Top of the big era

While at work during the day, Zhou Buqi received another meeting invitation from the automobile industry.

But this time he said there was nothing he could do.

I found a reason and said that I wanted to investigate the IPO projects that were going to be carried out in the country in the near future.

This year’s IT industry can be said to have fully recovered, which has also created a prosperous scene where many domestic Internet companies are lining up to go public in the United States. Companies such as 58.com, Qunar.com, Jiubang Digital, Autohome, and 500 Lottery Network have all launched plans for Launch the IPO within the next two months.

With Zhou Buqi's current status, these companies all hope to come to him to worship the true Buddha before going public in the United States.

Because many times, the first one or two months before going public are the most dangerous, and various accidents will always happen.

In other words, someone is deliberately creating unexpected events and creating some negative news that may delay or even halt the IPO.

In fact, it is a commercial threat and blackmail, which must be solved with money.

There are a group of consulting firms on Wall Street that specialize in doing this kind of thing, and even Nasdaq has a dedicated trial review agency. The so-called temporary review means that after all the procedures have been completed and passed, there may be a sudden wave of reviews, and then some members will come forward to look for trouble. This happened to PayPal three months ago when it went public.

If Boss Zhou is willing to stand up and say a word and use his face to support the situation, he can escape.

Zhou Buqi didn't mind coming to "help" either.

It's a matter of smooth sailing.

Because he understands the situation on Nasdaq, and the current environment is very good. When Chinese concept stocks are listed in the United States, they will often get the green light all the way, and the review mechanism is much looser than that of companies in other countries. Many negative things that are not too serious can be passed by turning a blind eye.

Zhou Buqi spent the whole morning meeting with these people.

It is worth mentioning that he chatted with Li Xiang, the founder of Autohome, for more than 50 minutes, mainly through him to understand the current situation of the domestic automobile industry, some marketing models and public relations routines. At the same time, we also talked a lot about our views on the electric vehicle industry.

Because Li Xiang's current car is a Tesla Model S.

Now that the conversation started, Li Xiang couldn't help complaining, "Mr. Zhou, today's Weibo and Toutiao have really created a very bad atmosphere in the cycling circle."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "It's a platform for free speech. All kinds of people come to speak, which will inevitably lead to some bad phenomena of chaos."

Li Xiang said: "Well, in fact, it's not just the car industry, it's the same in other industries. There is a gray marketing group on Weibo that specializes in spreading rumors and creating shocking events to attract attention and gain attention. Obtain fans. And then obtain long-term commercial income through these fans, all following the model of 'earn fame first, then make money'."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "It's understandable."

He was not surprised by this.

It's like Mo Yan's Nobel Prize.

When others are praising him, if you find a tricky angle to criticize him, saying he is a traitor and a traitor, it will easily arouse the resonance of some people, quickly accumulate fans, and you can bring goods to harvest. People who can recognize this kind of point of view generally have low IQs, strong collective attributes and heckle mentality, and can accumulate fans faster. However, at the same time, this type of group is relatively poor, and it is difficult to truly harvest them into big anchors with goods.

Li Xiang said in a deep voice: "This phenomenon has become very serious now. Many car critics are specifically going to concoct negative news about some cars. In fact, it is a disguised extortion of car manufacturers' public relations fees. In this IPO review, there is this One thing, many people are criticizing Autohome’s business model.”

Zhou Buqi laughed dumbly.

Speaking of which, this guy is definitely a genius.

I gave up the college entrance examination and started entrepreneurship when I was 17 or 18 years old. As soon as I entered the industry, I formed a big momentum in the Internet industry. I founded Paopao.com, but unfortunately it was not too successful. It was later sold for 800 million. , and then concentrate on making a car home.

The meaning of his words was nothing more than asking Boss Zhou for help in a roundabout way.

Mainly three points.

First, some negative car articles on Autohome and then asking for public relations fees from car manufacturers are all done by car reviewers and have nothing to do with him;

Second, this trend was formed by Weibo and Toutiao. Boss Zhou, you must check it out!

Third, Nasdaq is strictly reviewing the business model of Autohome. In addition to the due advertising fees, the huge public relations fees are really hard to explain. Please help me, Boss Zhou.

Zhou Buqi put his mind at ease with just one sentence. He said calmly and calmly: "Go ahead and do it. Don't worry. Autohome can successfully complete its listing on Nasdaq."

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

Li Xiang was very excited, his face turned a little red, and he stood up and bowed to him.

Zhou Buqi had no intention of coming forward at all.

I received people's thanks in vain.

This little controversy with Autohome is simply trivial and nothing at all. Among these companies in China Concept Stocks, it can be said to be pure and pure. The business model of 500 Lottery Network, which was listed at the same time, is called Cruel.

Li Xiang's worries were actually unnecessary.

…

At noon, I went to an appointment to meet the Wang brothers of Huayi.

If you want to sell Huayi's shares, you must always tell him in advance.

Then, a familiar scene happened again.

The other party invited several more actresses to accompany them. This time they were amazing. They were all from ethnic minorities. One is Re Yiza, whom Zhou Buqi knows, having met him once before. There is also a Tibetan named Qu Ni Meiren, who recently got a film contract for a movie "A Coquettish Woman Has the Best Life" directed by Huayi.

There is another one who is very scary. She is a Bai girl. She looks like... she is probably about twelve or thirteen years old.

Zhou Buqi got goosebumps.

He knows that the Wang brothers have their own romantic careers, and this is inevitable when operating in this industry.

But the little girl in front of me is too young, right?

After the introduction, I found out that her surname was Yang and her nickname was Caiqi. Her family had a good background. She was now a junior student at Beijing Dance University. Her family also intentionally started to focus on providing resources for her, hoping that she could move in this circle. It went so well that they even completed the filming of a movie.

Zhou Buqi guessed in his mind.

I have repeatedly rejected the kindness of the Wang brothers. This time, the two brothers went astray when giving gifts.

While eating, we briefly talked about stocks.

Wang Xiaojun claimed to be an artist and was very interested in oil paintings. Zhou Buqi smiled and said that he would give him a few paintings later. This made Wang Xiaojun excited. He immediately asked his assistant to reserve a swimming pool and invited him to swim.
