Chapter 178: Middle Finger

Li Mo looked at his resume and said, "Brady, I heard that you asked the company you worked for to increase your annual salary to $300,000, and also asked the company to give you an additional 10% of the shares?"

Brady was embarrassed that no matter what kind of employer he was, he didn't want this to happen to his subordinates, whether it was employees or CEOs and executives. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He explained: "Li, a few years ago it was just a small factory, with only about 40 workers, and it was my ......."

"You don't need to explain, let me ask you, what should be the highest annual income in your mind?"

"Li, my requirements are really not high, if I am given a few more years, I promise to make their company public. ”

"Brady, you don't have to explain this, let me ask you what the highest annual income should be in your heart!"

"500,000 to 1 million. Brady said in a hesitant manner.

Even in the United States, there are very few presidents with an annual salary of one million, and even the presidents of listed companies may not have so many.

Li Mo was happy...... He was about to stand up to see off the guest, Brady raised his head again and said, "Lee, in this way, give me a time, if you listen to my arrangement, within five years, your toy company will not be listed, and I will not say anything." Within five years, I'll make your toy company public, and you'll have to give me a million annual salary. ”

Li Mosheng asked him to sit down again, looked at him and asked, "What if my company doesn't plan to go public?"

"Why don't you go public, Li, even if you have enough funds in your hands, you have to go public, what is the purpose of going public? Don't listen to the nonsense in the newspapers, saying that it is for fundraising and development. In fact, the listing is to circle money, and there are many roles, officially listed, if there is a lack of funds in hand, you can sell some shares to cash out, you can also mortgage. At the same time, taking out a part of the allotment of shares can also retain talents......"

"Brady, I won't go public, but I'll take out a part of the dividends as a reward. ”

"Share dividends?"

"Well, let's talk about you, what if I don't go public?"

"Li, I can be responsible for your company's revenue of 30 million in five years, of course, the acquisition of the company and the investment of your branch in China must be decided by me, and the management and operation of the company must also be decided by me. ”

"I hired you, and I'll have a headache later......"

"Li, you're wrong, you hired me, you will be very worry-free in the future, you don't have to worry about it, I'll do it for you. ”

"Brady, if you say this in China, they will immediately drive you away. ”

"Li, I know that you Chinese are introverted and humble, but I am an American, and you also know the character of our Americans. ”

"Okay, let me ask you, if you don't meet this requirement, how much annual salary are you going to ask?"

"If the annual revenue is less than 10 million, I only ask for 100,000, more than 10 million, and I must be given an annual salary of 300,000 yuan and a certain share dividend, and 20 million to 30 million must be given an annual salary of 500,000 yuan and a certain percentage of share dividends. ”

"You have a lot of confidence in yourself?"

"That is, it won't take long for my original company to regret it, and I am in the United States, and I also have a lot of contacts, just me, as long as your company's future products are not bad, I can bring more than three million annual revenue to the company. ”

Connections do add points to him, especially for Li Mo, a rookie, it is also very important.

However, Li Mo sneered and said, "Brady, don't think of you as important, but I'm happy to tell you that you were hired." ”

"Thank you, but ......"

"As you said, an annual salary of 100,000 yuan and less than 10 million yuan of revenue will not have any share dividends, 10 million to 50 million annual revenue will have 2 percent share dividends, 50 million to 100 million US dollars will be 3 percent of share dividends, and more than 100 million US dollars will be 4 percent share dividends. ”

"What about the annual salary?"

"The annual salary is only $100,000. ”

It's not less, but Brady is an "elite", and the expression on his face is a little disappointed.

"Brady, look at it. Li Mo took out many drawings and the outline of the story he wrote from the cabinet in the back.

Brady only flipped for a moment before shouting, "Developed, developed." ”

Li Mo is not surprised, Tom Lee and Chris Brady are both headhunters, and the toy industry elites found for Hao Lick, Hao Lick selected again, and the two people who were picked out, if they can't even see the value of these things, they don't want to mix in the toy industry.

"Lee, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Brady's eyes lit up.

Li Mo called Xie Fuman to sign a temporary contract, and the company didn't know where it was.

However, in the contract, there is still a more domineering clause, if Brady makes trouble with a salary increase in the future, divides shares, or laxity, and other circumstances, Li Mo can have the right to fire him unconditionally.

Brady smiled wryly, it seems that the bad record on this resume may have an impact on him for the rest of his life.

"Brady, you and Suffman, in the next month or two, you have to pick the right companies and then make an acquisition from them, remember, a wholly owned acquisition. ”

"Understood. ”

"Also, it's better to be in California, I don't want me to come to the U.S. in the future and run all over the U.S. ”

"Understood. ”

"Pick the list, let Hollick bring me the information, and besides, Brady, you make a detailed plan. At the same time, I would like to tell you one more thing, in China, I will set up a toy company, but it will not be a subsidiary of the new company. ”

"Why?"

"I have my arrangement, but Brady, I will not deliberately raise the price of the foundry company's products in order to lower the profits of the new company, because the foundry company also has other shareholders, do you understand?"

Li Mo sent Brady away, and said to Xerfman: "Xerfman, that movie Warner Bros. has not yet decided. ”

The main thing is that Warner Bros. are not in a hurry, they are waiting to paddle behind Jurassic Park.

When Jurassic Park is officially filmed, they will set up the project. In addition, with the wind of Jurassic Park, you can also get some income from inserting advertisements, and Li Mo wrote some luxury goods in the book, which can earn a little advertising money.

The rest of the derivative income is only from video tapes and music, and as for the majority of the revenue, toys and trademarks, there is almost no need to count on it.

Li Mo didn't interfere either, besides, could he still come up with any other way?

"Go and say to them...... Well, I'll call them directly. ”

Li Mo dialed the phone, and it was a senior executive from Warner Bros. who answered the phone, and Li Mo recommended a director to them.

"Cameron, Cameron's from Terminator?"

Cameron has now made three films, the first is "Piranha 2: Breeding", which has received a mediocre response. Then in '84, he wrote and directed "The Terminator", which cost only $6.5 million to shoot, but the U.S. box office reached $36 million, and the global box office was as high as 78 million.

This is the cost of publicity and distribution that cannot keep up, otherwise the results can be doubled.

Speaking of opportunities, Li Mo also missed this opportunity, but Li Mo did not regret it, what he didn't know, he didn't remember too many opportunities.

can remember all the important things, in the past few years, the assets in his hands are not tens of millions, but hundreds of millions.

Due to the success of "The Terminator", Stallone deliberately invited him to co-write the script for "First Blood 2".

Then Cameron filmed "Alien 2", which is being filmed and has not yet been filmed.

In short, Cameron had some fame in Hollywood, but his fame was not very big, and it was not until the nineties that "Terminator 2", "True Lies", and "Titanic" made him squeeze into the ranks of supercurrent directors.

Cameron also had a miss, and "The Abyss" filmed in 89 was miserable.

So what, at least let Cameron shoot it, and the probability of losing money in this film will drop by more than half. Of course, if you don't get the production cost right, Cameron can get 20 million.

"Siegel, think about it, the scene that happened on the Snowpiercer is on a super long train, and the highlight of the Terminator is the chase scene. Neither chooses a large environment, but is constantly in conflict in a narrow small environment. ”

Siegel muttered on the other side of the phone, now please Cameron, it doesn't cost much. The timing is just right, just in time for the project, Cameron's "Alien 2" was also filmed about the same, and it can be pulled away. The key is whether Cameron can be filmed well, after all, a Terminator can't prove anything.

"Lee, we'll think about it. ”

Li Mo hung up the phone.

"Lee, do you have any new ideas for the game industry?"

"Game industry ......" Li Mo was a little hesitant, not only was he not familiar with the game industry in the eighties, Li Mo was also unable to spare more time, fifty days later, Li Mo had to come to the United States and ask for sick leave. That's enough distraction. He thought about it for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Xevman, keep watching, but this year, until next summer, I won't go directly into the game industry, I don't have time." ”

Xie Fuman couldn't help but shake his head, he, like Bill Gates, thought too much of Li Mo's IQ and thought that Li Mo didn't need to study.

But the little boss has to do this, what does he dare to say?

The miscellaneous things have only come to an end here.

Li Mo began to sign and sell books, different from before, this time it started in Los Angeles and ended in New York, as for his father, Li Mo asked Wang Yiyi to fly over and picked him up a long time ago.

As usual, there are many reporters who come to interview, not only because of age......

The first reporter asked, "Lee, Universal Music said that you wrote a beautiful song for a Canadian female singer, like a natural sound, is there such a thing?"

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

Universal Music promised itself to release a single record for Celine Dion, but it was just a human relationship. Singing badly, Kwon threw thousands of dollars on the casinos in Las Vegas.

But this song is really good, and Celine Dion sings it well, which has attracted the attention of Universal Records, and if they pay attention to it, they will inevitably promote that they happen to be in the United States and have become one of their tools to promote this record.

Li Mo replied: "There is such a thing, to be precise, I wrote the lyrics of this song, and I wrote the score of the Coke together with a music professor in my hometown. ”

When it comes to this, Li Mo will have deep respect for Professor Zhu.

Finally, the song was done, and when Li Mo signed it, he wrote Professor Zhu's name in front of the composer. Professor Zhu was furious, this is how you view us musicians? Please don't stain the personality and soul of our musicians.

At his insistence, Li Mo had no choice but to write his name on the back of his own. Maybe this song will be a little popular, if you want to be popular, you have to wait a few years. Li Mo didn't care either, and replied briefly.

Another reporter asked: "Lee, the BBC sued you for infringement, I looked at your book carefully, and their short films, the two do have a lot of similarities......

Before Li Mo could finish speaking, he pointed to his brain and acted disdainfully.

The reporter did not hesitate and continued to ask: "Li, can you say that, at least you borrowed their inspiration." ”

Li Mo sneered, and then made a move that caused everyone to be in an uproar, and he raised his middle finger at the reporter...... (To be continued.) )
