Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant.

Chapter 176 "Red Cliff" Released

Xiangjiang Investment invested US$30 billion to short 2 lots of international crude oil, which seems like a lot, but the average daily trading volume of the NYMEX light sweet crude oil (WTI) futures contract in the United States in 2018 reached 150 million lots. In 2008, it was about 100 million lots. [-] million lots, so in the future it will be said that Zhang Yiwen is a big short seller of crude oil, mainly because the media collects money to do things.

Oh, no, it is impossible for the media to know that Zhang Yiwen is trading at this time. It is just that there is news that there is a big short seller in Xiangjiang who dares to short international crude oil.There will be no clear news that Zhang Yiwen did this in the future. After all, it must be kept secret!

The average opening price of Xiangjiang Investment is about US$140. Because it uses 10 times leverage, the actual investment is about US$3 million. The oil price fluctuates by US$1, and the profit and loss fluctuates by US$2000 million.

Xiangjiang invested US$5 million in principal, and the position would not be liquidated until the oil price rose to 165.Coupled with Huatou's 10 billion, the international oil price will not rise to 215 US dollars.Therefore, compared with before, the risk of Xiangjiang investment this time is very low.

Commodity prices plummeted, and global stock markets also slumped. BYD's share price fell to about HK$8. Qu Li was moved, remembering that he could increase his holdings to 5000 million shares, and asked the Vision Fund to acquire it in the open market.Unfortunately, the market transactions are sluggish, and the daily trading volume is only 3000 to 8 million Hong Kong dollars.Out of some jealousy and not wanting to lose to Buffett, Qu Li offered a purchase price of less than HK$[-]. Unfortunately, not many people were willing to transfer, so let's wait.

When he came to the United States this time, Qu Li met with the CEO and executive president of Spreadtrum to discuss future development and the Vision Fund's investment; he met with Google executives and Android head Andy Rubin; he purchased the product from Tesla. A pure electric sports car requires the design requirements of a power battery; I invested in Twitter and Riot Games; I inspected Shopee; and I made a trip to Facebook to meet with Zuckerberg and that was it.

What did you talk about with Zuckerberg?Of course, he is making some efforts to promote the Beijin Olympics to the outside world. The international public opinion environment is very bad. He wants Zuckerberg to share more "good news about the Olympics" with users around the world.As for YouTube, the founding team is losing control of the video site, and Qu Li can do very little.

After Microsoft, Li Ka-shing and others invested US$3.75 million in Facebook, Qu Li's shareholding ratio has been less than 1%. The cooperation between Shopee and Facebook is considered a pure profit.

"I think the subprime mortgage crisis will bring huge changes to the financing market. It is necessary for Facebook to conduct a financing in the shortest possible time to cope with possible..." Qu Li did not want to buy shares, he was really kind, but it was a pity that Zach Berg is not convinced:

"We have a professional team and the CFO has rich financing experience..."

"Well, Facebook is shopee's most important partner. Please notify me if you need it..."

"No problem!" Zuckerberg is very talkative.

Seeing this, Qu Li knew that he didn't believe it, so he didn't persuade him. Anyway, his goal had been achieved, so it didn't matter.

After flying from the United States to Beijin, "Red Cliff" has been released in major domestic theaters. The two soundtracks that Qu Li participated in were the first to be released. "Nijamena" is the opening music, and "Victory" is the end of the film. The lower part is the one that burns Red Cliff. Preview.

Director Chen's "Red Cliff" is not like Wu Baige in that it does not have too many modern novels. The purpose of the war is for unification and peace for the world.It's just that Cao Cao liked "immigration", which caused the bones of the Central Plains to be exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crow for thousands of miles.Liu Bei wanted to revive the Han Dynasty, but Sun Quan did it for personal gain and did not want to lose his life, freedom, rights and wealth.

The one with the strongest personal ability is undoubtedly Cao Cao, the one with the most charisma is Liu Bei, and Sun Quan is considered the leader.In the interpretation of Director Chen's film, from the tiger and leopard cavalry attacking the nomadic invasion, Cao Cao proposed the southern expedition, Longzhong's confrontation, Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang appeared successively, Jingzhou Mu surrendered, the tiger and leopard cavalry blitzed Liu Bei's troops, and then Cao Cao sent an envoy to surrender to Sun Quan. , Zhuge Liang's mission to Soochow ended.

The movie is mainly based on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", with some director's ideas added, but hidden in the fast pace, it was noticed by the audience who watched it twice and three times.

That's right, "Red Cliff" earned 1.5 million in box office within four days of its release. Not to mention rave reviews, Douban's score of 7.5 is considered an excellent commercial blockbuster.In the second week, it received 7 million box office in seven days and 1.2 million in two weeks. Countless people hope that "Red Cliff" will break the 2.7 ​​million domestic box office record set by "Titanic" ten years ago.

It was against this background that Qu Li returned to Beijin on July 7 and was quickly arranged for an interview. The other actors ran for two weeks on the road and were all exhausted. Han Sanpin urged Qu Li several times on the phone, " The box office record of "Titanic" is simply a shame for domestic filmmakers, and few people care.

Even Zhang Guoshi, the director of the Olympic opening ceremony, took the time to watch "Red Cliff" and praised the movie. Of course there were many negative voices, but Director Chen has good connections in the industry, not to mention that he can reverse right and wrong like Wang Sunglasses. , can confuse the aesthetics of actors and audiences, and at least stop negative comments from being posted for the time being.

When the reporter interviewed Qu Li, he naturally asked about the creation of the two soundtracks. Qu Li would not be shy about bragging.

"I have taken the time to study and compose music in the past few years. I have some inspirations and fragments, but they are not systematic. After working with Teacher **..."

"What was sung? I don't know. I originally wanted to add some meaningless humming, but then someone suggested singing a love song in ancient Chinese..."

""nijamena" is originally a love song that bravely breaks through feudal ethics..."

"'Victory' has little to do with me, only the soprano part was my suggestion."

Reporters asked Qu Li many questions about "Red Cliff".

"I probably won't be involved in film production for a while..."

"How long is a short period of time?" the reporter asked

"After the company goes bankrupt, or after I resign from the company..."

Only then did the reporter remember that Qu Li was the boss of a listed company. While he was wealthy, he also had his own career and pursuits.

After Red Cliff, there will be no more Quli!Some media actually used such an outrageous title, which almost made him cry. Can you have some moral integrity, is it reasonable, or is it a curse?

Maybe Qu Li really has a fan base. His Matt-killing business has become popular across the country and has become the standard for delinquent teenagers born in the 90s in urban and rural areas. He is regarded by many as the "Leaven Master" of the Shamate cult. One step away from being banned.

After the interview, Qu Li returned to Glory and received a very unexpected news. Motorola Building was looking for a buyer and they were ready to sell it.

"They shouldn't sell it to Glory, right?"

"Of course, but don't you have money? You can find a way to buy it and then sublease it to us. This kind of advertising effect is sensational. How much advertising expenses can be saved?" Zhou Shaoning said with certainty, it makes sense!

"How much does it cost?" Qu Li was worried that it was too expensive and he couldn't afford it. The total construction area of ​​the Motorola Building was 33745 square meters, and the house price near the China World Trade Center was over [-] square meters, right?

"I don't know." Zhou Shaoning

Without Qu Li, Singapore's Mapletree Group acquired Motorola Tower for RMB 9.14 million a few months later.To say that house prices can rise tenfold, the rise in prices of these commercial office buildings is not that outrageous.For example, the Ark Building, which covers an area of ​​2.27 square meters and has a construction area of ​​1.97 square meters, was acquired by Mapletree Group for 2014 million in 4.2 and sold for 2020 million in early 7.5.

I asked about the funding situation of the Vision Fund. No problem, then buy it.
