Chapter 199: Honolulu

Small bosses who manage hundreds of thousands, millions of assets, are the busiest, and they have to do everything themselves.

At Su Mu's worth, he has the strength to recruit top professional managers to help him manage the company, he still needs to keep an eye on the development of the company, but it is relatively much easier.

Su Mu only needs to be in charge of Spider in the first two years, and after this Internet company is on the right track, there is no business for him to deal with, there are only twenty or thirty employees in total, and several of them are part-time, and the main task is to continuously inject money into Spider for the development of the company.

Most Internet companies in this era are unable to make a profit in the early stage without the help of angel investment, and if they want to develop and grow the company, they can't do it without money, Spider spent more than 20 million US dollars on Su Mu before and after, so that they have today's high market value, even Su Mu feels that it is difficult to afford, not to mention the self-made entrepreneurs.

So the capital group represented by Wall Street took advantage and provided development funds to outstanding enterprises in Silicon Valley in exchange for the opportunity to obtain high returns in the future.

Speaking of Money Helberg.

The person in charge of the fun shopping supermarket is young after all, Su Mu asked him out for dinner a few days ago, and has already discussed handing over the business to others to manage, a few years ago, the scale of the fun purchase was very small, and it was relatively easy to manage, and now there are dozens of stores, and it can go further after listing and financing.

In the first 11 months of this year, Qugou's sales increased by only 4.2 percent compared with the same period last year, coupled with the fact that several stores were not selected in good locations, and the direct closure of the doors, the cost was also high, and shareholders began to question Herberg's ability, as the CEO, which led to the stagnation of the company's development, he was most responsible.

Instead of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, Su Mu helped Herberg get good benefits, including more than $3 million worth of fun purchase stock, and a cash prize of two million dollars, and asked him to come to Penguin to help.

The iron company, the manager of the flowing water, Herberg agreed, and was quite satisfied with this "severance pay", and he himself knew that the company would have problems if it continued like this, and in the face of the encirclement and suppression of a group of chain supermarkets, he had already begun to be at a loss, and had no courage to compete with Wal-Mart, Carrefour and other companies in the market, and agreed to wait to find a suitable new CEO, and after completing the handover procedures, he would continue to help Su Mu.

Facing the listing but changing the CEO, the investment bank in charge of the listing said that this is a good thing, which can make investors see that the Qugou supermarket has the ambition to continue to expand, Su Mu always felt sorry for Herberg, so this time he went on a trip and called him along......

The plane landed on Honolulu Island, the capital of the state of Hawaii, and a large amount of sandalwood was transported from Honolulu Island to China in history, so the Chinese used to call it Honolulu.

The temperature is much higher than in Los Angeles, and when I got off the plane, I changed into shorts and short sleeves in the lounge, and went to the store to buy double flip-flops and a few pairs of swim trunks.

It happened to be a holiday, and there was a lot of traffic at the airport, and the bodyguards also changed into shorts and short sleeves, with bulging waists and guns.

In their business, don't expect statutory holidays to be closed, the daily salary is twice as high as usual, plus you can travel for free, there are not too many complaints, but unfortunately you can only accompany your parents and family by phone for the holidays.

"It's a hassle to have to check in the guns when you get on the plane, and now I'd rather buy a private jet. Su Mu complained while waiting for the luggage.

Qian Helberg is still single and has no family, he received a call from Su Mu last night, and agreed to travel together without thinking about it, otherwise he would be alone at home during the whole holiday, which is too desolate.

Knowing that Su Mu was rich and didn't think it was a big deal to buy a private jet, Herberg replied: "Buy a Gulfstream IV, I have seen the business jet just launched by Gulfstream Aerospace in a magazine." ”

"Reluctantly, so much money can buy a small island in Hawaii and look at it in two years. ”

“...... The island is an investment, a private jet is a pleasure, and the two cannot be confused.

You can pre-order and it may be delivered in a few years, and it will take much longer to produce than a car, and then you can sell the order to the wealthy in need if you don't want it. ”

Su Mu turned his head to look at Helberg, raised his eyebrows and said, "Great advice, I can try to understand the price first, that company should be on vacation recently, and I will call them next year." ”

"It's strange why they didn't look for you, this private business jet manufacturer often sends salesmen like the super-rich to sell private jets, even the White House and the Pentagon. ”

"Maybe because I know that I am poor, the cash assets in my account are negative, and Morgan Bank has millions of dollars, and if I deposit hundreds of millions of dollars in Citibank, maybe someone will come to my door to sell it. ”

This is a mockery of Citibank's poor secrecy.

Last year, Su Mu opened an account in this bank and deposited $2 million, and that night someone called him to ask if he wanted to buy a fund, and many fund companies called one after another, and insurance companies also joined in the fun, selling insurance to him, and there was no privacy at all.

"There have been a lot of sales calls lately, and if you sue those companies for improper storage of information, you may be able to make some money through out-of-court settlements, and no company wants to encounter a scandal, especially a listed company. ”

"It's a great idea, you can try it, if there is a future, I won't do business, and I will make money by fighting lawsuits with you, and there are indeed people who do this......"

Leaving the airport, I rented a car by phone while on the plane, the car rental company had already delivered the car, and after Su Mu signed the bill, he was driven by a bodyguard to find the hotel.

Just halfway to the hotel, my good mood was disrupted by a phone call.

James said to him on the phone at this moment: "Leons, the customer service who just stayed on duty in the company told me that the old man with the hypertext patent called our company, warned you not to infringe on your patent, and said that he would file a lawsuit in federal court!"

The thing he was worried about actually happened on such a comfortable day, Su Mu had a little headache, and comforted: "It's better to sue now than to sue later, after all, I haven't made money through patents, call him to me, it's best to spend a sum of money to end this troublesome matter." ”

Hypertext, hypertext link, the latter is a huge innovation of the former, applied to the Internet industry, Su Mu checked, it does involve part of the other party's patents.

In fact, the other party is also a thief, borrowing from other people's theoretical achievements and preemptively registering patents......
