He "convinced" Blaney's father with a monthly price of ten thousand dollars, which was not a big price compared to his ability to successfully complete the system tasks. Especially now that he has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Therefore, Chen Feng did not feel sad at all to spend this money.
Now that things were settled, especially after successfully preventing Blaney's father from going to Los Angeles and continuing to control Blaney's life, Chen Feng said goodbye and left.
Jamie was polite and wanted to invite him to dinner at home and have a few drinks together, but Chen Feng didn't want to talk to such a control freak. He declined because he had other things to do in San Jose, so Jamie stopped.
To retain.
Blainey sent him out, and the two of them stood on the roadside more than ten meters away from the door of his house. Blainey said with an embarrassed look: "This time, I really want to thank you. I am not as determined as I thought.
No matter what he is, he is still my father after all. And I know that he does love me very much. But he is also a control freak. I am very conflicted. Thank you for helping me."
Chen Feng looked at her and said solemnly: "I just hope I didn't misjudge you. You need to confirm with yourself whether you really like singing and are confident that you can occupy a place in the music world in the future."
Blainey nodded seriously: "As long as you can trust me, I will definitely have no problem. Because I have nothing to be afraid of."
"Then do you believe me?" Chen Feng stared at her and asked.
Blainey nodded solemnly: "Of course I believe you."
"That's no problem." Chen Feng said with a smile, "As long as you believe in me and listen to me in the future. I have the confidence to make you a popular singer as good as Tina. Maybe you will
I have to surpass her."
Blaney was immediately excited when he heard this: "Is this true? I may surpass Tina in the future?"
Tina's current popularity can be said to be the most popular female singer in the United States. Her popularity has completely surpassed that of ordinary singers. And this popularity is based on more than a dozen excellent songs.
, then it is not virtual fire.
People also believe that her popularity and fame will only increase in the future. Tina can now be said to have successfully reached the position of pop queen in the American music scene.
Such a big star is completely out of reach for Blaney now.
But now Chen Feng told her that he could not only make her as popular as Tina, but even more popular than Tina. Of course she was very excited. If others said this, she would definitely not believe it. But the person who said this was
Chen Feng was the godfather who single-handedly praised Tina as the queen of the music industry. She had to believe it.
"As I said just now, as long as you believe me and have confidence in yourself, this possibility completely exists. You have to know that I don't lack good musical works, I just lack singers suitable to sing them. Tina is
In this way, I tailor-made several songs for her. Then, I packaged her to a certain extent based on her personal image and temperament. So, she became popular. And if you join our beautiful lady, I believe that you
No worse than her."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. If I become famous in the future, you will be my benefactor and I will always listen to your words." Blainey said with gratitude and longing. Facing the possibility of becoming a star like Tina in the future,
It was natural for Blainey to be excited and moved. Moreover, she also put aside her unruly and rebellious temper and directly surrendered to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng said solemnly: "I hope that in the future, when you are really popular, as popular as Tina, or even more popular than her, you will not think about terminating your contract with our beautiful beauty company. If that is the case, I'm worried
You will be controlled by your father again, which will be a very bad situation in your life. I don't want you to become more unhappy because of being famous. Do you know what I mean? I know that before you drop out of school,
You have never been happy. You have no goals in life, and your father is a control freak. You are rebellious, unruly, and always get angry at others or even start fights. You are unhappy. And now I hope that after you sign with our beautiful beauty company
, you can be happy. You can find your own life goals. In addition, you can get rid of your father's control and become independent."
After hearing what he said, Blainey was very moved, his eyes were slightly red, he opened his hands and stood up on tiptoes to hug Chen Feng again.
Chen Feng reached out and patted her gently on the back, then pushed her away. He smiled and said, "You don't have to be so moved. In fact, I mainly like you as a person who can make money for our company."
Blainey also quickly adjusted his mood, tilted his head slightly, smiled and asked: "Are you really not interested in me?"
Chen Feng said with some embarrassment: "I can't answer your question now. I've told you a long time ago that I already have a girlfriend. When you arrive in Los Angeles, I will introduce her to you. In addition, if
You have officially signed a contract with our company, and you are my artist. There can be no scandals between the two of us. In the future, I will portray you as a sweetheart beauty. In the future, you will even be the sweetheart of the entire United States. You should understand this personality.
Importance and influence. Therefore, after signing the contract, you'd better not ask for a boyfriend for at least the next two or three years. Even if you want to have a boyfriend, you must get the consent of me and the company. This will be written in
It’s in the contract.”
Blainey smiled nonchalantly and said: "I have no problem. Those men are vulgar. Unless you are a man with content, depth, talent and ability like you, boss, I won't be interested."
Chen Feng smiled, waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's just say this for now. When I return to Los Angeles, I will let you know, and we will go together then. You should spend more time with your father at home these days.
.Like you said, even though he is a control freak, he really cares about and loves you as his daughter. When you go to Los Angeles in the future, you won’t have much time to spend with him.”
Blainey shrugged and said: "There is also my sister, she is in tenth grade now. And the worst part is my brother. He is not just my daughter."
"That's what I said. But I know that your father is still somewhat reluctant to let you be separated from her for a long time. This is what every normal father has. Let's just say it. I'm leaving first. If you need anything, call me.
.”
Chen Feng didn't want to stand on the roadside and talk to her anymore. After waving to her, he walked over to the rented Lincoln car. Liu Jianguo and Li Dongwei, who had been waiting in the car, got out of the car, one on the left and the other on the right.
Opened the door.
Sitting in the car, Chen Feng reached out and waved goodbye to Blaney on the roadside.
On the way, Chen Feng received a text message of thanks from Blaney. Chen Feng did not reply. Instead, he called Tre Laurent directly and told Blaney about Blaney, including the need to pay Blaney's father every day.
A monthly “consulting fee” of US$10,000.
Chen Feng planned to pay this money from the Meili Beauty Company. Although it was considered Chen Feng's money, after all, Terrolan had 10% of the incentive shares. Chen Feng still had to inform him of this matter.
Of course, Trelawen disagreed with this in his heart. This kind of thing is equivalent to making a special case. This "consultancy fee" from Blainey's father is completely nonsense.
It's just that Chen Feng didn't come to him for discussion, but told him. Not to mention that the nominal 10% of his shares as the general manager were only incentive shares, even if they were actual shares, when Chen Feng accounted for 90% of the shares, he
There is no way to object.
Trelawen just considered it and said: "I just hope that this Blainey is as outstanding as you said, otherwise I don't want to be her agent. After all, I am already busy enough with the things in the company."
"You will know in a few days when I take her to the company. I will never let you do anything. I know you are very busy managing the company now, but I have high hopes for this Blainey, and I would not trust it to anyone else."
I feel most at ease giving it to you. You can hire another assistant to share the company's affairs. In addition, after Blainey signs the contract, you can also help her form an agent team. In that way, you, the agent, will not
I’m too busy. I just need to keep control in the general direction.”
"Okay. If she is really a good prospect, everything will be easy."
Trelawen's workload is very heavy right now, so Chen Feng didn't talk much to him. After telling him about Blainey, he ended the call.
Back in San Jose, Chen Feng took Liu Jianguo to have lunch first. Then he returned to the hotel. Soon he received a call from Jeff, telling him the good news that he had already found Chen Feng.
Three big names in the field of system development.
All three have many years of experience working in large companies, one at Oracle, one at Microsoft, and one at Cisco. They all have relevant system development experience and technology.
These three people are all over 40 years old, the oldest is 49 years old, and the youngest is 42 years old. The three people are looking for partners after hearing that a big boss wants to fund a company in Silicon Valley to develop mobile operating systems.
People. These three people are now only middle-level technical engineers in their respective companies, with limited room for future development and promotion. Of course, they all hope to make a fortune while they are still young. The most important thing is that they listen to
Jeff said that the big boss Chen Feng has a net worth of over 100 million. As long as he has capital, he is God in Silicon Valley.
Chen Feng spent an afternoon meeting with these three people in the same coffee shop next to the hotel. It was a simple interview.
Chen Feng still has computer proficiency skills and knows a lot about computer programming, so there is no obstacle in communicating with these three technical middle-aged engineers. They also know a lot about the mobile operating system that Chen Feng hopes to develop.
In fact, there are no companies developing mobile phone systems in Silicon Valley at this time, but there are basically no companies that have achieved results yet.
These three people all have experience in system development, so Chen Feng was very enthusiastic when chatting with them. Basically, everyone chatted for more than an hour.
After this meeting, the three of them all admired Chen Feng, the young boss. After all, Chen Feng not only had money but also had technical background, which was quite rare. It was also what they, the technical men, admired and admired the most.
.
Chen Feng is quite satisfied with the three of them, but they don't have a mobile operating system development project on hand, and two of them were previously engaged in database development, and the other was simply developing a switch system. This is different from the mobile phone system.
There are some differences in development. Although it is not difficult for them, it is not very smooth after all.
As for the one who has many years of experience in Microsoft, he was indeed engaged in system development when he was at Microsoft, but he was just one of many system engineers. His technology was not the most advanced, and it was obvious that he was completely
He is a technical geek with a somewhat introverted personality. Except for talking about programming, system development and architecture, and some cutting-edge technologies, where he is more active, he basically remains silent on other topics.
Therefore, these three people combined are not very satisfied with Chen Feng. At least if he wants to be a partner of his new company in Silicon Valley, they obviously still lack a little qualification. In the end, they are not as good as Andy.
Rubin, this guy understands both technology and company management.
At night, when Chen Feng was debating whether to call Andy Rubin, Andy Rubin suddenly called him while he was going to the toilet.
"Mr. Chen, I have been thinking about it for two days and I think it is still possible for us to cooperate. We will discuss the details tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
"Okay. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, the place where we last met."
The next day, Chen Feng deliberately missed the time and arrived at the coffee shop where the two met last time.
It was still the same booth as last time. Andy Rubin had already arrived first. When he saw Chen Feng coming in, he quickly stood up from his seat and greeted him.
The two shook hands again, and then went to the booth to sit opposite each other.
"Mr. Chen, let me tell you directly. The US$10 million you mentioned last time was too little. I think US$20 million is the most appropriate. In addition, after establishing the new company, I think 10% of the shares is too small.
Yes, I hope to get 20% of the shares."
Chen Feng shook his head and refused: "This is impossible. If you are confident enough in your Android, you should know how valuable this company with Android system will be in the future. Unless you are willing to invest in Android technology, then, I am willing
I’ll give you 15% of the company’s shares. Otherwise, the price I offered you last time was already the highest price I could offer.”
Andy Rubin had a tangled look on his face. After all, he is still more of a technical middle-aged man and is not very good at negotiating. Chen Feng gave him a choice between two, and it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
"Rubin, I believe you have been selling Android in the past two days, but the result must have disappointed you. So, you have to believe me. Only I will think highly of you and your Android, and I will be willing to spend a lot of money for you.
The same cannot be said for others. Moreover, you may not know it yet. I have just interviewed three technical experts this afternoon. Each of them is also a senior talent in system development. If I give them up to half a year
, they will be able to develop a mobile system that is not weaker than your Android. By then your Android will be even less valuable.”
