- Just do it if you think of it.
By the time Xiao Qi got home and coaxed Li Shaozhi and his daughter to sleep, it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, which happened to be 7 o'clock in the morning in California's Silicon Valley.
When I called him, Hoffman had already gotten up and was enjoying breakfast while watching TV.
"Haha, my friend, what are your orders?" Hoffman answered the phone with a smile.
He is in a good mood during this period. On the one hand, the companies he and Xiao Qi have cooperated with are developing very rapidly. On the other hand, because of these achievements, he has become the "Father of Silicon Valley" and "Silicon Valley". "The King of Networks", many entrepreneurs who are eager to get investment regard him as their entrepreneurial mentor.
It feels good to be sought after by others, especially since Hoffman himself likes the feeling of being an angel investor, so recently he has frequently appeared at various parties, dinners, and campus introductions, and his life has been very fulfilling. .
"Don't take your orders seriously. I have another good business to take care of you." Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"Say it!" Hoffman cheered up.
He has been called a genius since before, and Hoffman himself did not think there was anything wrong with it.
But every time others praised him, Hoffman felt a little embarrassed. Compared with Xiao Qi, who was constantly thinking and thinking, he was nothing!
Not to mention DreamPad, which created the era of smart electronics, it is also Xiao Qi¡¯s leading products such as airbnb, foursquare, dreamdive, photo sharing, etc. Which one is not a stunning idea?
By following Xiao Qi, Hoffman himself has earned more than 2 billion U.S. dollars in income, if future expectations are included. He can get at least more than 5 billion US dollars in income.
Who doesn¡¯t like money?
Even if Hoffman doesn¡¯t squander money lavishly, he still likes to have more and more money in his bag, because this proves his success.
"I want to make a taxi-hailing software"
Xiao Qi explained some of Uber¡¯s core concepts in full, and finally said: ¡°What do you think?¡±
"Thisif you insist on doing it, you will have to litigate frequently and get into the trouble of competing for interests." Hoffman is a smart man and saw the problem right away. Of course, he also saw business opportunities, "But if we can really solve those problems. This business can be comparable to airbnb! Did you design Uber based on airbnb's concept?"
"So be it!" Xiao Qi nodded.
In fact, Uber¡¯s original model is airbnb!
The founder of Uber in his previous life was inspired by the success of airbnb and started Uber in the taxi industry.
Airbnb allows ordinary residents to provide vacant houses for tourists to live in, and they do not have an operating license. It is also a business grabbing business from the hotel industry, just like Uber is grabbing business from the taxi industry.
Hoffman asked, "Why do you want to do such a wide-ranging business? Aren't you afraid of trouble?"
Xiao Qidao: "Because this can make money, is my reason enough?"
"enough!"
Hoffmann laughed.
indeed.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
How many people can build a $30 billion business in their lifetime?
Can earn a net worth of one to two billion. It was enough for Xiao Qi to invest. After all, Hoffman now saw that Xiao Qi was interested in these ideas. Just like a child, as soon as he figures it out, he wants to put it into practice immediately.
Therefore, he did not want to stop Xiao Qi, but wanted to ask Xiao Qi if he had thought through the difficulties.
"Don't worry, don't I still have a Mario Law Firm? If there are any disputes in the future, it will be easier to go to them." Xiao Qi said. "Besides, Uber touches a lot of interests in various countries. I won't be so stupid as to hold the shares in my hands and let others find fault. Strong partners are a must."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to let go of your shares one day." Hoffman said with a smile. Xiao Qi's "selfish" character has long been famous all over the world.
After joking for a while, Xiao Qi asked, "I will leave it to you to prepare for this matter. What experts need to be found, what algorithms should be used, and what preparations are needed. I will prepare a detailed plan for you in the next few days." Come here, can you put up the shelf in half a month?"
"no problem."
Hoffman and Xiao Qi have been working together for a long time. Of course, they know that "putting up the shelf" does not mean completing the work, but ratherDo the preparatory work well and leave the rest to professionals.
Basically, by that time, his mission is almost over.
One advantage of capitalist society is that everyone loves money and is not ashamed to use knowledge to make money. Whether you are a university professor or an eccentric genius, as long as you pay more, you have a great chance of being invited to work for you. .
Will Xiao Qi be short of money?
of course not!
Therefore, this team is easy to build. It only requires Hoffman to find a group of friends, and then through their introduction, select the most suitable candidates and negotiate with them about their salary.
At the same time, Hoffman also needs to rent office buildings and supplies to them in Silicon Valley, hire security guards, cleaning staff, etc., so that they can set up a shelf and start working as soon as they come over.
¡°Well, it¡¯s that simple.
"Help me register Uber. If no one uses this name, let it be." Xiao Qi said, "I am going to invest 500 million U.S. dollars in the first round. When they develop the software and test it, I will invest again." 1 billion US dollars for promotion. You can also help me prepare some marketing talents that can be used when the time comes.¡±
"good!"
"In terms of shares, I am going to give you 1% and 5% to the R&D team. These shares will not be diluted before listing, and the financing shares will come from me." Xiao Qi added.
"No problem." Hoffman smiled, "I'm the same as you. This kind of side business is not suitable for me. It's good to keep a little share."
Of course he has no dissatisfaction.
According to Xiao Qi¡¯s character, it is impossible to go public without a valuation of US$10 billion, so at least 1% of his is worth at least US$100 million. What¡¯s not satisfying about this?
The entrepreneurial team will not be unhappy, because Xiao Qi will not only give them 5% of the shares, but also Xiao Qi is very generous to his employees in terms of salary and remuneration. The highest salaries in Silicon Valley are currently in various Internet companies owned by Xiao Qi , the average salary is already close to that of executives of some small and medium-sized enterprises.
It is because of Xiao Qi's generosity and forthrightness that he has established a good reputation. The turnover of personnel in several companies is not large. Everyone works hard to achieve greater career and financial success. .
In some ways, Hoffman also felt that Xiao Qi was spending a small amount of money to do big things, and he didn't get much salary and benefits, so he asked employees to work hard for him, which seemed very strategic.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Qi put the matter aside for the time being.
Before Uber reaches a certain scale, it won't attract many people's attention. If it really wants to form a wave that sweeps across the United States, it should be half a year after Uber has been operating, plus their previous preparations and software development, etc., this The development and operation cycle is at least 9 months, so it is only at the end of the year that you need to pay attention again.
Of course, it doesn¡¯t mean that Xiao Qi will wait until something happens before he prepares.
In fact, after Uber is established, Xiao Qi will greet Mario Law Firm, explain Uber-related plans and possible legal issues to them in detail, and then ask the lawyers from Mario Law Firm to Plan and avoid these problems in advance, and be prepared to litigate with the government, taxi associations, and insurance associations.
Speaking of Mario Law Firm, with the large financial support of Xiao Qi and the efforts of Anthony and others, Mario Law Firm has become one of the top ten law firms in the United States, with more than 60 barristers under its umbrella. There are more than 300 general lawyers and more than 1,300 service personnel in various companies. It can be said that the scale is extremely large.
In addition, in the branches of Mario Law Firm in Europe and Asia, the number of various personnel has exceeded 300 and 200 respectively, and the expansion is still underway.
A large part of the reason why the main business of the United States has developed rapidly and its power and influence has expanded rapidly is that they have accepted various commissions from Fairy Company and often fought patent wars with other companies, or under Xiao Qi's To sort out the legal aspects of various acquisitions.
The most famous one is the patent litigation case with Google that started at the end of last year.
Xiao Qi spent so much money, and at least half of it was spent on Mario Law Firm. Anthony not only asked all the available barristers under him to come forward, but also hired a lot of independent barristers. It created such a huge momentum and oppressed Google so much.
By the time the cases within a few months were successfully concluded, these barristers practicing alone had already realized the benefits of having a backer and an organization, and many of them joined Mario Law Firm, thus further expanding Mario Law Firm.The strength of the law firm.
At the same time, because of the strong strength and financial resources shown in this patent litigation case, Mario Law Firm has once again gained a reputation, and its reputation is unparalleled for a while, which is another gain.
But this is not the limit of Mario Law Firm. When Uber¡¯s legal battle begins, Mario Law Firm will take off again! (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
