and Amazon, from the worst of the subprime mortgage crisis (early 09) to the present, the stocks he invested in have generally risen by more than 2.5 times, of which Netflix's stock price has risen nearly 4 times, and Baidu's stock has even risen by more than 5 times.

Whether the youngest billionaire in history is an entrepreneur or an investor has caused countless discussions, including Warren Buffett.

"I think Simon Zhou is a very amazing investor, more powerful than me, and his investment approach may be different, close to venture capital, but more aggressive than venture capital! I hope to have the opportunity to exchange investment ideas with him......" Buffett

"This guy, he's a genius idealist, he always likes to do some special challenges, what does it matter if he's an entrepreneur or an investor?"

"I don't know how to define him, but I believe he's a great partner and we all trust him!" said Kevin Feige

"He's a genius like me, of course an entrepreneur, who said that technology is a necessary condition for starting a business, and the idea of a genius is something you can't understand......" Larry Ellison

In this way, as various industries participated in this big discussion and received more attention, the heat of the topic of Zhou Shi soon exceeded the attention caused by Disney's acquisition of Marvel.
