Li Mo also knew that there was a problem, but the weaker side was not himself, but the bantam. Besides www.biquge.info with the popularity of this book, the score is so low, Li Mo doesn't need to worry.

Hao Like was so idle that he got a high salary, and he had to prove his value to his employer, and he drafted a perfect new contract for Li Mo, and the division could not be moved, but everything else was perfected. Li Mo looked at it and said, "Okay, you can use this contract to negotiate with Bantam Book Company." ”

"Lee, there are a few European book companies that want to take the rights to their books......"

"Isn't Bantam Books part of the German Bertelsmann Group?"

"Although the Bertelsmann Group has a number of publishing houses in Europe, the languages are different and they have to be translated before they can be published. Is it a license, or is it a continuous share? If it is a royalty share, how much? If it hangs on the Bertelsmann tree, it is not conducive to price negotiations. ”

"Hao Lick, you can do it. But remember one sentence, just moderate, I am a Chinese after all. ”

Hao Like wants to say, why not emigrate. But Li Mo made it very clear in the United States that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, so he had to sigh and say: "Li, I checked Microsoft's account books. ”

Li Mo handed over the voting rights to Bill Gates, which is equivalent to quitting the management, but it is not that he has no rights at all, as the third largest shareholder of the company, the company's major moves, share changes, etc., must be notified to Li Mo.

Li Mo is not in the United States, so Li Mo's lawyer, that is, Hao Like, should be notified. Li Mo also has the right to view the accounts, which is very small for Microsoft now, otherwise Li Mo has the right to send a financial representative to supervise Microsoft's finances in the past.

It's also necessary, it's a little better this year, but next year, Microsoft's revenue will rise rapidly, and after letting it go, Li Mo will watch Microsoft give him a little reward.

"How are they financially doing?"

"The income is okay, but the expenses are huge, and the net income is very meager, this is their income and expenditure account statement...... Hao Like took out a few financial statements from his briefcase, handed them to Li Mo and said: "Li, I think your investment is still not cost-effective." ”

"Hao Like, you underestimate this company, they operate according to the plan on my few pieces of paper, and this investment may bring me thousands of times, or even tens of thousands of times the return in the future. You can be optimistic about the finances, the most important thing is to be optimistic about the shares for me, and you can't let them dilute my shares in a different way. ”

How big the return on this investment is, Li Mo knows very well in his heart. But you can't be careless, before the listing, the shares have to be kept, once listed, it is equivalent to regularization, and the shares are not much of a problem. However, with the rapid increase in Microsoft's market capitalization, will anyone force themselves to sell these shares? After cashing out, will they be able to smoothly bring this huge amount of money back to China?

"Li, will there be such a high return?"

In fact, in Limer's previous life, Bill Gates, in 96, saw that Microsoft's stock went crazy, and he was not confident. As a result, he continued to reduce his holdings and cash out every year, otherwise Bill Gates' assets could reach $270 billion at the peak of the micro-stock market capitalization. Even in 2000, when Internet stocks crashed, Bill Gates' fortunes were no less than $100 billion. But although Bill Gates has been on the list of the richest people for many years, his actual wealth has never exceeded 100 billion US dollars.

"I'm very optimistic about the prospects of this industry, please trust me here......" Li Mo pointed to his head.

"Well, what else do you want me to do?"

This is also too idle, so idle that Hao Like is embarrassed to take this annual salary.

"No, if you are asked to do it, it is to take advantage of the leisure in the past few years, read more legal books, and increase your knowledge. In 85 years, you'll probably be getting busier and busier. ”

"85 years?"

"Because in that year, there will be an explosion of technology on all sides of the computer involved, and one more thing...... It's about to come to light. You'll know when the time comes. ”

Wouldn't it be fast enough to make explosive advances in computer products?

Hao Lick was a little dazed.

In fact, Li Mo didn't tell the truth, and it was necessary to guard against one hand.

"Lee, why are you renting a house?"

The U.S. housing tax is indeed a bit much, and it is not as much as you think.

Each state has its own state policy, and the states with low housing taxes do not account for 1 percent, and the states with high housing taxes are only a few percent, and only a few states exceed 2 percent. In addition, it depends on their respective circumstances, in short, it is to kill the rich and help the poor, commercial houses and some luxury houses may levy a little more housing tax, and civilian housing will be taxed a little less. Moreover, a large part of the property tax in the United States is used for infrastructure construction and education appropriations in the city where the property is located, which is a burden and a welfare, and the more housing tax in the community, the better the community environment will be, and the better the quality of school education. It's up to each of them what they think.

When it falls on China later, it will indeed be a big thing, like a decent house in Kyoto's magic capital, with five or six million at every turn, and 60,000 or 70,000 yuan of housing tax a year, plus a mortgage. Half of the people can afford it, but they can't afford it. The property market will quickly pop and blow up like a balloon. So after the house tax was proposed, no one dared to enforce it.

With an American's income, this house tax can be afforded. I really can't do it, I have a car, why can't I buy a remote house, I can buy a decent house for 100,000 dollars, and I can't pay the house tax for 1,000 dollars?

In this regard, Li Mo's thoughts are very fair, where people have strengths, they have to admit it, and they must not talk nonsense. In other words, housing prices and housing taxes in the United States are generally more reasonable than those in China later than in China.

In addition, rents in the United States are really expensive, so despite the relatively high housing tax, there are still many people who invest in real estate. Although the United States is not like China, you don't have a house, and I won't marry my daughter to you, but rich people generally buy houses instead of renting houses, and the rent is pressing, and renting a house is even less cost-effective.

"I'm asking someone to buy it," Li Mo said, there are people who sell houses, but there are not many who meet Li Mo's conditions, Lao Du is asking someone to inquire.

After Li Mo finished speaking, he looked at the two green cards.

Last time, in order to get a visa for Li Mo and his son as soon as possible, he almost drove George crazy.

Li Mo had to apply for two green cards, which is not necessarily a good thing. With a green card, if there is a lot of money, maybe the US government will send someone to "reform" Li Mo at that time, and at that time, there will be some annoyance.

Lao Du finally found a house for Li Mo.

Li Mo got up early in the morning, there was a thick layer of hoarfrost on the weeds in the yard, Mrs. Su was bending down to pick up eggs, and when she saw Li Mo getting up, she praised again: "Li Mo, these two chickens of yours are really amazing, they lay eggs almost every day." ”

On April 10, 1987, the front page of the BJ Daily published a headline: "Today, BJ City People Have an Average of One Egg a Day."

In other words, after four and a half years, whether or not they can eat eggs from time to time is still an important indicator for Kyoto people......

Therefore, the old lady occasionally boiled an egg, put it in rice porridge, and gave it to Li Mo to eat, which made Li Mo very moved, you must know that the old lady herself was reluctant to eat it, and the rest was left for her grandson to eat.

Good people may not have good rewards, but when they meet Li Mo, it is different. Just like that TV, Li Mo saved hundreds of dollars for her youngest son.

Three years later, Mrs. Su's eldest son wanted to buy a color TV, at that time Li Mo was still studying in Chao City, after hearing about it, without saying a word, he immediately bought another color TV for him, and it was "very cheap". Later, Uncle Xiao Su was laid off, and in desperation, he found Li Mo again, so do you need to talk about it...... But that's been a long time.

When Li Mo came to school, Xiaopang whispered to him: "Li Mo, my dad is optimistic about a house, the location and environment are good, but it is a bit expensive." ”

"Oh?"

Li Mo values the location and environment, as for the expensive, he didn't care about it at all, where can it be expensive.

"My dad will take you over at noon. ”

"Okay. ”

At noon, Li Mo took Lao Du to the noodle shop, and Lao Du took him to see the house. The house is not too far from No. 1 Middle School, but it is a little far from the Su family, the Su family is in the southeast of No. 1 Middle School, and this house is in the northwest of No. 1 Middle School, which is gratifying and closer to the city center.

There were seven houses, four on the top and three on the bottom, not the size of the three houses below, but one of them that had been converted into an aisle, and behind it was a large compound where six or seven families lived.

Lao Du explained: "I have inquired, these families have jobs and are not idle. ”

If we are not idle, we will not produce social idleness.

Lao Du said embarrassedly: "Xiao Li, the house is okay, but the house is expensive, and the owner has to ask for more than 11,000 yuan, so I pressed it for a long time and only let a few hundred yuan." Isn't this broken house a money grab?"

Li Mo was amused.

He just went in and saw that the rooms of the houses in the city are not big now, seven houses, the actual area is only about 110 square meters, of course, in the hands of the developer, in terms of construction area, that is not good, maybe you can calculate a 1780 square meters.

But there is one, it is a façade house, the door is a street, this house will definitely be demolished later, this area, this geographical location, plus the façade room, what's the matter, but also to compensate for a 300 square meter house. Even if the house price is not good after the nest market, it is a hundred times the income.

Looking at this house and thinking about its future income, Li Mo wanted to bring back the money from the United States, and did nothing, so he sent people to Modu and Kyoto to buy houses, and then while collecting rent, he waited for them to rise, and he couldn't bear any risks.

"That's it, Uncle Du, can you do me another favor?"
