Chapter 54 Establishment of Research Institutions (Part II)
Two days later, lawyer Ranson flew to Palo Alto, and Ranson not only brought the contract documents that Pei Pei had requested, but also Mr. Li by the way.
At that time, Pei Pei was still doing real work in the research room, and when she received a call from the old man, she said that she had arrived at the apartment, and asked her granddaughter to come back quickly, and by the way, explain to him what the research institute was all about! Peipei, who hung up the phone, said that she didn't plan to hide it from her family anyway, so the old man would come.
After greeting her mentor, Dr. Duma, Pei Pei packed up her things and hurried back to the apartment.
When I opened the door of the apartment, I saw the old man sitting on the sofa in the living room with a stern face, watching TV absentmindedly. Lawyer Ranson sat with him and watched the unknown Wen Jiàn.
"Grandpa, why are you here, miss me?" The little girl sat down next to the old man with a shy smile, and put her arm around her grandfather.
"Don't be coquettish! It's useless to be coquettish! You explain to me what the hell is going on! "The old man didn't eat Pei Pei's set at all, and still kept a straight face.
Pei Pei was not stunned at all, and said to the old man with a smile: "Grandpa, I can't finish talking about this for a while, you just came from the plane, sit down and rest for a while, and I'll make you tea." Let's drink tea and talk slowly! After saying that, the little girl went to the kitchen, first made a pot of Tieguanyin for the old man, and then prepared a cup of coffee for the lawyer Lansen, and then came out with a tray.
After bringing the coffee to Uncle Ranson, Pei Pei poured tea for the old man in a teapot, and then slowly explained her thoughts.
After listening to his granddaughter's idea, the old man's idea was the same as Dr. Duma's initial concern, that is, the problem of funds.
"How much money do you have to toss you like this, let me warn you first, your daddy has been busy with Kangmei's listing recently, don't use your brains to ask for money from your daddy! Tell me that your research is burning money! The old man grimaced and doubted his granddaughter's thoughts.
"Don't worry, don't ask your family for money! Don't I have the dividends of Kangmei before, that money is tens of millions, if you want to say that it is impossible to make a big scene at the beginning, you can still try it if you make a small fuss or something. When Kangmei goes public in the future, then there is no need to worry about the financial problems behind, my dividends are enough to support the scene. Pei Pei replied confidently.
"Shhhh No wonder you raised your hand on the board of directors so refreshingly! It turned out that this brain was moved! With your current dividends of tens of thousands, is it enough to buy land, build a house, and hire someone? Not to mention the scientific equipment! I said, girl, don't be whimsical, you can get something that hasn't been researched by any state agency? Could it be that you still want to win the Nobel Prize in Science? ”
The old man sneered, took a sip of tea from the cup, and continued: "I'll sue you now, I don't care how you spend the dividends in those accounts that were distributed to you before, but after Kangmei goes public, don't want to spend the dividends of your shares casually!" Before you reach the age of 21 and become an adult, you will have to get the consent of your family to spend this money! ”
"Grandpa-" The county lord screamed miserably, puffing out her cheeks and looking at the old man, "Private property is inviolable!" This is my right under the Federal Constitution! Old man, don't know how to break the law! ”
"Don't talk to me about the federal constitution, I'm not your father! What will he tell you about equal communication, I won't! The old man smiled and looked like a scoundrel, and said: "You were born to your father, and your father was born to me!" Your father doesn't dare to choke on me when I decide! I'll sue you now, wait until you're 21 years old and talk to me about private property or not, and Ranson happens to be on the side, so you can either go to him and sue me now. ”
Ranson heard it on the side, and hurriedly picked up the coffee and lowered his eyes, pretending to be attentive to read the text!
Her grandfather played such a scoundrel with her, Pei Pei had no choice but to do so, and she hung her head in frustration and began to think of countermeasures.
After a while, the little girl seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, only to see her raise her head and say to the old man seriously: "Grandpa, let's do this, I promise your request, before I turn 21 years old, I will not use Kangmei's shares after listing, but you must also give me a guarantee: First, the family is not allowed to oppose and cannot interfere in the affairs of the investment research institute!" Second, the dividends that have been distributed to my account are whatever I want, and no one in my family can interfere with how I spend this money! Third, if you agree to the above conditions, you must make a written commitment to me! ”
"Yes!" The old man agreed.
- With your current thousands of funds, you still want to invest in research institutes? I guess I can't even get some equipment! Forget it, the little girl doesn't believe in evil, let her toss, she will be honest if she tosses all the money in her hand! The old man thought in his heart.
After the old fox and the little fox reached an agreement, lawyer Lanson came on the scene and made the verbal agreement between the grandfather and grandson into a written agreement, and the grandfather and grandson signed each other, and the matter was considered to have reached a consensus.
After that, Ranson took out the employment contracts and confidentiality agreements that Pei Pei had asked for in the morning, and handed them to Pei Pei.
Pei Pei took these texts with a stinky little face, she understood this, the old man had planned it a long time ago, what was it to bluff her before, saying that the ultimate goal of so much was just to prevent her from using the dividends after Kangmei's listing, and the old man was not optimistic about her research institute at all, thinking that she would definitely lose all her money. Hmph - wait and see! The county lord said secretly.
Although there is only an initial capital of less than 10 million at present, what should be done is still to be done, and it happened that lawyer Lanson was here, so Pei Pei gave him carte blanche to be responsible for the registration of the institute.
After listening to Ranson, she decided to register the institute in the Silicon Valley High-Tech District, just half an hour's drive from Palo Alto, because it is a concentration camp for high-tech research institutes, has a reputation as a mecca for entrepreneurs, and enjoys various tax benefits.
After deciding on the registration place of the institute, she immediately contacted the real estate agent and began to look at office buildings everywhere in Silicon Valley, and found office space for the soon-to-be-established "Pell Institute".
After looking at the office building for a day, the county lord's mother was devastated, and it turned out that she really couldn't start a research institute with the current idea money in her hand! The land in Silicon Valley will cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars for a random building! The old factory building is quite cheap, but considering that she is engaged in a research institute, the research in the future is all top-secret patents, the security of the old factory is too unbearable, and then consult the security equipment, well, a high-tech set of security and anti-theft equipment, at least it will cost millions of investment.
In this way, it is impossible to start without hundreds of millions of funds in hand!
Peipei, who ran for a day in Silicon Valley, returned to the apartment, and when she opened the door, she saw her old man making tea and watching TV leisurely in her apartment.
Pei Pei saw the gloating look of her old man, and finally made a decision. She touched the jade jue on her chest, well, it seems that she has to fight the idea of the collection room, so let's find a few treasures from it and put them up for auction.
