Global Entrepreneurship Summit, also known as Global Entrepreneurship Week.It is an entrepreneurial communication platform first launched by country y in 2004.The main purpose is to motivate young entrepreneurs in country y and provide them with better entrepreneurial conditions.In order to achieve this goal, the government of country y also invited well-known domestic investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders from all walks of life, as well as experts and professors from well-known universities in country y to participate in this event.These people will spend a week investigating the young entrepreneurs who come to the entrepreneurial summit and their projects. If they are worthy of investment and support, the two parties will sign an investment contract, or the government will help solve part of the entrepreneurial funds.

Because the effect and social response of the first session were very good, the government of country y decided to maintain this entrepreneurship summit.And Guo, who has been paying attention to the dynamics of the global economy, is also deeply inspired and plans to establish his own entrepreneurial summit in 2005—but Guo has even greater ambitions.The country that has been promoting economic globalization is ready to take this opportunity to host a global entrepreneurial summit.While providing entrepreneurial opportunities for young entrepreneurs around the world, we also want the world to see China's influence in the world.

Considering the status of Silicon Valley in the minds of entrepreneurs, especially entrepreneurs in the high-tech industry, the Chinese government decided to hold the first Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Silicon Valley.All the well-known IT bosses in Silicon Valley have received invitations to this entrepreneurial summit—of course not only in Silicon Valley, but also in Wall Street and other regions, including investors, business leaders, experts and scholars who have also received this invitation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the joint guests of this Global Entrepreneurship Summit can really control the lifeline of the global economy.

As the most active investor and entrepreneur in Wall Street and Silicon Valley in recent years, Lu Chi's arrival naturally attracted much attention.

"My dear Lu!" Rufus Connery, who was wearing a white round neck T-shirt and blue washed jeans, came up through the crowd, put his arms around Lu Chi, and said enthusiastically, "Look at how much you are The popularity. Like the queen at the prom! The fat that fell into the wolf's den! Active in the..."

Before Rufus could continue the comparison, Lu Chi quickly waved his hand to interrupt his recitation.

"Okay!" Rufus Connelly shrugged regretfully.Silicon Valley tycoons have been particularly interested in Shakespeare's operas recently.It's a pity that there are not many friends around who share the same interests as him.

For a while, Rufus Connelly looked at Lu Chi full of resentment.

However, Lu Chi, who can only write poems at the level of "the airport is full of people, I'm the only single dog", obviously can't care about Rufus Connelly's overly elegant preferences.He didn't even recognize that Rufus Connelly's parallelism was in Shakespeare's accent, he just felt that the voice and sentence, as well as Rufus Connelly's sad eyes from time to time, made him uncontrollably jump up. goosebumps.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and several other Silicon Valley tycoons and Wall Street investors also gathered around in unison.In order not to affect the normal process of the summit, a group of bigwigs hid in a corner chatting and chatting.However, the status of these people has determined that no matter where they are, they must be the focus of everyone's attention.

The TV reporters who were in charge of recording the entire summit process flocked to interview Wall Street and Silicon Valley leaders about their views on the summit.

Lu Chi, who never liked being interviewed, backed away silently.A group of reporters looked at Lu Chi Shi Shiran's back eagerly, but they really wanted to stick to it.However, they didn't have the guts—after all, financiers at the top of the Wall Street pyramid are different from business leaders in other fields and Hollywood stars—with Lu's ability to make trouble in the financial market, these reporters really If you offend others, the TV station or newspaper office may really face the situation of "Tianliang Wang breaks" when you turn back.

After all, the major shareholders of these TV stations and newspapers are all listed companies.And Lu Chi's ability is that he can always use various methods to influence the stock price of listed companies!

Besides, Lu Chi is not only a figure at the top of the Wall Street pyramid, but also the campus network controlled by him is the world's largest social platform.Everyone knows that those who control public opinion should not be messed with.People who control both public opinion and capital should not be messed with.

So even if these reporters were impatient and eager to see through, they could only watch Lu Chi walk away.

However, Lu Chi, who sneaked away, was not free as he wished—he was stopped by two young men.Even though they tried their best to tidy up, their clothes, hairstyles, and even their bloodshot eyes betrayed their current situation—distressed.

Lu Chi looked at the two familiar young men with some doubts.

"Hello, Mr. Lu." One of the red-haired, blue-eyed, freckled young people introduced himself embarrassingly: "We met once before. At a certain celebration party on Wall Street. You Once said that he was very interested in our music player..."

Having said that, the young man with red hair, blue eyes and freckles shut up in shame, and buttoned his cuffs cautiously.

Lu Chi was stunned, and the embarrassing past when he was blocked in the bathroom by two entrepreneurs when he went to the bathroom at a Wall Street celebration party immediately appeared in his mind.

At the same time, Lu Chi also immediately remembered: "...the two of you did not accept the investment from Yuelu Fund."

Lu Chi's calm statement made the two troubled young people more and more embarrassed: "Yes. We didn't accept the investment from Yuelu Fund at the beginning... I'm very sorry..."

"It's nothing." Lu Chi shook his head and interrupted the apology of the two young people: "Investment cooperation, after all, both parties need to sit down and discuss the terms of cooperation. This is a process of constant weighing between you and me. Investors have capital. Demand, the entrepreneur also has its own valuation and requirements, and the two parties can naturally sign the contract successfully when they reach an agreement. It is also normal for the negotiation to fail due to the inability to reach an agreement. A distinctive feature of the commodity society is the freedom of buying and selling, not that I introduced When you come to Leap Deer Fund, you must accept the investment from Leap Deer Fund. Wouldn’t that be forced buying and selling?”

Lu Chi's joke reassured the two young people a little bit - even though Lu Chi was a few years younger than the two entrepreneurs, given Lu Chi's great reputation in Wall Street and Silicon Valley, no one really dared to use age as such. This trivial matter belittles Lu Chi's ability and influence.

"Anyway, I still have to thank you. Of course, I'm sorry..." The two young people looked at each other: "We were not dissatisfied with the conditions given by Leap Deer Fund before, but we were blinded by profit and were invested by another company. The company's 3000 million investment has fascinated the eyes. I have never considered other..."

However, after the actual contract was signed, the two young people realized that the 3000 million yuan was not so easy to get.The employer laid many traps when drawing up the terms of the contract. The two young people also asked a lawyer to help them read the contract, but they did not expect that the lawyer they hired had already been bought by the employer, and the lawyer did not explain many terms to them at all.So much so that after the two young people signed the contract in a daze, they found out that their music player had been locked up by the employer.

The other party used various financial means and made many tricks, and the two young entrepreneurs couldn't understand them at all.The website model can only be continuously modified according to the terms of the contract and according to the requirements of the employer.In the first few months, the music playback site has really changed a lot, the traffic has become more, and the influence has become very good.At this time, the investor suddenly proposed to add a VAM agreement. The general idea is to set a very high goal for the website. If the two young people can complete the goal within the specified time, the investor will reward the two young people with an extra percentage. tenth of the shares.But if the goal is not achieved, instead of getting [-]% of the shares of this extra reward, the two creators will have to pay the investors [-]% of the shares.

As early as when signing the contract, the two young people had already given up 3000% of the shares in order to get an investment of 49.99 million.If the investor agrees to the gambling contract, the two young people can take back 10% of the shares if they win, and lose the controlling stake in the website if they fail.

This kind of VAM contract, which is basically not very decisive, would not agree to it at all if it were replaced by an "old and cunning" investor like Lu Chi.However, the two young entrepreneurs were fascinated by the success in front of them, and resolutely agreed.

The result is also obvious.Just in the second week after the two young entrepreneurs signed the gambling clause, several major record companies and musicians in the country suddenly filed infringement compensation in the court, arguing that the music playback website of the two young people infringed their copyright. All kinds of songs and concert videos add up, and record companies and musicians have filed a total of 3000 million compensation claims.And requires music playback sites to remove all these infringing songs and videos from the shelves.

As soon as this incident came out, there was no doubt that the gambling terms signed by the two young people failed at the very beginning.What's more deadly is that the investor found a supplementary clause in the contract that the two young people hadn't noticed at all on the grounds that the music playback website was sued and harmed the investor's interests (to the effect that if two entrepreneurs or It is because of the website that caused the reputation loss of the investor, Party B must compensate in the form of shares)...

All in all, after infringement prosecution.After the terms of the bet failed, the two young entrepreneurs lost more shares inexplicably—then they were kicked out of the website management by the investors—

The other party has stolen their music playback site for themselves.

The two young entrepreneurs thought hard for a long time before realizing in a daze that they might have been tricked.When they were furious and took the contract and wanted to defend their rights—at least get back the 3000 million funds promised by the investor, they were shocked to find that what the investor promised from the beginning to the end was only to invest 3000 million gold in the website—— They did, and now the website is owned by the investor, so the investor only needs to transfer 3000 million gold to the account of the website to fulfill the contract.

But the real founders of the music playback site - the two young people who have been kicked out - get nothing.

This, this is simply the most arrogant robbery in the world.

"We fell for it! They didn't invest in our music website sincerely at all! They thought about how to steal our music player from the very beginning!" The two young people said with a look of remorse: "Damn it, we actually fell into the trap." We are so stupid... Really stupid..."

Lu Chi nodded, a little sympathetic to these two young people who had just walked out of the school gate and were covered in capital malice.However, this investment model, of course, also includes the capital operation model that squeezes out entrepreneurs, which is indeed a routine that Wall Street is accustomed to.Many, many entrepreneurs have fallen into the trap of capital in this way.The two young men are not the first entrepreneurs to encounter bad luck, and they certainly won't be the last.

What made Lu Chi even more curious——

"So..." Lu Chi blinked and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
