Chapter 209 Snakes
Andy stayed in San Francisco for two more days. In addition to Facebook stocks, he also transferred part of the equity of the company and Facebook and Apple stocks in his hands to Gaia Investment Consulting, which is composed of members of the Alvetre Think Tank. Of course, this Gaia Investment Consulting Company is Andy's private company.
Through cross-holding of some offshore shell companies, Andy avoided a lot of taxes under the suggestion of the think tank. Well, reasonable tax avoidance, Andy felt no guilt at all. What is his method? Compared with Apple, he is already a great person. After all, he still pays a little tax. Apple, the local US local US company, has just maintained a deficit and loss state and does not want to give it to the US dollar.
In this way, Alvetle can reasonably supervise Andy's company affairs, avoiding being deceived or underwritten by professional managers. After all, this kind of thing has happened. The founder of a home appliance group in Rabbit Kingdom was imprisoned, and the professional manager just wanted to turn against the enemy!
In this way, even if Andy is the boss, the think tank led by Al can help Andy manage and supervise as a trust. Of course, Andy is not so lazy. This is also considered to be an advance layout for the company to split or merge into a group in the future, go public and financing.
After all, the capital market is cruel. Unless Andy has always developed by his own funds, financing is inevitable in order to expand in the future. Then it is necessary to prepare in advance to prevent being maliciously acquired by others or occupying the nest.
Of course, in the past two days, he was busy with his subordinates. He only needed to sign some documents or authorizations with the help of the lawyer team. Most of the time he was just wandering around. Several development teams in the game company had traveled all over, and he also went to Facebook to contact Xiao Mazi to contact her.
Xiao Mazi was busy writing the ideas he had exchanged for stocks. There was time to chat with Andy there, and Xiao Mazi personally wrote the code. In the end, she really watched Andy wandering around in front of her, and directly knocked him away. When Andy left, she ridiculed Xiao Mazi for being jealous of his leisure.
Andy was still very proud of making Xiao Mazi jealous, especially when he once persuaded Xiao Mazi who stayed up late, "Make, you have to ensure your health, after all, I still need you to help me make money..."
It is conceivable that after listening to it, Xiao Mazi's expression was so ugly. Andy was no longer welcomed at Facebook, so she had to stay in her own game company to try games and pass the time.
However, Andy still prefers to play games on her mobile phone. Andy is really unable to complain about the currently scarce mobile games. Fortunately, there is still a "Snake Eats" that can kill time.
Wait... Snake gluttony! Fxxk, I'm just a pig! Damn, isn't this an obvious classic game?
Andy snapped his forehead suddenly, why can Nokia 3310 sell hundreds of millions of mobile phones around the world? The game "Greedy Snake" is definitely a huge contribution.
But then, Andy scratched his head a little. He had never heard of the production company of the game "Greedy Snake". Even if he entered the super god state, he had no clue.
What? The copyright of the game "Greedy Snake" is owned by Nokia!
Stop making fun of it, this statement is pure nonsense! However, even Nokia himself believes that the copyright belongs to them.
There was a big joke in my previous life. After Nokia was completely eliminated by smartphones, Microsoft decided to acquire the former mobile phone giant. When Microsoft acquired all Nokia's patents and took over 25,000 employees, when counting the patents, it could not find the copyright documents for "Snake" when it was counting. Microsoft was very concerned about this globally popular mobile game, so it forced the Nokia negotiator to hand over the copyright.
Nokia was also confused. Both parties were looking for patent documents in tens of thousands of ways. Finally, they found that the copyright of "Snake" did not belong to Nokia at all, and a third-party game institution popped up.
Everyone was stunned. The most uncomfortable thing was Microsoft. They came forward to discuss acquisition with the institution. What was even more ridiculous is that this game institution was just a hosting party.
It turned out that two people who made the game "Snake" were both systems engineers from the former Nokia company. They had a good job, but as soon as the smartphone arrived, Nokia quickly lost the market and laid off employees. The two were laid off. After leaving Nokia, the two hosted the copyright of the game to this game institution. At least Nokia would pay a copyright fee every year, but they used to go through the internal fee list, and no one cared about it.
Microsoft wanted to acquire the copyright, but the two of them disagree. Until Andy traveled through time, there was no further information on this matter.
As for the popular "Snake Battle" in Rabbit Country, haha, there is nothing to say. It's just a copycat infringement. It's obviously a Chinese Rabbit Country Studio, and it also uses Chinese pinyin to pretend to be high-end. What's even more hateful is that it is a stand-alone game, and what it has to do makes players feel illusioned is an Internet battle, which is really unconventional...
Andy didn't know what the third-party game organization was, but according to the time, the two engineers who developed the game "Snake" are still living in Nokia.
You can first find out the names of the two. After they are unemployed, they will come to buy the copyright of the game as soon as possible. If it really doesn't work, they will be recruited into their own company. In short, they must get it.
No matter how much you complain, "The Snake Battle" is still very classic. After all, it is a popular mobile game. Its viral spread speed has made the circle of friends. This kind of money-making weapon is naturally the most suitable one to hold in your own hands.
The copyright of "Snake Eats" must be obtained!
Andy's eyes were circling, but he still couldn't think of any clues. He had no acquaintances in Nokia, not to mention that Nokia's headquarters is far away in Finland.
But this is not a problem for him. There is nothing in the capital society that cannot be solved by Americans. I spent money to hire private detectives and asked private detectives in Finland to dig out these two people. After Apple hit Nokia with a fatal blow, he sent someone to contact these two people. If you buy the copyright, it will be OK. If you don’t sell it? It’s just unemployed people, just use money to spend it.
Besides, after the arrival of the smartphone era, the traditional "Snake" game also died. It was not a copycat company in Rabbit Kingdom. It was resurrected, but I still didn't know that it would be forgotten in that corner of history.
This matter was left to the fat man after returning to Los Angeles. He seemed to want to go to Europe to sell the copyrights of several reality shows, and he was still aimed at some small European countries, and just went to Finland to get things done.
