On October 10, Henry finally completed the negotiations with Carnegie, personally returned to Riverside Town, reported the negotiations to Li Mu, and asked Li Mu to go to Pittsburgh to sign the contract.
Henry's work was fruitful, and Carnegie-McCandles Steel would receive a series of patents on "cross-hatch screws" by Li Mu, for which Carnegie-McCandles Steel would pay Li Mu royalties.
At the same time, Li Mu invested $20,000 in Carnegie-McCandris Steel, occupying 12 percent of the shares of Carnegie-McCandris Steel.
Twelve percent, less than Li Mu expected, but considering that only 20,000 US dollars were invested, the business was already very cost-effective.
You must know that in order to establish the Carnegie McCandris Steel Company, the Carnegie and Colloman brothers invested a total of 750,000 US dollars, of which Carnegie personally contributed 250,000 US dollars, which is the largest shareholder of the company, and Li Mu only contributed 20,000 US dollars to occupy 12 percent of the shares.
The profession of lawyers has always been criticized in the United States, and many people think that lawyers have no bottom line, no discipline, no justice and fairness, and only serve money.
To be honest, Li Mu doesn't like lawyers either, but it is undeniable that Henry is still very professional as a lawyer, since he took Li Mu's money, Henry will serve Li Mu wholeheartedly and try his best to fight for Li Mu's interests, this professional attitude must be affirmed.
In fact, Li Mu did not want to go to Pittsburgh, but preferred to let Carnegie come to Springfield and sign a contract with Carnegie in Springfield, but Carnegie wanted to open the steel company as soon as possible to end the current dilemma of making ends meet, so every minute is very precious for Carnegie.
After the contract is signed, Carnegie's steel company will also become Li Mu's steel company, so it is natural for Carnegie to let Li Mu go to Pittsburgh to sign the contract, all of which are for the factory.
"This time we did a good job, go back and have a good rest for two days, and let's go to Pittsburgh together the day after tomorrow."
Li Mu said, placing an envelope in front of Henry.
Li Mu's attic is now separated, with a separate bedroom and office, in Li Mu's office, in addition to the large extraordinary desk, there is also a bull head decoration that is particularly eye-catching, this is a common bison head specimen in North America, fierce and violent, full of wildness, the key is that the two eyes are very expressive, the eyes are ringed eyebrows, tiger-eyed, very similar to the logo of the Chicago Bulls, so Li Mu is happy to see the hunt, even if the shopkeeper asks for fifty dollars, Li Mu still did not hesitate to buy it.
The envelope contained five hundred dollars, and in addition to the subsidy for this business trip, there was also a reward from Li Mu to Henry.
Li Mu was very satisfied with Henry's work, so he was generous, under normal circumstances, Henry, a lawyer, might not have earned so much in the previous year.
This is not sensational, the legal awareness of Americans in these years is still very weak, and there is generally no awareness of using the law as a weapon to protect their own interests, so although Henry, a lawyer, has a high social status, his business is not very good.
Obviously, Henry was satisfied with the thickness of the envelope, of course, Henry did not open it directly in front of Li Mu, and put the envelope into the leather bag he carried with him, Henry did not forget to remind Li Mu: "Now is not the time to rest, you need a company now, and then carry out all these economic activities in the name of the company, which is not only convenient to do, but most importantly, you can avoid taxes." ” This tax avoidance does not mean tax evasion, but reasonable and legal avoidance, although the provisions of US law on taxes are detailed, it is not without loopholes, and it is very reasonable to open a company to avoid taxes.
"You're right, we need a company, what name is it?"
Henry's suggestion was timely, and Li Mu was as good as a stream.
"Whatever, Rim Investments, Rim Financial, or Lee's," Henry suggested, the name was chosen very casually, and it was not very eye-catching.
"I like the name Reem Investment."
Li Mu chose one casually, and then immediately overturned it: "Wait, why use my name, can't we use something else, such as Wu Qi, how about this name?"
"Wu Hu is not bad, but except for us, who knows what Wu Qi is" Henry has no opinion, this is Li Mu's company, Li Mu wants to give it a name Henry doesn't care.
Henry knew that Li Mu's horse was called Wu Hu, in fact, Americans are very casual in this regard, it doesn't matter what name they want, and it is normal to name the company after a kitten or a puppy.
"It's decided, sooner or later, I will let all Americans know that Wu Hu is a thousand-mile horse."
Li Mu made a pun, ready to make "Wu Qi" a blockbuster: "Since you are so eager to work, then go and find out how much it costs to build a factory, what machines need to be purchased, I want to build a factory for the production of weapons, specifically for the production of weapons for personal self-defense and hunting, I have already thought of the logo of the factory." ” Li Mu said, handing Henry a piece of paper with a black horse with its front hooves in the air.
That's right, it's the logo of Ferrari, but there are no cars in these years, so naturally there is no infringement, which is Li Mu's "original".
"Okay, no problem, I'm going to the Springfield Arsenal to-morrow, and I'll need a shotgun," Henry got up to take his leave, and did not forget to compliment him as he left: "Very beautiful sign, more memorable than Colt's." ” It is indeed stronger than Colt's, Colt's current symbol is the scene of Colt's invention of the revolver, and Colt will also use a pony as a symbol in a few years, Li Mu's current choice is very intriguing.
Henry just came back from a business trip, and today he and his wife are newly married, Li Mu will no longer find Mrs.
Henry to learn French, and then guide Yan Hu and Yan Shun to learn English, these two people have made rapid progress, not only thanks to the complete context, but also thanks to Li Mu's strict requirements.
Li Mu now stipulates that Yan Hu and Yan Shun must use English no matter what they do, even at home, this requirement makes Yan Shun can barely cope with it, Yan Hu is depressed and crazy, and he can't say a few words all day long.
Lao Yantou and Yan's mother agreed with Li Mu's regulations, and even took the initiative to help Li Mu supervise Yan Hu and Yan Shun, not only that, but Lao Yan and Yan's mother themselves were also learning English.
In fact, everyone is improving
