Chapter Ninety-Six: You're Not My Employee
Skilled in industry.
Although Li Jiaming made his fortune from memory, he still believes that 'industry is good at specialization', and in fact it is. Even when he sold winter bamboo shoots, he relied on his calculations to monopolize the winter bamboo shoots trafficking in the county. The mushroom, white fungus, flooring, and building formwork businesses that followed, as well as the later Sohu.com, Lifang Company, and Hanhua Technology, actually relied on professionals to achieve success.
At this point, even if others and even the company attribute the credit to Li Jiaming's foresight, he still thinks that he is just pointing in a direction, and the key to success still depends on the hard work of a large group of outstanding professionals.
This time, because of the paper, Li Jiaming reminded him of social networks and wanted to support a large number of Chinese billionaires through this project, but he still did not choose to do it himself, but chose Daniel Zhang, who had some ideas about this idea. The reason is very simple, he knows that social networking is the trend because of theory and memory, and Daniel Zhang has a vague idea after reading the paper, which proves that people are more capable than him in this field.
However, Li Jiaming was not entirely betting, and after telling Daniel Zhang some of the fur he knew in an exploratory way, he also wrote the English word 'Face' in his notepad. If Daniel Zhang can't succeed, Li Jiaming will definitely not let go of that gold mine, and he must be down-to-earth in his work and strive like a good woman in his career, but he will not let go of this excellent investment opportunity.
The angel investment is 500,000 US dollars, and the investor has the right of preferential liquidation and financial supervision...... , everything is according to the principle of venture capital, Li Jiaming signed an agreement with Daniel Zhang. Then, this mess was Daniel Zhang's, and Li Jiaming just made Wharton the chairman of the new company.
But after reading the paper, the Wharton guy also felt that this line of work had a lot to do, and he actually decided to resign as the manager of the legal department and go all out to assist Daniel Zhang. This guy is not an employee, but a subordinate, Li Jiaming thought about it again and again, and persuaded: "Andre, you have to think clearly, with your position and contribution, sooner or later you will get the company's future shares." ”
"Boss, but I still want to start a business. ”
Li Jiaming has no objection to his powerful subordinates wanting to start a business, but he is respected as the leader, so he has to think about others. After hesitating for a while, Li Jiaming suggested: "Andre, otherwise, you should be the manager of the company's legal department and let your assistant take care of some of your daily affairs." ”
“Boss?”
Li Jiaming, who was sitting behind the desk, waved his hand and interrupted: "It's decided, you have to remember that you are not my employee, but my subordinate, Ok?"
Wharton is not the only lawyer in the legal department, and Li Jiaming's decision is equivalent to allowing him to just take money and not have to work, and he can also keep his future options, which can't help but make this young lawyer grateful.
“/Boss!”
After arranging this capable subordinate, Li Jiaming did not forget to inform Kyle, who was still negotiating, about the matter and asking for his opinion. Although Li Jiaming is the boss of the company, he has always been careful to respect his partners.
A considerable part of Wharton's contribution to the company is not suitable for publicity, and Kyle, who received the call, understood that Li Jiaming was so preferential, but also said euphemistically: "Ming, I suggest that he first represent our company and serve as the chairman of the new company, maybe this is more appropriate." ”
"Well, I think your opinion is very correct, so it's up to you to give the personnel order. ”
Kyle on the other side of the phone was very satisfied with Li Jiaming's respect for him, but also said in a deep voice: "Ming, maybe we have to be mentally prepared." ”
Li Jiaming was shocked, and immediately whispered: "It's impossible to pass?"
"Yes, several lawmakers privately said that it was almost impossible, but they could lengthen the drafting and voting process. ”
Still falling short, Li Jiaming sighed regretfully, but he was not very disappointed. As long as this legislative process is extended, the market value of E can be forcibly raised. When the bill was vetoed by China, he would have cashed out early, and he would just take advantage of the decline in stock prices to buy back and shear back the wool for the American people.
"Ok, then make an agreement as soon as possible and let Robert and them handle the listing. ”
Since the bill can't be passed, then Robert's valuation is unfair, and the two sides have to compromise and make concessions to each other, Kyle, who has already discussed the bottom line with Li Jiaming, said: "Understood."
Put down the phone, and finally go public, although it is not the overall listing of Hanhua, but it also represents a peak of his career.
'Knock knock', Marisa, the company's VP and chief product experience officer, knocked on the door and handed Li Jiaming a plan she had been tinkering with for more than half a year - to build an HH product experience store.
Li Jiaming was very impressed by this idea, and Apple did just that after the great success of NE. Yes, /biger, which translates in Chinese to 'more forced'.
But the company is currently an iPod product, and now it is a bit too early to start a product experience store?
"Boss, although we only have one series of products, we have e, and the combination of the two is a free music audition, which can completely allow us to experience the store enough popularity. And, I've heard that Apple is already talking about these kinds of initiatives, and I think we have to get ahead of them in order to better build our brand value!"
It makes sense, the world only remembers the first, who will remember the second?
But Li Jiaming turned to the final budget, and couldn't help but be taken aback by this capable cadre, with a total investment of 300 million US dollars, this girl shouldn't think that the company opened a bank, right?
"Isn't es/Store ready to go public? We can use the funds from the IPO to do it, and when our iPhone is launched, we can quickly gain consumer recognition through these experience stores in major super cities. ”
Three or four years later, starting now, Li Jiaming has to say that Melissa is crazy enough. As soon as these experience stores opened, they simply lost money, and one loss was three or four years. However, Li Jiaming liked this kind of madness, and he decided to develop the iPhone, which was still seven or eight years ahead of the market.
"Melissa, this is a big $300 million case that has to be discussed by the board, and I'd like to see a more convincing case, Ok?"
Once these experience stores are built, they will definitely be managed by the product experience department, which is not only a big case, but also a huge right. The capable Melissa was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed: ".
"Ok, when I get back from Hong Kong, you and Kyle arrange a board meeting. Also, how about the development of the iPod4?"
Melissa, who had just returned from Huaguo, couldn't hide the disappointment on her face, and said regretfully: "Boss, I still haven't realized the touch screen function you said, and I can only use an electronic pen like a business pass." Ren said that they would strive to overcome all the technical difficulties in another year. ”
The research and development of technology cannot be rushed, and it can only be obtained by step-by-step class. It seems that the iPod4 can't be counted on, so I can only hope that my brother-in-law will go public and mortgage the shares of the real estate company.
