Chapter 0172: He Xiaolong signs the contract
He Xiaolong is still young, not the wealthy upstart who is silent but can set off a storm in the electronics industry with a single sentence more than ten years later, and he will still show surprise in line with his age when he encounters things.
He thought that a verbal agreement with Zhou Lin would be enough, but after class the next day, he saw Zhou Lin leading lawyer Wang Xiaotian to wait for him at the door of the classroom, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
Wang Xiaotian took out a very detailed contract and explained it to He Xiaolong one by one.
There are three main terms of the contract.
The first part is the rights of He Xiaolong, who will serve as the operating officer of the website to be played, and at the same time get a 10% stake. However, Zhou Lin retains the right of first refusal to repurchase the shares, and once He Xiaolong wants to withdraw from the website, Zhou Lin has the right to repurchase all the shares at the market price.
This part of the clause is very generous. Gao Zhining and Zhou Lin developed Zhou's Cubes together, and tossed out that they were going to play games, and only got a total of 10% of the shares, and He Xiaolong joined halfway and also got the same shares.
According to the investment of the game network, 10% of the shares are worth 200,000. The investment is not real money, but the website now has hundreds of thousands of advertising revenue a month, which is real money, right? If you pay dividends, there will be tens of thousands of yuan in a month, which is equivalent to stuffing a lot of money into He Xiaolong's hands.
He Xiaolong looked at the investment and income of the website shown by Wang Xiaotian, and said a little abruptly: "I didn't do anything, you just gave me so much, aren't you afraid of losses?" ”
This question is also what Wang Xiaotian wanted to ask, and when Wang Xiaotian drafted the contract, he didn't understand why Zhou Lin gave so many shares to a freshman freshman, but Zhou Lin ended his doubts with one sentence.
What Zhou Lin said was: I am also a freshman.
Wang Xiaotian was speechless on the spot, Zhou Lin, the demon, really can't be treated as an ordinary person. He could only snort and think angrily when he was drawing up the contract: It's not my shares anyway, you love to give it to whom!
Listening to He Xiaolong's question, Zhou Lin said with a smile: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, I believe in your ability!" ”
He Xiaolong didn't say anything, he wasn't the kind of person who showed all his feelings on his face, so he continued to look down.
If you have rights, you will naturally have to bear corresponding obligations, and the second part of the contract is He Xiaolong's obligations. He will be responsible for the management, development, operation and maintenance of the website.
Speaking in general, in fact, all the things on the website are left to He Xiaolong to do. Maybe Gao Zhining will be responsible for some technical things, but in the future, the problems of the entire website from development and upgrading to eating, drinking, and Lazar will be solved by He Xiaolong.
He Xiaolong didn't have too many objections to this, he had to work after taking the shares, and it was natural to do these things.
The third part is the future cooperation framework, and the contract stipulates that if He Xiaolong joins the website and wants to develop a project, Zhou Lin has the priority to cooperate and invest.
In the eyes of Wang Xiaotian and He Xiaolong, this one is a bit redundant. But Zhou Lin insisted on adding.
Whether it's Falcon Mailbox, Swan Input Method, or Harrier Browser, they are all works that have the potential to change the form of the industry. Even if it is to put aside the factor of making money, it is simply to enrich the industrial chain of his dream empire in the future, Zhou Lin will not let them go.
This one seems to have no effect now, because He Xiaolong may not have thought about the idea of Falcon Mailbox, and after his fate changes, he may not think of developing Falcon Mailbox for the rest of his life. But as long as there is any possibility, Zhou Lin will not commit it.
Do you think the 10% stake was given for free, don't be naïve!
He Xiaolong signed the contract, and he had no reason not to sign it with such favorable conditions.
After signing the contract, Zhou Lin took him to meet Gao Zhining, Gao Zhining was still a little unconvinced, and was holding back his strength to give He Xiaolong a dismount so that he could see who was the boss, but after the two chatted a few words, they were sticky together, and what they said was like a book from heaven to Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin listened for a while, but he really didn't understand, so he reminded: "Don't forget to fight against the platform......"
"Don't worry, don't worry, boss, you're busy!" Gao Zhining waved his hand, like a negative man who immediately dislikes his old love when he has a new love.
When Zhou Lin walked out of the Internet café, he only felt relaxed.
He is not a professional when he engages in websites and games, and what he relies on is nothing more than some experience of the traverser and some information in the treasure trove of literature and art in his head.
From making Zhou's cubes, to playing games on the network, and then to the development and operation later, Zhou Lin spent several times more effort than doing other things, and he really felt that he couldn't hold on.
The traverser is not omnipotent, and if he has achieved nothing in his previous life, will he be able to do anything if he crosses over? Even if he had a treasure trove of literature and art in his head, Zhou Lin didn't dare to ascend to the sky in one step, for fear that he would be miserable when he fell.
Zhou Lin is very self-aware, he is okay with copying and writing to engage in literature and art, but he really wants to control a high-tech company, and he doesn't have that ability for the time being.
Now with He Xiaolong and Gao Zhining, he can finally be a shopkeeper, cool!
When Zhou Lin was refreshed, the phone rang, and it was Geng Yunhe who called.
As soon as he connected the phone, he heard Geng Yunhe say angrily: "Count you ruthless!" ”
Zhou Lin was happy when he heard it: "How is the sales?" ”
Monday, August 27, is the day when the new issue of "Wuxia Weekly" will be launched.
After "Liancheng Jue", what masterpieces will be launched in "Martial Arts Weekly"? This is what many competitors in the martial arts circle and lovers of martial arts novels are most concerned about.
Geng Yunhe didn't fool around with his work because he had some tacit understanding with Zhou Lin, with the booming sales of "Wuxia Weekly" in the past two months, the number of submissions has increased a lot, and the editor's contact with the author has been much smoother, whether it is the works of new authors or famous authors, they have hoarded a lot recently.
Although there are no works by Zhou Lin in the new issue of "Wuxia Weekly", three heavyweight new works have been launched in one go.
One is the novel "Continental Divine Knife" by Du Haonan, a famous martial arts author who has been nominated for the Chivalry Award three times.
One is the novella "Flying Dragon in the Sky" by Lu Kai, a cutting-edge author and nominated for Best Newcomer at last year's Knights Awards.
There is also a novella "The World of Knives" unearthed by the editor from the submitted works, the author is named Li Guangrui, who is only 20 years old this year and is a second-year university student. His novel is considered by the editorial department to have the flavor of martial arts master Gongsun Bai, and it is a rare new work.
With these three novels taking over "Liancheng Jue", the editorial department is very confident, and even Geng Yunhe feels that there should not be too much fluctuation in sales.
But when the first wave of sales feedback from all over the world came back to the desk on Monday afternoon, Geng Yunhe really wanted to die!
