Chapter 50 madeinChina
Larsson raised his wine glass and had several drinks with Li Dongling. This time, he got half of the compensation, which was a full nine million US dollars.
Now is the era when the U.S. dollar is the strongest. It is an absolute hard currency all over the world. Like Lao Maozi in the financial collapse, there are still many chaotic areas where the U.S. dollar is in circulation. In addition to the U.S. dollar, the locals Except for this, other currencies are not recognized.
Now, even a middle-class family in America earns only more than 20,000 US dollars a year. Larson’s income is equivalent to that of a middle-class family in America. Drink three hundred and seventy-five years of income!
As a vulture lawyer, he can make a lot of money by fighting big lawsuits, but it is a small probability event to claim tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars from those big companies. Otherwise, I really think that those big companies will spend huge amounts of money. Could it be that the legal team formed by King and the public relations expenses spent every year on Capitol Hill and state and city councilors were just a show-off? !
This time, Larson fought a lawsuit for Tanglin High-tech. In just two months, he earned nine million U.S. dollars in real money, which was more than he earned last year. This year, in America, Barristers, lawyers who can earn tens of millions a year, are only a handful after all.
Not to mention, this time it was Microsoft that won. Tanglin High-Tech gained fame mainly from mainland China, port cities and Southeast Asia, and Larson also gained fame.
With the reputation of winning the Microsoft lawsuit, Larson will not be short of lawsuits in the future. When small companies go to court with big companies, Larson is probably the first one that comes to mind. He really made a lot of money this time, how could he not be excited!
Looking at Larson, who had become drunk after several glasses of wine, Li Dongling calculated the benefits of coming to America. The biggest benefit was, of course, winning the lawsuit and cleaning up Dongling. The dirty water on Gao Ke's body also gained a reputation!
Reputation is something that cannot be seen or touched, but sometimes, it can be used to realize greater benefits.
In addition to its reputation, the patent licensing agreement reached between Tanglin Hi-Tech and Logitech can obtain a patent licensing fee of US$1.5 million per year, plus a licensing fee of US$3 million from Microsoft, relying on the mechanical silver sable mouse patent , Tanglin Hi-Tech received US$4.5 million this time!
The other is Microsoft’s settlement compensation. Tanglin Hi-tech and Larson shared it equally and received US$9 million. This time, when all was added up, the income reached US$13.5 million. Of course, this The money still needs Larson's help in handling tax issues, and then transferred to Tanglin Hi-Tech's account.
This money is still foreign exchange. There is really a shortage of foreign exchange in China right now. Companies that can earn foreign exchange are always treated as key companies no matter which province they are located in. Some companies even lose money when exporting products. Yes, just rely on export subsidies to make money.
"Li, do you want to stay in America? Together we can make a lot of dollars in the future!" Larson suddenly ran over, put his arm around Li Dongling's shoulders and said.
Looking at Larson, who had a big tongue and didn’t know whether he was really drunk or fake, Li Dongling slowly shook his head.
Nowadays, many people are rushing to come to America. Not only in China, but also all over the world. Countless people are desperately trying to come to America, dreaming of getting high wages and enjoying a modern life here. Villas, cars, and blond girls regard this place as paradise.
But with Li Dongling’s current body, plus the tens of millions of dollars in hand, if he really stays here, what’s the difference between that and a childish life in the bustling city!
Without this tens of millions of dollars, it might be better to stay in America and wash dishes, or work as a cowboy in one of those big companies.
Now, if you have the skills and are lucky enough to be able to work in a large company in America, then even if you get an average salary, not counting the consumption level here, regardless of the rent, food, etc. prices in America, then it is indeed It is dozens or hundreds of times higher than domestic wages.
In the last ten years or so, the best result is to become a middle-class family in America. This is still a matter of luck.
Those who are so unlucky will never be able to get a green card or work card in their lifetime. They will have to live in the basement and work illegally. In the end, they will rely on receiving food from the relief center, and then shout, it’s time to eat again, brothers...
But Li Dongling is different from those who first came to America. He now has tens of millions of dollars in his hands. This is completely different. Look at how the big and small oligarchs who came from Lao Maozi were manipulated by America and Lao Maozi. What Europe squeezed dry, really stayed in America. Those all kinds of monsters and local snakes could use various means to squeeze the money out of Li Dongling.
“That’s a pity!”
Larson said with a sigh. Maybe he really didn’t want to trick Li Dongling or anything, but just wanted Li Dongling to stay. Then maybe in the future, he would There will be opportunities to make a fortune.
"If you have any lawsuits in America in the future, you can come to me. Larson will always serve you!" Larson finally said to Li Dongling.
Hearing this, Li Dongling nodded. In the future, Donglin Hi-tech may still have lawsuits to fight in America. As long as Donglin Hi-tech does not want to be involved in the country and wants to enter overseas markets, it will inevitably have to fight with overseas giants. If you start a war, there may be a lot of lawsuits!
After handling the affairs and not staying in New York any longer, Li Dongling, Yao Luoying and others began to return to the country.
At Yangcheng International Airport, Gao Peng glanced at the watch on his hand again, then looked at the growing number of media and reporters on the side, and asked Gao Zhiyuan uncertainly, "It should be this flight, right?" "Today Gao Peng and Gao Zhiyuan came to pick up the plane, and a group of reporters and media who didn't know where they heard the news also rushed over. There were even media from Hong Kong City who wanted to interview them. Li Dongling, the "Computer Mouse King".
The interest in the lawsuit between Dongling Hi-Tech and Microsoft has dissipated a lot in Hong Kong City, but the Hong Kong City media are still curious about Li Dongling and want to dig out more news. .
This is not about how much Li Dongling is worth, but about the kings from all walks of life in Hong Kong. They have been reporting for decades, and they are getting tired of aesthetics. Li Dongling, the new mouse king, is from mainland China, so it is natural for Hong Kong media to be interested. .
Hong Kong media can enjoy this wave of traffic for a long time. They first collect the inside information about Li Dongling and Dongling Hi-tech, and then concoct news to hype up Li Dongling’s scandal with a certain Hong Kong star, etc. The scale of Hong Kong media must be large. Many, are quite good at these routines.
Gao Zhiyuan glanced at Gao Peng, thinking about Li Dongling who was about to meet him. He did not expect that the Gao family, the most troublesome person, would actually make some noise.
Whether Gao Peng is lucky or really capable, as long as Tanglin Hi-Tech can continue to develop and become a company of the level of Stone and Giant, then Gao Peng, as a veteran of Tanglin Hi-Tech, will also receive Huge profits, maybe the Gao family will really be proud of Gao Peng in the future...
Even Gao Peng and Gao Zhiyuan’s father, Gao Baifeng, called to tell Gao Zhiyuan that he should make a good relationship with Li Dongling Due to the relationship, Pingyang City and the Hanxi Provincial Municipal Government attach great importance to Tanglin High-tech.
When Gao Zhiyuan was thinking about these things, the reporter suddenly became restless, and then suddenly rushed in one direction.
As soon as he left the pick-up hall, Li Dongling saw a group of people, carrying microphones and cameras, and ran towards them. Seeing this, Yang Zhigao, who was pushing the suitcase in his hand, changed his face and quickly blocked the way. In front of Li Dongling.
Fortunately, these reporters carrying interview equipment came to Li Dongling, stopped one after another, raised their microphones, and asked Li Dongling questions.
"I am a reporter from the Yangcheng Evening News, Mr. Li Dongling. How does it feel to win a lawsuit?!"
"Microsoft really paid a settlement of 18 million US dollars. ? ”
"Guangdong TV station wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you!"
The reporters and media in front of Li Dongling reported their identities to Li Dongling one after another, wanting to interview him, or invite Li Dongling to participate in an exclusive interview.
Of course there were serious questions, but there were also inflammatory and unserious questions. I didn’t know which small media came from the port city, so I asked Li Dongling, "Donngling High-tech will develop a computer system software company, with Microsoft." Let’s compete!”
“The Hong Kong actress revealed to our newspaper that she is willing to meet Li Sheng. I wonder if you are interested in this?”
Li Dongling just smiled in response to all kinds of questions. If he answered questions today, he might not be able to leave the airport today. As for the questions from the Hong Kong media, Li Dongling pretended not to hear them. If he didn't answer, it is estimated that these companies The Hong Kong media had to make it up when they got back. If he really answered, I don’t know what to change what he said. I guess if Tanglin Hi-Tech wants to challenge Microsoft in the operating system industry, they can make it up.
Gao Peng and Gao Zhiyuan also rushed over and cooperated with Yang Zhigao to protect Li Dongling and Yao Luoying as they walked outside.
"Mr. Li Dongling, do you have anything to say to domestic technology companies and Chinese people regarding this lawsuit?" A reporter who came from Yanjing asked a question, which made Li Dongling stop in his tracks. .
Looking at the large row of microphones and cameras, Li Dongling pondered for a few seconds and said, "I hope that what happened to Dongling Hi-Tech will not happen again in the future. I believe that more domestic brands will stand up in the future. If more people let go of their arrogance and prejudice, there will be countless products around the world in the future, with the sentence "made in China" printed in the country where the product is produced! "
