Jimmy stepped forward from behind Zhang Tianxing, about to speak, when Old Klin quickly interjected, "This can also be discussed. We will make the payment as soon as possible."
"I hope DaMo Investment Bank will provide Mr. Zhang with a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, I can guarantee that your DaMo Investment Bank will not be able to operate normally for a year," Jimmy's voice was cold. At this moment, Jimmy was expressionless, his face devoid of any warmth.
"Lawyer Jimmy, we at DaMo Investment Bank would like to hire you as our exclusive lawyer. The price is negotiable. Whatever Zhang Tianxing offers you, we will offer double," Old Klin suddenly said.
Humans die for wealth, birds die for food. Old Klin decided to test the waters, to see if this greedy cat, Jimmy, would take the bait.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Old Klin. While I am fond of money, I have my principles. This matter is about who came first. I apologize to DaMo. We have already signed a contract. We can cooperate in the future," Jimmy directly refused Old Klin's offer.
Buddy, this really wasn't worth it. He remembered how he had been bewitched into signing the agreement.
Now Old Klin was filled with regret. If he had another chance, he would have signed the agreement with Zhang Tianxing directly and then shorted the market himself.
There was no medicine for regret in the world. Old Klin could only face reality helplessly. He had tried to play rough, but Zhang Tianxing had hired the most famous legal debater in Boston.
This was someone Old Klin couldn't afford to offend. Known as a lawyer, he had never lost a case, his dazzling record was truly insurmountable.
"We hope you can transfer the money within a reasonable period, otherwise we will take action," Jimmy's emotionless voice rang out.
"Alright, how about within twenty working days?" Old Klin forced out a smile uglier than a cry and asked cautiously.
"Scram. Twenty working days is almost a month. How about this: pay two hundred million now, and the remaining nine hundred million within a week, or face the consequences," Jimmy said, glancing at Zhang Tianxing, and directly stated the conclusion.
He didn't care about Old Klin's reaction. This was just a notification, not a request for his opinion.
Old Klin was stunned, frozen in place, completely at a loss.
"Old Klin, don't just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and get permission. Time is life," Jimmy kindly reminded him.
Old Klin shivered all over and quickly got up and ran towards the chairman's office. This matter was too big, and he was too small to bear the responsibility.
Jimmy politely said to Zhang Tianxing in a low voice, "Mr. Zhang, please rest assured, the two hundred million US dollars will definitely be in your account today. The rest will be settled within a week."
"No way, that middle-aged man just ran out to get instructions, and he hasn't even agreed to pay yet." This lawyer was too arrogant, talking nonsense here about something undecided. The lawyer Mr. Zhang hired didn't seem very reliable, Guo Jiajia thought indignantly.
"He will agree. We are just here to inform him. If he doesn't comply, then DaMo Investment Bank has no reason to exist. I will make him go bankrupt in the shortest possible time. Believe me, I have the ability," Jimmy said in a deep voice.
If he didn't have some skills, he wouldn't have earned the name "flashy lawyer." Jimmy was confident. For him, this was not a problem at all.
"By the way, Boss Zhang, you haven't told me about your recruitment plan yet. Stop playing coy and tell me soon. I'm dying of curiosity," Guo Jiajia thought for a long time but couldn't figure out Zhang Tianxing's way to break the deadlock.
"It's like this. We will establish an office here. We will recruit people under the name of this office, and then send them back to China to work."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Guo Jiajia was stunned. Was there a difference? Her two big eyes were full of confusion. It seemed the same.
Seeing Guo Jiajia's blank expression, Zhang Tianxing chuckled, "You taste it, you taste it, you carefully taste it."
"I still haven't figured it out. Is there a difference?" Guo Jiajia still couldn't understand.
"To put it simply, it's high salaries. It's just that this office is set up here, and recruitment is done here. If they are sent back to China to work, there will be an additional travel allowance. In this way, the salary will be much higher."
It was still about throwing money at the problem. Talking about ideals or patriotism now was all empty talk. Those who were sincere would naturally return without being told.
Most of the people looking for jobs here were not planning to go back.
"How about this, Sister Jiajia, you can simply divide the team's responsibilities later. We will start research and development work soon, and performance-based pay will be linked to the number of patents applied for."
"Wouldn't that be bad? Wouldn't that lead to a large number of useless patents being generated?"
"That's a good question. We will also set up a subsequent bonus, which will be for the application of patents."
"You want to learn from Qualcomm, with patents as king?" Guo Jiajia asked with a smile.
Zhang Tianxing nodded. This was also a last resort. If you can't beat them, join them, this is an eternal truth.
What to do if there are no patents now? Apply directly, and develop derivative patents.
While everyone was talking, Old Klin returned, looking helpless.
"Mr. Zhang, two hundred million US dollars will arrive today. As for the remaining seven hundred million US dollars, give us time, and the transfer will be completed within ten days. This is the instruction from our chairman."
There was no choice. One had to admit that Zhang Tianxing's actions were flawless. If Jimmy hadn't come with him...
Old Klin had the urge to kill and sink a beauty at that moment, but he thought of Jimmy's capabilities.
He was a lawyer who could get him sent to jail in minutes, and if he performed exceptionally, he could even get the judge and jury sent in. He was truly terrified.
Hearing this, Jimmy's brow furrowed. They dared to bargain. Was Zhang Tianxing satisfied with this?
Zhang Tianxing nodded with satisfaction. This timeframe was acceptable. He would go and see the technicians they had hired later and assign a team to carry out patent research first.
The early bird catches the worm. Now, using CmdA's technology for research and development would drive the iterative upgrading of the technology.
"Boss Zhang, you are very rich now. There's no need to take such risks. In my opinion, if you play your cards slowly, things will only get better," Guo Jiajia couldn't understand why Zhang Tianxing, the richer he got, the more he ventured into different industries.
Fortunately, she came from an investment background and understood a little about everything, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to understand the tasks Zhang Tianxing assigned.
What was most infuriating was that Zhang Tianxing had crossed industries multiple times to do other things, but each time he surprised everyone. It seemed Zhang Tianxing never failed, and he made money every time.
Hopefully, this venture into the mobile phone industry would be the same. This industry was a trending sector, but the technical barriers depended on whether they could be broken. Patents were king.
