As April entered, Zhou Shi inevitably became busy. For example, the materials needed for earthquake relief were simply a disgrace for Zhou Shi, who had lacked training in this area since childhood. Moreover, there must be a suitable proportion of large-scale material procurement.

After the procurement list was listed, the next step was to place an order. With the intensification of the financial crisis, domestic and foreign trade companies faced great difficulties. They can now produce such small batches of orders. However, Zhou Shi has never been exposed to a series of retail procurement issues such as placing orders to specific companies and how to do quality monitoring. Fortunately, Huang Huainan was preparing for his Vipshop and recruiting an elite in the industry as the deputy general manager of the branch. Zhou Shi directly borrowed the vice general manager named Zhang Quan. Although the location of the goods has not been determined, production has begun. Zhou Shi is also ready to go to Rongcheng at any time to do the final preparations before the earthquake.

Zhuque Fund has gradually closed the long positions last month and is preparing to start a second short-selling action. Their long positions are not profitable, and they have both profits and losses. Xinghe Capital's main energy is focused on talent recruitment. In less than a month, they have increased nearly 30% of the staff. Among them, the five major investment banks have a lot more middle-level personnel.

At this moment, the Chinese elite organization Hundred People Association also found Lu He again and invited him to join this Chinese-American organization. This is a good thing and can expand the connections of Xinghe Capital. Lu He went there happily. Zhou Shi did not go, the company recruited many people, and the management of Xinghe Capital also had to make some adjustments, and Zhou Shi also needed to be more familiar with them.

The next day, Zhou Shi saw Lu He sitting in the office with a complicated expression on his face.

"What's wrong? What did you do yesterday to my sister-in-law?" Zhou Shi joked

"I encountered an investment opportunity yesterday." Lu He

"Oh, they took you to invest! Isn't this normal?" Zhou Shi

"I thought they were a very ideal organization." Lu He

"This is not a contradiction, reality and ideals are always intertwined." Zhou Shi

"Oh, maybe."

"What investment project?" Zhou Shi asked

"Bank, a small and medium-sized bank that mainly targets the Chinese market: China American Bank"

"Are they going bankrupt or want to expand against the trend?" Zhou Shi

"It seems to be a supplement to the bank's capital adequacy ratio." Lu He

"What do you think? Should we acquire some banks and reorganize ourselves, or find someone to cooperate with us? There are too many small banks that go bankrupt now, and it is also a rare opportunity."

"What do you think?" Lu He

"I have no idea. I have to run a bank and I can only rely on you."

Lu He didn't expect that Zhou Shi directly gave up his control over the bank and did not respond for a while. Banking is also a big challenge for him.

"The beautiful Wu Jianmin is very capable, and the market value of a small company is close to $2 billion." Lu He

"Will it be too small? Will it be useful for our future exhibition?" Zhou Shi

"We don't have the ability to control it if we are too big." Lu He

"Okay, you can do it yourself. I may have to return to China in a few days." Zhou Shi

"Returning to China, the financial market is changing rapidly now, if there is no need..." Lu He

"It's not that exaggerating. The financial crisis is far from over. We just need to insist on shorting. Just make more money and make less. By the way, don't do gold for the time being." Zhou Shi

"We have made great profits in the gold market, why should we give up?" Lu He

"Under the influence of the financial crisis, most companies will face the dilemma of shortage of money, so how can they have so much spare money to buy gold?" Zhou Shi said.

"Then let's short gold?" Lu He

"The impact of the financial crisis has spread to the world. Except for gold, no assets are safe. Everyone doesn't know what to believe?" Zhou Shi was actually nonsense. He just remembers that the price of gold officially broke through 1ooo US dollars and it took more than a year to wait.

"What's the matter with you going back to China?" Lu He did not continue to ask him about gold. The most important thing now is the target. There are too many choices and he does not want to get involved in gold. What's more, he doesn't think it's normal for the gold price to rise to 1 ooo US dollars.

When Zhuque Fund closed its position a while ago, crude oil and gold were basically closed. The crude oil was bought back around 1oo US dollars, and a little gold was bought. However, since Zhou Shi recalled that gold would still have a long time of fluctuation, there was no need to stare at him. After this profit, Zhou Shi owed Twitter Holdings funds when he acquired the equity of Youtube, and Dai Furui had no reason to prevent Twitter Holdings from being cancelled. Twitter matters became clearer and clearer, and Dai Furui's exit could no longer be avoided.

As for Zhou Shi's other target: Lehman, in March, it was reported that Lehman Brothers would lay off 53oo people. In April, Lehman Brothers confirmed that three of its funds were liquidated. So Gregory also gave another big gift. Zhou Shi personally owed Lehman several other risky loan projects were sold at a discount to a small company that had just been established. As for what Gregory got from it, or had nothing, no one knew.

There was more than one harvest. Zhou Shi and Lu He officially decided to support Aoguanhai's penetration. This time, Lu Peining got the news from somewhere, knowing that Zhou Shi was about to regain control of Twitter, so he hurried over to show his attention.

Both Friends.com and youtube have helped Aoguanhai in the past few months, especially with the explosion of users of Friends.com, as well as the online payment services provided by Friends.com, and the intelligent information push services, Aoguanhai's fan base on Friends.com has increased rapidly. As for why Friends.com helps Aoguanhai, it is because Google also supports him. Aoguanhai bought Google's keyword advertisements, but Google may have other considerations. Most of the campaign information searched through Google is positive news about Aoguanhai, and most of the other candidates are negative news. As a member of the Google camp, Friends.com's support for Aoguanhai is not outstanding, after all, Aoguanhai has to pay.

The big data services of Friends Network were also given to Aoguanhai. Although they were all superficial data and did not have much analysis, the instant data displayed allowed Aoguanhai's campaign team to benefit a lot from it.

After Twitter changed hands this time, Ao Guanhai may receive more help. It is not difficult to understand that Lu Peining comes to him at this time. Help is help, and Ao Guanhai must have the promise that he should give.

"If Xinghe Capital wants to get involved in the semiconductor industry, it needs to get the support of President Aoguanhai." Zhou Shi did not hesitate and gave the conditions.

"If you are too sensitive, it may not work." Lu Peining did not agree directly, but wanted to learn more about it.

"It's not sensitive, it's just semiconductor foundry. I'm optimistic about the development of this industry. If you want to acquire some companies, you need to get some help and commitment from President Aoguanhai!" Zhou Shi

"Can you say it's more specific?" Lu Peining

"If you encounter obstacles from the local government, I hope to say a few words for us. In addition, don't give us the manufacturing barriers for importing advanced production equipment." Zhou Shi

"If you can guarantee that these equipment will not be used for military purposes, I don't think there will be any problems." Lu Peining said that

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Thanks for the monthly ticket for the withered flowers!
