The winter sun was warm, and Kyle, who was casually behaved, changed his usual casualness, sat on the black calfskin sofa and watched intently as Li Jiaming elegantly made tea. This is both culture and art, and all culture and art should be respected.

"Kyle, please".

A smiling Li Jiaming served tea with both hands, and Kyle also smiled and took the small teacup like a work of art with both hands, and followed his prompts to savor the legendary charm. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Kyle tries to keep his mind calm, he can't appreciate the tranquility, so he sighs, "Ming, it's too hard to appreciate a culture." ”

The smiling Li Jiaming held the small teacup and said curiously: "Kyle, we are friends." If you need my help with something, you can just say it, you don't have to go around in circles. ”

"OK", Kyle shrugged his shoulders, carefully placed the small white porcelain cup on the coffee table, and asked rhetorically, "Ming, I helped you mortgage $60 million with Sohu's stock, don't you think it's too smooth?"

Li Jiaming didn't feel strange about this, and joked: "Because we sohu is the first Internet company in the world to achieve profitability?"

"Perhaps, this is a gift from the Atson family, otherwise it can't be 60 million, but 45 million. ”

Oh, the founder of their IBM seems to be called Thomas John Watson, Li Jiaming heard Sun Weigang say that before, that old boy is still respected in the industry as the 'father of computers'.

No, listening to Sun Weigang, didn't the Watson family retire?

"After the listing, according to what I know about the Chinese, it will be difficult for you to work together again, and one person will definitely quit. And this one is most likely you, am I right?"

It's not hard to guess, Li Jiaming plays with taste: "So what?"

"Mr. Gee wants to buy some of your shares after you go public

。 Huaguo's market is too big and is in rapid development, and he is optimistic about SOHU's growth. ”

Interestingly, when Li Jiaming asked his own question, it attracted Kyle's good-natured joke: "Ming, you have read too many celebrity biographies, right? You have gone through the revolution, and so many red families have been born, not to mention us in the United States? Many families will retreat behind the scenes for various reasons, but it is impossible to give up their family's inheritance and wealth."

A big part of the reason you're willing to give you a $60 million loan is because your focus is on real estate, which requires a lot of capital, and you're likely to sell a fair amount of stock. ”

It doesn't matter, no one wants to hold on to the stock for a long time, as long as they can afford it, why not? It's just that this foreign devil is slippery, and last time he actually tempted himself with cheap land, and the reason is for this purpose.

"Kyle, you're so keen on this, maybe you're also from the Watson family, right?"

"No, I have won an ATSON scholarship, as long as it does not violate my professional ethics, I will be happy to help Mr. Gee.

Ming, I'm just suggesting to you that instead of selling shares on the stock market, sell them to the Atson Foundation at a premium. Unlike traditional investment funds, they do not interfere in the daily operation of the company, nor do they pursue short-term benefits, but only focus on the long-term development of the company. ”

The background of a famous family is indeed extraordinary, Li Jiaming, who has heard of some ancient family legends, nodded again and again, but also reminded the other party: "Kyle, Mr. Gee gave me friendship, not a gift." ”

This guy is too shrewd, Kyle chimed in: "Of course, if your stake is not worth $100 million, you are already a big man, and you need more friends if you want to have a bigger development." Trust me, as long as you have enough good friends, you will get a lot of help. ”

"Ok, I'll seriously consider it. ”

After responding to the visitor's invitation to cooperate, Li Jiaming also asked about his troubles, Frank's olive branch was too attractive and had to make him in a dilemma. This is a graduate of the Sloan School of Business, and he should be aware of these things, and he has no interest in Yahoo.

"Ming, you're not kidding, are you?"

"What do you mean?"

This guy is not joking? Kyle, who was puzzled, said strangely: "Ok, business school is a place to train professional managers, it can teach you all kinds of business skills, but it can't teach you how to build a great business!"

Ming, I suggest that you don't have to take the degree so seriously, you don't need it anymore to apply for a job. ”

The subtext is that it is too difficult to test, Li Jiaming smiled bitterly, but Kyle shook his head and said, "Ming, you misunderstood." You are one of the main founders of SOHU, and it is you who found the profit model of the Internet business.

I'm sure all business schools will open their doors to you if you want to, but the question is, do you need to waste that much time? Do you know how hard it is to get a business school degree? You go from a master's degree to a doctorate, and it takes at least 7 years!"

Seven years, another seven years, but Li Jiaming is willing to spend these seven years, and he is happily preparing to suffer for another seven years.

Monster!

Incomprehensible, Kyle shrugged his shoulders, took another sip of bitter hot tea, and suggested, "Ming, I suggest you go to Stanford's business school." I believe that in the next ten years, the world's Internet innovation will be concentrated in Silicon Valley. You study there and have access to state-of-the-art technology and ideas at all times. ”

"think\/you, my friend!"

"Ming, it's my pleasure to be friends with you, and I've always believed that you'll be the second Bill Gates or Steve Jobs! ”

This foreigner friend speaks well, and he knows the truth of wanting to take first, and he is not like that Frank who likes to play with his heart

。 An admission qualification that didn't cost them anything seemed like a very precious gift in the bastard's mouth.

After sending off the visiting Kyle, Li Jiaming, who was in a good mood, sent the freshly prepared review article to Sun Weigang and asked them for advice. As soon as he finished sending the email, the mobile phone thrown on the desk rang, and Li Jiaming, who was happy, couldn't help but be stunned after hearing it, and it took a long time to remember that he had plagiarized three songs.

"Big head, you're done? Okay, I'll go over in the evening. I don't have time now, I still have to change things. ”

Damn, this is not to listen to songs and give opinions, this is to ridicule yourself. , what kind of people are they, I don't owe them!

Throwing down the phone, the depressed Li Jiaming was about to go outside and discuss recruiting with Zhong Chaocheng. Lao Zhang's fox is really an old fox, seeing that he really doesn't want to seize control of the company, he immediately rented a large office for himself, not only let himself be a VP (vice president) to manage the company's administrative affairs, but also let himself be in charge of all news columns, including politics and economics. But there is no way, Lao Zhang has management experience and is quite capable, but he is busy developing the "Internet Café Overall Solution", he does not do these things, and let Zhong Chaocheng, who only has theory but not practice, do it? Now it is not the time of a dozen people, but a headquarters, two branches, and more than 300 employees!

What's more troublesome is that Sohu used to be a small company and did some plagiarism, but now that the company is bigger, it has to make its own content. I can only catch up with my duck wearing a 'talent' hat on the shelves first, and ask the headhunter company to dig people up while doing it.

As soon as Li Jiaming, who was worried, got up, Sun Hui, who had not shown up for a few days, pretended to knock on the door, and immediately rushed over and pulled him.

"Team leader, help help, help. ”

Help? She has to help herself?

Hehehe, this is a self-taught 'pretending home', relying on his family's background and road to be abducted and deceived, and it is estimated that he is still swaggering and deceiving under his own banner. Li Jiaming, who was still happy just now, lowered his face and said: "There is no need to talk about borrowing money, no need to talk about investment, and no need to talk about being a lobbyist."

"Brother, help!"

"Come less, when you are cheated and deceived, you should think about the consequences! You are brave enough to be fat, and you still want to hold a few houses in one hand?"

It's over, being seen through, Sun Hui cried and begged with a sad face: "Brother, I can't help it." ”

"Say, what conditions did you agree to Director Zhao?"

"Five and a half million investment".

500,000?

Seeing Li Jiaming's face darkened, Sun Hui, who had seen him get angry, hurriedly said: "Brother, I really know Director Zhao, and I have eaten with him." ”

Li Jiaming was so angry, and if he didn't tell the truth to himself at this time, he didn't want this friend.

"Okay, okay, you see what is worth in this office, you can drag it and sell it. 500,000 yuan, do you think I'm a rich man?"

"Brother, you are the director of SOHU, your brother-in-law is still the vice chairman, will you have no money?"

Lao Tzu didn't owe you, if it weren't for your father's official in the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, he would have played with you for so long?

"Cousin-in-law, I have already borrowed 3 million from him, do you think you can still borrow it for other people's business? Lao Tzu now lives in a house that was bought by Weiwei, and even the decoration money was paid by herself, do you think I still have money?"

Wouldn't it? Just like him, Zhao Wei will still post it upside down?

Li Jiaming didn't bother to take care of this Laipi dog, so she followed her. He can see that this girl is purely a spoiled child, and always thinks that she treats others as friends, and others owe her, so they should help her.
