Start by trimming cow hooves

After a short nap.

Suri found the people from Adi Company.

The director responsible for negotiating the renewal of the Coconut Shoes licensing contract and designers under Adidas have been waiting for him on Lanai Island for nearly a week.

It’s different from other business trips.

This group of people had a great time on Lanai and had no intention of going home in a hurry.

Since he had been enjoying beach bathing all day long, his skin color had become noticeably darker. He wore floral shirts and big pants, and would say "ah ha" to everyone he met.

When he saw Suri, he finally remembered that there was still work to do.

After more than an hour of discussion with Suri, secretary Amanda acted as the black face, argued hard, threatened to split the brand and open a separate store, and negotiated an increase in the net profit share to 25%.

Because Suri was very famous and had no shortage of investment funds, the other party was worried about breaking up with him.

You must know that since this year, coconut shoes have contributed tens of millions of dollars in profits to Adidas. They are currently the most profitable high-end single product and have every opportunity to develop further.

So during coffee.

The director in charge of the negotiations would rather give up some profit sharing and let Suri sign a new licensing agreement for ten years to keep the company's cash cow.

Considering that Adi's sales channels are all over the world.

Suri opened a store by himself, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and he might not necessarily earn more than he does now. He felt that the other party was sincere, so after securing a 25% profit-sharing agreement, he readily agreed to renew it.

Immediately afterwards.

With the assistance of lawyers, the two parties signed a memorandum and then began discussing with designers the appearance ideas for turtle shell bags and second-generation coconut shoes.

It's about five o'clock in the evening.

Suri was eating pineapple ice cream and was saying:

"You need to pay more attention to the design of the shoes. The appearance needs to be more fashionable. In addition, I also want to introduce slippers suitable for outdoor wear. For example, design a slipper that focuses on the feeling of stepping on excrement and feels as soft as stepping on cow dung. The appearance can be Cartoon shark, calf or cat shapes, etc., rounder and fatter, similar to Crocs.”

There were a total of four designers at the table, all busy taking notes.

At this time, someone raised a finger, interrupted Suri and asked:

"The idea of ​​stepping on shit is very interesting, and it is also a topic of hype. Some materials can achieve that soft feeling on the feet. You need to try it more. But... what are Crocs?"

"."

Suri doesn’t know exactly when Crocs were invented.

At this moment, I am a bit suspicious that it has not appeared on the market, but I am afraid that if I borrow from existing styles, there will be rumors of plagiarism afterwards, which will affect the brand image of coconut shoes.

His mind was flashing with lightning, and he thought it was necessary to search online. He looked calm and replied:

"A little new inspiration, let me think about it for a while tonight, and we will continue to discuss it tomorrow. Let's break up now. Oh, and who can spare some time to help me design some cartoon characters for my cats? Uniforms for the employees on the island It’s too monotonous, so I’m going to customize short sleeves with a cat face on the chest. If it meets my requirements, I can give you some benefits, such as a design fee of two thousand US dollars, or a bottle of Romanee-Conti red wine.”

Of course, the company does not allow private work.

The supervisor in charge of the negotiation had no objection after listening, clapped his hands and said:

"You heard it, everyone should try it when we go back. I have never tasted such good red wine. It is said that the starting price is thousands of dollars. It would be good to earn an extra two thousand dollars. Then I can charter a boat to go out to watch whales, or Buy some gifts to take home.”

Have rested for several days.

Having received a new assignment at short notice, and with the benefits, these designers were quite active and took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Daju.

Daddario was lying on a hammock not far away, enjoying the quiet time with the sea breeze. Seeing Suri waving to him, he slowly walked over and asked:

"Have you finished chatting? The time is just right. The Pakistani giant beef stewed rice in the restaurant should have been cooked. I just heard other tourists talk about it and said they must try it."

She was wearing a cool white shirt with a swimsuit underneath.

As a man, whenever he sees Dadario, he always gives him that look to show respect.

Suri put his arm around her shoulders and told:

"We've settled it for the time being, so let's go have a giant pot of rice tonight, and I'll take you to try roasted venison when I have time tomorrow."

Walk along the garden path towards the Four Seasons Hotel.

Daddario picked a small flower, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said with a smile:

"When I come here, I don't want to do anything. I just want to drink until I'm tipsy and lie down and enjoy the scenery. Although doing business is a bit troublesome and not suitable for businessmen to make money, it's really comfortable."

Secretary Amanda interjected:

"Who said it's not suitable for making money? It's obvious that you are making money all the time, and you don't have to stay in an office building every day to call it a business. The reputation of Lanai Island has greatly increased, and the tourism business is still improving. It has increased in value by at least 100 million U.S. dollars. The market valuation of Netflix Entertainment has also increased by US$150 million. Taking into account other investment value-added projects, Suri's net worth has increased by approximately US$300 million in the past month and a half."

".real!?"

Daddario was deeply surprised. After all, Suri seemed to be very busy every day after meeting her.

Suri wanted to say, "Get out of the way, I'm going to start pretending."

But this is not a media interview or a party. Showing off is very unfulfilling. After listening, I only added:

"Calculating assets is meaningless, especially Netflix and Facebook, which have just started. Others have suffered heavy losses this year, but I have made steady progress. I should be able to advance dozens of places on the Forbes list and enter Within the range of 300 to 400, set a small goal first and strive to be in the top 100 in five years and the top five in ten years.”

Although Suri is a super rich man, in Daddario's view, compared with the long-famous Bill Gates, stock god Buffett, Oracle's Larry Ellison and others, the gap is as big as a chasm.

It is true that he is wealthy.

But those guys who are in the top five of the Forbes rich list are more like legendary existences, and people look up to them.

Daddario thought Suri was joking.

Secretary Amanda said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"This requires some luck. Smartphones are starting to become popular. Facebook has a lot of room for growth. If Netflix Entertainment accumulates five million subscribers and maintains a strong growth trend, its valuation should reach tens of billions of dollars. If more If you invest in a few successful projects, the possibility of achieving your goals will be even higher.”

Suri only told: "I already have some ideas."

Daddario, who was a bit messy and knew little about the Internet business in Silicon Valley, said blankly:

"Five million subscribers, a valuation of 10 billion US dollars? Even Sony Columbia Pictures is not worth that much money."

Suri explained helpfully:

"The number of subscribers is not the most critical. Investors will pay more attention to its growth potential in the early stages."

"If we gain five million subscribers quickly, it means that we are developing in the right direction and that online TV can be a successful path. This is the key."

"After the launch of self-made dramas, once the number of active users soars month by month, and Netflix's traffic can be directly monetized, maybe within two or three years, it will have the opportunity to grow into a streaming media giant with a market value of over 10 billion US dollars."

Something was delayed today, there is only one chapter, |(￣3￣)|
