Guo Zirong was holding a pair of sneakers in her hand, standing at the door of Li Mo's house in a daze, thinking, leave so soon? This was not the case in previous years. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Mo had already arrived in Los Angeles with his father at this time.

Two Americans greeted him, one white and one black.

The two men stepped forward and made a difference, and the white man strode forward and said, "Lee, I'm Judy Suffman, and he's Coanne West Klein." ”

Hao Like originally hired an assistant, and after the BBC sued Li Mo, Hao Like was too busy, and Li Mo was ruthless and asked him to hire another assistant and a barrister, at least at the level of Hao Like, with an annual salary that is easy to say.

This convenience, since Hao Lick followed Li Mo and had a lot of money, I don't know how many of his original colleagues envied him, Hao Lick picked and picked out Judy Sevman, and then Hao Like called and packed the ticket on the phone, saying that Shelfman's ability was still above him.

Of course, no matter how great the ability is, it is impossible to reach Hao Like's annual salary, in Li Mo's words, Hao Like is a veteran, and he started a business with him, can it be compared? A sentence was so warm that Hao Like yelled on the other end of the phone.

But the annual salary is also quite a lot, and it is still a three-year probationary period, 150,000 yuan in the first year, 200,000 yuan in the second year, 250,000 yuan in the third year, and 30 years after formal employment, plus bonuses. The annual salary of the two assistants is pitiful, only 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, of course, it is much higher than their salary in Memai Law Firm.

Hao Like took another assistant to help Li Mo fight the lawsuit.

That's when the Jeffman came to greet and preside over the negotiations.

"Hello, Shelfman, hello, West Crane." Li Mo shook hands with them.

The two of them can't speak Chinese, but it doesn't matter, Hao Like and Li Mo will just meet, and the two have met Li Guangping again, and Li Mo is doing translation on the side.

After getting acquainted, Scheufman took Limer on another plane.

"Sevman, it seems like Los Angeles is not far from San Francisco, why don't you drive from Highway 1?"

"Li, it's not too far, but it's not close, and it takes seven or eight hours to drive fast."

"I've heard that Highway 1 is beautiful."

"I see...... The scenery on both sides of Highway 1 is indeed beautiful, but listen to my advice. If you want to visit Highway 1, next time I will arrange for a skilled driver to take you there. ”

"Why?"

"Some sections of Highway 1 are dangerous, with cliffs on one side and the sea on the other, which is prone to accidents. Lee, your safety is important to you, and even more important to us. ”

It's not as scary as Hoffman suggests, but there are a few sections of Highway 1 that are a bit dangerous. But Xie Fuman is really kind, not good, he resigned from Meimai Law Firm, and his annual salary is equivalent to more than doubled. But this annual salary is pinned on Li Mo's safety and gradually holds up the business empire. If something happened to Li Mo, who would pay him this money?

Then take a plane.

Before the plane took off, Xie Fuman took the big brick, talked to Hao Like on the phone, and handed it to Li Mo, Hao Like said loudly on the other side of the big brother: "Li, you can rest assured to do your thing, we have won this lawsuit." ”

These two lawsuits are rip-off lawsuits.

Li Mo got evil, took out a lot of money, and hired two nationally famous barristers in the United States, a very famous barrister in the United Kingdom, plus more than a dozen other lawyers, to form a vast group of lawyers.

Not only him, but Paramount, Universal and Warner Bros. are not happy either, we are here to prepare for the start of filming, you BBC don't want to blackmail, won't it affect our box office when the time comes?

Bantam Books is not happy either, and besides, the boss behind them is the Germans, can the Germans be of the same mind as the British company?

The three parties joined forces to sue the BBC for defamation in the UK, resulting in a total loss of $196.32 million.

How is this loss calculated? Li Mo said Meng.

It is still a loss calculated by more than a dozen lawyers, including the loss of the movie box office, the loss of movie derivatives, the loss of book sales, and the three parties are talking to Marvel about the comic book adaptation, and it has also stopped, of course, it has to be counted as a loss.

As a result, this sky-high compensation came out.

Subsequently, O'Melveny & Myers formed more than 1,000 Chinese and co-signed a lawsuit against the BBC for racial discrimination.

The front is ripping, and the back really allows O'Melveny to find a lot of evidence. This is the unconscionable and timid of Chinese Americans, otherwise if 10,000 people sign it, the BBC will be dizzy this time.

The plane landed in San Francisco and had not yet reached its destination.

The final destination is Stanford, a very small city on the edge of San Francisco's Grand Bay.

Montgomery Bode and James Merio have already arrived.

The purpose of this time is to take a stake in Cisco.

Li Mo asked Hollick to keep an eye on the company, and at the end of last year, that is, ten days ago, even Bosak resigned and joined Cisco full-time, and Cisco began to issue shares internally.

Hao Lick knows that maybe Cisco's new products have been developed similarly, and allotment is also necessary, especially for high-tech companies like this, if they want to retain high-end talents, they must allotment shares. Including Li Mo, if he develops a similar company by himself in the future, he will also take out a part of the shares to retain talents.

Li Mo was afraid that the Bossaks would not feel sorry for the shares in their hands, so they arbitrarily distributed the shares to the subordinates and technicians he had hired, so he asked Hao Like to immediately start the negotiation plan.

Bode and Merio greeted him with a smile.

Li Mo's bonus has not yet been paid.

This negotiation was negotiated in the form of a three-party entry into Cisco, the Hallses Fund, the Coroford Fund, plus Li Mo himself, the Posacks did not mind, in their minds, maybe the two funds have some shareholders, Li Mo is only a major shareholder, this form of tripartite negotiation appeared.

In fact, the negotiations are almost underway.

The conditions of the main Li Mo were too generous, too generous for the Bossacks to refuse.

At the beginning, Mr. Suffman offered to buy half of Cisco's shares for $5 million.

This sky-high price frightened the Bossaks, but everyone was the same, and the Bossaks made some demands.

And then there is today's agreement.

The three parties jointly injected $4.6 million into Cisco, with the Howles Fund holding 24 percent, the Coroford Fund holding 17 percent, Li Mo personally holding 3 percent, and the Posacks holding 47 percent, and the remaining shareholders diluted their shares to a little over 4.5 percent, and a few 4.0 percent of the shares were left behind to hire various talents, including CEOs.

The fund in Xiangjiang is a shell company for the time being, otherwise Li Mo will let the Tang fund company in Xiangjiang further confuse the public. There is also a fund, the Mozi Fund, but this fund will be regarded as a pure public welfare fund in the future, and there is no need to enter it.

Unlike Li Mo's entry into Microsoft, this time Li Mo retains all rights and interests, including voting rights, and the right to be a director of the future board of directors. In addition, the difference is that the money Li Mo gave to Microsoft is basically regarded as dividends, or Bill Gates has the foresight to take out part of it as funds and operating funds. This time, Li Mo came over and only took out 10% of the funds for dividends, and the remaining 90% was used for R&D, or operation and expansion.

Several parties signed one after another.

The Posacks breathed a sigh of relief.

If it wasn't for Bossak, the actual five million dollars for half of the shares was also very favorable, but his wife had to fight, which made Bossak's heart tremble, and he was afraid that the three stupid fat sheep would be scared away by his wife.

What's the contention? It's a controlling stake.

If Hollick really wiped his face, even if Lerna was very unconscious, she would have to agree in the end.

In contrast, Cisco began to officially operate immediately, and in 86 years, Cisco's revenue reached more than two million US dollars, and its net profit was 890,000 US dollars. Not only is the net profit ratio very low, but wages, bonuses, taxes, and mainly the cost of expanding production, and when these huge costs are deducted together, it also makes a net profit of tens of thousands of dollars, which can be imagined as its future.

In this case, in order to expand financing, the couple has found more than 70 venture capitalists, but still none of the venture capitalists have taken a fancy to them, or put forward conditions that they cannot accept, so the Metasequoia Fund entered. But the valuation is only more than 10 million US dollars, and the management rights of the couple have been taken away.

A year later, at least Cisco is still somewhat present, a little bit of something that can be handled.

What can Cisco have now? Nothing!

Of course, no one really takes the concept of the Internet seriously. Let's say it in a nutshell, 80 years in the United States is the oil age, Exxon and Mobil. In 81, the market value of Kodak Camera Company began to rise. The rise of General Electric in '82. In 83 and 84, oil was king. In 85 years, IBM's market value approached 100 billion, which was proud.

No one would have paid attention to Cisco at all, otherwise there would not have been a story of Bosack hitting his nose in front of more than 70 VCs in a row.

Li Mo also thought repeatedly that he had to forcibly obtain the holdings, and the Possacks would not refuse, but the wife of Bosak was too unconscious, in case she got angry in the future and left the company early, this mess would really become a mess.

Let's help it up first, this couple, from the future venture capital headache...... Why are there still VCs coming in? This is inevitable, otherwise it will be difficult to let Li Mo operate, and it will be difficult to go public. The meat is too fat, and I can't eat it alone.

And with so much equity in his hands, venture capital comes, the conditions are harsh, and he has every right to refuse. Besides, with so much money brought in by itself, Cisco is not short of funds for operation and expansion.

The five major shareholders, Mr. and Mrs. Bosak also divided the shares, which are considered two shareholders, Li Mo's shares are small, but they all understand, there must be Li Mo's shares in the two funds, sit down and negotiate.

That's a lot of money.

After deducting the 460,000 US dollars in dividends, there are more than 4 million US dollars, where to spend it, the Bossacks are a little at a loss.

Li Mo said unceremoniously: "Mr. Bosak, I think you have to hire a professional CEO. ”

In their previous lives, the baby couple didn't ask the CEO well, gave the CEO shares, gave the CEO money, and made a mess of Cisco. Looking at the couple who were a little confused, Li Mo wanted to complain, you can be said to be the founders of the worst business empire in history......

Li Mo has been thinking about Lerna's future profligate wreckage, as well as all kinds of indisputability. In fact, objectively speaking, it can be understood that people are people in the academic world, not people in the business world......

“CEO？ Lee, do you have a good candidate? Posack asked.

"I have a candidate, Ballmer from Microsoft."

"That won't work," Lerna cried sharply. (To be continued.) )
