Chapter 175: Three Thousand Feet of Water
"Madame Reynolds, I'm not fighting for a controlling stake, think about it, I'm still studying. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I am in high school now, I will go to university in the future, and after finishing college, I will also stay in China to develop, otherwise I would have gone through the immigration procedures earlier. Even I don't feel at ease, who can you rest assured? I only ask two questions, the first question, if you want to expand production and expand your business after your product has been developed, do you want to find a financing company? Who gave you such generous conditions? The second question is to find a financing company, who will sit back and watch millions of dollars be invested and handed over to two people who can't manage it. You are technical geniuses, not management geniuses. There are no all-rounders, OK. Li Mo finished in one breath.
Salna was still a little upset.
"Mrs. Reynolds, let me say again, he is the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, and he has many connections, and with him as CEO, Cisco will expand faster. With people's earnings this year, will they covet a little stake in your small company? Besides, they are still two or three months away from going public. Well, ask Ballmer to come over, and I'll pay him $400,000 a year, and the company will only have to take two percent of the rest of the shares. If you still don't agree, I'll leave it to you for a while, and then I'll have a board of directors to decide who the CEO will be, and I'll decide on the real managers. Li Mo said unceremoniously.
Posack thought for a moment and said, "So be it." ”
Salna is still upset.
"So, two percent is not much, right?"
Bossak nodded, he had also heard a little about Microsoft's situation, with Ballmer's assets, once listed, it would reach millions. How much is a Cisco Two Percent worth? With an estimate of three fat sheep, it is only $200,000.
"Let him take time to manage until the end of '88, and if you still have opinions, you can kick him out of the CEO, and we can also write this article on the contract."
So what else to say.
Several other minority shareholders, that is, a few technicians, also agreed.
It's really not okay not to invite the CEO, the money is all here, but Professor Posack and his wife don't know what to use it for, and the specific business management.
Several people shook hands and said goodbye, how to check in next, don't worry about Li Mo, when he went to San Francisco Airport, Li Mo began to call Ballmer with Zerfman's big brother.
"Li, I can't tell the difference."
"Ballmer, just to let you see the big picture, and to keep you in Cisco every day? Professor Bosak was a little better, his wife was not a troublemaker. You stay at Cisco every day, and if you don't get it right, there will be serious conflicts. ”
"You're still telling me to jump into the fire pit?"
"You don't understand, remember what I said to you at Microsoft? The future is the computer age, the Internet era, and the products developed by the company will be the key to whether it can usher in the Internet era. Think about its prospects. ”
"How is it better than Microsoft?"
"It shouldn't be bad, otherwise I wouldn't have paid you out of my own pocket."
"Is a few hundred thousand dollars money to you?"
"Ballmer, who said it's not money, do you know how many elementary schools we have to build in our country?"
"Where are you now?"
"I'll be back in Los Angeles right away."
"Okay, you wait for me in Los Angeles, I'll be there shortly."
Curiously, Schefmann asked Limer: "Cisco's prospects are comparable to Microsoft's?" ”
"Pretty much."
Li Mo also has no way, if he doesn't invite Ballmer to come over, the pair will invite other CEOs and give shares, but before, I am afraid that their own investment can at least make them spoil more than half. Ballmer came, and it will be noisy, and it will be noisy, but no matter how noisy it is, under Ballmer's leadership, three years later, Cisco will be able to get on the right track. There is another reason why Li Mo asked Ballmer, this person is not strong, and his personality is casual and gentle, otherwise there are only two options for any other person, one is to kick the Bosses out of management, or the other is to leave by himself. Therefore, in the previous life, Cisco, before the pair of babies left Cisco, changed several CEOs.
By the end of '88, even if Ballmer couldn't bear it anymore, Cisco was on the right track at that time, and no matter which venture capital came over, if he wanted not to bleed, he didn't want to share the fruits of this victory.
Back in Los Angeles, father and son fell asleep on the bed together.
As soon as I woke up, a large group of people came to the room.
"Gates, why are you here together?"
"Li, you're really not interesting, such a good investment, why don't you bring us?"
Li Mo rubbed his eyes and thought to himself, you dare to think that I am the Holy Mother.
Ballmer asked on the sidelines, "Lee, can you tell us more about which company?" ”
Li Mo talked about the situation of Cisco again, and then said: "Ballmer, let you take care of it, anyway, Seattle to San Francisco is not far." ”
"How did you find out about this small company?"
"You will know when Hao Rick comes back, he brings me several newspapers several times a year, if you have the heart, you can see some useful news in the newspapers."
"Why don't you take a stake?"
"You can't control it, and once you take control, Mrs. Posack will immediately be unhappy, at least for the time being, Cisco's development will have to rely on their brains."
"Li ......"
"Gates, you don't say anything, I can only take out four percent of the shares and give them to you to divide, this is not to share the shares to you, but to divide the money directly to you."
So to speak.
The problem is that these shares have to be kept, and they will have to be held for more than ten years. If you don't keep it for more than ten years, the return is just the same thing.
It's not easy to hold on.
With Bill Gates joining, and his powerful mother, at least ninety-four years ago, no one dared to move. The shares are allocated from the two funds, which is even more confusing. This caution is right, it may not matter if it takes away hundreds of millions of dollars, but this figure is not 100 billion, and whoever is in charge will be in a hurry.
Now they have become the owners of the money, and soon the shares have changed for the second time.
Bill Gates then asked, "Lee, what happened to the BBC?" ”
"Am I going to copy someone else's idea?" Li Mo pointed to his brain.
"We Chinese have always been quiet and don't like to cause trouble, and there are many Chinese people in the UK, which may indeed be a coincidence, and the BBC thinks I am other Chinese and comes to blackmail." One million loss fee, not allowed to be issued, if you want to issue it, you have to pay money, two or three million dollars, it is worth their face. ”
"It's possible," Mr. Ballmer said.
"Yes, if I hadn't encountered one thing, I might have really made a compromise with them," Li Mo said about purchasing electrical appliances on behalf of him, and added: "This is human nature." After this incident, after hearing Hao Lick's report, I knew that I couldn't compromise, so I made a counterattack. ”
"We are Chinese grateful, including you...... It's not about the current returns, the current returns are not worthy of my gratitude, after a few years, the investment has only increased tenfold. If I use dim sum, I can get this reward anywhere and take the risk of your mistakes. ”
"Microsoft's return is not now, but in the future, maybe in the future it will really swell into billions of billions of market capitalization behemoths, so I called you last time."
"Lee, your friendship with me is three thousand feet of water." Gates said.
It was too awkward, but Li Mo still shook his hand happily.
West Klein took Ballmer to Cisco to sign the contract, and he also had to let Ballmer know about Cisco's situation and arrange the whereabouts of Limer's funds.
Li Mo took out many paintings and said, "Xie Fuman, I will immediately register a patent for these portraits, and the script will be registered with the Screenwriters Guild." ”
Li Mo did it even more shamelessly.
These paintings were painted one after another after he entered high school.
There are no others, namely "Toy Story", "Ice Age", "Shrek", "Madagascar", "How to Train Your Dragon", "Finding Nemo", "The Lion King", "Despicable Me", "Minions", "Kung Fu Panda", "The Simpsons", "Cars", "Tangled", "Rio Adventure", the main portraits in a dozen cartoons, and about the storyline.
Li Mo drew it, and about the storyline was also written.
He's ready to enter the toy industry, and that's a must......
There are also a lot of popular cartoons, he hasn't watched them, or he has no interest in watching them, such as "Crazy Primitives" he hasn't watched it, and "Brave Legend" hasn't watched it, so he let it go.
Anyway, Disney has a headache in the future.
"The animations are interesting," Scheufman said, flipping through them.
"They were some interesting ideas in my head, and the technology wasn't made yet, but the BBC incident worried me, so I wanted to sign up. I'm registered now, and I won't be sued for infringement again. ”
"That's, it doesn't cost much anyway." Some things, Hao Like also said, Li Mo wants to enter the industry, and the first stop is the toy industry. The principle is also simple, its technical content is relatively low, and it is just suitable for the situation in China.
If you want to enter the toy industry, in addition to following the future release of "Jurassic Park", you must have products that you can get out.
These are the fist products of Limer's future toy empire.
Not to mention children, but also adults, such as myself, after seeing some of the portraits, I also like them.
Lee Mo is shameless to the end.
When Sicklein returned from San Francisco, he took Siclay to ILM, Lucas's studio, which had a computer animation department, which would be acquired by Steve Jobs in a few months, and Li Mo wanted to mix it up.
Not for the future of Pixar, but for the person of Jobs.
This can be solved in March, and Jobs still has a lot to do with Apple at this time, including selling Apple stock.
Li Mo found Lucas first.
Lucas gave him a warm welcome, took him by the hand and said, "Lee, the script is really troublesome." ”
"I came early this time, and I also came for the script, you and Spielberg don't have to rush, but you solve one thing for me first."
"What's the matter?"
Li Mo took out a bunch of drawings and said, "Can your studio make it into a short animation?" ”
Lucas flipped through the pictures one by one and said happily, "Lee, what about the story behind it?" ”
"Lucas, I've sent a lawyer to the Screenwriters Guild to register the script."
"Li, are you really from Red China?"
"Lucas, this time he was bitten by the BBC and had to be careful."
"Li, don't worry, I've read your novel and their short film, it doesn't constitute infringement."
"Lucas, has my reputation been affected somewhat?"
"No, didn't Bantam Books tell you? They told me that your book was selling better, and I almost didn't buy it at all. But it's a really interesting book, Lee, how did your brain grow? ”
"Lucas, can you wait for the talks, let's talk about this short animation."
"Li ......" Lucas likes it more and more, in fact, this animation can be said to be the most amazing cartoon in history. (To be continued.) )
