With the copyright of "Spider-Man" guaranteed, SoftBank immediately took action, showed great efficiency, and quickly cut through the mess to reach an agreement with the Marvel board of directors.
Even Zhou Buqi, the insider, was not required to vote. Several other major shareholders recognized the acquisition plan proposed by the SoftBank team. The asset was sold at a price of $3.825 billion at a premium of 50% based on the expected valuation of $2.55 billion!
This is already the fourth acquisition completed by the "Purple Star Global" project this summer.
The first transaction was to acquire MGM for a total price of US$2.76 billion;
The second transaction was to acquire Summit Entertainment for US$270 million;
The third transaction was to acquire the related copyrights of "Spider-Man" for US$700 million;
The fourth deal was to acquire Marvel for US$3.825 billion.
With the joint efforts of many parties, the progress of this super large project "Ziweixing Global" is going very smoothly. DreamWorks Animation is also on standby, and the most important next step is multi-party negotiations with Comcast, General Electric, NBC Universal, and Universal Pictures.
The great situation is in full swing, and Zhou Buqi's reputation in Hollywood is getting better and better. From giant executives to first-line producers, from top agents to big-name actors, from Internet celebrities to young models, everyone is trying to get close to him.
Party invitations of all kinds are popping up.
Many of the invitations were unabashed in their content, including lingerie parties, swimsuit parties, and mating parties, and there were even invitations to "poison parties."
As a promising young man, Zhou Buqi rejected all these evil spirits and stayed at home with his wife.
So much so that he couldn't get past Manchester United's first game of the new season.
Originally, according to the club's plan, he was supposed to be there.
Manchester United shocked the world in the transfer market this summer, making countless Red Devils fans ecstatic. In the summer transfer window, Real Madrid spent the most, with transfer expenditures as high as 220 million euros. Ranked second is Manchester United, which also reached 200 million euros.
The determination and belief shown by the club has allowed Manchester United fans to be immersed in a sea of happiness all summer, completely free from the blood-sucking Glazer family in the past few years.
The most grateful person is of course Boss Zhou!
Therefore, Manchester United hopes that Zhou Buqi can go to the scene to watch the game in the first Premier League game of the new season and accept the applause and cheers of all fans.
Zhou Buqi couldn't move away.
Ning Yaxian has gone to the hospital to wait for delivery. Not only can he not leave, but he also has to find a bed in the hospital to stay with him 24 hours a day. Fortunately, this is a private hospital, with internal facilities comparable to those of a five-star hotel. The nurses are as beautiful as flight attendants, and there are dedicated top chefs to cook delicious food.
You can also watch Premier League broadcasts in the living room of the ward.
At 1:30 pm local time on August 16, Manchester United's first round of the new Premier League season kicked off. Manchester United faced Birmingham at Old Trafford. It can be called a crushing game, with the Dutch twin stars of Robben and Van Persie flying together on both wings, and Rooney constantly interspersing and changing positions in the middle. The front trident is paired with new aids Yaya Toure and Bastian Schweinsch who often come forward. Tiger, Manchester United performed phenomenally at home!
Rooney opened the scoring with a header in the 27th minute.
Then it got out of hand.
In the 32nd minute, Robben cut in and took a long shot, scoring his first goal after returning to the Premier League. In the 44th minute of the game, Yaya Toure's long shot from outside the penalty area was blocked, and Rooney scored another goal with a supplementary shot.
Just 3 minutes into the second half, Van Persie won a free kick at the top of the penalty area. Yaya Toure, who performed well in this game, scored directly with a shot!
In the 65th minute of the game, Manchester United scored again. The veteran Giggs who came on the bench made a pass from the wing, and the high center forward Berbatov who came on the bench succeeded!
5:0!
In the first round of the Premier League of the new season, Manchester United not only got off to a good start, but also achieved a hearty victory!
Coach Ferguson highly praised the team after the game and expressed his gratitude to the club for their heavy investment this summer. He confidently stated that Manchester United can continue to be brilliant this season!
That night, Zhou Buqi called Ferguson and congratulated him. He played well in the first game! At the same time, he was vaguely told not to put too much emphasis on veterans. As a substitute, Bell might be more useful than Giggs.
On August 18, Ning Yaxian was sent to the delivery room.
It was found out half a year ago that Ning Yaxian was pregnant with a girl and Ning Yameng was pregnant with a boy.
Just wait patiently.
Finally, Zhou Buqi's second daughter...well, his second biological daughter was born safely.
This time, Zhou Buqi was more experienced. Looking at the newborn baby, although it was wrinkled and ugly, he didn't dislike it. It would become beautiful when it grows out.
If the mother’s genes are so good, her daughter will definitely be the same!
For a time, the family was beaming with joy.
There is also an endless stream of visitors.
Even Sun Zhengyi came over once and gave Zhou Buqi a string of Buddhist beads, which almost made Zhou Buqi angry to death.
…
Because she gave birth to her daughter, Zhou Buqi put down most of her work during this period.
If something happens, it's a conference call.
On August 22nd, there was a group of people who couldn't push it away no matter what.
Boss Ma is here from China.
It is said that he is ambitious and wants to enter overseas markets like Ziweixing. Alibaba wants to really take action in the overseas B2B industry!
As a pioneer, Ziweixing can provide some help.
If it was a gift to Zhou Buqi, he would have refused. It was asking for his help and he couldn't refuse. After thinking about it, I felt that it was not appropriate to take Boss Ma home to receive him, so I opened a presidential cover for him at the Hilton Hotel.
As soon as we met, this guy was very enthusiastic and gave me a big hug, "Where have you been for the past six months? Why can't I see you?"
Zhou Buqi said: "Open up overseas markets."
Boss Ma was a little admired and a little envious, "I heard it's doing quite well? In the Japanese market, Ziweixing's layout is no worse than Yahoo Japan."
Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Seize the opportunity well. Every economic crisis is a redistribution of global wealth and industry structure. Whoever can seize the opportunity can rise in the face of adverse trends."
Boss Ma nodded and went to the study room in the suite with him, avoiding the accompanying assistant, and asked with a smile: "I heard you gave birth to a daughter?"
Zhou Buqi had a black line on his forehead, "Who said that? Masayoshi Son?"
Boss Ma laughed.
Zhou Buqi said: "Keep it secret."
Of course Boss Ma knows how to keep secrets, or he wouldn't hide in the study away from his assistant, with a joking look on his face, "Illegitimate child? Okay, how old are you?"
"What an illegitimate child, don't talk nonsense."
"Isn't it?"
"no!"
"Really?"
Boss Ma's tone was relaxed, and he didn't think there was anything he shouldn't admit. He just gave birth to a baby, which was not unusual for the rich in the circle.
Zhou Buqi said seriously: "That's not true! I never lie to others!"
He really doesn't lie.
It's really not an illegitimate child.
This is an illegitimate daughter!
Boss Ma laughed and looked contemptuous.
Zhou Buqi coughed lightly, "Okay, I'm still busy. Let's get down to business. If you need my help, just ask."
"Okay..." Boss Ma nodded, "Well, that's right. My son is now a sophomore in high school. I plan to let him come to the United States to study at university next year. He is interested in games and can apply for Stanford, Berkeley, Carnegie, or MIT. Anything is fine, go learn computer science."
"Why is your son looking for me when he goes to college?" Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows, "Oh, his grades are not good? Looking for a relationship?"
Boss Ma said: "The grades are okay, but good grades are useless. I'm busy working every day and haven't taken him to participate in any social practice, so he may not be selected."
When selecting candidates for American universities, academic performance is only one aspect. It mainly depends on overall quality, such as what volunteer activities you have participated in, what social activities you have done, whether you have special talents in music, sports, art, etc.
In addition, you can also rely on capital and connections to get to the top.
Boss Ma has capital.
But his money is of no use to American universities. He has to donate money to the university, and then the university will provide his children with a place to attend school.
Alibaba’s stock price is so low now that it’s impossible for Boss Ma to cash out, and he really can’t afford a big donation.
The best thing is to have a relationship.
For example, many senior executives of Ziweixing International graduated from universities such as Stanford and Berkeley, and are famous alumni with potential. Students recommended by them are often given priority for admission.
In fact, it is also related to money.
Only by establishing good relationships can we obtain sponsorships and donations from these famous alumni in the future.
Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Why don't you find someone else? Don't you have many friends in Silicon Valley?"
Boss Ma laughed and said, "They are outsiders, they are different."
Zhou Buqi snorted, "Okay, I understand. Your son is my son, leave this matter to me. Don't tell me that you came to the United States specifically to talk to me about this matter."
Boss Ma said: "It's Alibaba's international business."
"Um."
"Alibaba is preparing to officially enter the global B2B business..."
"Wait a minute, haven't you been doing this for how many years?"
Boss Ma said: "In the past, it was only partial and not systematic. This time Alibaba plans to develop an AliExpress product and integrate it with the past platform, which may lead to greater competition with eBay."
Zhou Buqi frowned, "Isn't the step a bit big? I haven't felt it in China before. The e-commerce environment in Europe and the United States is far inferior to that in China. In the United States, there is a duopoly of Amazon and eBay, and in Europe it is a duopoly. The general environment is very repulsive to e-commerce.”
Boss Ma said with a smile: "As you said, the economic crisis is an opportunity. AliExpress can help domestic suppliers directly connect with global terminal retailers. It can sell small batches and multiple batches quickly, integrating orders, payments, and logistics. An integrated online trading market for small foreign trade orders. Of course, it can also help domestic retailers place orders from foreign small and medium-sized enterprises."
Zhou Buqi said: "It seems reasonable."
Under the economic crisis, the most critical thing is to ensure that small and medium-sized enterprises can survive. If you want to survive, you must receive orders, especially orders from new foreign markets.
The platform built by Alibaba can sell the goods of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises abroad, and can also sell the goods of foreign small and medium-sized enterprises domestically. At first glance, it seems feasible.
