Since Lin Wei went to Spain, all the travel arrangements for this trip were handed over to Schmidt of UBS. UBS helped book a direct business-class ticket to San Francisco, and the only entourage he brought with him was Demosa, who was getting more and more in shape.
From a lucky little lawyer on the island of Ibiza to now a barrister with an annual income of hundreds of thousands, Demossa seized the opportunity and refused to let go.
Even after a shooting and car accident that almost killed him in Indonesia, he did not regret it at all and served the tour wholeheartedly.
As the saying goes, hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans are educated, this sentence was first said to be lawyers, that is, they are lawyers.
They are well-versed in the law and are able to grasp any bit of loophole and make choices in their favor. At the same time, when their bottom line is getting lower and lower, it becomes a useful tool.
In Spain, Demossa found a lawyer for Gracia who had no bottom line than him, and now the lawyer named Sal has become Gracia's exclusive lawyer, helping GrΓ cia solve many legal problems, and has become well-known in the black society circles.
Now the lawyer, Sal, has helped Caneroga get out of prison on bail. With the help of a veteran like Caneroga, Gracia is now not only much easier, but also has a faster business.
This also relieved Zhou You of a lot of burden, and in recent times, he has rarely worried about Gracia's affairs.
In order to cope with the development of Zhou You, Demosa, a former commercial lawyer, is also actively studying international law, the law of the sea, and even the extradition agreement, personal injury regulations, and other legal provisions tailored for Zhou You.
From this point, Zhou You also took the importance of Demosa more and more seriously.
This time in the United States, he happened to deal with the affairs within the scope of Demosa's expertise, although the cross-border investment is not completely consistent with the commercial law he originally handled, but with him, Zhou You at least will not worry about being deceived by other lawyers.
It was the middle of the night when I returned to Singapore from Sandakan. Zhou You couldn't help but make love to Yan Fangqing, picked up a few thick clothes, and then left Singapore by plane.
After a fourteen-hour long voyage, the tour finally arrived at San Francisco International Airport in the early morning of the 15th.
After a good night's sleep on the plane, before getting off the plane, Zhou You washed his face in the bathroom and trimmed his beard.
Originally, he had short hair and a long beard, which was a bit similar to the image of Liang Jiahui in the cold war, but the O-shaped Hu kissed the child, and Long Long cried every time he kissed him, so he had to cut it into Johnny Depp's beard type.
When he got off the plane, Zhou You was still thinking, I don't know if Paris likes the current Hu type.
But it turns out that Paris, the chick, doesn't care what kind of beard he wears, and when she sees him, she throws herself into his arms, and wants to eat Zhou You in her stomach.
If it's in the night market, Zhou You doesn't mind making out with her, but in this crowded airport, he is really not used to it.
Especially this chick is famous, and her own fame is not small. If a reporter took a photo, wouldn't it make Yan Fangqing and Gracia have an awkward relationship with themselves!
While avoiding Paris's little mouth, he hugged Paris's legs, afraid that she would fall, and patted her little fart, stock. "Okay, I'll make love when we get to the hotel, there are reporters here."
Paris hugged Zhou You's face, forced him not to move, and gnawed on his lips before letting go of him. "Hmph, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of! It's been a long time since we've made out! β
Zhou You diverged and asked, "Have you contacted the lawyer I asked you to contact?" β
"Of course, it was my full-time lawyer, Mendel, who found me the best equity investment lawyer in Silicon Valley."
Seeing her expression that I have merit and is about to praise me, Zhou You couldn't help laughing. Pinching her little face, Zhou You introduced Schmidt to her, and as for Demosa, she had known her for a long time.
Google is still a small company and does not have its own headquarters, but only rents a floor near the headquarters of Hewlett-Packard in Stanford Industrial Park.
Originally, Schmidt was going to ask his colleagues at UBS in San Francisco to arrange a trip for them to stay at a Stanford hotel, but Paris was adamantly opposed, and she booked a room for them at the Hilton Mountain View and arranged a shuttle bus for the next few days.
Before they left the airport, they were targeted by reporters, and three paparazzi followed them to the parking lot, took countless photos, and drove a car to follow.
This made Paris quite dissatisfied, she prepared two cars today, just wanted to make out with Zhou You in the car, and now she is followed by the camera, and she doesn't dare to be presumptuous.
Paris drove over a red Bentley GT, which was the same model as the Bentley that traveled around the country, but the color was different.
In the United States, dark reflective film is not allowed on the front glass, so even if there are only two of them in the car, they don't dare to be too affectionate.
The car drove up 101 Avenue and headed south. "Originally, I was going to arrange you in this Hilton hotel outside the airport, but it is a little far away from Stanford, almost more than twenty kilometers, and finally I had to book the Hilton in Mountain View, but the level of that hotel is relatively low, and there are no suites."
Zhou You said with a smile: "I don't have high requirements for the conditions of accommodation, as long as I have you as a companion, I am happy to sleep on the grass." β
Zhou You rarely said such love words, and Paris listened to his confession, and her heart was almost drunk. "Why do you have to be here this morning, if we had arrived last night, we could have stayed one more night."
The two chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the Hilton Hotel on Camino Avenue in Mountain View.
The hotel is unremarkable, it should be a budget hotel with only four floors. But the area is quite large, the environment looks more warm, a little family hotel atmosphere.
As soon as Zhou You got out of the car, several foreign men waiting at the door of the hotel greeted him. Schmidt got out of the car first, walked to Zhou You and introduced: "Mr. Zhou, these are my colleagues in the United States, and they are the ones who operated the preliminary negotiations with Google. β
Zhou You didn't care about comforting Paris, who was a little dissatisfied at this time, greeted them, shook hands with them one by one, and then entered the hotel side by side.
This Hilton does not have suites with small meeting rooms, but it has deliberately opened up a few meeting rooms on the first floor, although the space is not large, but the environment is relatively warm.
Entering the conference room, the other party handed over the printed negotiation summary of the previous negotiations, so that Zhou You was familiar with their achievements, and then entered the formal topic.
Paris couldn't hold back the loneliness, so she sent Zhou You's luggage into the room, and then entered the conference room and sat next to Zhou You. "We only have one lawyer now, do we wait for the lawyer I hired to come over and then formally negotiate?"
Demosa also read the summary of their negotiations and said with a smile: "Now it's just our negotiation of the entrustment agreement with UBS, and this kind of commercial contract can be completed without the presence of an equity investment lawyer you hired." β
In fact, when Schmidt confirmed that the negotiations with UBS had progressed, Zhou You signed a brief entrustment contract with UBS's Singapore company, and now he has only signed a supplementary agreement with the UBS branch in San Francisco, which does not require the presence of a professional lawyer.
Under the agreement, Zhou You will pay 5 percent of UBS's underlying mandate, which is based on a $300 million valuation to Google. If UBS is able to negotiate the contract at a lower price, then there is a bonus for the excess amount.
However, Zhou You doesn't think that UBS can talk about it, and the two founders of Google are not ordinarily difficult, and they wiped out Sequoia when they raised money in Series A.
At first, after half a month of negotiations between Sequoia and Google, they said that their two founders had set a valuation of the company at 125 million and were ready to take 25 million US dollars to take 20 percent of the shares.
But Google then approached Perkins Perkins with the cursive script of the contract and said that Kleiner Perkins would also use this condition to raise funds.
In the end, they insisted on dividing the shares to be sold into two parts, each of which contributed 12.5 million yuan, accounting for only 10 percent of the equity.
The reason they did this was that they didn't want the giant sequoia to have too much influence in the company's decision-making.
For a company that can be of great help to them, they still have to use such methods, and for investors who can't help Zhou You, who can't help them at all, the other party's conditions will only be tougher.
Anyway, Zhou You has prepared a base code of 30 million, and it is best to be able to account for 10% of the shares. The reason why it is a share and not an equity is because Zhou You doesn't care about decision-making power at all, he is here to speculate.
Of course, if the other party is willing to give Zhou You a little more shares, Zhou You will also eat the order. Not to mention the lot, with less than 100 million funds, you can still afford to travel.
But if that time really comes, Zhou You will not come up with so much money at once, anyway, with UBS here, they will definitely be willing to give themselves a loan.
Since it was only a supplementary agreement, the negotiations went smoothly, and the two parties did not have too many differences at all, and the entrustment agreement was successfully signed.
After the contract was signed, Schmidt said: "We have made an appointment with the two founders of Google to meet at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so Mr. Zhou can take a break first, and in the afternoon, we will go to Google together." β
When he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Paris, of course the little girl Paris understood his eyes, and he was a little embarrassed, and Xia Fei cheeks.
Of course, Zhou You did not give in to him, and after returning to the room, he immediately entangled with Paris.
This time, he also took out eighteen kinds of martial arts, and completely turned this chick into a puddle of soft mud, so he let her go.
"Don't sleep yet, you hurry up and help me make an appointment with a lawyer, I have to meet with the other party at noon."
"Demosa...... I also know the phone, don't harass me...... I'm going to sleep. (To be continued.) )
