Chapter 134: The Beginning of the New Year
"The little woman is not talented, and she has not won the favor of the son,
Disturb the son for a long time, don't blame the son.
……
All the meaning of love stops between the lips and teeth, hidden in the years, and hidden in the future.
I don't have a chance with you in this life, please don't worry about it......"
Early 1974.
The only person who can sing this song is naturally Han Chudong.
A black Rolls-Royce with a "Han-1" license plate is driving on Highway 1 in California, with a high front and low tail, as if holding its head high, driving past an old pickup truck, looking at the mouth of the middle-aged pickup truck driver, obviously saying "WOW".
Cliffs on one side and sea on the other.
The sun is shining on the sea, and the seagulls are circling around, and driving in this kind of place will make you feel better.
With a total length of more than 1,000 kilometers, California Highway 1 can go straight from Los Angeles to San Francisco.
I set off two hours ago, and now I'm driving to the vicinity of Hearst Castle.
Kiko Mochizuki, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was numb.
In the past half an hour, she has heard more than ten songs from Han Chudong's mouth, most of which are in Chinese.
For example, the song that Han Chudong is singing now, even if he doesn't understand what it means, but Mochizuki Kiko thinks it's very good, and subconsciously thinks that the current Chinese songs are very good, how can you guess that these are songs that will appear decades later.
Superstar Elvis Presley has just fallen and become what people call "poisonous insects", Michael Jackson is still active as a member of the "Jackson Five", and Queen has just released their debut album.
In such an environment, Han Chudong's humming songs on the steering wheel is undoubtedly a clear stream in the era of rock and roll to her.
I've never seen a small boss like this.
Kiko Mochizuki smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she was looking out the window, but she had been paying attention to eavesdropping.
The research lab agreed to sell.
In the end, he asked for $1.04 million, and he agreed.
The transfer of everything including equipment, patents, technology, sales channels, etc., the transfer procedure for a small company is not complicated, and now it is just a matter of signing a memorandum of understanding.
If nothing else, you should be able to take care of all the formalities within a few days.
There are some things that Han Chudong can only deal with in person, such as arranging the next research direction, announcing a new salary and bonus plan, changing the name of the laboratory, and so on.
I took a plane to Chicago once, and I didn't want to be trapped in a big ashtray in the sky again, so I chose to drive there by myself, and by the way, I could go to Silicon Valley.
I didn't go last time, but this time I'm going to Silicon Valley for a few days.
Before going out this morning, Han Chudong had a phone call with the founder of Atari Inc.
Although the money is already relatively tight, the sales of Mango Toy Company at the beginning of the year are sluggish, and the storm electrical appliances are about the same, he still can't let go of the arcade market.
Preliminary communication with the other party, ready to go over to inspect the company as an investor in the past two days to see if there is any opportunity to acquire shares, no matter how bad the cooperation between the two sides is.
Please consult the company's people to help investigate Atari, and the specific information has not been fed back to Han Chudong here.
Therefore, he didn't know what the scale was, and he was completely uncertain at this time.
Stop in the rest area and fill up the toilet with gas.
After Christmas Eve, Han Chudong did not contact Mochizuki again.
At first, she thought that she didn't say anything that night, which caused the little boss to be angry, but when we met today, I realized that she was thinking too much.
Continuing on the road, Kiko Mochizuki saw that the "walking record player" next to him no longer continued, and said carefully: "You sing very well, and those songs are also very good, but there is less guitar accompaniment, otherwise it will definitely be better." ”
"Listening to my own voice is quite different from what others listen to, so I don't know how to sing, you don't care about me, you can sleep or be in a daze, and you should be able to arrive in two hours. ”
Han Chudong just finished speaking, and then said: "Help me remember, when I go back, quickly find a driver, preferably the kind that can be a bodyguard." No matter how good the car is, you will want to vomit after driving for a long time, but unfortunately your driving skills are not good, I dare not put my life in your hands, I should find someone to come over with me, and change the drive with me. ”?
Driving skills are generally a fact.
Mochizuki Kiko apologized in advance and had a good temper.
First of all, she wrote down the phrase "looking for a driver" in a small notebook, and she told: "Sorry, this car is too big, and the drivers on Highway 1 are crazy, I really can't." Accountant Wang: They will go to San Francisco first, and when they come back, let the others also take this car, and you can rest, boss. ”
"It's okay to come back, don't worry, take care of something near Stanford University first, about an hour less by car. ”
Turn on the radio to listen to the radio.
The first two days of the holiday were fun, with the next few days staying at home and occasionally going out to eat and drink with friends. Han Chudong took time to set a goal plan for this year, and also read the biographies of John Rockefeller and Paul Getty, two super-rich people, respectively, and learned a lot from them.
At the end of last year, he made a lot of money, and at the beginning of this year, his income fell seriously.
For ordinary migrant workers, earning $30,000 or 40,000 a day is simply an unattainable dream.
However, Han Chudong felt that it was still too little, and wanted to expand the scale of Baofeng Electric as soon as possible, put batteries and new skin care masks into production and go on the market, and increase revenue sources.
——————————
Mr. Clifton Nate single-handedly made this big business happen.
As a transaction middleman, it is similar to a real estate agency, and after the matter is completed, Han Chudong takes a two-point commission, and some services are charged separately.
There are a lot of corporate service providers like him, and there are a variety of projects.
From poaching, to enterprise diagnosis, to market research, reasonable tax avoidance, as long as you can afford the cost, someone will come to solve it with a phone call.
Even illegal work is taken by people, the price is slightly higher, and it belongs to a consulting company that is not too formal.
If the boss of the company is looking for a merger and acquisition of his favorite target, he may not be able to save money, but also take many unnecessary risks.
Clifton Nett's company will help review the ledgers, tax history, and lawsuits, and will also help with the procedures during the transfer, so that you can make money with your skills.
Han Chudong admits that he lacks experience, and is more worried about the risk of trading, so he wants to spend money to buy it with confidence.
I went to the west side of Golden Gate Park again, found Clifton Nett, talked to him for a while, and after making sure that everything was okay, he talked to the lab employees one by one, signed a new employment agreement, agreed to a 6% salary increase, and promised bonuses and benefits.
I found that these experienced old employees did not plan to run, so I signed the memorandum with confidence, waited for another week to draw up a formal contract, and after confirming that it was okay, I paid the balance and completely completed the transaction.
In fact, after signing the same legally effective memorandum of contract, the R&D laboratory, patents, and channels are equivalent to Han Chudong's hands.
Just familiarize yourself with the process of determining safety, and then pay the balance to the two founders......
