I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 6

Henry left Stanford High School, now he is busy with the development of Cisco and the property of Nicholas Bookstore.

Woolf returned the embezzled company money the next day, because he was afraid that Henry might trouble him. Woolf and the others thought Henry wouldn’t sell a bookstore, but they guessed wrong. Henry acted quickly, a week later, he contacted three famous bookstores in California and basically reached an agreement to sell. When representatives from the three bookstores came to the Bookshop headquarters of Nicholas, Woolf and the others were stunned.

“Henry, you have no right to do this !!!” Woolf shouted at Henry.

“Why not? I am a controlling shareholder and I have officially told you on the board of directors. I will sell the bookshop and all comply with procedures.” Henry said lightly, “Of course, my promise that day was still valid, no more, no less only 5%!”

After Henry finished speaking, he led representatives from three bookstores into the living room. Woolf and other big and small shareholders looked at each other and immediately followed.

At the negotiating table, Henry had negotiated a general explanation with three representatives. Three bookstores jointly acquired the Nicholas Bookstore, but the brand name “Nicholas Bookstore” was not included. The acquisition capital is 20 million US dollars!

Woolf and the others knew that they would lose money when they saw the contents of the agreement. The bookstore was originally worth 24 million US dollars, but now sells for 20 million US dollars, which is a loss of 4 million US dollars. As for the name of the bookstore brand, the value is small for them and absolutely not appreciate it. What’s more, Henry bought their shares at a 5% premium!

With this calculation, if the bookstore is sold, they will lose a lot!

“Chairman, this … I will sell the shares in my hand,” a small shareholder told Henry.

“Yes,” Henry looked at her meaningfully, then nodded.

“Chairman, I want to sell too!”

“…”

Minority shareholders basically stated that they would sell their shares to Henry, and in the end only Hank Woolf was left. Hank Woolf holds a 12.5% stake and is vice president of bookstores. He is a high-ranking person. He was ashamed to submit to Henry for a while. Henry looked at her and smiled amusingly, “Mr. Woolf, it looks like you won’t sell his shares, haha, yes, I’ll save more money.”

Hank Woolf’s face was almost bloody: “No, no. I plan to sell his shares too!”

“Mr. Woolf deserves to be a wise man, he knows the current affairs!” Henry smiled sarcastically, “Well, since you all decided to sell shares to me, now transfer all shares in my name. I will let the finance write a check for you!”

“Good, good!” The big and small shareholders nodded one after another.

An hour later, Woolf and the others left the company with satisfaction. Henry looked at their backs and shook his head. If it were not for avoiding disputes over the “Nicholas Bookstore” brand name, he would not have bought their shares at a sizable price. After all, they are shareholders, and brand names also have their share.

At three o’clock, Henry signed a contract with three bookstore sellers. Before this, Henry had gained talent at a company that could really do a lot of things. He is Geely Hutt, thirty years old, and was originally a team leader involved in procurement of books under the company. His abilities are extraordinary, his social level is very high, especially with large publishers! Henry really appreciated this, so he decided to hire him as the company’s purchasing manager.

Yes, Henry will imitate Amazon Bookstore to establish a new company, the name of this company is undoubtedly “Nicholas Bookstore”!

Henry’s grandfather gave him a large inheritance, bank deposits, villas, etc. Plus Nicholas Bookstore, total assets reached more than 30 million US dollars. But the trap is that the US inheritance tax is so troublesome that at least half of the 30 million dollars must be returned! Henry paid taxes honestly and paid $ 17 million. The American inheritance tax specializes in slaughtering large households.

Henry feels as if he has lost his skin after leaving the tax office!

Nicholas Bookstore was also established in San Jose. Even though the time is not yet ripe, you can build a team to hone it first. This little money can still be bought by Henry. What’s more, Cisco is in Henry’s hands. He understood that the coming of the internet era would be more “fierce” than in previous lives. If he fails to grasp this opportunity, he may be eliminated.

At the same time, Henry also moved to San Jose to live with the Bossack family, but his main purpose was to eat. The development of Cisco makes Henry very happy, according to Bosack, the first router is expected to be developed in August, which is at least half a year from the previous life. After Henry lived in San Jose, he taught himself while writing novels. The West German Publisher House always sent people to follow up on the manuscript, and Henry thought, taking advantage of the business of the two companies was not busy now, he hurriedly finished writing Harry Potter, otherwise I didn’t know if I had time to write in the future.

Recently, Harry Potter, both Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets topped the list of American novels for six consecutive weeks, with total sales of more than three million copies, and “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” led the first list. The West German Publisher House cheered and wanted to offer a high deal to Henry. When Henry got the script fee for the second time, it was more than three million US dollars, almost two million more than the first time. Lerner often jokes, “Henry, if you write a novel every day. I’m sure one day you will be the richest person in the world!”

Henry looked at her and smiled, “I’ve become the richest person in the world because I own 60% of Cisco shares!”

As soon as Henry finished speaking, Lerner smiled, he really could not believe what Henry was saying.

On July 1, because he could not stand the “eyes” of longing and desire from the West German Publisher House, Henry wrote the third Harry Potter book “Harry Potter and Prisoner Azkaban” that had been written previously. sent to the West German Publisher House. Shortly thereafter, newspapers and media had placed advertisements for the third part of Harry Potter.

“The third part of the young genius Harry Potter novel is truly amazing -” Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban “!!!”

“A new book by an eleven-year-old genius writer!”

That’s right, Henry is eleven years old, his birthday is June 19. In addition, because Harry Potter was too popular, many fans kindly referred to Henry as “Harry Potter”, the West German Publishing House also published some of Henry’s experiences in England. Uncle Henry, Peter’s family, has suffered, and they have been verbally abused and insulted by Harry Potter fans around the world. Since the first Harry Potter book in circulation, the West German Publisher House has led the British Penguin Press to contact Henry and sign an authorization contract. The contents of the contract is that Henry Williams permits Penguin Press on “European paper copyrights from the Harry Potter series of novels, royalties from manuscripts reaching 12%. However, manuscript fees are completed once a year.

It didn’t take long for Hollywood to come. It is a small film company. Anyway, a film company that Henry had never heard of, expressed his interest in the film adaptation rights of novels.

Henry asks how much will they pay?

Seeing that Henry was young, the person in charge thought he would intimidate, so he shouted “one million dollars, the right to adjust the whole series of novels!”

“Jerk !!!” It was an evil merchant who intimidated me and Henry cursed it in his heart.

“Mr. Williams, don’t be angry, the price is easy to say.” The person in charge of the small film company smiled shyly, “Or, will you give me a price?”

“Sorry, I have no idea to sell the copyrights of novel film adaptations. If anything, I will contact you to let you know!” Henry stands and issues an eviction order.

Next, several batches of Hollywood studios came one after another. Henry refuses one after another. Henry knows the value of Harry Potter. The profit from selling books is only a small part of it, and more importantly, the additional income after the film. The premise is that the film must be successful. Because of this, Henry would rather let a strong film company produce classic films for free rather than making bad films with little money!

Special effects are the key to the success of Harry Potter.

This is only 1985, still early.

As August approaches, Henry can clearly feel the tension within Cisco. New products will be successfully developed. Everyone has hope for that, but at the same time, it is inevitable that they will be agitated. Because they walk on a road that no one else has walked …

Henry also came to the laboratory to “help give advice”, but with every strange idea that always made the whole team happy.

Bosack said: “This is my student, the proudest student!”

On August 5, the first Cisco router finally appeared. Boss asks Henry to give name. Henry thought for a while and said: “Let’s call Cisco85, August 5, 1985. This is a very meaningful name, isn’t it ?!”

“Okay, the name is good !!!” Boss agreed happily when he heard Henry say this.

Therefore, the name of the first Cisco router was decided.

Cisco85.

When published, they must be sold.

Bosack said he would go to Stanford University to sell it.

Henry shook his head, this is a typical way of thinking technical talent. How do capitalists play? Give them to use!

Henry raised his head and said, “Here, Mr. Boss’s idea is very good, but slow to work. I think we can give it to some famous universities or scientific research institutes. After a while ago we take it back. If they want to continue using it, then buy Haha, but I think once they use our company’s router, they definitely won’t be separated from it! ”

“OK !!!” exclaimed Bosak excitedly.

But Lerner, the company’s financial officer, poured cold water on him at this time: “The company doesn’t have a lot of capital, so I’m afraid even employee salaries won’t be paid!”

“Then, let me invest another two million …”

Henry blushes for a moment, feeling like he’s evil. If you invest another two million, your Possack shares will be diluted. But the company has no money, and ultimately has to raise funds. Whoever collects money instead of financing, why should it be cheaper for other people, Henry comforts himself like this.

The Bosack family considered it briefly, and finally agreed to Henry’s financial request.

In terms of allocating shares, Henry only needs 10%, which is certainly the conscience of heaven and earth. Sequoia Capital raised 2.5 million US dollars after Cisco expanded, but took a third of other people’s shares. This is just “starving wolf legend”. This kind of “legend”, Sequoia Capital has been staged many times …

Bossack feels ashamed. At the beginning of the company, Henry invested 1 million and got 60% shares. Now it hasn’t even been one year yet, only one product has been released. Henry invested 2 million US dollars, but only got 10% of the shares, Bossacks only felt that they were taking advantage of Henry, and taking advantage of the child was undesirable! ! !

The Posack discussed it and finally decided to give Henry a 25% stake.

Stop it, so much! Henry swallowed his saliva after hearing Bosack’s decision.

“Bossack teacher, the part you gave me was too much!”

“Not much,” said Bossack.

Henry shook his head, because the Bosack couple were honest people and good teachers in educating him, they could not take too much profit for themselves. This is morally difficult. After Cisco develops in the next two days, it will be difficult to protect Bossack. I feel unhappy in my heart. If it’s because both parties involved in this incident are unhappy, that’s not good. If there is a problem with company management, it will cause problems!

If they are not angry, take the team out to start a business, and take out other competitors, Henry almost cries to death!

“Alright, let me give you 15%. If you have more, I will be uncomfortable.”

Seeing Henry’s determination, Bossacs finally agreed to his distribution. At the same time, both of them also appreciated and preferred little Henry, treating them like their own children.

Finally, the proportion of Cisco shares, Henry has 75%, and Possack has 25%.
