After staying in the capital for nearly a week, after finishing the business at hand, Gu Mojie flew back to Qiantang again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as he got off the plane, it was already night, and he immediately heard two wonderful news.

Feliro had collected it for him.

Google Legal Director David. Drummond issued a strong statement that Google would not accept any search results censorship that went further than the current status quo. ”

Although this sentence is not as strong as the original history of January 13, 2010, "Google will remove all harmonious censorship", it is already quite deterrent.

You can imagine how annoyed and angry the domestic bigwigs are at the moment.

Google is also trying to solve the problem through diplomatic pressure. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she would discuss the issue with her Chinese side in a recent phone call. ”

This is to put pressure on China as an ordinary small third world country.

Gu Mojie couldn't help but ask Feliro to open the champagne.

"Come on, don't run away today. Sister Xiaoru, you also stay and have a meal with us. ”

Fei Liluo personally took out two bottles of champagne from the basement cellar, and Gu Mojie, Lu Wenjun, Fei Liluo, and Ye Minru sat around and had dinner together on the Zhuxi Trail.

"Sister Fei, do you think the progress of Google's legal affairs is in time? When are we going to talk to Larry Page about that 'big business'? ”

"It is estimated that it will take more than half a month for the situation to ferment to the point where it is completely out of control. But let's talk about it first, can you be prepared? ”

Gu Mojie was a little uncomfortable: "Larry Page doesn't think I'm calculating him?" If you're not dead yet, talk to him about the inheritance......"

To this, Feliro replied with great conviction: "Aren't all Americans like that?" Chinese force their parents to make wills before they die, and the elderly will still be unhappy. American children ask their parents to make wills, and they still think that the children are sensible and know that they are prepared.

I'll take care of my words and let them know that we're thinking about them: 'in case' Google China has three longs and two shorts, we can also help them reduce their losses. ”

Gu Mojie smiled awkwardly and stopped dwelling on this issue. Sometimes, he really hasn't turned a corner about the difference between China and the United States.

Although enough of dealing with the Americans over the years.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and since Fei Liluo can figure out the twists and turns inside, then do what Fei Liluo said.

"You understand the situation as well, recently there has been with David. Is Radmond in touch? ”

Felilo: "I've always been in touch, and I've been communicating by phone and email. I've laid out everything that should be foreshadowed, and if I want to talk about the details, I can do it in a few days. ”

Gu Mojie was very pleased.

David Radmond is one of the leading in-house counsel for technology-based companies in the U.S., having worked for Google since '98. Wilson, the top intellectual property law firm in Silicon Valley. Godric. Rossetti has been practicing law for more than 20 years.

Fei Liluo is only 26 years old, and she has only been in the legal industry for six or seven years, including the number of years she has graduated from graduate school and her aunt. If you change platforms, it's still a quasi-budding newcomer.

It can only be said that the times create heroes, and with the awesome boss, his subordinates have a big enough stage to grow.

David Radmond's 20-year reputation in Silicon Valley will soon disappear with the collapse of Google China. One wrong legal judgment is enough to bring shame on a lifetime of work.

"Cheng, then arrange it, I will fly to the United States in the next few days." Gu Mojie said, drinking the champagne in the glass.

Feliro understated a glass of wine and said lightly: "You have to go, not just to collect the corpse of Google China." Even on the ILM side, there are still many things that you need to go to the United States to break the decision. ”

"What happened to ILM? Hasn't it been working well lately? Gu Mojie was picking up his fork and picking up the salmon roll, and after listening to Felilo's words, he stopped. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered a few time nodes, "You mean, the matter of Industrial Light and Magic's relocation back to China will be implemented in the near future?" ”

The acquisition of ILM was implemented in early June. After the transfer of internal management power, Gu Mojie has not cared about his operation for four or five months.

Half of the motivation for the acquisition at that time was to really need this special effects company in the future, to join Hatsune's original business layout, and to improve Hatsune's position as "the world's No. 1 special effects in all fields from animation to live-action films";

The other half is to fight with Jiang Gongzi's equity and create good news to raise the stock price. Because of the later rout of Jiang Gongzi and Goldman Sachs Capital, Industrial Light and Magic is actually equivalent to Gu Mojie's white fishing, and he didn't pay much attention to it after he got it.

Men are like this, what is too easy to get their hands on, they are not as cherished as they have worked so hard to find.

Top film special effects companies often take more than half a year or even a whole year to do special effects for Hollywood's highest-matching blockbusters. Therefore, in the first 5 months after the acquisition, Gu Mojie didn't care, and it was no big deal - the list of businesses that Industrial Light & Magic had received before it was acquired was enough for Industrial Light & Magic to be busy for half a year.

It is not until now, when the old business is gradually closed, and the new business is not as good as before the acquisition, that the problem is slowly exposed.

Regarding Gu Mojie's heartlessness, Fei Liluo could only smile bitterly.

"That's just one aspect, now the old business has been almost done, there is just a window period, you can relocate, and by the way, adjust personnel. On the other hand, Christopher Nolan's "Inception" is scheduled to start shooting from July to November - at the end of this month, the filming will be completed and post-production.

The preferential conditions offered to you by the General Administration are that 'Legendary Pictures and other Hatsune original films, if more than 50% of the production cost is completed, taxed, and employment opportunities are provided in China, they can be regarded as domestic films and enjoy the protection of domestic film schedules'.

If you don't move ILM back this month, do you expect "Inception" to be released in the summer next year? Just rely on your foreign film, and you still want to compete for prime time with Feng Xgang's politically correct "xx big xx"? ”

was counted down by Fei Liluo's kindness, Gu Mojie couldn't raise his temper at all, so he could only be petty by Sister Fei.

Maybe that's why he bit it to death and didn't marry Felilo.

Seeing that Gu Mojie acquiesced, Feliro continued to analyze:

"And the problems with ILM don't stop with relocation. A while ago, I learned a little bit that since ILM was acquired by us, two of the eight major publishers are ready to withdraw from the business, and we may not be asked to do special effects in the future. Americans also have local protectionism and self-esteem, and not everyone is happy to have special effects from Chinese companies in their films, and even consumers are not willing.

This time, we have to rectify the business channels of ILM. Don't look at its reputation, it has not made much profit in the past few years, and the cost of raising people and R&D costs are too high. ”

Everything Fei Liluo said is true, after all, Industrial Light & Magic is a 30-year-old company, and there must be a bloated organization. In addition, it was originally the world's first special effects, and many of the technologies that have been explored have no reliable research and development costs. The hundreds of engineers are all technical experts with an annual salary of at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there are also a lot of millions of annual salaries.

If it weren't for this, in 2012, Lucasfilm would not have taken the initiative to sell ILM to Disney.

This thing has always been very cool to earn fame and coffee positions, but it's not very good at making money. When the eight major distribution companies are looking for you to take over the job, you can have a profit margin of more than ten per a year. If you withdraw from two major customers, you will immediately have a tight income and expenditure.

Gu Mojie's original intention was to earn a reputation for coffee and lay out the layout by the way. But you can't just let ILM lose money when you get it.

"Then it's all as you said, tomorrow night's plane. Fly to Los Angeles to inspect Inception and ILM, and then you connect with David Radmond. After the 10th, I'll go to San Francisco and talk to Larry Page in person. ”

Ye Minru immediately called to book a plane ticket when she heard the sound.

Feliro asked, "Do you have anything to do during the day tomorrow?" ”

Gu Mojie thought for a while: "My cousin has been asking me to come back and go there, and he will talk to me about the follow-up investment in Chen Qi." It has been more than two months since the launch of the 'Chujian Wallet', and the drainage of e-commerce has been a 'mushroom street' so far, and it can't be completely ignored. ”

"Then you are busy yourself, after taking care of Mushroom Street, I will fly to Los Angeles with you tomorrow night."

……

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Gu Mojie rushed to the company, handed over his cousin Zhou Lixin to the office to chat a few words, and asked about the promotion status of "Chujian Wallet".

The wallet has been online for more than two months, and as originally expected, it is still dominated by Hatsune's "store owners" and game users, and in early November, there are more than 40 million users.

It can only be said that it is decent.

After chatting about the wallet, Zhou Lixin asked casually: "Do you want me to call Chen Qi to come and report?" ”

Gu Mojie thought for a while: "No need, why don't we go over and see for ourselves." Mushroom Street has been open these days, and I haven't been to inspect him yet, so it's a bit too much like an investor. ”

"It's okay, anyway, it's on Tianmu Mountain Road, and you can get there at the past two intersections. This point is not commuting and not blocked. ”

"Then you lead the way."

Five minutes later, Gu Mojie and Zhou Lixin were in the same car, sitting in his Maybach, and went straight to Mushroom Street. Chen Qi already knew a day in advance that he was going to meet with investors today, so the preparations had already been made.

His company is located in the "Sky Building" at the intersection of Yugu Road and Tianmu Mountain Road, which is a new office building built this year. The appearance of the building is very designed, like an ordinary tube building, which was suddenly cut in half by a large pair of scissors, and then one side was tilted outward and half pulled, and it looked like a book standing there with a spine facing the ground, and the pages of the book were opened casually.

At first glance, this posture is very much in line with the atmosphere of the office of a design company and a fashion company.

Chen Qi personally went downstairs to greet him.

"Mr. Gu, welcome to inspect Mushroom Street." (To be continued.) )
