Chapter 10 A Visit to Hong Kong
Heinie, who arrived in Beijing on an international flight, stepped out of the airport and covered the sun with his hands to take a look at the country demonized by the West. At a glance www.biquge.info there are few high-rise buildings and very little traffic on the driveway, but the air here is much fresher than in New York.
Greedily breathing in the fresh air, Henie hailed a taxi. It is impossible for the taxi driver to pass CET8, so it is inexplicable to face the address given by Henie when he gets on the bus.
However, due to the notice of the taxi company, "foreign friends" must be friendly and serve them wholeheartedly, so the taxi driver had to pull Hainie down, and the company was translated by the company's customer service staff before he knew that Hainie was talking about going to the US Embassy.
In the end, Heini finally arrived at the U.S. Embassy in China, where he came to file a record, and hoped that the embassy would provide a translator or help find a translator for himself.
After finding a translator, Heini gave him the task of contacting the developers of the PalmFun operating system. Liu Si waited for the phone on October 8, the National Day just passed, but fortunately, the interpreter was Chinese, and Liu Si talked with him very smoothly.
However, Hei Ni still had to go back to Du Jiabin's way, and it was 3 days later when Hai Ni arrived at the stone pillar.
It was the third cousin who informed Liu Sihaini of the arrival, and he rushed to the school to inform Liu Si, while Liu Si was counting the time with his chin on his hand and waiting for the time to pass by minute by second.
Since the beginning of the first semester of the second year of junior high school, Liu Si has automatically chosen to lean on the back row, hoping to become less inconspicuous and make a little work out of the sight of his classmates and teachers for future leave.
The third cousin came to the outside of the classroom, and Liu Si, who saw it through the glass window, hurriedly walked out of the back door of the classroom, and did not attract the attention of other students, which is also Liu Si's purpose, it seems that it is very successful now!
"Sisi, there's a gringo named Heinie looking for you, and he called me. Now that you're drinking tea at home, you go and ask the teacher for leave to go back and have a look. ”
"Oh, thank you." Liu Sixi smiled, and finally waited, "Wait for me, I'll ask the teacher for leave!" ”
The head teacher is a very responsible teacher, I saw Liu Si go to the office to find him, he has wanted to talk to Liu Si for several days, but after class, this guy is not fast, he always can't touch this guy, and he doesn't know what he's busy with. This time, I was going to have a good talk with him, but when I heard that his relatives came to the school to look for him, and there was something very important at home, he reluctantly gave Liu Si a fake note.
"Sisi, you're naughty at school! You teachers are reluctant to give you a fake note for my sake. Tan Hong likes this nephew very much, especially since the beginning of this semester, not to mention his good grades, he actually found a job outside the school on weekends, and he doesn't need to be paid monthly salary at home.
The two chatted without a word on the road, and when they arrived at home, Liu Sicai really got to know Heinie, what kind of person this guy was touted by the media and CBM people.
This guy was a failed executive in his last life, but this time Liu Si believes that he will no longer be ordinary. However, Liu Si also hopes that CBM can give him a satisfactory basis for cooperation conditions, otherwise he will still insist on changing companies.
"Mr. Liu, when I see you, I know the definition of genius." Smiling, after the translator translated it to Liu Si, he continued: "On behalf of CBM, I sincerely hope to purchase Mr. Liu's Palmfun operating system. ”
"Buying the PalmFun operating system, no, no, I don't think CBM is IBM, I don't think I think Mr. Heney and CBM can buy this operating system."
Microsoft is just relying on Windows 3. 0 has a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars, and the Palm Fun operating system is comparable to Win3. 0 is several times better, so Liu Sike, who understands CBM, doesn't think it can come up with so much cash, even IBM doesn't necessarily have a lot of tormented book cash, except for Microsoft in the 21st century.
As soon as Haynie heard that the possibility of buying the Palmfun operating system was almost gone, but Liu Si did not completely say that he would not cooperate with CBM, so Hainie asked what he wanted to know, "How does Mr. Liu want to cooperate with CBM!" ”
"Mr. Heaney, I would like to receive an annual global exclusivity fee of $5 million, and CBM will be responsible for the production, sales and legal issues of the operating system, and the profits will be 55 percent."
"Mr. Liu, this is not reasonable, I think CBM should get at least 8% of the profit..."
"Mr. Henie, this is my bottom line, I will not bargain, we are engaged in business negotiations, not bargaining in the vegetable market."
Liu Si felt that his annual global exclusive agency fee of 5 million US dollars was very small, which was a concession to CBM's financial constraints, and it was also a way to grasp that if CBM abandoned the Palm Fun desktop operating system, there would only be one way left for bankruptcy for a long time, so he dared to give a bad example to you to allocate a plan to CBM.
"Alright! Sir, I have to give a phone call to ask CBM before I get back to you. ”
As a result, it was clear that CBM accepted Liu Si's conditions as Liu Si expected, and in the end, the contract was signed.
However, Liu Si has his own ideas about the signing of the contract. He decided to call his father and take his father to go for a walk abroad, of course, the main reason was that he was not 18 years old and could not handle an offshore company, so he had to fool his father and go to an offshore company in his name.
At the same time, he also thinks that the signing of the contract should be based on CBM and the offshore company to be handled, rather than CBM and Liu Si personally. One is that it is difficult to rely on only one person to produce an operating system, but it is very reasonable to use the company as a cover; Second, if the offshore company is the main body, it can avoid taxes.
There are many locations for offshore companies, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Bermuda, Seychelles, Samoa, Isle of Man, etc.
With the help of Haini, Liu Si, Liu's father and Haini quickly got a visa to Hong Kong with a translator. Hong Kong also handles offshore companies, but its tax system is more troublesome (Hong Kong-registered offshore companies need to pay taxes normally when they have business relations in Hong Kong), and it is impossible to achieve Liu Si's vision of not paying taxes, so Hong Kong is the first to exclude.
Hong Kong is an internationally famous free port, since the Black Monday, Asia's financial center has been transferred from Tokyo to Hong Kong, if it were not for the Asian financial crisis in 97, I want to come to Hong Kong to sit firmly in the Asian financial center.
Since Hong Kong was forcibly leased by the British by force, it is not undeniable that it has developed from a small fishing village into a bustling city with high-rise buildings and busy traffic.
Dad Liu, who just got off the plane, was a little dizzy, and Dad Liu looked at Hong Kong, which was full of high-rise buildings and busy traffic, and he was shocked. And Liu Si looked at the scene in front of him, and he felt that he was back in 2015, but there were fewer electronic devices.
The $5 million has been transferred from CBM to Haini's private bank account, and the contract will be signed as soon as Liu Si said that the offshore company is handled.
But now there is no hurry, Liu Si decided to find an accounting firm or company for offshore companies tomorrow to see the situation.
