Chapter 484 Nineteen points
How did Dongling Hi-Tech, which was still unknown at the time, win the lawsuit against Microsoft? It mainly relied on its strength to create a sense of crisis for Microsoft to enter the computer hardware industry. Unify public opinion in the global computer hardware and software industry.
Let America's computer industry companies, including IBM, Compaq, Dell, HP, etc., unite. Even Microsoft's ally Intel began to be dissatisfied with Microsoft. The first anti-Microsoft alliance was officially established!
When the anti-Microsoft alliance was first established, Microsoft’s real opponent was no longer Tanglin Hi-Tech, but the entire computer hardware industry!
Larsson then concocted public opinion and helped portray Tanglin Hi-Tech as a tragic hero, thus triggering American society's antipathy toward Microsoft. Coupled with the pressure of the anti-Microsoft alliance, the federal justice system in America was Department, had to intervene in the antitrust investigation that Microsoft may be involved in!
When it faced pressure from the entire computer industry, faced antitrust investigations, and saw its stock price plummet continuously, and even Wall Street institutions began to short Microsoft, Microsoft had no choice but to make a choice.
It is not cost-effective to fight with an unknown person like Dongling Hi-Tech. For Microsoft, it will get nothing if it wins. In comparison, it will get nothing if it admits defeat and settles for tens of millions of dollars. To solve the problem, a normal person would know how to choose!
You can see from the lawsuit that year what Larson's methods are. Larson is full of skills such as concocting public opinion, building momentum, fanning the flames, and figuring out human nature.
This time, when Li Dongling came to America, he also needed to build momentum for Himalayan Radio and get support from Wall Street institutions, which required Larson's skills.
Larson listened to the bargaining chip offered by Li Dongling. The 3.5 million U.S. dollars in lawyer consulting fees was not the point. Not all of the money was given to him in vain, and it was impossible for all of it to go to him. pocket.
Instead, Larson was used as activity fund, and he was asked to do public relations for Himalaya Radio, build momentum with the media, find support from powerful people, etc.
Three and a half million US dollars is not a small amount of money. How many grass-roots Internet companies in Silicon Valley had such funds when they were established? How much money did Yahoo get from its first venture capital investment? .
Hearing that Li Dongling had allocated US$3.5 million in activity funds for Himalayan Radio, Larson felt that Li Dongling was determined to win!
The salary belonging to Larson is mainly due to the second and third points raised by Li Dongling. From now on, the legal affairs of Feiyan Technology and Himalaya Website in America will be handed over to Larson's law firm.
It all depends on how far Himalayan Radio can develop. If it can reach Netscape’s current momentum, then Larson’s law firm will receive dozens or millions of legal fees every year. It will be nothing at all. Difficult matter.
The key is that this is still a long-term business. As long as Himalayan Radio is alive, he will make this money every year. If he encounters a lawsuit, he will make even more.
Finally, after Feiyan Technology went public, the 0.2% equity in Feiyan Technology was awarded to him. Whether this equity is worth anything depends on the market value of Feiyan Technology. What US dollars it can reach, the higher the market value. The higher the equity, the more valuable the equity will be.
If one day, Feiyan Technology can really become an Internet giant company with a market value of over one billion US dollars, or even higher, then this equity may even have the opportunity to double Larson’s worth. Unknown.
Of course, these are just speculations now. No one knows what will happen. It just depends on whether Larson dares to gamble.
"Li, Hardy Law Firm will not let you down!" Larson thought for a moment, then laughed a few times, stretched out his hand to Li Dongling, and accepted Li Dongling's conditions.
It is true that Larson loves US dollars, but his mobility is also quite outstanding. After reaching an agreement with Li Dongling, he quickly fell into the role.
“I don’t know much about the Internet, but I still know a thing or two about how to build momentum!”
Larsson said, “The ultimate goal of building momentum is for Feiyan Technology to use Himalaya The launch of the radio station is actually divided into two parts! "
"The first is to let more computer users in America know about the existence of Himalaya Radio. This is very important, but the second point is more important. ..."
"Let Himalayan Radio get the support of Wall Street and American congressmen?"
Hearing what Li Dongling said, Larson snapped his fingers excitedly, "Bingo, Li, you should have stayed in America. Maybe Dongling Hi-Tech would have gone public long ago and we would all have become billionaires!"< br>
Cooperating with Li Dongling, for Larson, there is no need to waste words at all. He only needs to say a little, and Li Dongling can understand what he means.
Li Dongling laughed and said nothing. Although the places and national conditions are different, the principles in this world are basically the same, especially when cutting leeks, it has always been the money of the wealthy gentry. If the money is paid back in full, the money from the leek will be divided into seven and three points. As for who gets seven or who gets three, it depends on who is more skilled. Yao Luoying looked at Li Dongling with some doubts. She was a little confused about what Li Dongling and Larson said. She didn't know why Feiyan Technology's listing involved powerful members of the American Federation.
Li Dongling saw the look on Yao Luoying's face. Jiang Wen's classic movie "Let the Bullets Fly" has not yet been released, and the famous scene of the wealthy gentleman and Huang Silang jointly cutting leeks has not yet spread. Come.
"America is actually a real human society. As an outsider, if Feiyan Technology wants to be listed in America, it needs the endorsement and support of Wall Street and some powerful people in America before it can go public, or in other words, go public. Finally, the stock of Feiyan Technology can be sought after!
To sum up, Feiyan Technology If Technology wants to issue stocks in America, if its stock price can rise, Wall Street and some federal powerful people must make profits with Feiyan Technology. Otherwise, who will support Feiyan Technology’s stocks?”
Li Dongling gave a brief summary to Yao Luoying, but some of the words were difficult to express too directly, but the basic truth was this.
If you want to give an American example, it is probably the famous Nikola Motor Company. This hydrogen energy truck company was once Musk’s biggest rival. At its peak, even Musk To stay away, of course, the American leeks that were cut at the end were squealing!
Trevor Milton, the founder of Nikola Motors, suddenly appeared. No one knew how he appeared, but when he appeared in front of the media, he was a successful person, claiming that he I have no interest in money anymore, I just want to change the world, let the whole world use clean energy, and protect the mother planet of mankind.
Wait, no, why are these words so familiar? Musk seems to have said the same thing, but part of what Musk boasted did come true.
Less than a few months after Nikola Motors was founded, Trevor Milton announced that he had designed the world's first hydrogen energy truck in his basement, and couldn't wait to hold a press conference.
Don’t ask why the trucks on the stand don’t have functional displays and test drives. Doesn’t the pie painted by Trevor Milton taste good? !
Subsequently, Trevor Milton also declared that he would only do welfare for Nikola fans and their families. He would not make money by selling hydrogen energy trucks, but by building hydrogen energy stations. Solar energy follows wind energy, splits water to produce hydrogen energy, and fulfills its environmental protection promise.
He also announced that for the sake of his family, the after-sales and maintenance of Nikola trucks will be free for life, which made the family cry...
The Nikola truck was born and caused a sensation. The parent company of Budweiser directly ordered 800 taels of Nikola trucks to transport beer. Germany's Bosch announced the introduction and production of Nikola truck batteries, and Iveco announced that it would be Nikola trucks. Gula Trucks offers a complete line of truck parts.
More than dozens of Fortune 500 companies have successively announced strategic cooperation with Nikola Motors. The stock prices of these companies have subsequently increased to varying degrees.
The next step will be familiar to you. Nikola Motor Company reverse-merged a listed company and passed the American Securities Commission with a beautiful PPT without a running truck. Reviewed and successfully listed.
Two days after listing, the market value exceeded US$34 billion, surpassing Ford Motor Company's century-old. Within a month, the stock price quadrupled, slapping Musk's Tesla stock, and the entire Wall Street investment banks and securities companies. While frantically promoting Nikola Motors stock to the leeks, all the leeks in America, faced with the skyrocketing Nikola Motors stock, worshiped Trevor Milton as a god. What about Musk? Heard it.
Although there were twists and turns after that, Nikola Motors’ half-year income was only 30,000 US dollars, and it was earned from installing solar panels for users. At this time, Bosch couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped out of the car halfway. , announced that the news of cooperation with Nikola Motors is untrue, and will no longer cooperate with Nikola for batteries. However, by this time, Bosch's stock price in Frankfurt has already risen several times, and the major shareholders have probably cashed out.
Just when Nikola Motors was being despised and its stock price was cut in half, America General Motors stepped forward again and announced that it had reached a $2 billion deal with Nikola Trucks. The stock prices of the two companies immediately skyrocketed. Leek had just run away. They regretted it endlessly and hurriedly bought Nikola stock.
But then nothing happened. Nikola founder Leif Milton was indicted on suspicion of fraud, but the stocks he cashed out had exceeded 3 billion U.S. dollars and were transferred overseas. After being sent to federal prison the next year, he emerged a rich man worth billions of dollars.
As for the Fortune 500 companies that had previously cooperated with Nikola, they have all cut ties with each other. Anyway, their stock prices have risen several times due to their publicity with Nikola, and they have already cashed out.
The Wall Street investment banks that were frantically promoting Nikola stock to the leeks had already begun to educate the leeks and warned them of the risks, but the leeks just didn’t listen!
It is not clear how much money Nikola founder Trevor Milton earned, but the Wall Street investment banks, investors, and powerful people who worked with him include General Motors, Bosch, Budweiser parent company and other five major companies in the world. Bai Qiang, whether he knows he is a liar or not, will probably become a mystery to the world.
The Nikola truck is a carnival, and it is also a standard tycoon's money, which is paid back in full. The money from leeks is divided into nine points, and even Trevor Milton may not be able to get that one!
Feiyan Technology and Himalayan Radio do not need to be like Nikola Motors or Trevor Milton, but they also need the endorsement of some people. If Feiyan Technology cannot make money, Wall Street Which investment bank is willing to speculate on Feiyan Technology stocks?
“Ximalaya Radio needs the support of Silicon Valley venture capital and Wall Street investment banks. I will also seek investors and state legislators in New York to support Himalayan Radio!”
Larsson said , "Feiyan Technology held a banquet to make initial contact with those people!"
