Start with hooves

Faced with lawyer Daniel Boyce, he turned his enemy into a friend and accepted the proposal of a financing loan.

After thinking about it, Su Rui nodded and replied:
"It's not completely non-negotiable, but Viacom Group must be excluded from the financing list. It has joined forces with CBS and has targeted me many times. I don't want to be regarded as a softie by the outside world and send the wrong signal."

"Moreover, I hope to build TikTok into an independent and free platform, from which financiers can make a lot of wealth, but are not allowed to interfere with any operation of the platform."

"TikTok has great potential and is fully expected to become the next Facebook. Even if it is valued at US$5000 billion in the future, I will not be surprised at all. Now I am confident that I can lead some people in the Jewish Federation of North America to earn Money, as long as they don't interfere with its growth, this isn't too much to ask for."

That's right.

Most of the media oligarchs targeting him this time are members of the Jewish Federation of North America.

This organization usually hides quietly underwater, but it often represents the Jewish consortium and is active in the Washington, D.C., area on the East Coast, and has huge influence.

Even the oil giants the Koch brothers, whom I met last time, were a bit underwhelming compared to them.

While busy admiring Suri making tea by herself, lawyer Daniel Boyce couldn't wait to say:
"Absolutely no problem! Even if TikTok has potential, it must be able to grow smoothly in order to help you earn profits. All you need now is enough time and a business environment that is not suppressed."

Suri laughed at himself and wondered whether this was a successful blackmail.

Fortunately, he never thought about living alone. After TikTok is listed, if he can still have about 35% of the shares in his hands, it will be very good.

He then added to attorney Daniel Boyce:

"Since it is an angel round of financing, I will only release 15% of the equity at most. I need to carefully study who to choose to cooperate with. In my opinion, TikTok will definitely have the opportunity to grow into a giant with a level of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future. , so the partners must be powerful enough. Next, they need to continue to win over allies on Wall Street. This time, the equity share is only 15% at most and cannot be negotiated. "

Releasing 20% ​​or 30% of the equity is actually not completely impossible.

The reason why he only agreed to release 15% was because the amount was too small to earn enough points. He hoped to let the media bosses fight dog-eat-dog and had no intention of joining forces to target TikTok again.

The wisdom our ancestors have accumulated over thousands of years will never go out of style.

The conspiracy of "two peaches and three soldiers" not only gave him a chance to escape successfully, but also further enhanced his soft power and attracted some new allies.

It is a pity that it is difficult for Chinese Americans to take root and grow in the United States, and cannot provide much help for Suri's level of business game.

For example, members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States can only make a small amount of money through business and have almost no chance to climb to the top of the American pyramid.

If Suri had not focused on the technology field in Silicon Valley and accumulated enough influence through his celebrity status, he would never have dreamed of competing with the Jewish and Anglican consortiums in the traditional business field.

This is one of the main reasons why Suri is obsessed with leaving a way out for himself and constantly transferring assets outside the United States.

Just like a young and energetic boy, what he fears most is always a beautiful woman.

What businessmen worry most about is always having great opportunities before them, but not being able to get more benefits from them.

If there is an opportunity to invest in an Internet company with huge potential in the angel round, even if Su Rui seizes the market and takes away part of his voice in the media field, many shareholders will only praise him for his ability and good work.

Compared with the potential shown by TikTok, the stocks of Disney, Universal Pictures, and Time Warner Group seem to be a bit worth mentioning, and the return rate is too low. Internet companies in Silicon Valley can achieve super-high growth rates of dozens or hundreds of times, which has already made countless people jealous. As long as Suri insists on holding 15% of his share, most of the media alliances targeting him will turn against him. Try to get more original equity in TikTok
The core issue is the game of interests, and those gangster lawsuits are not worth mentioning.

After taking some time to negotiate some details and seeing off lawyer Daniel Boyce, Suri lay on the rattan rocking chair and said with emotion:
"This damn business can't continue. So what if I have a net worth of tens of billions of dollars? Are you being ripped off and have no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster?"

"take it easy"

Jiang Jiaya poured herself a cup of tea, moistened her mouth and said:

"Look at it from another perspective. You only have tens of billions of dollars, while the total market value of several media oligarchs is as high as hundreds of billions of dollars. They also control countless media organizations and have accumulated hundreds of years of experience. This is like you alone facing dozens of strong men. It seems normal to spend money to buy safety. I think being able to force them to attack you again and again is already a very remarkable achievement."

Laughing dumbly.

Suri continued:

"In fact, with the number of users of Tweet, TikTok, and Netflix Entertainment, if I choose to be aggressive, it is not completely impossible to scare them away. However, in this way, my other businesses, and even the life safety of me and my family, will be threatened. All will be affected.”

"You're right about one thing. It's really powerful enough to be able to make them join forces many times, but they still can't kill me."

"They are afraid of my billions of fans around the world, and they also recognize my ability to make money. Now I am worried that when the mainland's industry develops, these jackals and tigers will still do their same tricks and continue to try to take a bite out of me. Meat."

After Jiang Jiaya frowned and thought for a moment, she suggested:

"Perhaps you can take the initiative to cooperate with mainland official enterprises. This is a very powerful ally. It will not only facilitate future business, but also enhance your strength."

After listening.

Suri was not surprised. He had already considered similar issues and was just waiting for the right time.

Too lazy to worry about unsolvable problems.

Anyway, this is not the first time that he has lost money to eliminate disaster. Ever since he decided to start TikTok, he had already foreseen that something similar would happen sooner or later.

It's not specifically about Suri himself. If someone else controls a high-quality asset alone, it will also attract covetousness.

The founders of Silicon Valley Internet companies rarely hold more than 20% of their shares, otherwise it will be difficult to make the company bigger and stronger.

Take a short break.

Suri set out for the airport again and took a private plane to Paris, France.

He couldn't go all the way just to sign a contract. He asked people to collect some information on hotels and manors for sale in advance, and prepared to allocate more real estate and hold it as a stable asset for the long term.
