"I can't be in a hurry. It's useless to be in a hurry. Even if I take out the civil technology, the cheapest price is 600 pounds. If I take back the domestic price of China plus the tariff, it can't be more than 10000 yuan. Although there are many people who can afford it, there are not many people who are willing to buy it.".
"But our production cost is low, Mr. Devonshire. The production cost of 100 pounds in England in China will never exceed 50 pounds. Even if we can't come up with the best technology, it's not difficult for you to have the same technology as the mobile phone technology on the market now.".
"It's not hard," said William, after thinking about it, pointing to the sky. "Forget it, let's do it today. Let's talk about it later.".
"OK", Professor Lai also knows that this is not a good time to negotiate.
When he opened the door, William got out of the car and nodded to the other four Chinese experts who had been waiting outside. He said to David, the housekeeper of the hotel, "take me to the conference room where Anthony and his lawyers are staying.".
"Yes, sir," said David, bending slightly and gesturing to William, leading the way.
The elevator stops on the 5th floor of the hotel, and David comes to a large conference room. As soon as he enters the door, Anthony and his men immediately stand up and say hello to William. William smiles, nods and asks, "who's my mother over there? How's the level?"
"Boss, Mrs. Lina, you have 100 concerns. The person in charge this time is the principal partner of our firm, 20 years earlier than me. After receiving your entrustment this time, the partners of the firm almost fought," Anthony laughs with schadenfreude.
"Because of the Devonshire family fund?"
"Of course, boss, although the annual salary of 1.2 million pounds is a rare high salary, it can not attract the main members of the Law Committee, and you can not find a breakthrough here. Of course, the partners of the firm will not miss the opportunity to serve another member of Devonshire family.
in addition, if they can become one of the executive committee members of Devonshire family fund The benefits should not be too much. I'm excited to think that the annual charity amount of the fund will be $100 million in the future.
William laughs. He is noncommittal about Anthony's suggestion. Some things are more convenient and safe for the user than for the user. He can't leave everything to a lawyer.
although the total proportion of employers who are cheated by private lawyers is very low, it's not rare to only look at the number of individual cases. "Does the Executive Committee of the foundation include the responsible lawyer of the fund owner?"
"Generally speaking, it includes the principal lawyer, of course, but it depends on the intention of the fund owner whether lawyers and accountants are allowed to join." Anthony hesitated for a moment and said, "boss, I suggest you let Thomas, the barrister, join us. He is one of the best lawyers in the British legal profession. He has been in the business for 40 years, and he will be in charge of it. There will be no legal problems in the future.".
"This again," William did not immediately agree, just looked at Anthony in doubt.
Working for William for such a long time, Anthony has a certain understanding of William. When he saw William looking at him, Anthony said with a smile: "I am a student of Thomas barrister. I know him very well. More than 7% of the lawyers in Britain are his students. Therefore, the relationship network of Thomas lawyer and our students is all over the legal world in Britain, affecting more than 40% of the British law firms There are legal disputes.
"Ha, isn't this the oligarch in the legal profession?" William thought for a moment, "what's the market value of your firm?"
"Isn't it, boss?" Anthony is a smart man. He knows a lot about William's habit of holding everything in his hands. "Is that necessary?"
"Of course, I didn't focus on the company before. My Devonshire industrial office is less than 100 square meters, just two front desk companies. Now I have not only Chelsea, Aston Martin, but also England power, a company with more than 9000 employees. It's time to set up a professional advisory group to serve me.".
"Well, you really need to be regularized when you say that. If you let the outside world know that your main tax company has only two front offices, a company with more than ten lawyers will surely be laughed to death," Anthony thought. "The last time our law firm and accounting firm merged, the valuation was 3800 pounds, now it's about 400 million pounds.".
"150 million pounds, I want a 34% stake.".
"As long as you have one vote of veto, it should not be a big problem. Will the financial problems of the fund and all your companies be handed over to our office in the future?" Anthony asked hesitantly.
William laughs, "if you want the whole business, let me take a 51%".
This made Anthony turn his eyes. "Boss, the firm doesn't make money. The limited partner system is implemented. Only 30% of the money is handed over to the firm, and the 30% has to pay the trainee lawyers, lawyers who are not qualified to be partners and other employees. The annual profit of the firm is less than 12 million pounds, and the annual dividend is 6 million pounds only when the company spends more than 200 million pounds Is your company suitable? "
William shook his head with a smile. "I don't lack this money, and I can even guarantee that my share of the dividend will be awarded to the top three lawyers and accounting teams in the firm. What I want is that there are no legal and financial problems.""Well, you're the boss. As far as I'm concerned, I'm sure I'd like to, but I want to persuade other partners," Anthony thought. "If you authorize me to show other partners some patents and inventions you have, it's not a big problem. After all, the intention of starting a company is to make money.".
"No", William refused without thinking about it. In order to acquire a firm, he showed his patents and technologies. William was not so stupid. "If you don't agree, you'd better take charge of my legal problems, and other things.".
What's more, Anthony knows that if he doesn't agree, William won't go to their firm to manage financial problems. "Well, boss, I'll have a good chat with other partners. I hope these guys won't be too stupid and only focus on the immediate interests.".
"If you want to make a lot of money, you have to have vision," William said, "well, let's not talk about that. Have you run the new company that I registered for you?".
"It's done. Devonshire defense supplies, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Devonshire industries, has a registered capital of 100 million pounds." Anthony takes a portfolio from his staff and gives it to William.
"Well," he said, taking out his mobile phone, he began to scan the documents in the file bag and soon reported on Sunday, "Sir, the documents are OK.".
When he heard that, William took the pen from Anthony with a smile, signed the document and gave it back to Anthony.
"Boss, in about three days, even if the new company is officially established, Congratulations, boss, another promising industry.".
Thank you. There is a patent application document about virtual imaging in the confidential email I gave you. Hurry up.
I understand.
Seeing Anthony off, William asked Sunday, "is there any news from the white ghost?"
