(.) Whether Lee Kun-hee had any intentions, Zhou Liwen is not clear, and judging from the agreement between the two parties, even if he knows about the situation of Corning in the United States and does not inform the or, Zhou Liwen cannot say anything.

The next morning, the news was confirmed. Sure enough, as Chambers reminded, Corning has made a breakthrough in large-screen touchscreen technology, and has begun small-scale production to supply Apple's IPAN project prototype testing.

"Can Corning supply products to OR?" Liao Yuancheng couldn't wait to ask, Bill nodded, and said with a relaxed expression: "This has been confirmed, and there is no problem in providing Corning in small quantities, but compared with Apple, Corning provides us with a much smaller quantity, and the price is more expensive." ”

"How much? How much does it cost? Liao Yuancheng asked.

Bill reported two figures, Liao Yuancheng thought about it and said: "This is no problem, the quantity is enough for the current demand of the R&D center, as for the price, it is more expensive, but we are mainly used to test the product, not directly put into production, so ......." ”

Speaking of this, he set his eyes on Zhou Liwen, who nodded and said, "Bill, you can arrange this matter and cooperate with the R&D center to solve it as soon as possible."

Bill smiled unexpectedly: "Of course, Corning can provide it within a week, and now it only needs to be a purchase agreement between the two parties and then pay, which is a very simple job." ”

"Hehe, that's good, that's good." Liao Yuancheng rubbed his hands together excitedly, and he couldn't wait to get Corning's latest product right away and dive into the lab to see how good the touchscreen was that gave confidence to Apple's IPAN project.

After chatting about this matter briefly, Bill and Liao Yuancheng were about to get up to say goodbye, but Zhou Liwen shouted to stop them.

"I'll tell you something." Zhou Liwen said.

Seeing that they looked at him inquiringly, Zhou Liwen smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "Please relax gentlemen, this is a good thing." ”

Bill raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, but Liao Yuancheng showed a puzzled expression, waiting for Zhou Liwen to continue.

"I have decided to list the OR company in the near future, and it is estimated that in a few days, Wells Fargo will send someone over, Bill, and the work of Wells Fargo will be in charge of you, and I will notify the heads of various departments to fully cooperate."

Bill instantly smiled, as the company's executive vice president, he was actually the CPO of OR when Zhou Liwen was not there, and when he joined OR, Zhou Liwen promised to give him a certain stock option, not only Bill, but also other personnel of the company, and even ordinary R&D personnel have an option reward system. And now, as the world's No. 1 smartphone manufacturer and an IT company with a system software platform store, its profitability is very strong, and it may not be as good as Nokia, which was once the first, in terms of overall scale, but in Bill's view, the gap between the two sides is not large, not to mention that the development prospects of OR are so good, once listed, he can expect that OR company will become a millionaire "maker" overnight, just like Microsoft at the beginning.

As for Liao Yuancheng, since he is a shareholder of OR, although there are no options, the benefits of going public are even greater for him than those of Bill's executives. It is conceivable that it is possible for his wealth to increase several times or even dozens of times overnight. Although Liao Yuancheng is a technician, unlike Bill's side, which focuses on management, the main focus is on the R&D center, but who doesn't like money? The opportunity to make a fortune like this is a dream.

Bill even whistled excitedly, and asked Zhou Liwen how many company shares he would take out as an option reward, and at the same time excitedly calculated the company's total share capital and the stock price projection after listing, to see how much wealth he could eventually have.

"The equity awards are going according to the original company plan, but it's going to be a little bit faster, and you're going to have to do that before the Wells Fargo comes in. As for the company's stake ratio, I estimate that it will be around 0%, and I think this figure should satisfy the employees of OR. Zhou Liwen told them with a smile, Bill was happy when he heard it, and praised with his eyebrows: "Boss, you are so generous, please rest assured, this matter is on me." ”

At this time, Bill already seemed to see billions of wealth flying towards him, so he almost learned the habit of Chinese and patted his chest to give Zhou Liwen a guarantee. However, Liao Yuancheng was a little surprised that Zhou Liwen suddenly took out 0% of the spoon shares as company shares, but given that Bill was on the side, it was difficult to ask about some words.

After Bill left, Liao Yuancheng asked Zhou Liwen worriedly, was it too much for him to take out so many company shares? As Liao Yuancheng, who knows the approximate proportion of Zhou Liwen's shares, has calculated that if this is the case, then Zhou Liwen's final share ratio will drop to 6% or more, which is equivalent to Zhou Liwen losing his absolute controlling stake in OR, whether this will affect the future development and operation of OR company, Liao Yuancheng is a little worried.

Regarding this problem, Zhou Liwen told him with a smile that he didn't have to worry, since the company was listed, there was no need for him to hold so many shares, it was better to motivate the company's employees and tie all employees to the same boat. What's more, there will be tradable shares in the market after listing, and from this point of view, their share ratio will also decline accordingly, not to mention 6%, or even 3% of the spoon equity ratio is enough to ensure Zhou Liwen's control of or.

Seeing that Liao Yuancheng still looked puzzled, Zhou Liwen smiled and took Microsoft's Bill and Apple's Jobs, and even Chambers and others as examples to prove the correctness of what he said. Hearing this, Liao Yuancheng was a little relieved, but he also asked: "What if one day in the future, someone gets a similar proportion of equity and drives you to give up the position of chairman?" ”

Zhou Liwen said very relaxedly: "The key to the company's listing is the company's profit, and shareholders are considering whether they can lead the company to wealth, and they will not pay attention to who is sitting in this position." If I have this ability, even if I only have 0 shares, I can still serve as chairman, but if I lose this ability, even if I continue to sit in this position, what is the use? ”

This sentence made Liao Yuancheng completely understand Zhou Liwen's thoughts, he nodded in understanding, and then said goodbye and left.

But when Liao Yuancheng left, Zhou Liwen, who was still full of confidence just now, and Zhou Liwen, who was in his chest, became a little dignified, in fact, he was a little helpless to do this in his heart. He thought a lot last night, full of the matter of listing, and finally he finally made this decision, since your capital needs to be evenly interested, then he simply played this method of interest equalization to the end, first using the company's options to distribute shares and company employees, in order to dilute himself, including the equity ratio of all other shareholders, and also share his own risks. In this case, whether it is Chambers or Wells Fargo, if you want to increase capital and shares, you must take into account the interests of shareholders.

This is also a kind of game rule, which can be regarded as a way that Zhou Liwen learned in the American capitalist society.

A few days later, the rich country first sent a manager-level person to negotiate with Zhou Liwen about the company's listing, and the two sides exchanged views in a relatively harmonious atmosphere. According to Wells Fargo's tentative plan, they evaluated the OR company, which is currently valued at $8 billion, and recommended that the OR company sell 2% of its shares and raise about $2 billion in a public offering.

In this regard, Zhou Liwen refused, he told the rich country side that the proportion of 2% spoon shares is too high, and judging from the operation of the OR company, there is no need for so much fundraising funds. According to the internal calculations of the OR company, only about 3% of the shares can be sold at most.

The rich country side was not surprised by Zhou Liwen's answer, and the other party was not angry, but patiently told Zhou Liwen the benefits of selling 2% shares, and also took out a series of business data for the OR company to confirm that the 2% share ratio they proposed was calculated in detail, not to mention that even if 2% of the spoon shares were sold, it would not affect the normal operation of the entire OR company, and for Zhou Liwen, the actual controller, not only could he make a huge amount of money in the IPO sale, And it was also able to make the value of the remaining shares in his hands skyrocket.

But no matter what the other party said, Zhou Liwen just shook his head and didn't agree. In the end, the meeting reached an impasse, and the rich country side could only end the meeting under the pretext of going back and making plans again, and hoping that Zhou Liwen would consider their proposal.

"It's me John" After the people from Fuguo left, Zhou Liwen called Chambers.

"How's the talk with the rich country?" Chambers asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"An idiot came, and I drove him away." Zhou Liwen said very politely.

Chambers was stunned, and he hesitated, "How come?" ”

Zhou Liwen didn't explain much, and said bluntly: "John, you help me bring a word to the Fuguo side, it is absolutely impossible for me to directly sell 2% of the spoon shares to raise shares, my bottom line is at most 5 Of course, for the sake of your face, I can agree to Fuguo to join the board of directors of OR and give them 0% spoon shares." But this is a premise, I don't need money, I want my 0% spoon shares very simple, let Wells Fargo exchange their shares, as long as the valuation is right, I will sign

(Ask for votes!) All kinds of begging!)
