Chapter 1488 Refreshing Negotiation

"Okay, generally speaking, I'm very interested in all your plans." Hoffman ordered another cup of coffee, rubbed his brows, and said, "Now what I want to know is, what do you want me to play in the middle?" What kind of effect?"

"How do you want to join this plan, Reed?" Xiao Qi asked him back.

Hoffman talked eloquently: "Three plans, airbnb I will help you find professionals to take care of; foursquare I have a team, they can make it; the final game company plan needs to collect at least a dozen game designs Team, this one has the heaviest task and the most extensive project, but I like all kinds of challenges! So I will take care of this one myself.”

"Oh? Reed, you have done everything, what should I do?" Xiao Qi laughed.

"If you want to run these companies by yourself, what do you want me to do?" Hoffman took the newly brought coffee by the waiter, without sugar, and just drank it like this: "Don't be kidding, Qi Shao. If you are satisfied with what I just said Preliminary planning, then let's talk about how to allocate shares!"

Xiao Qi smiled, "How much do you want?"

"Separately?"

"yes!"

"I'm just helping you find professionals in the hotel and rating industries for airbnb. I don't want the shares. It's just a celebration of our cooperation. How much they want is up to you when I figure it out." Hoffman gestured. "Foursquare, my team needs to have 20% of the original shares, and the specific distribution is up to me. For game companies, I will serve as the CEO. Technology and contacts will be invested, and I will occupy 10%."

Xiao Qi nodded, then shook his head again: "After the airbnb shelf is set up, you will still be the general supervisor, so I will give you 3%. Foursquare can ask for 20%, but I must decide their share. You can only use it as a reference. The last game company, I have no problem."

Both are smart people.

Hoffman didn't mention at all his suggestion of using money to invest in more shares. Xiao Qi can dismantle hundreds of billions of dollars at any time, so he will be short of his little money?

So he speaks directly from his wit and connections. The required shareholding conditions are not high either. In line with his current identity and market conditions.

Xiao Qi also had an estimate of the value of Hoffman in his heart, basically the demands made by Hoffman were not too much. It is very moderate price.

The two were not friends before. At most, they have dealt with each other. So there is no need to talk about friendship, business matters are resolved in a commercial way. On the contrary, it is more straightforward and appropriate.

Hoffman was very satisfied with Xiao Qi's refusal of a suggestion and giving him 3% of Airbnb's shares, "Then, we'll make a preliminary decision like this! You should make the contract earlier, and I'll start planning when I return to the United States."

For those smart guys in Silicon Valley, one day earlier is one day ahead, and the fastest to come up with ideas has become the code of conduct for more and more people in Silicon Valley.

The same is true for Hoffman, who has done so many angel investors and understands the truth deeply.

Compared to Hoffman who doesn't know much about Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi knows a lot about Hoffman. From the experience of later generations, Hoffman is still very kind, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people If you are willing to make friends with him, so many people are willing to invest in him. To be an angel investor, network is very important, but the foundation of network is to make others trust.

It is precisely because of Hoffman's good reputation that Xiao Qi thought of using his strength to organize the three companies.

As for the shares to be given to Hoffman, that is in line with the American way of cooperation. Otherwise, if you take everything for yourself and don’t know how to release any benefits, why should they work hard for you?

Whether it is founders, working teams, stakeholders, etc., they all rely on shares to attract them, which is very different from Huaguo.

So in Huaguo, you can see that after a company goes public, the boss miraculously holds more than 60% of the shares. For foreign company bosses, it is thankful to have 30%. In addition to the entire founder and working team, It can reach 50% or so.

In these three companies, Xiao Qi is not afraid of giving shares to others, because those elites must pay the qualifications and abilities that match the shares in order to obtain shares.

All capitalists are the same, if I give you one dollar, you have to earn me at least two dollars back, and if you are a little bit unscrupulous, it will be 5 dollars or 10 dollars.

After talking about the business, Hoffman also felt very happy. Working with a straightforward and generous partner, it is natural that he can relax his hands and feet.

In fact, for him, more money and less money is no longer a problem. What he prefers is the process of making his business stronger and bigger, and the joy of success—Americans are indeed more free and easy than Chinese people, especially Hoffman. People who already have hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in their hands don't care much.

However, after all, Hoffman took a 12-hour plane to come here, and with such a toss about eating, he finally talked for more than an hour, and the talk was almost over. Just yawning, making Xiao Qi want to talk to him more about those things in Silicon Valley, he can only leave it for tomorrow.

However, when the two of them walked out of the coffee shop, because the lights at the door were relatively quiet, Hoffman, a fat man, was too big, so he bumped into a group of people who came in without paying attention.

"Ouch……"

A delicate female voice called out, "What did you do?...Oh, it turned out to be a foreign farmer! What a pity~~"

Hoffman didn't know what the woman was talking about, but he was also very embarrassed, because he was too tired, so he didn't pay attention when he walked, and bumped into someone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss! Do you need me to do anything for you?" Hoffman shook his head, slowed down his tone, and spread his hands.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm unlucky, let's go!" The stylishly dressed woman said with a look like she had eaten a fly.

She also doesn't want to cause more trouble, if it is replaced by a Huaguo person, it may not be so easy to talk to.

The woman's English is very good. Hoffman smiled when he heard it. After thanking her, he walked forward.

Xiao Qi was standing by the side, just about to have some difficulties, and he came out to help out, but he didn't expect the solution to be so smooth.

But when he was about to go outside, he saw a familiar figure in the crowd. (to be continued..)
