Chapter 475 474. Cooperative Reform (3)
Li Du took care of the armor, and Hans took care of the hunting knives brought by the Hopi tribe.
The most valuable one was made of antlers polished into a handle. Li Du saw that Hans liked it, so he gave this knife to him.
This was to make up for the loss he caused Hans by taking away the jeweled dagger. Although Hans didn't care, he was still a little bit sorry.
Not only the gemstone dagger, but also the Patek Philippe watch. In short, he needs to change his relationship with Hans now, otherwise conflicts will gradually arise between the two parties in the future.
Hans posted all twenty-five Zimu knives and forty-nine hunting knives on the Internet, Li Du asked him to keep five Zimu knives and nine hunting knives, and sold the rest.
These things are very popular outside. The handmade hunting knives carefully crafted by the Indians are the best companions for all travel enthusiasts.
Each set of Zimu knives sold for 800 yuan, and each set of hunting knives sold for 200 yuan. A total of 24,000 yuan was recovered.
There is not much money, but it is better than nothing, at least it can be used to subsidize the family.
When Hans came to ask him to share the money, Li Du waved his hands to show he was not in a hurry, and said, "Boss Fu, there is something I want to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
Li Du said: "I think the recent auctions we participated in didn't yield much, and it was a bit too petty. I want to expand the scale and form a small company."
Hans said: "Do you want to form a company? I think this is feasible. Will our cooperation method change?"
Yes, that's why Li Du approached him to discuss. Hans is also very smart, and he has seen the deeper meaning of him since he founded the company.
Li Du had long wanted to change the way of cooperation. It wasn't that he crossed the river and demolished bridges or unloaded mills and killed donkeys. After gaining a firm foothold in this industry, he would kick Hans away.
In fact, he feels very good about Hans and is willing to continue working with him, but something happened to make him understand that this cooperation model cannot last for a long time.
The little flying insect's ability is very powerful, and it can help him find many things that he should not be able to find in theory. If he finds something too many times, Hans will inevitably become suspicious.
For example, Patek Philippe watches, such as jeweled sabers, and this Arabic bronze hand, these are not things that can be obtained by ordinary treasure hunters.
These things are too valuable. After Li Du got them, according to the agreement, he had to share the proceeds with Hans equally, but these things were not suitable to appear on the market.
Otherwise, not only Hans will become suspicious, but other people who are paying attention to him will also become suspicious.
For example, Ma Zhian, when he didn't know Li Dumo, he discovered that he had extraordinary treasure hunting ability. Wouldn't it be more suspicious if he was replaced by other treasure hunters or people in related industries?
Some things, after he got them, he could only store them temporarily, so that he would have conflicts with Hans. Apparently, Hans prefers to exchange for cash.
If he doesn't let Hans see it, but hides it secretly, this can solve the conflict between the two parties.
He can do this, but he doesn't want to do it, which conflicts with his principles of being a human being, and the conflict is great.
Based on a series of reasons, he decided to change the way of cooperation with Hans.
"To set up a company, you and I are both shareholders, but I control the company. I'm in charge of searching, and you are in charge of sales. The income is still divided equally." Li Du said.
Hans asked strangely: "Why do you do this? Is it any different from our cooperation?"
Li Du said: "There is a big difference. The biggest difference is that I will provide what you want to sell. If I get something and it is not convenient to sell it temporarily, then I will not give it to you for sale."
This is his ultimate goal, to obtain the ownership of the lot.
In this mode, he has the control and Hans has the disposal.
Hans understood the relationship, and nodded without hesitation: "OK, I accept this cooperation model."
Li Du heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Okay, but don't you think I'm going too far?"
Hans patted him on the shoulder and said, "Of course not. If I have the ability like you, but I have to bring a burden like Hans Fox, I would have been unwilling to do so long ago, and would have thrown him away long ago!"
Li Du said: "No, Boss Fu, I never thought about it that way."
He really didn't want to get rid of Hans and go it alone, he just wanted to take control, and there were some things he hoped only he knew.
Hans said, "I understand, Lee, you've done everything you can to your partner, and you're a very good partner."
The two parties agree, and then the new company can be registered.
Hans is a legal person, and Li Du has the initiative.
In the end, their cooperation method changed a bit, that is, after the items obtained through the auction are sold normally, Li Du gets 50% of the proceeds, Hans gets 40%, and the other 10% is used to pay salaries and bonuses to other employees .
The company name is Lee-Fox Associates, using the surnames of both parties, concise and clear.
In addition to the existing four people, Lu Guan was also recruited, and the company became five people.
Five people are not many, but each has its own purpose:
Godzilla and Dao are deterred by force and manual labor, Hans is mainly responsible for sales, and he and Lu Guan go to find warehouse sources.
Li Du is the boss, responsible for inspecting the warehouse and issuing orders during the auction.
They had a poor harvest in September, so after the company was established, Li Du held the first company meeting.
The number of people was small, so there was no need to set up a meeting room. In fact, there was no meeting room in the camp, so he asked Da Ao to light a bonfire at night, and everyone held a meeting while grilling meat.
Lu Guan's mouth is full of chatter: "Are we having a meeting? Well, this meeting mode is really unique, but I like it. I'm here to make money. We must be able to make money, right? I've heard about it for a long time. It has surpassed the prestige of Boss Li..."
Godzilla was dumbfounded: "Your words, so fast."
"What's the point? It doesn't take much effort. You speak with the strength of a dumbbell. Look at my tongue. You can say these words with just a slight flick of your tongue..."
Seeing that the official is going to teach Godzilla how to play tongue twisters, Li Du clapped his hands and said, "Be quiet, everyone, eat when your mouth feels uncomfortable. You don't need to speak next, just listen to me."
"You're the boss, you say." Hans expressed his support.
Li Du said: "We are making too little money now. There are enough warehouses in Arizona for us to choose. You have to cheer up, not only to choose warehouses, but also to inquire about the news!"
"Inside information?" Lu Guan still took the opportunity to say something.
Li Du rolled his eyes: "Yes, insider information, what are you looking for if you don't ask for insider information?"
After he finished speaking, he began to turn the bonfire.
The four of them waited for a while, and Hans said, "Man, what else do you want to say?"
Li Du: "Oh, I'm done."
four people:"……"
