Chapter 1108: that's it
Although Edgar Bronfman’s attempt to acquire Firefly Electronics was rejected in the past few days, Eric’s equity incentives for Firefly Electronics were as generous as Yahoo’s.
After careful consideration, Eric finally decided to transfer 12.5 million shares of Firefly Electronics' total share capital of 250 million to the core executives and elite employees of Firefly Electronics at a low price.
12.5 million shares, equivalent to 5% of the total share capital of Firefly Electronics, according to the industry's general valuation of Firefly Electronics about 30 billion US dollars, the value of this equity has reached 1.5 billion US dollars, than Yahoo when implementing the 20% equity incentive program The total value of the granted stock is 50% higher.
Firefly Electronics has risen too fast. At the beginning, it did not sign the equity incentive contract like Yahoo. In terms of tax avoidance and other considerations, this equity incentive did not adopt a free gift.
However, Eric also only transferred the stock at a low price of about 10 times, the price per share is only 32 US dollars, roughly equivalent to a quarter of the market price of 120 US dollars. Moreover, executives and employees who have the right to subscribe will only need to apply for a zero-coupon loan to pay for the stock subscription payment from the firefly investment. In the future, they will be repaid through the company's dividends. In fact, it is not a penny.
Of course, it's easy, but the stock is also accompanied by very strict restrictions.
During this time, as major electronics manufacturers announced their entry into the field of digital music players, Firefly Electronics also showed signs of a large loss of employees. However, with the implementation of this equity incentive program, this trend will also be effectively curbed.
In the afternoon, I arrived in Palo Alto, San Francisco. At the end of the meeting, the sky was over.
Caroline was invited to go home by Melanie, and Eric also deliberately gave this Nizi a few days off. When I want to go back to Los Angeles.
In the evening, after attending a reception hosted by Larry Ellison, Eric returned to Atherton’s residence with his own wine party, which was close to eleven o'clock.
Along with the surging market of the Nasdaq, the entire Silicon Valley is clearly filled with an impetuous atmosphere. The Atherton rich area, which should have been quiet at this time, is still very embarrassing.
Eric's car shuttles through the Atherton neighborhood. From time to time, there are some men and women who are obviously unfinished. In more and more brightly-lit mansions, the endless party continues.
Not to mention other time, just two months in 1999, the Nasdaq market has more than 100 large and small technology companies to achieve ipo, people who have not experienced this period must not believe this. Crazy, but this is a real fact. Some technology companies can easily borrow millions of dollars from a single business solution that exists entirely on ppt, thus creating a large number of millions or even billionaires who have become rich overnight. .
The car drove into Eric's mansion in Atherton. After getting off the bus, Eric unexpectedly heard the faint noise coming from the neighboring mansion, and even the scream of the woman, although due to the size of the mansion Very big, the sound coming from next door is not too noisy, I believe that I can avoid it when I enter the room, but he still can't help but frown.
Meyer followed Eric and noticed his expression, explaining: "The next door is Jean Louis Garcy, the founder of the company, who was originally an Apple executive and was later driven out of Apple by Jobs. In the past few years, Apple almost used the beos operating system developed by Jean-Louis Garcia, but the other party’s offer price was too high, requiring 15% of Apple’s shares. At that time, EO John Sculley did not pass the cooperation plan. However, the company has recently been listed, and the antitrust investigations that Microsoft has encountered have made the stocks of other operating system companies on the market very popular. The market value of the company has recently exceeded $1 billion."
Eric just nodded and was not interested in the desktop operating systems that were destined to be eliminated. Entering the villa with Meyer, the faint noise disappeared completely, and he took off his suit and pulled the tie and lay comfortably on the living room sofa.
"Mary, let me put a song for me. Can you guess what song I want to hear now?"
Meyer helped Eric to hang up his suit, and he planned to go to the kitchen to pour Eric to the glass of water. He still drank some wine tonight.
Upon hearing this, the girl turned to a digital sound in the corner of the living room. This is a music player product developed by Firefly Electronics R&D department, but Eric does not want the Firefly electronic distracting portable music player. The product line was therefore rejected, but a set of very beautiful looking prototypes was placed in the villa.
It was only after a while that the slow and slow accompaniment of "young-and-beautiul" rang.
* See the bustling, vicissitudes of life.
* Heart and mind are tired.
* Drunken gold fans, cups to change, it is like a passing.
* Midsummer nights.
*Under July.
* We are young and frivolous, not afraid of the long years.
* We are indulging in time until the Hua Deng begins.
*...
Eric moved his body down on the sofa satisfactorily, resting a pillow on his back, smashing his shoes on his feet, and arbitrarily tilting his legs on the armrests on the other side of the sofa, enjoying the sound of music around him.
There was a faint woman fragrance between the nose, Eric opened his eyes again, Meyer appeared next to him, holding a glass of water in his hand, leaning over and handing over, a faint blond hair hanging down.
Eric didn't pick up the cup, just reached out to catch the fluttering blond hair, then slowly climbed up and touched the girl's smooth face.
I really like the feeling that my fingertips walked up the woman, so I continued to slide.
It seems like that night long ago.
This time, the girl did not open her mouth again. The cat gently squinted her eyes and her cheeks were slightly sideways. It seemed that she wanted to be closer to the man's palm. After a while, she let go of the glass in her hand and sat down softly. Next to the sofa, let the man take off his shoulder strap tonight with a red wine dress.
It wasn't until the man reached out and grabbed her body, Meyer gently whispered: "Eric."
Eric stopped the action in his hand and looked at the girl with a blush: "Well?"
"No," the girl paused and shook her head. The body still leaned against the sofa and said, "Nothing."
Eric smiled and said, "Would you like, let's go to your room?"
"No, no," Meyer hesitated, took the initiative to stand up and slowly crawled on Eric, saying: "That's it."
